Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.
*H Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a cloud.
Ver. 1. Cloud: lit. "darkness." H. — The promise had been made to Moses. Ex. xvi. 10. and xl 32. C. — God thus manifested his presence. W.
Τότε εἰπε Σαλωμὼν, Κύριος εἶπε τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι ἐν γνόφῳ,

6:2 ego autem aedificavi domum nomini ejus, ut habitaret ibi in perpetuum.
But I have built a house to his name, that he might dwell there for ever.
καὶ ἐγὼ ᾠκοδόμηκα οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἅγιόν σοι καὶ ἕτοιμον τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

6:3 Et convertit rex faciem suam, et benedixit universae multitudini Israel (nam omnis turba stabat intenta), et ait :
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the multitude of Israel for all the multitude stood attentive and he said:
Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησε τὴν πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰσραὴλ παρειστήκει,

6:4 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui quod locutus est David patri meo, opere complevit, dicens :
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying:
καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὡς ἐλάλησεν ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ πρὸς Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ἐν χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσε, λέγων,
וַ/יֹּ֗אמֶר בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁר֙ דִּבֶּ֣ר בְּ/פִ֔י/ו אֵ֖ת דָּוִ֣יד אָבִ֑/י וּ/בְ/יָדָ֥י/ו מִלֵּ֖א לֵ/אמֹֽר
6:5 A die qua eduxi populum meum de terra Aegypti, non elegi civitatem de cunctis tribubus Israel ut aedificaretur in ea domus nomini meo, neque elegi quemquam alium virum ut esset dux in populo Israel :
From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel.
ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνήγαγον τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν πόλει ἀπὸ πασῶν φυλῶν Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τοῦ εἶναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν ἀνδρὶ τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ·
מִן הַ/יּ֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר הוֹצֵ֣אתִי אֶת עַמִּ/י֮ מֵ/אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַיִם֒ לֹא בָחַ֣רְתִּֽי בְ/עִ֗יר מִ/כֹּל֙ שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִ/בְנ֣וֹת בַּ֔יִת לִ/הְי֥וֹת שְׁמִ֖/י שָׁ֑ם וְ/לֹא בָחַ֣רְתִּֽי בְ/אִ֔ישׁ לִ/הְי֥וֹת נָגִ֖יד עַל עַמִּ֥/י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
6:6 sed elegi Jerusalem ut sit nomen meum in ea, et elegi David ut constituerem eum super populum meum Israel.
But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him over my people Israel.
Καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ γενέσθαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Δαυὶδ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ.

6:7 Cumque fuisset voluntatis David patris mei ut aedificaret domum nomini Domini Dei Israel,
And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός μου, τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
וַ/יְהִ֕י עִם לְבַ֖ב דָּוִ֣יד אָבִ֑/י לִ/בְנ֣וֹת בַּ֔יִת לְ/שֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
6:8 dixit Dominus ad eum : Quia haec fuit voluntas tua, ut aedificares domum nomini meo, bene quidem fecisti hujuscemodi habere voluntatem :
The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Δαυὶδ πατέρα μου, διότι ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου, καλῶς ἐποίησας, ὅτι ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου.
וַ/יֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל דָּוִ֣יד אָבִ֔/י יַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָיָה֙ עִם לְבָ֣בְ/ךָ֔ לִ/בְנ֥וֹת בַּ֖יִת לִ/שְׁמִ֑/י הֱֽטִיב֔וֹתָ כִּ֥י הָיָ֖ה עִם לְבָבֶֽ/ךָ
6:9 sed non tu aedificabis domum : verum filius tuus, qui egredietur de lumbis tuis, ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo.
But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
Πλὴν σὺ οὐκ οἰκοδομήσεις τὸν οἶκον, ὅτι ὁ υἱός σου ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου, οὗτος οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου.

