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 called together all the rulers of Israel, the rulers of tribes and the rulers of the courses who waited upon the king, —and the rulers of thousands and the rulers of hundreds, and the rulers over all the possessions and substance that belonged to the king and to his sons, with the courtiers and the heroes, even every hero of valour, unto 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。
Then David the king rose up on his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people, —As for me, it was near my heart, to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and for the footstool of our God, and I made ready to build.
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 to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my Name, —for, a man of war, thou art, and, blood, hast thou shed.
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。
Howbeit Yahweh, God of Israel, made choice of me, out of all of the house of my father, to become king over Israel unto times age-abiding, for, of Judah, had he made choice to be chief ruler, and, in the house of Judah, the house of my father, —and, among the sons of my father, with me, was he well-pleased, to make me 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, from among all my sons, —for, many sons, hath Yahweh given me, —he hath made choice of Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Yahweh, 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 he said unto am, Solomon thy son—he, shall build my house, and my courts, —for I have made choice of him that he may be my son, and that, I, may be his 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。’
So will I establish his kingdom, unto times age-abiding, —if he be strong, to do my commandments and my regulations, 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。
Now, therefore, in the eyes of all Israel—the convocation of Yahweh, and in the ears of our God, Observe and seek all the commandments of Yahweh your God, —to the end that ye may possess the good land, —and suffer your sons after you to inherit it, unto times age-abiding.
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。
Thou, therefore, Solomon my son, Know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing soul, for, all hearts, doth Yahweh search, and, every devised purpose, doth he understand, —If thou seek him, He will be found of thee, but, if thou forsake him, He will cast thee off 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, that, Yahweh, hath made choice of thee, to build a house for a sanctuary—be strong and do!
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，
Then gave David unto Solomon his son, the plan of the porch, and the recesses thereof, and the treasuries thereof, and the upper rooms thereof, and the inner chambers thereof, and the recess for the propitiatory;
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 of all which had come by the spirit to be with him, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the rooms round about, —for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of hallowed things;
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 for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, —and for all the utensils of the service of the house of Yahweh:
14 以及各样应用金器的分两和各样应用银器的分两，
of gold, by weight, for the gold, for all manner of utensils for each several service, —for all manner of utensils of silver, by weight, for all manner of utensils for each several service;
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；
and a weight, for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by the weight of each several lampstand, and the lamps thereof, —and for the lampstands of silver by weight, for each lampstand and the lamps thereof, according to the service of each several lampstand.
16 陈设饼金桌子的分两，银桌子的分两，
And the gold [gave he] by weight for the tables for setting in array, for each several table, —and silver, for 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，
and the fleshhooks and the bowls and the cups, pure gold, —and for the goblets of gold, by weight for each several goblet, and for the goblets of silver, by weight for each several goblet;
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, for the altar of incense, refined gold, by weight, —and, for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, gold, for them that were spreading out, and covering the ark of the covenant of Yahweh: —
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。”
the whole in writing, From the hand of Yahweh upon me, to give understanding, —all the works 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。
Then said David, unto Solomon his son, Be strong and bold, and act, thou mayest not fear nor be dismayed, —for, Yahweh, God, my God, will be with thee, he will not let thee go, neither will he forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh.
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 there are the courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God, —and, with thee, in all manner of work, is every willing, skilful man for any service, also the rulers and all the people, for all thine affairs.
