1 Chronicles 14
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
[建造王宮]提洛王希蘭派使臣來見達味，給他送來香柏木，派來石匠和木工，為他建宮室。
2 David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
那時達味知道上主已確定他為以色列王，並為了自己的百姓以色列，提高了他的王位。[達味的子女]
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
達味在耶路撒冷又娶了妻室，生了許多子女。
4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
達味在耶路撒冷所生兒子的名字如下：沙慕亞、芍巴布、納堂、撒羅滿、
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
依貝哈爾、厄里叔亞、厄里培肋特、
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
諾加、乃費格、雅非亞、
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
厄里沙瑪、貝里雅達和厄里培肋特。[擊敗培肋舍特]
8 When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
培肋舍特人聽說達味受傅，為全以色列王，遂都上來向達味尋釁。達味聽說，便出來迎擊。
9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
培肋舍特人上來侵入了勒法因平原。
10 David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
那時，達味求問天主說：「我可以上去攻打培肋舍特人嗎﹖你將他們交在我手中嗎﹖」上主答應他說：「你上去，我必將他們交在你手中。」
11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
達味於是上到巴耳培辣親，在那裏擊敗了他們。達味因此說：「天主假我的手使我的敵人崩潰，如水破堤。」因此後人稱這地方為巴耳培辣親。
12 They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
培肋舍特人把自己的神像都遺棄在那裏，達味命人用火燒毀。
13 The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
培肋舍特人又侵入平原。
14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
達味又求問天主，天主對他說：「不要一直上去追擊他們，要繞到他們後方，曾桑林那邊抄他們的後路。
15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
你一聽見桑樹梢上有腳步聲，要即刻出戰，因為天主在你面前出擊培肋舍特人的軍隊。」
16 David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
達味就照天主所命的行了，擊殺培肋舍特人的軍隊，由基貝紅直到革則爾。
17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
因此，達味的聲名傳遍了各地，上主使各民族都害怕他。
