列王紀上 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1那時， 所羅門 將 以色列 的長老和各支派的首領，並 以色列 的族長，招聚到 耶路撒冷 ，要把耶和華的約櫃從 大衛城 －就是 錫安 －運上來。
1Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.
2以他念月，就是七月，在節前， 以色列 人都聚集到 所羅門 王那裏。
2And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.
3以色列 長老來到，祭司便抬起 約 櫃，
3And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,
4祭司和 利未 人將耶和華的 約 櫃運上來，又將會幕和會幕的一切聖器具都帶上來。
4And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.
5所羅門 王和聚集到他那裏的 以色列 全會眾，一同在 約 櫃前獻牛羊為祭，多得不可勝數。
5And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.
6祭司將耶和華的約櫃抬進內殿，就是至聖所，放在兩個基路伯的翅膀底下。
6And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.
7基路伯張着翅膀在 約 櫃之上，遮掩 約 櫃和抬櫃的槓。
7For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.
8這槓甚長，槓頭在內殿前的聖所可以看見，在殿外卻不能看見，直到如今還在那裏。
8And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.
9約櫃裏惟有兩塊石版，就是 以色列 人出 埃及 地後，耶和華與他們立約的時候 摩西 在 何烈山 所放的。除此以外，並無別物。
9Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10祭司從聖所出來的時候，有雲充滿耶和華的殿；
10And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,
11甚至祭司不能站立供職，因為耶和華的榮光充滿了殿。
11And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
12那時 所羅門 說： 耶和華曾說， 他必住在幽暗之處。
12Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.
13我已經建造殿宇作你的居所， 為你永遠的住處。
13Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.
14王轉臉為 以色列 會眾祝福， 以色列 會眾就都站立。
14And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.
15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。
15And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:
16他說：『自從我領我民 以色列 出 埃及 以來，我未曾在 以色列 各支派中選擇一城建造殿宇－為我名的 居所 ，但揀選 大衛 治理我民 以色列 。』」
16Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17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。
17And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:
18耶和華卻對我父 大衛 說：『你立意為我的名建殿，這意思甚好。
18And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.
19只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』
19Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
20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，又為耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的名建造了殿。
20The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
21我也在其中為 約 櫃預備一處。 約 櫃內有耶和華的約，就是他領我們列祖出 埃及 地的時候，與他們所立的約。」
21And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
22所羅門 當着 以色列 會眾，站在耶和華的壇前，向天舉手說：
22And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;
23「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；
23And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.
24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。
24Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.
25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，在我面前行事像你所行的一樣，就不斷人坐 以色列 的國位。』現在求你應驗這話。
25Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.
26以色列 的上帝啊，求你成就向你僕人－我父 大衛 所應許的話。
26And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.
27「上帝果真住在地上嗎？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？
27Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?
28惟求耶和華－我的上帝垂顧僕人的禱告祈求，俯聽僕人今日在你面前的祈禱呼籲。
28But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
29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。
29That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.
30你僕人和你民 以色列 向此處祈禱的時候，求你在天上你的居所垂聽，垂聽而赦免。
30That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.
31「人若得罪鄰舍，有人叫他起誓，他來到這殿在你的壇前起誓，
31If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,
32求你在天上垂聽，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。
32Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.
33「你的民 以色列 若得罪你，敗在仇敵面前，又歸向你，承認你的名，在這殿裏祈求禱告，
33If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee,) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:
34求你在天上垂聽，赦免你民 以色列 的罪，使他們歸回你賜給他們列祖之地。
34Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.
35「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，
35If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:
36求你在天上垂聽，赦免你僕人 以色列 民的罪，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。
36Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.
37「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，
37If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,
38你的民 以色列 ，或是眾人，或是一人，自覺有罪，向這殿舉手，無論祈求甚麼，禱告甚麼，
38Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,
39求你在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），
39Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)
40使他們在你賜給我們列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你。
40That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
41「論到不屬你民 以色列 的外邦人，為你名從遠方而來，
41Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,
42（他們聽人論說你的大名和大能的手，並伸出來的膀臂）向這殿禱告，
42And thy stretched out arm,) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,
43求你在天上你的居所垂聽，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。
43Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.
44「你的民若奉你的差遣，無論往何處去與仇敵爭戰，向耶和華所選擇的城與我為你名所建造的殿禱告，
44If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:
45求你在天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求，使他們得勝。
45And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.
46「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仇敵之地，或遠或近，
46But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;
47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』；
47Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:
48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，
48And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:
49求你在天上你的居所垂聽他們的禱告祈求，為他們伸冤；
49Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:
50饒恕得罪你的民，赦免他們的一切過犯，使他們在擄他們的人面前蒙憐恤。
50And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.
51因為他們是你的子民，你的產業，是你從 埃及 領出來脫離鐵爐的。
51For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
52願你的眼目看顧僕人，聽你民 以色列 的祈求，無論何時向你祈求，願你垂聽。
52That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.
53主耶和華啊，你將他們從地上的萬民中分別出來作你的產業，是照你領我們列祖出 埃及 的時候，藉你僕人 摩西 所應許的話。」
53For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
54所羅門 在耶和華的壇前屈膝跪着，向天舉手，在耶和華面前禱告祈求已畢，就起來，
54And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.
55站着，大聲為 以色列 全會眾祝福，說：
55And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:
56「耶和華是應當稱頌的！因為他照着一切所應許的賜平安給他的民 以色列 人，凡藉他僕人 摩西 應許賜福的話，一句都沒有落空。
56Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.
57願耶和華－我們的上帝與我們同在，像與我們列祖同在一樣，不撇下我們，不丟棄我們，
57The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:
58使我們的心歸向他，遵行他的道，謹守他吩咐我們列祖的誡命、律例、典章。
58But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.
59我在耶和華面前祈求的這些話，願耶和華－我們的上帝晝夜垂念，每日為他僕人與他民 以色列 伸冤，
59And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:
60使地上的萬民都知道惟獨耶和華是上帝，並無別神。
60That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
61所以你們當向耶和華－我們的上帝存誠實的心，遵行他的律例，謹守他的誡命， 至終 如今日一樣。」
61Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.
62王和 以色列 眾民一同在耶和華面前獻祭。
62And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.
63所羅門 向耶和華獻平安祭，用牛二萬二千，羊十二萬。這樣，王和 以色列 眾民為耶和華的殿行奉獻之禮。
63And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.
64當日，王因耶和華殿前的銅壇太小，容不下燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油，便將耶和華殿前院子當中分別為聖，在那裏獻燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油。
64In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.
65那時， 所羅門 和 以色列 眾人，就是從 哈馬 口直到 埃及 小河所有的 以色列 人，都聚集成為大會，在耶和華－我們的上帝面前守節七日又七日，共十四日。
65And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.
66第八日，王遣散眾民；他們都為王祝福。因見耶和華向他僕人 大衛 和他民 以色列 所施的一切恩惠，就都心中喜樂，各歸各家去了。
66And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
