1 Raja-raja 8
1 Setelah itu Raja Salomo menyuruh semua pemimpin suku dan kaum dari bangsa Israel datang kepadanya di Yerusalem untuk memindahkan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN dari Sion, Kota Daud, ke Rumah TUHAN.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Maka datanglah mereka semua pada Hari Raya Pondok Daun dalam bulan Etanim.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Setelah semua pemimpin itu berkumpul, para imam mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu,
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 dan membawanya ke Rumah TUHAN. Kemah TUHAN serta semua perlengkapannya dipindahkan juga ke Rumah TUHAN oleh para imam dan orang Lewi.
And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
5 Raja Salomo dan seluruh rakyat Israel berkumpul di depan Peti Perjanjian itu lalu mempersembahkan kepada TUHAN domba dan sapi yang tak terhitung banyaknya.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 Setelah itu para imam membawa Peti Perjanjian itu ke dalam Rumah TUHAN dan meletakkannya di bawah patung-patung kerub di dalam Ruang Mahasuci.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7 Sayap patung-patung itu terbentang menutupi peti itu dan kayu-kayu pengusungnya.
For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8 Kayu pengusung itu panjang sekali, sehingga ujung-ujungnya terlihat dari depan Ruang Mahasuci. (Sampai hari ini kayu-kayu itu masih di situ.)
And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are to this day.
9 Di dalam Peti Perjanjian itu tidak ada sesuatu pun kecuali dua batu. Batu-batu itu telah dimasukkan ke situ oleh Musa di Gunung Sinai, ketika TUHAN membuat perjanjian dengan bangsa Israel pada waktu mereka dalam perjalanan dari Mesir ke negeri Kanaan.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Pada saat para imam keluar dari Rumah TUHAN itu tiba-tiba rumah itu dipenuhi awan.
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 Awan itu berkilauan oleh keagungan kehadiran TUHAN sehingga para imam itu tak dapat masuk kembali untuk melaksanakan tugas mereka.
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
12 Maka berdoalah Salomo, katanya, "Engkaulah yang menempatkan surya di langit, ya TUHAN. Namun Engkau lebih suka tinggal dalam kegelapan awan.
Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Kini kubangun untuk-Mu gedung yang megah, untuk tempat tinggal-Mu selama-lamanya."
I have surely built you an house to dwell in, a settled place for you to abide in for ever.
14 Setelah berdoa, Raja Salomo berpaling kepada seluruh rakyat yang sedang berdiri di situ, lalu memohonkan berkat Allah bagi mereka.
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood; )
15 Ia berkata, "Dahulu TUHAN telah berjanji kepada ayahku Daud begini, 'Sejak Aku membawa umat-Ku keluar dari Mesir, di seluruh negeri Israel tidak ada satu kota pun yang Kupilih menjadi tempat di mana harus dibangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada-Ku. Tetapi engkau, Daud, Kupilih untuk memerintah umat-Ku.' Terpujilah TUHAN Allah Israel yang sudah menepati janji-Nya itu!"
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 Selanjutnya Salomo berkata, "Ayahku Daud telah merencanakan untuk membangun rumah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepadanya, 'Maksudmu itu baik.
And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build an house to my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 Tetapi, bukan engkau, melainkan anakmulah yang akan membangun rumah-Ku itu.'
Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son that shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house to my name.
20 Sekarang TUHAN telah menepati janji-Nya. Aku telah menjadi raja Israel menggantikan ayahku, dan aku telah pula membangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.
And the LORD has performed his word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
21 Di dalam Rumah TUHAN itu telah kusediakan tempat untuk Peti Perjanjian yang berisi batu perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan leluhur kita ketika Ia membawa mereka keluar dari Mesir."
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22 Setelah itu, di hadapan rakyat yang hadir, Salomo berdiri menghadap mezbah lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
23 dan berdoa, "TUHAN, Allah Israel! Di langit atau pun di bumi tak ada yang seperti Engkau! Engkau menepati janji-Mu dan menunjukkan kasih-Mu kepada umat-Mu yang setia dan taat dengan sepenuh hati kepada-Mu.
And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keep covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with all their heart:
24 Engkau telah menepati janji-Mu kepada ayahku Daud. Apa yang Kaujanjikan itu sudah Kaulaksanakan hari ini.
Who have kept with your servant David my father that you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
25 Engkau juga telah berjanji kepada ayahku bahwa kalau keturunannya sungguh-sungguh taat kepada-Mu seperti dia, maka selalu akan ada seorang dari keturunannya yang menjadi raja atas Israel. Sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah Israel, tepatilah juga semua yang telah Kaujanjikan kepada ayahku Daud, hamba-Mu itu.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that you promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that your children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as you have walked before me.
