Nagpakita ang Dios kay Solomon(A)

11 Gani natapos ni Solomon ang pagpatindog sang templo sang Ginoo kag sang iya palasyo. Nahuman niya ang tanan niya nga ginplano para sa sini. 12 Dayon isa ka gab-i, nagpakita ang Ginoo sa iya kag nagsiling, “Nabatian ko ang imo pangamuyo kag ginpili ko ini nga templo bilang lugar nga halaran sang mga halad.

13 “Halimbawa indi ko pagpaulanon, ukon padal-an ko sang mga apan ang duta sa pagkaon sang mga tanom sini, ukon padal-an ko ang akon katawhan sang kalalat-an, 14 kag kon ang akon katawhan nga akon gintawag[a] magpaubos sang ila kaugalingon, magpangamuyo, magdangop sa akon, kag magbiya sa ila malaot nga mga ginahimo, pamatian ko sila sa langit kag patawaron ang ila mga sala, kag dayon pakamaayuhon ko liwat ang ila duta. 15 Talupangdon ko sila kag pamatian ang ila mga pangamuyo sa sini nga lugar, 16 kay ang ini nga templo ginpili ko kag ginseparar para sa akon agod mangin lugar nga sa diin padunggan ako hasta san-o. Bantayan ko ini kag atipanon permi.

17 “Kag ikaw, kon magsunod ka sa akon pareho sang imo amay nga si David, kag kon himuon mo ang tanan nga ginapahimo ko sa imo kag tumanon ang akon mga pagsulundan kag mga sugo, 18 paharion ko ang imo mga kaliwat hasta san-o. Amo man ini ang akon ginpromisa sa imo amay nga si David sang ginsilingan ko siya, ‘Indi ka madulaan sang kaliwat nga magahari sa Israel.’ 19 Pero kon magtalikod kamo kag indi magtuman sang akon mga sugo kag mga pagsulundan nga ginhatag ko sa inyo, kag kon mag-alagad kamo kag magsimba sa iban nga mga dios, 20 pahalinon ko kamo sa akon duta nga ginhatag sa inyo, kag sikwayon ko ining templo nga ginpili ko nga lugar nga sa diin padunggan ako. Dayon yagutaon kag kadlawan ini sang tanan nga tawo. 21 Kag bisan matahom kag bantog ining templo, gub-on ko ini. Makibot kag matingala gid ang tanan nga magaagi diri kag magasiling, ‘Ngaa ginhimo ini sang Ginoo sa sini nga duta kag sa sini nga templo?’ 22 Magasabat ang iban, ‘Tungod kay ginsikway nila ang Ginoo, ang Dios sang ila mga katigulangan, nga nagpaguwa sa ila sa Egipto, kag nag-alagad sila kag nagsimba sa iban nga mga dios. Amo ina nga ginpadal-an sila sang Ginoo sang sina nga mga kalaglagan.’ ”

The Lord Appears to Solomon(A)

11 When Solomon had finished(B) 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(C) to him at night and said:

“I have heard your prayer and have chosen(D) this place for myself(E) as a temple for sacrifices.

13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain,(F) or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name,(G) will humble(H) themselves and pray and seek my face(I) and turn(J) from their wicked ways, then I will hear(K) from heaven, and I will forgive(L) their sin and will heal(M) their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.(N) 16 I have chosen(O) 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(P) as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees(Q) and laws, 18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted(R) with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor(S) to rule over Israel.’(T)

19 “But if you[a] turn away(U) and forsake(V) the decrees and commands I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will uproot(W) Israel from my land,(X) 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(Y) among all peoples. 21 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled(Z) and say,(AA) ‘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(AB)—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’”

11 Thus 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.

12 And 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.

13 If 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;

14 If 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.

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

16 For 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.

17 And 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;

18 Then 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.

19 But 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;

20 Then 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.

21 And 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?

22 And 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.
