2 Chronicles

Chapter 6

1 Then227 said559 Solomon,8010 The LORD3068 hath said559 that he would dwell7931 in the thick darkness.6205

2 But I589 have built1129 a house1004 of habitation2073 for thee, and a place4349 for thy dwelling3427 forever.5769

3 And the king4428 turned5437 853 his face,6440 and blessed1288 853 the whole3605 congregation6951 of Israel:3478 and all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel3478 stood.5975

4 And he said,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 who hath with his hands3027 fulfilled4390 that which834 he spoke1696 with his mouth6310 to854 my father1 David,1732 saying,559

5 Since4480 the day3117 that834 I brought forth3318 853 my people5971 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 I chose977 no3808 city5892 among all4480 3605 the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to build1129 a house1004 in, that my name8034 might be1961 there;8033 neither3808 chose977 I any man376 to be1961 a ruler5057 over5921 my people5971 Israel: 3478

6 But I have chosen977 Jerusalem,3389 that my name8034 might be1961 there;8033 and have chosen977 David1732 to be1961 over5921 my people5971 Israel.3478

7 Now it was1961 in5973 the heart3824 of David1732 my father1 to build1129 a house1004 for the name8034 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478

8 But the LORD3068 said559 to413 David1732 my father,1 Forasmuch3588 834 as it was1961 in5973 thine heart3824 to build1129 a house1004 for my name,8034 thou didst well2895 in that3588 it was1961 in5973 thine heart: 3824

9 Notwithstanding7535 thou859 shalt not3808 build1129 the house;1004 but3588 thy son1121 which shall come forth3318 out of4480 thy loins,2504 he1931 shall build1129 the house1004 for my name.8034

10 The LORD3068 therefore hath performed6965 853 his word1697 that834 he hath spoken:1696 for I am risen up6965 in the room8478 of David1732 my father,1 and am set3427 on5921 the throne3678 of Israel,3478 as834 the LORD3068 promised,1696 and have built1129 the house1004 for the name8034 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478

11 And in it8033 have I put7760 853 the ark,727 wherein834 8033 is the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 that834 he made3772 with5973 the children1121 of Israel.3478

12 And he stood5975 before6440 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 in the presence of5048 all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel,3478 and spread forth6566 his hands: 3709

13 For3588 Solomon8010 had made6213 a brazen5178 scaffold,3595 of five2568 cubits520 long,753 and five2568 cubits520 broad,7341 and three7969 cubits520 high,6967 and had set5414 it in the midst8432 of the court:5835 and upon5921 it he stood,5975 and kneeled down1288 upon5921 his knees1290 before5048 all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel,3478 and spread forth6566 his hands3709 toward heaven,8064

14 And said,559 O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 there is no369 God430 like thee3644 in the heaven,8064 nor in the earth;776 which keepest8104 covenant,1285 and showest mercy2617 unto thy servants,5650 that walk1980 before6440 thee with all3605 their hearts: 3820

15 Thou which834 hast kept8104 with thy servant5650 David1732 my father1 853 that which834 thou hast promised1696 him; and spakest1696 with thy mouth,6310 and hast fulfilled4390 it with thine hand,3027 as it is this2088 day.3117

16 Now6258 therefore, O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 keep8104 with thy servant5650 David1732 my father1 853 that which834 thou hast promised1696 him, saying,559 There shall not3808 fail3772 thee a man376 in my sight4480 6440 to sit3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of Israel;3478 yet so7535 that thy children1121 take heed8104 853 to their way1870 to walk1980 in my law,8451 as834 thou hast walked1980 before6440 me.

