역대하 6

1그 때에 솔로몬이 가로되 여호와께서 캄캄한데 계시겠다 말씀하셨사오나 2내가 주를 위하여 거할실 전을 건축하였사오니 주께서 영원히 거하실 처소로소이다 하고 3얼굴을 돌이켜 이스라엘의 온 회중을 위하여 축복하니 때에 이스라엘의 온 회중이 서 있더라 4왕이 가로되 이스라엘 하나님 여호와를 송축할지로다 여호와께서 그 입으로 나의 부친 다윗에게 말씀하신 것을 이제 그 손으로 이루셨도다 이르시기를 5내가 내 백성을 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 낸 날부터 내 이름을 둘 만한 집을 건축하기 위하여 이스라엘 모든 지파 가운데서 아무 성읍도 택하지 아니하였으며 내 백성 이스라엘의 주권자를 삼기 위하여 아무 사람도 택하지 아니하였더니 6예루살렘을 택하여 내 이름을 거기 두고 또 다윗을 택하여 내 백성 이스라엘을 다스리게 하였노라 하신지라 7내 부친 다윗이 이스라엘 하나님 여호와의 이름을 위하여 전을 건축할 마음이 있었더니 8여호와께서 내 부친 다윗에게 이르시되 네가 내 이름을 위하여 전을 건축할 마음이 있으니 이 마음이 네게 있는 것이 좋도다 9그러나 너는 그 전을 건축하지 못할 것이요 네 몸에서 낳을 네 아들 그가 내 이름을 위하여 전을 건축하리라 하시더니 10이제 여호와께서 말씀하신 대로 이루시도다 내가 여호와의 허하신 대로 내 부친 다윗을 대신하여 일어나서 이스라엘 위에 앉고 이스라엘 하나님 여호와의 이름을 위하여 전을 건축하고 11내가 또 그곳에 여호와께서 이스라엘 자손으로 더불어 세우신 언약 넣은 궤를 두었노라 12솔로몬이 여호와의 단 앞에서 이스라엘의 회중을 마주 서서 그 손을 펴니라 13솔로몬이 이왕에 놋으로 대를 만들었으니 장이 다섯 규빗이요 광이 다섯 규빗이요 고가 세 규빗이라 뜰 가운데 두었더니 저가 그 위에 서서 이스라엘의 회중 앞에서 무릎을 꿇고 하늘을 향하여 손을 펴고 14가로되 이스라엘 하나님 여호와여 천지에 주와 같은 신이 없나이다 주께서는 온 마음으로 주의 앞에서 행하는 주의 종들에게 언약을 지키시고 은혜를 베푸시나이다 15주께서 주의 종 내 아비 다윗에게 허하신 말씀을 지키시되 주의 입으로 말씀하신 것을 손으로 이루심이 오늘날과 같으니이다 16이스라엘 하나님 여호와여 주께서 주의 종 내 아비 다윗에게 말씀하시기를 네 자손이 자기 길을 삼가서 네가 내 앞에서 행한 것 같이 내 율법대로 행하기만 하면 네게로 좇아 나서 이스라엘 위에 앉을 사람이 내 앞에서 끊어지지 아니하리라 하셨사오니 이제 다윗을 위하여 그 허하신 말씀을 지키시옵소서 17그런즉 이스라엘 하나님 여호와여 원컨대 주는 주의 종 다윗에게 하신 말씀이 확실하게 하옵소서 18하나님이 참으로 사람과 함께 땅에 거하시리이까 하늘과 하늘들의 하늘이라도 주를 용납지 못하겠거든 하물며 내가 건축한 이 전이오리이까 19그러나 나의 하나님 여호와여 종의 기도와 간구를 돌아보시며 종이 주의 앞에서 부르짖음과 비는 기도를 들으시옵소서 20주께서 전에 말씀하시기를 내 이름을 거기 두리라 하신 곳 이 전을 향하여 주의 눈이 주야로 보옵시며 종이 이곳을 향하여 비는 기도를 들으시옵소서 21종과 주의 백성 이스라엘이 이곳을 향하여 기도할 때에 주는 그 간구함을 들으시되 주의 계신 곳 하늘에서 들으시고 들으시사 사하여 주옵소서 22만일 어떤 사람이 그 이웃에게 범죄하므로 맹세시킴을 받고 저가 와서 이 전에 있는 주의 단 앞에서 맹세하거든 23주는 하늘에서 들으시고 행하시되 주의 종들을 국문하사 악한 자의 죄를 정하여 그 행위대로 그 머리에 돌리시고 의로운 자를 의롭다 하사 그 의로운 대로 갚으시옵소서 24만일 주의 백성 이스라엘이 주께 범죄하여 적국 앞에 패하게 되므로 주께로 돌아와서 주의 이름을 인정하고 이 전에서 주께 빌며 간구하거든 25주는 하늘에서 들으시고 주의 백성 이스라엘의 죄를 사하시고 그와 그 열조에게 주신 땅으로 돌아오게 하옵소서 26만일 저희가 주께 범죄함을 인하여 하늘이 닫히고 비가 없어서 주의 벌을 받을 때에 이곳을 향하여 빌며 주의 이름을 인정하고 그 죄에서 떠나거든 27주는 하늘에서 들으사 주의 종들과 주의 백성 이스라엘의 죄를 사하시고 그 마땅히 행할 선한 길을 가르쳐 주옵시며 주의 백성에게 기업으로 주신 주의 땅에 비를 내리시옵소서 28만일 이 땅에 기근이나 온역이 있거나 곡식이 시들거나 깜부기가 나거나 메뚜기나 황충이 나거나 적국이 와서 성읍을 에워 싸거나 무슨 재앙이나 무슨 질병이 있든지 무론하고 29한 사람이나 혹 주의 온 백성 이스라엘이 다 각각 자기의 마음에 재앙과 고통을 깨닫고 이 전을 향하여 손을 펴고 무슨 기도나 무슨 간구를 하거든 30주는 계신 곳 하늘에서 들으시며 사유하시되 각 사람의 마음을 아시오니 그 모든 행위대로 갚으시옵소서 주만 홀로 인생의 마음을 아심이니이다 31그리하시면 저희가 주께서 우리 열조에게 주신 땅에서 사는 동안에 항상 주를 경외하며 주의 길로 행하리이다 32주의 백성 이스라엘에 속하지 않은 이방인에게 대하여도 저희가 주의 큰 이름과 능한 손과 펴신 팔을 위하여 먼 지방에서 와서 이 전을 향하여 기도하거든 33주는 계신 곳 하늘에서 들으시고 무릇 이방인이 주께 부르짖는 대로 이루사 땅의 만민으로 주의 이름을 알고 주의 백성 이스라엘처럼 경외하게 하옵시며 또 내가 건축한 이 전을 주의 이름으로 일컫는 줄을 알게 하옵소서 34주의 백성이 그 적국으로 더불어 싸우고자 하여 주의 보내신 길로 나갈 때에 저희가 주의 빼신 이 성과 내가 주의 이름을 위하여 건축한 전 있는 편을 향하여 여호와께 기도하거든 35주는 하늘에서 저희의 기도와 간구를 들으시고 그 일을 돌아 보옵소서 36범죄치 아니하는 사람이 없사오니 저희가 주께 범죄하므로 주께서 저희에게 진노하사 저희를 적국에게 붙이시매 적국이 저희를 사로잡아 땅의 원근을 물론하고 끌어간 후에 37저희가 사로잡혀 간 땅에서 스스로 깨닫고 그 사로잡은 자의 땅에서 돌이켜 주께 간구하기를 우리가 범죄하여 패역을 행하며 악을 지었나이다 하며 38자기를 사로잡아 간 적국의 땅에서 온 마음과 온 뜻으로 주께 돌아와서 주께서 그 열조에게 주신 땅과 주의 빼신 성과 내가 주의 이름을 위하여 건축한 전 있는 편을 향하여 기도하거든 39주는 계신 곳 하늘에서 저희의 기도와 간구를 들으시고 저희의 일을 돌아 보옵시며 주께 득죄한 주의 백성을 용서하옵소서 40나의 하나님이여 이제 이곳에서 하는 기도에 눈을 드시고 귀를 기울이소서 41여호와 하나님이여 일어나 들어가사 주의 능력의 궤와 함께 주의 평안한 처소에 계시옵소서 여호와 하나님이여 원컨대 주의 제사장으로 구원을 입게 하시고 또 주의 성도로 은혜를 기뻐하게 하옵소서 42여호와 하나님이여 주의 기름 부음 받은 자에게서 얼굴을 돌이키지 마옵시고 주의 종 다윗에게 베푸신 은총을 기억하옵소서

1Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 2But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever.” 3The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood. 4He 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, 5‘Since the day that I brought 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: 6but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’ 7Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. 8But 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: 9nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’ 10“Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place 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. 11There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with the children of Israel.” 12He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands 13(for Solomon had made a bronze 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 out his hands toward heaven;) 14and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart; 15who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day. 16“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.’ 17Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David. 18“But will God indeed 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! 19Yet have respect for 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; 20that 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; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place. 21Listen 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. 22“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; 23then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. 24“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; 25then 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. 26“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 afflict them: 27then 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. 28“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; 29whatever 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 out his hands toward this house: 30then 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;) 31that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers. 32“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: 33then 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. 34“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; 35then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 36“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; 37yet 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;’ 38if 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: 39then 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. 40“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. 41“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. 42“Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”

1Toen zeide Salomo: De HEERE heeft gezegd, dat Hij in de donkerheid zou wonen. 2En ik heb U een huis ter woonstede gebouwd, en een vaste plaats tot Uw eeuwige woning. 3Daarna wendde de koning zijn aangezicht om, en zegende de ganse gemeente van Israel; en de ganse gemeente van Israel stond. 4En hij zeide: Geloofd zij de HEERE, de God van Israel, Die met Zijn mond tot mijn vader David gesproken heeft, en heeft het met Zijn handen vervuld, zeggende: 5Van dien dag af, dat Ik Mijn volk uit Egypteland uitgevoerd heb, heb Ik geen stad verkoren uit alle stammen van Israel, om een huis te bouwen, dat Mijn Naam daar zou wezen; en geen man verkoren om een voorganger te zijn over Mijn volk Israel. 