8：16他说，自从我领我民以色列出埃及以来，我未曾在以色列各支派中选择一城建造殿宇为我名的居所，但拣选大卫治理我民以色列。
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt； I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house； that my name might be therein； but I chose David to be over my people Israel。
8：17所罗门说，我父大卫曾立意，要为耶和华以色列神的名建殿。
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel。
8：18耶和华却对我父大卫说，你立意为我的名建殿，这意思甚好。
And the LORD said unto David my father； Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name； thou didst well that it was in thine heart。
8：19只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿。
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house； but thy son that shall e forth out of thy loins； he shall build the house unto my name。
8：20现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话，使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位，又为耶和华以色列神的名建造了殿。
And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake； and I am risen up in the room of David my father； and sit on the throne of Israel； as the LORD promised； and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel。
8：21我也在其中为约柜预备一处。约柜内有耶和华的约，就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候，与他们所立的约。
And I have set there a place for the ark； wherein is the covenant of the LORD； which he made with our fathers； when he brought them out of the land of Egypt。
8：22所罗门当着以色列会众，站在耶和华的坛前，向天举手说，
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel； and spread forth his hands toward heaven：
8：23耶和华以色列的神阿，天上地下没有神可比你的。你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱。
And he said； LORD God of Israel； there is no God like thee； in heaven above； or on earth beneath； who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart：
8：24向你仆人我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了。你亲口应许，亲手成就，正如今日一样。
Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him： thou spakest also with thy mouth； and hast fulfilled it with thine hand； as it is this day。
8：25耶和华以色列的神阿，你所应许你仆人我父大卫的话说，你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，在我面前行事像你所行的一样，就不断人坐以色列的国位。现在求你应验这话。
Therefore now； LORD God of Israel； keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him； saying； There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel； so that thy children take heed to their way； that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me。
8：26以色列的神阿，求你成就向你仆人我父大卫所应许的话。
And now； O God of Israel； let thy word； I pray thee； be verified； which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father。
8：27神果真住在地上吗。看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢。
But will God indeed dwell on the earth？ behold； the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee； how much less this house that I have builded？
8：28惟求耶和华我的神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求，俯听仆人今日在你面前的祈祷呼吁。
Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant； and to his supplication； O LORD my God； to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer； which thy servant prayeth before thee to day：
8：29愿你昼夜看顾这殿，就是你应许立为你名的居所。求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话。
That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day； even toward the place of which thou hast said； My name shall be there： that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place。
8：30你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候，求你在天上你的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant； and of thy people Israel； when they shall pray toward this place： and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place： and when thou hearest； forgive。
8：31人若得罪邻舍，有人叫他起誓，他来到这殿在你的坛前起誓，
If any man trespass against his neighbour； and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear； and the oath e before thine altar in this house：
8：32求你在天上垂听，判断你的仆人，定恶人有罪，照他所行的报应在他头上。定义人有理，照他的义赏赐他。
Then hear thou in heaven； and do； and judge thy servants； condemning the wicked； to bring his way upon his head； and justifying the righteous； to give him according to his righteousness。
8：33你的民以色列若得罪你，败在仇敌面前，又归向你，承认你的名，在这殿里祈求祷告，
When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy； because they have sinned against thee； and shall turn again to thee； and confess thy name； and pray； and make supplication unto thee in this house：
8：34求你在天上垂听，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他们归回你赐给他们列祖之地。
Then hear thou in heaven； and forgive the sin of thy people Israel； and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers。
8：35你的民因得罪你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨。他们若向此处祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪，
When heaven is shut up； and there is no rain； because they have sinned against thee； if they pray toward this place； and confess thy name； and turn from their sin； when thou afflictest them：
8：36求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人以色列民的罪，将当行的善道指教他们，且降雨在你的地，就是你赐给你民为业之地。
Then hear thou in heaven； and forgive the sin of thy servants； and of thy people Israel； that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk； and give rain upon thy land； which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance。
8：37国中若有饥荒，瘟疫，旱风，霉烂，蝗虫，蚂蚱，或有仇敌犯境围困城邑，无论遭遇什么灾祸疾病，
If there be in the land famine； if there be pestilence； blasting； mildew； locust； or if there be caterpiller； if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities； whatsoever plague； whatsoever sickness there be；
8：38你的民以色列，或是众人，或是一人，自觉有罪（原文作灾），向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么，
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man； or by all thy people Israel； which shall know every man the plague of his own heart； and spread forth his hands toward this house：
8：39求你在天上你的居所垂听赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他们，（惟有你知道世人的心），
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place； and forgive； and do； and give to every man according to his ways； whose heart thou knowest； （for thou； even thou only； knowest the hearts of all the children of men；）
8：40使他们在你赐给我们列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你。
That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers。
8：41论到不属你民以色列的外邦人，为你名从远方而来，
Moreover concerning a stranger； that is not of thy people Israel； but eth out of a far country for thy name's sake；
8：42（他们听人论说你的大名和大能的手，并伸出来的膀臂）向这殿祷告，
（For they shall hear of thy great name； and of thy strong hand； and of thy stretched out arm；） when he shall e and pray toward this house；
8：43求你在天上你的居所垂听，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下万民都认识你的名，敬畏你像你的民以色列一样。又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的。
Hear thou in heaven 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； to fear thee； as do thy people Israel； and that they may know that this house； which I have builded； is called by thy name。
8：44你的民若奉你的差遣，无论往何处去与仇敌争战，向耶和华所选择的城与我为你名所建造的殿祷告，
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy； whithersoever thou shalt send them； and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen； and toward the house that I have built for thy name：
8：45求你在天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。
Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication； and maintain their cause。
8：46你的民若得罪你（世上没有不犯罪的人），你向他们发怒，将他们交给仇敌掳到仇敌之地，或远或近，
If they sin against thee； （for there is no man that sinneth not；） and thou be angry with them； and deliver them to the enemy； so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy； far or near；
8：47他们若在掳到之地想起罪来，回心转意，恳求你说，我们有罪了，我们悖逆了，我们作恶了。
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives； and repent； and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives； saying； We have sinned； and have done perversely； we have mitted wickedness；
8：48他们若在掳到之地尽心尽性归服你，又向自己的地，就是你赐给他们列祖之地和你所选择的城，并我为你名所建造的殿祷告，
And so return unto thee with all their heart； and with all their soul； in the land of their enemies； which led them away captive； and pray unto thee toward their land； which thou gavest unto their fathers； the city which thou hast chosen； and the house which I have built for thy name：
8：49求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤。
Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place； and maintain their cause；
8：50饶恕得罪你的民，赦免他们的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜恤。
And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee； and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee； and give them passion before them who carried them captive； that they may have passion on them：
8：51因为他们是你的子民
