列王紀上 9
1 [上主再次顯現]撒羅滿建造完了上主的殿、王宮和他所喜歡建造的一切建築物以後，
It happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
2 上主第二次顯現給撒羅滿，像在基貝紅顯現給他一樣。
that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 上主對他說：「我已應允了你在我面前所行的祈禱和哀求，我也祝聖了你所建築的這殿，將我的名永遠安放在那裏，我的眼和我的心，也將時常留在那裏。
And the LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your petition that you have made before me. I have done for you according to all your prayer. I have consecrated this house which you have built, to place my name there forever, and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
4 至於你，如果你在我面前行走，像你父親達味那樣行走，心地純樸，公正無私，遵守我所吩咐你的一切，恪守我的法律和點章，
As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;
5 我必永遠鞏固你在以色列中的王位，照我應許你父親達味所說：你的子孫中，決不缺人坐上以色列的寶座。
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.'
6 但是，如果你們或你們的子孫遠離我，不遵守我給你們頒賜的誡命和律例，而去服侍敬拜別的神，
But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
7 我必要將以色列從我賜給他們的地面上除掉，而我為我的名所祝聖的這殿，我也必要棄之不顧，使以色列成為萬民中的話柄和笑談，
then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
8 這殿要成為廢墟，凡從這裏經過的人，都要驚愕嗟歎說：上主為什麼這樣對待了這地和這殿﹖
And this house, which is exalted, will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will whistle, and they will say, 'Why has the LORD done this to this land, and to this house?'
9 人必回答說：是因為他們離棄了領他們祖先出離埃及的上主，他們的天主，而歸依、崇拜、服侍了別的神，為此，上主使這一切災禍臨到他們的身上。」撒羅滿與希蘭的交易
And they shall answer, 'Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore the LORD has brought all this disaster on them.'"
10 撒羅滿費時二十年，纔完成了那兩大殿宇：即上主的殿宇和君王的宮殿。
It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD and the king's house
11 其間提洛王希蘭曾依照撒羅滿的要求，供給了他香柏木、柏木和黃金。此時撒羅滿王便將加里肋亞境內二十座城，送給了希蘭。
(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galil.
12 希蘭從提洛前來，觀看撒羅滿送給他的城，一見就不滿意，
Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.
13 說「吾兄，你送給我的這些城，是什麼城﹖」因此直到今日，這些城仍稱為加步耳地。
He said, "What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" He called them the land of Cabul to this day.
14 希蘭原送給了撒羅滿王一百二十「塔冷通」黃金。建城造船
Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.
15 此段記載撒羅滿徵夫服役，建造上主的殿、王宮、米羅、耶路撒冷的城牆、哈祚爾、默基多、革則爾、【
This is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 以前，埃及王法郎曾上來，攻取了革則爾，放火燒城，屠殺了城裏的客納罕人，將這城賜給了自己的女兒，撒羅滿的妻子，作為妝奩。
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a portion to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 為此撒羅滿重修了革則爾。】下貝特曷龍、
Solomon built Gezer, and Lower Beth Horon,
18 巴拉特和境內靠近曠野的塔瑪爾、
and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,
19 撒羅滿所有的貯貨城、屯車城和養馬城，以及撒羅滿在耶路撒冷，在黎巴嫩，在他管轄的各地內，喜歡建造的一切建築物。
and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 至於不屬於以色列子民的阿摩黎人、赫特人、培黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人的遺族，
As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;
21 就是以色列人子民未能消滅而留在地方上的外族子孫，撒羅滿都徵來充作苦役，直到今天。
their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to this day.
22 至於以色列子民，他不令他們作苦役，只叫他們服兵役，作朝臣、將帥、軍官、戰車長和騎兵長。
But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
23 管理撒羅滿工程的主任官員，計有五百五十人，他們負責監督作工的人。
These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work, five hundred fifty, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
24 法郎的女兒從達味城，搬進撒羅滿為她建造的宮室之後，撒羅滿纔開始建造米羅。
But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then he built Millo.
25 撒羅滿每年三次在他建的祭壇上，向上主奉獻全燔祭與和平祭，在上主面前的香壇上焚香；又常修理聖殿。
Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD three times a year, burning incense with them, on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
26 此後，撒羅滿王又在厄東城，紅海之濱，靠近厄拉特的厄茲雍革貝爾建造船隻。
King Solomon also had a fleet of ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Eilat on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 希蘭派遣自己的臣僕，善於航海的船員，與撒羅滿的僕人同船航行，
Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 去了敖非爾，從那裏裝載了四百二十「塔冷通」黃金，運到撒羅滿王那裏。
They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
