1 Kings 8:27-53

ECB(i) 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.
