LXX

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε Σαλωμὼν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ μετὰ εἴκοσι ἔτη, τότε ἐξεκκλησίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σιὼν, τοῦ ἐνεγκεῖν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐκ πόλεως Δαυὶδ, αὕτη ἐστὶ Σιὼν,

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

ἐν μηνὶ Ἀθανίν.

And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

Καὶ ᾖραν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν

And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

καὶ τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια τὰ ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι τοῦ μαρτυρίου.

And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πὰς Ἰσραὴλ ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ θύοντες πρόβατα, βόας, ἀναρίθμητα·

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

Καὶ εἰσφέρουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, εἰς τὸ δαβὶρ τοῦ οἴκου, εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας τῶν χερουβίν.

For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

Ὅτι τὰ χερουβὶμ διαπεπετασμένα ταῖς πτέρυξιν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ· καὶ περιεκάλυπτον τὰ χερουβὶμ ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῆς ἐπάνωθεν.

And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

Καὶ ὑπερεῖχον τὰ ἡγιασμένα· καὶ ἐνεβλέποντο αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἡγιασμένων ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων εἰς πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβὶρ, καὶ οὐκ ὠπτάνοντο ἔξω.

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ πλὴν δύο πλάκες λίθιναι, πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης ἃς ἔθηκε Μωυσῆς ἐν Χωρὴβ, ἃς διέθετο Κύριος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord,

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ἁγίου, καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἔπλησε τὸν οἶκον.

So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

Καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ ἱερεῖς στήκειν λειτουργεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς νεφέλης, ὅτι ἔπλησε δόξα Κυρίου τὸν οἶκον.

Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

—

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

—

And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)

Καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πάντα Ἰσραήλ· καὶ πᾶσα ἐκκλησία Ἰσραὴλ εἱστήκει·

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ σημερον, ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ περὶ Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσε, λέγον,

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.

ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐξήγαγον τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν πόλει ἐν ἑνὶ σκήπτρῳ Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τοῦ εἶναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἶναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὸν Δαυὶδ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς καρδίας τοῦ πατρός μου οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

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.

Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα μου, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου, καλῶς ἐποίησας ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου.

Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

Πλὴν σὺ οὐκ οἰκοδομήσεις τὸν οἶκον, ἀλλʼ ἢ ὁ υἱός σου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῶν πλευρῶν σου, οὗτος οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου.

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.

Καὶ ἀνέστησε Κύριος τὸ ῥῆμα αὐτοῦ ὃ ἐλάλησε· καὶ ἀνέστην ἀντὶ Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἐκάθισα ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου Ἰσραὴλ, καθὼς ἐλάλησε Κύριος, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησα τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

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.

Καὶ ἐθέμην ἐκεῖ τόπον τῇ κιβωτῷ, ἐν ᾗ ἐστιν ἐκεῖ διαθήκη Κυρίου ἣν διέθετο Κύριος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτὸν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

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:

Καὶ ἀνέστη Σαλωμὼν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου Κυρίου ἐνώπιον πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ἰσραήλ· καὶ διεπέτασε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν,

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:

καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς σὺ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, φυλάσσων διαθήκην καὶ ἔλεος τῷ δούλῳ σου τῷ πορευομένῳ ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ,

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.

ἃ ἐφύλαξας τῷ δούλῳ σου Δαυὶδ τῷ πατρί μου· καὶ γὰρ ἐλάλησας ἐν τῷ στόματί σου, καὶ ἐν χερσί σου ἐπλήρωσας, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

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.

Καὶ νῦν Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, φύλαξον τῷ δούλῳ σου Δαυὶδ τῷ πατρί μου ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ, λέγων, οὐκ ἐξαρθήσεταί σου ἀνὴρ ἐκ προσώπου μου καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Ἰσραὴλ, πλὴν ἐὰν φυλάξωνται τὰ τέκνα σου τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐνώπιόν μου καθὼς ἐπορεύθης ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ.

And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

Καὶ νῦν, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, πιστωθήτω δὴ τὸ ῥῆμά σου τῷ Δαυὶδ τῷ πατρί μου.

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?

Ὅτι εἰ ἀληθῶς κατοικήσει ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς; εἰ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐκ ἀρκέσουσί σοι, πλὴν καὶ ὁ οἶκος οὗτος ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου;

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:

Καὶ ἐπιβλέψῃ ἐπὶ τὴν δέησίν μου Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἀκούειν τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς ὁ δοῦλός σου προσεύχεται ἐνώπιόν σου πρὸς σὲ σήμερον,

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.

