Young's Literal Translation
Then Solomon declared:
“The
LORD
has
said that
He
would
dwell in the
thick cloud;
Then said
Solomon ,
`Jehovah
said --
to
dwell in thick darkness,
and I have built You
an
exalted
house, a place for You
to dwell
forever
. ”
and I --
I
have built a
house of
habitation
for
Thee
, and
a fixed
place for Thy
dwelling
to the
ages
. '
And as
the whole assembly of Israel stood
there
, the
king
turned
around
and blessed
them
all
And the king
turneth
round
his
face,
and
blesseth
the
whole assembly of Israel, and the
whole
assembly
of
Israel
is
standing,
and said:
“
Blessed be
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, who has
fulfilled
with
His
own
hand
what
He
spoke
with His mouth to
my father David
, saying
,
and he
saith,
`
Blessed `is'
Jehovah
, God of Israel, who hath
spoken
with His mouth with
David
my father, and
with
His
hands
hath
fulfilled
`it'
, saying:
‘Since
the day I brought My people out
of
the land of Egypt, I have not chosen
a city from
any tribe
of Israel in
which
to build a house so
that
My Name would
be
there, nor
have
I chosen
anyone
to be ruler
over My people Israel .
`From
the day that
I brought out
My people from
the land of Egypt, I have not fixed
on
a city out
of
any of the
tribes
of
Israel to build a house for
my name being
there, and
I have
not
fixed
on
a
man
to be leader
over My people Israel ;
But
now
I have
chosen
Jerusalem for My Name to
be
there, and I have
chosen
David to be over My people Israel. ’
and
I fix
on
Jerusalem for My name being
there, and I fix
on
David to be over My people Israel.
Now
it was
in
the heart of my father David
to build a house for the Name of the
LORD,
the
God of Israel .
`And
it is
with
the heart of David
my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah
God of Israel ,
But
the
LORD
said
to
my father David
, ‘Since
it was
in
your
heart to build a house for My Name, you
have
done well to
have
this
in
your
heart .
and
Jehovah
saith
unto
David
my father, Because
that
it hath
been
with
thy
heart to build a house for My name, thou
hast
done well that
it
hath
been
with
thy
heart ,
Nevertheless,
you
are
not the
one
to
build it;
but
your
son
, your
own
offspring
, will
build the house for My Name. ’
but
thou
dost
not build the
house
, for
thy
son
who
cometh
forth
out
from
thy
loins
, he
doth
build the house for My name.
Now
the
LORD
has
fulfilled
the
word that He spoke.
I have
succeeded
my father David
, and I
sit on the throne of Israel, as the
LORD
promised.
I have
built
the house for the Name of the
LORD
, the
God of Israel .
`And
Jehovah
doth
establish
His
word that He spake,
and
I rise
up
in
the
stead
of
David
my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah
spake,
and
I build
the house for the name of Jehovah
, God of Israel ,
And there
I have
provided
a
place for
the ark, which
contains
the covenant of the
LORD
that He made with the children
of Israel. ”
and I place there
the ark, where
`is'
the covenant of Jehovah
that He made with the sons
of Israel. '
Then
Solomon
stood
before the altar of the
LORD
in
front
of
the whole
assembly of Israel and spread
out his hands.
And
he
standeth
before the altar of Jehovah,
over-against
all
the assembly of Israel ,
and spreadeth
out his hand,
--
Now
Solomon had
made a bronze
platform
five cubits long
, five cubits wide
, and three cubits high
, and had
placed
it
in
the
middle
of
the
courtyard.
