2 Chronicles 7

New International Version NIV

1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

2 The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it.

3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “He is good; his love endures forever.”

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

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

6 The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the LORD’s musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the LORD and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, “His love endures forever.” Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.

7 Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the LORD, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.

8 So Solomon observed the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.

9 On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival for seven days more.

10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the LORD had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel.

11 When Solomon had finished the temple of the LORD and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the LORD and in his own palace,

12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.

13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,

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

15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

17 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws,

18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel.’

19 “But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them,

20 then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.

21 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All who pass by will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

22 People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’ ”

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 cumque conplesset Salomon fundens preces ignis descendit de caelo et devoravit holocausta et victimas et maiestas Domini implevit domum

2 nec poterant sacerdotes ingredi templum Domini eo quod implesset maiestas Domini templum Domini

3 sed et omnes filii Israhel videbant descendentem ignem et gloriam Domini super domum et corruentes proni in terram super pavimentum stratum lapide adoraverunt et laudaverunt Dominum quoniam bonus quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius

4 rex autem et omnis populus immolabant victimas coram Domino

5 mactavit igitur rex Salomon hostias boum viginti duo milia arietum centum viginti milia et dedicavit domum Dei rex et universus populus

6 sacerdotes autem stabant in officiis suis et Levitae in organis carminum Domini quae fecit David rex ad laudandum Dominum quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius hymnos David canentes per manus suas porro sacerdotes canebant tubis ante eos cunctusque Israhel stabat

7 sanctificavit quoque Salomon medium atrii ante templum Domini obtulerat enim ibi holocausta et adipes pacificorum quia altare aeneum quod fecerat non poterat sustinere holocausta et sacrificia et adipes

8 fecit ergo Salomon sollemnitatem in tempore illo septem diebus et omnis Israhel cum eo ecclesia magna valde ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Aegypti

9 fecitque die octavo collectam eo quod dedicasset altare septem diebus et sollemnitatem celebrasset diebus septem

10 igitur in die vicesimo tertio mensis septimi dimisit populos ad tabernacula sua laetantes atque gaudentes super bono quod fecerat Dominus David et Salomoni et Israhel populo suo

11 conplevitque Salomon domum Domini et domum regis et omnia quae disposuerat in corde suo ut faceret in domo Domini et in domo sua et prosperatus est

12 apparuit autem ei Dominus nocte et ait audivi orationem tuam et elegi locum istum mihi in domum sacrificii

13 si clausero caelum et pluvia non fluxerit et mandavero et praecepero lucustae ut devoret terram et misero pestilentiam in populum meum

14 conversus autem populus meus super quos invocatum est nomen meum deprecatus me fuerit et exquisierit faciem meam et egerit paenitentiam a viis suis pessimis et ego exaudiam de caelo et propitius ero peccatis eorum et sanabo terram eorum

15 oculi quoque mei erunt aperti et aures meae erectae ad orationem eius qui in loco isto oraverit

16 elegi enim et sanctificavi locum istum ut sit nomen meum ibi in sempiternum et permaneant oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus

17 tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me sicut ambulavit David pater tuus et feceris iuxta omnia quae praecepi tibi et iustitias meas iudiciaque servaveris

18 suscitabo thronum regni tui sicut pollicitus sum David patri tuo dicens non auferetur de stirpe tua vir qui sit princeps in Israhel

19 si autem aversi fueritis et dereliqueritis iustitias meas et praecepta mea quae proposui vobis et abeuntes servieritis diis alienis et adoraveritis eos

20 evellam vos de terra mea quam dedi vobis et domum hanc quam sanctificavi nomini meo proiciam a facie mea et tradam eam in parabolam et in exemplum cunctis populis

21 et domus ista erit in proverbium universis transeuntibus et dicent stupentes quare fecit Dominus sic terrae huic et domui huic

22 respondebuntque quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum qui eduxit eos de terra Aegypti et adprehenderunt deos alienos et adoraverunt eos atque coluerunt idcirco venerunt super eos universa haec mala
