耶和华荣光充满殿宇

所罗门祈祷已毕,就有火从天上降下来,烧尽燔祭和别的祭,耶和华的荣光充满了殿。 因耶和华的荣光充满了耶和华殿,所以祭司不能进殿。 那火降下,耶和华的荣光在殿上的时候,以色列众人看见,就在铺石地俯伏叩拜,称谢耶和华说:“耶和华本为善,他的慈爱永远长存!”

所罗门与民献祭

王和众民在耶和华面前献祭。 所罗门王用牛二万二千、羊十二万献祭。这样,王和众民为神的殿行奉献之礼。 祭司侍立,各供其职。利未人也拿着耶和华的乐器,就是大卫王造出来借利未人颂赞耶和华的:“他的慈爱永远长存!”祭司在众人面前吹号,以色列人都站立。 所罗门因他所造的铜坛容不下燔祭、素祭和脂油,便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣,在那里献燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。

集民守节

那时所罗门以色列众人,就是从哈马口直到埃及小河所有的以色列人,都聚集成为大会,守节七日。 第八日设立严肃会,行奉献坛的礼七日,守节七日。 10 七月二十三日,王遣散众民。他们因见耶和华向大卫所罗门与他民以色列所施的恩惠,就都心中喜乐,各归各家去了。

耶和华之警戒与应许

11 所罗门造成了耶和华殿和王宫,在耶和华殿和王宫凡他心中所要做的,都顺顺利利地做成了。 12 夜间,耶和华向所罗门显现,对他说:“我已听了你的祷告,也选择这地方作为祭祀我的殿宇。 13 我若使天闭塞不下雨,或使蝗虫吃这地的出产,或使瘟疫流行在我民中, 14 这称为我名下的子民,若是自卑,祷告,寻求我的面,转离他们的恶行,我必从天上垂听,赦免他们的罪,医治他们的地。 15 我必睁眼看、侧耳听在此处所献的祷告。 16 现在我已选择这殿,分别为圣,使我的名永在其中,我的眼、我的心也必常在那里。 17 你若在我面前效法你父大卫所行的,遵行我一切所吩咐你的,谨守我的律例、典章, 18 我就必坚固你的国位,正如我与你父大卫所立的约说:‘你的子孙必不断人做以色列的王。’

19 “倘若你们转去,丢弃我指示你们的律例、诫命,去侍奉敬拜别神, 20 我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上拔出根来,并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾,使他在万民中做笑谈,被讥诮。 21 这殿虽然甚高,将来经过的人必惊讶,说:‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢?’ 22 人必回答说:‘是因此地的人离弃耶和华他们列祖的神,就是领他们出埃及地的神,去亲近别神,敬拜侍奉他,所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们。’”

聖殿奉獻禮

所羅門禱告完畢,就有火從天上降下,燒盡了燔祭和其他祭物。殿裡充滿了耶和華的榮光, 以致祭司不能進殿。 全體以色列人看見有火降下,又看見耶和華的榮光停在殿上,便俯伏敬拜,稱謝耶和華說:

「耶和華是美善的,
祂的慈愛永遠長存。」

所羅門王和全體民眾一同向耶和華獻祭。 所羅門王獻上兩萬二千頭牛和十二萬隻羊,王和全體民眾為上帝的殿舉行奉獻典禮。 祭司在自己的崗位上侍立,利未人奏著大衛王為頌讚耶和華而為他們製造的樂器,歌頌說:「祂的慈愛永遠長存。」他們對面的祭司也吹響號角,全體以色列人都肅立。

所羅門因所造的銅壇太小,容不下燔祭、素祭和脂肪,就把耶和華殿前院子中間的地方分別出來,作聖潔之地,在那裡獻上燔祭和平安祭祭牲的脂肪。

所羅門和從哈馬口直至埃及小河而來的全體以色列人聚成一大群會眾,一起守節期七天。 第八天舉行莊嚴的聚會,又舉行七天獻壇禮。之後,他們又歡慶七天。 10 七月二十三日,所羅門王讓民眾各回本鄉。他們看見耶和華向大衛、所羅門和祂的以色列子民所施的恩惠,就滿心歡喜地回家去了。

耶和華向所羅門顯現

11 所羅門建完了耶和華的殿和他自己的王宮,他按計劃完成了耶和華殿裡和他自己宮裡的一切工作。 12 耶和華在夜間向所羅門顯現,對他說:「我已聽見你的禱告,也已選擇這殿作為給我獻祭的地方。 13 若我使天不下雨,使蝗蟲吞吃地上的出產,或叫瘟疫在我民中流行, 14 而這些被稱為我名下的子民若謙卑下來,祈禱、尋求我的面,離開惡道,我必從天上垂聽,赦免他們的罪,醫治他們的土地。 15 現在,我會睜眼看、留心聽在這殿裡獻上的禱告。 16 我已選擇這殿,使之聖潔,永遠歸在我的名下,我的眼和我的心必常在那裡。 17 如果你像你父親大衛一樣事奉我,遵行我一切的吩咐,謹守我的律例和典章, 18 我必使你的王位穩固,正如我曾與你父親大衛立約,說,『你的子孫必永遠統治以色列。』

19 「然而,如果你們背棄我指示你們的律例和誡命,去供奉、祭拜別的神明, 20 我必把你們從我賜給你們的土地上剷除,並離棄我為自己的名而使之聖潔的這殿,使這殿在萬民中成為笑柄、被人嘲諷。 21 這殿雖然宏偉,但將來經過的人必驚訝地問,『耶和華為什麼這樣對待這地方和這殿呢?』 22 人們會回答,『因為他們背棄曾領他們祖先離開埃及的耶和華——他們的上帝,去追隨、祭拜、供奉別的神明,所以耶和華把這一切災禍降在他們身上。』」