6:10 Complevit ergo Dominus sermonem suum quem locutus fuerat : et ego surrexi pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israel, sicut locutus est Dominus : et aedificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israel.
The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
Καὶ ἀνέστησε Κύριος τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, ὃν ἐλάλησε, καὶ ἐγενήθην ἀντὶ Δαυὶδ πατρός μου, καὶ ἐκάθισα ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Ἰσραὴλ, καθὼς ἐλάλησε Κύριος· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησα τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,

6:11 Et posui in ea arcam in qua est pactum Domini quod pepigit cum filiis Israel.
And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel.
καὶ ἔθηκα ἐκεῖ τὴν κιβωτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἐκεῖ διαθήκη Κυρίου, ἣν διέθετο τῷ Ἰσραήλ.

6:12 Stetit ergo coram altari Domini ex adverso universae multitudinis Israel, et extendit manus suas.
*H And he stood before the altar of the Lord, in presence of all the multitude of Israel, and stretched forth his hands.
Ver. 12. Hands. Such external gestures promote attention in prayer; and hence were much used by holy people, at all times. W.
Καὶ ἔστη κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου Κυρίου ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ διεπέτασε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ·
וַֽ/יַּעֲמֹ֗ד לִ/פְנֵי֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה נֶ֖גֶד כָּל קְהַ֣ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַ/יִּפְרֹ֖שׂ כַּפָּֽי/ו
6:13 Siquidem fecerat Salomon basim aeneam, et posuerat eam in medio basilicae, habentem quinque cubitos longitudinis, et quinque cubitos latitudinis, et tres cubitos altitudinis : stetitque super eam, et deinceps flexis genibus contra universam multitudinem Israel, et palmis in caelum levatis,
*H For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and had set it in the midst of the temple, which was five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it: then kneeling down in the presence of all the multitude of Israel, and lifting up his hands towards heaven,
Ver. 13. Scaffold, (basim.) The Heb. (kiyor) is used for "a shell, (concha. T.) or bowl," as the throne was probably of the same form, and was placed on a square pedestal, at the higher end of the court of the people, (C.) which is here styled the temple, (basilicæ) or "hall." C. iv. 9. Sept. αυλης. Heb. chatsar, which denotes that great court where (H.) the body of the people stood bare-headed, before the Lord, (Grot. &c. C. xx. 5.) in the open air. D. — We are assured that the king himself never sat in his tribune. C. — Others reserve that privilege to him alone. H. — While he addressed the people, he turned towards them.
Ὅτι ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν βάσιν χαλκῆν, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἱεροῦ, πέντε πήχεων τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς, καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ εὖρος αὐτῆς, καὶ τριῶν πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔστη ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ διεπέτασε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν,

6:14 ait : Domine Deus Israel, 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 :
He said: O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven nor in earth: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
'καὶ εἶπε,
וַ/יֹּאמַ֗ר יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֵין כָּמ֣וֹ/ךָ אֱלֹהִ֔ים בַּ/שָּׁמַ֖יִם וּ/בָ/אָ֑רֶץ שֹׁמֵ֤ר הַ/בְּרִית֙ וְֽ/הַ/חֶ֔סֶד לַ/עֲבָדֶ֕י/ךָ הַ/הֹלְכִ֥ים לְ/פָנֶ֖י/ךָ בְּ/כָל לִבָּֽ/ם
6:15 qui praestitisti servo tuo David patri meo quaecumque locutus fueras ei : et quae ore promiseras, opere complesti, sicut et praesens tempus probat.
Who hast performed to thy servant David my father all that thou hast promised him: and hast accomplished in fact, what thou hast spoken with thy mouth, as also the present time proveth.
Ἃ ἐφύλαξας τῷ παιδί σου Δαυὶδ τῷ πατρί μου, ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ, λέγων· καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐν στόματί σου, καὶ ἐν χερσί σου ἐπλήρωσας, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.
אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁמַ֗רְתָּ לְ/עַבְדְּ/ךָ֙ דָּוִ֣יד אָבִ֔/י אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ ל֑/וֹ וַ/תְּדַבֵּ֥ר בְּ/פִ֛י/ךָ וּ/בְ/יָדְ/ךָ֥ מִלֵּ֖אתָ כַּ/יּ֥וֹם הַ/זֶּֽה
6:16 Nunc ergo Domine Deus Israel, imple servo tuo patri meo David quaecumque locutus es, dicens : Non deficiet ex te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israel : ita tamen si custodierint filii tui vias suas, et ambulaverint in lege mea, sicut et tu ambulasti coram me.
Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfil to thy servant David my father, whatsoever 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 ways, and walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
Καὶ νῦν, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, φύλαξον τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Δαυὶδ τῷ πατρί μου ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ, λέγων, οὐκ ἐκλείψει σοι ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Ἰσραὴλ, πλὴν ἐὰν φυλάξωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν τῷ νόμῳ μου, ὡς ἐπορεύθης ἐναντίον μου.

