역대하 7

1솔로몬이 기도를 마치매 불이 하늘에서부터 내려와서 그 번제물과 제물들을 사르고 여호와의 영광이 그 전에 가득하니 2여호와의 영광이 여호와의 전에 가득하므로 제사장이 그 전에 능히 들어가지 못하였고 3이스라엘 모든 자손은 불이 내리는 것과 여호와의 영광이 전에 있는 것을 보고 박석 깐 땅에 엎드려 경배하며 여호와께 감사하여 가로되 선하시도다 그 인자하심이 영원하도다 하니라 4이에 왕과 모든 백성이 여호와 앞에 제사를 드리니 5솔로몬 왕의 드린 제물이 소가 이만 이천이요 양이 십이만이라 이와 같이 왕과 모든 백성이 하나님의 전의 낙성식을 행하니라 6때에 제사장들은 직분대로 모셔 서고 레위 사람도 여호와의 악기를 가지고 섰으니 이 악기는 전에 다윗 왕이 레위 사람으로 여호와를 찬송하려고 만들어서 여호와의 인자하심이 영원함을 감사케 하던 것이라 제사장은 무리 앞에서 나팔을 불고 온 이스라엘은 섰더라 7솔로몬이 또 여호와의 전 앞뜰 가운데를 거룩히 구별하고 거기서 번제물과 화목제의 기름을 드렸으니 이는 솔로몬의 지은 놋단이 능히 그 번제물과 소제물과 기름을 용납할 수 없음이더라 8그 때에 솔로몬이 칠 일 동안 절기를 지켰는데 하맛 어귀에서부터 애굽 하수까지의 온 이스라엘의 심히 큰 회중이 모여 저와 함께 하였더니 9제팔일에 무리가 한 성회를 여니라 단의 낙성식을 칠 일 동안 행한 후 이 절기를 칠 일 동안 지키니라 10칠월 이십삼일에 왕이 백성을 그 장막으로 돌려 보내매 백성이 여호와께서 다윗과 솔로몬과 그 백성 이스라엘에게 베푸신 은혜를 인하여 기뻐하며 마음에 즐거워하였더라 11솔로몬이 여호와의 전과 왕궁을 필역하고 무릇 그 심중에 여호와의 전과 자기의 궁궐에 어떻게 만들고자 한 것을 다 형통하게 이루니라 12밤에 여호와께서 솔로몬에게 나타나사 이르시되 내가 이미 네 기도를 듣고 이 곳을 택하여 내게 제사하는 전을 삼았으니 13혹 내가 하늘을 닫고 비를 내리지 아니하거나 혹 메뚜기로 토산을 먹게 하거나 혹 염병으로 내 백성 가운데 유행하게 할 때에 14내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 겸비하고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 구하면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그 죄를 사하고 그 땅을 고칠지라 15이 곳에서 하는 기도에 내가 눈을 들고 귀를 기울이리니 16이는 내가 이미 이 전을 택하고 거룩하게 하여 내 이름으로 여기 영영히 있게 하였음이라 내 눈과 내 마음이 항상 여기 있으리라 17네가 만일 내 앞에서 행하기를 네 아비 다윗 같이 하여 내가 네게 명한 모든 것을 행하여 내 율례와 규례를 지키면 18내가 네 나라 위를 견고케 하되 전에 내가 네 아비 다윗과 언약하기를 이스라엘을 다스릴 자가 네게서 끊어지지 아니하리라 한 대로 하리라 19그러나 너희가 만일 돌이켜 내가 너희 앞에 둔 내 율례와 명령을 버리고 가서 다른 신을 섬겨 숭배하면 20내가 저희에게 준 땅에서 그 뿌리를 뽑아내고 내 이름을 위하여 거룩하게 한 이 전을 내 앞에서 버려 모든 민족 중에 속담거리와 이야기거리가 되게 하리니 21이 전이 비록 높을지라도 무릇 그리로 지나가는 자가 놀라 가로되 여호와께서 무슨 까닭으로 이 땅과 이 전에 이같이 행하셨는고 하면 22대답하기를 저희가 자기 열조를 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 내신 자기 하나님 여호와를 버리고 다른 신에게 부종하여 그를 숭배하여 섬기므로 여호와께서 이 모든 재앙을 저희에게 내리셨다 하리라 하셨더라

1Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and Yahweh’s glory filled the house. 2The priests could not enter into Yahweh’s house, because Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house. 3All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and Yahweh’s glory was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying, “For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.” 4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Yahweh. 5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house. 6The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures for ever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood. 7Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was before Yahweh’s house; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat. 8So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt. 9On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 11Thus Solomon finished Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in Yahweh’s house, and in his own house. 12Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice. 13“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place. 16For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 17“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances; 18then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’ 19But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 21This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?’ 22They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”

