Young's Literal Translation
Then said Solomon, The
LORD
hath
said that
he
would
dwell in the
thick darkness .
Then said Solomon, `Jehovah
said --
to
dwell in thick darkness ,
But
I have built an
house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for
ever
.
and
I --
I
have built a
house of habitation for Thee, and a fixed
place for Thy dwelling to
the
ages
. '
And the king turned
his face, and blessed
the whole congregation
of Israel :
and all
the congregation
of Israel stood.
And the king turneth
round
his face, and blesseth
the whole assembly
of Israel ,
and the whole
assembly
of Israel is
standing,
And he said
, Blessed be
the
LORD
God of Israel, who hath with
his
hands
fulfilled
that
which
he
spake
with his mouth to
my father David
, saying
,
and he saith
, `
Blessed `is'
Jehovah,
God of Israel, who hath spoken
with His mouth with
David
my father, and
with
His
hands
hath
fulfilled
`it'
, saying:
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 :
`From
the day that I brought out
My people from
the land of Egypt ,
I have
not
fixed
on
a
city out
of
any
of
the tribes of Israel to build a
house for
my name being
there ,
and
I have
not
fixed
on
a
man to be leader
over My people Israel ;
But
I have
chosen
Jerusalem ,
that
my name might
be
there ;
and have
chosen
David to be over my people Israel.
and
I fix
on
Jerusalem for
My name being
there ,
and I
fix
on
David to be over My people Israel.
Now
it was
in
the heart of David my father to build an
house for the name of the
LORD
God of Israel .
`And
it is
with
the heart of David my father to build a
house for the name of Jehovah
God of Israel ,
But
the
LORD
said
to
David my father, Forasmuch
as
it was
in
thine
heart to build an
house for my name, thou didst
well in
that it was
in
thine
heart :
and
Jehovah
saith
unto
David my father, Because
that
it hath
been
with
thy
heart to build a
house for My name, thou hast
done
well that it hath
been
with
thy
heart ,
Notwithstanding
thou shalt
not build the house ;
but
thy son which
shall
come
forth out of
thy loins, he shall
build the house for my name.
but
thou dost
not build the house ,
for
thy son who
cometh
forth out from
thy loins, he doth
build the house for My name.
The
LORD
therefore
hath
performed
his word that he hath
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 .
`And
Jehovah
doth
establish
His word that He spake,
and
I rise
up in the stead
of David my father, and sit
on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah
spake
, and I
build
the house for the name of Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
And in
it
have
I put
the ark, wherein
is the covenant of the
LORD,
that he made with the children
of Israel.
and I place
there
the ark, where
`
is '
the covenant of Jehovah
that He made with the sons
of Israel. '
And he stood
before the altar of the
LORD
in
the
presence
of
all the congregation
of Israel, and spread
forth
his hands:
And he standeth
before the altar of Jehovah,
over-against
all the assembly
of Israel, and spreadeth
out
his hand,
--
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
midst
of
the
court:
and
upon it he
stood
, and kneeled
down
upon
his knees before
all the congregation
of Israel, and spread
forth his hands toward
heaven.
for Solomon hath
made a scaffold of brass,
and
putteth
it
in
the
midst
of
the
court,
five cubits its
length
, and five cubits its
breadth
, and three cubits its
height
, and he
standeth
upon it, and kneeleth
on
his knees over-against
all the assembly
of Israel, and spreadeth
forth his hands towards
the
heavens
--
And said
, O LORD
God of Israel, there is no
God
like thee in the heaven,
nor
in the earth ;
which
keepest
covenant
, and showest
mercy
unto
thy servants ,
that
walk
before thee with all their hearts:
and saith
, `
O Jehovah
God of Israel, there is not
like Thee a
god
in the heavens
and
in the earth, keeping
the
covenant
and the
kindness
for
Thy servants who
are
walking
before Thee with all their heart;
Thou
which
hast kept with
thy servant David my father that which thou hast
promised
him; and
spakest
with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with
thine
hand
, as it
is
this day.
who
hast kept for
Thy servant David my father that which Thou didst
speak
to
him; yea,
Thou
dost
speak
with Thy mouth, and with
Thy
hand
hast fulfilled `
it '
, as at
this day.
Now therefore
, O LORD
God of Israel, keep with
thy servant David my father that which thou hast
promised
him, saying, There shall
not fail
thee a man in
my
sight
to
sit
upon
the throne of Israel ;
yet
so
that
thy children
take
heed
to
their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
`And
now, O Jehovah,
God of Israel, keep for
Thy servant David my father that which Thou didst
speak
to
him, saying, There is
not cut
off
to
thee a man from
before
Me,
sitting
on
the throne of Israel ,
only,
if
thy sons
watch
their way to walk in My law, as thou hast walked before Me.
