1 Kings 9
1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of building the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, and everything that Solomon desired, which he was pleased to make,
[上主再次顯現]撒羅滿建造完了上主的殿、王宮和他所喜歡建造的一切建築物以後，
2 then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon, a second time, —as he appeared unto him, in Gibeon.
上主第二次顯現給撒羅滿，像在基貝紅顯現給他一樣。
3 And Yahweh said unto him—I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, wherewith thou hast made supplication before me, I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my Name there unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall be there, continually:
上主對他說：「我已應允了你在我面前所行的祈禱和哀求，我也祝聖了你所建築的這殿，將我的名永遠安放在那裏，我的眼和我的心，也將時常留在那裏。
4 As for thee, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, with a whole heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and my regulations, wilt keep,
至於你，如果你在我面前行走，像你父親達味那樣行走，心地純樸，公正無私，遵守我所吩咐你的一切，恪守我的法律和點章，
5 then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —as I promised unto David thy father, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
我必永遠鞏固你在以色列中的王位，照我應許你父親達味所說：你的子孫中，決不缺人坐上以色列的寶座。
6 If ye, turn back, ye or your sons, from following me, and keep not my commandments, my statutes, which I have set before you, —but depart and serve other gods, and bow yourselves down to them,
但是，如果你們或你們的子孫遠離我，不遵守我給你們頒賜的誡命和律例，而去服侍敬拜別的神，
7 then will I cut off Israel, from the face of the soil, which I have given unto them, and, the house which I have hallowed for my Name, will I suffer to be carried away from before me, —and Israel shall become a byword and a mockery, among all the peoples;
我必要將以色列從我賜給他們的地面上除掉，而我為我的名所祝聖的這殿，我也必要棄之不顧，使以色列成為萬民中的話柄和笑談，
8 and, this house which had been renowned, shall be desolate, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and shall whistle, —and men shall say—For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land, and unto this house?
這殿要成為廢墟，凡從這裏經過的人，都要驚愕嗟歎說：上主為什麼這樣對待了這地和這殿﹖
9 And men will answer—Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath Yahweh brought in upon them all this ruin.
人必回答說：是因為他們離棄了領他們祖先出離埃及的上主，他們的天主，而歸依、崇拜、服侍了別的神，為此，上主使這一切災禍臨到他們的身上。」撒羅滿與希蘭的交易
10 And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, —the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king;
撒羅滿費時二十年，纔完成了那兩大殿宇：即上主的殿宇和君王的宮殿。
11 Hiram king of Tyre having supplied Solomon with timber of cedar, and with timber of fir, and with gold, according to all his desire, that, then, King Solomon gave unto Hiram twenty cities, in the land of Galilee.
其間提洛王希蘭曾依照撒羅滿的要求，供給了他香柏木、柏木和黃金。此時撒羅滿王便將加里肋亞境內二十座城，送給了希蘭。
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to view the cities which, Solomon, had given him, —and they were not pleasing in his eyes.
希蘭從提洛前來，觀看撒羅滿送給他的城，一見就不滿意，
13 So he said—What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, Unfruitful Land, [as they are called] unto this day.
說「吾兄，你送給我的這些城，是什麼城﹖」因此直到今日，這些城仍稱為加步耳地。
14 Now Hiram had sent to the king, —a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
希蘭原送給了撒羅滿王一百二十「塔冷通」黃金。建城造船
15 Now, the following, is an account of the tax which King Solomon raised, for building the house of Yahweh and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, —and Hazor and Megiddo, and Gezer.
此段記載撒羅滿徵夫服役，建造上主的殿、王宮、米羅、耶路撒冷的城牆、哈祚爾、默基多、革則爾、【
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer, and burned it with fire, the Canaanites also who were dwelling in the city, had he slain, —and had given it as a dowry, to his daughter, wife of Solomon.
以前，埃及王法郎曾上來，攻取了革則爾，放火燒城，屠殺了城裏的客納罕人，將這城賜給了自己的女兒，撒羅滿的妻子，作為妝奩。
17 So then Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon, the nether,
為此撒羅滿重修了革則爾。】下貝特曷龍、
18 and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land;
巴拉特和境內靠近曠野的塔瑪爾、
19 also all the store cities, which Solomon had, and the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, —and the desire of Solomon that he was pleased to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land that he ruled over.
撒羅滿所有的貯貨城、屯車城和養馬城，以及撒羅滿在耶路撒冷，在黎巴嫩，在他管轄的各地內，喜歡建造的一切建築物。
20 All the people that were left, of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were, not of the sons of Israel;
至於不屬於以色列子民的阿摩黎人、赫特人、培黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人的遺族，
21 their sons, who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able to devote to destruction, Solomon levied them for a toiling labour-band [which remaineth] unto this day.
就是以色列人子民未能消滅而留在地方上的外族子孫，撒羅滿都徵來充作苦役，直到今天。
22 But, of the sons of Israel, Solomon devoted none to bond-service, —but, they, were men of war, and his servants, and his generals, and his heroes, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.
至於以色列子民，他不令他們作苦役，只叫他們服兵役，作朝臣、將帥、軍官、戰車長和騎兵長。
23 These, were the chiefs of the officers, who were over the work, for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, —who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
管理撒羅滿工程的主任官員，計有五百五十人，他們負責監督作工的人。
24 Scarcely had Pharaoh’s daughter come up out of the city of David, into her own house, which he had built for her, when he built Millo.
法郎的女兒從達味城，搬進撒羅滿為她建造的宮室之後，撒羅滿纔開始建造米羅。
25 And Solomon used to offer, three times a year, ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, upon the altar which he had built unto Yahweh, and to offer incense at the altar which was before Yahweh, —thus Solomon gave completeness unto the house.
撒羅滿每年三次在他建的祭壇上，向上主奉獻全燔祭與和平祭，在上主面前的香壇上焚香；又常修理聖殿。
26 A fleet also, did King Solomon build in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
此後，撒羅滿王又在厄東城，紅海之濱，靠近厄拉特的厄茲雍革貝爾建造船隻。
27 And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, seamen, having knowledge of the sea, —with the servants of Solomon;
希蘭派遣自己的臣僕，善於航海的船員，與撒羅滿的僕人同船航行，
28 and they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence, gold, four hundred and twenty talents, —and brought it to King Solomon.
去了敖非爾，從那裏裝載了四百二十「塔冷通」黃金，運到撒羅滿王那裏。