1Als nu Salomo voleind had te bidden, zo daalde het vuur van den hemel, en verteerde het brandoffer en de slachtofferen; en de heerlijkheid des HEEREN vervulde het huis. 2En de priesters konden niet ingaan in het huis des HEEREN; want de heerlijkheid des HEEREN had het huis des HEEREN vervuld. 3En als al de kinderen Israels dat vuur zagen afdalen, en de heerlijkheid des HEEREN over het huis, zo bukten zij met hun aangezichten ter aarde op den vloer, en aanbaden en loofden den HEERE, dat Hij goedig is, dat Zijn weldadigheid is tot in eeuwigheid. 4De koning nu en al het volk offerden slachtofferen voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 5En de koning Salomo offerde slachtofferen van runderen, twee en twintig duizend, en van schapen, honderd en twintig duizend. Alzo hebben de koning en het ganse volk het huis Gods ingewijd. 6Ook stonden de priesters in hun wachten, en de Levieten met de muzikale instrumenten des HEEREN, die de koning David gemaakt had, om den HEERE te loven, dat Zijn weldadigheid is in eeuwigheid, als David door hun dienst Hem prees; en de priesters trompetten tegen hen over, en gans Israel stond. 7En Salomo heiligde het middelste des voorhofs, hetwelk voor het huis des HEEREN was, dewijl hij daar de brandofferen en het vette der dankofferen bereid had; want het koperen altaar, dat Salomo gemaakt had, kon het brandoffer, en het spijsoffer, en het vette niet vatten. 8Salomo hield ook ter zelfder tijd het feest zeven dagen, en gans Israel met hem, een zeer grote gemeente, van den ingang af van Hamath, tot de rivier van Egypte. 9En ten achtsten dage hielden zij een verbodsdag; want zij hielden de inwijding des altaars zeven dagen, en het feest zeven dagen. 10Doch op den drie en twintigsten dag der zevende maand liet hij het volk gaan tot hun hutten, blijde en goedsmoeds over het goede, dat de HEERE aan David en Salomo, en Zijn volk Israel gedaan had. 11Alzo volbracht Salomo het huis des HEEREN, en het huis des konings; en al wat in Salomo's hart gekomen was, om in het huis des HEEREN en in zijn huis te maken, richtte hij voorspoedig uit. 12En de HEERE verscheen Salomo des nachts, en Hij zeide tot hem: Ik heb uw gebed verhoord, en heb Mij deze plaats verkoren tot een offerhuis. 13Zo Ik den hemel toesluite, dat er geen regen zij, of zo Ik den sprinkhaan gebiede, het land te verteren, of zo Ik pest onder Mijn volk zende; 14En Mijn volk, over dewelken Mijn Naam genoemd wordt, zich verootmoedigt en bidt, en zij Mijn aangezicht zoeken, en zich bekeren van hun boze wegen; zo zal Ik uit den hemel horen, en hun zonden vergeven, en hun land genezen. 15Nu zullen Mijn ogen open zijn, en Mijn oren opmerkende op het gebed dezer plaats. 16Want Ik heb nu dit huis verkoren en geheiligd, opdat Mijn Naam daar zij tot in eeuwigheid en Mijn ogen en Mijn hart zullen daar te allen dage zijn. 17En u aangaande, zo gij voor Mijn aangezicht wandelen zult, gelijk als uw vader David gewandeld heeft, en doen naar alles, wat Ik u geboden heb, en Mijn inzettingen en Mijn rechten houden zult; 18Zo zal Ik den troon uws koninkrijks bevestigen, gelijk als Ik een verbond met uw vader David gemaakt heb, zeggende: Geen man zal u afgesneden worden, die in Israel heerse. 19Maar zo gijlieden u afkeren zult, en Mijn inzettingen en Mijn geboden, die Ik voor uw aangezicht gegeven heb, verlaten, en heengaan, en andere goden dienen, en u voor die nederbuigen zult; 20Zo zal Ik hen uitrukken uit Mijn land, dat Ik hun gegeven heb, en dit huis, dat Ik Mijn Naam geheiligd heb, zal Ik van Mijn aangezicht wegwerpen, en zal het tot een spreekwoord en spotrede onder alle volken maken. 21En dit huis, dat verheven zal geweest zijn, daarover zal zich een ieder, die voorbijgaat, ontzetten, dat hij zal zeggen: Waarom heeft de HEERE aan dit land en aan dit huis alzo gedaan? 22En men zal zeggen: Omdat zij den HEERE, hunner vaderen God, verlaten hebben, Die hen uit Egypteland uitgevoerd had, en hebben zich aan andere goden gehouden, en zich voor dezelve nedergebogen, en hen gediend; daarom heeft Hij al dat kwaad over hen gebracht.
