歷代志上 28
1 [達味宣佈建殿]達味召集了以色列的眾首長、各支派首長、值班服事君王的首長、千夫長、百夫長、掌管軍人及王室子女財產牲畜的首長，以及太監、勇士和眾顯要，到耶路撒冷來。
Nowe Dauid assembled all the princes of Israel: the princes of the tribes, and the captaines of the bandes that serued the King, and the captaines of thousands and the captaines of hundreths, and the rulers of all the substance and possession of the King, and of his sonnes, with the eunuches, and the mightie, and all the men of power, vnto Ierusalem.
2 達味王站起來說道：「我的弟兄，我的百姓，請聽我的話! 我原有意為上主的約櫃，即為我們天主的腳凳，建造一座安放的殿宇，並且我已作了建造的準備；
And King Dauid stoode vp vpon his feete; and saide, Heare ye me, my brethren and my people: I purposed to haue buylt an house of rest for the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and for a footestoole of our God, and haue made ready for the building,
3 然而天主對我說：你不可為我的名建築殿宇，因為你是一個軍人，流過人的血。
But God sayde vnto me, Thou shalt not buylde an house for my Name, because thou hast bene a man of warre, and hast shed blood.
4 上主以色列的天主，由我父全家中選拔了我永遠作王，統治以色列，因為他選拔了猶大為長，由猷大家族中又選拔了我的父家，在我父親的兒子中，他喜愛我，立我作王，統治全以色列；
Yet as the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father, to be King ouer Israel for euer (for in Iudah woulde he chuse a prince, and of the house of Iudah is the house of my father, and among the sonnes of my father he delited in me to make me King ouer all Israel)
5 他又從我的眾子中，─因為上主賞賜了我許多兒子，選拔了我兒撒羅滿，坐上主王國的寶座，治理以色列。
So of all my sonnes (for the Lord hath giuen me many sonnes) he hath euen chosen Salomon my sonne to sit vpon the throne of the kingdome of the Lord ouer Israel.
6 他這樣對我說：是你的兒子撒羅滿要為我建築殿宇和庭院，因為我以選了他作我的兒子，我要作他的父親。
And he sayd vnto me, Salomon thy sonne, he shall build mine house and my courtes: for I haue chosen him to be my sonne, and I will be his father.
7 如果他堅守遵行我的誡命和法律，如同今日一樣，我必鞏固他的王權直到永遠。
I will stablish therefore his kingdome for euer, if he endeuour himselfe to do my commandements, and my iudgements, as this day.
8 所以現今當著全以色列，上主的會眾面前，在我們天主聽聞之下，我勸你們必須遵守並尋求上主，你們天主的一切誡命，好使你們保有這塊美麗的地方，永遠遺留給你們的子孫。
Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the Congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keepe and seeke for all the commandements of the Lord your God, that ye may possesse this good lande, and leaue it for an inheritance for your children after you for euer.
9 至於你、我兒撒羅滿! 你要認識你父親的天主，全心樂意事奉他，因為上主洞察所有人的心，知道人的一切心思欲念。如果你尋求他，他必使你尋獲；如果你背判他，他必要永遠拋棄你。
And thou, Salomon my sonne, know thou the God of thy father, and serue him with a perfit heart, and with a willing minde: For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and vnderstandeth all the imaginations of thoughts: if thou seeke him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for euer.
10 現在，你該注意，因為上主揀選了你建築殿宇作為他的聖所，你要勇敢去行。」[交付聖殿圖樣]
Take heede now, for the Lord hath chosen thee to buylde the house of the Sanctuarie: be strong therefore, and doe it.
11 達味遂將門廊、廂房、府庫、樓閣、內室和至聖所的圖樣，交給了他的兒子撒羅滿；
Then Dauid gaue to Salomon his sonne the paterne of the porch and of the houses thereof, and of the closets thereof, and of the galleries thereof, and of the chambers thereof that are within, and of the house of the mercieseate,
12 將他心中關於上主殿宇的庭院，周圍的房屋，天主殿內的府庫，聖物的府庫所有的圖樣，
And the paterne of all that he had in his minde for the courtes of the house of the Lord, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the dedicate things,
13 以及關於司祭和肋未人的班次，在上主殿內應行的一切禮儀，上主殿內行禮儀時應用的一切器皿，都指示給他，
And for the courses of the Priestes, and of the Leuites, and for all the woorke for the seruice of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the ministerie of the house of the Lord.
14 並給他指定用多少份量的金子，製各種禮儀應使用的一切金器；用多少份量的銀子，製各種歷任應使用的一切銀器，
He gaue of golde by weight, for the vessels of gold, for all the vessels of all maner of seruice, and all the vessels of siluer by weight, for all maner vessels of all maner of seruice.
15 用多少份量的金子，製金燈台及台上的金燈，用多少份量製每盞金燈台及台上的金燈；用多少份量的銀子，製銀燈台及台上的銀燈，每盞銀燈台及台上銀燈的重量，按每盞燈台的用途應用多少；
The weight also of golde for the candlestickes, and gold for their lampes, with the weight for euery candlesticke, and for the lampes thereof, and for the candlestickes of siluer by the weight of the candlesticke, and the lampes thereof, according to the vse of euery candlesticke,
16 用多少份量的金子，製供餅的桌子，每張應用多少；用多少銀子製銀桌子；
And the weight of the gold for the tables of shewbread, for euery table, and siluer for the tables of siluer,
17 用多少份量的純金，製叉、盤和壺；用多少份量的金子，製各種金碗，每隻碗重量多少；用多少份量的銀子，製各種銀碗，每隻碗重量多少；
And pure golde for the fleshhookes, and the bowles, and plates, and for basens, golde in weight for euery basen, and for siluer basens, by weight for euery basen,
18 用多少份量的純金，製造香壇；最後給他指定了車子的圖樣，即展開翅膀遮蓋上主的約櫃的金革魯的圖樣：
And for the altar of incense, pure golde by weight, and golde for the paterne of the charet of the Cherubs that spread themselues, and couered the Arke of the couenant of the Lord:
19 這一切，即這一切工作的圖樣，都給他按照上主的指示劃了出來。[勸勉撒羅滿]
All, said he, by writing sent to me by the hand of the Lord, which made me vnderstand all the workemanship of the paterne.
20 達味又對他的兒子撒羅滿說：「你要勇敢勉力去行，不必害怕，不必畏懼，因為上主天主，我的天主必與你同在；他決不遠離你，決不拋棄你，直到你完成修築上主殿宇的一切工作。
And Dauid said to Salomon his sonne, Be strong, and of a valiant courage and doe it: feare not, nor be afraide: for the Lord God, euen my God is with thee: he will not leaue thee nor forsake thee till thou hast finished all the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lord.
21 你看，司祭和肋未人已分好班次，奉行天主殿內的事務；在各種工作上，又有各種的巧匠自願輔助你，首領和全體人民又都聽你的指揮。」
Beholde also, the companies of the Priests and the Leuites for all the seruice of the house of God, euen they shall be with thee for the whole worke, with euery free heart that is skilfull in any maner of seruice. The princes also and all the people will be wholy at thy commandement.
