1 Kings 9
1 When Salomon had finished the building of the house of ye Lord, and the kings palace, and all that Salomon desired and minded 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 Then the Lord appeared vnto Salomon the second time, as he appeared vnto 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 the Lord sayd vnto him, I haue heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I haue halowed this house (which thou hast built) to put my Name there for euer, and mine eyes, and mine 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 if thou wilt walke before mee (as Dauid thy father walked in purenesse of heart and in righteousnesse) to doe according to al that I haue commanded thee, and keepe my statutes, and my iudgements,
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 stablish the throne of thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer, as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying, Thou shalt not want a man vpon 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 and your children turne away from mee, and wil not keepe my commandements, and my statutes (which I haue set before you) but go and serue 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 cutte off Israel from the lande, which I haue giuen them, and the house which I haue halowed for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a prouerbe, and a common talke among all people.
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 Euen this hie house shall bee so: euery one that passeth by it, shalbe astonied, and shall hisse, and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus vnto 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 answere, Because they forsooke the Lord their God, which brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and haue taken holde vpon other gods, and haue worshipped them, and serued them, therfore hath the Lord brought vpon them all this euill.
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 at the ende of twentie yeeres, when Salomon had buylded the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the Kings palace,
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 (For the which Hiram the King of Tyrus had brought to Salomon timber of cedar, and firre trees, and golde, and whatsoeuer he desired) then King Salomon gaue to Hiram twentie cities in the land of Galil.
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 Tyrus to see the cities which Salomon had giuen him, and they pleased him not.
希蘭從提洛前來，觀看撒羅滿送給他的城，一見就不滿意，
13 Therefore hee sayde, What cities are these which thou hast giuen me, my brother? And hee called them the land of Cabul vnto 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 the King sixe score 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 cause of the tribute why King Salomon raised tribute, to wit, to builde the house of the Lord, and his owne house, and Millo, and the wall of Ierusalem, 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 come vp, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slew the Canaanites, that dwelt in the citie, and gaue it for a present vnto his daughter Salomons 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 (Therefore Salomon builte Gezer and Beth-horon the nether,
為此撒羅滿重修了革則爾。】下貝特曷龍、
18 And Baalath and Tamor in the wildernes of the land,
巴拉特和境內靠近曠野的塔瑪爾、
19 And all the cities of store, that Salomon had, euen cities for charets, and cities for horsemen, and all that Salomon desired and woulde build in Ierusalem, and in 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 Al the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hiuites, and Iebusites, which 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 To wit, their children that were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel were not able to destroy, those did Salomon make tributaries vnto 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 Salomon make no bondmen: but they were men of warre and his seruants, and his princes, and his captaines, and rulers of his charets 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 princes of the officers, that were ouer Salomons worke: euen fiue hundreth and fiftie, and they ruled the people that wrought in the worke.
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 And Pharaohs daughter came vp from the citie of Dauid vnto the house which Salomon had built for her: then did he buylde 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 thrise a yere did Salomon offer burnt offringes and peace offrings vpon the altar which he built vnto the Lord: and hee burnt incense vpon the altar that was before the Lord, when hee had 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 Also King Salomon made a nauie of ships in Ezeon-geber, which is beside Eloth, and the brinke 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 with the nauie his seruats, that were mariners, and had knowledge of the sea, with the seruants of Salomon.
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 came to Ophir and sette from thence foure hundreth and twentie talents of gold, and brought it to King Salomon.
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。