17 Now6258 then, O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 let thy word1697 be verified,539 which834 thou hast spoken1696 unto thy servant5650 David.1732

18 But3588 will God430 in very deed552 dwell3427 with854 men120 on5921 the earth?776 behold,2009 heaven8064 and the heaven8064 of heavens8064 cannot3808 contain3557 thee; how much less637 this2088 house1004 which834 I have built!1129

19 Have respect6437 therefore to413 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 and to413 his supplication,8467 O LORD3068 my God,430 to hearken8085 unto413 the cry7440 and the prayer8605 which834 thy servant5650 prayeth6419 before6440 thee:

20 That thine eyes5869 may be1961 open6605 upon413 this2088 house1004 day3119 and night,3915 upon413 the place4725 whereof834 thou hast said559 that thou wouldest put7760 thy name8034 there;8033 to hearken8085 unto413 the prayer8605 which834 thy servant5650 prayeth6419 toward413 this2088 place.4725

21 Hearken8085 therefore unto413 the supplications8469 of thy servant,5650 and of thy people5971 Israel,3478 which834 they shall make6419 toward413 this2088 place:4725 hear8085 thou859 from thy dwelling3427 place,4480 4725 even from4480 heaven;8064 and when thou hearest,8085 forgive.5545

22 If518 a man376 sin2398 against his neighbor,7453 and an oath423 be laid5375 upon him to make him swear,422 and the oath423 come935 before6440 thine altar4196 in this2088 house;1004

23 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 heaven,8064 and do,6213 and judge8199 853 thy servants,5650 by requiting7725 the wicked,7563 by recompensing5414 his way1870 upon his own head;7218 and by justifying6663 the righteous,6662 by giving5414 him according to his righteousness.6666

24 And if518 thy people5971 Israel3478 be put to the worse5062 before6440 the enemy,341 because3588 they have sinned2398 against thee; and shall return7725 and confess3034 853 thy name,8034 and pray6419 and make supplication2603 before6440 thee in this2088 house;1004

25 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 the heavens,8064 and forgive5545 the sin2403 of thy people5971 Israel,3478 and bring them again7725 unto413 the land127 which834 thou gavest5414 to them and to their fathers.1

26 When the heaven8064 is shut up,6113 and there is1961 no3808 rain,4306 because3588 they have sinned2398 against thee; yet if they pray6419 toward413 this2088 place,4725 and confess3034 853 thy name,8034 and turn7725 from their sin,4480 2403 when3588 thou dost afflict6031 them;

27 Then hear8085 thou859 from heaven,8064 and forgive5545 the sin2403 of thy servants,5650 and of thy people5971 Israel,3478 when3588 thou hast taught3384 them the good2896 way,1870 wherein834 they should walk;1980 and send5414 rain4306 upon5921 thy land,776 which834 thou hast given5414 unto thy people5971 for an inheritance.5159

28 If3588 there be1961 dearth7458 in the land,776 if3588 there be1961 pestilence,1698 if3588 there be1961 blasting,7711 or mildew,3420 locusts,697 or caterpillars;2625 if3588 their enemies341 besiege6887 them in the cities8179 of their land;776 whatsoever3605 sore5061 or whatsoever3605 sickness4245 there be:

29 Then what3605 prayer8605 or what3605 supplication8467 soever834 shall be made1961 of any3605 man,120 or of all3605 thy people5971 Israel,3478 when834 every one376 shall know3045 his own sore5061 and his own grief,4341 and shall spread forth6566 his hands3709 in413 this2088 house: 1004

30 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 heaven8064 thy dwelling3427 place,4349 and forgive,5545 and render5414 unto every man376 according unto all3605 his ways,1870 853 whose heart3824 thou knowest;3045 (for3588 thou859 only905 knowest3045 853 the hearts3824 of the children1121 of men: )120

31 That4616 they may fear3372 thee, to walk1980 in thy ways,1870 so long3605 3117 as834 they1992 live2416 in5921 6440 the land127 which834 thou gavest5414 unto our fathers.1

32 Moreover1571 concerning413 the stranger,5237 which834 is not3808 of thy people4480 5971 Israel,3478 but is come935 from a far7350 country4480 776 for thy great name's sake,4616 1419 8034 and thy mighty2389 hand,3027 and thy stretched out5186 arm;2220 if they come935 and pray6419 in413 this2088 house;1004

