< 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,
And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he desired, and was pleased 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,
That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon.
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 thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
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 if thou wilt walk before me, as thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness: and wilt do all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances and my judgments,
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。’
I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon 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 you and your children revolting shall turn away from following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies, which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and adore them:
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。
I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among all people.
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 this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house:
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 they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and followed strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫,这两所二十年才完毕了。
And when twenty years were ended after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
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。
(Hiram the king of Tyre furnishing Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and gold according to all he had need of.) then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 希兰从泰尔出来,察看所罗门给他的城邑,就不喜悦,
And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not,
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。
And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day.
14 希兰给所罗门一百二十他连得金子。
And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty 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 sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer.
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。
Pharao the king of Egypt came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 所罗门建造基色、下伯·和 、
So Solomon built: Gazer, and Beth-horon the nether,
18 巴拉,并国中旷野里的达莫,
And Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.
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。
And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified, the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all 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,
All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel:
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 children, that were left in the land, to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto 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 of the children of Israel Solomon made not any to be bondmen, but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and captains, and overseers of the chariots and horses.
23 所罗门有五百五十督工的,监管工人。
And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge over the appointed works.
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。
And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello.
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。
Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished.
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。
And king Solomon made a fleet in Asiongaber, which is by Ailath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
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 in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
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。
And they came to Ophir, and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold.
