1  Then²²⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said⁵⁵⁹ that he would dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the thick darkness.⁶²⁰⁵

2  But I⁵⁸⁹ have built¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ of habitation²⁰⁷³ for thee, and a place⁴³⁴⁹ for thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ turned^{5437 853} his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and blessed^{1288 853} the whole³⁶⁰⁵ congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵

4  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who hath with his hands³⁰²⁷ fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ that which⁸³⁴ he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ with his mouth⁶³¹⁰ to⁸⁵⁴ my father¹ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹

5  Since⁴⁴⁸⁰ the day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I brought forth^{3318 853} my people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ I chose⁹⁷⁷ no³⁸⁰⁸ city⁵⁸⁹² among all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ in, that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ there;⁸⁰³³ neither³⁸⁰⁸ chose⁹⁷⁷ I any man³⁷⁶ to be¹⁹⁶¹ a ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸

6  But I have chosen⁹⁷⁷ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ there;⁸⁰³³ and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ David¹⁷³² to be¹⁹⁶¹ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

7  Now it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ the heart³⁸²⁴ of David¹⁷³² my father¹ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

8  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ Forasmuch^{3588 834} as it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ thou didst well²⁸⁹⁵ in that³⁵⁸⁸ it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart:³⁸²⁴

9  Notwithstanding⁷⁵³⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ build¹¹²⁹ the house;¹⁰⁰⁴ but³⁵⁸⁸ thy son¹¹²¹ which shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ thy loins,²⁵⁰⁴ he¹⁹³¹ shall build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name.⁸⁰³⁴

10  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ therefore hath performed^{6965 853} his word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ he hath spoken:¹⁶⁹⁶ for I am risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the room⁸⁴⁷⁸ of David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and am set³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ promised,¹⁶⁹⁶ and have built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

11  And in it⁸⁰³³ have I put^{7760 853} the ark,⁷²⁷ wherein^{834 8033} is the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ he made³⁷⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

12  And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the presence of⁵⁰⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands:³⁷⁰⁹

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ a brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ scaffold,³⁵⁹⁵ of five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ long,⁷⁵³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ broad,⁷³⁴¹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁶⁹⁶⁷ and had set⁵⁴¹⁴ it in the midst⁸⁴³² of the court:⁵⁸³⁵ and upon⁵⁹²¹ it he stood,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and kneeled down¹²⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ his knees¹²⁹⁰ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴

14  And said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ God⁴³⁰ like thee³⁶⁴⁴ in the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ nor in the earth;⁷⁷⁶ which keepest⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ and showest mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their hearts:³⁸²⁰

15  Thou which⁸³⁴ hast kept⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that which⁸³⁴ thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him; and spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ it with thine hand,³⁰²⁷ as it is this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

16  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that which⁸³⁴ thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ in my sight^{4480 6440} to sit³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ yet so⁷⁵³⁵ that thy children¹¹²¹ take heed^{8104 853} to their way¹⁸⁷⁰ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in my law,⁸⁴⁵¹ as⁸³⁴ thou hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me.

17  Now⁶²⁵⁸ then, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ be verified,⁵³⁹ which⁸³⁴ thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David.¹⁷³²

18  But³⁵⁸⁸ will God⁴³⁰ in very deed⁵⁵² dwell³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ men¹²⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ the earth?⁷⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ contain³⁵⁵⁷ thee; how much less⁶³⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built!¹¹²⁹

19  Have respect⁶⁴³⁷ therefore to⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and to⁴¹³ his supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ and the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee:

20  That thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may be¹⁹⁶¹ open⁶⁶⁰⁵ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ day³¹¹⁹ and night,³⁹¹⁵ upon⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ whereof⁸³⁴ thou hast said⁵⁵⁹ that thou wouldest put⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ there;⁸⁰³³ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

21  Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore unto⁴¹³ the supplications⁸⁴⁶⁹ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ they shall make⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place:⁴⁷²⁵ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4725} even from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ and when thou hearest,⁸⁰⁸⁵ forgive.⁵⁵⁴⁵

22  If⁵¹⁸ a man³⁷⁶ sin²³⁹⁸ against his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and an oath⁴²³ be laid⁵³⁷⁵ upon him to make him swear,⁴²² and the oath⁴²³ come⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

23  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and do,⁶²¹³ and judge^{8199 853} thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ by requiting⁷⁷²⁵ the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ by recompensing⁵⁴¹⁴ his way¹⁸⁷⁰ upon his own head;⁷²¹⁸ and by justifying⁶⁶⁶³ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² by giving⁵⁴¹⁴ him according to his righteousness.⁶⁶⁶⁶