6Maar Ik heb Jeruzalem verkoren, dat Mijn Naam daar zou wezen; en Ik heb David verkoren, dat hij over Mijn volk Israel wezen zou. 7Het was ook in het hart van mijn vader David, een huis te bouwen den Naam des HEEREN, des Gods van Israel. 8Maar de HEERE zeide tot mijn vader David: Dewijl dat in uw hart geweest is, Mijn Naam een huis te bouwen, gij hebt welgedaan, dat het in uw hart geweest is. 9Evenwel, gij zult dat huis niet bouwen, maar uw zoon, die uit uw lenden voortkomen zal, die zal Mijn Naam dat huis bouwen. 10Zo heeft de HEERE Zijn woord bevestigd, dat Hij gesproken had; want ik ben opgestaan in de plaats van mijn vader David, en ik zit op den troon van Israel, gelijk als de HEERE gesproken heeft; en ik heb een huis gebouwd den Naam des HEEREN, des Gods van Israel. 11En ik heb daar de ark gesteld, waarin het verbond des HEEREN is, hetwelk Hij maakte met de kinderen Israels. 12En hij stond voor het altaar des HEEREN, tegenover de ganse gemeente van Israel; en hij breidde zijn handen uit; 13(Want Salomo had een koperen gestoelte gemaakt, en had het gesteld in het midden des voorhofs; zijnde vijf ellen in zijn lengte en vijf ellen in zijn breedte, en drie ellen in zijn hoogte; en hij stond daarop, en knielde op zijn knieen voor de ganse gemeente van Israel, en breidde zijn handen uit naar den hemel.) 14En hij zeide: HEERE, God van Israel, er is geen God gelijk Gij, in den hemel noch op de aarde, houdende het verbond en de weldadigheid aan Uw knechten, die voor Uw aangezicht met hun ganse hart wandelen; 15Die Uw knecht, mijn vader David, gehouden hebt, wat Gij tot hem gesproken hadt; want met Uw mond hebt Gij gesproken, en met Uw hand vervuld, gelijk het te dezen dage is. 16En nu, HEERE, God van Israel, houd Uw knecht, mijn vader David, wat Gij tot hem gesproken hebt, zeggende: Geen man zal u van voor Mijn aangezicht afgesneden worden, die zitte op den troon van Israel; alleenlijk zo uw zonen hun weg bewaren, om te wandelen in Mijn wet, gelijk als gij gewandeld hebt voor Mijn aangezicht. 17Nu dan, o HEERE, God van Israel! Laat Uw woord waar worden, hetwelk Gij gesproken hebt tot Uw knecht, tot David. 18Maar waarlijk, zou God bij de mensen op de aarde wonen? Ziet de hemelen, ja, de hemel der hemelen, zouden U niet begrijpen, hoeveel te min dit huis, dat ik gebouwd heb? 19Wend U dan nog tot het gebed Uws knechts, en tot zijn smeking, o HEERE, mijn God, om te horen naar het geroep en naar het gebed, dat Uw knecht voor Uw aangezicht bidt. 20Dat Uw ogen open zijn, dag en nacht, over dit huis, over de plaats, van dewelke Gij gezegd hebt, Uw Naam daar te zullen zetten; om te horen naar het gebed, hetwelk Uw knecht bidden zal in deze plaats. 21Hoor dan naar de smekingen van Uw knecht, en van Uw volk Israel, die in deze plaats zullen bidden; en hoor Gij uit de plaats Uwer woning, uit den hemel, ja, hoor, en vergeef. 22Wanneer iemand tegen zijn naaste zal gezondigd hebben, en die hem een eed des vloeks opgelegd zal hebben, om zichzelven te vervloeken, en de eed des vloeks voor Uw altaar in dit huis komen zal; 23Hoor Gij dan uit den hemel, en doe, en richt Uw knechten, vergeldende den goddeloze, gevende zijn weg op zijn hoofd, en rechtvaardigende den rechtvaardige, gevende hem naar zijn gerechtigheid. 