1 Chronicles 22
1 And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.”
大衛說：「這就是耶和華上帝的殿，為以色列人獻燔祭的壇。」
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.
大衛吩咐聚集住以色列地的外邦人，從其中派石匠鑿石頭，要建造上帝的殿。
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,
大衛預備許多鐵做門上的釘子和鉤子，又預備許多銅，多得無法可稱；
4 and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.
又預備無數的香柏木，因為西頓人和泰爾人給大衛運了許多香柏木來。
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.
大衛說：「我兒子所羅門還年幼嬌嫩，要為耶和華建造的殿宇必須高大輝煌，使名譽榮耀傳遍萬國；所以我要為殿預備材料。」於是，大衛在未死之先預備的材料甚多。
6 And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,
大衛召了他兒子所羅門來，囑咐他給耶和華－以色列的上帝建造殿宇，
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,
對所羅門說：「我兒啊，我心裏本想為耶和華－我上帝的名建造殿宇，
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.
只是耶和華的話臨到我說：『你流了多人的血，打了多次大仗，你不可為我的名建造殿宇，因為你在我眼前使多人的血流在地上。
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;
你要生一個兒子，他必作太平的人；我必使他安靜，不被四圍的仇敵擾亂。他的名要叫所羅門。他在位的日子，我必使以色列人平安康泰。
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.
他必為我的名建造殿宇。他要作我的子；我要作他的父。他作以色列王；我必堅定他的國位，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.
我兒啊，現今願耶和華與你同在，使你亨通，照他指着你說的話，建造耶和華－你上帝的殿。
12 Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;
但願耶和華賜你聰明智慧，好治理以色列國，遵行耶和華－你上帝的律法。
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.
你若謹守遵行耶和華藉摩西吩咐以色列的律例典章，就得亨通。你當剛強壯膽，不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。
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.
我在困難之中為耶和華的殿預備了金子十萬他連得，銀子一百萬他連得，銅和鐵多得無法可稱；我也預備了木頭、石頭，你還可以增添。
15 And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.
你有許多匠人，就是石匠、木匠，和一切能做各樣工的巧匠，
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.”
並有無數的金銀銅鐵。你當起來辦事，願耶和華與你同在。」
17 And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [saying],
大衛又吩咐以色列的眾首領幫助他兒子所羅門，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.
「耶和華－你們的上帝不是與你們同在嗎？不是叫你們四圍都平安嗎？因他已將這地的居民交在我手中，這地就在耶和華與他百姓面前制伏了。
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.”
現在你們應當立定心意，尋求耶和華－你們的神；也當起來建造耶和華上帝的聖所，好將耶和華的約櫃和供奉上帝的聖器皿都搬進為耶和華名建造的殿裏。」
