歷代志下 6

那時，所羅門說： 耶和華曾說他必住在幽暗之處。

nà shí ， suǒ luó mén shuō ： yē hé huá céng shuō tā bì zhù zài yōu àn zhī chù 。

Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

但我已經建造殿宇作你的居所， 為你永遠的住處。

dàn wǒ yǐ jīng jiàn zào diàn yǔ zuò nǐ de jū suǒ ， wèi nǐ yǒng yuǎn de zhù chù 。

But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

王轉臉為以色列會眾祝福，以色列會眾就都站立。

wáng zhuǎn liǎn wèi yǐ sè liè huì zhòng zhù fú ， yǐ sè liè huì zhòng jiù dōu zhàn lì 。

The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

所羅門說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的！因他親口向我父大衛所應許的，也親手成就了。

suǒ luó mén shuō ：「 yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén shì yìng dāng chēng sòng de ！ yīn tā qīn kǒu xiàng wǒ fù dà wèi suǒ yīng xǔ de ， yě qīn shǒu chéng jiù le 。

He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

他說：『自從我領我民出埃及地以來，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，也未曾揀選一人作我民以色列的君；

tā shuō ：『 zì cóng wǒ lǐng wǒ mín chū āi jí dì yǐ lái ， wǒ wèi céng zài yǐ sè liè zhòng zhī pài zhōng xuǎn zé yì chéng jiàn zào diàn yǔ wèi wǒ míng de jū suǒ ， yě wèi céng jiǎn xuǎn yì rén zuò wǒ mín yǐ sè liè de jūn ；

‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;

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。』」

dàn xuǎn zé yē lù sā lěng wèi wǒ míng de jū suǒ ， yòu jiǎn xuǎn dà wèi zhì lǐ wǒ mín yǐ sè liè 。』」

but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’

所羅門說：「我父大衛曾立意要為耶和華－以色列上帝的名建殿，

suǒ luó mén shuō ：「 wǒ fù dà wèi céng lì yì yào wèi yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè shén de míng jiàn diàn ，

Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

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；

yē hé huá què duì wǒ fù dà wèi shuō ：『 nǐ lì yì yào wèi wǒ de míng jiàn diàn ， zhè yì sī shèn hǎo ；

But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;

只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』

zhǐ shì nǐ bù kě jiàn diàn ， wéi nǐ suǒ shēng de ér zi bì wèi wǒ míng jiàn diàn 。』

nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

「現在耶和華成就了他所應許的話，使我接續我父大衛坐以色列的國位，是照耶和華所說的，又為耶和華－以色列上帝的名建造了殿。

「 xiàn zài yē hé huá chéng jiù le tā suǒ yìng xǔ de huà ， shǐ wǒ jiē xù wǒ fù dà wèi zuò yǐ sè liè de guó wèi ， shì zhào yē hé huá suǒ shuō de ， yòu wèi yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè shén de míng jiàn zào le diàn 。

“The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

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。」

wǒ jiāng yuē guì ān zhì zài qí zhōng ， guì nèi yǒu yē hé huá de yuē ， jiù shì tā yǔ yǐ sè liè rén suǒ lì de yuē 。」

There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”

所羅門當着以色列會眾，站在耶和華的壇前，舉起手來，

suǒ luó mén dāng zhe yǐ sè liè huì zhòng ， zhàn zài yē hé huá de tán qián ， jǔ qǐ shǒu lái ，

He stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

（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，當着以色列的會眾跪下，向天舉手，

（ suǒ luó mén céng zào yí gè tóng tái ， cháng wǔ zhǒu ， kuān wǔ zhǒu ， gāo sān zhǒu ， fàng zài yuàn zhōng ） jiù zhàn zài tái shàng ， dāng zhe yǐ sè liè de huì zhòng guì xià ， xiàng tiān jǔ shǒu ，

(for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven).