6:17 Et nunc Domine Deus Israel, firmetur sermo tuus quem locutus es servo tuo David.
And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy word be established which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.
Καὶ νῦν, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, πιστωθήτω δὴ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ὃ ἐλάλησας τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Δαυίδ.
וְ/עַתָּ֕ה יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יֵֽאָמֵן֙ דְּבָ֣רְ/ךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לְ/עַבְדְּ/ךָ֥ לְ/דָוִֽיד
6:18 Ergone credibile est ut habitet Deus cum hominibus super terram ? si caelum et caeli caelorum non te capiunt, quanto magis domus ista quam aedificavi ?
Is it credible then that God should dwell with men on the earth? If heaven and the heavens of heavens do not contain thee, how much less this house, which I have built?
Ὅτι εἰ ἀληθῶς κατοικήσει Θεὸς μετὰ ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς; εἰ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐκ ἀρκέσουσί σοι, καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκος οὗτος ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα;
כִּ֚י הַֽ/אֻמְנָ֔ם יֵשֵׁ֧ב אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת הָ/אָדָ֖ם עַל הָ/אָ֑רֶץ הִ֠נֵּה שָׁמַ֜יִם וּ/שְׁמֵ֤י הַ/שָּׁמַ֨יִם֙ לֹ֣א יְכַלְכְּל֔וּ/ךָ אַ֕ף כִּֽי הַ/בַּ֥יִת הַ/זֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנִֽיתִי
6:19 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 :
*H But to this end only it is made, that thou mayest regard the prayer of thy servant and his supplication, O Lord my God: and mayest hear the prayers which thy servant poureth out before thee.
Ver. 19. End. Temples are erected for the convenience of men. C. — Solomon hopes that God will reward his good intentions.
Καὶ ἐπιβλέψῃ ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν παιδός σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν δέησίν μου, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς, τοῦ ἐπακοῦσαι τῆς δεήσεως καὶ τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς ὁ παῖς σου προσεύχεται ἐναντίον σου σήμερον,

6:20 ut aperias oculos tuos super domum istam diebus ac noctibus, super locum in quo pollicitus es ut invocaretur nomen tuum,
That thou mayest open thy eyes upon this house day and night, upon the place wherein thou hast promised that thy name should be called upon,
τοῦ εἶναι ὀφθαλμούς σου ἀνεῳγμένους ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, ὃν εἶπας ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐκεῖ, τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς προσεύχεται ὁ παῖς σου εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον·

6:21 et exaudires orationem quam servus tuus orat in eo : et exaudias preces famuli tui, et populi tui Israel. Quicumque oraverit in loco isto, exaudi de habitaculo tuo, id est, de caelis, et propitiare.
And that thou wouldst hear the prayer which thy servant prayeth in it: hearken then to the prayers of thy servant, and of thy people Israel. Whosoever shall pray in its place, hear thou from thy dwelling place, that is, from heaven, and shew mercy.
Καὶ ἀκούσῃ τῆς δεήσεως τοῦ παιδός σου, καὶ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ, ἃ ἂν προσεύξωνται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον· καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῆς κατοικήσεώς σου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἀκούσῃ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ.