And now, O God of Israel, let your word, I pray you, be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
27 Tetapi, ya Allah, sungguhkah Engkau sudi tinggal di bumi ini? Langit seluruhnya pun tak cukup luas untuk-Mu, apalagi rumah ibadat yang kubangun ini!
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built?
28 Ya TUHAN, Allahku, aku hamba-Mu! Namun dengarkanlah kiranya doaku, dan kabulkanlah permohonanku hari ini.
Yet have you respect to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer, which your servant prays before you to day:
29 Semoga siang malam Engkau melindungi rumah ini yang telah Kaupilih sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Mu. Semoga dari tempat kediaman-Mu di surga Engkau mendengar dan mengampuni aku serta umat-Mu apabila kami menghadap ke rumah ini dan berdoa kepada-Mu.
That your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there: that you may listen to the prayer which your servant shall make toward this place.
And listen you to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear you in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.
31 Apabila seseorang dituduh bersalah terhadap orang lain dan dibawa ke mezbah-Mu di dalam rumah ibadat ini untuk bersumpah bahwa ia tidak bersalah,
If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house:
32 ya TUHAN, hendaklah Engkau mendengarkan di surga dan memutuskan perkara hamba-hamba-Mu ini. Hukumlah yang bersalah setimpal perbuatannya dan bebaskanlah yang tidak bersalah.
Then hear you in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 Apabila umat-Mu Israel dikalahkan oleh musuh-musuhnya karena mereka berdosa, lalu mereka kembali kepada-Mu dan menghormati Engkau sebagai TUHAN, kemudian datang ke rumah ibadat ini serta berdoa mohon ampun kepada-Mu,
When your people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray, and make supplication to you in this house:
34 semoga Engkau mendengarkan mereka di surga. Semoga Engkau mengampuni dosa umat-Mu ini, dan membawa mereka kembali ke negeri yang telah Kauberikan kepada leluhur mereka.
Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
35 Apabila umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu dan Engkau menghukum mereka dengan tidak menurunkan hujan lalu mereka bertobat dari dosa mereka dan menghormati Engkau sebagai TUHAN, kemudian menghadap ke rumah ibadat ini serta berdoa kepada-Mu,
When heaven 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:
36 kiranya dari surga Engkau mendengarkan mereka. Dan ampunilah dosa umat-Mu Israel dan raja mereka. Ajarlah mereka melakukan apa yang benar. Setelah itu, ya TUHAN, turunkanlah hujan ke negeri-Mu ini, negeri yang Kauberikan kepada umat-Mu untuk menjadi miliknya selama-lamanya.
Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, that you teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
37 Apabila negeri ini dilanda kelaparan atau wabah, dan tanaman-tanaman dirusak oleh angin panas, hama atau serangan belalang, atau apabila umat-Mu diserang musuh, atau diserang penyakit,
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be;
38 semoga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka. Kalau dari antara umat-Mu Israel ada yang dengan bersedih hati berdoa kepada-Mu sambil menengadahkan tangannya ke arah rumah ibadat ini,
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 kiranya Engkau di dalam kediaman-Mu di surga mendengar serta mengampuni dan menolong mereka. Hanya Engkaulah yang mengenal isi hati manusia. Sebab itu perlakukanlah setiap orang setimpal perbuatan-perbuatan
Then hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men; )
40 supaya umat-Mu taat kepada-Mu selalu selama mereka tinggal di negeri yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami.
That they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
41 Apabila seorang asing di negeri yang jauh mendengar tentang kebesaran-Mu dan tentang keajaiban-keajaiban yang telah Kaulakukan untuk umat-Mu, lalu ia datang di rumah ibadat ini untuk menghormati Engkau dan berdoa kepada-Mu,
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of your people Israel, but comes out of a far country for your name’s sake;
(For they shall hear of your great name, and of your strong hand, and of your stretched out arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
43 semoga dari kediaman-Mu di surga Engkau mendengarkan doanya dan mengabulkan permintaannya. Dengan demikian segala bangsa di seluruh dunia mengenal Engkau dan taat kepada-Mu seperti umat-Mu Israel. Mereka akan mengetahui bahwa rumah yang kubangun ini adalah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Mu.
Hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for: that all people of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by your name.
44 Apabila Engkau memerintahkan umat-Mu untuk pergi berperang melawan musuh, lalu di mana pun mereka berada, mereka menghadap ke kota pilihan-Mu ini dan berdoa ke arah rumah ini yang telah kubangun untuk-Mu,
If your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever you shall send them, and shall pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name:
45 semoga di surga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka itu, dan memberikan kemenangan kepada mereka.
