1 Chronicles 29
1 David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Yahweh God.
大衛王對會眾說：「我兒子所羅門是上帝特選的，還年幼嬌嫩；這工程甚大，因這殿不是為人，乃是為耶和華上帝建造的。
2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the bronze for the things of bronze, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, also onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
我為我上帝的殿已經盡力，預備金子做金器，銀子做銀器，銅做銅器，鐵做鐵器，木做木器，還有紅瑪瑙可鑲嵌的寶石，彩石和一切的寶石，並許多漢白玉。
3 In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house:
且因我心中愛慕我上帝的殿，就在預備建造聖殿的材料之外，又將我自己積蓄的金銀獻上，建造我上帝的殿，
4 even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;
就是俄斐金三千他連得、精鍊的銀子七千他連得，以貼殿牆。
5 of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself today to Yahweh?”
金子做金器，銀子做銀器，並藉匠人的手製造一切。今日有誰樂意將自己獻給耶和華呢？」
6 Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;
於是，眾族長和以色列各支派的首領、千夫長、百夫長，並監管王工的官長，都樂意獻上。
7 and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, of silver ten thousand talents, of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.
他們為上帝殿的使用獻上金子五千他連得零一萬達利克，銀子一萬他連得，銅一萬八千他連得，鐵十萬他連得。
8 People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of Yahweh’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
凡有寶石的都交給革順人耶歇，送入耶和華殿的府庫。
9 Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
因這些人誠心樂意獻給耶和華，百姓就歡喜，大衛王也大大歡喜。
10 Therefore David blessed Yahweh before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
所以，大衛在會眾面前稱頌耶和華說：「耶和華－我們的父，以色列的上帝是應當稱頌，直到永永遠遠的！
11 Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.
耶和華啊，尊大、能力、榮耀、強勝、威嚴都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；國度也是你的，並且你為至高，為萬有之首。
12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!
豐富尊榮都從你而來，你也治理萬物。在你手裏有大能大力，使人尊大強盛都出於你。
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name.
我們的上帝啊，現在我們稱謝你，讚美你榮耀之名！
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.
「我算甚麼，我的民算甚麼，竟能如此樂意奉獻？因為萬物都從你而來，我們把從你而得的獻給你。
15 For we are strangers before you and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.
我們在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，與我們列祖一樣。我們在世的日子如影兒，不能長存。
16 Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.
耶和華－我們的上帝啊，我們預備這許多材料，要為你的聖名建造殿宇，都是從你而來，都是屬你的。
17 I know also, my God, that you try the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.
我的上帝啊，我知道你察驗人心，喜悅正直；我以正直的心樂意獻上這一切物。現在我喜歡見你的民在這裏都樂意奉獻與你。
18 Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;
耶和華－我們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的上帝啊，求你使你的民常存這樣的心思意念，堅定他們的心歸向你，
19 and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.”
又求你賜我兒子所羅門誠實的心，遵守你的命令、法度、律例，成就這一切的事，用我所預備的建造殿宇。」
20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.
大衛對全會眾說：「你們應當稱頌耶和華－你們的上帝。」於是會眾稱頌耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，低頭拜耶和華與王。
21 They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,
次日，他們向耶和華獻平安祭和燔祭，就是獻公牛一千隻，公綿羊一千隻，羊羔一千隻，並同獻的奠祭；又為以色列眾人獻許多的祭。那日，他們在耶和華面前吃喝，大大歡樂。
22 and ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before Yahweh to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.
他們奉耶和華的命再膏大衛的兒子所羅門作王，又膏撒督作祭司。
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
於是所羅門坐在耶和華所賜的位上，接續他父親大衛作王，萬事亨通；以色列眾人也都聽從他。
24 All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of King David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
眾首領和勇士，並大衛王的眾子，都順服所羅門王。
25 Yahweh magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
耶和華使所羅門在以色列眾人眼前甚為尊大，極其威嚴，勝過在他以前的以色列王。
26 Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
耶西的兒子大衛作以色列眾人的王，
27 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
作王共四十年：在希伯崙作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
28 He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.
他年紀老邁，日子滿足，享受豐富、尊榮，就死了。他兒子所羅門接續他作王。
29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,
大衛王始終的事都寫在先見撒母耳的書上和先知拿單並先見迦得的書上。
30 with all his reign and his might, and the events that involved him, Israel, and all the kingdoms of the lands.
他的國事和他的勇力，以及他和以色列並列國所經過的事都寫在這書上。
