历代志上 28
1 大卫招聚以色列各支派的首领和轮班服事王的军长，与千夫长、百夫长，掌管王和王子产业牲畜的，并太监，以及大能的勇士，都到耶路撒冷来。
And David assembled all the chief [men] of Israel, the chief of the judges, and all the chief [men] of the courses [of attendance] on the person of the king, and the captains of thousands and hundreds, and the treasurers, and the lords of his substance, and of all the king's property, and of his sons, together with the eunuchs, and the mighty men, and the warriors of the army, at Jerusalem.
2 大卫王就站起来，说：“我的弟兄，我的百姓啊，你们当听我言，我心里本想建造殿宇，安放耶和华的约柜，作为我 神的脚凳；我已经预备建造的材料。
And David stood in the midst of the assembly, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and a place for the feet of our Lord, and I prepared [materials] suitable for the building:
3 只是 神对我说：‘你不可为我的名建造殿宇；因你是战士，流了人的血。’
but God said, Thou shalt not build me a house to call my name upon it, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 然而，耶和华—以色列的 神在我父的全家拣选我作以色列的王，直到永远。因他拣选犹大为首领；在犹大支派中拣选我父家，在我父的众子里喜悦我，立我作以色列众人的王。
Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me out of the whole house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; and he chose Juda as the kingly [house], and out of the house of Juda [he chose] the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he preferred me, that I should be king over all Israel.
5 耶和华赐我许多儿子，在我儿子中拣选所罗门坐耶和华的国位，治理以色列人。
And of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons, ) he has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6 耶和华对我说：‘你儿子所罗门必建造我的殿和院宇；因为我拣选他作我的子，我也必作他的父。
And God said to me, Solomon thy son shall build my house and my court: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be to him a father.
7 他若恒久遵行我的诫命典章如今日一样，我就必坚定他的国位，直到永远。’
And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as [at] this day.
8 现今在耶和华的会中，以色列众人眼前所说的，我们的 神也听见了。你们应当寻求耶和华—你们 神的一切诫命，谨守遵行，如此你们可以承受这美地，遗留给你们的子孙，永远为业。
And now [I charge you] before the whole assembly of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, that ye may inherit the good land, and leave it for your sons to inherit after you for ever.
9 “我儿所罗门哪，你当认识耶和华—你父的 神，诚心乐意地事奉他；因为他鉴察众人的心，知道一切心思意念。你若寻求他，他必使你寻见；你若离弃他，他必永远丢弃你。
And now, [my] son Solomon, know the God of thy fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart and willing soul: for the Lord searches all hearts, and knows every thought: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shouldest forsake him, he will forsake thee for ever.
10 你当谨慎，因耶和华拣选你建造殿宇作为圣所。你当刚强去行。”
See now, for the Lord has chosen thee to build him a house for a sanctuary, be strong and do [it].
11 大卫将殿的游廊、旁屋、府库、楼房、内殿，和施恩所的样式指示他儿子所罗门，
And David gave Solomon his son the plan of the temple, and its buildings, and its treasuries, and its upper chambers, and the inner store-rooms, and the place of the atonement,
12 又将被灵感动所得的样式，就是耶和华 神殿的院子、周围的房屋、殿的府库，和圣物府库的一切样式都指示他；
and the plan which he had in his mind of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about, [designed] for the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the holy things, and of the chambers for resting:
13 又指示他祭司和利未人的班次与耶和华殿里各样的工作，并耶和华殿里一切器皿的样式，
and [the plan] of the courses of the priests and Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and of the stores of vessels for ministration of the service of the house of the Lord.
14 以及各样应用金器的分两和各样应用银器的分两，
And [he gave him] the account of their weight, both of gold and silver [vessels].
15 金灯台和金灯的分两，银灯台和银灯的分两，轻重各都合宜；
He gave him the weight of the candlesticks, and of the lamps.
16 陈设饼金桌子的分两，银桌子的分两，
He gave him likewise the weight of the tables of shewbread, of each table of gold, and likewise of the [tables of] silver:
17 精金的肉叉子、盘子，和爵的分两，各金碗与各银碗的分两，
also of the flesh-hooks, and vessels for drink-offering, and golden bowls: and the weight of the gold and silver [articles], and censers, [and] bowls, according to the weight of each.
18 精金香坛的分两，并用金子做基路伯；基路伯张开翅膀，遮掩耶和华的约柜。
And he shewed him the weight [of the utensils] of the altar of incense, [which was] of pure gold, and the plan of the chariot of the cherubs that spread out their wings, and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 大卫说：“这一切工作的样式都是耶和华用手划出来使我明白的。”
David gave all to Solomon in the Lord's handwriting, according to the knowledge given him of the work of the pattern.
20 大卫又对他儿子所罗门说：“你当刚强壮胆去行！不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。因为耶和华 神就是我的 神，与你同在；他必不撇下你，也不丢弃你，直到耶和华殿的工作都完毕了。
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and play the man, and do: fear not, neither be terrified; for the Lord my God [is] with thee; he will not forsake thee, and will not fail thee, until thou hast finished all the work of the service of the house of the Lord. And behold the pattern of the temple, even his house, and its treasury, and the upper chambers, and the inner store-rooms, and the place of propitiation, and the plan of the house of the Lord.
21 有祭司和利未人的各班，为要办理 神殿各样的事，又有灵巧的人在各样的工作上乐意帮助你；并有众首领和众民一心听从你的命令。”
And see, [here are] the courses of the priests and Levites for all the service of the house of the Lord, and [there shall be] with thee [men] for every workmanship, and every one of ready skill in every art: also the chief men and all the people, [ready] for all thy commands.
