Salomão abençoa o povo e dá graças ao Deus de Israel

6 Então, disse Salomão: O Senhor tem dito que habitaria nas trevas. 2 E eu te tenho edificado uma casa para morada e um lugar para a tua eterna habitação. 3 Então, o rei virou o rosto e abençoou a toda a congregação de Israel, e toda a congregação de Israel estava em pé. 4 E ele disse: Bendito seja o Senhor, Deus de Israel, que falou pela sua boca a Davi, meu pai, e, pelas suas mãos, o cumpriu, dizendo: 5 Desde o dia em que tirei o meu povo da terra do Egito, não escolhi cidade alguma de todas as tribos de Israel, para edificar nela uma casa em que estivesse o meu nome; nem escolhi homem algum para ser chefe do meu povo de Israel. 6 Porém escolhi Jerusalém para que ali estivesse o meu nome; e escolhi Davi, para que tivesse cargo do meu povo de Israel. 7 Também Davi, meu pai, teve no seu coração o edificar uma casa ao nome do Senhor, Deus de Israel. 8 Porém o Senhor disse a Davi, meu pai: Porquanto tiveste no teu coração o edificar uma casa ao meu nome, bem fizeste, de ter isso no teu coração. 9 Contudo, tu não edificarás a casa; mas teu filho, que há de descender de ti, esse edificará a casa ao meu nome. 10 Assim, confirmou o Senhor a sua palavra que ele falou; porque eu me levantei em lugar de Davi, meu pai, e me assentei sobre o trono de Israel, como o Senhor disse, e edifiquei a casa ao nome do Senhor, Deus de Israel. 11 E pus nela a arca em que está o concerto que o Senhor fez com os filhos de Israel.

A oração de Salomão

12 E pôs-se em pé perante o altar do Senhor, defronte de toda a congregação de Israel, e estendeu as mãos. 13 Porque Salomão tinha feito uma base de metal, de cinco côvados de comprimento, e de cinco côvados de largura, e de três côvados de altura, e a tinha posto no meio do pátio; e pôs-se nela em pé, e ajoelhou-se em presença de toda a congregação de Israel, e estendeu as mãos para o céu, 14 e disse: Ó Senhor, Deus de Israel, não há Deus semelhante a ti, nem nos céus nem na terra, como tu, que guardas o concerto e a beneficência aos teus servos que caminham perante ti de todo o seu coração; 15 que guardaste ao teu servo Davi, meu pai, o que lhe prometeste; porque tu, pela tua boca, o disseste e, pela tua mão, o cumpriste, como se vê neste dia. 16 Agora, pois, Senhor, Deus de Israel, faze a teu servo Davi, meu pai, o que prometeste, dizendo: Nunca faltará de ti varão de diante de mim, que se assente sobre o trono de Israel; tão somente que teus filhos guardem seu caminho, andando na minha lei, como tu andaste diante de mim. 17 E, agora, Senhor, Deus de Israel, verifique-se a tua palavra que disseste ao teu servo, a Davi.

18 Mas verdadeiramente habitará Deus com os homens na terra? Eis que o céu e o céu dos céus não te podem conter, quanto menos esta casa que tenho edificado? 19 Atende, pois, à oração do teu servo e à sua súplica, ó Senhor, meu Deus, para ouvires o clamor e a oração que o teu servo faz perante ti. 20 Que os teus olhos estejam dia e noite abertos sobre este lugar, de que disseste que ali porias o teu nome, para ouvires a oração que o teu servo fizer neste lugar. 21 Ouve, pois, as súplicas do teu servo, e do teu povo de Israel, que fizerem neste lugar; e ouve tu do lugar da tua habitação, desde os céus; ouve, pois, e perdoa.

