7 Kur Salomoni mbaroi së luturi, nga qielli ra një zjarr që konsumoi olokaustin dhe flijimet dhe lavdia e Zotit mbushi tempullin.
2 Priftërinjtë nuk mund të hynin në shtëpinë e Zotit, sepse lavdia e Zotit mbushte shtëpinë e Zotit.
3 Tërë bijtë e Izraelit, kur panë që zjarri po zbriste dhe lavdia e Zotit po vendosej mbi tempullin, ranë përmbys me fytyrë mbi dysheme, duke adhuruar dhe lëvduar Zotin, "sepse është i mirë, sepse mirësia e tij vazhdon në përjetsi".
4 Pastaj mbreti dhe tërë populli ofruan flijime përpara Zotit,
5 mbreti Salomon ofroi si flijim njëzet e dy mijë lopë dhe njëqind e njëzet mijë dele. Kështu mbreti dhe tërë populli shenjtëruan shtëpinë e Perëndisë.
6 Priftërinjtë kryenin detyrat e tyre, po kështu Levitët me veglat e tyre muzikore të kushtuara Zotit, që mbreti David kishte bërë për të lëvduar Zotin, "sepse mirësia e tij është e përjetshme," sa herë që Davidi lëvdonte me anë të tyre. Priftërinjtë u binin borive para tyre, ndërsa tërë Izraeli qëndronte në këmbë.
7 Salomoni shenjtëroi pjesën qëndrore të oborrit që ishte përballë shtëpisë të Zotit; aty pikërisht ofroi olokauste dhe dhjamin e flijimeve të falenderimit, sepse altari prej bronzi që Salomoni kishte bërë nuk i zinte dot olokaustet, blatimet e ushqimit dhe dhjamin.
8 Në atë kohë Salomoni kremtoi festën shtatë ditë dhe tërë Izraeli bashkë me të. Me Salomonin u bashkua një mori e madhe njerëzish të ardhur nga rrethinat e Hamathit deri në përroin e Egjiptit.
9 Ditën e tetë bënë një mbledhje solemne, sepse kishin kremtuar kushtimin e altarit shtatë ditë dhe festën shtatë ditë të tjera.
10 Ditën e njëzetetretë të muajit të shtatë ai e ktheu në çadrat e tij popullin tërë qejf dhe të gëzuar për të mirën që Zoti i kishte bërë Davidit, Salomonit dhe Izraelit, popullit të tij.
11 Kështu Salomoni përfundoi shtëpinë e Zotit dhe pallatin mbretëror të tij, dhe arriti të mbarojë gjithshka që kishte në zemër për shtëpinë e Zotit dhe për shtëpinë e vet.
12 Pastaj Zoti iu shfaq natën Salomonit dhe i tha: "E plotësova lutjen tënde dhe zgjodha këtë vend për vete si shtëpi flijimesh.
13 Kur do të mbyll qiellin dhe nuk do të ketë më shi, kur do të urdhëroj që karkalecat të gllabërojnë vendin, kur do t’i dërgoj murtajën popullit tim,
14 në qoftë se populli im, i cili thirret me emrin tim, përulet, lutet, kërkon fytyrën time dhe kthehet prapa nga rrugët e këqija, unë do ta dëgjoj nga qielli, do t’i fal mëkatin e tij dhe do ta shëroj vendin e tij.
15 Tani sytë e mi do të jenë të hapur dhe veshët e mi të vëmendshëm për lutjen e bërë në këtë vend,
16 sepse tani kam zgjedhur dhe shenjtëruar këtë tempull, që emri im të mbetet aty përjetë; sytë dhe zemra ime do të jenë gjithnjë aty.
17 Sa për ty, në qoftë se do të ecësh para meje ashtu si ka ecur Davidi, ati yt, duke kryer të gjitha ato që të kam urdhëruar, dhe në rast se do të respektosh statutet dhe dekretet e mia,
18 do ta bëj të qëndrueshëm fronin e mbretërisë sate, ashtu siç jam marrë vesh me Davidin, atin tënd, duke thënë: "Nuk do të mungojë kurrë një njeri që të mbetërojë mbi Izraelin".
19 Por në rast se do të drejtoheni gjetiu dhe do të braktisni statutet dhe urdhërimet e mia që ju kam vënë përpara dhe do të shkoni t’u shërbeni perëndive të tjera dhe të bini përmbys përpara tyre,
20 atëherë do t’ju çrrënjos nga vendi im që ju kam dhënë dhe nuk do të jem më i pranishëm në këtë tempull që ia shenjtërova emrit tim, duke e bërë gazin dhe lojën e të gjithë popujve.
21 Kushdo që do të kalojë pranë këtij tempulli aq të madhërishëm do të habitet dhe do të thotë: "Pse Zoti e ka trajtuar kështu këtë vend dhe këtë tempull?".
22 Atëherë do t’i përgjigjen: "Sepse kanë braktisur Zotin, Perëndinë e etërve të tyre që i nxori nga vendi i Egjiptit, kanë pranuar perëndi të tjera, kanë rënë përmbys para tyre dhe u kanë shërbyer; prandaj Zoti ka sjellë mbi ta tërë këtë fatkeqësi"".

The Dedication of the Temple(A)
7 When Solomon finished praying, fire(B) came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled(C) the temple.(D) 2 The priests could not enter(E) the temple of the Lord because the glory(F) 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.”(G)
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(H) with the Lord’s musical instruments,(I) 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(J) 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(K) at that time for seven days, and all Israel(L) with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath(M) to the Wadi of Egypt.(N) 9 On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated(O) the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival(P) 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.
The Lord Appears to Solomon(Q)
11 When Solomon had finished(R) 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(S) to him at night and said:
“I have heard your prayer and have chosen(T) this place for myself(U) as a temple for sacrifices.
13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain,(V) or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name,(W) will humble(X) themselves and pray and seek my face(Y) and turn(Z) from their wicked ways, then I will hear(AA) from heaven, and I will forgive(AB) their sin and will heal(AC) their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.(AD) 16 I have chosen(AE) 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(AF) as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees(AG) and laws, 18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted(AH) with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor(AI) to rule over Israel.’(AJ)
19 “But if you[a] turn away(AK) and forsake(AL) the decrees and commands I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will uproot(AM) Israel from my land,(AN) 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(AO) among all peoples. 21 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled(AP) and say,(AQ) ‘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(AR)—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’”

King James Version
7 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the Lord had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
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.
