历代志下 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
6 那时,所罗门说:
“耶和华啊,
你曾说你要住在密云中,
2 现在我为你建造了殿宇,
作你永远的居所。”
所罗门为民众祝福
3 王转身为站立在那里的以色列全体会众祝福。 4 他说:“以色列的上帝耶和华当受称颂!祂亲口给我父大卫的应许,祂也亲手成就了! 5 祂曾说,‘自从我把我的子民带出埃及以来,我并没有在以色列众支派中选出一座城建造殿宇作为我名所在之地,也没有选立一人做我以色列子民的君王。 6 但如今,我拣选了耶路撒冷作为我名所在之地,又拣选了大卫来治理我的以色列子民。’”
7 所罗门又说:“我父大卫曾想建一座殿来尊崇以色列的上帝耶和华之名, 8 但耶和华对我父大卫说,‘你想为我建殿,这番心意是好的, 9 但你不要建,要由你的亲生儿子为我建殿。’ 10 现在耶和华已经成就祂的应许,让我继承我父大卫的王位统治以色列,又为以色列的上帝耶和华的名建了殿。 11 我把约柜安放在里面,约柜里有耶和华与以色列人所立的约。”
所罗门的祷告
12 所罗门当着以色列会众的面,站在耶和华的坛前,向天伸出双手祷告。 13 他曾造一个长二点二五米,宽二点二五米,高一点三五米的铜台,放在院子中间。他站在台上,当着以色列会众的面跪下,向天伸出双手, 14 祷告说:“以色列的上帝耶和华啊,天上地下没有神明可以与你相比!你向尽心遵行你旨意的仆人守约、施慈爱。 15 你持守给你仆人——我父大卫的应许,你曾亲口应许,你今天亲手成就了。 16 以色列的上帝耶和华啊,你曾对你仆人——我父大卫说,‘若你的子孙像你一样谨慎行事,遵行我的律法,你的王朝就不会中断。’求你信守这应许。 17 以色列的上帝耶和华啊,求你实现你给你仆人大卫的应许。
18 “然而,上帝啊,你真的会住在人间吗?看啊,诸天尚且不够你居住,更何况我建造的这殿呢? 19 可是,我的上帝耶和华啊,求你垂顾你仆人的祷告和祈求,垂听你仆人在你面前的呼求和祷告。 20 愿你昼夜看顾这殿——你应许立你名的地方!你仆人向着这地方祷告的时候,求你垂听。 21 你仆人和你的以色列子民向这地方祈祷的时候,求你从你天上的居所垂听,赦免我们的罪。
22 “如果有人得罪邻舍,被叫到这殿中,在你的坛前起誓, 23 求你从天上垂听,在你众仆人当中施行审判,按他们的行为罚恶赏善。
24 “当你的以色列子民因得罪你而败在敌人手中时,如果他们回心转意归向你,承认你的名,在这殿里祈祷, 25 求你从天上垂听,赦免他们的罪,带领他们回到你赐给他们和他们祖先的土地上。
26 “当你的子民得罪你,你惩罚他们,使天不降雨时,如果他们向着这地方祷告,承认你的名,并离开罪恶, 27 求你在天上垂听,赦免你仆人——你以色列子民的罪,教导他们走正道,降下甘霖滋润你赐给你子民作产业的土地。
28 “如果国中有饥荒、瘟疫、旱灾、霉病、蝗灾、虫灾,或是城邑被敌人围困,无论遭遇什么灾祸疾病, 29 只要你的以色列子民,或个人或全体,自知心中痛苦并向着这殿伸手祷告,无论祈求什么, 30 求你从天上的居所垂听,赦免他们。唯独你能洞察人心,你必按各人的行为施行赏罚, 31 使你的子民在你赐给我们祖先的土地上终生敬畏你,遵行你的道。
32 “如果有远方的外族人听说你的大能大力,慕名而来,向着这殿祷告, 33 求你从天上的居所垂听,应允他们的祈求,好叫天下万民都像你的以色列子民一样认识你的名、敬畏你,并知道我建造的这殿属于你的名下。
34 “你的子民奉你的命令上阵与敌人作战,无论他们在哪里,如果他们向着你选择的这城和我为你建造的这殿祷告, 35 求你从天上垂听,使他们得胜。
36 “世上没有不犯罪的人,如果你的子民得罪你,以致你向他们发怒,让敌人把他们掳走,不论远近, 37 若他们在那里回心转意,向你恳求,承认自己犯罪作恶了; 38 若他们全心全意地归向你,朝着你赐给他们祖先的这片土地、你选择的这城和我为你建的这殿向你祷告, 39 求你从你天上的居所垂听他们的祈求,为他们伸张正义,赦免得罪你的子民。
40 “我的上帝啊,
求你睁眼看、侧耳听在这殿里献上的祷告。
41 耶和华上帝啊,
愿你起来与你大能的约柜一同进入你的安息之所!
