Ii Paralipomenon 6
1 tunc Salomon ait Dominus pollicitus est ut habitaret in caligine
Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 ego autem aedificavi domum nomini eius ut habitaret ibi in perpetuum
But I have built an house of habitation for you, and a place for your dwelling for ever.
3 et convertit faciem suam et benedixit universae multitudini Israhel nam omnis turba stabat intenta et ait
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
4 benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel qui quod locutus est David patri meo opere conplevit dicens
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
5 a die qua eduxi populum meum de terra Aegypti non elegi civitatem de cunctis tribubus Israhel ut aedificaretur in ea domus nomini meo neque elegi quemquam alium virum ut esset dux in populo meo Israhel
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
6 sed elegi Hierusalem ut sit nomen meum in ea et elegi David ut constituerem eum super populum meum Israhel
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 cumque fuisset voluntatis David patris mei ut aedificaret domum nomini Domini Dei Israhel
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
8 dixit Dominus ad eum quia haec fuit voluntas tua ut aedificares domum nomini meo bene quidem fecisti habere huiuscemodi voluntatem
But the LORD said to David my father, For as much as it was in your heart to build an house for my name, you did well in that it was in your heart:
9 sed non tu aedificabis domum verum filius tuus qui egredietur de lumbis tuis ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo
Notwithstanding you shall not build the house; but your son which shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 conplevit ergo Dominus sermonem suum quem locutus fuerat et ego surrexi pro David patre meo et sedi super thronum Israhel sicut locutus est Dominus et aedificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israhel
The LORD therefore has performed his word that he has spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
11 et posui in ea arcam in qua est pactum Domini quod pepigit cum filiis Israhel
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
12 stetit ergo coram altare Domini ex adverso universae multitudinis Israhel et extendit manus suas
And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
13 siquidem fecerat Salomon basem aeneam et posuerat eam in medio basilicae habentem quinque cubitos longitudinis et quinque cubitos latitudinis et tres cubitos in altum stetitque super eam et deinceps flexis genibus contra universam multitudinem Israhel et palmis in caelum levatis
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court: and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
14 ait Domine Deus Israhel non est similis tui Deus in caelo et in terra qui custodis pactum et misericordiam cum servis tuis qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo
And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy to your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts:
15 qui praestitisti servo tuo David patri meo quaecumque locutus fueras ei et quae ore promiseras opere conplesti sicut et praesens tempus probat
You which have kept with your servant David my father that which you have promised him; and spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
16 nunc ergo Domine Deus Israhel imple servo tuo patri meo David quaecumque locutus es dicens non deficiet ex te vir coram me qui sedeat super thronum Israhel ita tamen si custodierint filii tui vias suas et ambulaverint in lege mea sicut et tu ambulasti coram me
Now therefore, O LORD 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; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.
17 et nunc Domine Deus Israhel firmetur sermo tuus quem locutus es servo tuo David
Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you have spoken to your servant David.