τοῦ εἶναι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἠνεῳγμένους εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς, εἰς τὸν τὸπον ὃν εἶπας, ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ, τοῦ εἰσακούειν τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς προσεύχεται ὁ δοῦλός σου εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός.

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.

Καὶ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς δεήσεως τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τοῦ· λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ ἃ ἂν προσεύξωνται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον· καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῆς κατοικήσεώς σου ἐν οὐρανῷ· καὶ ποιήσεις καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ.

If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

Ὅσα ἂν ἁμάρτῃ ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐὰν λάβῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἀρὰν τοῦ ἀράσασθαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλθῃ καὶ ἐξαγορεύσῃ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου σου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ,

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.

καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ποιήσεις· καὶ κρινεῖς τὸν λαόν σου Ἰσραὴλ, ἀνομηθῆναι ἄνομον, δοῦναι τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ δικαιῶσαι δίκαιον, δοῦναι αὐτῷ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ.

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:

Ἐν τῷ πταῖσαι τὸν λαόν σου Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον ἐχθρῶν, ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι, καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσι καὶ ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ προσεύξονται καὶ δεηθήσονται ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ,

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.

καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν.

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:

Ἐν τῷ συσχεθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γενέσθαι ὑετὸν, ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι, καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ἀποστρέψουσιν ὅταν ταπεινώσῃς αὐτοὺς,

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.

καὶ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ· ὅτι δηλώσεις αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἀγαθὴν πορεύεσθαι ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ δώσεις ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκας τῷ λαῳ σου ἐν κληρονομίᾳ.

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;

Λιμὸς ἐὰν γένηται, θάνατος ἐὰν γένηται, ὅτι ἔσται ἐμπυρισμὸς, βροῦχος, ἐρυσίβη ἐὰν γένηται, καὶ ἐὰν θλίψῃ αὐτὸν ὁ ἐχθρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν μιᾷ τῶν πόλεων αὐτοῦ, πᾶν συνάντημα, πᾶν πόνον,

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:

πᾶσαν προσευχὴν, πᾶσαν δέησιν ἐὰν γένηται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ, ὡς ἂν γνῶσιν ἕκαστος ἁφὴν καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ διαπετάσῃ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον,

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;)

καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ, καὶ ποιήσεις καὶ δώσεις ἀνδρὶ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἂν γνῷς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι σὺ μονώτατος οἶδας τὴν καρδίαν πάντων υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων,

That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

ὅπως φοβῶνταί σε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὅσας αὐτοὶ ζῶσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν.

Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name’s sake;

Καὶ τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ λαοῦ σοῦ οὗτος,

(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

καὶ ἥξουσι καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον,

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.

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 τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ φοβῶνταί σε, καθὼς ὁ λαός σου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικέκληται ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα.

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:

Ὅτι ἐξελεύσεται ὁ λαός σου εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπιστρέψεις αὐτοὺς, καὶ προσεύξονται ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου ὁδὸν τῆς πόλεως ἧς ἑξελέξω ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου,

Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν, καὶ τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ ποιήσεις τὸ δικαίωμα αὐτοῖς.

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;

Ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεται, καὶ ἐπάξεις αὐτοὺς καὶ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον ἐχθρῶν, καὶ αἰχμαλωτιοῦσιν οἱ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες εἰς γῆν μακρὰν ἢ ἐγγὺς,

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 committed wickedness;

καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσι καρδίας αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ οὗ μετήχθησαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν ἐν γῇ μετοικίας αὐτῶν, καὶ δεηθῶσί σου, λέγοντες, ἡμάρτομεν, ἠδικήσαμεν, ἠνομήσαμεν,

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:

καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσι πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν οὗ μετήγαγες αὐτοὺς, καὶ προσεύξονται πρὸς σὲ ὁδὸν γῆς αὐτῶν ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ τῆς πόλεως ἧς ἐξελέξω, καὶ τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμηκα τῷ ὀνόματί σου,

Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

καὶ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου,

And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν αἷς ἥμαρτόν σοι, καὶ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἀθετήματα αὐτῶν ἃ ἠθέτησάν σοι, καὶ δώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς οἰκτιρμοὺς ἐνώπιον αἰχμαλωτευόντων αὐτοὺς, καὶ οἰκτειρήσουσιν εἰς αὐτοὺς,

For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

ὅτι λαός σου καὶ κληρονομία σου, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐκ μέσου χωνευτηρίου σιδήρου.