33 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 the heavens,8064 even from thy dwelling3427 place,4480 4349 and do6213 according to all3605 that834 the stranger5237 calleth7121 to413 thee for; that4616 all3605 people5971 of the earth776 may know3045 853 thy name,8034 and fear3372 thee, as doth thy people5971 Israel,3478 and may know3045 that3588 this2088 house1004 which834 I have built1129 is called7121 by thy name.8034

34 If3588 thy people5971 go out3318 to war4421 against5921 their enemies341 by the way1870 that834 thou shalt send7971 them, and they pray6419 unto413 thee toward1870 this2063 city5892 which834 thou hast chosen,977 and the house1004 which834 I have built1129 for thy name;8034

35 Then hear8085 thou from4480 the heavens8064 853 their prayer8605 and their supplication,8467 and maintain6213 their cause.4941

36 If3588 they sin2398 against thee, (for3588 there is no369 man120 which834 sinneth2398 not,)3808 and thou be angry599 with them, and deliver5414 them over before6440 their enemies,341 and they carry them away captives7617 7617 unto413 a land776 far off7350 or176 near;7138

37 Yet if they bethink themselves7725 413 3824 in the land776 whither834 8033 they are carried captive,7617 and turn7725 and pray2603 unto413 thee in the land776 of their captivity,7628 saying,559 We have sinned,2398 we have done amiss,5753 and have dealt wickedly;7561

38 If they return7725 to413 thee with all3605 their heart3820 and with all3605 their soul5315 in the land776 of their captivity,7628 whither834 they have carried them captives,7617 853 and pray6419 toward1870 their land,776 which834 thou gavest5414 unto their fathers,1 and toward the city5892 which834 thou hast chosen,977 and toward the house1004 which834 I have built1129 for thy name: 8034

39 Then hear8085 thou from4480 the heavens,8064 even from thy dwelling3427 place,4480 4349 853 their prayer8605 and their supplications,8467 and maintain6213 their cause,4941 and forgive5545 thy people5971 which834 have sinned2398 against thee.

40 Now,6258 my God,430 let, I beseech thee,4994 thine eyes5869 be1961 open,6605 and let thine ears241 be attent7183 unto the prayer8605 that is made in this2088 place.4725

41 Now6258 therefore arise,6965 O LORD3068 God,430 into thy resting place,5118 thou,859 and the ark727 of thy strength:5797 let thy priests,3548 O LORD3068 God,430 be clothed3847 with salvation,8668 and let thy saints2623 rejoice8055 in goodness.2896

42 O LORD3068 God,430 turn not away7725 408 the face6440 of thine anointed:4899 remember2142 the mercies2617 of David1732 thy servant.5650

第6章

1 那時,所羅門說:耶和華曾說他必住在幽暗之處。

2 但我已經建造殿宇作你的居所,為你永遠的住處。

3 王轉臉為以色列[whole]會眾祝福;以色列會眾就都站立。

4 所羅門說:「耶和華─以色列的神是應當稱頌的。因他親口向我父大衛所應許的,也親手成就了。

5 他說:『自從我領我民出埃及地那日[day]以來,我未曾在以色列眾支派中選擇一城建造殿宇為我名的居所;[I]也未曾揀選一人作治理我民以色列的[ruler over my people Israel]

6 但選擇耶路撒冷為我名的居所,又揀選大衛治理我民以色列。』」

7 所羅門說:「我父大衛曾立意要為耶和華─以色列神的名建殿,

8 耶和華卻對我父大衛說:『你立意要為我的名建殿,這意思甚好;

9 只是你不可建殿,唯你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』

10 「現在耶和華成就了他所[spoken]的話;[for]我接續我父大衛坐以色列的國位,正如[as]耶和華所應許[promised]的,又為耶和華─以色列神的名建造了殿。

11 我將約櫃安置在其中,櫃內有耶和華的約,就是他與以色列人所立的約。」

12 所羅門當著以色列會眾,站在耶和華的壇前,舉起手來,

13 所羅門曾造一個銅臺,長五肘,寬五肘,高三肘,放在院中,就站在臺上,當著以色列的會眾跪下,向天舉手,

14 說:「耶和華─以色列的神啊,天上地下沒有神可比你的。你向那盡心行在你面前的僕人守約施慈愛;

