1 Chronicles 29
1 And king David said to all the assembly: Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is as yet young and tender: and the work is great, for a house is prepared not for man, but for God.
大衛王對會眾說：「我兒子所羅門是上帝特選的，還年幼嬌嫩；這工程甚大，因這殿不是為人，乃是為耶和華上帝建造的。
2 And I with all my ability have prepared the expenses for the house of my God. Gold for vessels of gold, and silver for vessels of silver, brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood: and onyx stones, and stones like alabaster, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble of Paros in great abundance.
我為我上帝的殿已經盡力，預備金子做金器，銀子做銀器，銅做銅器，鐵做鐵器，木做木器，還有紅瑪瑙可鑲嵌的寶石，彩石和一切的寶石，並許多漢白玉。
3 Now over and above the things which I have offered into the house of my God I give of my own proper goods, gold and silver for the temple of my God, beside what things I have prepared for the holy house.
且因我心中愛慕我上帝的殿，就在預備建造聖殿的材料之外，又將我自己積蓄的金銀獻上，建造我上帝的殿，
4 Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir: and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the temple.
就是俄斐金三千他連得、精鍊的銀子七千他連得，以貼殿牆。
5 And gold for wheresoever there is need of gold: and silver for wheresoever there is need of silver, for the works to be made by the hands of the artificers: now if any man is willing to offer, let him fill his hand today, and offer what he pleaseth to the Lord.
金子做金器，銀子做銀器，並藉匠人的手製造一切。今日有誰樂意將自己獻給耶和華呢？」
6 Then the heads of the families, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and the overseers of the king’s possessions promised,
於是，眾族長和以色列各支派的首領、千夫長、百夫長，並監管王工的官長，都樂意獻上。
7 And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord, of gold, five thousand talents, and ten thousand solids: of silver ten thousand talents: and of brass eighteen thousand talents: and of iron a hundred thousand talents.
他們為上帝殿的使用獻上金子五千他連得零一萬達利克，銀子一萬他連得，銅一萬八千他連得，鐵十萬他連得。
8 And all they that had stones, gave them to the treasures of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jahiel the Gersonite.
凡有寶石的都交給革順人耶歇，送入耶和華殿的府庫。
9 And the people rejoiced, when they promised their offerings willingly: because they offered them to the Lord with all their heart: and David the king rejoiced also with a great joy.
因這些人誠心樂意獻給耶和華，百姓就歡喜，大衛王也大大歡喜。
10 And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity.
所以，大衛在會眾面前稱頌耶和華說：「耶和華－我們的父，以色列的上帝是應當稱頌，直到永永遠遠的！
11 Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes.
耶和華啊，尊大、能力、榮耀、強勝、威嚴都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；國度也是你的，並且你為至高，為萬有之首。
12 Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.
豐富尊榮都從你而來，你也治理萬物。在你手裏有大能大力，使人尊大強盛都出於你。
13 Now therefore our God we give thanks to thee, and we praise thy glorious name.
我們的上帝啊，現在我們稱謝你，讚美你榮耀之名！
14 Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise thee all these things? all things are thine: and we have given thee what we received of thy hand.
「我算甚麼，我的民算甚麼，竟能如此樂意奉獻？因為萬物都從你而來，我們把從你而得的獻給你。
15 For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were all our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a shadow, and there is no stay.
我們在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，與我們列祖一樣。我們在世的日子如影兒，不能長存。
16 O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are thine.
耶和華－我們的上帝啊，我們預備這許多材料，要為你的聖名建造殿宇，都是從你而來，都是屬你的。
17 I know my God that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.
我的上帝啊，我知道你察驗人心，喜悅正直；我以正直的心樂意獻上這一切物。現在我喜歡見你的民在這裏都樂意奉獻與你。
18 O Lord God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel our fathers, keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always for the worship of thee.
耶和華－我們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的上帝啊，求你使你的民常存這樣的心思意念，堅定他們的心歸向你，
19 And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, that he may keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things: and build the house, for which I have provided the charges.
又求你賜我兒子所羅門誠實的心，遵守你的命令、法度、律例，成就這一切的事，用我所預備的建造殿宇。」
20 And David commanded all the assembly: Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers: and they bowed themselves and worshipped God, and then the king.
大衛對全會眾說：「你們應當稱頌耶和華－你們的上帝。」於是會眾稱頌耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，低頭拜耶和華與王。
21 And they sacrificed victims to the Lord: and they offered holocausts the next day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their libations, and with every thing prescribed most abundantly for all Israel.
次日，他們向耶和華獻平安祭和燔祭，就是獻公牛一千隻，公綿羊一千隻，羊羔一千隻，並同獻的奠祭；又為以色列眾人獻許多的祭。那日，他們在耶和華面前吃喝，大大歡樂。
22 And they ate, and drank before the Lord that day with great joy. And they anointed the second time Solomon the son of David. And they anointed him to the Lord to be prince, and Sadoc to be high priest.
他們奉耶和華的命再膏大衛的兒子所羅門作王，又膏撒督作祭司。
23 And Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he pleased all: and all Israel obeyed him.
於是所羅門坐在耶和華所賜的位上，接續他父親大衛作王，萬事亨通；以色列眾人也都聽從他。
24 And all the princes, and men of power, and all the sons of king David gave their hand, and were subject to Solomon the king.
眾首領和勇士，並大衛王的眾子，都順服所羅門王。
25 And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel: and gave him the glory of a reign, such as no king of Israel had before him.
耶和華使所羅門在以色列眾人眼前甚為尊大，極其威嚴，勝過在他以前的以色列王。
26 So David the son of Isai reigned over all Israel.
耶西的兒子大衛作以色列眾人的王，
27 And the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem three and thirty years.
作王共四十年：在希伯崙作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
28 And he died in a good age, full of days, and riches, and glory. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
他年紀老邁，日子滿足，享受豐富、尊榮，就死了。他兒子所羅門接續他作王。
29 Now the acts of king David first and last are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer:
大衛王始終的事都寫在先見撒母耳的書上和先知拿單並先見迦得的書上。
30 And of all his reign, and his valour, and of the times that passed under him, either in Israel, or in all the kingdoms of the countries.
他的國事和他的勇力，以及他和以色列並列國所經過的事都寫在這書上。
