Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a cloud.
1那時， 所羅門 說： 耶和華曾說他必住在幽暗之處。
2But I have built a house to his name, that he might dwell there for ever.
2但我已經建造殿宇作你的居所， 為你永遠的住處。
3And the king turned his face, and blessed all the multitude of Israel (for all the multitude stood attentive) and he said:
3王轉臉為 以色列 會眾祝福， 以色列 會眾就都站立。
4Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying:
4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。
5From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel.
5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；
6But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him 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 。』」
7And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,
7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，
8The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:
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；
9But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
9只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』
10The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place 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 God of Israel.
10「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。
11And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel.
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。」
12And he stood before the altar of the I Lord, in presence of all the multitude of Israel, and stretched forth his hands.
12所羅門 當着 以色列 會眾，站在耶和華的壇前，舉起手來，
13For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and had set it in the midst of the temple, which was five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it: then kneeling down in the presence of all the multitude of Israel, and lifting up his hands towards heaven,
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，當着 以色列 的會眾跪下，向天舉手，
14He said: O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven nor in earth: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
14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；
15Who hast performed to thy servant David my father all that thou hast promised him: and hast accomplished in fact, what thou hast spoken with thy mouth, as also the present time proveth.
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。
16Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill to thy servant David my father, whatsoever thou hast promised him, saying: There shall not fail thee a man in my sight, to sit upon the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their ways, and walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
16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。
17And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy word be established which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.
17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。
18Is it credible then that God should dwell with men on the earth? If heaven and the heavens of heavens do not contain thee, how much less this house, which I have built?
18「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？
19But to this end only it is made, that thou mayest regard the prayer of thy servant and his supplication, O Lord my God: and mayest hear the prayers which thy servant poureth out before thee.
19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。
20That thou mayest open thy eyes upon this house day and night, upon the place wherein thou hast promised that thy name should be called upon,
20願你晝夜看顧這殿，就是你應許立為你名的居所；求你垂聽僕人向此處禱告的話。
21And that thou wouldst hear the prayer which thy servant prayeth in it: hearken then to the prayers of thy servant, and of thy people Israel. Whosoever shall pray in this place, hear thou from thy dwelling place, that is, from heaven, and shew mercy.
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，垂聽而赦免。
22If any man sin against his neighbour, and come to swear against him, and bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house:
22「人若得罪鄰舍，有人叫他起誓，他來到這殿，在你的壇前起誓，
23Then hear thou from heaven, and do justice to thy servants, so as to requite the wicked by making his wickedness fall upon his own head, and to revenge the just, rewarding him according to his justice.
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。
24If thy people Israel be overcome by their enemies, (for they will sin against thee,) and being converted shall do penance, and call upon thy name, and pray to thee in this place,
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，
25Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back into the land, which thou gavest to them, and their fathers.
25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。
26If the heavens be shut up, and there fall no rain by reason of the sins of the people, and they shall pray to thee in this place, and confess to thy name, and be converted from their sins, when thou dost afflict 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，
27Then hear thou from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of thy servants and of thy people Israel, and teach them the good way, in which they may walk: and give rain to thy land which thou hast given to thy people to possess.
27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。
28If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence or blasting, or mildew, or locusts, or caterpillars: or if their enemies waste the country, and besiege the cities, whatsoever scourge or infirmity shall be upon them:
28「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，
29Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,
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，
30Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to have in his heart: (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
30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），
31That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
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。
32If the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, come from a far country, for the sake of thy great name, and thy strong hand, and thy stretched out arm, and adore in this place:
32「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，
33Hear thou from heaven thy firm dwelling place, and do all that which that stranger shall call upon thee for: that all the people of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee, as thy people Israel, and may know, that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.
33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。
34If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by the way that thou shalt send them, and adore thee towards the way of this city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:
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，
35Then hear thou from heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and revenge them.
35求你從天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求，使他們得勝。
36And if they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them up to their enemies, and they lead them away captive to a land either afar off, or near at hand,
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；
37And if they be converted in their heart in the land to which they were led captive, and do penance, and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have dealt unjustly:
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，我們悖逆了，我們作惡了』；
38And return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to which they were led away, and adore thee towards the way of their own land which thou gavest their fathers, and of the city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:
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，
39Then hear thou from heaven, that is, from thy firm dwelling place, their prayers, and do judgment, and forgive thy people, although they have sinned:
39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。
40For thou art my God: let thy eyes, I beseech thee, be open, and let thy ears be attentive to the prayer, that is made in this place.
40「我的上帝啊，現在求你睜眼看，側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。
41Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, put on salvation, and thy saints rejoice in good things.
41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。
42O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
42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。」
