历代志上 29
1 大卫王对会众说：“我儿子所罗门是 神特选的，还年幼娇嫩；这工程甚大，因这殿不是为人，乃是为耶和华 神建造的。
And king David spoke to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still a tender boy. And yet the work is great, for a habitation is being prepared, not for man, but for God.
2 我为我 神的殿已经尽力，预备金子做金器，银子做银器，铜做铜器，铁做铁器，木做木器，还有红玛瑙可镶嵌的宝石，彩石和一切的宝石，并许多汉白玉。
Now with all my ability, I have prepared the expenses for the house of my God: gold for items of gold, and silver for those of silver, brass for those of brass, iron for those of iron, and wood for those of wood, and stones of onyx, and stones like alabaster, and stones of diverse colors, and every kind of precious stone, and marble from Paros in great abundance.
3 且因我心中爱慕我 神的殿，就在预备建造圣殿的材料之外，又将我自己积蓄的金银献上，建造我 神的殿，
And in addition to these things that I have offered into the house of my God, I give, from my own belongings, gold and silver for the temple of my God, aside from those things that I have prepared for the holy shrine:
4 就是俄斐金三千他连得、精炼的银子七千他连得，以贴殿墙。
three thousand talents of gold, from the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of highly-refined silver, for the gilding of the walls of the temple;
5 金子做金器，银子做银器，并借匠人的手制造一切。今日有谁乐意将自己献给耶和华呢？”
and gold for wherever there is need of gold, and silver for wherever there is need of silver, for the works to be done by the hands of the artisans. And if anyone freely offers, let him fill his hand this day, and let him offer whatever he wishes to the Lord.”
6 于是，众族长和以色列各支派的首领、千夫长、百夫长，并监管王工的官长，都乐意献上。
And so the leaders of the families, and the nobles of the tribes of Israel, as well as the tribunes and the centurions and the overseers of the king’s possessions, promised
7 他们为 神殿的使用献上金子五千他连得零一万达利克，银子一万他连得，铜一万八千他连得，铁十万他连得。
and gave, for the works of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and also one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 凡有宝石的都交给革顺人耶歇，送入耶和华殿的府库。
And whoever found precious stones among their belongings gave them to the treasuries of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 因这些人诚心乐意献给耶和华，百姓就欢喜，大卫王也大大欢喜。
And the people rejoiced, since they were promising their votive offerings willingly. For they were offering these to the Lord with all their heart. And king David also rejoiced with great gladness.
10 所以，大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华说：“耶和华—我们的父，以色列的 神是应当称颂，直到永永远远的！
And he blessed the Lord before the entire multitude, and he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father from eternity to eternity.
11 耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；国度也是你的，并且你为至高，为万有之首。
Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers.
12 丰富尊荣都从你而来，你也治理万物。在你手里有大能大力，使人尊大强盛都出于你。
Yours is wealth, and yours is glory. You have dominion over all things. In your hand is virtue and power. In your hand is greatness and authority over all things.
13 我们的 神啊，现在我们称谢你，赞美你荣耀之名！
Now therefore, we confess to you, our God, and we praise your famous name.
14 “我算什么，我的民算什么，竟能如此乐意奉献？因为万物都从你而来，我们把从你而得的献给你。
Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise all these things to you? All is yours. And so the things that we received from your hand, we have given to you.
15 我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影儿，不能长存。
For we are sojourners and new arrivals before you, as all our fathers were. Our days upon the earth are like a shadow, and there is no delay.
16 耶和华—我们的 神啊，我们预备这许多材料，要为你的圣名建造殿宇，都是从你而来，都是属你的。
O Lord our God, all this abundance, which we have prepared so that a house may be built to your holy name, is from your hand, and all things are yours.
17 我的 神啊，我知道你察验人心，喜悦正直；我以正直的心乐意献上这一切物。现在我喜欢见你的民在这里都乐意奉献与你。
I know, my God, that you test hearts, and that you love simplicity. Therefore, in the simplicity of my heart, I also have offered all these things joyfully. And I have seen, with immense gladness, your people, who have been found here, offering their donations to you.
18 耶和华—我们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的 神啊，求你使你的民常存这样的心思意念，坚定他们的心归向你，
O Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham and Isaac and Israel, preserve unto eternity this desire of their heart, and let this purpose remain forever, for the worship of you.
19 又求你赐我儿子所罗门诚实的心，遵守你的命令、法度、律例，成就这一切的事，用我所预备的建造殿宇。”
Also, I give to my son Solomon a perfect heart, so that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your ceremonies, and so that he may accomplish all things, and may build the temple, for which I have prepared the expenses.”
20 大卫对全会众说：“你们应当称颂耶和华—你们的 神。”于是会众称颂耶和华—他们列祖的 神，低头拜耶和华与王。
Then David instructed the entire assembly: “Bless the Lord our God.” And the entire assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers. And they bowed themselves, and they adored God, and next they reverenced the king.
21 次日，他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭，就是献公牛一千只，公绵羊一千只，羊羔一千只，并同献的奠祭；又为以色列众人献许多的祭。那日，他们在耶和华面前吃喝，大大欢乐。
And they immolated victims to the Lord. And they offered holocausts on the following day: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and with every ritual, very abundantly, for all of Israel.
22 他们奉耶和华的命再膏大卫的儿子所罗门作王，又膏撒督作祭司。
And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day, with great rejoicing. And they anointed Solomon, the son of David, a second time. And they anointed him to the Lord as the ruler, and Zadok as the high priest.
23 于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上，接续他父亲大卫作王，万事亨通；以色列众人也都听从他。
And Solomon sat upon the throne of the Lord as king, in place of his father David, and it pleased everyone. And all of Israel obeyed him.
24 众首领和勇士，并大卫王的众子，都顺服所罗门王。
Moreover, all the leaders, and the powerful, and all the sons of king David pledged with their hand, and they became subject to king Solomon.
25 耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人眼前甚为尊大，极其威严，胜过在他以前的以色列王。
Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.
26 耶西的儿子大卫作以色列众人的王，
Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.
27 作王共四十年：在希伯 作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 他年纪老迈，日子满足，享受丰富、尊荣，就死了。他儿子所罗门接续他作王。
And he died at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.
29 大卫王始终的事都写在先见撒母耳的书上和先知拿单并先见迦得的书上。
Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30 他的国事和他的勇力，以及他和以色列并列国所经过的事都写在这书上。
concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.
