1 Chronicles 29
1 And king David spoke to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still a tender boy. And yet the work is great, for a habitation is being prepared, not for man, but for God.
[達味勸捐]達味王又對全會眾說：「我的兒子撒羅滿，天主所特天主；
2 Now with all my ability, I have prepared the expenses for the house of my God: gold for items of gold, and silver for those of silver, brass for those of brass, iron for those of iron, and wood for those of wood, and stones of onyx, and stones like alabaster, and stones of diverse colors, and every kind of precious stone, and marble from Paros in great abundance.
為此，我竭盡力量為我天主的殿宇，預備了金子作金器，銀子作銀器，銅作銅器，鐵作鐵器，木作木器，且有紅瑪瑙、可鑲嵌的寶石、孔雀石、斑色石、各種玉石，以及很多大理石。
3 And in addition to these things that I have offered into the house of my God, I give, from my own belongings, gold and silver for the temple of my God, aside from those things that I have prepared for the holy shrine:
此外，因為我愛我天主的殿宇，除了我為建築聖殿所準備的以外，我還將我私蓄的金銀，獻給我天主的殿宇：
4 three thousand talents of gold, from the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of highly-refined silver, for the gilding of the walls of the temple;
就是敖非爾金子三千「塔冷通，」純銀七千「塔冷通，」為包殿內的牆壁；
5 and gold for wherever there is need of gold, and silver for wherever there is need of silver, for the works to be done by the hands of the artisans. And if anyone freely offers, let him fill his hand this day, and let him offer whatever he wishes to the Lord.”
金子用來製造金器，銀子用來製造銀器，和匠人所應作的一切巧工。今天誰自願給上主捐獻呢﹖」
6 And so the leaders of the families, and the nobles of the tribes of Israel, as well as the tribunes and the centurions and the overseers of the king’s possessions, promised
於是各族長、以色列各支派的首領、千夫長、百夫長以及掌管君王勞役的主管，都自願捐獻。
7 and gave, for the works of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and also one hundred thousand talents of iron.
為了天主殿宇的用途，他們捐獻了五千「塔冷通」金子，一萬「達理克，」一萬「塔冷通」銀子，一暗八千「塔冷通」銅和十萬「塔冷通」鐵。
8 And whoever found precious stones among their belongings gave them to the treasuries of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
凡有寶石的，都交入上主殿內府庫裏，由革爾雄人耶希耳保管。
9 And the people rejoiced, since they were promising their votive offerings willingly. For they were offering these to the Lord with all their heart. And king David also rejoiced with great gladness.
百姓都因這些人甘願捐獻而高興，因為他們都甘心情願向上主捐獻；達味君王也非常高興。[達味讚頌上主]
10 And he blessed the Lord before the entire multitude, and he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father from eternity to eternity.
達味遂在全會眾面前讚頌上主說：「上主，我們的祖先以色列的天主應受讚美，從永遠直到永遠!
11 Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers.
上主! 偉大、能力、榮耀、壯麗和威嚴都歸於你，因為上天下地所有的一切都是你的。上主! 王權屬於你，你應受舉揚為萬有的元首。
12 Yours is wealth, and yours is glory. You have dominion over all things. In your hand is virtue and power. In your hand is greatness and authority over all things.
富貴和光榮由你而來，你是一切的主宰；力量和權能在你手中；人強大，人昌盛，都出於你手。
13 Now therefore, we confess to you, our God, and we praise your famous name.
我們的天主，現在我們稱頌你，讚揚你榮耀的名。
14 Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise all these things to you? All is yours. And so the things that we received from your hand, we have given to you.
我算什麼﹖我的百姓又算什麼﹖竟有能力如此甘願捐獻﹖其實一切是由你而來，我們只是將由你手中得來的，再奉獻給你。
15 For we are sojourners and new arrivals before you, as all our fathers were. Our days upon the earth are like a shadow, and there is no delay.
我們在你面前是外方人，是旅居作客的，一如我們的祖先；我們在世上的時日有如陰影，不能持久。
16 O Lord our God, all this abundance, which we have prepared so that a house may be built to your holy name, is from your hand, and all things are yours.
上主我們的天主! 我們為建築敬拜你聖名的殿宇所預備的這一切財物，都是由你而來，也完全是你的。
17 I know, my God, that you test hearts, and that you love simplicity. Therefore, in the simplicity of my heart, I also have offered all these things joyfully. And I have seen, with immense gladness, your people, who have been found here, offering their donations to you.
我的天主! 我知道你考驗人心，你喜愛正直，我即以正直的心自願獻上這一切，並且我現在很喜歡看見你在這裏的百姓，都自願向你捐獻。
18 O Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham and Isaac and Israel, preserve unto eternity this desire of their heart, and let this purpose remain forever, for the worship of you.
上主，我們祖先亞巴郎、依撒格、以色列的天主! 求你永遠使你的人民保存這種心思意願，令他們的心靈堅定於你。
19 Also, I give to my son Solomon a perfect heart, so that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your ceremonies, and so that he may accomplish all things, and may build the temple, for which I have prepared the expenses.”
求你賜給我兒撒羅滿一顆純全的心，遵守你的誡命、你的法律和你的典章，一一實行，用我所準備的來建築殿宇。」
20 Then David instructed the entire assembly: “Bless the Lord our God.” And the entire assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers. And they bowed themselves, and they adored God, and next they reverenced the king.
達味對全會眾說：「你們應該讚頌上主，你們的天主! 」全會眾便讚頌了上主，他們祖先的天主，向上主，及君王俯首下拜。[撒羅滿登極]
21 And they immolated victims to the Lord. And they offered holocausts on the following day: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and with every ritual, very abundantly, for all of Israel.
次日，他向上主獻了全燔祭：牛犢一千，公山羊一千，羔羊一千，以及同獻的奠祭，並為以色列民眾獻了許多犧牲。
22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day, with great rejoicing. And they anointed Solomon, the son of David, a second time. And they anointed him to the Lord as the ruler, and Zadok as the high priest.
那天，他們在上主面前，歡天喜地地吃喝，以後，他們二次立達味的兒子撒羅滿為王，給他傅油，為上主作人君；又給匝多克傅油，立他為大司祭。
23 And Solomon sat upon the throne of the Lord as king, in place of his father David, and it pleased everyone. And all of Israel obeyed him.
於是撒羅滿坐在上主的寶座上，代他父親達味為王；他非常順利，全以色列都服從他。
24 Moreover, all the leaders, and the powerful, and all the sons of king David pledged with their hand, and they became subject to king Solomon.
所有的首領、勇士以及達味王所有的兒子，都屬撒羅滿王權下。
25 Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.
上主在全以色列民眾面前，特別高舉了撒羅滿，賜予他君王的威嚴，勝過以前所有的以色列君王。[達味逝世]
26 Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.
葉瑟的兒子達味統治了全以色列，
27 And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
統治以色列為時凡四十年：在赫貝龍為王七年，在耶路撒冷為王三十三年。
28 And he died at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.
他死時年紀很大，享了高壽和榮華富貴；他的兒子撒羅滿繼位為王。
29 Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
達味王的前後事蹟，都記載在先見者撒慕爾言行錄、先知納堂言行錄和先見者加得言行錄上。
30 concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.
他與國家有關的大事、他的武功，以及他與以色列和四鄰各國所經歷的史事，全都記載在這些書上。
