代下6:1 那时所罗门说：“耶和华曾说他要住在幽暗之中。
代下6:1 Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men,
代下6:2 我已经为你建造了巍峨的殿宇，作你永远居住的地方。”
代下6:2 So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.
代下6:3 然后王转过来，给以色列全体会众祝福，以色列全体会众都站着。
代下6:3 Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.
代下6:4 所罗门说：“耶和华以色列的 神是应当称颂的！他亲口对我的父亲大卫应许的，已亲手作成了，他说：
代下6:4 And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,
代下6:5 ‘自从我领我的子民从埃及地出来的那天，我没有在以色列众支派中，拣选一座城建造殿宇，使我的名留在那里；我也没有拣选一个人作领袖，统治我的子民以色列。
代下6:5 From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;
代下6:6 我却拣选了耶路撒冷，使我的名留在那里；也拣选了大卫，统治我的子民以色列。’
代下6:6 But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.
代下6:7 我的父亲大卫有心要为耶和华以色列的 神的名建造殿宇。
代下6:7 Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
代下6:8 耶和华却对我的父亲大卫说：‘你心想要为我的名建造殿宇，你心意很好；
代下6:8 But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:
代下6:9 不过不是由你建造殿宇，而是你的儿子，你亲生的儿子，他必为我的名建殿。’
代下6:9 But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.
代下6:10 现在耶和华实现了他的应许，我已经起来接续我的父亲大卫，坐上了以色列的王位，就像耶和华所说的；我为耶和华以色列的 神的名建造了这殿。
代下6:10 And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
代下6:11 我也把约柜安放在殿里，约柜中有耶和华和以色列人所立的约。”
代下6:11 And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.
代下6:12 所罗门在以色列全体会众面前，站在耶和华的祭坛前，张开双手；
代下6:12 Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,
代下6:13 原来所罗门做了一座铜台，长两公尺两公寸，宽两公尺两公寸，高一公尺三公寸，安放在外院中。那时他站在铜台上，在以色列全体会众面前，屈膝下跪，向天张开双手，
代下6:13 (For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)
代下6:14 说：“耶和华以色列的 神啊，天上地下没有神可以和你相比的，你向那些一心行在你面前的仆人，常是守约施慈爱的；
代下6:14 And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;
代下6:15 你对你的仆人我父亲大卫所应许的，你都遵守了，你亲口应许，也亲手成全，就像今日一样。
代下6:15 For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.
代下6:16 耶和华以色列的 神啊，你应许你的仆人我父亲大卫说：‘只要你的子孙谨守他们的行为，遵守我的律法，像你在我面前所行的一样，你就不会断人在我面前坐上以色列的王位。’现在求你应验这话吧。
代下6:16 So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.
代下6:17 耶和华以色列的 神啊，现在求你实现你向你的仆人大卫应许的话吧！
代下6:17 So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.
代下6:18 “ 神真的要和人住在地上吗？看哪，天和天上的天也容不下你，何况我建造的这殿呢？
代下6:18 But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:
代下6:19 耶和华我的 神啊，求你垂注你仆人的祷告和祈求，聆听你仆人在你面前所发的呼喊和祷告。
代下6:19 Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant and to his prayer for grace, O Lord my God, and give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant makes before you;
代下6:20 求你张开眼睛，昼夜看顾这殿，就是看顾你所说要立你名的地方；求你垂听你仆人向着这地方所发的祷告。
代下6:20 That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.
代下6:21 求你垂听你的仆人和你的子民以色列的祈求，就是他们向着这地方所发的祷告；求你从天上，从你的居所垂听，垂听和赦免。
代下6:21 And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.
代下6:22 “人若是得罪了邻舍，有人要他起誓，他就来到这殿，在你的祭坛前起誓；
代下6:22 If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:
代下6:23 求你从天上垂听，施行你的作为，审判你的仆人，照着恶人所行的报应在他头上；宣告义人无罪，照着他的义行赏赐他。
代下6:23 Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.
代下6:24 “如果你的子民以色列得罪了你，以致在仇敌面前被击败；后来回心转意，承认你的名，在这殿里向你祷告祈求，
代下6:24 And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:
代下6:25 求你从天上垂听，赦免你子民以色列的罪，领他们归回你赐给他们和他们列祖的土地。
代下6:25 Then give ear from heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
代下6:26 “你的子民因得罪了你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨；如果他们向着这地方祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪，
代下6:26 When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:
代下6:27 求你在天上垂听，赦免你的仆人和你的子民以色列的罪，把他们当行的正道指教他们，降雨在你的地上，就是你赐给你的子民作产业的地上。
代下6:27 Then give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.
代下6:28 “国中若是有饥荒、瘟疫、旱风、霉烂、蝗虫、蚂蚱，或是有仇敌围困城镇，或是有什么灾祸，什么疾病，
代下6:28 If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:
代下6:29 你的子民以色列，无论是个别或是全体，自知自己的灾祸和痛苦，向着这殿张开双手祷告或祈求，
代下6:29 Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:
代下6:30 求你从天上你的居所垂听和赦免他们，你是知道人心的，你必照着各人所行的报应各人；因为只有你知道世人的心。
代下6:30 Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men;)
代下6:31 使他们在你赐给我们列祖的地上，一生一世敬畏你，遵行你的道路。
代下6:31 So that they may give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which you gave to our fathers.
代下6:32 “至于在你的子民以色列以外的外族人，他们为了你的大名、你大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，从远方而来；他们来向着这殿祷告的时候，
代下6:32 And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:
代下6:33 求你从天上，从你的居所垂听他们，照着外族人向你呼求的一切而行，使地上万民都认识你的名，敬畏你，像你的子民以色列一样；又使他们知道我建造的这殿，是奉为你名的所在。
代下6:33 Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.
代下6:34 “如果你的子民在你派他们出去的路上，和仇敌作战，他们向着你拣选的这城，和向着我为你的名建造的这殿向你祷告，
代下6:34 If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up for your name:
代下6:35 求你从天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。
代下6:35 Then give ear from heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.
代下6:36 “如果你的子民得罪了你（因为世上没有不犯罪的人），你向他们发怒，把他们交在仇敌面前，以致仇敌把他们掳到外地或远或近；
代下6:36 If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off or near;
代下6:37 如果他们在被掳去的地方回心转意，在被掳去的地方祈求你说：‘我们犯了罪了，我们作了孽了，我们行了恶了。’
代下6:37 And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;
代下6:38 如果他们在被掳去的地方一心一意归向你，又向着他们自己的地，就是你赐给他们列祖的地，和向着你拣选的这城，以及向着我为你的名建造的这殿祷告，
代下6:38 If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:
代下6:39 求你从天上，从你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤，赦免得罪了你的那些子民。
代下6:39 Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.
代下6:40 “我的 神啊，现在求你张开眼睛，求你的耳朵垂听在这地方献上的祷告。
代下6:40 Now, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made in this place.
代下6:41 现在，耶和华 神啊，求你起来，愿你和你有大能的约柜进入你安息的地方；耶和华 神啊，愿你的祭司都披上救恩；愿你的圣民在福乐中欢欣。
代下6:41 Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.
代下6:42 耶和华 神啊，求你不要转脸不顾你所膏的人：愿你记念你向你仆人大卫所施的慈爱。”
代下6:42 O Lord God, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.
