Then spoke
Solomon ,
Yahweh
has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Then Solomon declared:
“The
LORD
has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud;
But
I have built you a
house of
habitation
, and
a place for you to dwell in
forever.
and
I have built You an
exalted
house, a place for You to dwell forever. ”
The
king
turned
his
face,
and blessed
all
the assembly of Israel :
and all the
assembly
of
Israel
stood.
And as
the whole
assembly of Israel stood
there,
the
king
turned
around
and blessed
them
all
He
said ,
Blessed be Yahweh
, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David
my father ,
and
has
with
his
hands
fulfilled
it
, saying,
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,
Since the day that
I brought forth
my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose
no
city out
of
all
the
tribes
of Israel to build a house in,
that my name might
be there ;
neither
chose
I any
man
to be prince
over my people Israel :
‘
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 .
but I have chosen Jerusalem ,
that
my name might
be there ;
and have chosen David to be 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. ’
Now it was in the heart of David
my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh
, the God of 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.
But Yahweh
said to David
my father, Whereas
it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did
well that
it
was
in your heart :
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 .
nevertheless you shall
not build
the house
; but your son who
shall
come
forth
out
of
your loins
, he
shall
build the house for my name.
Nevertheless ,
you are
not the one
to
build
it
; but your son ,
your own
offspring
, will
build the house for My Name. ’
Yahweh
has performed
his
word that he spoke ;
for
I am
risen
up
in
the
room
of
David
my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh
promised ,
and
have built the house for the name of Yahweh
, the God of Israel.
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.
There have
I set
the ark, in
which is
the covenant of Yahweh,
which
he made with the children 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. ”
He
stood before the altar of Yahweh
in
the presence
of all
the assembly of Israel ,
and spread forth
his hands
Then
Solomon
stood before the altar of the LORD
in
front
of the whole
assembly of Israel and spread out
his hands .
(for
Solomon had made a brazen
scaffold,
five cubits long, and
five cubits broad
, and three cubits high, and had set
it in the midst
of the court;
and
on
it
he stood, and
kneeled
down on
his
knees
before all
the assembly of Israel, and
spread forth
his hands toward heaven ;)
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 ,
and he
said ,
Yahweh
, the
God of Israel, there is no God like you ,
in heaven ,
or on earth ;
who
keep
covenant and
loving kindness
with your servants ,
who walk before you with all their heart;
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.
who
have kept with
your servant David
my father that
which
you
did
promise
him:
yes,
you spoke with your mouth ,
and
have fulfilled it
with your hand ,
as
it
is
this day.
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.
Now
therefore, Yahweh
, the
God of Israel, keep with
your servant David
my father that
which
you have
promised him,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail
you a man in
my
sight
to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children
take
heed
to
their way ,
to walk in my law as you have walked before me.
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. ’
Now therefore
, Yahweh
, the
God of Israel, let
your
word
be
verified,
which
you spoke
to your servant David.
And
now, O
LORD
, God of Israel, please
confirm
what
You promised
to Your servant David.
But will God in
very
deed
dwell with men
on
the earth? behold,
heaven and
the heaven of
heavens
can't
contain you ;
how
much less this house
which
I have built !
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 .
Yet have
you
respect
to
the prayer of your servant, and
to
his
supplication,
Yahweh
my God, to
listen
to
the cry and to
the prayer which
your servant prays
before you ;
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 .
that
your eyes may
be open toward this house
day and night, even
toward the place where you have
said that
you would put your name there;
to
listen
to
the prayer which
your servant shall
pray
toward this place.
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.
Listen
you
to
the petitions
of your servant ,
and of your people Israel ,
when they shall
pray toward this place :
yes,
hear from your dwelling -
place ,
even
from
heaven;
and
when
you hear ,
forgive.
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 .

