1 Chronicles 29
1 And David the king says to all the assembly, “My son Solomon—the one on whom God has fixed—[is] young and tender, and the work [is] great, for the palace is not for man, but for YHWH 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 and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [things of] silver, and the bronze for [things of] bronze, the iron for [things of] iron, and the wood for [things of] wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colors, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white marble, 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 And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have—a peculiar treasure of gold and silver—I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all 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 even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [things of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of craftsmen; and who [is] he that is offering to willingly consecrate his hand to YHWH today?”
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 And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and of the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly.
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 give for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand drams of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron;
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 he with whom stones are found has given [them] to the treasury of the house of YHWH, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
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 And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to YHWH; and David the king has also 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 blesses YHWH before the eyes of all the assembly, and David says, “Blessed [are] You, YHWH, God of Israel, our Father, from age even to age.
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 To You, O YHWH, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the splendor, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to You, O YHWH, [is] the kingdom, and He who is lifting up Himself over all for head;
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 the riches, and the honor [are] from before You, and You are ruling over all, and in Your hand [is] power and might, and [it is] in Your hand to make great and to give strength to 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, our God, we are giving thanks to You, and giving praise to Your beautiful Name;
我們的天主，現在我們稱頌你，讚揚你榮耀的名。
14 indeed, because who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? But the whole [is] from You, and we have given to You out of Your [own] hand;
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 we [are] sojourners and settlers before You, like all our fathers; our days on the land [are] as a shadow, and there is none 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 our God YHWH, all this store [with] which we have prepared to build a house for You, for Your Holy Name, [is] out of Your [own] hand, and the whole [is] of You.
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 have known, my God, that You are trying the heart, and desire uprightness; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these; and now, I have seen Your people who are found here with joy to offer willingly to You.
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 YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this for all time for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and prepare their heart for You;
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 give a perfect heart to my son Solomon, to keep Your commands, Your testimonies, and Your statutes, and to do the whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.”
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 says to all the assembly, “Now bless your God YHWH”; and all the assembly blesses YHWH, God of their fathers, and bows and pays respect to YHWH 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 sacrifice sacrifices to YHWH, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on that next day: one thousand bullocks, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, and their oblations, and 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 eat and drink before YHWH on that day with great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time, and anoint [him] before YHWH for leader, and Zadok for 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 And Solomon sits on the throne of YHWH for king instead of his father David, and prospers, and all of Israel listens to 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 heads, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David have given a hand under Solomon the king;
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 YHWH makes Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and puts on him the splendor of the kingdom that has 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 And David son of Jesse has reigned over all Israel,
葉瑟的兒子達味統治了全以色列，
27 and the days that he has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-three;
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 dies in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigns 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 matters of David the king, the first and the last, behold, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the matters 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 with all his reign, and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.
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。