He stood
on
it, knelt
down
before
the whole
assembly of Israel, spread
out
his hands toward
heaven,
for
Solomon hath
made a scaffold
of
brass,
and
putteth
it
in
the
midst
of
the
court,
five cubits its
length
, and
five cubits its
breadth
, and three cubits its
height
, and he standeth
upon
it, and
kneeleth
on
his
knees
over-against
all
the assembly of Israel, and
spreadeth
forth
his hands towards
the
heavens
--
and said:
“O
LORD
, God of Israel, there is no
God
like You
in heaven
or
on
earth, keeping Your
covenant of
loving
devotion
with
Your
servants who walk
before You
with all their hearts.
and saith
, `O
Jehovah
God of Israel, there is not
like Thee
a
god
in the
heavens
and
in
the
earth, keeping the
covenant and
the
kindness
for
Thy
servants who are
walking
before Thee
with all their heart;
You
have
kept Your
promise
to
Your
servant ,
my father David.
What
You
spoke
with Your
mouth You
have
fulfilled
with Your
hand this day.
who
hast
kept for
Thy
servant David
my father that
which
Thou
didst
speak
to
him;
yea,
Thou
dost
speak
with Thy
mouth ,
and
with Thy
hand hast
fulfilled
`it',
as
at
this day.
Therefore
now, O LORD
, God of Israel, keep for Your
servant ,
my father David
, what
You
promised
when
You
said:
‘You
will
never
fail
to have
a man to
sit
before Me on the throne of Israel, if
only your
descendants
guard
their way to walk in My law as you
have
walked before Me. ’
`And
now, O Jehovah
, God of Israel, keep for Thy
servant David
my father that
which
Thou
didst
speak
to
him
, saying,
There
is
not
cut
off
to thee
a man from
before Me ,
sitting
on the throne of Israel, only ,
if
thy
sons
watch
their way to walk in My law ,
as thou
hast
walked before Me.
And now, O LORD
, God of Israel, please
confirm
what
You
promised
to Your
servant David .
`
And now, O Jehovah
, God of Israel, is
Thy
word
stedfast
that
Thou
hast
spoken
to Thy
servant ,
to
David ,
But
will
God indeed
dwell
with man upon
the earth ?
Even
heaven
, the highest
heaven
, cannot
contain You
, much less this temple
I have built .
(for
is
it
true?
--
God dwelleth
with man on
the earth !
Lo
, the heavens
, and
the
heavens
of
the
heavens,
do
not
contain Thee
, how
much less this house
that
I have built ?)
Yet
regard
the prayer and
plea
of Your
servant, O LORD
my God, so
that
You
may
hear
the cry and the prayer that Your
servant is praying before You.
`And
Thou
hast
turned
unto
the prayer of Thy
servant, and
unto
his
supplication,
O Jehovah
my God, to
hearken
unto
the cry and unto
the prayer that Thy
servant is praying before Thee,
May
Your
eyes be
open toward
this temple
day and night, toward
the place where
You
said You
would
put Your
Name, so
that
You
may
hear
the prayer that Your
servant prays
toward
this place.
for
Thine
eyes being
open towards
this house
by
day and by
night, towards
the place that
Thou
hast
said to
put Thy
name there
, to
hearken
unto
the prayer that Thy
servant prayeth
towards
this place.
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 .
May
You
hear
and forgive
.
`And
Thou
hast
hearkened
unto
the supplications
of Thy
servant ,
and of Thy
people Israel ,
that
they pray towards
this place ,
and
Thou
dost
hear from the
place of
Thy
dwelling,
from
the
heavens,
and hast
hearkened,
and
forgiven
.
When
a man sins
against his neighbor
and is
required
to
take
an oath, and he
comes
to
take
an
oath before Your
altar in this temple,
`If
a man doth
sin
against his neighbour,
and he
hath
lifted
up
on
him
an oath to
cause
him
to
swear
, and the
oath hath
come
in
before Thine
altar in this house
--
then may
You
hear from heaven
and act.
May
You
judge
Your
servants, condemning
the wicked man
by
bringing
down
on his own
head what
he
has
done
, and justifying
the righteous man
by
rewarding
him according to his righteousness.
then Thou
dost
hear from the
heavens,
and hast
done,
and
hast
judged
Thy
servants, to
give
back
to
the wicked ,
to
put
his
way
on his head, and to
declare
righteous
the righteous ,
to
give
to
him according to his righteousness.