24  And if⁵¹⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ be put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy,³⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; and shall return⁷⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ and make supplication²⁶⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee in this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

25  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ to them and to their fathers.¹

26  When the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ is shut up,⁶¹¹³ and there is¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain,⁴³⁰⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; yet if they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their sin,^{4480 2403} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou dost afflict⁶⁰³¹ them;

27  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast taught³³⁸⁴ them the good²⁸⁹⁶ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein⁸³⁴ they should walk;¹⁹⁸⁰ and send⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ for an inheritance.⁵¹⁵⁹

28  If³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ dearth⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ blasting,⁷⁷¹¹ or mildew,³⁴²⁰ locusts,⁶⁹⁷ or caterpillars;²⁶²⁵ if³⁵⁸⁸ their enemies³⁴¹ besiege⁶⁸⁸⁷ them in the cities⁸¹⁷⁹ of their land;⁷⁷⁶ whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sore⁵⁰⁶¹ or whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sickness⁴²⁴⁵ there be:

29  Then what³⁶⁰⁵ prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ or what³⁶⁰⁵ supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ soever⁸³⁴ shall be made¹⁹⁶¹ of any³⁶⁰⁵ man,¹²⁰ or of all³⁶⁰⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when⁸³⁴ every one³⁷⁶ shall know³⁰⁴⁵ his own sore⁵⁰⁶¹ and his own grief,⁴³⁴¹ and shall spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ in⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

30  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and forgive,⁵⁵⁴⁵ and render⁵⁴¹⁴ unto every man³⁷⁶ according unto all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,^{1870 853} whose heart³⁸²⁴ thou knowest;³⁰⁴⁵ (for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ only⁹⁰⁵ knowest^{3045 853} the hearts³⁸²⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of men:)¹²⁰

31  That⁴⁶¹⁶ they may fear³³⁷² thee, to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in thy ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ so long^{3605 3117} as⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² live²⁴¹⁶ in^{5921 6440} the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto our fathers.¹

32  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ concerning⁴¹³ the stranger,⁵²³⁷ which⁸³⁴ is not³⁸⁰⁸ of thy people^{4480 5971} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ but is come⁹³⁵ from a far⁷³⁵⁰ country^{4480 776} for thy great name's sake,^{4616 1419 8034} and thy mighty²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and thy stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm;²²²⁰ if they come⁹³⁵ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ in⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

33  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4349} and do⁶²¹³ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ the stranger⁵²³⁷ calleth⁷¹²¹ to⁴¹³ thee for; that⁴⁶¹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know^{3045 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and fear³³⁷² thee, as doth thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ is called⁷¹²¹ by thy name.⁸⁰³⁴

34  If³⁵⁸⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ go out³³¹⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ their enemies³⁴¹ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that⁸³⁴ thou shalt send⁷⁹⁷¹ them, and they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee toward¹⁸⁷⁰ this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name;⁸⁰³⁴

35  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens^{8064 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause.⁴⁹⁴¹

36  If³⁵⁸⁸ they sin²³⁹⁸ against thee, (for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ man¹²⁰ which⁸³⁴ sinneth²³⁹⁸ not,)³⁸⁰⁸ and thou be angry⁵⁹⁹ with them, and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them over before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ and they carry them away captives^{7617 7617} unto⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ far off⁷³⁵⁰ or¹⁷⁶ near;⁷¹³⁸

37  Yet if they bethink themselves^{7725 413 3824} in the land⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} they are carried captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ and pray²⁶⁰³ unto⁴¹³ thee in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ we have done amiss,⁵⁷⁵³ and have dealt wickedly;⁷⁵⁶¹

38  If they return⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart³⁸²⁰ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul⁵³¹⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ whither⁸³⁴ they have carried them captives,^{7617 853} and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ their land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers,¹ and toward the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and toward the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

39  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4349 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplications,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause,⁴⁹⁴¹ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

40  Now,⁶²⁵⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ let, I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ be¹⁹⁶¹ open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and let thine ears²⁴¹ be attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

41  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ into thy resting place,⁵¹¹⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and the ark⁷²⁷ of thy strength:⁵⁷⁹⁷ let thy priests,³⁵⁴⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ be clothed³⁸⁴⁷ with salvation,⁸⁶⁶⁸ and let thy saints²⁶²³ rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ in goodness.²⁸⁹⁶

42  O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ turn not away^{7725 408} the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of thine anointed:⁴⁸⁹⁹ remember²¹⁴² the mercies²⁶¹⁷ of David¹⁷³² thy servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

1 τότε εἶπεν Σαλωμων κύριος εἶπεν τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι ἐν γνόφῳ

