2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh, you said that you would live in a dark cloud.
Pada waktu itu berkatalah Salomo: "TUHAN telah memutuskan untuk diam dalam kekelaman.
2 But now I have built a glorious temple for you to live in forever!”
Sekarang, aku telah mendirikan rumah kediaman bagi-Mu, tempat Engkau menetap selama-lamanya."
3 Then while all the people stood there, Solomon turned toward the people and he [asked God to] bless them.
Kemudian berpalinglah raja lalu memberkati seluruh jemaah Israel, sedang segenap jemaah Israel berdiri.
4 He said to them, “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, who has caused to happen what he promised to my father David. What he said to David was this:
Ia berkata: "Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah orang Israel, yang telah menyelesaikan dengan tangan-Nya apa yang difirmankan-Nya dengan mulut-Nya kepada Daud, ayahku, demikian:
5 ‘From the time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city in Israel in which a temple should be built for people to [worship] me there. Nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my Israeli people.
Sejak Aku membawa umat-Ku keluar dari tanah Mesir, tidak ada kota yang Kupilih di antara segala suku Israel untuk mendirikan rumah di sana sebagai tempat kediaman nama-Ku, dan tidak ada orang yang Kupilih untuk menjadi raja atas umat-Ku Israel.
6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem to be the place for people to worship me, and I have chosen you to rule my Israeli people.’”
Tetapi kemudian Aku memilih Yerusalem sebagai tempat kediaman nama-Ku dan memilih Daud untuk berkuasa atas umat-Ku Israel.
7 [Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple for Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
Ketika Daud, ayahku, bermaksud mendirikan rumah untuk nama TUHAN, Allah Israel,
8 But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadanya: Engkau bermaksud mendirikan rumah untuk nama-Ku, dan maksudmu itu memanglah baik;
9 However, you are not the one who I want to build the temple; it is one of your own sons who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
hanya, bukanlah engkau yang akan mendirikan rumah itu, melainkan anak kandungmu yang akan lahir kelak, dialah yang akan mendirikan rumah itu untuk nama-Ku.
10 “And Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling the people, like Yahweh promised, and I have arranged for this temple to be built for us to worship Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
Jadi TUHAN telah menepati janji yang telah diucapkan-Nya; aku telah bangkit menggantikan Daud, ayahku, dan telah duduk di atas takhta kerajaan Israel, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN; aku telah mendirikan rumah ini untuk nama TUHAN, Allah Israel,
11 I have put the Sacred Chest in the temple, in which are the stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with us Israeli people.”
dan telah menempatkan di sana tabut, yang memuat perjanjian yang telah diikat TUHAN dengan orang Israel."
12 Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was in front of the people of Israel who had gathered there.
Kemudian berdirilah ia di depan mezbah TUHAN di hadapan segenap jemaah Israel, lalu menadahkan tangannya;
13 His workers had built a bronze platform there [for him to stand on], which was 7-1/2 feet long and 7-1/2 feet wide and 4-1/2 feet high. They put it in the outer courtyard. Solomon stood on that platform and then knelt down in front of all the people of Israel who had gathered there, and he spread out his arms toward heaven,
--karena Salomo telah membuat sebuah mimbar tembaga yang panjangnya lima hasta, lebarnya lima hasta dan tingginya tiga hasta, yang ditaruhnya di halaman--; ia berdiri di atasnya lalu berlutut di hadapan segenap jemaah Israel dan menadahkan tangannya ke langit,
14 and he prayed, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us, and that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
sambil berkata: "Ya TUHAN, Allah Israel! Tidak ada Allah seperti Engkau di langit dan di bumi; Engkau yang memelihara perjanjian dan kasih setia kepada hamba-hamba-Mu yang dengan segenap hatinya hidup di hadapan-Mu;
15 “You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do those things for him, and today we see that by your power you have caused it all to happen.
Engkau yang tetap berpegang pada janji-Mu terhadap hamba-Mu Daud, ayahku, dan yang telah menggenapi dengan tangan-Mu apa yang Kaufirmankan dengan mulut-Mu, seperti yang terjadi pada hari ini.
16 “So now, Yahweh, the God we Israelis belong to, please do the things that you promised to my father David that you would do. You said that there would always be some of his descendants to rule Israel, if they faithfully conduct their lives as he did.
Maka sekarang, ya TUHAN, Allah Israel, peliharalah apa yang Kaujanjikan kepada hamba-Mu Daud, ayahku, dengan berkata: Keturunanmu takkan terputus di hadapan-Ku dan tetap akan duduk di atas takhta kerajaan Israel, asal anak-anakmu tetap hidup menurut hukum-Ku sama seperti engkau hidup di hadapan-Ku.