18 ergone credibile est ut habitet Deus cum hominibus super terram si caelum et caeli caelorum non te capiunt quanto magis domus ista quam aedificavi
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
19 sed ad hoc tantum facta est ut respicias orationem servi tui et obsecrationem eius Domine Deus meus audias et preces quas fundit famulus tuus coram te
Have respect therefore to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you:
20 ut aperias oculos tuos super domum istam diebus et noctibus super locum in quo pollicitus es ut invocaretur nomen tuum
That your eyes may be open on this house day and night, on the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
21 et exaudires orationem quam servus tuus orat in eo exaudi preces famuli tui et populi tui Israhel quicumque oraverit in loco isto et exaudi de habitaculo tuo id est de caelis et propitiare
Listen therefore to the supplications of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear you from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
22 si peccaverit quispiam in proximum suum et iurare contra eum paratus venerit seque maledicto constrinxerit coram altari in domo ista
If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to make him swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house;
23 tu audies de caelo et facies iudicium servorum tuorum ita ut reddas iniquo viam suam in caput proprium et ulciscaris iustum retribuens ei secundum iustitiam suam
Then hear you from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way on his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
24 si superatus fuerit populus tuus Israhel ab inimicis peccabunt enim tibi et conversi egerint paenitentiam et obsecraverint nomen tuum et fuerint deprecati in loco isto
And if your people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; and shall return and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
25 tu exaudi de caelo et propitiare peccato populi tui Israhel et reduc eos in terram quam dedisti eis et patribus eorum
Then hear you from the heavens, 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 si clauso caelo pluvia non fluxerit propter peccata populi et deprecati te fuerint in loco isto et confessi nomini tuo et conversi a peccatis suis cum eos adflixeris
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them;
27 exaudi de caelo Domine et dimitte peccata servis tuis et populi tui Israhel et doce eos viam bonam per quam ingrediantur et da pluviam terrae quam dedisti populo tuo ad possidendum
Then hear you from heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you have taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
28 fames si orta fuerit in terra et pestilentia erugo et aurugo et lucusta et brucus et hostes vastatis regionibus portas obsederint civitatis omnisque plaga et infirmitas presserit
If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever sore or whatever sickness there be:
29 si quis de populo tuo Israhel fuerit deprecatus cognoscens plagam et infirmitatem suam et expanderit manus suas in domo hac
Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all your people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
30 tu exaudi de caelo de sublimi scilicet habitaculo tuo et propitiare et redde unicuique secundum vias suas quas nosti eum habere in corde suo tu enim solus nosti corda filiorum hominum
Then hear you from heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you only know the hearts of the children of men: )
31 ut timeant te et ambulent in viis tuis cunctis diebus quibus vivunt super faciem terrae quam dedisti patribus nostris
That they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
32 externum quoque qui non est de populo tuo Israhel si venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum magnum et propter manum tuam robustam et brachium tuum extentum et adoraverit in loco isto
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of your people Israel, but is come from a far country for your great name’s sake, and your mighty hand, and your stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
33 tu exaudies de caelo firmissimo habitaculo tuo et facies cuncta pro quibus invocaverit te ille peregrinus ut sciant omnes populi terrae nomen tuum et timeant te sicut populus tuus Israhel et cognoscant quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc quam aedificavi
Then hear you from the heavens, even from 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, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
34 si egressus fuerit populus tuus ad bellum contra adversarios suos per viam in qua miseris eos adorabunt te contra viam in qua civitas haec est quam elegisti et domus quam aedificavi nomini tuo
If your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that 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;
35 ut exaudias de caelo preces eorum et obsecrationem et ulciscaris
Then hear you from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 si autem et peccaverint tibi neque enim est homo qui non peccet et iratus fueris eis et tradideris hostibus et captivos eos duxerint in terram longinquam vel certe quae iuxta est
If they sin against you, (for there is no man which sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;
37 et conversi corde suo in terra ad quam captivi ducti fuerant egerint paenitentiam et deprecati te fuerint in terra captivitatis suae dicentes peccavimus inique fecimus iniuste egimus
Yet if they bethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 et reversi fuerint ad te in toto corde suo et in tota anima sua in terra captivitatis suae ad quam ducti sunt adorabunt te contra viam terrae suae quam dedisti patribus eorum et urbis quam elegisti et domus quam aedificavi nomini tuo
If they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
39 ut exaudias de caelo hoc est de firmo habitaculo tuo preces eorum et facias iudicium et dimittas populo tuo quamvis peccatori
Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people which have sinned against you.
40 tu es enim Deus meus aperiantur quaeso oculi tui et aures tuae intentae sint ad orationem quae fit in loco isto
Now, my God, let, I beseech you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 nunc igitur consurge Domine Deus in requiem tuam tu et arca fortitudinis tuae sacerdotes tui Domine Deus induantur salute et sancti tui laetentur in bonis
Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
42 Domine Deus ne averseris faciem christi tui memento misericordiarum David servi tui
O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.