2 καὶ ἐγὼ ᾠκοδόμηκα οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἅγιόν σοι καὶ ἕτοιμον τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας

3 καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὴν πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν Ισραηλ καὶ πᾶσα ἐκκλησία Ισραηλ παρειστήκει

4 καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ πρὸς Δαυιδ τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐν χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσεν λέγων

5 ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνήγαγον τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν πόλει ἀπὸ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τοῦ εἶναι ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν ἀνδρὶ τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ

6 καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Ιερουσαλημ γενέσθαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Δαυιδ ὥστε εἶναι ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ μου Ισραηλ

7 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ

8 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Δαυιδ πατέρα μου διότι ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου καλῶς ἐποίησας ὅτι ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν σου

9 πλὴν σὺ οὐκ οἰκοδομήσεις τὸν οἶκον ὅτι ὁ υἱός σου ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου οὗτος οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου

10 καὶ ἀνέστησεν κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ὃν ἐλάλησεν καὶ ἐγενήθην ἀντὶ Δαυιδ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκάθισα ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Ισραηλ καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος καὶ ᾠκοδόμησα τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ

11 καὶ ἔθηκα ἐκεῖ τὴν κιβωτόν ἐν ᾗ ἐκεῖ διαθήκη κυρίου ἣν διέθετο τῷ Ισραηλ

12 καὶ ἔστη κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ισραηλ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ

13 ὅτι ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων βάσιν χαλκῆν καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἱεροῦ πέντε πηχῶν τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ εὖρος αὐτῆς καὶ τριῶν πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς καὶ ἔστη ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ισραηλ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν

14 καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην καὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῖς παισίν σου τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐναντίον σου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ

15 ἃ ἐφύλαξας τῷ παιδί σου Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ λέγων καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐν στόματί σου καὶ ἐν χερσίν σου ἐπλήρωσας ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη

16 καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ φύλαξον τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ λέγων οὐκ ἐκλείψει σοι ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Ισραηλ πλὴν ἐὰν φυλάξωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν τῷ νόμῳ μου ὡς ἐπορεύθης ἐναντίον μου

17 καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ πιστωθήτω δὴ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ὃ ἐλάλησας τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Δαυιδ

18 ὅτι εἰ ἀληθῶς κατοικήσει θεὸς μετὰ ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐκ ἀρκέσουσίν σοι καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκος οὗτος ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα

19 καὶ ἐπιβλέψῃ ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν παιδός σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν δέησίν μου κύριε ὁ θεός τοῦ ἐπακοῦσαι τῆς δεήσεως καὶ τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς ὁ παῖς σου προσεύχεται ἐναντίον σου σήμερον

20 τοῦ εἶναι ὀφθαλμούς σου ἀνεῳγμένους ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον ὃν εἶπας ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐκεῖ τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς ὁ παῖς σου προσεύχεται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον

21 καὶ ἀκούσῃ τῆς δεήσεως τοῦ παιδός σου καὶ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ ἃ ἂν προσεύξωνται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῆς κατοικήσεώς σου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀκούσῃ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ

22 ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ ἀνὴρ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ λάβῃ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀρὰν τοῦ ἀρᾶσθαι αὐτόν καὶ ἔλθῃ καὶ ἀράσηται κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ

23 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ποιήσεις καὶ κρινεῖς τοὺς δούλους σου τοῦ ἀποδοῦναι τῷ ἀνόμῳ καὶ ἀποδοῦναι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ δικαιῶσαι δίκαιον τοῦ ἀποδοῦναι αὐτῷ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ

24 καὶ ἐὰν θραυσθῇ ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ κατέναντι τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐὰν ἁμάρτωσίν σοι καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἐξομολογήσωνται τῷ ὀνόματί σου καὶ προσεύξωνται καὶ δεηθῶσιν ἐναντίον σου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ

25 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ καὶ ἀποστρέψεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν

26 ἐν τῷ συσχεθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γενέσθαι ὑετόν ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ αἰνέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιστρέψουσιν ὅτι ταπεινώσεις αὐτούς

27 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τῶν παίδων σου καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ ὅτι δηλώσεις αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἀγαθήν ἐν ᾗ πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ δώσεις ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σου ἣν ἔδωκας τῷ λαῷ σου εἰς κληρονομίαν

28 λιμὸς ἐὰν γένηται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς θάνατος ἐὰν γένηται ἀνεμοφθορία καὶ ἴκτερος ἀκρὶς καὶ βροῦχος ἐὰν γένηται ἐὰν θλίψῃ αὐτὸν ὁ ἐχθρὸς κατέναντι τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν κατὰ πᾶσαν πληγὴν καὶ πᾶν πόνον

