1 Chronicles 29
1 And king David said unto all the assembly, Solomon, the only son of mine whom God hath made choice of, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; because not for man is the palace to be, 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 But with all my might have I made ready for the house of my God, the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the copper for the things of copper, the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood, onyx stones, and stones to be set, bright stones, and stones of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
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 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, have I acquired as my own property gold and silver; [and this] have I given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house:
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 Three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls 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 All that is needed of gold and of silver, and for every manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [now] is willing to consecrate his hand this day unto 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 Thereupon offered voluntarily the chiefs of the family divisions and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, with the supervisors of the king's work;
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 gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drachms, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of copper eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.
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 those with whom stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jechiel the Gershunite.
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 Then did the people rejoice, because they had voluntarily offered: for with an undivided heart did they offer to the Lord: and also king David rejoiced with great joy.
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 And David blessed the Lord before the eyes of all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, O Lord the God of Israel our father, from everlasting even unto everlasting.
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, are the greatness, and the might, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, yea, all that is in the heavens and on the earth: thine, O Lord, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as the head above 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 And riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy hand are power and might; and it is in thy hand to make great, and to give strength unto 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 And now, O our God, we give thanks unto thee, and praise thy glorious name.
我們的天主，現在我們稱頌你，讚揚你榮耀的名。
14 For who am I, and what is my people, that we should possess the power to offer voluntarily after this sort? for from thee is every thing, and out of thy own have we given unto 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 strangers are we before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: like a shadow are our days on the earth, and there is no hope [of 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 abundant store which we have prepared to build for thee a house for thy holy name, is out of thy own hand, and thine is all.
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 And I know, my God, that thou probest the heart, and uprightness thou receivest in favor. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart have I voluntarily offered all these things; and now thy people, that are present here, do I see with joy offering voluntarily unto thee.
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, Isaac, and of Israel, our father, preserve this for ever as the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their heart firmly unto 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 unto Solomon my son do thou give an undivided heart to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, for which I have made preparation.
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 David said to all the assembly. Bless now the Lord your God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and bent down their heads, and prostrated themselves to the Lord, and to 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 sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord, and they offered burnt-offerings unto the Lord, on the morrow after that day, one thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand sheep, with their drink-offerings, and [other] 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 ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great joy. And they declared the second time Solomon the son of David to be king, and they anointed him unto the Lord as chief ruler, and Zadok as 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 Then sat Solomon on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he was prosperous; 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 the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David, submitted themselves unto king Solomon.
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 made Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel; and he bestowed upon him a royal majesty such as had not been on any king over Israel before him.
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 did David the son of Jesse reign over all Israel.
葉瑟的兒子達味統治了全以色列，
27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three [years].
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 died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son became king in his stead.
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 And the acts of king David, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history 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 Together with all his reign and his mighty deeds, and the times that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
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。
