6–BOB
Sulaymonning nutqi
1 Shunda Sulaymon ibodat qildi:
— Ey Egamiz! Sen, zimziyo zulmatda maskan qilaman, degan eding. 2 Mana endi Senga ajoyib bir uy, abadiy istiqomat qilishing uchun bir maskan barpo qildim.
3 Keyin shoh orqasiga qayrilib, tik turgan jamiki Isroil jamoasini duo qildi. 4 Shoh dedi:
“Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamizga hamdu sanolar boʻlsin. U otam Dovudga bergan vaʼdasini bajardi. 5 Egamiz otamga shunday degan edi : «Xalqim Isroilni Misrdan olib chiqqan kunimdan beri Men ulugʻlanadigan uyni barpo qilish uchun Isroil qabilalarining birorta shahrini tanlamagan edim, birorta odamni xalqimga hukmron qilib saylamagan edim. 6 Mana endi esa ulugʻlanishim uchun Quddusni tanladim. Men seni, ey Dovud, xalqim Isroil ustidan hukmdor boʻlgin deb tanladim.»
7 Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamizga atab bir uy barpo qilmoq otam Dovudning niyati edi. 8 Lekin Egamiz otam Dovudga shunday deb aytdi: «Modomiki, Menga atab bir uy barpo qilmoqni koʻnglingga tukkan ekansan, yaxshi qilibsan. 9 Biroq Menga atab oʻsha uyni sen emas, balki sening pushti kamaringdan bino boʻladigan oʻgʻling barpo qiladi.»
10 Egamiz vaʼda bergan edi, bajo ayladi: otam Dovudning oʻrniga taxtga men chiqdim, Egamiz vaʼda etganiday, Isroil taxtiga oʻtirdim, Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamizga atab bir uy barpo qildim. 11 Oʻsha uyga Ahd sandigʻini oʻrnashtirdim. Egamizning Isroil xalqi bilan qilgan ahd lavhalari shu Sandiqning ichida turibdi.”
Sulaymonning ibodati
12 Sulaymon Egamizning qurbongohi oldida, Isroil jamoasi roʻparasida qoʻllarini koʻkka choʻzdi. 13 U supaning ustida turar edi. Bu supani Sulaymon bronzadan yasattirib, uni hovlining oʻrtasiga oʻrnattirgan edi. Supaning uzunligi besh tirsak, eni ham besh tirsak, balandligi uch tirsak edi. Sulaymon butun Isroil jamoasi oldida tiz choʻkib, qoʻllarini koʻkka choʻzgancha, 14 ibodat qila boshladi:
“Ey Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz! Yer yuzida ham, osmonu falakda ham Senga oʻxshashi yoʻq! Senga butun qalbi bilan bogʻlanib, Sen koʻrsatgan yoʻldan yuradigan qullaringga Oʻzing ahdingni sodiq saqlaysan. 15 Quling — otam Dovudga Sen Oʻz ogʻzing bilan bergan vaʼdalaringni bugun Oʻz qoʻling bilan bajo aylading.
16 Ey Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz! Oʻzingning qulingga — otam Dovudga: «Bolalaring ham senga oʻxshab qonunlarimga rioya qilib, oʻylab qadamini bossalar, sening naslingdan boʻlgan erkak zoti to abad Isroil taxtida oʻtiradi», — deb vaʼda bergan eding. Endi bergan vaʼdangni ado et! 17 Ey Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz! Quling Dovudga aytganlaring amalga oshsin, deb iltijo qilaman.
18 Ey Xudo, Sen yer yuzida inson zoti bilan yasharmiding?! Sen osmonga, hatto falak toqiga ham sigʻmassan. Falak toqi oldida men qurgan uy nima boʻlibdi?! 19 Ey Egam Xudo, iltijo bilan qilgan ibodatimni qabul et! Senga yolvorib qilayotgan iltijolarimga javob ber. 20 Sen: «Men oʻsha yerda ulugʻlanay», deb aytgan eding. Koʻzlaring kechayu kunduz oʻsha joyga — oʻsha uyga qadalib tursin. Men, quling, oʻsha tomonga qarab ibodat qilaman, ibodatlarimni tingla. 21 Isroil xalqi bilan birga oʻsha tomonga qarab qilgan iltijolarimizga quloq tut. Samolardan — Oʻz makoningdan turib quloq sol, eshitgin–u, gunohimizdan oʻt.
22 Kimdir gunohkorlikda ayblansa, oʻsha odam kelib, shu uyingdagi qurbongohing oldida, aybsizman, deb ont ichsa, 23 ey Egam, samodan turib quloq sol, qullaringni Oʻzing hukm et. Gunohkorning qilmishini boʻyniga qoʻy, jazosini ber. Gunohsizning esa haqligini koʻrsat, haq boʻlgani uchun uni ozod qil.