29 καὶ πᾶσα προσευχὴ καὶ πᾶσα δέησις ἣ ἐὰν γένηται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ παντὶ λαῷ σου Ισραηλ ἐὰν γνῷ ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἁφὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μαλακίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ διαπετάσῃ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον

30 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου καὶ ἱλάσῃ καὶ δώσεις ἀνδρὶ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς ἂν γνῷς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ὅτι μόνος γινώσκεις τὴν καρδίαν υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων

31 ὅπως φοβῶνται τὰς ὁδούς σου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς αὐτοὶ ζῶσιν ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν

32 καὶ πᾶς ἀλλότριος ὃς οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ ἐστὶν αὐτὸς καὶ ἔλθῃ ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν διὰ τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ μέγα καὶ τὴν χεῖρά σου τὴν κραταιὰν καὶ τὸν βραχίονά σου τὸν ὑψηλὸν καὶ ἔλθωσιν καὶ προσεύξωνται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον

33 καὶ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου καὶ ποιήσεις κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν ἐπικαλέσηταί σε ὁ ἀλλότριος ὅπως γνῶσιν πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τῆς γῆς τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ τοῦ φοβεῖσθαί σε ὡς ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ καὶ τοῦ γνῶναι ὅτι ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα

34 ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθῃ ὁ λαός σου εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ ᾗ ἀποστελεῖς αὐτούς καὶ προσεύξωνται πρὸς σὲ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πόλεως ταύτης ἣν ἐξελέξω ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου

35 καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν καὶ τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσεις τὸ δικαίωμα αὐτῶν

36 ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεται καὶ πατάξεις αὐτοὺς καὶ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐχθρῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτεύσουσιν οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἐχθρῶν εἰς γῆν μακρὰν ἢ ἐγγὺς

37 καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν οὗ μετήχθησαν ἐκεῖ καί γε ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ δεηθῶσίν σου ἐν τῇ αἰχμαλωσίᾳ αὐτῶν λέγοντες ἡμάρτομεν ἠδικήσαμεν ἠνομήσαμεν

38 καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ αἰχμαλωτευσάντων αὐτοὺς καὶ προσεύξωνται ὁδὸν γῆς αὐτῶν ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν καὶ τῆς πόλεως ἧς ἐξελέξω καὶ τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου

Vul

1 Tunc Salomon ait: Dominus pollicitus est ut habitaret in caligine:

2 ego autem ædificavi domum nomini ejus, ut habitaret ibi in perpetuum.

3 Et convertit rex faciem suam, et benedixit universæ multitudini Israël (nam omnis turba stabat intenta), et ait:

4 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui quod locutus est David patri meo, opere complevit, dicens:

5 A die qua eduxi populum meum de terra Ægypti, non elegi civitatem de cunctis tribubus Israël ut ædificaretur in ea domus nomini meo, neque elegi quemquam alium virum ut esset dux in populo Israël:

6 sed elegi Jerusalem ut sit nomen meum in ea, et elegi David ut constituerem eum super populum meum Israël.

7 Cumque fuisset voluntatis David patris mei ut ædificaret domum nomini Domini Dei Israël,

8 dixit Dominus ad eum: Quia hæc fuit voluntas tua, ut ædificares domum nomini meo, bene quidem fecisti hujuscemodi habere voluntatem:

9 sed non tu ædificabis domum: verum filius tuus, qui egredietur de lumbis tuis, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.

10 Complevit ergo Dominus sermonem suum quem locutus fuerat: et ego surrexi pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israël, sicut locutus est Dominus: et ædificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israël.

11 Et posui in ea arcam in qua est pactum Domini quod pepigit cum filiis Israël.

12 Stetit ergo coram altari Domini ex adverso universæ multitudinis Israël, et extendit manus suas.

13 Siquidem fecerat Salomon basim æneam, et posuerat eam in medio basilicæ, habentem quinque cubitos longitudinis, et quinque cubitos latitudinis, et tres cubitos altitudinis: stetitque super eam, et deinceps flexis genibus contra universam multitudinem Israël, et palmis in cælum levatis,

14 ait: Domine Deus Israël, non est similis tui deus in cælo et in terra: qui custodis pactum et misericordiam cum servis tuis qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo:

15 qui præstitisti servo tuo David patri meo quæcumque locutus fueras ei: et quæ ore promiseras, opere complesti, sicut et præsens tempus probat.

