历代志下 1

1 大卫的儿子所罗门国位坚固；耶和华—他的 神与他同在，使他甚为尊大。

And Solomon the son of David was established over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and increased him exceedingly.

2 所罗门吩咐以色列众人，就是千夫长、百夫长、审判官、首领与族长都来。

And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and to the captains of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers over Israel, even the heads of the families;

3 所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去，因那里有 神的会幕，就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。

and Solomon and all the congregation went to the high place that was in Gabaon, where was God's tabernacle of witness, which Moses the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness.

4 只是 神的约柜，大卫已经从基列·耶琳搬到他所预备的地方，因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕，

But David had brought up the ark of God out of the city of Cariathiarim; for David had prepared a place for it, for he had pitched a tabernacle for it in Jerusalem.

5 并且户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前。所罗门和会众都就近坛前。

And the brazen altar which Beseleel the son of Urias, the son of Or, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation enquired at it.

6 所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里，献一千牺牲为燔祭。

And Solomon brought [victims] there to the brazen altar that was before the Lord in the tabernacle, and offered upon it a thousand whole burnt offerings.

7 当夜， 神向所罗门显现，对他说：“你愿我赐你什么，你可以求。”

In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.

8 所罗门对 神说：“你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。

And Solomon said to God, You have dealt very mercifully with my father David, and have made me king in his stead.

9 耶和华 神啊，现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话；因你立我作这民的王，他们如同地上尘沙那样多。

And now, O Lord God, let, I pray you, your name be established upon David my father; for you have made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.

10 求你赐我智慧聪明，我好在这民前出入；不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢？”

Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this your great people?

11 神对所罗门说：“我已立你作我民的王。你既有这心意，并不求资财、丰富、尊荣，也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命，又不求大寿数，只求智慧聪明好判断我的民；

And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of your enemies, and you have not asked long life; but have asked for yourself wisdom and understanding, that you might judge my people, over whom I have made you king:

12 我必赐你智慧聪明，也必赐你资财、丰富、尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样，在你以后也必没有这样的。”

I give you this wisdom and understanding; and I will give you wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like you among the kings before you, neither shall there be such after you.

13 于是，所罗门从基遍邱坛会幕前回到耶路撒冷，治理以色列人。

And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gabaon to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and reigned over Israel.

14 所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。

And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king in Jerusalem.

15 王在耶路撒冷使金银多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。

And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judea as sycamores in the plain for multitude.

16 所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。

And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded,

17 他们从埃及买来的车，每辆价银六百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。

and went and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and for the kings of Syria by their means.