圣殿奉献礼

所罗门祷告完毕,就有火从天上降下,烧尽了燔祭和其他祭物。殿里充满了耶和华的荣光, 以致祭司不能进殿。 全体以色列人看见有火降下,又看见耶和华的荣光停在殿上,便俯伏敬拜,称谢耶和华说:

“耶和华是美善的,
祂的慈爱永远长存。”

所罗门王和全体民众一同向耶和华献祭。 所罗门王献上两万二千头牛和十二万只羊,王和全体民众为上帝的殿举行奉献典礼。 祭司在自己的岗位上侍立,利未人奏着大卫王为颂赞耶和华而为他们制造的乐器,歌颂说:“祂的慈爱永远长存。”他们对面的祭司也吹响号角,全体以色列人都肃立。

所罗门因所造的铜坛太小,容不下燔祭、素祭和脂肪,就把耶和华殿前院子中间的地方分别出来,作圣洁之地,在那里献上燔祭和平安祭祭牲的脂肪。

所罗门和从哈马口直至埃及小河而来的全体以色列人聚成一大群会众,一起守节期七天。 第八天举行庄严的聚会,又举行七天献坛礼。之后,他们又欢庆七天。 10 七月二十三日,所罗门王让民众各回本乡。他们看见耶和华向大卫、所罗门和祂的以色列子民所施的恩惠,就满心欢喜地回家去了。

耶和华向所罗门显现

11 所罗门建完了耶和华的殿和他自己的王宫,他按计划完成了耶和华殿里和他自己宫里的一切工作。 12 耶和华在夜间向所罗门显现,对他说:“我已听见你的祷告,也已选择这殿作为给我献祭的地方。 13 若我使天不下雨,使蝗虫吞吃地上的出产,或叫瘟疫在我民中流行, 14 而这些被称为我名下的子民若谦卑下来,祈祷、寻求我的面,离开恶道,我必从天上垂听,赦免他们的罪,医治他们的土地。 15 现在,我会睁眼看、留心听在这殿里献上的祷告。 16 我已选择这殿,使之圣洁,永远归在我的名下,我的眼和我的心必常在那里。 17 如果你像你父亲大卫一样事奉我,遵行我一切的吩咐,谨守我的律例和典章, 18 我必使你的王位稳固,正如我曾与你父亲大卫立约,说,‘你的子孙必永远统治以色列。’

19 “然而,如果你们背弃我指示你们的律例和诫命,去供奉、祭拜别的神明, 20 我必把你们从我赐给你们的土地上铲除,并离弃我为自己的名而使之圣洁的这殿,使这殿在万民中成为笑柄、被人嘲讽。 21 这殿虽然宏伟,但将来经过的人必惊讶地问,‘耶和华为什么这样对待这地方和这殿呢?’ 22 人们会回答,‘因为他们背弃曾领他们祖先离开埃及的耶和华——他们的上帝,去追随、祭拜、供奉别的神明,所以耶和华把这一切灾祸降在他们身上。’”

'歷 代 志 下 7 ' not found for the version: Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version.

And when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from Heaven and consumed the Burnt Offering and the Sacrifices. And the Glory of the LORD filled the House,

so that the priests could not enter into the House of the LORD because the Glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’s House.

And when all the children of Israel saw the fire, and the Glory of the LORD come down upon the House, they bowed themselves with their faces to the earth, upon the pavement, and worshipped and praised the LORD, saying, “For He is good, because His mercy endures forever!”

Then the king and all the people offered Sacrifices before the LORD.

And King Solomon offered a Sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So, the king and all the people dedicated the House of God.

And the Priests waited on their offices, and the Levites, with the instruments of music of the LORD which King David had made to “praise the LORD, because His mercy endures forever”. When David praised with them, the priests also blew trumpets opposite them. And all those of Israel stood by.

Moreover, Solomon sanctified the middle of the court that was in front of the House of the LORD. For he had prepared Burnt Offerings there, and the fat of the Peace Offerings, because the bronze Altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the Burnt Offering and the Meat Offering and the fat.

And Solomon made a seven-day Feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the River of Egypt.

And on the eighth day, they had a solemn assembly. For they had made the dedication of the Altar for seven days, and the Feast for seven days.

10 And the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away into their tents, joyous and with glad hearts, because of the goodness that the LORD had done for David and for Solomon and for Israel, His people.

11 So, Solomon finished the House of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the House of the LORD. And he prospered in his house.

12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon at night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself, to be a House of Sacrifice.

13 “If I shut the heaven, so that there is no rain, or if I command the grasshopper to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people—

14 “if my people among whom My Name is called upon will humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and turn from their wicked ways—then will I hear in Heaven and be merciful to their sin and will heal their land.

15 “Then My Eyes shall be open and My Ears attentive to the prayers in this place.

16 “For I have now chosen and sanctified this House, so that My Name may be there forever. And My Eyes and My Heart shall be there perpetually.

17 “And if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, to do according to all that I have Commanded you, and shall observe My Statutes and My Judgments,

18 “then will I establish the throne of your kingdom, just as I made the Covenant with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.’

19 “But if you turn away, and forsake My Statutes and My Commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them,

20 “then will I pluck them up out of My land which I have given them. And I will cast this House which I have sanctified for My Name out of My sight and will make it a proverb and common talk among all people.

21 “And this House which is Most High shall be an astonishment to everyone who passes by it, so that he shall say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land, and to this House?’

22 “And they shall answer, ‘Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold of other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them. Therefore, He has brought all this misery upon them.”