17 So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised David, who served you [well], to happen.
Maka sekarang, ya TUHAN, Allah Israel, biarlah terbukti kebenaran firman-Mu yang telah Kauucapkan kepada hamba-Mu Daud.
18 “But, my God, will you really live on earth among people? There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven! So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
Tetapi benarkah Allah hendak diam bersama dengan manusia di atas bumi? Sesungguhnya langit, bahkan langit yang mengatasi segala langitpun tidaklah dapat memuat Engkau, terlebih lagi rumah yang kudirikan ini.
19 But Yahweh, my God, please listen to my prayer, while I am pleading with you this day and do what I am requesting.
Maka berpalinglah kepada doa dan permohonan hamba-Mu ini, ya TUHAN Allahku, dengarkanlah seruan dan doa yang hamba-Mu panjatkan di hadapan-Mu ini!
20 Please protect this temple day and night. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ Please listen to my prayer about this place.
Kiranya mata-Mu terbuka terhadap rumah ini, siang dan malam, terhadap tempat yang Kaukatakan akan menjadi kediaman nama-Mu--dengarkanlah doa yang hamba-Mu panjatkan di tempat ini.
21 Listen to me when I pray, and listen to your Israeli people when they pray. Listen from heaven, where you live; and when you hear us pray, forgive us.
Dan dengarkanlah permohonan hamba-Mu dan umat-Mu Israel yang mereka panjatkan di tempat ini; bahwa Engkau juga yang mendengarnya dari tempat kediaman-Mu, dari sorga; dan apabila Engkau mendengarnya, maka Engkau akan mengampuni.
22 “If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to testify in front of your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
Jika seseorang telah berdosa kepada temannya, lalu diwajibkan mengangkat sumpah dengan mengutuk dirinya, dan ia datang bersumpah ke depan mezbah-Mu di dalam rumah ini,
23 then you listen from heaven, and you decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.
maka Engkaupun hendaklah mendengar dari sorga dan bertindak serta mengadili hamba-hamba-Mu, yakni membalas perbuatan orang bersalah dengan menanggungkannya kepada orang itu sendiri, tetapi membenarkan orang yang benar dengan membalaskan kepadanya sesuai dengan kebenarannya.
24 “And when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies because they sinned against you, [and forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and plead [that you will forgive them],
Apabila umat-Mu Israel terpukul kalah oleh musuhnya karena mereka berdosa kepada-Mu, kemudian mereka berbalik dan mengakui nama-Mu, dan mereka berdoa dan memohon di hadapan-Mu di rumah ini,
25 listen to them from heaven and forgive your Israeli people for the sins that they [have committed], and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.
maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengar dari sorga dan mengampuni dosa umat-Mu Israel dan mengembalikan mereka ke tanah yang telah Kauberikan kepada mereka dan nenek moyang mereka.
26 “When you do not allow any rain to fall because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and turn away from their sinful behavior and humbly pray to you,
Apabila langit tertutup, sehingga tidak ada hujan, sebab mereka berdosa kepada-Mu, lalu mereka berdoa di tempat ini dan mengakui nama-Mu dan mereka berbalik dari dosanya, sebab Engkau telah menindas mereka,
27 hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your Israeli people. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives. Then cause it to rain here on the land that you gave to your people to belong to them [permanently].
maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengarkannya di sorga dan mengampuni dosa hamba-hamba-Mu, umat-Mu Israel, --karena Engkaulah yang menunjukkan kepada mereka jalan yang baik yang harus mereka jalani--dan Engkau kiranya memberikan hujan kepada tanah-Mu yang telah Kauberikan kepada umat-Mu menjadi milik pusaka.
28 “And when the people of this land experience famines or if there is a plague, or when their crops are destroyed by very hot winds or by mildew or by locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,
Apabila ada kelaparan di negeri ini, apabila ada penyakit sampar, hama dan penyakit gandum, belalang dan belalang pelahap, apabila musuh menyesakkan mereka di salah satu kota mereka, apabila ada tulah atau penyakit apapun,
29 when your Israeli people earnestly plead with you, knowing in their inner beings that they are suffering [because they have sinned], if they stretch out their hands toward this temple and pray,
lalu seseorang atau segenap umat-Mu Israel memanjatkan doa dan permohonan di rumah ini dengan menadahkan tangannya--karena mereka masing-masing mengenal tulahnya dan penderitaannya sendiri--
30 hear from your home in heaven, and forgive them. You alone know what each person is thinking, so reward each person according to everything that he does,
maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengar dari sorga, tempat kediaman-Mu yang tetap, dan kiranya Engkau mengampuni, dan membalas kepada setiap orang sesuai dengan segala perbuatannya, karena Engkau mengenal hatinya--sebab Engkau sajalah yang mengenal hati anak-anak manusia, --
31 in order that they will revere you and conduct their lives as you want them to, all the time that they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
supaya mereka takut akan Engkau dan mengikuti segala jalan yang Engkau tunjukkan selama mereka hidup di atas tanah yang telah Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang kami.
