2 Crónicas 7

Diodati 1885

1ORA, quando Salomone ebbe finito di far la sua orazione, il fuoco scese dal cielo, e consumò l'olocausto, e gli altri sacrificii; e la gloria del Signore riempiè la Casa.

2E i sacerdoti non potevano entrar dentro alla Casa del Signore; perciocchè la gloria del Signore avea riempiuta la Casa del Signore.

3E tutti i figliuoli d'Israele, avendo veduto scendere il fuoco, e veggendo la gloria del Signore sopra la Casa, si prostesero con la faccia verso terra, sopra il pavimento, e adorarono, e si misero a celebrare il Signore, dicendo: Ch'egli è buono, e che la sua benignità è in eterno.

4E il re e tutto il popolo sacrificarono sacrificii nel cospetto del Signore.

5E il re Salomone fece un sacrificio di ventiduemila buoi, e di cenventimila pecore. E così il re e tutto il popolo dedicarono la Casa di Dio.

6E i sacerdoti stavano quivi facendo i loro ufficii; come anche i Leviti con gli strumenti musicali del Signore, i quali il re Davide avea fatti per celebrare il Signore, dicendo: Che la sua benignità è in eterno; avendo i salmi di Davide in mano; i sacerdoti ancora sonavano con le trombe dirimpetto a loro; e tutto Israele stava in piè.

7E Salomone consacrò il mezzo del Cortile, ch'era davanti alla Casa del Signore; perciocchè offerse quivi gli olocausti, e i grassi de' sacrificii da render grazie; perciocchè nell'Altar di rame, che Salomone avea fatto, non potevano capir gli olocausti, e le offerte, ed i grassi.

8E in quel tempo Salomone celebrò la festa solenne per sette giorni, insieme con tutto Israele, ch'era una grandissima raunanza, raccolta dall'entrar di Hamat fino al torrente di Egitto.

9E l'ottavo giorno appresso, celebrarono la solenne raunanza; perciocchè per sette giorni aveano celebrata la dedicazione dell'Altare, e per sette altri giorni celebrarono la festa solenne.

10E nel ventesimoterzo giorno del settimo mese, Salomone rimandò alle sue stanze il popolo allegro e lieto di cuore, per lo bene che il Signore avea fatto a Davide ed a Salomone, ed al suo popolo Israele.

11ORA, dopo che Salomone ebbe finita la Casa del Signore, e la casa reale, ed ebbe avuta prospera riuscita di tutto ciò che gli venne in cuore di far nella Casa del Signore, e nella sua casa,

12il Signore gli apparve di notte, e gli disse: Io ho esaudita la tua orazione, e mi ho eletto questo luogo per Casa di sacrificio.

13Se io serro il cielo, talchè non vi sia pioggia; ovvero, se comando alle locuste di mangiar la terra; ovvero, se mando la pestilenza fra il mio popolo;

14e il mio popolo, il quale è chiamato del mio Nome, si umilia, e mi fa orazione, e ricerca la mia faccia, e si converte dalle sue vie malvage; io l'esaudirò dal cielo, e gli perdonerò i suoi peccati, e risanerò il suo paese.

15Ora saranno gli occhi miei aperti, e le mie orecchie attente alle orazioni fatte in questo luogo.

16Ed ora io ho eletta e santificata questa Casa, acciocchè il mio Nome sia quivi in perpetuo; e gli occhi miei ed il mio cuore saranno del continuo là.

17E quant'è a te, se tu cammini nel mio cospetto, come è camminato Davide, tuo padre, per far tutto quello che io ti ho comandato, ed osservi i miei statuti e le mie leggi,

18io altresì stabilirò il trono del tuo reame, come io ho patteggiato con Davide, tuo padre, dicendo: Non ti verrà giammai meno uomo che signoreggi sopra Israele.

19Ma, se voi vi rivolgete indietro, ed abbandonate i miei statuti, ed i miei comandamenti, i quali io vi ho proposti, e andate a servire ad altri dii, e li adorate;

20io vi divellerò d'in su la mia terra che io vi ho data, e rigetterò dal mio cospetto questa Casa che io ho consacrata al mio Nome, e la metterò in proverbio ed in favola fra tutti i popoli.

21E questa Casa che sarà stata eccelsa, sarà in istupore a tutti coloro che passeranno appresso di essa; ed essi diranno: Perchè ha fatto il Signore così a questo paese ed a questa Casa?

