1 Chronicles 29
1 Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
大卫王对会众说：“我儿子所罗门是 神特选的，还年幼娇嫩；这工程甚大，因这殿不是为人，乃是为耶和华 神建造的。
2 Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.
我为我 神的殿已经尽力，预备金子做金器，银子做银器，铜做铜器，铁做铁器，木做木器，还有红玛瑙可镶嵌的宝石，彩石和一切的宝石，并许多汉白玉。
3 Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:
且因我心中爱慕我 神的殿，就在预备建造圣殿的材料之外，又将我自己积蓄的金银献上，建造我 神的殿，
4 three thousand talents of gold (the gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings,
就是俄斐金三千他连得、精炼的银子七千他连得，以贴殿墙。
5 for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”
金子做金器，银子做银器，并借匠人的手制造一切。今日有谁乐意将自己献给耶和华呢？”
6 Then the leaders of the households, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.
于是，众族长和以色列各支派的首领、千夫长、百夫长，并监管王工的官长，都乐意献上。
7 Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
他们为 神殿的使用献上金子五千他连得零一万达利克，银子一万他连得，铜一万八千他连得，铁十万他连得。
8 Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
凡有宝石的都交给革顺人耶歇，送入耶和华殿的府库。
9 And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.
因这些人诚心乐意献给耶和华，百姓就欢喜，大卫王也大大欢喜。
10 Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
所以，大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华说：“耶和华—我们的父，以色列的 神是应当称颂，直到永永远远的！
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.
耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；国度也是你的，并且你为至高，为万有之首。
12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.
丰富尊荣都从你而来，你也治理万物。在你手里有大能大力，使人尊大强盛都出于你。
13 Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.
我们的 神啊，现在我们称谢你，赞美你荣耀之名！
14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You.
“我算什么，我的民算什么，竟能如此乐意奉献？因为万物都从你而来，我们把从你而得的献给你。
15 For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影儿，不能长存。
16 O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You.
耶和华—我们的 神啊，我们预备这许多材料，要为你的圣名建造殿宇，都是从你而来，都是属你的。
17 I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.
我的 神啊，我知道你察验人心，喜悦正直；我以正直的心乐意献上这一切物。现在我喜欢见你的民在这里都乐意奉献与你。
18 O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.
耶和华—我们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的 神啊，求你使你的民常存这样的心思意念，坚定他们的心归向你，
19 And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”
又求你赐我儿子所罗门诚实的心，遵守你的命令、法度、律例，成就这一切的事，用我所预备的建造殿宇。”
20 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Blessed be the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.
大卫对全会众说：“你们应当称颂耶和华—你们的 神。”于是会众称颂耶和华—他们列祖的 神，低头拜耶和华与王。
21 The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
次日，他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭，就是献公牛一千只，公绵羊一千只，羊羔一千只，并同献的奠祭；又为以色列众人献许多的祭。那日，他们在耶和华面前吃喝，大大欢乐。
22 That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.
他们奉耶和华的命再膏大卫的儿子所罗门作王，又膏撒督作祭司。
23 So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上，接续他父亲大卫作王，万事亨通；以色列众人也都听从他。
24 All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.
众首领和勇士，并大卫王的众子，都顺服所罗门王。
25 The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.
耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人眼前甚为尊大，极其威严，胜过在他以前的以色列王。
26 David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.
耶西的儿子大卫作以色列众人的王，
27 The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
作王共四十年：在希伯 作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
28 He died at a ripe old age, full of years, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
他年纪老迈，日子满足，享受丰富、尊荣，就死了。他儿子所罗门接续他作王。
29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer,
大卫王始终的事都写在先见撒母耳的书上和先知拿单并先见迦得的书上。
30 together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.
他的国事和他的勇力，以及他和以色列并列国所经过的事都写在这书上。