Now then
, O LORD
God of Israel, let
thy word be
verified,
which
thou hast spoken unto
thy servant David .
`And
now, O Jehovah,
God of Israel, is
Thy word stedfast
that
Thou hast spoken to
Thy servant ,
to
David ,
But
will
God in
very
deed
dwell
with men
on the earth ?
behold
, heaven
and the heaven
of heavens cannot
contain thee ;
how much less this house which
I have built !
(for
is
it
true?
--
God dwelleth
with man
on the earth !
Lo
, the
heavens,
and the heavens
of the
heavens ,
do
not
contain Thee ,
how much less this house that
I have built ?)
Have
respect
therefore
to
the prayer of thy servant, and to
his supplication, O LORD
my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which
thy servant prayeth
before thee :
`And
Thou
hast
turned
unto
the prayer of Thy servant, and unto
his supplication, O Jehovah
my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto
the prayer that
Thy servant is
praying
before Thee ,
That
thine eyes may
be
open upon
this house day and night, upon
the place whereof
thou hast said that
thou
wouldest
put thy name there ;
to hearken unto the prayer which
thy servant prayeth toward
this place.
for
Thine eyes being
open towards
this house by
day and by
night, towards
the place that
Thou hast said to
put Thy name there ,
to hearken unto the prayer that
Thy servant prayeth towards
this place.
Hearken
therefore
unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which
they shall
make
toward
this place :
hear
thou from thy dwelling place
, even
from heaven;
and when
thou
hearest
, forgive
.
`And
Thou
hast
hearkened
unto the supplications of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, that
they pray
towards
this place ,
and
Thou dost
hear
from the
place
of
Thy dwelling, from the
heavens,
and hast
hearkened
, and
forgiven
.
If a man sin against his neighbor
, and an oath be
laid
upon
him
to make
him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house ;
`
If a man doth
sin against his neighbour
, and he
hath
lifted
up
on
him
an oath to cause
him to
swear, and the oath hath
come in
before Thine altar in this house --
Then hear
thou from heaven
, and do
, and judge
thy servants, by
requiting
the wicked, by
recompensing
his way upon
his own
head ;
and by
justifying
the righteous, by
giving
him according to his righteousness.
then Thou dost
hear
from the
heavens
, and hast
done
, and hast
judged
Thy servants, to
give
back
to
the wicked, to
put
his way on
his head ,
and to
declare
righteous
the righteous, to
give
to
him according to his righteousness.
And if thy people Israel be
put
to
the
worse
before the
enemy, because they have
sinned
against thee ;
and shall
return
and confess
thy name, and pray
and make
supplication before thee in this house ;
`
And if Thy people Israel is
smitten
before an
enemy, because they sin
against Thee ,
and they
have
turned
back
and confessed
Thy name, and prayed
and made
supplication before Thee in this house --
Then hear
thou from the heavens, and forgive
the sin of thy people Israel, and bring
them again
unto the land
which
thou gavest
to them and to their fathers.
then Thou dost
hear
from the heavens, and hast
forgiven
the sin of Thy people Israel, and caused
them to
turn
back
unto the ground
that
Thou hast
given
to them ,
and to their fathers.
When
the heaven
is
shut
up
, and there is no rain, because they have
sinned
against thee ;
yet
if
they pray
toward
this place, and confess
thy name ,
and
turn
from their sin ,
when
thou dost afflict them ;
`In
the heavens
being
restrained
, and there is no rain, because they sin
against Thee ,
and
they have
prayed
towards
this place, and confessed
Thy name --
from their sin they
turn
back
because
Thou dost afflict them --
Then hear
thou from
heaven
, and forgive
the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when
thou hast
taught
them the good way ,
wherein
they should
walk ;
and send
rain upon
thy land ,
which
thou hast given unto
thy people for an inheritance.
then Thou dost
hear
in
the
heavens
, and hast
forgiven
the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, because
Thou directest
them unto
the good way in
which
they walk ,
and hast
given
rain on
Thy land that
Thou hast given to
Thy people for an inheritance.