22E si dirà: Perciocchè hanno abbandonato il Signore Iddio de' lor padri, il quale li trasse fuor del paese di Egitto, e si sono attenuti ad altri dii, e li hanno adorati, ed hanno lor servito: per ciò egli ha fatto venire sopra loro tutto questo male.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y COMO Salomón acabó de orar, el fuego descendió de los cielos, y consumió el holocausto y las víctimas; y la gloria de Jehová hinchió la casa.

2Y no podían entrar los sacerdotes en la casa de Jehová, porque la gloria de Jehová había henchido la casa de Jehová.

3Y como vieron todos los hijos de Israel descender el fuego y la gloria de Jehová sobre la casa, cayeron en tierra sobre sus rostros en el pavimento, y adoraron, confesando á Jehová y diciendo: Que es bueno, que su misericordia es para siempre.

4Entonces el rey y todo el pueblo sacrificaron víctimas delante de Jehová.

5Y ofreció el rey Salomón en sacrificio veinte y dos mil bueyes, y ciento veinte mil ovejas; y así dedicaron la casa de Dios el rey y todo el pueblo.

6Y los sacerdotes asistían en su ministerio; y los Levitas con los instrumentos de música de Jehová, los cuales había hecho el rey David para confesar á Jehová, que su misericordia es para siempre; cuando David alababa por mano de ellos. Asimismo los sacerdotes tañían trompetas delante de ellos, y todo Israel estaba en pie.

7También santificó Salomón el medio del atrio que estaba delante de la casa de Jehová, por cuanto había ofrecido allí los holocaustos, y los sebos de los pacíficos; porque en el altar de bronce que Salomón había hecho, no podían caber los holocaustos, y el presente, y los sebos.

8Entonces hizo Salomón fiesta siete días, y con él todo Israel, una grande congregación, desde la entrada de Hamath hasta el arroyo de Egipto.

9Al octavo día hicieron convocación, porque habían hecho la dedicación del altar en siete días, y habían celebrado la solemnidad por siete días.

10Y á los veintitrés del mes séptimo envió al pueblo á sus estancias, alegres y gozosos de corazón por los beneficios que Jehová había hecho á David, y á Salomón, y á su pueblo Israel.

11Acabó pues Salomón la casa de Jehová, y la casa del rey: y todo lo que Salomón tuvo en voluntad de hacer en la casa de Jehová y en su casa, fué prosperado.

12Y apareció Jehová á Salomón de noche, y díjole: Yo he oído tu oración, y he elegido para mí este lugar por casa de sacrificio.

13Si yo cerrare los cielos, que no haya lluvia, y si mandare á la langosta que consuma la tierra, ó si enviare pestilencia á mi pueblo;

14Si se humillare mi pueblo, sobre los cuales ni nombre es invocado, y oraren, y buscaren mi rostro, y se convirtieren de sus malos caminos; entonces yo oiré desde los cielos, y perdonaré sus pecados, y sanaré su tierra.

15Ahora estarán abiertos mis ojos, y atentos mis oídos, á la oración en este lugar:

16Pues que ahora he elegido y santificado esta casa, para que esté en ella mi nombre para siempre; y mis ojos y mi corazón estarán ahí para siempre.

17Y tú, si anduvieres delante de mí, como anduvo David tu padre, é hicieres todas las cosas que yo te he mandado, y guardares mis estatutos y mis derechos,

18Yo confirmaré el trono de tu reino, como concerté con David tu padre, diciendo: No faltará varón de ti que domine en Israel.

19Mas si vosotros os volviereis, y dejareis mis estatutos y mis preceptos que os he propuesto, y fuereis y sirviereis á dioses ajenos, y los adorareis,

20Yo los arrancaré de mi tierra que les he dado; y esta casa que he santificado á mi nombre, yo la echaré de delante de mí, y pondréla por proverbio y fábula en todos los pueblos.

21Y esta casa que habrá sido ilustre, será espanto á todo el que pasare, y dirá: ¿Por qué ha hecho así Jehová á esta tierra y á esta casa?

22Y se responderá: Por cuanto dejaron á Jehová Dios de sus padres, el cual los sacó de la tierra de Egipto, y han abrazado dioses ajenos, y los adoraron y sirvieron: por eso él ha traído todo este mal sobre ellos.

King James Version

1Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

2And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’s house.

3And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

5And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

7Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.

8Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.

9And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

11Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

12And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

13If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

16For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

17And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;

18Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

19But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

21And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?

22And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

World English Bible

1Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.

2The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.

3All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”

4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.

6The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.

7Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.

8So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.

9On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

11Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.

12Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.

13“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people,

14if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.

16For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.

17“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,

18then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’

19But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,

20then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

21This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’

22They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