22 Quando alguém pecar contra o seu próximo e lhe impuser juramento de maldição, para se amaldiçoar a si mesmo, e o juramento de maldição vier perante o teu altar, nesta casa, 23 ouve tu, então, desde os céus, e age, e julga a teus servos, pagando ao ímpio, lançando o seu proceder sobre a sua cabeça e justificando o justo, dando-lhe segundo a sua justiça.

24 Quando também o teu povo de Israel for ferido diante do inimigo, por ter pecado contra ti, e eles se converterem, e confessarem o teu nome, e orarem, e suplicarem perante ti nesta casa, 25 então, ouve tu desde os céus, e perdoa os pecados de teu povo de Israel, e faze-os tornar à terra que tens dado a eles e a seus pais.

26 Quando os céus se cerrarem, e não houver chuva, por terem pecado contra ti, e orarem neste lugar, e confessarem teu nome, e se converterem dos seus pecados, quando tu os afligires, 27 então, ouve tu desde os céus, e perdoa o pecado de teus servos e do teu povo de Israel, ensinando-lhes o bom caminho, em que andem, e dá chuva sobre a tua terra, que deste ao teu povo em herança.

28 Havendo fome na terra, havendo peste, havendo queimadura dos trigos, ou ferrugem, gafanhotos, ou lagarta, cercando-a algum dos seus inimigos nas terras das suas portas, ou quando houver qualquer praga, ou qualquer enfermidade, 29 toda oração, e toda súplica que qualquer homem fizer ou todo o teu povo de Israel, conhecendo cada um a sua praga e a sua dor e estendendo as suas mãos para esta casa, 30 então, ouve tu desde os céus, do assento da tua habitação, e perdoa, e dá a cada um conforme todos os seus caminhos, segundo conheces o seu coração (pois só tu conheces o coração dos filhos dos homens), 31 a fim de que te temam, para andarem nos teus caminhos, todos os dias que viverem na terra que deste a nossos pais.

32 Assim também ao estrangeiro que não for do teu povo de Israel, mas vier de terras remotas por amor do teu grande nome, e da tua poderosa mão, e do teu braço estendido, vindo ele e orando nesta casa, 33 então, ouve tu desde os céus, do assento da tua habitação, e faze conforme tudo o que o estrangeiro te suplicar, a fim de que todos os povos da terra conheçam o teu nome e te temam, como o teu povo de Israel, e a fim de saberem que pelo teu nome é chamada esta casa que edifiquei.

34 Quando o teu povo sair à guerra contra os seus inimigos, pelo caminho que os enviares, e orarem a ti para a banda desta cidade que escolheste, e desta casa que edifiquei ao teu nome, 35 ouve, então, desde os céus a sua oração e a sua súplica e executa o seu direito.

36 Quando pecarem contra ti (pois não há homem que não peque), e tu te indignares contra eles e os entregares diante do inimigo, para que os que os cativarem os levem em cativeiro para alguma terra, remota ou vizinha; 37 e, na terra para onde forem levados em cativeiro, tornarem a si, e se converterem, e, na terra do seu cativeiro, a ti suplicarem, dizendo: Pecamos, e perversamente fizemos, e impiamente procedemos, 38 e se converterem a ti com todo o seu coração e com toda a sua alma, na terra do seu cativeiro, a que os levaram presos, e orarem para a banda da sua terra que deste a seus pais, e desta cidade que escolheste e desta casa que edifiquei ao teu nome, 39 ouve, então, desde os céus, do assento da tua habitação, a sua oração e as suas súplicas, e executa o seu direito, e perdoa ao teu povo que houver pecado contra ti.

40 Agora, pois, ó meu Deus, estejam os teus olhos abertos, e os teus ouvidos atentos à oração deste lugar. 41 Levanta-te, pois, agora, Senhor Deus, e entra para o teu repouso, tu e a arca da tua fortaleza; e os teus sacerdotes, ó Senhor Deus, sejam vestidos de salvação, e os teus santos se alegrem do bem. 42 Ah! Senhor Deus, não faças virar o rosto do teu ungido; lembra-te das misericórdias de Davi, teu servo.

