The Temple Is Given to the Lord
7 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky. It burned up the burnt offering and the sacrifices. The Lord’s glory filled the Temple. 2 The priests could not enter the Temple of the Lord because the Lord’s glory filled it. 3 All the people of Israel saw the fire come down from heaven. They also saw the Lord’s glory on the Temple. Then they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground. They worshiped and thanked the Lord. They said,
“The Lord is good.
His love continues forever.”
4 Then King Solomon and all the Israelites offered sacrifices before the Lord. 5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people gave the Temple for the worship of God. 6 The priests stood ready to do their work. The Levites also stood with the instruments of the Lord’s music. King David had made these instruments for praising the Lord. The priests and Levites were saying, “The Lord’s love continues forever.” The priests, who stood across from the Levites, blew their trumpets. And all the Israelites were standing.
7 Solomon made the middle part of the courtyard holy for the Lord. That courtyard is in front of the Temple of the Lord. There Solomon offered burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings. He used the middle of the courtyard because the bronze altar he had made could not hold everything. It couldn’t hold the burnt offerings, grain offerings and fat.
8 Solomon and all the Israelites celebrated the festival for seven days. There were many people. They came from as far away as Lebo Hamath. And they came all the way from the brook of Egypt. 9 They had given the altar for the worship of the Lord. And they celebrated that for seven days. Then they celebrated the festival for seven days. On the eighth day they had a meeting. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month Solomon sent the people home. They were full of joy. They were happy because the Lord had been so good to David, Solomon and his people the Israelites.
The Lord Appears to Solomon
11 Solomon finished the Temple of the Lord and the king’s palace. He had success in doing everything he planned in the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. 12 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night. The Lord said, “Solomon, I have heard your prayer. And I have chosen this place for myself to be a Temple for sacrifices.
13 “I may stop the sky from sending rain. I may command the locusts to destroy the land. I may send sicknesses to my people. 14 Then my people, who are called by my name, will be sorry for what they have done. They will pray and obey me and stop their evil ways. If they do, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land. 15 Now I will see them. And I will listen to the prayers prayed in this place. 16 I have chosen this Temple and made it holy. So I will be worshiped here forever. Yes, I will always watch over it and love it.
17 “Solomon, obey me as your father David did. Obey all I have commanded. Obey my laws and rules. 18 If you do, I will make your kingdom strong. This is the agreement I made with your father David. I told him, ‘David, someone from your family will always be king in Israel.’
19 “But you must not turn away from me. You must not stop obeying the laws and commands I gave you. You must not serve and worship other gods. 20 If you do, I will take the Israelites out of my land, the land I gave them. And I will leave this Temple that I have made holy. All the nations will make fun of it and speak evil about it. 21 This Temple is honored now. But then, everyone who passes by will be surprised. They will say, ‘Why has the Lord done this terrible thing to this land and this Temple?’ 22 Then people will answer, ‘It’s because the Israelites left the Lord, the God their ancestors obeyed. He is the God who led them out of Egypt. But they accepted other gods and worshiped and served them. That is why the Lord brought this disaster on them.’”

