1 Chronicles 22
1 And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.”
達味歲說：「這裏就是上主天主的殿，這裏就是以色列獻全燔祭的祭壇。」[準備建殿材料]
2 And David says to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appoints hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.
達味下令招募在以色列境內的外方人，派石匠開鑿石頭，為建造天主的殿：
3 And David has prepared iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates and for couplings, and bronze in abundance—there is no weighing,
達味準備了大量的鐵，做門扇的釘子和鉤子；又準備了大量的銅，無法衡量；
4 and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.
香柏木不可勝數，因為漆冬和提洛人給達味運來了無數的香柏木。
5 And David says, “My son Solomon [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built for YHWH [is] to be made exceedingly great, for renown and for beauty to all the lands; now let me prepare for it”; and David prepares in abundance before his death.
達味曾想：「我兒撒羅滿年幼脆弱；為上主要建造的殿宇，必須極其輝煌，聲譽榮耀應傳遍萬邦，所以我必須為他預備一切。」因此，達味在未死以前，預備了許多建築材料。[囑子建殿]
6 And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,
達味將兒子撒羅滿召來，囑咐他為上主以色列的天主建築殿宇。
7 and David says to his son Solomon, “As for me, it has been with my heart to build a house for the Name of my God YHWH,
達味對撒羅滿說：「我兒，我心裏原想為上主我的天主的名，建築一座殿宇；
8 and the word of YHWH [is] against me, saying, You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars; you do not build a house for My Name, for you have shed much blood to the earth before Me.
無奈有上主的話傳於我說：你流了許多血，屢經大戰，你不可為我的名建造殿宇，因為你在我面前往地上流了許多血。
9 Behold, a son is born to you; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his surrounding enemies, for Solomon is his name, and I give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;
看，你將生一個兒子，他是一個和平的人，我要使他安寧，不受四周一切仇敵的侵擾，因為他的名字要叫撒羅滿；他在位時，我要將和平與安寧賜予以色列。
10 he builds a house for My Name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel for all time.
他將為我名建造殿宇，他將做我的兒子，我將做他的父親。我必鞏固他的王位，治理以色列，直到永遠。
11 Now my son, YHWH is with you, and you have prospered, and have built the house of your God YHWH, as He spoke concerning you.
我兒，如今，願上主與你同在，使你成功，為上主你的天主見造殿宇，有如他論及你所說的話。
12 Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;
唯願上主賜給你智慧和聰明，使你治理以色列時，遵循上主你的天主的法律。
13 then you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the judgments that YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.
如果你謹守遵行上主藉梅瑟吩咐以色列的法律和典章，你必會成功；要有膽量，咬勇氣，不必畏懼，不必驚惶。
14 And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of YHWH one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents of silver; and of bronze and of iron there is no weighing, for it has been in abundance; and I have prepared wood and stones, and you add to them.
你看，我辛辛苦苦為上主的殿宇，預備了十萬「塔冷通」的金子，一百萬」塔冷通」的銀子，銅和鐵多得不可衡量；又預備了木料和石頭，你還可以補充。
15 And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.
並且在你身邊還有許多工匠、鑿匠、石匠、木匠，以及各種工藝的技術工人。
16 Of the gold, of the silver, and of the bronze, and of the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and YHWH is with you.”
關於金銀銅鐵，多得無數。起來興工罷! 願上主與你同在。」 [囑咐首領協助建殿]
17 And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [saying],
達味又吩咐以色列的領袖協助自己的兒子撒羅滿說：「
18 “Is your God YHWH not with you? Indeed, He has given rest to you all around, for He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before His people.
上主，你們的天主不是與你們同在嗎﹖他不是市你們四周都安寧了嗎﹖他已將這地的居民交於我手中，這地已在上主和他的百姓面前歸服了；
19 Now give your heart and your soul to seek for your God YHWH, and rise and build the sanctuary of YHWH God, to bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built for the Name of YHWH.”
所以現在你們要專心致志，尋求上主你們的天主。起來! 興工建造上主天主的聖所，將上主的約櫃暗天主的聖器，運入為上主的名所建造的殿宇內。」
