< 2 Chronicles 1 >

1 And Solomon son of David strengthens himself over his kingdom, and his God YHWH [is] with him, and makes him exceedingly great.
大卫的儿子所罗门国位坚固;耶和华—他的 神与他同在,使他甚为尊大。
2 And Solomon says to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to the ones judging, and to every honorable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
所罗门吩咐以色列众人,就是千夫长、百夫长、审判官、首领与族长都来。
3 and they go—Solomon, and all the assembly with him—to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for God’s Tent of Meeting has been there, that Moses, servant of YHWH, made in the wilderness,
所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去,因那里有 神的会幕,就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。
4 but David had the Ark of God brought up from Kirjath-Jearim to the [place] David had prepared for it, for he stretched out a tent for it in Jerusalem;
只是 神的约柜,大卫已经从基列·耶琳搬到他所预备的地方,因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕,
5 and the altar of bronze that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the Dwelling Place of YHWH; and Solomon and the assembly seek Him [there].
并且户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前。所罗门和会众都就近坛前。
6 And Solomon goes up there, on the altar of bronze, before YHWH, that [is] at the Tent of Meeting, and causes one thousand burnt-offerings to ascend on it.
所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里,献一千牺牲为燔祭。
7 In that night God has appeared to Solomon and says to him, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
当夜, 神向所罗门显现,对他说:“你愿我赐你什么,你可以求。”
8 And Solomon says to God, “You have done great kindness with my father David, and have caused me to reign in his stead.
所罗门对 神说:“你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱,使我接续他作王。
9 Now, O YHWH God, Your word with my father David is steadfast, for You have caused me to reign over a people [as] numerous as the dust of the earth;
耶和华 神啊,现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话;因你立我作这民的王,他们如同地上尘沙那样多。
10 now, give wisdom and knowledge to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who judges this—Your great people?”
求你赐我智慧聪明,我好在这民前出入;不然,谁能判断这众多的民呢?”
11 And God says to Solomon, “Because that this has been with your heart, and you have not asked for riches, wealth, and honor, and the life of those hating you, and also have not asked for many days, and ask for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you judge My people over which I have caused you to reign—
神对所罗门说:“我已立你作我民的王。你既有这心意,并不求资财、丰富、尊荣,也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命,又不求大寿数,只求智慧聪明好判断我的民;
12 the wisdom and the knowledge is given to you, and riches and wealth and honor I [also] give to you, that there has not been so to the kings who [are] before you, and after you it is not so.”
我必赐你智慧聪明,也必赐你资财、丰富、尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样,在你以后也必没有这样的。”
13 And Solomon comes in to Jerusalem [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, and reigns over Israel,
于是,所罗门从基遍邱坛会幕前回到耶路撒冷,治理以色列人。
14 and Solomon gathers chariots and horsemen, and he has one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he places them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门聚集战车马兵,有战车一千四百辆,马兵一万二千名,安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷,就是王那里。
15 And the king makes the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
王在耶路撒冷使金银多如石头,香柏木多如高原的桑树。
16 And the source of the horses that [are] for Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king take [them] from Keva at a price,
所罗门的马是从埃及带来的,是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。
17 and they come up, and bring out a chariot from Egypt for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram—they bring [them] out by their hand.
他们从埃及买来的车,每辆价银六百舍客勒,马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马,也是按这价值经他们手买来的。