La Bible du Semeur

Salomon loue l’Eternel

6 Alors Salomon dit : L’Eternel a déclaré qu’il demeurerait dans un lieu obscur. 2 Et moi, j’ai bâti pour toi une résidence, un lieu où tu habiteras éternellement.

3 Puis le roi se retourna et bénit toute l’assemblée d’Israël qui se tenait debout. 4 Il dit : Béni soit l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël, qui a, de sa propre bouche, parlé à mon père David, et qui a agi pour accomplir la promesse qu’il lui avait faite. Il lui avait dit[a] : 5 « Depuis le jour où j’ai fait sortir mon peuple d’Egypte, je n’ai jamais choisi une ville particulière parmi toutes les tribus d’Israël pour qu’on y bâtisse un temple où je sois présent, et je n’ai pas choisi un homme pour qu’il soit le chef de mon peuple Israël[b]. 6 Mais voici que j’ai élu Jérusalem pour y établir ma présence, et j’ai choisi David pour gouverner mon peuple Israël ! » 7 Mon père David avait à cœur de bâtir un temple en l’honneur de l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël. 8 Mais l’Eternel lui a déclaré : « Ton projet de bâtir un temple en mon honneur est une excellente chose : tu as bien fait de prendre cela à cœur. 9 Toutefois, ce n’est pas toi qui bâtiras ce temple, c’est ton propre fils qui le bâtira pour moi. » 10 L’Eternel a tenu sa promesse : j’ai succédé à mon père David et j’occupe le trône d’Israël, comme l’Eternel l’avait annoncé, et j’ai construit ce temple en l’honneur de l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël. 11 J’y ai déposé le coffre qui contient le code de l’alliance de l’Eternel, cette alliance qu’il a conclue avec les Israélites.

La prière d’intercession de Salomon(A)

12 Puis Salomon se plaça devant l’autel de l’Eternel, en faisant face à toute l’assemblée d’Israël. Il leva les mains pour prier. 13 En effet, Salomon avait fait construire une estrade de bronze, ayant une forme carrée, de deux mètres cinquante de côté et d’un mètre cinquante de haut. Il l’avait fait installer au milieu du parvis et il se tenait dessus. Là, il se mit à genoux devant toute l’assemblée d’Israël. Il leva les mains vers le ciel 14 et pria : Eternel, Dieu d’Israël ! Il n’y a pas de Dieu semblable à toi, ni dans le ciel ni sur la terre ! Tu es fidèle à ton alliance et tu conserves ta bonté à tes serviteurs qui se conduisent selon ta volonté de tout leur cœur. 15 Ainsi tu as tenu la promesse que tu avais faite à ton serviteur David, mon père, oui, tu as agi pour que soit accompli ce que tu lui avais déclaré de ta propre bouche. 16 A présent, Eternel, Dieu d’Israël, veuille aussi tenir l’autre promesse que tu lui as faite lorsque tu lui as dit : « Il y aura toujours l’un de tes descendants qui siégera sous mon regard sur le trône d’Israël, à condition qu’ils veillent sur leur conduite pour vivre selon ma Loi, comme tu as toi-même vécu selon ma volonté[c]. » 17 Oui, maintenant, Eternel, Dieu d’Israël, daigne réaliser cette promesse que tu as faite à ton serviteur David !

18 Mais est-ce qu’en vérité Dieu habiterait avec les hommes sur la terre, alors que le ciel dans toute son immensité ne saurait le contenir ? Combien moins ce temple que je viens de construire ! 19 Toutefois, Eternel, mon Dieu, veuille être attentif à la prière et à la supplication de ton serviteur et écouter l’appel que je t’adresse ! 20 Que tes yeux veillent jour et nuit sur ce temple, ce lieu où tu as toi-même promis d’établir ta présence ! Et exauce la prière que ton serviteur t’adresse en ce lieu[d] ! 21 Daigne écouter ses supplications et celles de ton peuple Israël lorsqu’il viendra prier ici ! Depuis le lieu où tu demeures, depuis le ciel, entends notre prière et veuille pardonner !