耶和华上帝啊,
愿你的祭司披上救恩,
愿你的圣民蒙福欢乐!
42 耶和华上帝啊,
求你不要厌弃你所膏立的人,
顾念你曾应许以慈爱待你的仆人大卫。”
2 Cronica 6
Magandang Balita Biblia
Binasbasan ni Solomon ang Buong Israel(A)
6 Sinabi noon ni Solomon:
“Sinabi ninyo, Yahweh, na ibig ninyong manirahan sa makapal na ulap.
2 Ipinagtayo ko kayo ng isang maringal na bahay,
isang lugar na titirhan ninyo magpakailanman.”
3 Pagkatapos ay humarap ang hari at binasbasan ang buong sambayanang Israel. 4 Sinabi(B) niya: “Purihin si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. Tinupad niya ang kanyang pangako kay David na aking ama. Sinabi niya noon: 5 ‘Mula nang ilabas ko sa Egipto ang aking bayan hanggang ngayon, hindi ako pumili ng alinmang lunsod sa mga lipi ng Israel upang ipagtayo ako roon ng isang Templo kung saan ako'y sasambahin. Hindi pa rin ako pumipili ng sinuman upang mamuno sa Israel. 6 Ngunit pinili ko ang Jerusalem upang doon ako sambahin at hinirang ko si David upang mamuno sa aking bayang Israel.’
7 “Binalak ni David na aking ama na ipagtayo ng templo si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, upang doon siya sambahin. 8 Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, ‘Mabuti ang binabalak mong magtayo ng isang Templo para sa akin. 9 Subalit hindi ikaw ang magtatayo niyon, kundi ang isa sa magiging anak mo.’
10 “Natupad ngayon ang pangako ni Yahweh. Humalili ako sa aking amang si David at ngayo'y nakaupo ako sa trono ng Israel gaya ng pangako ni Yahweh. Naitayo ko na ang Templo kung saan ay sasambahin si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. 11 Nailagay ko na roon ang Kaban ng Tipan na kinalalagyan ng kasunduang ginawa ni Yahweh sa sambayanang Israel.”
Ang Panalangin ni Solomon para sa Sarili(C)
12 Pagkatapos, sa harap ng buong sambayanan ng Israel, tumayo si Solomon sa harap ng altar ni Yahweh at iniunat ang kanyang mga kamay. 13 Gumawa siya ng isang entabladong tanso, dalawa't kalahating metro ang haba gayundin ang luwang at isa't kalahating metro ang taas. Ito ay pinagawa sa gitna ng bulwagan. 14 Nanalangin siya ng ganito:
“Yahweh, Diyos ng Israel, walang Diyos na katulad ninyo sa langit man o sa lupa. Tinutupad ninyo ang inyong pangako sa inyong mga lingkod. Tapat ang pag-ibig na ipinapakita ninyo sa kanila habang sila'y nananatiling tapat sa inyo. 15 Tinupad ninyo ngayon ang inyong pangako sa inyong lingkod na si David na aking ama. 16 Yahweh,(D) Diyos ng Israel, patuloy sana ninyong tuparin ang inyong pangako kay David na inyong lingkod nang sabihin ninyo sa kanya: ‘Hindi ko ipapahintulot na ang iyong angkan ay mawalan ng isang nakaupo sa trono ng Israel kung susunod ang iyong mga anak sa Kautusan ko, tulad ng ginawa mo.’ 17 Pagtibayin po ninyo Yahweh, Diyos ng Israel, ang mga pangakong binitiwan ninyo sa aking amang si David na inyong lingkod.
18 “Subalit(E) maaari po bang manirahan sa lupa ang Diyos? Kung ang langit, ang kataas-taasang langit, ay hindi sapat na maging tahanan ninyo, ito pa kayang hamak na Templong aking itinayo? 19 Gayunman, pakinggan po ninyo Yahweh, aking Diyos, ang panalangin at pagsusumamo ng inyong lingkod. 20 Huwag(F) ninyong iwaglit sa inyong paningin araw-gabi ang Templong ito, yamang ipinangako ninyong dito sasambahin ang inyong pangalan. Pakinggan sana ninyo ako kapag ako'y humarap sa Templong ito at nananalangin.
Ang Panalangin ni Solomon para sa Sambayanan
21 “Pakinggan po ninyo ang inyong lingkod at ang inyong bayan tuwing kami'y mananalangin na nakaharap sa lugar na ito. Pakinggan ninyo kami mula sa langit na inyong tahanan at sana'y patawarin ninyo kami.
22 “Sakaling magkasala ang isang tao sa kanyang kapwa at siya'y panumpain sa harap ng inyong altar sa Templong ito, 23 pakinggan po ninyo siya, Yahweh, buhat sa langit. Kayo ang humatol sa inyong mga lingkod. Parusahan ninyo ang nagkasala ayon sa bigat ng kanyang kasalanan at pagpalain ang walang sala.
