< 1 Chronicles 28 >
1 Nowe Dauid assembled all the princes of Israel: the princes of the tribes, and the captaines of the bandes that serued the King, and the captaines of thousands and the captaines of hundreths, and the rulers of all the substance and possession of the King, and of his sonnes, with the eunuches, and the mightie, and all the men of power, vnto Ierusalem.
大卫招聚以色列各支派的首领和轮班服事王的军长,与千夫长、百夫长,掌管王和王子产业牲畜的,并太监,以及大能的勇士,都到耶路撒冷来。
2 And King Dauid stoode vp vpon his feete; and saide, Heare ye me, my brethren and my people: I purposed to haue buylt an house of rest for the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and for a footestoole of our God, and haue made ready for the building,
大卫王就站起来,说:“我的弟兄,我的百姓啊,你们当听我言,我心里本想建造殿宇,安放耶和华的约柜,作为我 神的脚凳;我已经预备建造的材料。
3 But God sayde vnto me, Thou shalt not buylde an house for my Name, because thou hast bene a man of warre, and hast shed blood.
只是 神对我说:‘你不可为我的名建造殿宇;因你是战士,流了人的血。’
4 Yet as the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father, to be King ouer Israel for euer (for in Iudah woulde he chuse a prince, and of the house of Iudah is the house of my father, and among the sonnes of my father he delited in me to make me King ouer all Israel)
然而,耶和华—以色列的 神在我父的全家拣选我作以色列的王,直到永远。因他拣选犹大为首领;在犹大支派中拣选我父家,在我父的众子里喜悦我,立我作以色列众人的王。
5 So of all my sonnes (for the Lord hath giuen me many sonnes) he hath euen chosen Salomon my sonne to sit vpon the throne of the kingdome of the Lord ouer Israel.
耶和华赐我许多儿子,在我儿子中拣选所罗门坐耶和华的国位,治理以色列人。
6 And he sayd vnto me, Salomon thy sonne, he shall build mine house and my courtes: for I haue chosen him to be my sonne, and I will be his father.
耶和华对我说:‘你儿子所罗门必建造我的殿和院宇;因为我拣选他作我的子,我也必作他的父。
7 I will stablish therefore his kingdome for euer, if he endeuour himselfe to do my commandements, and my iudgements, as this day.
他若恒久遵行我的诫命典章如今日一样,我就必坚定他的国位,直到永远。’
8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the Congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keepe and seeke for all the commandements of the Lord your God, that ye may possesse this good lande, and leaue it for an inheritance for your children after you for euer.
现今在耶和华的会中,以色列众人眼前所说的,我们的 神也听见了。你们应当寻求耶和华—你们 神的一切诫命,谨守遵行,如此你们可以承受这美地,遗留给你们的子孙,永远为业。
9 And thou, Salomon my sonne, know thou the God of thy father, and serue him with a perfit heart, and with a willing minde: For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and vnderstandeth all the imaginations of thoughts: if thou seeke him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for euer.
“我儿所罗门哪,你当认识耶和华—你父的 神,诚心乐意地事奉他;因为他鉴察众人的心,知道一切心思意念。你若寻求他,他必使你寻见;你若离弃他,他必永远丢弃你。
10 Take heede now, for the Lord hath chosen thee to buylde the house of the Sanctuarie: be strong therefore, and doe it.
你当谨慎,因耶和华拣选你建造殿宇作为圣所。你当刚强去行。”
11 Then Dauid gaue to Salomon his sonne the paterne of the porch and of the houses thereof, and of the closets thereof, and of the galleries thereof, and of the chambers thereof that are within, and of the house of the mercieseate,
大卫将殿的游廊、旁屋、府库、楼房、内殿,和施恩所的样式指示他儿子所罗门,
12 And the paterne of all that he had in his minde for the courtes of the house of the Lord, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the dedicate things,
又将被灵感动所得的样式,就是耶和华 神殿的院子、周围的房屋、殿的府库,和圣物府库的一切样式都指示他;
13 And for the courses of the Priestes, and of the Leuites, and for all the woorke for the seruice of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the ministerie of the house of the Lord.
又指示他祭司和利未人的班次与耶和华殿里各样的工作,并耶和华殿里一切器皿的样式,
14 He gaue of golde by weight, for the vessels of gold, for all the vessels of all maner of seruice, and all the vessels of siluer by weight, for all maner vessels of all maner of seruice.
以及各样应用金器的分两和各样应用银器的分两,
15 The weight also of golde for the candlestickes, and gold for their lampes, with the weight for euery candlesticke, and for the lampes thereof, and for the candlestickes of siluer by the weight of the candlesticke, and the lampes thereof, according to the vse of euery candlesticke,
金灯台和金灯的分两,银灯台和银灯的分两,轻重各都合宜;
16 And the weight of the gold for the tables of shewbread, for euery table, and siluer for the tables of siluer,
陈设饼金桌子的分两,银桌子的分两,
17 And pure golde for the fleshhookes, and the bowles, and plates, and for basens, golde in weight for euery basen, and for siluer basens, by weight for euery basen,
精金的肉叉子、盘子,和爵的分两,各金碗与各银碗的分两,
18 And for the altar of incense, pure golde by weight, and golde for the paterne of the charet of the Cherubs that spread themselues, and couered the Arke of the couenant of the Lord:
精金香坛的分两,并用金子做基路伯;基路伯张开翅膀,遮掩耶和华的约柜。
19 All, said he, by writing sent to me by the hand of the Lord, which made me vnderstand all the workemanship of the paterne.
大卫说:“这一切工作的样式都是耶和华用手划出来使我明白的。”
20 And Dauid said to Salomon his sonne, Be strong, and of a valiant courage and doe it: feare not, nor be afraide: for the Lord God, euen my God is with thee: he will not leaue thee nor forsake thee till thou hast finished all the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lord.
大卫又对他儿子所罗门说:“你当刚强壮胆去行!不要惧怕,也不要惊惶。因为耶和华 神就是我的 神,与你同在;他必不撇下你,也不丢弃你,直到耶和华殿的工作都完毕了。
21 Beholde also, the companies of the Priests and the Leuites for all the seruice of the house of God, euen they shall be with thee for the whole worke, with euery free heart that is skilfull in any maner of seruice. The princes also and all the people will be wholy at thy commandement.
有祭司和利未人的各班,为要办理 神殿各样的事,又有灵巧的人在各样的工作上乐意帮助你;并有众首领和众民一心听从你的命令。”
