歷代志下 8
1 [撒羅滿的其他建設]撒羅滿建造上主的殿和自己的王宮歷時二十年；二十年過後，
And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the house of Jehovah, and his own house.
2 撒羅滿又重建了希蘭還給他的城邑，令以色列子民住在那裏。
As to the cities that Huram hath given to Solomon, Solomon hath built them, and there he causeth the sons of Israel to dwell.
3 此後，撒羅滿到了哈瑪特祚巴，征服了那地。
And Solomon goeth to Hamath-Zobah, and layeth hold upon it;
4 又修建了在曠野裏的塔德摩爾，在哈瑪特四周修築了儲藏城。
and he buildeth Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he hath built in Hamath.
5 又修築了上貝特曷龍和下貝特曷龍，作為有牆有門有閂的設防城。
And he buildeth Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower — cities of defence, with walls, two-leaved doors, and bar —
6 又建築了巴阿拉特和所屬於撒羅滿的儲藏城，以及一切屯車城和騎兵城；凡撒羅滿願意在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩以及他所管轄的境內所要建設的，都已建設了。
and Baalath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 至於其餘的人民，即那些不屬以色列的赫特人、阿摩黎人、培黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人，
All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not of Israel —
8 以色列子民沒有消滅，而他們凡留在此地的子孫，撒羅滿都徵來充作苦役，直到今天仍是如此。
of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel consumed not — doth Solomon lift up a tribute unto this day.
9 撒羅滿並沒有使以色列子民為他的工作擔任苦役，因為他們是他的戰士、將官、戰車長和騎兵長。
And none of the sons of Israel hath Solomon made servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;
10 撒羅滿的監察官，共有二百五十人，監管百姓。
and these [are] heads of the officers whom king Solomon hath, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among the people.
11 撒羅滿又將法郎的女兒，從達味城搬到為她建築的宮中，因為他說：「連我的妻子，也不可住在以色列王達味的宮中，因為上主約櫃所到的地方是聖地。」
And the daughter of Pharaoh hath Solomon brought up from the city of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, 'My wife doth not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy unto whom hath come the ark of Jehovah.'
12 那時，撒羅滿在上主的祭壇上，即他在門廊前所築的祭壇上，向上主獻了全燔祭；
Then hath Solomon caused to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah that he built before the porch,
13 並按梅瑟的吩咐，在安息日、新月和每年的三個節期：無酵節、七七節和帳棚節，奉獻每日應獻的祭品。
even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed seasons, three times in a year — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths.
14 它又照他父親達味的規定，為司祭派定了班次，各盡其職；又規定了肋未人的任務，令他們負責讚頌；照每日的定例，在司祭前服務；又派定了門丁，按照他們的班次守衛各門，因為天主的人達味是如此命令的。
And he establisheth, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister over-against the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their courses at gate and gate, for so [is] the command of David the man of God.
15 君王對司祭和肋未人所吩咐的任何職務，以及管理府庫的事，他們都沒有違抗。
And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and to the treasures.
16 由上主的殿奠基之日起，以迄完成，撒羅滿的一切工作完備無缺；上主的殿於是告成。
And all the work of Solomon is prepared till the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and till its completion; perfect is the house of Jehovah.
17 此後，撒羅滿往厄東地，到了濱海的厄茲雍革貝爾及厄拉特。
Then hath Solomon gone to Ezion-Geber, and unto Elath, on the border of the sea, in the land of Edom;
18 希蘭派遣自己的臣僕給他送來了船隻和善於航海的人；他們與撒羅滿的僕人同往敖非爾去，從那裏裝載了黃金四百五十「塔冷通，」運到撒羅滿王那裏。
and Huram sendeth to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and bring in unto king Solomon.
