1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembleth all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the courses who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, even to every mighty one of valour — unto Jerusalem.
大衛招聚以色列各支派的首領和輪班服事王的軍長，與千夫長、百夫長，掌管王和王子產業牲畜的，並太監，以及大能的勇士，都到耶路撒冷來。
2 And David the king riseth on his feet, and saith, 'Hear me, my brethren and my people, I — with my heart — to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build,
大衛王就站起來，說：「我的弟兄，我的百姓啊，你們當聽我言，我心裏本想建造殿宇，安放耶和華的約櫃，作為我上帝的腳凳；我已經預備建造的材料。
3 and God hath said to me, Thou dost not build a house to My name, for a man of wars thou [art], and blood thou hast shed.
只是上帝對我說：『你不可為我的名建造殿宇；因你是戰士，流了人的血。』
4 'And Jehovah, God of Israel, doth fix on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel to the age, for on Judah He hath fixed for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, on me, [me] He hath been pleased to make king over all Israel;
然而，耶和華－以色列的上帝在我父的全家揀選我作以色列的王，直到永遠。因他揀選猶大為首領；在猶大支派中揀選我父家，在我父的眾子裏喜悅我，立我作以色列眾人的王。
5 and out of all my sons — for many sons hath Jehovah given to me — He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel,
耶和華賜我許多兒子，在我兒子中揀選所羅門坐耶和華的國位，治理以色列人。
6 and saith to me, Solomon thy son, he doth build My house, and My courts, for I have fixed on him to Me for a son, and I — I am to him for a father,
耶和華對我說：『你兒子所羅門必建造我的殿和院宇；因為我揀選他作我的子，我也必作他的父。
7 and I have established his kingdom to the age, if he is strong to do My commands, and My judgments, as at this day.
他若恆久遵行我的誡命典章如今日一樣，我就必堅定他的國位，直到永遠。』
8 'And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of Jehovah your God, so that ye possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you unto the age.
現今在耶和華的會中，以色列眾人眼前所說的，我們的上帝也聽見了。你們應當尋求耶和華－你們上帝的一切誡命，謹守遵行，如此你們可以承受這美地，遺留給你們的子孫，永遠為業。
9 'And thou, Solomon, my son, know the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for all hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts He is understanding; if thou dost seek Him, He is found of thee, and if thou dost forsake Him, He casteth thee off for ever.
「我兒所羅門哪，你當認識耶和華－你父的上帝，誠心樂意地事奉他；因為他鑒察眾人的心，知道一切心思意念。你若尋求他，他必使你尋見；你若離棄他，他必永遠丟棄你。
10 See, now, for Jehovah hath fixed on thee to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.'
你當謹慎，因耶和華揀選你建造殿宇作為聖所。你當剛強去行。」
11 And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;
大衛將殿的遊廊、旁屋、府庫、樓房、內殿，和施恩所的樣式指示他兒子所羅門，
12 and the pattern of all that hath been by the Spirit with him, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;
又將被靈感動所得的樣式，就是耶和華上帝殿的院子、周圍的房屋、殿的府庫，和聖物府庫的一切樣式都指示他；
13 and for the courses of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all vessels of service of the house of Jehovah,
又指示他祭司和利未人的班次與耶和華殿裏各樣的工作，並耶和華殿裏一切器皿的樣式，
14 even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all instruments of service and service; for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of service and service;
以及各樣應用金器的分兩和各樣應用銀器的分兩，
15 and [by] weight for the candlesticks of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight [for] candlestick and candlestick, and its lamps; and for the candlesticks of silver, by weight for a candlestick and its lamps, according to the service of candlestick and candlestick;
金燈臺和金燈的分兩，銀燈臺和銀燈的分兩，輕重各都合宜；
16 and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement, for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver;
陳設餅金桌子的分兩，銀桌子的分兩，
17 and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold, and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin,
精金的肉叉子、盤子，和爵的分兩，各金碗與各銀碗的分兩，
18 and for the altar of perfume refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubs of gold — spreading and covering over the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
精金香壇的分兩，並用金子做基路伯；基路伯張開翅膀，遮掩耶和華的約櫃。
19 The whole [is] in writing from the hand of Jehovah, 'He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,' [said David.]
大衛說：「這一切工作的樣式都是耶和華用手劃出來使我明白的。」
20 And David saith to Solomon his son, 'Be strong, and courageous, and do; do not fear nor be affrighted, for Jehovah God, my God, [is] with thee; He doth not fail thee, nor forsake thee, unto the completion of all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah.
大衛又對他兒子所羅門說：「你當剛強壯膽去行！不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。因為耶和華上帝就是我的上帝，與你同在；他必不撇下你，也不丟棄你，直到耶和華殿的工作都完畢了。
21 'And lo, courses of the priests and of the Levites [are] for all the service of the house of God; and with thee in all work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and the heads and all the people [are] according to all thy words.'
有祭司和利未人的各班，為要辦理上帝殿各樣的事，又有靈巧的人在各樣的工作上樂意幫助你；並有眾首領和眾民一心聽從你的命令。」
