1所羅門祈禱已畢,就有火從天上降下來,燒盡燔祭和別的祭。耶和華的榮光充滿了殿;When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

2因耶和華的榮光充滿了耶和華殿,所以祭司不能進殿。The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.

3那火降下、耶和華的榮光在殿上的時候,以色列眾人看見,就在鋪石地俯伏叩拜,稱謝耶和華說:耶和華本為善,他的慈愛永遠長存!When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”

4王和眾民在耶和華面前獻祭。Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

5所羅門王用牛二萬二千,羊十二萬獻祭。這樣,王和眾民為 神的殿行奉獻之禮。And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6祭司侍立,各供其職;利未人也拿著耶和華的樂器,就是大衛王造出來、藉利未人頌讚耶和華的。(他的慈愛永遠長存!)祭司在眾人面前吹號,以色列人都站立。The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.

7所羅門因他所造的銅壇容不下燔祭、素祭,和脂油,便將耶和華殿前院子當中分別為聖,在那裡獻燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not hold all these offerings.

8那時所羅門和以色列眾人,就是從直到,所有的以色列人都聚集成為大會,守節七日。So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.

9第八日設立,行奉獻壇的禮七日,守節七日。On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.

10七月二十三日,王遣散眾民;他們因見耶和華向大衛和所羅門與他民以色列所施的恩惠,就都心中喜樂,各歸各家去了。On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.

11所羅門造成了耶和華殿和王宮;在耶和華殿和王宮凡他心中所要做的,都順順利利地做成了。When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,

12夜間耶和華向所羅門顯現,對他說:「我已聽了你的禱告,也選擇這地方作為祭祀我的殿宇。the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

13我若使天閉塞不下雨,或使蝗蟲吃這地的出產,或使瘟疫流行在我民中,If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

14這稱為我名下的子民,若是、禱告,尋求我的面,轉離他們的惡行,我必從天上垂聽,赦免他們的罪,醫治他們的地。and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

15我必睜眼看、側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

16現在我已選擇這殿,分別為聖,使我的名永在其中,我的眼、我的心也必常在那裡。For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.

17你若在我面前效法你父大衛所行的,遵行我一切所吩咐你的,謹守我的律例典章,And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,

18我就必堅固你的國位,正如我與你父大衛所立的約,說:『你的子孫必不斷人作以色列的王。』then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’

19「倘若你們轉去丟棄我指示你們的律例誡命,去事奉敬拜別神,But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,

20我就必將以色列人從我賜給他們的地上拔出根來,並且我為己名所分別為聖的殿也必捨棄不顧,使他在萬民中作,被譏誚。then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

21這殿雖然甚高,將來經過的人必驚訝說:『耶和華為何向這地和這殿如此行呢?』And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

22人必回答說:『是因此地的人離棄耶和華─他們列祖的 神,就是領他們出埃及地的 神,去親近別神,敬拜事奉他,所以耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們。』」And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