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 ;
whatsoever
sore
or
whatsoever
sickness there
be:
`Famine,
when
it
is
in the land, pestilence, when
it
is,
blasting, and
mildew, locust
, and
caterpillar,
when
they
are,
when
its
enemies have
distressed
it
in the land --
its
gates,
any
plague
and
any
sickness ;
Then
what
prayer or
what
supplication soever
shall
be
made
of
any man, or
of
all thy people Israel, when every
one
shall
know his own sore
and his own grief
, and shall
spread forth
his hands in
this house:
any
prayer ,
any
supplication that
is
for
any man, and
for
all Thy people Israel, when they
know each
his own plague,
and his own pain
, and he
hath
spread out
his hands towards
this house:
Then hear
thou from heaven
thy dwelling place
, and forgive
, and render
unto
every
man
according unto
all his ways ,
whose
heart
thou knowest ;
(
for thou only knowest
the hearts
of the children
of men :
)
then Thou dost
hear
from the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of
Thy dwelling, and hast
forgiven
, and hast
given
to
each
according to
all his ways (because
Thou knowest his
heart,
for Thou --
Thou
only --
hast
known
the heart
of the sons
of men) ,
That they may
fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so
long
as
they live
in
the land
which
thou gavest
unto
our fathers.
so
that they fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, all
the
days
that
they are
living
on
the face
of
the
ground
that
Thou hast
given
to
our fathers.
Moreover
concerning
the stranger ,
which
is not of thy people Israel, but
is
come from a far
country
for thy great name's
sake
, and thy mighty
hand, and thy stretched out arm ;
if
they come and
pray
in this house ;
`And
also,
unto
the stranger who
is not of Thy people Israel, and
he
hath
come from a land
afar
off
for the
sake
of
Thy great name
, and Thy strong
hand, and Thy stretched -
out arm ,
and
they have
come in and
prayed
towards
this house :
Then hear
thou from the heavens, even
from thy dwelling place
, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth to
thee for ;
that all people
of the earth may
know thy name, and
fear thee, as doth
thy people Israel, and may
know that this house which
I have built is
called
by
thy
name
.
then Thou dost
hear
from the heavens, from the
settled
place
of
Thy dwelling, and hast
done
according to all that the stranger calleth unto
Thee for :
so
that all the
peoples
of the earth do
know Thy name, so
as
to
fear Thee, as Thy people Israel, and to
know that Thy
name
is
called
on
this house that
I have built.
If
thy people go out to war
against their
enemies by
the way that thou shalt
send them, and they pray
unto thee toward
this city which
thou hast chosen
, and the house which
I have built for thy name ;
`When
Thy people doth
go out to battle
against its
enemies in
the way that Thou dost
send them, and they have
prayed
unto Thee the
way
of
this city that
Thou hast fixed
on
, and the house that
I have built for Thy name :
Then hear
thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain
their cause.
then Thou hast
heard
from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast
maintained
their cause.
If
they sin against thee ,
(
for there is no
man which
sinneth not ,)
and thou be
angry with them, and deliver
them over
before their
enemies
, and they
carry
them away
captives
unto a land far off or near;
`When
they sin against Thee --
for there is not
a
man who
sinneth not --
and Thou hast
been
angry with them, and hast
given
them before an
enemy
, and taken
them captive
have
their
captors,
unto a land far off or near;
Yet
if
they bethink
themselves
in the land whither they are
carried
captive, and turn
and pray
unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss
, and have dealt
wickedly;
and
they have
turned
`it'
back
unto
their
heart
in the land whither they have
been
taken
captive, and have
turned
back,
and made
supplication
unto Thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely
, and have done
wickedly;
If
they return
to
thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried
them captives
, and pray
toward
their land ,
which
thou gavest
unto
their fathers, and toward
the city which
thou hast chosen, and toward
the house which
I have built for thy name:
yea,
they have
turned
back
unto
Thee with all their heart ,
and with all their soul ,
in the land of their captivity, whither they have taken
them captive
, and they
have
prayed
the
way
of
their land that
Thou hast
given
to
their fathers, and of
the city that
Thou hast chosen, and of
the house that
I have built for Thy name:
Then hear
thou from the heavens, even
from thy dwelling place
, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain
their cause, and forgive
thy people which
have sinned against thee.
then Thou hast
heard
from the heavens, from the
settled
place
of
Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and hast
maintained
their cause, and forgiven
Thy people who
have sinned against Thee.
Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let
thine ears be
attent
unto
the prayer that
is
made
in
this place .
`
Now, my God, let, I beseech Thee, Thine eyes be open, and Thine ears attentive,
to
the prayer of
this place :
Now therefore
arise
, O LORD
God, into
thy resting
place
, thou, and the ark of thy strength :
let
thy priests, O LORD
God, be
clothed with salvation, and let
thy saints rejoice in goodness .
and
now, rise,
O Jehovah
God, to
Thy rest
, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength ;
Thy priests, O Jehovah
God, are
clothed with salvation, and Thy saints rejoice in the
goodness ,
O LORD
God, turn not away
the face of thine anointed :
remember
the mercies
of David thy servant.
O Jehovah
God, turn not back
the face of Thine anointed ,
be
mindful
of
the kind
acts
of David Thy servant. '
