THE PRAYER OF SHELOMOH TO HANUKKAH THE HOUSE
And Shelomoh stands at the face of the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh in front of all the congregation of Yisra El and spreads his palms toward the heavens; 23 and he says, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, there is no Elohim like you - in the heavens above or on earth beneath, who guards covenant and mercy with your servants who walk at your face with all their heart: 24 who, with your servant David my father, guarded what you worded him: yes, worded with your mouth and fulfilled with your hand, as this day. 25 And now, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, guard with your servant David my father what you worded him, saying, There is not cut off from you a man from my face to settle on the throne of Yisra El; if only, your sons guard their way, to walk at my face as you walked at my face. 26 And now, O Elohim of Yisra El, may your word, I beseech you, be amenable, which you worded to your servant David my father. 27 But truly, settles Elohim on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens contain you not - in this house I build? 28 Yet face the prayer of your servant and his supplication, O Yah Veh my Elohim, to hearken to the shout and to the prayer your servant prays at your face today: 29 that your eyes be open toward this house night and day - toward the place of which you say, My name is there: to hearken to the prayer your servant prays toward this place: 30 and hearken to the supplication of your servant and of your people Yisra El when they pray toward this place: and hear in the heavens the place of your settlement: and when you hear, forgive. 31 Whatever any man sins against his friend and lays an oath on him to have him oath; and the oath comes at the face of your sacrifice altar in this house: 32 then hear in the heavens and work and judge your servants; declaring wicked the wicked to give his way on his head; and justifying the just to give him according to his justness. 33 When your people Yisra El are smitten at the face of the enemy because they sin against you - and turn again to you and spread hands to your name and pray and beseech to you in this house 34 - then hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Yisra El and return them to the soil you gave their fathers. 35 When the heavens restrain and there is no rain because they sin against you - if they pray toward this place and spread hands to your name and turn from their sin and you humble them: 36 then hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of your servants and of your people Yisra El to direct them the good way to walk and give rain on the land you gave to your people for an inheritance. 37 When there is famine in the land when there is pestilence when there is blasting, pale green, locust, caterpiller; whenever their enemy tribulates them in the land of their portals; whatever plague, whatever disease; 38 whatever prayer and supplication of any man or of all your people Yisra El or of every human knowing the plague of his own heart and spreads his palms toward this house, 39 then hear in the heavens the place of your settlement; and forgive and work and give to every man according to his ways - whose heart you know; for you - even you only, know the hearts of all the sons of humanity; 40 that they awe you all the days they live on the face of the soil you gave our fathers. 41 And also concerning a stranger - not of your people Yisra El, but comes from a far land for sake of your name 42 - for they hear of your great name and of your strong hand and of your spread arm - when he comes and prays toward this house; 43 hear in the heavens the place of your settlement and work according to all the stranger calls to you: so that all people of the earth know your name - to awe you, as your people Yisra El; and so that they know that this house I built is called by your name. 44 When your people go out to war against their enemy in the way you send them, and pray to Yah Veh toward the city you chose and toward the house I built for your name, 45 then in the heavens hear their prayer and their supplication and work their judgment: 46 when they sin against you - for no human sins not - and you become angry with them and give them to face the enemy so that their captors capture them to the land of the enemy - far or near; 47 and they turn their hearts to the land they were captured and turn and beseech to you in the land of them who captured them, saying, We sinned and perverted; we did wickedly; 48 and return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who captured them; and pray to you toward the land you gave their fathers - the city you chose and the house I built for your name: 49 then hear their prayer and their supplication in the heavens the place of your settlement and work their judgment; 50 and forgive your people who sinned against you and all the rebellions they rebelled against you and give them mercies at the face of their captors that they mercy them: 51 for they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought from Misrayim from midst the furnace of iron: 52 that your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Yisra El; to hearken to them in all they call to you. 53 For you separated them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance as you worded by the hand of Mosheh your servant when you brought our fathers from Misrayim, O Adonay Yah Veh. 54 And so be it, Shelomoh finishes praying all this prayer and supplication to Yah Veh; and he rises from the face of the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh - from bowing on his knees with his palms spread to the heavens: 55 and he stands and blesses all the congregation of Yisra El with a great voice, saying, 56 Blessed - Yah Veh who gives rest to his people Yisra El according to all he words: there falls not one word of all the good words he worded by the hand of Mosheh his servant. 57 Yah Veh our Elohim is with us as he was with our fathers: he neither leaves us nor forsakes us: 58 to spread our hearts to him to walk in all his ways and to guard his misvoth and his statutes and his judgments which he misvahed our fathers. 59 And may these words I beseech at the face of Yah Veh be near Yah Veh our Elohim day and night; that he work the judgment of his servant and the judgment of his people Yisra El the day by day word, as the word requires: 60 that all the people of the earth may know that Yah Veh is Elohim - no one else. 61 And so be your heart at shalom with Yah Veh our Elohim - to walk in his statutes and to guard his misvoth as at this day. 62
HE HANUKKAH
nd the sovereign and all Yisra El with him, sacrifice sacrifices at the face of Yah Veh: 63 and Shelomoh sacrifices a sacrifice of shelamim - sacrifices to Yah Veh twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand flocks. Thus the sovereign and all the sons of Yisra El hanukkah the house of Yah Veh. 64 On the same day, the sovereign hallows the middle of the court at the face the house of Yah Veh: for there he works holocausts and offerings and the fat of the shelamim: because the copper sacrifice altar at the face of Yah Veh is too little to contain the holocausts and offerings and the fat of the shelamim. 65 And at that time Shelomoh works a celebration - and all Yisra El with him - a great congregation from the entering in of Hamath to the wadi of Misrayim at the face of Yah Veh our Elohim - seven days and seven days - fourteen days. 66 On the eighth day he sends the people away: and they bless the sovereign and go to their tents cheerful and good of heart for all the goodness Yah Veh worked for David his servant and for Yisra El his people.