24 “Sakaling ang inyong bayang Israel ay matalo ng kaaway dahil sa kanilang pagkakasala sa inyo, sa sandaling sila'y magbalik-loob sa inyo, kumilala ng inyong kapangyarihan, nanalangin at nagsumamo sa inyo sa Templong ito, 25 pakinggan po ninyo sila mula diyan sa langit. Patawarin po ninyo ang inyong bayan at ibalik ninyo sila sa lupaing inyong ibinigay sa kanilang mga ninuno.
26 “Kapag pinigil ninyo ang ulan sapagkat nagkasala sa inyo ang inyong bayang Israel, at kung sila'y manalangin sa Templong ito, magpuri sa inyong pangalan at magsisi sa kanilang kasalanan at kilalaning iyon ang dahilan ng inyong pagpaparusa, 27 pakinggan po ninyo sila mula sa langit. Patawarin ninyo ang inyong mga lingkod, ang inyong bayang Israel. Ituro ninyo sa kanila ang landas na dapat nilang tahakin. Papatakin na ninyo ang ulan sa lupaing ipinamana ninyo sa inyong bayan.
28 “Kapag nagkaroon ng taggutom at salot sa lupain, kung malanta at matuyo ang mga halaman, kung ang mga ito'y salantain ng higad at balang, at kung ang alinman sa kanilang mga lunsod ay makubkob ng kaaway, kung lumaganap ang sakit at salot, 29 sa sandaling ang inyong bayang Israel o sinuman sa kanila ay magsisi at iunat ang mga kamay na nananalangin paharap sa lugar na ito upang tumawag at magmakaawa sa iyo, 30 pakinggan ninyo sila mula sa langit na inyong trono at patawarin ninyo sila. Ibigay ninyo sa bawat isa ang nararapat sa kanyang mga gawa, sapagkat kayo lamang ang nakakaalam ng nilalaman ng puso ng tao. 31 Sa ganoon, mananatili silang may takot sa inyo habang sila'y nabubuhay dito sa lupaing ibinigay ninyo sa aming mga ninuno. 32 Idinadalangin ko rin ang dayuhang mula sa malayong lugar at hindi kabilang sa inyong bayang Israel na magsasadya sa Templong ito upang manalangin sapagkat nabalitaan ang inyong dakilang pangalan at kapangyarihan. 33 Pakinggan ninyo siya mula sa langit na inyong trono at ipagkaloob ninyo sa kanya ang kanyang hinihiling. Sa ganoon, kikilalanin ng lahat ng tao sa daigdig ang inyong pangalan. At tulad ng Israel, malalaman nila na kayo ay sinasamba sa Templong ito.
34 “Kapag ang inyong bayan ay nakipagdigma laban sa kanilang mga kaaway bilang pagsunod sa inyong utos, at sila'y nanalangin na nakaharap sa lunsod na ito na inyong pinili at sa Templong aking ipinatayo upang dito'y sambahin kayo, 35 pakinggan po ninyo sila mula sa langit. Pagtagumpayin ninyo sila.
36 “Kapag ang inyong bayan ay nagkasala sa inyo (at walang taong hindi nagkakasala) at dahil sa galit ninyo'y pinabayaan ninyo silang matalo at dalhing-bihag ng kanilang mga kaaway sa malayo o malapit na lupain, 37 kung sa lupaing pinagdalhan sa kanila'y makilala nila ang kanilang kamalian at tanggaping sila'y nagkasala at nagpakasama, 38 sa sandaling sila'y magsisi nang taos-puso at magbalik-loob sa inyo at mula roo'y humarap sila sa lupaing ibinigay mo sa kanilang mga ninuno, sa lunsod na ito na iyong pinili at sa Templong ito na aking ipinatayo upang dito'y sambahin kayo, 39 pakinggan ninyo sila mula sa langit na inyong tahanan. Pakinggan ninyo ang kanilang panalangin at pagsusumamo at iligtas ninyo sila. Patawarin ninyo ang inyong bayan sa kanilang pagkakasala sa inyo. 40 Pagmasdan ninyo kami, O Diyos, at pakinggan ang mga panalanging iniaalay sa lugar na ito.
41 ‘Sa(G) iyong tahanan, Panginoong Yahweh, pumasok ka kasama ang Kaban,
ang Kaban na sagisag ng inyong kapangyarihan.
Iyong mga pari, hayaang magpahayag ng iyong kaligtasan,
ang mga hinirang sumigaw sa galak!
42 Huwag ninyong itakwil, Panginoong Yahweh, ang pinili ninyong hari.
Alalahanin ninyo ang inyong tapat na pag-ibig kay David na inyong lingkod.’”
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.”
