Chronicles II 8
1 And it came to pass after twenty years, in which Solomon built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫，二十年才完毕了。
2 that Solomon rebuilt the cities which Chiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell in them.
以后所罗门重新修筑希兰送给他的那些城邑，使以色列人住在那里。
3 And Solomon came to Baesoba, and fortified it.
所罗门往哈马琐巴去，攻取了那地方。
4 And he built Thoedmor in the wilderness, and all the strong cities which he built in Emath.
所罗门建造旷野里的达莫，又建造哈马所有的积货城，
5 And he built Baethoron the upper, and Baethoron the lower, strong cities, —they had walls, gates, and bars;
又建造上伯·和 、下伯·和 作为保障，都有墙，有门，有闩；
6 and Balaath, and all the strong cities which Solomon had, and all his chariot cities, and cities of horsemen, and all things that Solomon desired according to his desire of building, in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all his kingdom.
又建造巴拉和所有的积货城，并屯车辆马兵的城，与耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全国中所愿意建造的。
7 [As for] all the people that was left of the Chettites, and the Amorites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, who are not of Israel,
至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
8 but were of the children of them whom the children Israel destroyed not, that were left after them in the land, even them did Solomon make tributaries to this day.
就是以色列人未曾灭绝的，所罗门挑取他们的后裔作服苦的奴仆，直到今日。
9 But Solomon did not make any of the children of Israel servants in his kingdom; for, behold, [they were] warriors and rulers, and mighty [men], and captains of chariots and horsemen.
惟有以色列人，所罗门不使他们当奴仆做工，乃是作他的战士、军长的统领、车兵长、马兵长。
10 And these are the chiefs of the officers of king Solomon, two hundred and fifty overseeing the work among the people.
所罗门王有二百五十督工的，监管工人。
11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao from the city of David to the house which he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the city of David, the king of Israel, for [the place] is holy into which the ark of the Lord has entered.
所罗门将法老的女儿带出大卫城，上到为她建造的宫里；因所罗门说：“耶和华约柜所到之处都为圣地，所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里。”
12 Then Solomon offered up to the Lord whole burnt offerings on the altar which he had built to the Lord before the temple,
所罗门在耶和华的坛上，就是在廊子前他所筑的坛上，与耶和华献燔祭；
13 according to the daily rate, to offer up [sacrifices] according to the commandments of Moses, on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, three times in the year, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles.
又遵着摩西的吩咐在安息日、月朔，并一年三节，就是除酵节、七七节、住棚节，献每日所当献的祭。
14 And he established, according to the order of his father David, the courses of the priests, and [that] according to their public ministrations: and the Levites [were appointed] over their charges, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily order: and the porters were appointed according to their courses to the different gates: for thus [were] the commandments of David the man of God.
所罗门照着他父大卫所定的例，派定祭司的班次，使他们各供己事，又使利未人各尽其职，赞美耶和华，在祭司面前做每日所当做的；又派守门的按着班次看守各门，因为神人大卫是这样吩咐的。
15 They transgressed not the commandments of the king concerning the priests and the Levites with regard to everything else, and with regard to the treasures.
王所吩咐众祭司和利未人的，无论是管府库或办别的事，他们都不违背。
16 Now all the work had been prepared from the day when the foundation was laid, until Solomon finished the house of the Lord.
所罗门建造耶和华的殿，从立根基直到成功的日子，工料俱备。这样，耶和华的殿全然完毕。
17 Then Solomon went to Gasion Gaber, and to Aelath near the sea in the land of Idumea.
那时，所罗门往以东地靠海的以旬·迦别和以禄去。
18 And Chiram sent by the hand of his servants ships, and servants skilled in naval affairs; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Sophira, and brought thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and they came to king Solomon.
希兰差遣他的臣仆，将船只和熟悉泛海的仆人送到所罗门那里。他们同着所罗门的仆人到了俄斐，得了四百五十他连得金子，运到所罗门王那里。