22 Si quelqu’un est accusé d’avoir commis une faute envers son prochain et si l’on exige de lui qu’il prête serment avec des imprécations ici devant ton autel, dans ce temple, 23 sois attentif depuis le ciel, interviens et juge tes serviteurs pour faire venir sur le coupable le châtiment que mérite sa conduite, et pour faire reconnaître l’innocence du juste afin qu’il soit traité selon son innocence.

24 Si ton peuple Israël est battu par un ennemi, parce que ses membres auront péché contre toi, si ensuite ils reviennent en arrière, s’ils t’adressent leurs louanges, te prient et expriment leurs supplications devant toi, dans ce temple, 25 écoute-les depuis le ciel, pardonne le péché de ton peuple Israël et ramène-les dans le pays que tu leur as donné, à eux et à leurs ancêtres !

26 Quand le ciel sera fermé et refusera de donner la pluie parce que ton peuple aura péché contre toi, si ce peuple prie en ce lieu, s’il te loue et se détourne de ses fautes, après que tu l’as affligé, 27 écoute-le depuis le ciel, pardonne le péché de tes serviteurs et de ton peuple Israël, indique-leur la bonne ligne de conduite à suivre, et fais tomber la pluie sur ton pays que tu as donné en possession à ton peuple !

28 Quand la famine ou la peste sévira dans le pays, quand les céréales seront atteintes de maladie, quand surviendra une invasion de sauterelles ou de criquets, ou quand ses ennemis assiégeront ton peuple dans son pays, dans les villes fortifiées du pays, quand quelque maladie ou quelque malheur s’abattra sur lui, 29-30 si, considérant sa peine et sa souffrance, chacun tend les mains vers ce temple, veuille exaucer du ciel, le lieu où tu demeures, les prières et les supplications que t’adressera tout homme ou tout ton peuple Israël. Pardonne-leur et traite chacun selon sa conduite, puisque tu connais le cœur de chacun. En effet, toi seul tu connais le cœur des humains. 31 De cette manière, ils te craindront et se conduiront comme tu le leur as prescrit tout le temps qu’ils vivront sur l’étendue du territoire que tu as donné à nos ancêtres.

32 Et même si un étranger qui ne fait pas partie de ton peuple Israël vient d’un pays lointain pour prier dans ce temple parce qu’il aura entendu parler de ta grandeur et de la puissance que tu déploies pour agir, 33 veuille l’écouter depuis le ciel, depuis la demeure où tu habites, et lui accorder tout ce qu’il t’aura demandé. De cette manière, tous les peuples du monde te connaîtront, ils te craindront comme le fait ton peuple Israël, et ils reconnaîtront que le temple que j’ai construit t’appartient.

34 Lorsque ton peuple partira pour combattre ses ennemis, sur le chemin où tu l’enverras, s’il te prie en se tournant vers cette ville que tu as choisie et vers ce temple que j’ai construit en ton honneur, 35 daigne écouter depuis le ciel leurs prières et leurs supplications et défendre leur cause !

36 Il se peut qu’ils commettent un péché contre toi – car quel est l’homme qui ne commet jamais de péché ? – Alors tu seras irrité contre eux, tu les livreras au pouvoir de leurs ennemis qui les emmèneront en captivité dans un pays étranger, proche ou lointain. 37 S’ils se mettent à réfléchir dans le pays où ils auront été déportés, s’ils reviennent en arrière et t’adressent leurs supplications dans le pays de leur captivité et qu’ils disent : « Nous avons péché, nous avons mal agi, nous sommes coupables », 38 s’ils reviennent à toi de tout leur cœur et de tout leur être, dans le pays de leur captivité où ils auront été déportés, et s’ils prient en se tournant vers le pays que tu as donné à leurs ancêtres, vers la ville que tu as choisie et vers le temple que j’ai construit en ton honneur, 39 alors depuis le ciel, la demeure où tu habites, veuille écouter leur prière et leurs supplications, et défendre leur cause ! Pardonne à ton peuple les péchés qu’il aura commis contre toi ! 40 Désormais donc, mon Dieu, veuille écouter attentivement et considérer favorablement toute prière faite en ce lieu.

