1 Kings 9
1 And it came to pass when Solomon had completed the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
[上主再次顯現]撒羅滿建造完了上主的殿、王宮和他所喜歡建造的一切建築物以後，
2 that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
上主第二次顯現給撒羅滿，像在基貝紅顯現給他一樣。
3 And Jehovah said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication which thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
上主對他說：「我已應允了你在我面前所行的祈禱和哀求，我也祝聖了你所建築的這殿，將我的名永遠安放在那裏，我的眼和我的心，也將時常留在那裏。
4 And [as for] thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;
至於你，如果你在我面前行走，像你父親達味那樣行走，心地純樸，公正無私，遵守我所吩咐你的一切，恪守我的法律和點章，
5 then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
我必永遠鞏固你在以色列中的王位，照我應許你父親達味所說：你的子孫中，決不缺人坐上以色列的寶座。
6 [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments, my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them;
但是，如果你們或你們的子孫遠離我，不遵守我給你們頒賜的誡命和律例，而去服侍敬拜別的神，
7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by word among all peoples;
我必要將以色列從我賜給他們的地面上除掉，而我為我的名所祝聖的這殿，我也必要棄之不顧，使以色列成為萬民中的話柄和笑談，
8 and this house, [which] is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished at, and shall hiss, and they shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?
這殿要成為廢墟，凡從這裏經過的人，都要驚愕嗟歎說：上主為什麼這樣對待了這地和這殿﹖
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought upon them all this evil.
人必回答說：是因為他們離棄了領他們祖先出離埃及的上主，他們的天主，而歸依、崇拜、服侍了別的神，為此，上主使這一切災禍臨到他們的身上。」撒羅滿與希蘭的交易
10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house,
撒羅滿費時二十年，纔完成了那兩大殿宇：即上主的殿宇和君王的宮殿。
11 Hiram the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, — that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
其間提洛王希蘭曾依照撒羅滿的要求，供給了他香柏木、柏木和黃金。此時撒羅滿王便將加里肋亞境內二十座城，送給了希蘭。
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.
希蘭從提洛前來，觀看撒羅滿送給他的城，一見就不滿意，
13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.
說「吾兄，你送給我的這些城，是什麼城﹖」因此直到今日，這些城仍稱為加步耳地。
14 And Hiram had sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
希蘭原送給了撒羅滿王一百二十「塔冷通」黃金。建城造船
15 And this is the account of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
此段記載撒羅滿徵夫服役，建造上主的殿、王宮、米羅、耶路撒冷的城牆、哈祚爾、默基多、革則爾、【
16 — Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
以前，埃及王法郎曾上來，攻取了革則爾，放火燒城，屠殺了城裏的客納罕人，將這城賜給了自己的女兒，撒羅滿的妻子，作為妝奩。
17 — And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,
為此撒羅滿重修了革則爾。】下貝特曷龍、
18 and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
巴拉特和境內靠近曠野的塔瑪爾、
19 and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
撒羅滿所有的貯貨城、屯車城和養馬城，以及撒羅滿在耶路撒冷，在黎巴嫩，在他管轄的各地內，喜歡建造的一切建築物。
20 All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel,
至於不屬於以色列子民的阿摩黎人、赫特人、培黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人的遺族，
21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until this day.
就是以色列人子民未能消滅而留在地方上的外族子孫，撒羅滿都徵來充作苦役，直到今天。
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.
至於以色列子民，他不令他們作苦役，只叫他們服兵役，作朝臣、將帥、軍官、戰車長和騎兵長。
23 These were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
管理撒羅滿工程的主任官員，計有五百五十人，他們負責監督作工的人。
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had built for her: then he built Millo.
法郎的女兒從達味城，搬進撒羅滿為她建造的宮室之後，撒羅滿纔開始建造米羅。
25 And three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.
撒羅滿每年三次在他建的祭壇上，向上主奉獻全燔祭與和平祭，在上主面前的香壇上焚香；又常修理聖殿。
26 And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
此後，撒羅滿王又在厄東城，紅海之濱，靠近厄拉特的厄茲雍革貝爾建造船隻。
27 And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon;
希蘭派遣自己的臣僕，善於航海的船員，與撒羅滿的僕人同船航行，
28 and they went to Ophir, and fetched thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
去了敖非爾，從那裏裝載了四百二十「塔冷通」黃金，運到撒羅滿王那裏。
