列王纪上 9
1 所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫，并一切所愿意建造的都完毕了，
Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,
2 耶和华就二次向所罗门显现，如先前在基遍向他显现一样，
the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 对他说：“你向我所祷告祈求的，我都应允了。我已将你所建的这殿分别为圣，使我的名永远在其中；我的眼、我的心也必常在那里。
And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
4 你若效法你父大卫，存诚实正直的心行在我面前，遵行我一切所吩咐你的，谨守我的律例典章，
And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
5 我就必坚固你的国位在以色列中，直到永远，正如我应许你父大卫说：‘你的子孙必不断人坐以色列的国位。’
then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
6 倘若你们和你们的子孙转去不跟从我，不守我指示你们的诫命律例，去事奉敬拜别神，
But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
7 我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上剪除，并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾，使以色列人在万民中作笑谈，被讥诮。
then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
8 这殿虽然甚高，将来经过的人必惊讶、嗤笑，说：‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢？’
And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
9 人必回答说：‘是因此地的人离弃领他们列祖出埃及地之耶和华—他们的 神，去亲近别神，事奉敬拜他，所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们。’”
And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
10 所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫，这两所二十年才完毕了。
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
11 泰尔王希兰曾照所罗门所要的，资助他香柏木、松木，和金子；所罗门王就把加利利地的二十座城给了希兰。
King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
12 希兰从泰尔出来，察看所罗门给他的城邑，就不喜悦，
So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
13 说：“我兄啊，你给我的是什么城邑呢？”他就给这城邑之地起名叫迦步勒，直到今日。
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
14 希兰给所罗门一百二十他连得金子。
And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
15 所罗门王挑取服苦的人，是为建造耶和华的殿、自己的宫、米罗、耶路撒冷的城墙、夏琐、米吉多，并基 色。
This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 先前埃及王法老上来攻取基色，用火焚烧，杀了城内居住的迦南人，将城赐给他女儿所罗门的妻作妆奁。
Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 所罗门建造基色、下伯·和 、
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
18 巴拉，并国中旷野里的达莫，
Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
19 又建造所有的积货城，并屯车和马兵的城，与耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全国中所愿建造的。
as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
20 至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
21 就是以色列人不能灭尽的，所罗门挑取他们的后裔作服苦的奴仆，直到今日。
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction —Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
22 惟有以色列人，所罗门不使他们作奴仆，乃是作他的战士、臣仆、统领、军长、车兵长、马兵长。
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
23 所罗门有五百五十督工的，监管工人。
They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
24 法老的女儿从大卫城搬到所罗门为她建造的宫里。那时，所罗门才建造米罗。
As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
25 所罗门每年三次在他为耶和华所筑的坛上献燔祭和平安祭，又在耶和华面前的坛上烧香。这样，他建造殿的工程完毕了。
Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
26 所罗门王在以东地红海边，靠近以禄的以旬·迦别制造船只。
King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
27 希兰差遣他的仆人，就是熟悉泛海的船家，与所罗门的仆人一同坐船航海。
And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
28 他们到了俄斐，从那里得了四百二十他连得金子，运到所罗门王那里。
They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
