II Chronicles 6

tunc Salomon ait Dominus pollicitus est ut habitaret in caligine

Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

ego autem aedificavi domum nomini eius ut habitaret ibi in perpetuum

But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

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.

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 hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

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:

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.

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.

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, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

sed non tu aedificabis domum verum filius tuus qui egredietur de lumbis tuis ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo

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.

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 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.

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.

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:

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 brasen 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,

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 thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

qui praestitisti servo tuo David patri meo quaecumque locutus fueras ei et quae ore promiseras opere conplesti sicut et praesens tempus probat

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.

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 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.

et nunc Domine Deus Israhel firmetur sermo tuus quem locutus es servo tuo David

Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

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 thee; how much less this house which I have built!

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 thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

ut aperias oculos tuos super domum istam diebus et noctibus super locum in quo pollicitus es ut invocaretur nomen tuum

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.

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

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.

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 neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

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 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.

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 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;

tu exaudi de caelo et propitiare peccato populi tui Israhel et reduc eos in terram quam dedisti eis et patribus eorum

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.

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 thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

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 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.

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 caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

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 thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

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 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:)

ut timeant te et ambulent in viis tuis cunctis diebus quibus vivunt super faciem terrae quam dedisti patribus nostris

That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

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 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;

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 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.

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 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;

ut exaudias de caelo preces eorum et obsecrationem et ulciscaris

Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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 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;

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 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;

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 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:

ut exaudias de caelo hoc est de firmo habitaculo tuo preces eorum et facias iudicium et dimittas populo tuo quamvis peccatori

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.

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 thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

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 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.

Domine Deus ne averseris faciem christi tui memento misericordiarum David servi tui

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
