2 Chronicles 7 (WEBP)

[1] Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and Yahweh’s glory filled the house.
[2] The priests could not enter into Yahweh’s house, because Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house.
[3] All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and Yahweh’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
[4] Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before Yahweh.
[5] King 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.
[6] The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
[7] Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before Yahweh’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.
[8] So 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.
[9] On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
[10] On 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 Yahweh had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
[11] Thus Solomon finished Yahweh’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in Yahweh’s house and in his own house.
[12] Then Yahweh 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,
[14] if 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.
[15] Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
[16] For 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,
[18] then 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.’
[19] But 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,
[20] then 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.
[21] This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?’
[22] They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh, 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.’ ”

2 Chronicles 7 (BYZ)

[1] και ως συνετελεσεν σαλωμων προσευχομενος και το πυρ κατεβη εκ του ουρανου και κατεφαγεν τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας θυσιας και δοξα κυριου επλησεν τον οικον
[2] και ουκ ηδυναντο οι ιερεις εισελθειν εις τον οικον κυριου εν τω καιρω εκεινω οτι επλησεν δοξα κυριου τον οικον
[3] και παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ εωρων καταβαινον το πυρ και η δοξα κυριου επι τον οικον και επεσον επι προσωπον επι την γην επι το λιθοστρωτον και προσεκυνησαν και ηνουν τω κυριω οτι αγαθον οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου
[4] και ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος θυοντες θυματα εναντι κυριου
[5] και εθυσιασεν σαλωμων την θυσιαν μοσχων εικοσι και δυο χιλιαδας και βοσκηματων εκατον και εικοσι χιλιαδας και ενεκαινισεν τον οικον του θεου ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος
[6] και οι ιερεις επι τας φυλακας αυτων εστηκοτες και οι λευιται εν οργανοις ωδων κυριου του δαυιδ του βασιλεως του εξομολογεισθαι εναντι κυριου οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου εν υμνοις δαυιδ δια χειρος αυτων και οι ιερεις σαλπιζοντες ταις σαλπιγξιν εναντιον αυτων και πας ισραηλ εστηκως
[7] και ηγιασεν σαλωμων το μεσον της αυλης της εν οικω κυριου οτι εποιησεν εκει τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα στεατα των σωτηριων οτι το θυσιαστηριον το χαλκουν ο εποιησεν σαλωμων ουκ εξεποιει δεξασθαι τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα μαναα και τα στεατα
[8] και εποιησεν σαλωμων την εορτην εν τω καιρω εκεινω επτα ημεραις και πας ισραηλ μετ αυτου εκκλησια μεγαλη σφοδρα απο εισοδου αιμαθ και εως χειμαρρου αιγυπτου
[9] και εποιησεν εν τη ημερα τη ογδοη εξοδιον οτι εγκαινισμον του θυσιαστηριου εποιησεν επτα ημερας εορτην
[10] και εν τη τριτη και εικοστη του μηνος του εβδομου απεστειλεν τον λαον εις τα σκηνωματα αυτων ευφραινομενους και αγαθη καρδια επι τοις αγαθοις οις εποιησεν κυριος τω δαυιδ και τω σαλωμων και τω ισραηλ λαω αυτου
[11] και συνετελεσεν σαλωμων τον οικον κυριου και τον οικον του βασιλεως και παντα οσα ηθελησεν εν τη ψυχη σαλωμων του ποιησαι εν οικω κυριου και εν οικω αυτου ευοδωθη
[12] και ωφθη ο θεος τω σαλωμων την νυκτα και ειπεν αυτω ηκουσα της προσευχης σου και εξελεξαμην εν τω τοπω τουτω εμαυτω εις οικον θυσιας
[13] εαν συσχω τον ουρανον και μη γενηται υετος και εαν εντειλωμαι τη ακριδι καταφαγειν το ξυλον και εαν αποστειλω θανατον εν τω λαω μου
[14] και εαν εντραπη ο λαος μου εφ ους το ονομα μου επικεκληται επ αυτους και προσευξωνται και ζητησωσιν το προσωπον μου και αποστρεψωσιν απο των οδων αυτων των πονηρων και εγω εισακουσομαι εκ του ουρανου και ιλεως εσομαι ταις αμαρτιαις αυτων και ιασομαι την γην αυτων
[15] νυν οι οφθαλμοι μου εσονται ανεωγμενοι και τα ωτα μου επηκοα τη προσευχη του τοπου τουτου
[16] και νυν εξελεξαμην και ηγιακα τον οικον τουτον του ειναι ονομα μου εκει εως αιωνος και εσονται οι οφθαλμοι μου και η καρδια μου εκει πασας τας ημερας
[17] και συ εαν πορευθης εναντιον μου ως δαυιδ ο πατηρ σου και ποιησης κατα παντα α ενετειλαμην σοι και τα προσταγματα μου και τα κριματα μου φυλαξη
[18] και αναστησω τον θρονον της βασιλειας σου ως διεθεμην δαυιδ τω πατρι σου λεγων ουκ εξαρθησεται σοι ανηρ ηγουμενος εν ισραηλ
[19] και εαν αποστρεψητε υμεις και εγκαταλιπητε τα προσταγματα μου και τας εντολας μου ας εδωκα εναντιον υμων και πορευθητε και λατρευσητε θεοις ετεροις και προσκυνησητε αυτοις
[20] και εξαρω υμας απο της γης ης εδωκα αυτοις και τον οικον τουτον ον ηγιασα τω ονοματι μου αποστρεψω εκ προσωπου μου και δωσω αυτον εις παραβολην και εις διηγημα εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν
[21] και ο οικος ουτος ο υψηλος πας ο διαπορευομενος αυτον εκστησεται και ερει χαριν τινος εποιησεν κυριος τη γη ταυτη και τω οικω τουτω
[22] και ερουσιν διοτι εγκατελιπον κυριον τον θεον των πατερων αυτων τον εξαγαγοντα αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και αντελαβοντο θεων ετερων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και εδουλευσαν αυτοις δια τουτο επηγαγεν επ αυτους πασαν την κακιαν ταυτην