41 Et maintenant, ô Dieu, ╵Eternel, lève-toi ╵et viens dans le lieu de ta paix,
ô viens avec ton coffre ╵d’où rayonne ta force
et que tes prêtres, ╵Eternel Dieu, ╵se parent du salut.
Que ceux qui te sont attachés ╵poussent des cris de joie, ╵et qu’ils jouissent du bonheur[e] !
42 Eternel Dieu, ╵n’écarte pas le roi ╵qui a reçu l’onction.
Veuille te souvenir ╵de ce que, dans ta bienveillance, ╵tu avais promis à David, ╵ton serviteur[f].

Dedicación del templo

6 (A)Entonces Salomón dijo:

El Señor ha dicho que Él moraría en la densa nube.
2 Yo, pues, te he edificado una casa majestuosa,
un lugar donde mores para siempre.

3 Después el rey se volvió[a] y bendijo a toda la asamblea de Israel, mientras toda la asamblea de Israel estaba de pie,

4 y dijo: Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, que habló por su boca a mi padre David y por su mano lo ha cumplido, cuando dijo: 5 «Desde el día en que saqué a mi pueblo de la tierra de Egipto, no escogí ninguna ciudad de entre todas las tribus de Israel en la cual edificar una casa para que estuviera allí mi nombre, ni escogí a hombre alguno por príncipe sobre mi pueblo Israel; 6 mas escogí a Jerusalén(B) para que mi nombre estuviera allí, y escogí a David para que estuviera sobre mi pueblo Israel(C)». 7 Y mi padre David tuvo en su[b] corazón edificar una casa al nombre del Señor(D), Dios de Israel. 8 Pero el Señor dijo a mi padre David: «Por cuanto tuviste en[c] tu corazón edificar una casa a mi nombre, bien hiciste en desearlo en[d] tu corazón. 9 Sin embargo, tú no edificarás la casa, sino que tu hijo que te nacerá[e], él edificará la casa a mi nombre». 10 Ahora el Señor ha cumplido la palabra que había dicho; pues yo me he levantado en lugar de mi padre David y me he sentado en el trono de Israel, como el Señor prometió[f], y he edificado la casa al nombre del Señor, Dios de Israel. 11 Y he puesto allí el arca, en la cual está el pacto que el Señor hizo con los hijos de Israel(E).

12 Entonces Salomón se puso delante del altar del Señor en presencia de toda la asamblea de Israel y extendió las manos[g]. 13 Porque Salomón había hecho un estrado(F) de bronce de cinco codos[h] de largo, cinco codos de ancho y tres codos de alto, y lo había puesto en medio del atrio; se puso sobre él, se hincó de rodillas en presencia de toda la asamblea de Israel y extendiendo las manos[i] al cielo(G), 14 dijo: Oh Señor, Dios de Israel, no hay Dios como tú ni en el cielo ni en la tierra(H), que guardas el pacto y muestras misericordia(I) a tus siervos que andan delante de ti con todo su corazón; 15 que has cumplido[j] con tu siervo David mi padre lo que le prometiste[k]; ciertamente has hablado con tu boca y lo has cumplido con tu mano, como sucede hoy(J). 16 Ahora pues, oh Señor, Dios de Israel, cumple[l] con tu siervo David mi padre lo que le prometiste[m], diciendo: «No te faltará quién[n] se siente en el trono de Israel, con tal que tus hijos guarden sus caminos para andar en mi ley como tú has andado delante de mí(K)». 17 Ahora pues, oh Señor, Dios de Israel, que se cumpla la palabra que hablaste a tu siervo David.

