约柜运进圣殿

¹那时，所罗门将以色列的长老和各支派的首领，并以色列的族长，招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城—就是锡安—运上来。At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

²以他念月，就是七月，在节前，以色列人都聚集到所罗门王那里。And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.

³以色列长老来到，祭司便抬起约柜，When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,

⁴祭司和利未人将耶和华的约柜运上来，又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来。and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.

⁵所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众，一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭，多得不可胜数。There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

⁶祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

⁷基路伯张着翅膀在约柜之上，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

⁸这杠甚长，杠头在内殿前的圣所可以看见，在殿外却不能看见，直到如今还在那里。The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

⁹约柜里惟有两块石版，就是以色列人出埃及地后，耶和华与他们立约的时候摩西在何烈山所放的。除此以外，并无别物。There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.

耶和华的荣光充满殿

¹⁰祭司从圣所出来的时候，有云充满耶和华的殿；And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD

¹¹甚至祭司不能站立供职，因为耶和华的荣光充满了殿。so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

¹²那时所罗门说：耶和华曾说，他必住在幽暗之处。Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

¹³我已经建造殿宇作你的居所，为你永远的住处。I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”

所罗门说明建殿的由来

¹⁴王转脸为以色列会众祝福，以色列会众就都站立。And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

¹⁵所罗门说：“耶和华—以色列的　神是应当称颂的！因他亲口向我父大卫所应许的，也亲手成就了。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,

¹⁶他说：‘自从我领我民以色列出埃及以来，我未曾在以色列各支派中选择一城建造殿宇—为我名的居所，但拣选大卫治理我民以色列。’”‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out 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. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’

¹⁷所罗门说：“我父大卫曾立意，要为耶和华—以色列　神的名建殿。Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

¹⁸耶和华却对我父大卫说：‘你立意为我的名建殿，这意思甚好。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.

¹⁹只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿。’Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’

²⁰现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话，使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位，又为耶和华—以色列　神的名建造了殿。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.

²¹我也在其中为约柜预备一处。约柜内有耶和华的约，就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候，与他们所立的约。”And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

所罗门的祷告

²²所罗门当着以色列会众，站在耶和华的坛前，向天举手说：Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,

²³“耶和华—以色列的　神啊，天上地下没有神可比你的！你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱；and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

²⁴向你仆人—我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了。你亲口应许，亲手成就，正如今日一样。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.

²⁵耶和华—以色列的　神啊，你所应许你仆人—我父大卫的话说：‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，在我面前行事像你所行的一样，就不断人坐以色列的国位。’现在求你应验这话。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 before Me as you have done.’

²⁶以色列的　神啊，求你成就向你仆人—我父大卫所应许的话。And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.

神岂真住在地上

²⁷“　神果真住在地上吗？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢？But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.

²⁸惟求耶和华—我的　神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求，俯听仆人今日在你面前的祈祷呼吁。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 today.

²⁹愿你昼夜看顾这殿，就是你应许立为你名的居所；求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话。May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

奉献圣殿与守节

⁶²王和以色列众民一同在耶和华面前献祭。Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.

⁶³所罗门向耶和华献平安祭，用牛二万二千，羊十二万。这样，王和以色列众民为耶和华的殿行奉献之礼。And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.

⁶⁴当日，王因耶和华殿前的铜坛太小，容不下燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油，便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣，在那里献燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油。On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.

⁶⁵那时，所罗门和以色列众人，就是从哈马口直到埃及小河所有的以色列人，都聚集成为大会，在耶和华—我们的　神面前守节七日又七日，共十四日。So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast before the LORD our God for seven days and seven more days—fourteen days in all.

⁶⁶第八日，王遣散众民；他们都为王祝福。因见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他民以色列所施的一切恩惠，就都心中喜乐，各归各家去了。On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.

我父做事，我也做事

¹⁷耶稣就对他们说：“我父做事直到如今，我也做事。”But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

¹⁸所以犹太人越发想要杀他；因他不但犯了安息日，并且称　神为他的父，将自己和　神当作平等。Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

子与父同工

¹⁹耶稣对他们说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，子凭着自己不能做什么，惟有看见父所做的，子才能做；父所做的事，子也照样做。So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

²⁰父爱子，将自己所做的一切事指给他看，还要将比这更大的事指给他看，叫你们希奇。The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

²¹父怎样叫死人起来，使他们活着，子也照样随自己的意思使人活着。For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

²²父不审判什么人，乃将审判的事全交与子，Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

²³叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬差子来的父。so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

出死入生

²⁴我实实在在地告诉你们，那听我话、又信差我来者的，就有永生；不至于定罪，是已经出死入生了。Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

²⁵我实实在在地告诉你们，时候将到，现在就是了，死人要听见　神儿子的声音，听见的人就要活了。Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

²⁶因为父怎样在自己有生命，就赐给他儿子也照样在自己有生命，For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

²⁷并且因为他是人子，就赐给他行审判的权柄。And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

²⁸你们不要把这事看作希奇。时候要到，凡在坟墓里的，都要听见他的声音，就出来：Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

²⁹行善的，复活得生；作恶的，复活定罪。and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

³⁰“我凭着自己不能做什么，我怎么听见就怎么审判。我的审判也是公平的；因为我不求自己的意思，只求那差我来者的意思。”I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

为耶稣作的见证

³¹“我若为自己作见证，我的见证就不真。If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

³²另有一位给我作见证，我也知道他给我作的见证是真的。There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

³³你们曾差人到约翰那里，他为真理作过见证。You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

³⁴其实，我所受的见证不是从人来的；然而，我说这些话，为要叫你们得救。Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

³⁵约翰是点着的明灯，你们情愿暂时喜欢他的光。John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

³⁶但我有比约翰更大的见证；因为父交给我要我成就的事，就是我所做的事，这便见证我是父所差来的。But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

³⁷差我来的父也为我作过见证。你们从来没有听见他的声音，也没有看见他的形象。And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

³⁸你们并没有他的道存在心里；因为他所差来的，你们不信。nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

³⁹你们查考圣经（或译：应当查考圣经），因你们以为内中有永生；给我作见证的就是这经。You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

⁴⁰然而，你们不肯到我这里来得生命。yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

不求从神来的荣耀

⁴¹“我不受从人来的荣耀。I do not accept glory from men,

⁴²但我知道，你们心里没有　神的爱。but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

⁴³我奉我父的名来，你们并不接待我；若有别人奉自己的名来，你们倒要接待他。I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.

⁴⁴你们互相受荣耀，却不求从独一之　神来的荣耀，怎能信我呢？How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

摩西要告你们

⁴⁵不要想我在父面前要告你们；有一位告你们的，就是你们所仰赖的摩西。Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

⁴⁶你们如果信摩西，也必信我，因为他书上有指着我写的话。If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

⁴⁷你们若不信他的书，怎能信我的话呢？”But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
