Chronicles 历代志下6:12-42
New International Version
聖經新譯本 (CNV Traditional)
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, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had placed it in the center of the outer court. He stood on the platform and then knelt down 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 in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love 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 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 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, as you have done.’ 17 And now, Lord, the God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true.
12所羅門在以色列全體會眾面前，站在耶和華的祭壇前，張開雙手； 13原來所羅門做了一座銅臺，長兩公尺兩公寸，寬兩公尺兩公寸，高一公尺三公寸，安放在外院中。那時他站在銅臺上，在以色列全體會眾面前，屈膝下跪，向天張開雙手， 14說：「耶和華以色列的 神啊，天上地下沒有神可以和你相比的，你向那些一心行在你面前的僕人，常是守約施慈愛的； 15你對你的僕人我父親大衛所應許的，你都遵守了，你親口應許，也親手成全，就像今日一樣。 16耶和華以色列的 神啊，你應許你的僕人我父親大衛說：『只要你的子孫謹守他們的行為，遵守我的律法，像你在我面前所行的一樣，你就不會斷人在我面前坐上以色列的王位。』現在求你應驗這話吧。 17耶和華以色列的 神啊，現在求你實現你向你的僕人大衛應許的話吧！
18 “But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, 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 be open toward this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your Name there. May you hear 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.
18「 神真的要和人住在地上嗎？看哪，天和天上的天也容不下你，何況我建造的這殿呢？ 19耶和華我的 神啊，求你垂注你僕人的禱告和祈求，聆聽你僕人在你面前所發的呼喊和禱告。 20求你張開眼睛，晝夜看顧這殿，就是看顧你所說要立你名的地方；求你垂聽你僕人向著這地方所發的禱告。 21求你垂聽你的僕人和你的子民以色列的祈求，就是他們向著這地方所發的禱告；求你從天上，從你的居所垂聽，垂聽和赦免。
22 “When anyone wrongs their neighbor and is required to take an oath 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 the guilty and bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence.
22「人若是得罪了鄰舍，有人要他起誓，他就來到這殿，在你的祭壇前起誓； 23求你從天上垂聽，施行你的作為，審判你的僕人，照著惡人所行的報應在他頭上；宣告義人無罪，照著他的義行賞賜他。
24 “When your people Israel have been defeated 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.
24「如果你的子民以色列得罪了你，以致在仇敵面前被擊敗；後來回心轉意，承認你的名，在這殿裡向你禱告祈求， 25求你從天上垂聽，赦免你子民以色列的罪，領他們歸回你賜給他們和他們列祖的土地。
26 “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain 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 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.
26「你的子民因得罪了你，你懲罰他們，使天閉塞不下雨；如果他們向著這地方禱告，承認你的名，離開他們的罪， 27求你在天上垂聽，赦免你的僕人和你的子民以色列的罪，把他們當行的正道指教他們，降雨在你的地上，就是你賜給你的子民作產業的地上。
28 “When famine 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, and deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know the human heart), 31 so that they will fear you and walk in obedience to you all the time they live in the land you gave our ancestors.
28「國中若是有饑荒、瘟疫、旱風、霉爛、蝗蟲、螞蚱，或是有仇敵圍困城鎮，或是有甚麼災禍，甚麼疾病， 29你的子民以色列，無論是個別或是全體，自知自己的災禍和痛苦，向著這殿張開雙手禱告或祈求， 30求你從天上你的居所垂聽和赦免他們，你是知道人心的，你必照著各人所行的報應各人；因為只有你知道世人的心。 31使他們在你賜給我們列祖的地上，一生一世敬畏你，遵行你的道路。
32 “As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has 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 temple, 33 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner 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.
32「至於在你的子民以色列以外的外族人，他們為了你的大名、你大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，從遠方而來；他們來向著這殿禱告的時候， 33求你從天上，從你的居所垂聽他們，照著外族人向你呼求的一切而行，使地上萬民都認識你的名，敬畏你，像你的子民以色列一樣；又使他們知道我建造的這殿iGod.HK，是奉為你名的所在。
34 “When your people go to war against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray 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.
34「如果你的子民在你派他們出去的路上，和仇敵作戰，他們向著你揀選的這城，和向著我為你的名建造的這殿向你禱告， 35求你從天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求，使他們得勝。
36 “When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you become angry with them and give them over to the enemy, who takes them captive to a land far away or near; 37 and if they have a change of heart 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 your people, who have sinned against you.
36「如果你的子民得罪了你（因為世上沒有不犯罪的人），你向他們發怒，把他們交在仇敵面前，以致仇敵把他們擄到外地或遠或近； 37如果他們在被擄去的地方回心轉意，在被擄去的地方祈求你說：『我們犯了罪了，我們作了孽了，我們行了惡了。』 38如果他們在被擄去的地方一心一意歸向你，又向著他們自己的地，就是你賜給他們列祖的地，和向著你揀選的這城，以及向著我為你的名建造的這殿禱告， 39求你從天上，從你的居所垂聽他們的禱告祈求，為他們伸冤，赦免得罪了你的那些子民。
40 “Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
40「我的 神啊，現在求你張開眼睛，求你的耳朵垂聽在這地方獻上的禱告。
41 “Now arise, Lord God, and come to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
May your priests, Lord God, be clothed with salvation,
may your faithful people rejoice in your goodness.
41現在，耶和華 神啊，求你起來，願你和你有大能的約櫃進入你安息的地方；耶和華 神啊，願你的祭司都披上救恩；願你的聖民在福樂中歡欣。
42 Lord God, do not reject your anointed one.
Remember the great love promised to David your servant.”
42耶和華 神啊，求你不要轉臉不顧你所膏的人：願你記念你向你僕人大衛所施的慈愛。」