18 Pero, ¿morará verdaderamente Dios con los hombres en la tierra? He aquí, los cielos y los cielos de los cielos(L) no te pueden contener, cuánto menos esta casa que yo he edificado(M). 19 No obstante, atiende a la oración de tu siervo y a su súplica, oh Señor Dios mío, para que oigas el clamor y la oración que tu siervo hace[o] delante de ti. 20 Que tus ojos estén abiertos día y noche(N) sobre[p] esta casa, sobre[q] el lugar del cual has dicho que pondrías[r] allí tu nombre, para que oigas la oración que tu siervo hará[s] sobre[t] este lugar(O). 21 Y escucha las súplicas de tu siervo y de tu pueblo Israel cuando oren hacia este lugar; escucha tú desde el lugar de tu morada, desde los cielos; escucha y perdona(P).

22 Si alguno peca contra su prójimo, y se le exige juramento[u], y viene y jura delante de tu altar en esta casa, 23 escucha tú desde los cielos y obra y juzga a tus siervos, castigando[v] al impío, haciendo recaer su conducta sobre su cabeza, y justificando al justo dándole conforme a su justicia(Q).

24 Y si tu pueblo Israel es derrotado[w] delante del enemigo por haber pecado contra ti(R), y se vuelven a ti y confiesan tu nombre, y oran y hacen súplica delante de ti en esta casa, 25 escucha tú desde los cielos y perdona el pecado de tu pueblo Israel, y hazlos volver a la tierra que diste a ellos y a sus padres.

26 Cuando los cielos estén cerrados y no haya lluvia(S) por haber ellos pecado contra ti, y oren hacia este lugar y confiesen tu nombre, y se vuelvan de su pecado cuando tú los aflijas, 27 escucha tú desde los cielos y perdona el pecado de tus siervos y de tu pueblo Israel; sí, enséñales el buen camino por el que deben andar(T), y envía lluvia sobre tu tierra, la que diste a tu pueblo por heredad.

28 Si hay hambre en la tierra, si hay pestilencia, si hay tizón o añublo, langosta o saltamontes, si sus enemigos los sitian en la tierra de sus ciudades[x], cualquier plaga o cualquier enfermedad que haya(U), 29 toda oración o toda súplica que sea hecha por cualquier hombre o por todo tu pueblo Israel, conociendo[y] cada cual su aflicción[z] y su dolor, y extendiendo sus manos[aa] hacia esta casa, 30 escucha tú desde los cielos, el lugar de tu morada, y perdona y da a cada uno conforme a todos sus caminos, ya que conoces su corazón (porque solo tú conoces el corazón de los hijos de los hombres(V)), 31 para que te teman[ab] y anden en tus caminos todos los días que vivan sobre la faz de la tierra que diste a nuestros padres.

32 También en cuanto al extranjero que no es de tu pueblo Israel, cuando venga de una tierra lejana a causa de tu gran nombre y de tu mano poderosa y de tu brazo extendido, cuando ellos vengan a orar a esta casa(W), 33 escucha tú desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada, y haz conforme a todo lo que el extranjero te pida, para que todos los pueblos de la tierra conozcan tu nombre, para que te teman[ac], como te teme tu pueblo Israel, y para que sepan que tu nombre es invocado(X) sobre esta casa que he edificado.

34 Cuando salga tu pueblo a la batalla contra sus enemigos, por cualquier camino que los envíes, y oren a ti vueltos hacia[ad] esta ciudad que has escogido, y hacia la casa que he edificado a tu nombre, 35 escucha desde los cielos su oración y su súplica, y hazles justicia.