說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，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；

shuō ：「 yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén a ， tiān shàng dì xià méi yǒu shén kě bǐ nǐ de ！ nǐ xiàng nà jìn xīn xíng zài nǐ miàn qián de pú rén shǒu yuē shī cí ài ；

Then he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

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。

xiàng nǐ pú rén — wǒ fù dà wèi suǒ yīng xǔ de huà xiàn zài yìng yàn le 。 nǐ qīn kǒu yīng xǔ ， qīn shǒu chéng jiù ， zhèng rú jīn rì yí yàng 。

who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，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，像你在我面前所行的一樣，就不斷人坐以色列的國位。』現在求你應驗這話。

yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén a ， nǐ suǒ yīng xǔ nǐ pú rén — wǒ fù dà wèi de huà shuō ：『 nǐ de zǐ sūn ruò jǐn shèn zì jǐ de xíng wéi ， zūn shǒu wǒ de lǜ fǎ ， xiàng nǐ zài wǒ miàn qián suǒ xíng de yí yàng ， jiù bú duàn rén zuò yǐ sè liè de guó wèi 。』 xiàn zài qiú nǐ yìng yàn zhè huà 。

“Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’

耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，求你成就向你僕人大衛所應許的話。

yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén a ， qiú nǐ chéng jiù xiàng nǐ pú rén dà wèi suǒ yīng xǔ de huà 。

Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

「上帝果真與世人同住在地上嗎？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何況我所建的這殿呢？

「 shén guǒ zhēn yǔ shì rén tóng zhù zài dì shàng ma ？ kàn nǎ ， tiān hé tiān shàng de tiān shàng qiě bù zú nǐ jū zhù de ， hé kuàng wǒ suǒ jiàn de zhè diàn ne ？

“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

惟求耶和華－我的上帝垂顧僕人的禱告祈求，俯聽僕人在你面前的祈禱呼籲。

wéi qiú yē hé huá — wǒ de shén chuí gù pú rén de dǎo gào qí qiú ， fǔ tīng pú rén zài nǐ miàn qián de qí dǎo hū yù 。

Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;

願你晝夜看顧這殿，就是你應許立為你名的居所；求你垂聽僕人向此處禱告的話。

yuàn nǐ zhòu yè kàn gù zhè diàn ， jiù shì nǐ yīng xǔ lì wèi nǐ míng de jū suǒ ； qiú nǐ chuí tīng pú rén xiàng cǐ chù dǎo gào de huà 。

that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.

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，垂聽而赦免。

nǐ pú rén hé nǐ mín yǐ sè liè xiàng cǐ chù qí dǎo de shí hòu ， qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng nǐ de jū suǒ chuí tīng ， chuí tīng ér shè miǎn 。

Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

「人若得罪鄰舍，有人叫他起誓，他來到這殿，在你的壇前起誓，

「 rén ruò dé zuì lín shè ， yǒu rén jiào tā qǐ shì ， tā lái dào zhè diàn ， zài nǐ de tán qián qǐ shì ，

“If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,

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。

qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng chuí tīng ， pàn duàn nǐ de pú rén ， dìng è rén yǒu zuì ， zhào tā suǒ xíng de bào yìng zài tā tóu shàng ； dìng yì rén yǒu lǐ ， zhào tā de yì shǎng cì tā 。

then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

「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，

「 nǐ de mín yǐ sè liè ruò dé zuì nǐ ， bài zài chóu dí miàn qián ， yòu huí xīn zhuǎn yì chéng rèn nǐ de míng ， zài zhè diàn lǐ xiàng nǐ qí qiú dǎo gào ，

“If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,

求你從天上垂聽，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他們歸回你賜給他們和他們列祖之地。

qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng chuí tīng ， shè miǎn nǐ mín yǐ sè liè de zuì ， shǐ tā men guī huí nǐ cì gěi tā men hé tā men liè zǔ zhī dì 。

then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

「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，

「 nǐ de mín yīn dé zuì nǐ ， nǐ chéng fá tā men ， shǐ tiān bì sè bú xià yǔ ， tā men ruò xiàng cǐ chù dǎo gào ， chéng rèn nǐ de míng ， lí kāi tā men de zuì ，

“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,

求你在天上垂聽，赦免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。

qiú nǐ zài tiān shàng chuí tīng ， shè miǎn nǐ pú rén hé nǐ mín yǐ sè liè de zuì ， jiāng dāng xíng de shàn dào zhǐ jiào tā men ， qiě jiàng yǔ zài nǐ de dì ， jiù shì nǐ cì gěi nǐ mín wèi yè zhī dì 。

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

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

「 guó zhōng ruò yǒu jī huāng 、 wēn yì 、 hàn fēng 、 méi làn 、 huáng chóng 、 mǎ zhà ， huò yǒu chóu dí fàn jìng ， wéi kùn chéng yì ， wú lùn zāo yù shén me zāi huò jí bìng ，

