1 Chronicles 22
1 And David saith, 'This is the house of Jehovah God, and this 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 saith to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appointeth 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 iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates, and for couplings, hath David prepared, and brass 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 even 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 saith, 'Solomon my son [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built to Jehovah [is] to be made exceedingly great, for name and for beauty to all the lands; let me prepare, I pray Thee, for it;' and David prepareth 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 calleth for Solomon his son, and chargeth him to build a house to Jehovah, 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 saith to Solomon his son, 'As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God,
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 Jehovah [is] against me, saying, Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made: thou dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast shed 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 'Lo, a son is born to thee; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his enemies round about, for Solomon is his name, and peace and quietness I give unto 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 doth build a house to 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 unto the age.
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, Jehovah is with thee, and thou hast prospered, and hast built the house of Jehovah thy God, as He spake concerning thee.
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, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah thy God;
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 thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah 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 lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I have prepared, and to them thou dost add.
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 thee in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and artificers of stone and of wood, and every skilful 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 To the gold, to the silver, and to the brass, and to the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and Jehovah is with thee.'
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 giveth charge to all heads of Israel to give help to Solomon his son,
大衛又吩咐以色列的眾首領幫助他兒子所羅門，說：
18 'Is not Jehovah your God with you? yea, He hath given rest to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land 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 to Jehovah your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built to the name of Jehovah.'
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。」
