< 歷代志上 22 >
1 達味歲說:「這裏就是上主天主的殿,這裏就是以色列獻全燔祭的祭壇。」[準備建殿材料]
And Dauid seide, This is the hows of God, and this auter is in to brent sacrifice of Israel.
2 達味下令招募在以色列境內的外方人,派石匠開鑿石頭,為建造天主的殿:
And he comaundide that alle conuersis fro hethenesse to the lawe of Israel `schulden be gaderid `of the lond of Israel; and he ordeynede of hem masouns for to kytte stoonys and for to polische, that the hows of the Lord schulde be bildid;
3 達味準備了大量的鐵,做門扇的釘子和鉤子;又準備了大量的銅,無法衡量;
also Dauid made redy ful myche yrun to the nailes of the yatis, and to the medlyngis and ioyntouris, and vnnoumbrable weiyte of bras;
4 香柏木不可勝數,因為漆冬和提洛人給達味運來了無數的香柏木。
also the trees of cedre myyten not be gessid, whiche the men of Sidonye and the men of Tyre brouyten to Dauid.
5 達味曾想:「我兒撒羅滿年幼脆弱;為上主要建造的殿宇,必須極其輝煌,聲譽榮耀應傳遍萬邦,所以我必須為他預備一切。」因此,達味在未死以前,預備了許多建築材料。[囑子建殿]
And Dauid seide, Salomon, my sone, is a litil child and delicat; sotheli the hows, which Y wole be bildid to the Lord, owith to be sich, that it be named in alle cuntrees; therfor Y schal make redi necessaries to hym. And for this cause Dauid bifor his deeth made redi alle costis.
6 達味將兒子撒羅滿召來,囑咐他為上主以色列的天主建築殿宇。
And he clepide Salomon, his sone, and comaundide to hym, that he schulde bilde an hows to the Lord God of Israel.
7 達味對撒羅滿說:「我兒,我心裏原想為上主我的天主的名,建築一座殿宇;
And Dauid seide to Salomon, My sone, it was my wille to bilde an hows to the name of `my Lord God;
8 無奈有上主的話傳於我說:你流了許多血,屢經大戰,你不可為我的名建造殿宇,因為你在我面前往地上流了許多血。
but the word of the Lord was made to me, and seide, Thou hast sched out myche blood, and thou hast fouyt ful many batels; thou mayst not bilde an hows to my name, for thou hast sched out so myche blood bifor me;
9 看,你將生一個兒子,他是一個和平的人,我要使他安寧,不受四周一切仇敵的侵擾,因為他的名字要叫撒羅滿;他在位時,我要將和平與安寧賜予以色列。
the sone that schal be borun to thee, schal be a man most pesible, for Y schal make hym to haue reste of alle hise enemyes bi cumpas, and for this cause he schal be clepid pesible, and Y schal yyue pees and reste in Israel in alle hise daies.
10 他將為我名建造殿宇,他將做我的兒子,我將做他的父親。我必鞏固他的王位,治理以色列,直到永遠。
He schal bilde an hows to my name; he schal be to me in to a sone, and Y schal be to hym in to a fadir, and Y schal make stidefast the seete of his rewme on Israel withouten ende.
11 我兒,如今,願上主與你同在,使你成功,為上主你的天主見造殿宇,有如他論及你所說的話。
Now therfor, my sone, the Lord be with thee, and haue thou prosperite, and bilde thou an hows to `thi Lord God, as he spak of thee.
12 唯願上主賜給你智慧和聰明,使你治理以色列時,遵循上主你的天主的法律。
And the Lord yyue to thee prudence and wit, that thou mow gouerne Israel, and kepe the lawe of `thi Lord God.
13 如果你謹守遵行上主藉梅瑟吩咐以色列的法律和典章,你必會成功;要有膽量,咬勇氣,不必畏懼,不必驚惶。
For thanne thou maist profite, if thou kepist the comaundementis and domes, whiche the Lord comaundide to Moises, that he schulde teche Israel; be thou coumfortid, and do manli, drede thou not `with outforth, nether drede thou `with ynne.
14 你看,我辛辛苦苦為上主的殿宇,預備了十萬「塔冷通」的金子,一百萬」塔冷通」的銀子,銅和鐵多得不可衡量;又預備了木料和石頭,你還可以補充。
Lo! in my pouert Y haue maad redi the costis of the hows of the Lord; an hundrid thousinde talentis of gold, and a thousynde thousynde talentis of siluer; sotheli of bras and irun is no weiyte, for the noumbre is ouercomun bi greetnesse; Y haue maad redi trees and stoonys to alle costis.
15 並且在你身邊還有許多工匠、鑿匠、石匠、木匠,以及各種工藝的技術工人。
Also thou hast ful many crafti men, masouns, and leggeris of stonys, and crafti men of trees, and of alle craftis,
16 關於金銀銅鐵,多得無數。起來興工罷! 願上主與你同在。」 [囑咐首領協助建殿]
most prudent to make werk, in gold, and siluer, and bras, and in yrun, of which is no noumbre; therfor rise thou, and make, and the Lord schal be with thee.
17 達味又吩咐以色列的領袖協助自己的兒子撒羅滿說:「
Also Dauid comaundide to alle the princis of Israel, that thei schulden helpe Salomon,
18 上主,你們的天主不是與你們同在嗎﹖他不是市你們四周都安寧了嗎﹖他已將這地的居民交於我手中,這地已在上主和他的百姓面前歸服了;
his sone, and seide, Ye seen, that `youre Lord God is with you, and hath youe to you reste `by cumpas, and hath bitake alle enemyes in youre hoond, and the erthe is suget bifor the Lord, and bifor his puple.
19 所以現在你們要專心致志,尋求上主你們的天主。起來! 興工建造上主天主的聖所,將上主的約櫃暗天主的聖器,運入為上主的名所建造的殿宇內。」
Therfor yyue youre hertis and youre soulis, that ye seke `youre Lord God; and rise ye togidere, and bilde ye a seyntuarie to `youre Lord God, that the arke of boond of pees of the Lord be brouyt in, and that vessels halewid to the Lord be brouyt in to the hows, which is bildid to the name of the Lord.