15 向你僕人─我父大衛所應許的話現在應驗了。你親口應許,親手成就,正如今日一樣。

16 耶和華─以色列的神啊,你所應許你僕人─我父大衛的話說:『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為,遵守我的律法,像你在我[sight]前所行的一樣,就不斷人坐以色列的國位。』現在求你應驗這話。

17 耶和華─以色列的神啊,求你成就向你僕人大衛所應許的話。

18 只是[But]神果真與世人同住在地上嗎?看哪,天和諸天之[of heavens]天尚且不足你居住的,何況我所建的這殿呢。

19 耶和華─我的神啊[O LORD my God],求你垂顧[thy]僕人的禱告呼求[cry],俯聽僕人在你面前的祈禱[prayeth]

20 願你晝夜看顧這殿,就是你應許立為你名的居所;求你垂聽[thy]僕人向此處禱告的話。

21 你僕人和你民以色列向此處祈禱的時候,求你從天上你的居所垂聽,垂聽而饒恕[forgive]

22 「人若得罪鄰居,有人叫他起誓,他來到這殿,在你的壇前起誓,

23 求你從天上垂聽,判斷你的僕人,定惡人有罪,照他所行的報應在他頭上;定義人有理,照他的義賞賜他。

24 「你的民以色列若得罪你,敗在仇敵面前,又回心轉意承認你的名,在這殿裏向你祈求禱告,

25 求你從諸天[heavens]垂聽,饒恕[forgive]你民以色列的罪,[bring]他們歸回你賜給他們和他們列祖之地。

26 「你的民因得罪你,你懲罰他們,使天閉塞不下雨,他們若向此處禱告,承認你的名,離開他們的罪,

27 求你在天上垂聽,饒恕[forgive]你僕人和你民以色列的罪,將當行的善道指教他們,且降雨在你的地,就是你賜給你民為業之地。

28 「國中若有饑荒、瘟疫、旱風、霉爛、蝗蟲、毛蟲[caterpillers],或有仇敵犯境,圍困城邑,無論遭遇甚麼災禍疾病,

29 你的民以色列,或是眾人,或是一人,自覺災禍甚苦,向這殿舉手,無論祈求甚麼,禱告甚麼,

30 求你從天上你的居所垂聽饒恕[forgive]。你是知道人心的,要照各人所行的待他們(唯有你知道世人的心),

31 使他們在你賜給我們列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你,遵行你的道。

32 「論到不屬你民以色列、[but]為你的大名和大能的手,並伸出來的膀臂,從遠方而來的外邦人[stranger]他們若來[if they come]在這殿裏[in this house]禱告;

33 求你從諸天[heavens][even from]你的居所垂聽,照著外邦人所祈求的而行,使地上[earth]眾民都認識你的名,敬畏你,像你的民以色列一樣,又使他們知道我建造的這殿是稱為你名下的。

34 「你的民若奉你的差遣,無論往何處去與仇敵爭戰,向你所選擇的城與我為你名所建造的殿禱告,

35 求你從諸天[heavens]垂聽他們的禱告祈求,使他們得勝。

36 「你的民若得罪你(世上沒有不犯罪的人),你向他們發怒,將他們交給仇敵擄到或遠或近之地;

37 他們若在擄到之地想起罪來,回心轉意,懇求你說:『我們有罪了,我們叛逆了,我們作惡了』;

38 他們若在擄到之地盡心盡性歸服你,又向自己的地,就是你賜給他們列祖之地和你所選擇的城,並我為你名所建造的殿禱告,

39 求你從諸天[heavens][even from]你的居所垂聽你民的禱告祈求,為他們伸冤,饒恕[forgive]他們的罪過[sinned]

40 「我的神啊,現在求你睜眼看,側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。

41 耶和華神啊,求你起來,和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所。耶和華神啊,願你的祭司披上救恩;願你的聖民蒙福歡樂。