You hear and
forgive.
If
a man sin
against his neighbor ,
and an
oath
is laid
on
him
to
cause
him
to swear
, and he comes and
swears
before your altar in this house;
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,
then hear from heaven ,
and do,
and
judge your servants, requiting
the wicked ,
to
bring
his
way
on his own head ;
and justifying the righteous ,
to
give
him according to his righteousness.
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.
If
your people Israel be
struck
down
before the
enemy ,
because they have sinned against you, and shall
turn
again
and confess your name, and
pray
and make
supplication
before you in this house;
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,
then hear from heaven ,
and forgive the sin of your people Israel ,
and
bring
them again
to the land which
you gave to them and to
their fathers.
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.
When the sky
is
shut up,
and there is no rain ,
because they
have sinned against you ;
if
they pray toward this place ,
and confess your name, and turn from their sin,
when
you do
afflict
them :
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 ,
then hear in
heaven ,
and forgive the sin of your servants, and
of
your people Israel, when
you teach them the good way in which they should walk ;
and
send rain on your
land ,
which
you have
given
to
your people for
an inheritance.
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.
If
there
be
in
the land famine
, if
there
be
pestilence,
if
there
be
blasting
or mildew, locust
or caterpillar;
if
their enemies besiege them in the
land
of
their cities ;
whatever plague or whatever
sickness there
be;

famine
or
plague
comes
upon
the land, or blight
or
mildew or
locusts

come,
whatever prayer and
supplication
be
made
by
any
man,
or by
all
your people Israel ,
who
shall
know
every
man
his
own
plague
and
his own sorrow,
and shall
spread
forth
his hands toward this house:
then
may
whatever prayer or petition
Your people Israel make—each
knowing
his own afflictions
and spreading
out
his hands toward this temple—
then
hear
from heaven, your dwelling -
place and forgive ,
and render
to
every
man according to all his ways, whose
heart
you know ;
(
for you ,
even
you
only,
know the hearts of the
children
of
men ;)
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 —
that they may fear you ,
to
walk in your ways ,
so
long
as
they live in the land which
you gave to our fathers.

that they may fear You and
walk in Your ways all
the
days

Moreover
concerning
the foreigner ,
who is not of your people Israel ,
when
he
shall
come from a far
country
for
your great name's
sake,
and your mighty hand ,
and your
outstretched arm ;
when they
shall
come
and pray
toward this house:

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,
then hear from heaven, even
from
your dwelling -
place, and do according to all that
the foreigner calls to you for;
that
all the peoples of the earth may
know your name ,
and fear you, as does
your people Israel, and that
they may
know that this house which
I have built is called by your name.
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.
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 which
you have chosen ,
and the house which
I have built for your name ;
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 ,
then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication
, and maintain
their cause.
then may
You
hear from heaven their prayer and their plea
, and may
You
uphold
their cause.
If
they sin against you (
for there is no man
who doesn't
sin ),
and you are
angry with them ,
and deliver them to the
enemy ,
so
that
they
carry
them away
captive
to a land far off
or near ;
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 ,
yet
if
they shall
repent
themselves
in the land where
they are
carried
captive
, and turn
again,
and make
supplication
to
you in the land of their captivity
, saying, We have sinned ,
we
have
done
perversely,
and have dealt
wickedly ;
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 ,’
if
they return to you with all their heart and with
all
their
soul in the land of their
captivity,
where
they
have
carried
them captive, and pray toward
their
land ,
which
you gave to their fathers, and
the city which
you have chosen, and toward
the house which
I have built for your name :
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 ,
then hear from heaven, even
from
your dwelling -
place, their prayer and their
petitions
, and maintain
their cause ,
and
forgive your people who have
sinned against you.
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.
Now, my God, let,
I
beg
you,
your eyes be open ,
and let
your ears be
attentive ,
to the prayer that
is
made
in this place.
Now, my God, may
Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered
in this place.
Now therefore arise, Yahweh
God, into
your resting -
place, you ,
and the ark of your strength:
let
your priests, Yahweh
God, be clothed with salvation, and let
your saints
rejoice in goodness.
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.
Yahweh
God, don't
turn
away
the
face
of
your anointed :
remember [
your ]
loving kindnesses
to David
your servant.
O
LORD
God, do
not
reject
Your anointed one.
Remember Your loving devotion
to Your servant David
. ”