24 Xalqing Isroil Sening oldingda gunoh qilgani uchun yovga magʻlub boʻlsa, yana qaytib Seni tan olsa, oʻsha uyda Senga yolvorib iltijo qilsa, 25 Sen samodan turib, ularning iltijolariga quloq sol, gunohlaridan oʻt. Otalariga va ularga Oʻzing tomondan berilgan yurtga ularni qaytar.
26 Ular Senga qarshi gunoh qilganlari uchun osmon berkilib, yomgʻir yogʻmaganda, ular oʻsha uyga qarab, Seni yana tan olib iltijo qilsalar, Sen ularni gunohlari uchun jazolaganingda, tavba qilsalar, 27 qullaring Isroil xalqiga samodan turib quloq sol, ularning gunohidan oʻt. Ularga toʻgʻri yoʻl koʻrsat, toki oʻsha yoʻldan yursinlar, keyin xalqingga mulk qilib bergan yerga yomgʻir yogʻdir.
28 Yurtda ocharchilik yo oʻlat paydo boʻlsa, garmsel , zang kasali, chigirtka , qurt–qumursqa bossa yoki xalqingni yovlar qamal qilsa, yoxud kulfat, xastalik ularning boshiga kelsa, 29 har qanday inson yoki xalqing Isroil Senga yolvorib ibodat qilsa, har kim oʻz dard–hasratini aytib, bu uy tomon qoʻllarini choʻzsa, 30-31 Sen samodan — maskaningdan turib quloq sol va ularning gunohidan oʻt. Har birining tutgan yoʻliga qara, xizmatiga yarasha ber, toki Sen Oʻzing ota–bobolarimizga bergan yurtda ular umrlarining oxirigacha Sendan qoʻrqib, Sening yoʻllaringdan yursinlar. Zotan, jamiki inson bolasining koʻnglidagini yolgʻiz Sen bilasan, xolos.
32 Xalqing Isroildan boʻlmagan begona odam Seni deb uzoq yurtdan kelsa, Sening shuhrating, qudrating va ajoyibotlaring haqida eshitib, oʻsha uyga qarab ibodat qilsa, 33 Sen makoningdan turib quloq sol. Oʻsha odamning soʻraganini bajo ayla, toki yer yuzidagi hamma xalqlar Seni bilsin, xalqing Isroil kabi Sendan hayiqadigan boʻlsin. Men barpo qilgan shu uy Senga atab qilinganini bilsin.
34 Sen xalqingni gʻanimlariga qarshi jang qilishga yuborganingda, ular Oʻzing tanlab olgan bu shaharga, Senga atab men qurgan uyga yuz burib, ibodat qilsalar, 35 samodan turib ularning iltijolarini eshit, bajo ayla.
36 Sening oldingda ular gunoh qilganlarida, chunki gunoh qilmaydigan odamning oʻzi yoʻq, Sen gʻazablanib, ularni yaqin yoki uzoq yurtlarga asir qilib olib ketadigan dushmanlarning qoʻliga berganingda, 37 ular gʻanimlari yurtida asirlikda yurib, esini yigʻib olgach: «Gunoh qildik, shakkoklik qildik, aybdormiz», deb tavba qilib, Senga yolvorsalar, 38 asir boʻlgan yurtda butun qalbi bilan, jonu dili bilan Senga qaytsalar, Oʻzing ota–bobolariga bergan yurtga, Oʻzing tanlab olgan shaharga, Senga atab men qurgan uyga yuz burib, ibodat qilsalar, 39 samodan — makoningdan turib ularning qilgan iltijolarini eshit, bajo ayla. Xalqing Senga qarshi qancha gunoh qilgan boʻlmasin, ularni kechir.
40 Endi, ey Xudoyim, bizga nazar sol, shu joyda qilgan ibodatlarimizga quloq tut.
41 Qani, ey Parvardigor Egam, kel oromgohingga
Qudrating ramzi boʻlgan Sandiq bilan birga.
Ey Parvardigor Egam!
Ruhoniylaring najot kiyimlarini kiyishsin.
Taqvodorlaring ezguligingdan shod boʻlishsin.
42 Ey Parvardigor Egam!
Tanlagan shohingni rad qilmagin!
Quling Dovudga koʻrsatgan sevgingni yodingda tutgin.”
1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. 4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying, 5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: 6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart: 9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. 10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
12 ¶ And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands: 13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven, 14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 15 Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day. 16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. 17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David. 18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! 19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: 20 That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place. 21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
22 ¶ If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house; 23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
24 ¶ And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house; 25 Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26 ¶ When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them; 27 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.
28 ¶ If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be: 29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house: 30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:) 31 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32 ¶ Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house; 33 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from 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, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name; 35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; 37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; 38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: 39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. 40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. 42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
