1 Chronicles 29
1 Moreouer Dauid the King sayde vnto all the Congregation, God hath chosen Salomon mine onely sonne yong and tender, and the worke is great: for this house is not for man, but for the Lord 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 I haue prepared with all my power for the house of my God, golde for vessels of golde, and siluer for them of siluer, and brasse for things of brasse, yron for things of yron, and wood for things of wood, and onix stones, and stones to be set, and carbuncle stones and of diuers colours, and all precious stones, and marble stones in aboundance.
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 Moreouer, because I haue delite in the house of my God, I haue of mine owne golde and siluer, which I haue giuen to the house of my God, beside all that I haue prepared for the house of the Sanctuarie,
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 Euen three thousand talents of gold of the golde of Ophir, and seuen thousand talents of fined siluer to ouerlay the walles of the houses.
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 The golde for the things of golde, and the siluer for things of siluer, and for all the worke by the handes of artificers: and who is willing to fill his hand to day vnto 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 So the princes of the families, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captaines of thousands and of hundreths, with the rulers of the Kings worke, offred willingly,
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 they gaue for the seruice of the house of God fiue thousande talents of golde, and ten thousand pieces, and ten thousand talents of siluer, and eighteene thousand talents of brasse, and one hundreth thousand talents of yron.
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 they with whom precious stones were found, gaue them to the treasure of ye house of the Lord, by the hand of Iehiel the Gershunnite.
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 reioyced when they offred willingly: for they offred willingly vnto ye Lord, with a perfite heart. And Dauid the King also reioyced with great ioy.
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 Therefore Dauid blessed the Lord before all the Congregation, and Dauid sayde, Blessed be thou, O Lord God, of Israel our father, for euer and euer.
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 Thine, O Lord, is greatnesse and power, and glory, and victorie and praise: for all that is in heauen and in earth is thine: thine is the kingdome, O Lord, and thou excellest as head ouer all.
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 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest ouer all, and in thine hand is power and strength, and in thine hande it is to make great, and to giue strength vnto all.
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 our God, we thanke thee, and prayse thy glorious Name.
我們的天主，現在我們稱頌你，讚揚你榮耀的名。
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we shoulde be able to offer willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee: and of thine owne hand we haue giuen thee.
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 stragers before thee, and soiourners, like all our fathers: our dayes are like ye shadowe vpon the earth, and there is none abiding.
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 that we haue prepared to buylde thee an house for thine holy Name, is of thine hand and all is thine.
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 knowe also, my God, that thou tryest the heart, and hast pleasure in righteousnesse: I haue offred willingly in the vprightnesse of mine heart all these things: now also haue I seene thy people which are found here, to offer vnto thee willingly with ioy.
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 God of Abraham, Izhak and Israel our fathers, keepe this for euer in the purpose, and the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their hearts vnto thee.
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 And giue vnto Salomon my sonne a perfit heart to keepe thy commandements, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to doe all things, and to builde the house which I haue prepared.
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 And Dauid said to all the Congregation, Now blesse the Lord your God. And all the Congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed downe their heads, and worshipped the Lord and 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 offred sacrifices vnto the Lord, and on the morowe after that day, they offered burnt offrings vnto the Lord, euen a thousande yong bullocks, a thousand rammes and a thousand sheepe, with their drinke offrings, and sacrifices in abundance for all 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 did eate and drinke before the Lord the same day with great ioy, and they made Salomon the sonne of Dauid King the seconde time, and anoynted him prince before the Lord, and Zadok for the hie 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 So Salomon sate on the throne of the Lord, as King in steade of Dauid his father, and prospered: and all 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 And all the princes and men of power, and all the sonnes of King Dauid submitted them selues vnder King Salomon.
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 And the Lord magnified Salomon in dignitie, in the sight of all Israel, and gaue him so glorious a kingdome, as no King had before him in 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 Thus Dauid the sonne of Ishai reigned ouer all Israel.
葉瑟的兒子達味統治了全以色列，
27 And the space that he reigned ouer Israel, was fourtie yeere: seuen yeere reigned he in Hebron, and three and thirtie yeere reigned he in Ierusalem:
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 dyed in a good age, full of dayes, riches and honour, and Salomon his sonne reigned in his steade.
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 Concerning the actes of Dauid the King first and last, behold, they are written in the booke of Samuel the Seer, and in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the booke 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 With all his reigne and his power, and times that went ouer him, and ouer Israel and ouer all the kingdomes of the earth.
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。