6:22 Si peccaverit quispiam in proximum suum, et jurare contra eum paratus venerit, seque maledicto constrinxerit coram altari in domo ista :
*H If any man sin against his neighbour, and come to swear against him, and bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house:
Ver. 22. Altar; thus solemnly consenting to be punished by God, if he swear falsely. H. — This practice was not prescribed by the law, but took place when witnesses could not be procured, or when it was necessary to rely on the word of the accused.
Ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ ἀνὴρ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ λάβῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἀρὰν τοῦ ἀρᾶσθαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλθῃ καὶ ἀράσηται κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ,

6:23 tu audies de caelo, et facies judicium servorum tuorum, ita ut reddas iniquo viam suam in caput proprium, et ulciscaris justum, retribuens ei secundum justitiam suam.
Then hear thou from heaven, and do justice to thy servants, so to requite the wicked by making his wickedness fall upon his own head, and to revenge the just, rewarding him according to his justice.
καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ποιήσεις, καὶ κρινεῖς τοὺς δούλους σου, τοῦ ἀποδοῦναι τῷ ἀνόμῳ, καὶ ἀποδοῦναι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ δικαιῶσαι δίκαιον, τοῦ ἀποδοῦναι αὐτῷ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ.

6:24 Si superatus fuerit populus tuus Israel ab inimicis (peccabunt enim tibi), et conversi egerint poenitentiam, et obsecraverint nomen tuum, et fuerint deprecati in loco isto,
If thy people Israel be overcome by their enemies, (for they will sin against thee,) and being converted shall do penance, and call upon thy name, and pray to thee in this place,
Καὶ ἐὰν θραυσθῇ ὁ λαός σου Ἰσραὴλ κατέναντι τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, ἐὰν ἁμάρτωσί σοι, καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσι καὶ ἐξομολογήσωνται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ προσεύξωνται καὶ δεηθῶσιν ἐναντίον σου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ,

6:25 tu exaudies de caelo : et propitiare peccato populi tui Israel, et reduc eos in terram quam dedisti eis, et patribus eorum.
Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel and bring them back into the land which thou gavest to them, and their fathers.
καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀποστρέψεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν.

6:26 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 afflixeris,
If the heavens be shut up, and there fall no rain by reason of the sin of the people, and they shall pray to thee in this place, and confess to thy name, and be converted from their sins, where thou dost afflict them,
Ἐν τῷ συσχεθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γενέσθαι ὑετὸν, ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι, καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ αἰνέσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιστρέψουσιν, ὅτι ταπεινώσεις αὐτοὺς,

6:27 exaudi de caelo, Domine, et dimitte peccata servis tuis et populi tui Israel, et doce eos viam bonam, per quam ingrediantur : et da pluviam terrae quam dedisti populo tuo ad possidendum.
Then hear thou from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of thy servants and of thy people Israel and teach them the good way in which they may walk: and give rain to thy land which thou hast given to thy people to possess.
καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τῶν παίδων καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι δηλώσεις αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἀγαθὴν, ἐν ᾗ πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ δώσεις ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σου, ἣν ἔδωκας τῷ λαῷ σου εἰς κληρονομίαν.

