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 cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the house of Jehovah, 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。
As to the cities that Huram hath given to Solomon, Solomon hath built them, and there he causeth the sons of Israel to dwell.
3 所羅門往哈馬瑣巴去，攻取了那地方。
And Solomon goeth to Hamath-Zobah, and layeth hold upon 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 buildeth Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he hath built in Hamath.
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 buildeth Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower — cities of defence, with walls, two-leaved doors, and bar —
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 Baalath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
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，
All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, 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。
of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel consumed not — doth Solomon lift up a tribute unto 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。
And none of the sons of Israel hath Solomon made servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;
10 所羅門王有二百五十督工的，監管工人。
and these [are] heads of the officers whom king Solomon hath, two hundred and fifty who are rulers 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 the daughter of Pharaoh hath Solomon brought up from the city of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, 'My wife doth not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy unto whom hath come the ark of Jehovah.'
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 hath Solomon caused to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah that he built before the porch,
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。
even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed seasons, three times in a year — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths.
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 establisheth, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister over-against the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their courses at gate and gate, for so [is] the command 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。
And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and 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。
And all the work of Solomon is prepared till the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and till its completion; perfect is the house of Jehovah.
17 那時，所羅門往以東地靠海的以旬‧迦別和以祿去。
Then hath Solomon gone to Ezion-Geber, and unto Elath, on the border of the sea, in the land of Edom;
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 Huram sendeth to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and bring in unto king Solomon.