16 Nunc ergo Domine Deus Israël, imple servo tuo patri meo David quæcumque locutus es, dicens: Non deficiet ex te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israël: ita tamen si custodierint filii tui vias suas, et ambulaverint in lege mea, sicut et tu ambulasti coram me.

17 Et nunc Domine Deus Israël, firmetur sermo tuus quem locutus es servo tuo David.

18 Ergone credibile est ut habitet Deus cum hominibus super terram? si cælum et cæli cælorum non te capiunt, quanto magis domus ista quam ædificavi?

19 Sed ad hoc tantum facta est, ut respicias orationem servi tui, et obsecrationem ejus, Domine Deus meus, et audias preces quas fundit famulus tuus coram te:

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

21 et exaudires orationem quam servus tuus orat in eo: et exaudias preces famuli tui, et populi tui Israël. Quicumque oraverit in loco isto, exaudi de habitaculo tuo, id est, de cælis, et propitiare.

22 Si peccaverit quispiam in proximum suum, et jurare contra eum paratus venerit, seque maledicto constrinxerit coram altari in domo ista:

23 tu audies de cælo, et facies judicium servorum tuorum, ita ut reddas iniquo viam suam in caput proprium, et ulciscaris justum, retribuens ei secundum justitiam suam.

24 Si superatus fuerit populus tuus Israël ab inimicis (peccabunt enim tibi), et conversi egerint pœnitentiam, et obsecraverint nomen tuum, et fuerint deprecati in loco isto,

25 tu exaudies de cælo: et propitiare peccato populi tui Israël, et reduc eos in terram quam dedisti eis, et patribus eorum.

26 Si clauso cælo pluvia non fluxerit propter peccata populi, et deprecati te fuerint in loco isto, et confessi nomini tuo, et conversi a peccatis suis, cum eos afflixeris,

27 exaudi de cælo, Domine, et dimitte peccata servis tuis et populi tui Israël, et doce eos viam bonam, per quam ingrediantur: et da pluviam terræ quam dedisti populo tuo ad possidendum.

28 Fames si orta fuerit in terra, et pestilentia, ærugo, et aurugo, et locusta, et bruchus: et hostes, vastatis regionibus, portas obsederint civitatis, omnisque plaga et infirmitas presserit:

29 si quis de populo tuo Israël fuerit deprecatus, cognoscens plagam et infirmitatem suam, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,

30 tu exaudies de cælo, 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):

31 ut timeant te, et ambulent in viis tuis cunctis diebus quibus vivunt super faciem terræ quam dedisti patribus nostris.

32 Externum quoque, qui non est de populo tuo Israël, si venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum magnum, et propter manum tuam robustam, et brachium tuum extentum, et adoraverit in loco isto,

33 tu exaudies de cælo firmissimo habitaculo tuo, et facies cuncta pro quibus invocaverit te ille peregrinus: ut sciant omnes populi terræ nomen tuum, et timeant te sicut populus tuus Israël, et cognoscant quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc quam ædificavi.

34 Si egressus fuerit populus tuus ad bellum contra adversarios suos per viam in qua miseris eos, adorabunt te contra viam in qua civitas hæc est, quam elegisti, et domus quam ædificavi nomini tuo,

35 tu exaudies de cælo preces eorum, et obsecrationem: et ulciscaris.

36 Si autem peccaverint tibi (neque enim est homo qui non peccet), et iratus fueris eis, et tradideris hostibus, et captivos duxerint eos in terram longinquam, vel certe quæ juxta est,

37 et conversi in corde suo in terra ad quam captivi ducti fuerant, egerint pœnitentiam, et deprecati te fuerint in terra captivitatis suæ, dicentes: Peccavimus: inique fecimus, injuste egimus:

38 et reversi fuerint ad te in toto corde suo, et in tota anima sua, in terra captivitatis suæ ad quam ducti sunt, adorabunt te contra viam terræ suæ, quam dedisti patribus eorum, et urbis quam elegisti, et domus quam ædificavi nomini tuo:

39 tu exaudies de cælo, hoc est, de firmo habitaculo tuo, preces eorum: et facias judicium, et dimittas populo tuo, quamvis peccatori:

40 tu es enim Deus meus: aperiantur, quæso, oculi tui, et aures tuæ intentæ sint ad orationem quæ fit in loco isto.

41 Nunc igitur consurge, Domine Deus, in requiem tuam, tu et arca fortitudinis tuæ: sacerdotes tui, Domine Deus, induantur salutem, et sancti tui lætentur in bonis.

42 Domine Deus, ne averteris faciem christi tui: memento misericordiarum David servi tui.
