Original text and translations

Latin text Si coeli et coeli coelorum non te capiunt, quanto magis domus ista quam aedificavi? Sed ad hoc tantum facta est ut respicias orationem servi tui et obsecrationem ejus, Domine, Deus meus. (2 Chr. 6:18b-19a)

English translation If heaven and the heavens of heavens do not contain thee, how much less this house, which I have built? But to this end only it is made, that thou mayest regard the prayer of thy servant and his supplication, O Lord my God.

Hungarian translation Ha az ég s az egek ege nem képes befogadni téged, mennyivel kevésbé ez a ház, amelyet építettem? De hiszen csak azért készült, hogy tekints szolgád imádságára és könyörgésére, Uram, Istenem.