24Wanneer ook Uw volk Israel voor het aangezicht des vijands zal geslagen worden, omdat zij tegen U gezondigd zullen hebben, en zich bekeren, en Uw Naam belijden, en voor Uw aangezicht in dit huis bidden en smeken zullen, 25Hoor Gij dan uit den hemel, en vergeef de zonden van Uw volk Israel, en breng hen weder in het land, dat Gij hun en hun vaderen gegeven hebt. 26Als de hemel zal gesloten zijn, dat er geen regen is, omdat zij tegen U gezondigd zullen hebben; en zij in deze plaats bidden, en Uw Naam belijden, en van hun zonden zich bekeren zullen, als Gij hen geplaagd zult hebben; 27Hoor Gij dan in den hemel, en vergeef de zonden Uwer knechten en van Uw volk Israel, als Gij hun zult geleerd hebben den goeden weg, in denwelken zij wandelen zullen; en geef regen op Uw land, dat Gij Uw volk tot een erfenis gegeven hebt. 28Als er honger in het land wezen zal, als er pest wezen zal, als er brandkoren of honigdauw, sprinkhanen en kevers wezen zullen, als iemand van zijn vijanden in het land zijner poorten hem belegeren zal, of enige plage, of enige krankheid wezen zal; 29Alle gebed, alle smeking, die van enig mens, of van al Uw volk Israel geschieden zal, als zij erkennen, een ieder zijn plage en zijn smarte, en een ieder zijn handen in dit huis uitbreiden zal; 30Hoor Gij dan uit den hemel, de vaste plaats Uwer woning, en vergeef, en geef een iegelijk naar al zijn wegen, gelijk Gij zijn hart kent; want Gij alleen kent het hart van de kinderen der mensen. 31Opdat zij U vrezen, om te wandelen in Uw wegen, al de dagen, die zij leven zullen op het land, dat Gij onzen vaderen gegeven hebt. 32Zelfs ook aangaande den vreemde, die van Uw volk Israel niet zijn zal, maar uit verren lande, om Uws groten Naams, en Uwer sterke hand, en Uws uitgestrekten arms wil, komen zal; als zij komen, en bidden zullen in dit huis; 33Hoor Gij dan uit den hemel, uit de vaste plaats Uwer woning, en doe naar alles, waarom die vreemde tot U roepen zal; opdat alle volken der aarde Uw Naam kennen, zo om U te vrezen, gelijk Uw volk Israel, als om te weten, dat Uw Naam genoemd wordt over dit huis, hetwelk ik gebouwd heb. 34Wanneer Uw volk in den krijg tegen zijn vijanden uittrekken zal door den weg, dien Gij hen heenzenden zult, en zullen tot U bidden naar den weg dezer stad, die Gij verkoren hebt, en naar dit huis, hetwelk ik Uw Naam gebouwd heb; 35Hoor dan uit den hemel hun gebed en hun smeking, en voer hun recht uit. 36Wanneer zij gezondigd zullen hebben tegen U (want geen mens is er, die niet zondigt), en Gij tegen hen vertoornd zult zijn, en hen leveren zult voor het aangezicht des vijands, dat degenen, die hen gevangen hebben, hen gevankelijk wegvoeren in een land, dat verre of nabij is; 37En zij in het land, waar zij gevankelijk weggevoerd zijn, weder aan hun hart brengen zullen, dat zij zich bekeren, en tot U smeken in het land hunner gevangenis, zeggende: Wij hebben gezondigd, verkeerdelijk gedaan, en goddelooslijk gehandeld; 38En zij zich tot U bekeren, met hun ganse hart en met hun ganse ziel, in het land hunner gevangenis, waar zij hen gevankelijk weggevoerd hebben, en bidden zullen naar den weg huns lands, dat Gij hun vaderen gegeven hebt, en naar deze stad, die Gij verkoren hebt, en naar dit huis, dat ik Uw Naam gebouwd heb; 39Hoor dan uit den hemel, uit de vaste plaats Uwer woning, hun gebed en hun smekingen, en voer hun recht uit, en vergeef Uw volk, wat zij tegen U gezondigd zullen hebben. 40Nu, mijn God, laat toch Uw ogen open en Uw oren opmerkende zijn tot het gebed dezer plaats. 41En nu, HEERE God, maak U op tot Uw rust, Gij en de ark Uwer kracht; laat Uw priesters, HEERE God, met heil bekleed worden, en laat Uw gunstgenoten over het goede blijde zijn. 42O HEERE God! wend het aangezicht Uws gezalfden niet af; gedenk der weldadigheden van David, Uw knecht.