36 Cuando pequen contra ti (pues no hay hombre que no peque(Y)) y estés airado contra ellos, y los entregues delante del enemigo, y estos[ae] los lleven cautivos a una tierra, lejana o cercana, 37 si recapacitan[af] en la tierra adonde hayan sido llevados cautivos, y se arrepienten y te suplican en la tierra de su cautiverio, diciendo: «Hemos pecado, hemos cometido iniquidad y hemos obrado perversamente»; 38 si se vuelven a ti con todo su corazón y con toda su alma(Z) en la tierra de su cautiverio adonde hayan sido llevados cautivos, y oran vueltos hacia la tierra que diste a sus padres, hacia la ciudad que has escogido y hacia la casa que he edificado a tu nombre, 39 escucha tú desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada, su oración y sus súplicas, hazles justicia y perdona a tu pueblo que ha pecado contra ti.

40 Ahora, oh Dios mío, te ruego que tus ojos estén abiertos y tus oídos atentos a la oración(AA) elevada en este lugar(AB). 41 Ahora pues, levántate, oh Señor Dios, hacia tu reposo, tú y el arca de tu poder; que tus sacerdotes, oh Señor Dios, se revistan de salvación y tus santos se regocijen(AC) en lo que es bueno. 42 Oh Señor Dios, no rechaces el rostro de tu ungido; acuérdate de tus misericordias para con tu siervo David(AD).

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Dedication of the Temple

6 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would reside in thick darkness.(A) 2 I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell forever.”

3 Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel stood. 4 And he said, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who with his hand has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David, saying, 5 ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any of the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, so that my name might be there, and I chose no one as ruler over my people Israel, 6 but I have chosen Jerusalem in order that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’(B) 7 My father David had it in mind to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.(C) 8 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to consider building a house for my name; 9 nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’ 10 Now the Lord has fulfilled his promise that he made, for I have succeeded my father David 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. 11 There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with the people of Israel.”(D)

Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication

12 Then Solomon[a] stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.(E) 13 Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high and had set it in the court, and he stood on it. Then he knelt on his knees in the presence of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.(F) 14 He said, “O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and steadfast love with your servants who walk before you with all their heart(G)— 15 you who have kept for your servant, my father David, what you promised to him. Indeed, you promised with your mouth and this day have fulfilled with your hand.(H) 16 Therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant my father David that which you promised him, saying, ‘There shall never fail you a successor before me to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children keep to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’(I) 17 Therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed that you promised to your servant David.

18 “But will God indeed dwell with mortals on earth? Even heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, much less this house that I have built!(J) 19 Regard your servant’s prayer and his plea, O Lord my God, heeding the cry and the prayer that your servant prays to you. 20 May your eyes be open day and night toward this house, the place where you promised to set your name, and may you heed the prayer that your servant prays toward this place. 21 And hear the plea of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place; may you hear from heaven your dwelling place; hear and forgive.(K)

22 “If someone sins against a neighbor and is required to take an oath and comes and swears before your altar in this house,(L) 23 may you hear from heaven, and act, and judge your servants, repaying the guilty by bringing their conduct on their own heads and vindicating the righteous by rewarding them according to their righteousness.

24 “When your people Israel, having sinned against you, are defeated before an enemy but turn again to you, confess your name, pray and plead with you in this house,(M) 25 then hear from heaven, forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land that you gave to them and to their ancestors.

26 “When heaven is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you and then they pray toward this place, confess your name, and turn from their sin because you punish them,(N) 27 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 grant rain on your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.

28 “If there is famine in the land, if there is plague, blight, mildew, locust, or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in any of the settlements of the lands; whatever suffering, whatever sickness there is;(O) 29 whatever prayer, whatever plea there is from any individual or from all your people Israel, all knowing their own suffering and their own sorrows so that they stretch out their hands toward this house; 30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, forgive, and render to all whose hearts you know, according to all their ways, for only you know the human heart.(P) 31 Thus may they fear you and walk in your ways all the days that they live in the land that you gave to our ancestors.

