1 Chronicles 22
1 And Dauid saide, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for the burnt offring of Israel.
達味歲說：「這裏就是上主天主的殿，這裏就是以色列獻全燔祭的祭壇。」[準備建殿材料]
2 And Dauid commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the lande of Israel, and he set masons to hewe and polish stones to builde the house of God.
達味下令招募在以色列境內的外方人，派石匠開鑿石頭，為建造天主的殿：
3 Dauid also prepared much yron for the nayles of the doores and of the gates, and for the ioynings, and abundance of brasse passing weight,
達味準備了大量的鐵，做門扇的釘子和鉤子；又準備了大量的銅，無法衡量；
4 And cedar trees without nomber: for the Zidonians and they of Tyrus brought much cedar wood to Dauid.
香柏木不可勝數，因為漆冬和提洛人給達味運來了無數的香柏木。
5 And Dauid saide, Salomon my sonne is yong and tender, and we must builde an house for the Lord, magnificall, excellent and of great fame and dignitie throughout all countreyes. I will therefore nowe prepare for him. So Dauid prepared very much before his death.
達味曾想：「我兒撒羅滿年幼脆弱；為上主要建造的殿宇，必須極其輝煌，聲譽榮耀應傳遍萬邦，所以我必須為他預備一切。」因此，達味在未死以前，預備了許多建築材料。[囑子建殿]
6 Then he called Salomon his sonne, and charged him to builde an house for the Lord God of Israel.
達味將兒子撒羅滿召來，囑咐他為上主以色列的天主建築殿宇。
7 And Dauid said to Salomon, My sonne, I purposed with my selfe to builde an house to the Name of the Lord my God,
達味對撒羅滿說：「我兒，我心裏原想為上主我的天主的名，建築一座殿宇；
8 But the worde of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great battels: thou shalt not builde an house vnto my Name: for thou hast shead much blood vpon the earth in my sight.
無奈有上主的話傳於我說：你流了許多血，屢經大戰，你不可為我的名建造殿宇，因為你在我面前往地上流了許多血。
9 Beholde, a sonne is borne to thee, which shalbe a man of rest, for I will giue him rest from all his enemies rounde about: therefore his name is Salomon: and I will sende peace and quietnes vpon Israel in his dayes.
看，你將生一個兒子，他是一個和平的人，我要使他安寧，不受四周一切仇敵的侵擾，因為他的名字要叫撒羅滿；他在位時，我要將和平與安寧賜予以色列。
10 Hee shall builde an house for my Name, and he shalbe my sonne, and I will be his father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdome vpon Israel for euer.
他將為我名建造殿宇，他將做我的兒子，我將做他的父親。我必鞏固他的王位，治理以色列，直到永遠。
11 Nowe therefore my sonne, the Lord shalbe with thee, and thou shalt prosper, and thou shalt builde an house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee.
我兒，如今，願上主與你同在，使你成功，為上主你的天主見造殿宇，有如他論及你所說的話。
12 Onely the Lord giue thee wisedome and vnderstanding, and giue thee charge ouer Israel, euen to keepe the Lawe of the Lord thy God.
唯願上主賜給你智慧和聰明，使你治理以色列時，遵循上主你的天主的法律。
13 Then thou shalt prosper, if thou take heede to obserue the statutes and the iudgements which the Lord commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and of good courage: feare not, neither bee afraide.
如果你謹守遵行上主藉梅瑟吩咐以色列的法律和典章，你必會成功；要有膽量，咬勇氣，不必畏懼，不必驚惶。
14 For beholde, according to my pouertie haue I prepared for the house of the Lord an hundreth thousand talents of golde, and a thousand thousande talents of siluer, and of brasse and of yron passing weight: for there was abundance: I haue also prepared timber and stone, and thou mayest prouide more thereto.
你看，我辛辛苦苦為上主的殿宇，預備了十萬「塔冷通」的金子，一百萬」塔冷通」的銀子，銅和鐵多得不可衡量；又預備了木料和石頭，你還可以補充。
15 Moreouer thou hast workmen with thee enough, hewers of stone, and workemen for timber, and all men expert in euery worke.
並且在你身邊還有許多工匠、鑿匠、石匠、木匠，以及各種工藝的技術工人。
16 Of golde, of siluer, and of brasse, and of yron there is no nomber: Vp therefore, and be doing, and the Lord wilbe with thee.
關於金銀銅鐵，多得無數。起來興工罷! 願上主與你同在。」 [囑咐首領協助建殿]
17 Dauid also commanded all the princes of Israel to helpe Salomon his sonne, saying,
達味又吩咐以色列的領袖協助自己的兒子撒羅滿說：「
18 Is not the Lord your God with you, and hath giuen you rest on euerie side? for hee hath giuen the inhabitants of the land into mine hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and before his people.
上主，你們的天主不是與你們同在嗎﹖他不是市你們四周都安寧了嗎﹖他已將這地的居民交於我手中，這地已在上主和他的百姓面前歸服了；
19 Nowe set your hearts and your soules to seeke the Lord your God, and arise, and builde the Sanctuarie of the Lord God to bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God into the house built for the Name of the Lord.
所以現在你們要專心致志，尋求上主你們的天主。起來! 興工建造上主天主的聖所，將上主的約櫃暗天主的聖器，運入為上主的名所建造的殿宇內。」