42 耶和華神啊,求你不要厭棄你的受膏者,要記念向你僕人大衛所施的慈愛。」

第6章

1 Then227 said559 Solomon,8010 The LORD3068 hath said559 that he would dwell7931 in the thick darkness.6205

1 那時,所羅門說:耶和華曾說他必住在幽暗之處。

2 But I589 have built1129 a house1004 of habitation2073 for thee, and a place4349 for thy dwelling3427 forever.5769

2 但我已經建造殿宇作你的居所,為你永遠的住處。

3 And the king4428 turned5437 853 his face,6440 and blessed1288 853 the whole3605 congregation6951 of Israel:3478 and all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel3478 stood.5975

3 王轉臉為以色列[whole]會眾祝福;以色列會眾就都站立。

4 And he said,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 who hath with his hands3027 fulfilled4390 that which834 he spoke1696 with his mouth6310 to854 my father1 David,1732 saying,559

4 所羅門說:「耶和華─以色列的神是應當稱頌的。因他親口向我父大衛所應許的,也親手成就了。

5 Since4480 the day3117 that834 I brought forth3318 853 my people5971 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 I chose977 no3808 city5892 among all4480 3605 the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to build1129 a house1004 in, that my name8034 might be1961 there;8033 neither3808 chose977 I any man376 to be1961 a ruler5057 over5921 my people5971 Israel: 3478

5 他說:『自從我領我民出埃及地那日[day]以來,我未曾在以色列眾支派中選擇一城建造殿宇為我名的居所;[I]也未曾揀選一人作治理我民以色列的[ruler over my people Israel]

6 But I have chosen977 Jerusalem,3389 that my name8034 might be1961 there;8033 and have chosen977 David1732 to be1961 over5921 my people5971 Israel.3478

6 但選擇耶路撒冷為我名的居所,又揀選大衛治理我民以色列。』」

7 Now it was1961 in5973 the heart3824 of David1732 my father1 to build1129 a house1004 for the name8034 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478

7 所羅門說:「我父大衛曾立意要為耶和華─以色列神的名建殿,

8 But the LORD3068 said559 to413 David1732 my father,1 Forasmuch3588 834 as it was1961 in5973 thine heart3824 to build1129 a house1004 for my name,8034 thou didst well2895 in that3588 it was1961 in5973 thine heart: 3824

8 耶和華卻對我父大衛說:『你立意要為我的名建殿,這意思甚好;

9 Notwithstanding7535 thou859 shalt not3808 build1129 the house;1004 but3588 thy son1121 which shall come forth3318 out of4480 thy loins,2504 he1931 shall build1129 the house1004 for my name.8034

9 只是你不可建殿,唯你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』

10 The LORD3068 therefore hath performed6965 853 his word1697 that834 he hath spoken:1696 for I am risen up6965 in the room8478 of David1732 my father,1 and am set3427 on5921 the throne3678 of Israel,3478 as834 the LORD3068 promised,1696 and have built1129 the house1004 for the name8034 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478

10 「現在耶和華成就了他所[spoken]的話;[for]我接續我父大衛坐以色列的國位,正如[as]耶和華所應許[promised]的,又為耶和華─以色列神的名建造了殿。

11 And in it8033 have I put7760 853 the ark,727 wherein834 8033 is the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 that834 he made3772 with5973 the children1121 of Israel.3478

11 我將約櫃安置在其中,櫃內有耶和華的約,就是他與以色列人所立的約。」

12 And he stood5975 before6440 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 in the presence of5048 all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel,3478 and spread forth6566 his hands: 3709

12 所羅門當著以色列會眾,站在耶和華的壇前,舉起手來,

13 For3588 Solomon8010 had made6213 a brazen5178 scaffold,3595 of five2568 cubits520 long,753 and five2568 cubits520 broad,7341 and three7969 cubits520 high,6967 and had set5414 it in the midst8432 of the court:5835 and upon5921 it he stood,5975 and kneeled down1288 upon5921 his knees1290 before5048 all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel,3478 and spread forth6566 his hands3709 toward heaven,8064