32 “Likewise when foreigners, who are not of your people Israel, come from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,(Q) 33 then hear from heaven your dwelling place and do whatever the foreigners ask of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and so they may know that your name has been invoked on this house that I have built.(R)

34 “If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name, 35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea and maintain their cause.

36 “If they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you are angry with them and give them to an enemy, so that they are carried away captive to a land far off or near,(S) 37 then if they come to their senses in the land to which they have been taken captive and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’(T) 38 if they repent with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity, to which they were taken captive, and pray toward their land that you gave to their ancestors, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name, 39 then hear from heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their pleas, maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you. 40 Now, O my God, let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to prayer from this place.(U)

41 Now rise up, O Lord God, and go to your resting place,
    you and the ark of your might.
Let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation,
    and let your faithful rejoice in your goodness.(V)
42 O Lord God, do not reject your anointed one.
    Remember your steadfast love for your servant David.”

2 Chronicles 6
New International Version

6 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud;(A) 2 I have built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever.(B)”

3 While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them. 4 Then he said:

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David. For he said, 5 ‘Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. 6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem(C) for my Name(D) to be there, and I have chosen David(E) to rule my people Israel.’

7 “My father David had it in his heart(F) to build a temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 8 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. 9 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’

10 “The Lord has kept the promise he made. I have succeeded David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised, and I have built the temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 11 There I have placed the ark, in which is the covenant(G) of the Lord that he made with the people of Israel.”

Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication(H)(I)

12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands. 13 Now he had made a bronze platform,(J) five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,[a] and had placed it in the center of the outer court. He stood on the platform and then knelt down(K) before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven. 14 He said:

“Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you(L) in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love(M) with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. 15 You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised(N) and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.

16 “Now, Lord, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail(O) to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law,(P) as you have done.’ 17 And now, Lord, the God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true.

18 “But will God really dwell(Q) on earth with humans? The heavens,(R) even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! 19 Yet, Lord my God, give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence. 20 May your eyes(S) be open toward this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your Name(T) there. May you hear(U) the prayer your servant prays toward this place. 21 Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.(V)

22 “When anyone wrongs their neighbor and is required to take an oath(W) and they come and swear the oath before your altar in this temple, 23 then hear from heaven and act. Judge between your servants, condemning(X) the guilty and bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence.

24 “When your people Israel have been defeated(Y) by an enemy because they have sinned against you and when they turn back and give praise to your name, praying and making supplication before you in this temple, 25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their ancestors.

26 “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain(Z) because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place and give praise to your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them, 27 then hear from heaven and forgive(AA) the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.

28 “When famine(AB) or plague comes to the land, or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers, or when enemies besiege them in any of their cities, whatever disaster or disease may come, 29 and when a prayer or plea is made by anyone among your people Israel—being aware of their afflictions and pains, and spreading out their hands toward this temple— 30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive,(AC) and deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know the human heart),(AD) 31 so that they will fear you(AE) and walk in obedience to you all the time they live in the land you gave our ancestors.

32 “As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come(AF) from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand(AG) and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, 33 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner(AH) asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.

34 “When your people go to war against their enemies,(AI) wherever you send them, and when they pray(AJ) to you toward this city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name, 35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause.

36 “When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin(AK)—and you become angry with them and give them over to the enemy, who takes them captive(AL) to a land far away or near; 37 and if they have a change of heart(AM) in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity and say, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly’; 38 and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity where they were taken, and pray toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and toward the temple I have built for your Name; 39 then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and uphold their cause. And forgive(AN) your people, who have sinned against you.

40 “Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive(AO) to the prayers offered in this place.

41 “Now arise,(AP) Lord God, and come to your resting place,(AQ)
    you and the ark of your might.
May your priests,(AR) Lord God, be clothed with salvation,
    may your faithful people rejoice in your goodness.(AS)
42 Lord God, do not reject your anointed one.(AT)
    Remember the great love(AU) promised to David your servant.”