When
Your
people Israel are
defeated
before an enemy because they have
sinned
against You
, and they return
to
You
and confess
Your
name, praying
and pleading
before You
in this temple,
`And
if
Thy
people Israel is
smitten
before an enemy ,
because they sin
against Thee
, and they have
turned
back
and confessed
Thy
name, and prayed
and
made
supplication
before Thee
in this house
--
then may
You
hear from heaven
and forgive
the sin of Your
people Israel .
May
You
restore
them to the land
You
gave
to them and their fathers.
then Thou
dost
hear from the
heavens,
and hast
forgiven
the sin of Thy
people Israel ,
and
caused
them to turn
back
unto
the ground
that
Thou
hast
given
to them ,
and to
their fathers.
When
the skies
are
shut
and there is no rain because Your
people
have
sinned
against You
, and they pray
toward
this place and
confess
Your
name
, and they
turn
from their sins
because You
have
afflicted
them ,
`In
the heavens
being
restrained,
and there is no rain ,
because they
sin
against Thee
, and they have
prayed
towards
this place, and confessed
Thy
name
--
from their sin
they
turn
back
because Thou
dost
afflict
them --
then may
You
hear from
heaven
and forgive
the sin of Your
servants, Your
people Israel, so
that
You
may
teach
them the good way in which they should
walk .
May
You
send
rain on the
land that You
gave
Your
people as
an inheritance.
then Thou
dost
hear in
the
heavens,
and hast
forgiven
the sin of Thy
servants, and
of
Thy
people Israel, because
Thou
directest
them unto
the good way in which they walk ,
and
hast
given
rain on Thy
land that Thou
hast
given
to
Thy
people for
an inheritance.
When
famine or
plague
comes
upon
the land, or
blight
or
mildew or
locusts
or
grasshoppers
, or
when their
enemies besiege
them
in their
cities
, whatever
plague or
sickness may
come,
`
Famine ,
when
it
is
in
the land, pestilence,
when
it
is,
blasting,
and
mildew, locust,
and
caterpillar,
when they
are,
when
its
enemies have
distressed
it
in the
land
--
its
gates
, any
plague and
any
sickness ;
then
may
whatever
prayer or
petition
Your
people Israel make—
each knowing
his own afflictions
and spreading
out his hands toward
this temple—
any
prayer ,
any
supplication
that
is
for
any
man,
and
for
all
Thy
people Israel ,
when
they
know
each his own plague,
and his
own
pain,
and
he
hath
spread
out his hands towards
this house:
be
heard
by
You
from heaven
, Your
dwelling
place .
And may
You
forgive
and repay
each man
according to all his ways ,
since
You
know
his heart —
for You
alone
know
the hearts
of men —
then
Thou
dost
hear
from the
heavens
, the
settled
place of
Thy
dwelling,
and hast
forgiven,
and hast
given
to
each according to all his ways (because
Thou
knowest
his heart ,
for Thou
--
Thou
only
--
hast
known
the heart
of the
sons
of
men ),
so that they may
fear You
and
walk in Your
ways all the days they live
in
the land
that You
gave
to our fathers.
so that they fear Thee,
to
walk in Thy
ways ,
all the days that
they are
living
on
the face
of
the
ground
that Thou
hast
given
to our fathers.
And as
for
the foreigner
who is not of Your
people Israel but
has
come from a distant
land because
of Your
great name and Your
mighty
hand and outstretched
arm —when
he
comes
and prays
toward
this temple,
`
And also,
unto
the stranger
who is not of Thy
people Israel ,
and
he
hath
come from a land afar
off
for
the
sake
of Thy
great name ,
and Thy
strong
hand ,
and Thy
stretched-out
arm ,
and they
have
come
in
and
prayed
towards
this house:
then may
You
hear from heaven
, Your
dwelling
place, and do
according to all for
which
the foreigner
calls
to
You.