13 所羅門曾造一個銅臺,長五肘,寬五肘,高三肘,放在院中,就站在臺上,當著以色列的會眾跪下,向天舉手,

14 And said,559 O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 there is no369 God430 like thee3644 in the heaven,8064 nor in the earth;776 which keepest8104 covenant,1285 and showest mercy2617 unto thy servants,5650 that walk1980 before6440 thee with all3605 their hearts: 3820

14 說:「耶和華─以色列的神啊,天上地下沒有神可比你的。你向那盡心行在你面前的僕人守約施慈愛;

15 Thou which834 hast kept8104 with thy servant5650 David1732 my father1 853 that which834 thou hast promised1696 him; and spakest1696 with thy mouth,6310 and hast fulfilled4390 it with thine hand,3027 as it is this2088 day.3117

15 向你僕人─我父大衛所應許的話現在應驗了。你親口應許,親手成就,正如今日一樣。

16 Now6258 therefore, O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 keep8104 with thy servant5650 David1732 my father1 853 that which834 thou hast promised1696 him, saying,559 There shall not3808 fail3772 thee a man376 in my sight4480 6440 to sit3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of Israel;3478 yet so7535 that thy children1121 take heed8104 853 to their way1870 to walk1980 in my law,8451 as834 thou hast walked1980 before6440 me.

16 耶和華─以色列的神啊,你所應許你僕人─我父大衛的話說:『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為,遵守我的律法,像你在我[sight]前所行的一樣,就不斷人坐以色列的國位。』現在求你應驗這話。

17 Now6258 then, O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 let thy word1697 be verified,539 which834 thou hast spoken1696 unto thy servant5650 David.1732

17 耶和華─以色列的神啊,求你成就向你僕人大衛所應許的話。

18 But3588 will God430 in very deed552 dwell3427 with854 men120 on5921 the earth?776 behold,2009 heaven8064 and the heaven8064 of heavens8064 cannot3808 contain3557 thee; how much less637 this2088 house1004 which834 I have built!1129

18 只是[But]神果真與世人同住在地上嗎?看哪,天和諸天之[of heavens]天尚且不足你居住的,何況我所建的這殿呢。

19 Have respect6437 therefore to413 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 and to413 his supplication,8467 O LORD3068 my God,430 to hearken8085 unto413 the cry7440 and the prayer8605 which834 thy servant5650 prayeth6419 before6440 thee:

19 耶和華─我的神啊[O LORD my God],求你垂顧[thy]僕人的禱告呼求[cry],俯聽僕人在你面前的祈禱[prayeth]

20 That thine eyes5869 may be1961 open6605 upon413 this2088 house1004 day3119 and night,3915 upon413 the place4725 whereof834 thou hast said559 that thou wouldest put7760 thy name8034 there;8033 to hearken8085 unto413 the prayer8605 which834 thy servant5650 prayeth6419 toward413 this2088 place.4725

20 願你晝夜看顧這殿,就是你應許立為你名的居所;求你垂聽[thy]僕人向此處禱告的話。

21 Hearken8085 therefore unto413 the supplications8469 of thy servant,5650 and of thy people5971 Israel,3478 which834 they shall make6419 toward413 this2088 place:4725 hear8085 thou859 from thy dwelling3427 place,4480 4725 even from4480 heaven;8064 and when thou hearest,8085 forgive.5545

21 你僕人和你民以色列向此處祈禱的時候,求你從天上你的居所垂聽,垂聽而饒恕[forgive]

22 If518 a man376 sin2398 against his neighbor,7453 and an oath423 be laid5375 upon him to make him swear,422 and the oath423 come935 before6440 thine altar4196 in this2088 house;1004

22 「人若得罪鄰居,有人叫他起誓,他來到這殿,在你的壇前起誓,

23 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 heaven,8064 and do,6213 and judge8199 853 thy servants,5650 by requiting7725 the wicked,7563 by recompensing5414 his way1870 upon his own head;7218 and by justifying6663 the righteous,6662 by giving5414 him according to his righteousness.6666