Then hear you in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 Apabila umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu--sesungguhnya tidak ada seorang pun yang tidak berdosa--lalu karena kemarahan-Mu Kaubiarkan mereka dikalahkan oleh musuh, dan dibawa sebagai tawanan ke suatu negeri yang jauh atau dekat,
If they sin against you, (for there is no man that sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near;
47 semoga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka. Jikalau di negeri itu mereka meninggalkan dosa-dosa mereka, dan berdoa kepada-Mu sambil mengakui bahwa mereka telah berdosa dan berbuat jahat, dengarkanlah doa mereka, ya TUHAN.
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication to you in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
48 Jikalau di negeri itu mereka dengan ikhlas dan sungguh-sungguh meninggalkan dosa-dosa mereka, dan berdoa kepada-Mu sambil menghadap ke negeri ini yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami, ke arah kota pilihan-Mu dan rumah ibadat yang telah kubangun untuk-Mu ini,
And so return to you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
49 maka dari kediaman-Mu di surga hendaklah Engkau mendengar doa mereka dan mengasihani mereka.
Then hear you their prayer and their supplication in heaven your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50 Ampunilah semua dosa dan kedurhakaan mereka terhadap-Mu, dan buatlah musuh-musuh mereka memperlakukan mereka dengan baik.
And forgive your people that have sinned against you, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against you, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
51 Mereka adalah umat-Mu sendiri yang telah Kaubawa keluar dari Mesir negeri di mana mereka disiksa.
For they be your people, and your inheritance, which you brought forth out of Egypt, from the middle of the furnace of iron:
52 Semoga Engkau, ya TUHAN Allah, selalu memperhatikan umat-Mu Israel beserta rajanya. Dan sudilah Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka setiap kali mereka berseru minta tolong kepada-Mu.
That your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them in all that they call for to you.
53 Engkau, ya TUHAN Allah, sudah memilih mereka dari antara segala bangsa untuk menjadi umat-Mu sendiri, seperti yang telah Kaukatakan kepada mereka melalui hamba-Mu Musa, ketika Engkau menuntun leluhur kami keluar dari Mesir."
For you did separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
54 Demikianlah Salomo berdoa sambil berlutut di depan mezbah dan dengan tangan ditengadahkan ke atas. Sesudah itu ia berdiri
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
55 dan dengan suara keras memohonkan berkat Allah untuk semua orang yang berkumpul di situ, katanya,
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 "Terpujilah TUHAN yang telah memberikan ketentraman kepada umat-Nya seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya melalui Musa hamba-Nya. Semua yang baik yang dijanjikan-Nya telah ditepati-Nya.
Blessed be the LORD, that has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
57 Semoga TUHAN Allah kita menyertai kita sebagaimana Ia menyertai leluhur kita. Semoga Ia tidak meninggalkan kita.
The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
58 Semoga Ia menjadikan kita orang-orang yang setia kepada-Nya supaya kita selalu hidup menurut kehendak-Nya dan taat kepada semua hukum dan perintah yang telah diberikan-Nya kepada leluhur kita.
That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Semoga TUHAN, Allah kita, selalu ingat akan doa dan permohonan yang telah kusampaikan ini kepada-Nya. Semoga Ia selalu menunjukkan kemurahan-Nya kepada umat Israel dan rajanya dengan memberikan kepada mereka apa yang mereka perlukan setiap hari.
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
60 Dengan demikian segala bangsa di dunia akan tahu bahwa hanya TUHAN sendirilah Allah, tak ada yang lain.
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
61 Hendaklah kalian, umat-Nya selalu setia kepada TUHAN, Allah kita dan taat kepada hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah-Nya seperti yang kalian lakukan pada hari ini."
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Setelah itu Raja Salomo dan semua orang yang berkumpul di situ mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63 Untuk kurban perdamaian Salomo mempersembahkan 22.000 sapi dan 120.000 domba. Demikianlah raja dan seluruh rakyat mengadakan upacara peresmian Rumah TUHAN.
And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
64 Hari itu juga Salomo meresmikan bagian tengah pelataran yang di depan Rumah TUHAN itu. Kemudian di pelataran itu ia mempersembahkan kurban bakaran, kurban gandum, dan lemak binatang untuk kurban perdamaian. Semua itu dipersembahkannya di situ karena mezbah perunggu terlalu kecil untuk semua persembahan itu.
The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Di Rumah TUHAN itu Salomo dan seluruh umat Israel mengadakan perayaan Pondok Daun selama tujuh hari. Sangat besar jumlah orang yang berkumpul di situ. Mereka datang dari daerah sejauh Jalan Hamat di utara sampai ke perbatasan Mesir di selatan.
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
66 Pada hari kedelapan Salomo menyuruh orang-orang itu pulang. Mereka semuanya memuji dia lalu kembali ke rumah mereka dengan hati yang gembira, karena semua berkat yang telah diberikan TUHAN kepada hamba-Nya Daud dan kepada bangsa Israel umat-Nya.
On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