Then
all the peoples of the earth will
know Your
name and
fear You
, as do
Your
people Israel, and they
will
know that this house I have built is
called
by
Your
Name
.
then Thou
dost
hear from the
heavens
, from
the
settled
place of
Thy
dwelling
, and hast
done
according to all that
the stranger
calleth
unto
Thee
for:
so
that
all the peoples of the earth do
know Thy
name ,
so
as
to
fear Thee
, as Thy
people Israel, and to
know that Thy
name
is
called
on
this house that
I have built.
When Your
people go to war
against their
enemies ,
wherever
You
send them, and when
they pray
to
You
in
the direction
of the
city You
have
chosen
and the house I have built for Your
Name ,
`
When Thy
people doth
go out
to battle
against its
enemies in
the
way
that
Thou
dost
send them, and they have
prayed
unto
Thee
the way
of this
city that
Thou
hast
fixed
on,
and the house that
I have built for Thy
name :
then may
You
hear
from heaven
their prayer and their plea
, and may
You
uphold
their cause.
then Thou
hast
heard
from the
heavens
their prayer and their supplication
, and hast
maintained
their cause.
When they sin against You—
for there is no
one
who does
not sin—
and You
become
angry with them and deliver
them to
an enemy who
takes
them as
captives
to
a land far or near ,
`
When they sin against Thee
--
for there is not
a
man
who sinneth
not --
and Thou
hast
been
angry with them ,
and hast
given
them before
an enemy ,
and
taken
them captive
have
their
captors,
unto
a land far off
or near ;
and when
they come
to
their senses
in the land to
which
they were
taken, and they
repent
and plead
with
You
in the land of their captors
, saying, ‘
We have sinned and
done
wrong;
we have acted
wickedly
, ’
and they have
turned
`it'
back
unto
their heart
in the land whither
they have
been
taken captive
, and have
turned
back,
and made
supplication
unto
Thee
in the land of their captivity
, saying, We have sinned ,
we have done
perversely
, and
have
done
wickedly;
and
when
they return
to
You
with all their heart and soul in the land of the
enemies
who
took
them captive, and when
they pray
in
the direction
of the
land that You
gave
to their fathers, the city You
have
chosen, and the house I have built for Your
Name ,
yea,
they have
turned
back
unto
Thee
with all their heart ,
and with
all
their
soul ,
in the land of their
captivity,
whither
they
have
taken
them captive, and they have
prayed
the way
of their
land that Thou
hast
given
to their fathers, and
of
the city that
Thou
hast
chosen, and of
the house that
I have built for Thy
name :
then may
You
hear
from heaven
, Your
dwelling
place, their prayer and petition
, and may
You
uphold
their cause .
May
You
forgive
Your
people who sinned against You
.
then Thou
hast
heard
from the
heavens
, from
the
settled
place of
Thy
dwelling
, their prayer and their
supplications
, and hast
maintained
their cause ,
and
forgiven
Thy
people who have
sinned against Thee
.
Now, my God, may
Your
eyes be open and Your
ears attentive to the prayer offered
in
this place .
`
Now, my God, let,
I
beseech
Thee,
Thine
eyes be open ,
and Thine
ears attentive ,
to the prayer of
this place :
Now therefore
, arise
, O LORD
God, and
enter
Your
resting
place
, You
and the ark of Your
might.
May
Your
priests, O LORD
God, be
clothed with salvation, and may
Your
godly
ones
rejoice in goodness .
and
now, rise
, O Jehovah
God, to
Thy
rest
, Thou,
and the ark of Thy
strength;
Thy
priests, O Jehovah
God, are
clothed with salvation, and Thy
saints
rejoice in the
goodness ,
O LORD
God, do
not reject
Your
anointed one.
Remember
Your
loving
devotion
to
Your
servant
David. ”
O Jehovah
God, turn
not back
the
face
of
Thine
anointed ,
be
mindful
of
the
kind
acts
of
David Thy
servant
. '