32 “There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they turn toward this temple and pray,
Juga apabila seorang asing, yang tidak termasuk umat-Mu Israel, datang dari negeri jauh oleh karena nama-Mu yang besar, tangan-Mu yang kuat dan lengan-Mu yang teracung, dan ia datang berdoa di rumah ini,
33 from your home in heaven listen to their prayer, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that in order that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we, your own Israeli people do. And then they will know that this is the temple that I have caused to be built for you.
maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengar dari sorga, dari tempat kediaman-Mu yang tetap, dan kiranya Engkau bertindak sesuai dengan segala yang diserukan kepada-Mu oleh orang asing itu, supaya segala bangsa di bumi mengenal nama-Mu, sehingga mereka takut akan Engkau sama seperti umat-Mu Israel, dan sehingga mereka tahu, bahwa nama-Mu telah diserukan atas rumah yang telah kudirikan ini.
34 “When you send your people to go to places to attack their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you,
Apabila umat-Mu keluar untuk berperang melawan musuh-musuhnya, ke arah manapun Engkau menyuruh mereka, dan apabila mereka berdoa kepada-Mu dengan berkiblat ke kota yang telah Kaupilih ini dan ke rumah yang telah kudirikan bagi nama-Mu,
35 listen in heaven to their prayers; listen to what they plead for you [to do], and assist them.
maka Engkau kiranya mendengar dari sorga doa dan permohonan mereka dan Engkau kiranya memberikan keadilan kepada mereka.
36 [“It is true that] everyone sins. So, when your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to capture them and take them to their countries, even to countries that are far away.
Apabila mereka berdosa kepada-Mu--karena tidak ada manusia yang tidak berdosa--dan Engkau murka kepada mereka dan menyerahkan mereka kepada musuh, sehingga mereka diangkut tertawan ke negeri yang jauh atau yang dekat,
37 When that happens, while they are in the countries to which they were forced to go, if they are sorry for having sinned, if they say, ‘We have sinned; we have done things that are wrong and have done things that are very wicked,’
dan apabila mereka sadar kembali dalam hatinya di negeri tempat mereka tertawan, dan mereka berbalik, dan memohon kepada-Mu di negeri tempat mereka tertawan, dengan berkata: Kami telah berdosa, bersalah, dan berbuat fasik,
38 if they repent very sincerely, and if they turn toward this land that you gave to our ancestors, and toward this city that you have chosen [to be the place where we should worship you], and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you and pray,
apabila mereka berbalik kepada-Mu dengan segenap hatinya dan dengan segenap jiwanya di negeri orang-orang yang mengangkut mereka tertawan, dan apabila mereka berdoa kepada-Mu dengan berkiblat ke negeri mereka yang telah Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang mereka, ke kota yang telah Kaupilih dan ke rumah yang telah kudirikan bagi nama-Mu,
39 then from your home in heaven hear their prayer, and listen to them while they plead [for your help], and do what they ask you to do, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
maka Engkau kiranya mendengarkan dari sorga, dari tempat kediaman-Mu yang tetap, kepada doa dan segala permohonan mereka dan kiranya Engkau memberikan keadilan kepada mereka, dan Engkau kiranya mengampuni umat-Mu yang telah berdosa kepada-Mu.
40 “Now, my God, look at us and listen to us as we pray to you in this place.
Sebab itu, ya Allahku, kiranya mata-Mu terbuka dan telinga-Mu menaruh perhatian kepada doa yang dipanjatkan di tempat ini.
41 Yahweh our God, come and stay in this place with the Sacred Chest, the chest that shows that you are powerful. Yahweh God, cause your priests to know clearly that you have blessed them. Cause us your people to rejoice because of all the good things [that you do for us].
Dan sekarang, bangunlah ya TUHAN Allah, dan pergilah ke tempat perhentian-Mu, Engkau serta tabut kekuatan-Mu! Kiranya, ya TUHAN Allah, imam-imam-Mu berpakaian keselamatan, dan orang-orang yang Kaukasihi bersukacita karena kebaikan-Mu.
42 Yahweh God, do not reject me [the king] whom you have appointed [to be the king of Israel]; do not forget that you greatly loved David, who served you [very well].”
Ya TUHAN Allah, janganlah Engkau menolak orang yang telah Kauurapi, ingatlah akan segala kasih setia-Mu kepada Daud, hamba-Mu itu."