That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

Καὶ ἔστωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου καὶ τὰ ὦτά σου ἠνεῳγμένα εἰς τὴν δέησιν τοῦ δούλου σου, καὶ εἰς τὴν δέησιν τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ, εἰσακούειν αὐτῶν ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἂν ἐπικαλέσωνταί σε.

For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

Ὅτι σὺ διέστειλας αὐτοὺς σεαυτῷ εἰς κληρονομίαν ἐκ πάντων τῶν λαῶν τῆς γῆς, καθὼς ἐλάλησας ἐν χειρὶ δούλου σου Μωυσῆ, ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν σε τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, Κύριε Κύριε. Τότε ἐλάλησε Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου, ὡς συνετέλεσε τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτὸν, Ἥλιον ἐγνώρισεν ἐν οὐρανῷ· Κύριος εἶπε τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐν γνόφῳ· οἰκοδόμησον οἶκόν μου, οἶκον εὐπρεπῆ σεαυτῷ τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐπὶ καινότητος· οὐκ ἰδοὺ αὕτη γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ τῆς ᾠδῆς;

And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε Σαλωμὼν προσευχόμενος πρὸς Κύριον ὅλην τὴν προσευχὴν καὶ τὴν δέησιν ταύτην, καὶ ἀνέστη ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου Κυρίου ὀκλακὼς ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ διαπεπετασμέναι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

Καὶ ἔστη, καὶ εὐλόγησε πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν Ἰσραὴλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, λέγων,

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

εὐλογητὸς Κύριος σήμερον ὃς ἔδωκε κατάπαυσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησεν· οὐ διεφώνησε λόγος εἷς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς οἷς ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Μωυσῆ.

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

Γένοιτο Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν μεθʼ ἡμῶν, καθὼς ἦν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν· μὴ ἐγκαταλοίποιτο ἡμᾶς μηδὲ ἀποστρέψοιτο ἡμᾶς,

That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

Γένοιτο Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν μεθʼ ἡμῶν, καθὼς ἦν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν· μὴ ἐγκαταλοίποιτο ἡμᾶς μηδὲ ἀποστρέψοιτο ἡμᾶς, ἐπικλῖναι καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυλάσσειν πάσας ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν.

And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:

Καὶ ἔστωσαν οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι ὡς δεδέημαι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἐγγίζοντες πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν ἡμῶν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς, τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ δοῦλου σου, καὶ τὸ δικαίωμα λαοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ῥῆμα ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐνιαυτοῦ·

That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is none else.

ὅπως γνῶσι πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, αὐτὸς Θεὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι.

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Καὶ ἔστωσαν αἱ καρδίαι ἡμῶν τέλειαι πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν ἡμῶν, καὶ ὁσίως πορεύεσθαι ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυλάσσειν ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the Lord.

Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔθυσαν θυσίαν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.

And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.

Καὶ ἔθυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν τὰς θυσίας τῶν εἰρηνικῶν ἃς ἔθυσε τῷ Κυρίῳ, βοῶν δύο καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας, προβάτων ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας· καὶ ἐνεκαίνισε τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ.

The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

Τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ μέσον τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου· ὅτι ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ τὰς θυσίας καὶ τὰ στέατα τῶν εἰρηνικῶν, ὅτι τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν τὸ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου μικρὸν τοῦ μὴ δύνασθαι τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ τὰς θυσίας τῶν εἰρηνικῶν ὑπενεγκεῖν.

And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

Καὶ ἑποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν ἑορτὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ἐκκλησία μεγάλη ἀπὸ τῆς εἰσόδου Ἡμὰθ ἕως ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου, ἐνώπιον Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ᾧ ᾠκοδόμησεν, ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων καὶ εὐφραινόμενος ἐνώπιον Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.

Καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ ἐξαπέστειλε τὸν λαόν· καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ χαίροντες· καὶ ἀγαθὴ ἡ καρδία ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς οἷς ἐποίησε Κύριος τῷ Δαυὶδ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ λαῷ αὐτοῦ.