A consagração do templo
(1 Rs 8.62-66)
7 Quando Salomão acabou de orar, desceu fogo do céu e consumiu os holocaustos. A glória do Senhor encheu o templo. 2 Foi de tal forma que os sacerdotes nem podiam sequer lá entrar! 3 Todo aquele povo que ali estava prostrou-se com o rosto em terra, adorou e louvou o Senhor, quando viu aquilo:
“O Senhor é bom!
A sua bondade é eterna!”
4-5 Então o rei e todo o povo consagraram o templo, oferecendo sacrifícios de paz ao Senhor. A contribuição de Salomão para esse fim foi de 22 000 bois e de 120 000 ovelhas. 6 Os sacerdotes encontravam-se nos lugares que lhes eram atribuídos, segundo as suas funções; os levitas acompanhavam com instrumentos os cânticos de louvor ao Senhor, “porque a sua bondade é eterna.” Os instrumentos que usavam eram os que David fizera, ele próprio, e usara para o culto do Senhor. Chegando a altura em que os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas, todo o povo se ergueu e ficou de pé.
7 Salomão consagrou o pátio interior do templo, para uso naquele dia, como local de sacrifício para os holocaustos das ofertas de cereais e da porção de gordura das ofertas de paz, porque estes eram tantos que se tornava incomportável sacrificar no altar de bronze.
8 Nos sete dias seguintes, Salomão celebrou com todo o Israel, a festa dos tabernáculos e reuniu-se ali uma grande multidão que chegava de toda a parte de Israel. Vinham desde Hamate, numa das extremidades do país, até ao ribeiro do Egito, no lado oposto. 9 No final, no oitavo dia, realizaram uma assembleia, pois tinham celebrado a dedicação do altar em sete dias e o festival em sete dias suplementares. 10 Depois, no dia 23 do sétimo mês[a], o povo foi mandado para casa, no meio de grandes manifestações de alegria e muito contentamento interior, porque o Senhor tinha sido tão bom para David e Salomão e para o seu povo de Israel.
O Senhor fala de novo a Salomão
(1 Rs 9.1-9)
11 Salomão terminou assim a construção do templo e também a do seu próprio palácio; tudo conforme planeara. 12 De noite, apareceu-lhe o Senhor, que lhe disse:
“Ouvi a tua oração e escolhi este sítio para o templo onde me será prestado culto.
13 Se eu fechar os céus de forma a que não haja mais chuva, se ordenar aos gafanhotos que consumam as searas, ou se enviar uma epidemia entre o povo, 14 então, se o meu povo a quem dei o meu nome se humilhar, orar e me buscar, arrependendo-se dos seus pecados, eu responderei desde o céu, perdoarei os seus pecados e sararei a terra. 15 Estarei bem atento e favorável às orações feitas neste lugar. 16 Porque escolhi este templo e o santifiquei para que o meu nome seja nele glorificado para sempre. Os meus olhos e o meu coração estarão aqui continuamente.
17 Quanto a ti mesmo, se andares perante mim como o teu pai, David, se a tua vida se conformar com tudo quanto te ordenei, se respeitares os meus mandamentos e guardares a minha palavra, 18 farei com que os teus descendentes sejam reis de Israel para sempre, tal como prometi a David, teu pai, quando lhe disse: ‘Não te faltará descendente para reinar sobre o trono de Israel.’
19 Contudo, se tu ou os teus filhos se afastarem de mim, se deixarem de seguir as leis e mandamentos que vos dei, para servirem e adorarem outros deuses, 20 então arrancarei este povo da minha terra que lhes dei, e este templo, que santifiquei para que o meu nome seja nele glorificado, será destruído. Afastá-lo-ei da minha vista e farei com que o meu povo se torne motivo de desprezo e de escárnio para todas as nações; uma desgraça que toda a gente receia que venha a acontecer-lhe. 21 Este templo ficará num montão de ruínas, e qualquer pessoa que por aqui passar ficará espantada e abanará a cabeça, dizendo: ‘Porque é que o Senhor fez tais coisas a esta terra e a este templo?’ 22 A resposta será: ‘Porque este povo abandonou o Senhor, Deus dos seus antepassados, o Deus que o tirou da terra do Egito, e agora adora outros deuses. Foi por essa razão que o Senhor trouxe sobre ele este grande mal.’ ”

The Dedication of the Temple(A)
7 When Solomon finished praying, fire(B) came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled(C) the temple.(D) 2 The priests could not enter(E) the temple of the Lord because the glory(F) of the Lord filled it. 3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the Lord above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying,
“He is good;
his love endures forever.”(G)
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. 5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the temple of God. 6 The priests took their positions, as did the Levites(H) with the Lord’s musical instruments,(I) which King David had made for praising the Lord and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, “His love endures forever.” Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
7 Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat(J) of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.
8 So Solomon observed the festival(K) at that time for seven days, and all Israel(L) with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath(M) to the Wadi of Egypt.(N) 9 On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated(O) the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival(P) for seven days more. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the Lord had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel.
The Lord Appears to Solomon(Q)
11 When Solomon had finished(R) the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, 12 the Lord appeared(S) to him at night and said:
“I have heard your prayer and have chosen(T) this place for myself(U) as a temple for sacrifices.
13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain,(V) or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name,(W) will humble(X) themselves and pray and seek my face(Y) and turn(Z) from their wicked ways, then I will hear(AA) from heaven, and I will forgive(AB) their sin and will heal(AC) their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.(AD) 16 I have chosen(AE) and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
17 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully(AF) as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees(AG) and laws, 18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted(AH) with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor(AI) to rule over Israel.’(AJ)
19 “But if you[a] turn away(AK) and forsake(AL) the decrees and commands I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will uproot(AM) Israel from my land,(AN) which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule(AO) among all peoples. 21 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled(AP) and say,(AQ) ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ 22 People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them(AR)—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’”

聖殿奉獻禮
7 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， 2 以致祭司不能進殿。 3 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。」
4 所羅門王和全體民眾一同向耶和華獻祭。 5 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。 6 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。
7 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。
8 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。 9 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。』」
