歷代志下 8
1 所羅門建造耶和華殿和王宮，二十年才完畢了。
And it came to pass after twenty years, in which Solomon built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
2 以後所羅門重新修築希蘭送給他的那些城邑，使以色列人住在那裏。
that Solomon rebuilt the cities which Chiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell in them.
3 所羅門往哈馬瑣巴去，攻取了那地方。
And Solomon came to Baesoba, and fortified it.
4 所羅門建造曠野裏的達莫，又建造哈馬所有的積貨城，
And he built Thoedmor in the wilderness, and all the strong cities which he built in Emath.
5 又建造上伯‧和崙、下伯‧和崙作為保障，都有牆，有門，有閂；
And he built Baethoron the upper, and Baethoron the lower, strong cities, —they had walls, gates, and bars;
6 又建造巴拉和所有的積貨城，並屯車輛馬兵的城，與耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全國中所願意建造的。
and Balaath, and all the strong cities which Solomon had, and all his chariot cities, and cities of horsemen, and all things that Solomon desired according to his desire of building, in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all his kingdom.
7 至於國中所剩下不屬以色列人的赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
[As for] all the people that was left of the Chettites, and the Amorites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, who are not of Israel,
8 就是以色列人未曾滅絕的，所羅門挑取他們的後裔作服苦的奴僕，直到今日。
but were of the children of them whom the children Israel destroyed not, that were left after them in the land, even them did Solomon make tributaries to this day.
9 惟有以色列人，所羅門不使他們當奴僕做工，乃是作他的戰士、軍長的統領、車兵長、馬兵長。
But Solomon did not make any of the children of Israel servants in his kingdom; for, behold, [they were] warriors and rulers, and mighty [men], and captains of chariots and horsemen.
10 所羅門王有二百五十督工的，監管工人。
And these are the chiefs of the officers of king Solomon, two hundred and fifty overseeing the work among the people.
11 所羅門將法老的女兒帶出大衛城，上到為她建造的宮裏；因所羅門說：「耶和華約櫃所到之處都為聖地，所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大衛的宮裏。」
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao from the city of David to the house which he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the city of David, the king of Israel, for [the place] is holy into which the ark of the Lord has entered.
12 所羅門在耶和華的壇上，就是在廊子前他所築的壇上，與耶和華獻燔祭；
Then Solomon offered up to the Lord whole burnt offerings on the altar which he had built to the Lord before the temple,
13 又遵着摩西的吩咐在安息日、月朔，並一年三節，就是除酵節、七七節、住棚節，獻每日所當獻的祭。
according to the daily rate, to offer up [sacrifices] according to the commandments of Moses, on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, three times in the year, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles.
14 所羅門照着他父大衛所定的例，派定祭司的班次，使他們各供己事，又使利未人各盡其職，讚美耶和華，在祭司面前做每日所當做的；又派守門的按着班次看守各門，因為神人大衛是這樣吩咐的。
And he established, according to the order of his father David, the courses of the priests, and [that] according to their public ministrations: and the Levites [were appointed] over their charges, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily order: and the porters were appointed according to their courses to the different gates: for thus [were] the commandments of David the man of God.
15 王所吩咐眾祭司和利未人的，無論是管府庫或辦別的事，他們都不違背。
They transgressed not the commandments of the king concerning the priests and the Levites with regard to everything else, and with regard to the treasures.
16 所羅門建造耶和華的殿，從立根基直到成功的日子，工料俱備。這樣，耶和華的殿全然完畢。
Now all the work had been prepared from the day when the foundation was laid, until Solomon finished the house of the Lord.
17 那時，所羅門往以東地靠海的以旬‧迦別和以祿去。
Then Solomon went to Gasion Gaber, and to Aelath near the sea in the land of Idumea.
18 希蘭差遣他的臣僕，將船隻和熟悉泛海的僕人送到所羅門那裏。他們同着所羅門的僕人到了俄斐，得了四百五十他連得金子，運到所羅門王那裏。
And Chiram sent by the hand of his servants ships, and servants skilled in naval affairs; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Sophira, and brought thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and they came to king Solomon.