23 求你從天上垂聽,判斷你的僕人,定惡人有罪,照他所行的報應在他頭上;定義人有理,照他的義賞賜他。

24 And if518 thy people5971 Israel3478 be put to the worse5062 before6440 the enemy,341 because3588 they have sinned2398 against thee; and shall return7725 and confess3034 853 thy name,8034 and pray6419 and make supplication2603 before6440 thee in this2088 house;1004

24 「你的民以色列若得罪你,敗在仇敵面前,又回心轉意承認你的名,在這殿裏向你祈求禱告,

25 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 the heavens,8064 and forgive5545 the sin2403 of thy people5971 Israel,3478 and bring them again7725 unto413 the land127 which834 thou gavest5414 to them and to their fathers.1

25 求你從諸天[heavens]垂聽,饒恕[forgive]你民以色列的罪,[bring]他們歸回你賜給他們和他們列祖之地。

26 When the heaven8064 is shut up,6113 and there is1961 no3808 rain,4306 because3588 they have sinned2398 against thee; yet if they pray6419 toward413 this2088 place,4725 and confess3034 853 thy name,8034 and turn7725 from their sin,4480 2403 when3588 thou dost afflict6031 them;

26 「你的民因得罪你,你懲罰他們,使天閉塞不下雨,他們若向此處禱告,承認你的名,離開他們的罪,

27 Then hear8085 thou859 from heaven,8064 and forgive5545 the sin2403 of thy servants,5650 and of thy people5971 Israel,3478 when3588 thou hast taught3384 them the good2896 way,1870 wherein834 they should walk;1980 and send5414 rain4306 upon5921 thy land,776 which834 thou hast given5414 unto thy people5971 for an inheritance.5159

27 求你在天上垂聽,饒恕[forgive]你僕人和你民以色列的罪,將當行的善道指教他們,且降雨在你的地,就是你賜給你民為業之地。

28 If3588 there be1961 dearth7458 in the land,776 if3588 there be1961 pestilence,1698 if3588 there be1961 blasting,7711 or mildew,3420 locusts,697 or caterpillars;2625 if3588 their enemies341 besiege6887 them in the cities8179 of their land;776 whatsoever3605 sore5061 or whatsoever3605 sickness4245 there be:

28 「國中若有饑荒、瘟疫、旱風、霉爛、蝗蟲、毛蟲[caterpillers],或有仇敵犯境,圍困城邑,無論遭遇甚麼災禍疾病,

29 Then what3605 prayer8605 or what3605 supplication8467 soever834 shall be made1961 of any3605 man,120 or of all3605 thy people5971 Israel,3478 when834 every one376 shall know3045 his own sore5061 and his own grief,4341 and shall spread forth6566 his hands3709 in413 this2088 house: 1004

29 你的民以色列,或是眾人,或是一人,自覺災禍甚苦,向這殿舉手,無論祈求甚麼,禱告甚麼,

30 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 heaven8064 thy dwelling3427 place,4349 and forgive,5545 and render5414 unto every man376 according unto all3605 his ways,1870 853 whose heart3824 thou knowest;3045 (for3588 thou859 only905 knowest3045 853 the hearts3824 of the children1121 of men: )120

30 求你從天上你的居所垂聽饒恕[forgive]。你是知道人心的,要照各人所行的待他們(唯有你知道世人的心),

31 That4616 they may fear3372 thee, to walk1980 in thy ways,1870 so long3605 3117 as834 they1992 live2416 in5921 6440 the land127 which834 thou gavest5414 unto our fathers.1

31 使他們在你賜給我們列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你,遵行你的道。

32 Moreover1571 concerning413 the stranger,5237 which834 is not3808 of thy people4480 5971 Israel,3478 but is come935 from a far7350 country4480 776 for thy great name's sake,4616 1419 8034 and thy mighty2389 hand,3027 and thy stretched out5186 arm;2220 if they come935 and pray6419 in413 this2088 house;1004

32 「論到不屬你民以色列、[but]為你的大名和大能的手,並伸出來的膀臂,從遠方而來的外邦人[stranger]他們若來[if they come]在這殿裏[in this house]禱告;