“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—

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，

nǐ de mín yǐ sè liè ， huò shì zhòng rén ， huò shì yì rén ， zì jué zāi huò shèn kǔ ， xiàng zhè diàn jǔ shǒu ， wú lùn qí qiú shén me ， dǎo gào shén me ，

whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands toward this house,

求你從天上你的居所垂聽赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他們（惟有你知道世人的心），

qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng nǐ de jū suǒ chuí tīng shè miǎn 。 nǐ shì zhī dào rén xīn de ， yào zhào gè rén suǒ xíng de dài tā men （ wéi yǒu nǐ zhī dào shì rén de xīn ），

then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),

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。

shǐ tā men zài nǐ cì gěi wǒ men liè zǔ zhī dì shàng yì shēng yí shì jìng wèi nǐ ， zūn xíng nǐ de dào 。

that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

「論到不屬你民以色列的外邦人，為你的大名和大能的手，並伸出來的膀臂，從遠方而來，向這殿禱告，

「 lùn dào bù shǔ nǐ mín yǐ sè liè de wài bāng rén ， wèi nǐ de dà míng hé dà néng de shǒu ， bìng shēn chū lái de bǎng bì ， cóng yuǎn fāng ér lái ， xiàng zhè diàn dǎo gào ，

“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

求你從天上你的居所垂聽，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下萬民都認識你的名，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。

qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng nǐ de jū suǒ chuí tīng ， zhào zhe wài bāng rén suǒ qí qiú de ér xíng ， shǐ tiān xià wàn mín dōu rèn shi nǐ de míng ， jìng wèi nǐ ， xiàng nǐ de mín yǐ sè liè yí yàng ， yòu shǐ tā men zhī dào wǒ jiàn zào de zhè diàn shì chēng wéi nǐ míng xià de 。

then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

「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，

「 nǐ de mín ruò fèng nǐ de chāi qiǎn ， wú lùn wǎng hé chù qù yǔ chóu dí zhēng zhàn ， xiàng nǐ suǒ xuǎn zé de chéng yǔ wǒ wèi nǐ míng suǒ jiàn zào de diàn dǎo gào ，

“If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;

求你從天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求，使他們得勝。

qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng chuí tīng tā men de dǎo gào qí qiú ， shǐ tā men dé shèng 。

then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

「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；

「 nǐ de mín ruò dé zuì nǐ （ shì shàng méi yǒu bú fàn zuì de rén ）， nǐ xiàng tā men fā nù ， jiāng tā men jiāo gěi chóu dí lǔ dào huò yuǎn huò jìn zhī dì ；

“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

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，我們悖逆了，我們作惡了』；

tā men ruò zài lǔ dào zhī dì xiǎng qǐ zuì lái ， huí xīn zhuǎn yì ， kěn qiú nǐ shuō ：『 wǒ men yǒu zuì le ， wǒ men bèi nì le ， wǒ men zuò è le 』；

yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’

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，

tā men ruò zài lǔ dào zhī dì jìn xīn jìn xìng guī fú nǐ ， yòu xiàng zì jǐ de dì ， jiù shì nǐ cì gěi tā men liè zǔ zhī dì hé nǐ suǒ xuǎn zé de chéng ， bìng wǒ wèi nǐ míng suǒ jiàn zào de diàn dǎo gào ，

if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;

求你從天上你的居所垂聽你民的禱告祈求，為他們伸冤，赦免他們的過犯。

qiú nǐ cóng tiān shàng nǐ de jū suǒ chuí tīng nǐ mín de dǎo gào qí qiú ， wèi tā men shēn yuān ， shè miǎn tā men de guò fàn 。

then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

「我的上帝啊，現在求你睜眼看，側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。

「 wǒ de shén a ， xiàn zài qiú nǐ zhēng yǎn kàn ， cè ěr tīng zài cǐ chù suǒ xiàn de dǎo gào 。

“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.

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

yē hé huá shén a ， qiú nǐ qǐ lái ， hé nǐ yǒu néng lì de yuē guì tóng rù ān xī zhī suǒ 。 yē hé huá shén a ， yuàn nǐ de jì sī pī shàng jiù ēn ； yuàn nǐ de shèng mín méng fú huān lè 。

“Now therefore arise, LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.

耶和華上帝啊，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。」

yē hé huá shén a ， qiú nǐ bú yào yàn qì nǐ de shòu gāo zhě ， yào jì niàn xiàng nǐ pú rén dà wèi suǒ shī de cí ài 。」

“LORD God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