6:28 Fames si orta fuerit in terra, et pestilentia, aerugo, et aurugo, et locusta, et bruchus : et hostes, vastatis regionibus, portas obsederint civitatis, omnisque plaga et infirmitas presserit :
*H If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence or blasting, or mildew, or locusts, or caterpillars: or if their enemies waste the country, and besiege the cities, whatsoever scourge or infirmity shall be upon them:
Ver. 28. Blasting, or mildew, (ærugo & aurugo.) The first has the colour of brass, the other of gold. both have nearly the same import. M. — One of the terms is rendered, corrupt air; (3 K. viii. 37. C.) as this is one of the great causes why both plants and animals do not thrive. Sept. "corruption of the air and king's evil, or yellow jaundice:" ικτερος. H.
Λιμὸς ἐὰν γένηται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, θάνατος ἐὰν γένηται, ἀνεμοφθορία καὶ ἴκτερος, ἀκρὶς καὶ βροῦχος ἐὰν γένηται, καὶ ἐὰν θλίψῃ αὐτὸν ὁ ἐχθρὸς κατέναντι τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν, κατὰ πᾶσαν πληγὴν καὶ πάντα πόνον,

6:29 si quis de populo tuo Israel fuerit deprecatus, cognoscens plagam et infirmitatem suam, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,
*H Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,
Ver. 29. Any. Heb. adds, "man, or thy people." Sept. "and (that is) to thy." See v. 32. H. — Both strangers and Israelites may there sue for mercy, and obtain it. C. — From this chapter, as well as from many other passages, it is evident that places consecrated to God, are more acceptable to him than other places; (W.) and here the prayers of the faithful are sooner heard, as they testify their unity. D.
καὶ πᾶσα προσευχὴ, καὶ πᾶσα δέησις ἣ ἐὰν γένηται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ παντὶ λαῷ σου Ἰσραὴλ, ἐὰν γνῷ ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἁφὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μαλακίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ διαπετάσῃ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον,

Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to have in his heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:
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,

*H That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
Ver. 31. Fear thee, being filled with awe at the sight of thy judgments. C.

6:32 Externum quoque, qui non est de populo tuo Israel, si venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum magnum, et propter manum tuam robustam, et brachium tuum extentum, et adoraverit in loco isto,
If the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, come from a far country, for the sake of thy great name, and thy strong hand, and thy stretched out arm, and adore in this place:
Καὶ πᾶς ἀλλότριος ὃς οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ ἐστιν 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 ἔλθωσι καὶ προσεύξωνται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον,

6:33 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 Israel, et cognoscant quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc quam aedificavi.
*H Hear thou from heaven thy firm dwelling place, and do all that which that stranger shall call upon thee for: that all the people of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee, as thy people Israel, and may know, that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.
Ver. 33. House, that they may know that this is not only called, but is, in effect, the temple of the Lord, where he will display his power and goodness. H.
καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου, καὶ ποιήσεις κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐπικαλέσηταί σε ὁ ἀλλότριος, ὅπως γνῶσι πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τῆς γῆς τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ τοῦ φοβεῖσθαί σε, ὡς ὁ λαός σου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τοῦ γνῶναι ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικέκληται ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα.

If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by the way that thou shalt send them, and adore thee towards the way of this city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:
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 ᾠκοδόμηκα τῷ ὀνόματί σου,

Then hear thou from heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and revenge them.

3_Kings
8:46
But if they sin against thee, (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry, deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies, far or near;

1_John
1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
And if they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them up to their enemies, and they lead them away captive to a land either afar off, or near at hand,
Ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι, ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεται, καὶ πατάξεις αὐτοὺς καὶ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐχθρῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτεύσουσιν αὐτοὺς οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἐχθρῶν εἰς γῆν μακρὰν ἢ ἐγγὺς,

6:37 et conversi in corde suo in terra ad quam captivi ducti fuerant, egerint poenitentiam, et deprecati te fuerint in terra captivitatis suae, dicentes : Peccavimus : inique fecimus, injuste egimus :
And if they be converted in their heart in the land to which they were led captive, and do penance, and pray to thee in the land of their captivity saying: We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have dealt unjustly:
καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσι καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν οὗ μετήχθησαν ἐκεῖ, καί γε ἐπιστρέψωσι καὶ δεηθῶσί σου ἐν τῇ αἰχμαλωσίᾳ αὐτῶν, λέγοντες, ἡμάρτομεν, ἠνομήσαμεν, ἠδικήσαμεν,