33 Then hear8085 thou859 from4480 the heavens,8064 even from thy dwelling3427 place,4480 4349 and do6213 according to all3605 that834 the stranger5237 calleth7121 to413 thee for; that4616 all3605 people5971 of the earth776 may know3045 853 thy name,8034 and fear3372 thee, as doth thy people5971 Israel,3478 and may know3045 that3588 this2088 house1004 which834 I have built1129 is called7121 by thy name.8034

33 求你從諸天[heavens][even from]你的居所垂聽,照著外邦人所祈求的而行,使地上[earth]眾民都認識你的名,敬畏你,像你的民以色列一樣,又使他們知道我建造的這殿是稱為你名下的。

34 If3588 thy people5971 go out3318 to war4421 against5921 their enemies341 by the way1870 that834 thou shalt send7971 them, and they pray6419 unto413 thee toward1870 this2063 city5892 which834 thou hast chosen,977 and the house1004 which834 I have built1129 for thy name;8034

34 「你的民若奉你的差遣,無論往何處去與仇敵爭戰,向你所選擇的城與我為你名所建造的殿禱告,

35 Then hear8085 thou from4480 the heavens8064 853 their prayer8605 and their supplication,8467 and maintain6213 their cause.4941

35 求你從諸天[heavens]垂聽他們的禱告祈求,使他們得勝。

36 If3588 they sin2398 against thee, (for3588 there is no369 man120 which834 sinneth2398 not,)3808 and thou be angry599 with them, and deliver5414 them over before6440 their enemies,341 and they carry them away captives7617 7617 unto413 a land776 far off7350 or176 near;7138

36 「你的民若得罪你(世上沒有不犯罪的人),你向他們發怒,將他們交給仇敵擄到或遠或近之地;

37 Yet if they bethink themselves7725 413 3824 in the land776 whither834 8033 they are carried captive,7617 and turn7725 and pray2603 unto413 thee in the land776 of their captivity,7628 saying,559 We have sinned,2398 we have done amiss,5753 and have dealt wickedly;7561

37 他們若在擄到之地想起罪來,回心轉意,懇求你說:『我們有罪了,我們叛逆了,我們作惡了』;

38 If they return7725 to413 thee with all3605 their heart3820 and with all3605 their soul5315 in the land776 of their captivity,7628 whither834 they have carried them captives,7617 853 and pray6419 toward1870 their land,776 which834 thou gavest5414 unto their fathers,1 and toward the city5892 which834 thou hast chosen,977 and toward the house1004 which834 I have built1129 for thy name: 8034

38 他們若在擄到之地盡心盡性歸服你,又向自己的地,就是你賜給他們列祖之地和你所選擇的城,並我為你名所建造的殿禱告,

39 Then hear8085 thou from4480 the heavens,8064 even from thy dwelling3427 place,4480 4349 853 their prayer8605 and their supplications,8467 and maintain6213 their cause,4941 and forgive5545 thy people5971 which834 have sinned2398 against thee.

39 求你從諸天[heavens][even from]你的居所垂聽你民的禱告祈求,為他們伸冤,饒恕[forgive]他們的罪過[sinned]

40 Now,6258 my God,430 let, I beseech thee,4994 thine eyes5869 be1961 open,6605 and let thine ears241 be attent7183 unto the prayer8605 that is made in this2088 place.4725

40 「我的神啊,現在求你睜眼看,側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。

41 Now6258 therefore arise,6965 O LORD3068 God,430 into thy resting place,5118 thou,859 and the ark727 of thy strength:5797 let thy priests,3548 O LORD3068 God,430 be clothed3847 with salvation,8668 and let thy saints2623 rejoice8055 in goodness.2896

41 耶和華神啊,求你起來,和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所。耶和華神啊,願你的祭司披上救恩;願你的聖民蒙福歡樂。

42 O LORD3068 God,430 turn not away7725 408 the face6440 of thine anointed:4899 remember2142 the mercies2617 of David1732 thy servant.5650

42 耶和華神啊,求你不要厭棄你的受膏者,要記念向你僕人大衛所施的慈愛。」