6:38 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 :
*H And return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to which they were led away, and adore thee towards the way of their own land which thou gavest their fathers, and of the city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:
Ver. 38. Name. Hence arose the custom of turning towards Jerusalem and the temple, when the Jews poured forth their supplications, in any country. 3 K. viii. 44.
καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσι πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ αἰχμαλωτευσάντων αὐτοὺς, ὅπου ᾐχμαλώτευσαν αὐτοὺς, καὶ προσεύξωνται ὁδὸν γῆς αὐτῶν ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ τῆς πόλεως ἧς ἐξελέξω, καὶ τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου,

6:39 tu exaudies de caelo, hoc est, de firmo habitaculo tuo, preces eorum : et facias judicium, et dimittas populo tuo, quamvis peccatori :
Then hear thou from heaven, that is, from thy firm dwelling place, their prayers, and do judgment, and forgive thy people, although they have sinned:
καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτῶν καὶ τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν, καὶ ποιήσεις κρίματα, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ τῷ λαῷ τῷ ἁμαρτῶντί σοι.

6:40 tu es enim Deus meus : aperiantur, quaeso, oculi tui, et aures tuae intentae sint ad orationem quae fit in loco isto.
For thou art my God: let thy eyes, I beseech thee, be open, and let thy ears be attentive to the prayer, that is made in this place.
Καὶ νῦν Κύριε ἔστωσαν δὴ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἀνεῳγμένοι, καὶ τὰ ὦτά σου ἐπήκοα εἰς τὴν δέησιν τοῦ τόπου τούτου.

Psalms
131:8
Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.
*H Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, put on salvation, and thy saints rejoice in good things.
Ver. 41. Now, therefore. This is taken from Ps. cxxxi. 8. 9. 10. (M.) almost word for word. We do not find that Solomon spoke this, 3 K. C. — Place: lit. "rest." H. — Come, O Lord, and dwell here. — Strength, by which thy wonders shine forth, and thy enemies are dismayed. The ark is styled the strength of Israel, Ps. lxxvii. 61. and lxii. 3.; and in the parallel passage we read, Thou and the ark of thy sanctification, or sanctuary, which is its highest ornament, and which thou hast sanctified, or required to be treated with respect. — Salvation, or justice, (Ps. cxxxi.) which is the surest method of obtaining happiness.
Καὶ νῦν ἀνάστηθι Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν σου, σὺ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς ἰσχύος σου· ἱερεῖς σου Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἐνδύσαιντο σωτηρίαν, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου εὐφρανθήτωσαν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς.
וְ/עַתָּ֗ה קוּמָ֞/ה יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ לְֽ/נוּחֶ֔/ךָ אַתָּ֖ה וַ/אֲר֣וֹן עֻזֶּ֑/ךָ כֹּהֲנֶ֜י/ךָ יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ יִלְבְּשׁ֣וּ תְשׁוּעָ֔ה וַ/חֲסִידֶ֖י/ךָ יִשְׂמְח֥וּ בַ/טּֽוֹב
6:42 Domine Deus, ne averteris faciem christi tui : memento misericordiarum David servi tui.
*H O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
Ver. 42. Anointed. Cover not with shame the king, whom thou hast appointed, (H.) nor reject my prayer. T. — Mercies, which thou hast shewn, or rather (C.) the acts of virtue which thy servant displayed. Syr. &c. For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed. Ps. cxxxi. In consideration of his merits, grant my request. C. — Even Solomon, though at this time the object of God's complacency, disdains not to screen himself under the merits of the departed saints. H.
Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου, μνήσθητι τὰ ἐλέη Δαυὶδ τοῦ δούλου σου.
יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֔ים אַל תָּשֵׁ֖ב פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶ֑י/ךָ זָכְרָ֕/ה לְ/חַֽסְדֵ֖י דָּוִ֥יד עַבְדֶּֽ/ךָ
