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 whanne the kyng hadde rise, and `hadde stonde, he seide, My britheren and my puple, here ye me. Y thouyte for to bilde an hows, wherynne the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and the stool of the feet of oure God schulde reste; and Y made redi alle thingis to bilde.
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 But God seide to me, Thou schalt not bilde an hows to my name, for thou art a man werriour, and hast sched blood.
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 But the Lord God of Israel chees me of al the hows of my fadir, that Y schulde be kyng on Israel with outen ende; for of Juda he chees princes, sotheli of the hows of Juda he chees the hows of my fadir, and of the sones of my fadir it pleside hym to chese me kyng on al 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 But also of my sones, for the Lord yaf to me many sones, he chees Salomon, my sone, that he schulde sitte in the troone of the rewme of the Lord on 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 he seide to me, Salomon, thi sone, schal bilde myn hows, and myn auters; for Y haue chose hym to me in to a sone, and Y schal be to hym in to a fadir;
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 Y schal make stidefast his rewme til in to with outen ende, if he schal contynue to do myn heestis and domes, as and to dai.
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 Now therfor bifor al the cumpeny of Israel, `Y seie these thingis that suen in the heryng of God, kepe ye and seke ye alle the comaundementis of `youre Lord God, that ye haue in possessioun a good lond, and that ye leeue it to youre sones aftir you til in to with outen ende.
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 But thou, Salomon, my sone, knowe the God of thi fadir, and serue thou hym with perfit herte, and wilful soule; for the Lord serchith alle hertis, and vndirstondith alle thouytis of soulis; if thou sekist hym, thou schalt fynde hym; forsothe if thou forsakist hym, he schal caste thee awei with outen ende.
「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 Now therfor, for the Lord chees thee, for to bilde the hows of seyntuarie, be thou coumfortid, and parforme.
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 Forsothe Dauid yaf to Salomon, his sone, the discryuyng, `ether ensaumple, of the porche, and of the temple, and of celeris, and of the soler, and of closetis in pryuy places, and of the hows of propiciacioun, `that is, of mersi;
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 also and of alle thingis whiche he thouyte of the large places, and of chaumbris bi cumpas, in to the tresours of the hows of the Lord, and `in to the tresours of holi thingis,
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 of the departyngis of preestis and of dekenes, in to alle the werkis of the hows of the Lord, and alle vessels of the seruyce of the temple of the Lord.
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 Of gold in weiyte bi ech vessel of the seruyce, and of siluer, for dyuersitee of vessels, and of werkis;
以及各樣應用金器的分兩和各樣應用銀器的分兩，
15 but also to goldun candilstikis, and to her lanternes, he yaf gold, for the mesure of ech candilstike and lanternes; also and in silueren candilstikis, and in her lanternes, he bitook the weiyte of siluer, for the dyuersite of mesure.
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 Also and he yaf gold in to the bord of settyng forth, for the dyuersite of mesure, also and he yaf siluer in to othere siluerne boordis;
陳設餅金桌子的分兩，銀桌子的分兩，

精金的肉叉子、盤子，和爵的分兩，各金碗與各銀碗的分兩，
18 Forsothe he yaf pureste gold to the auter, wherynne encense was brent, that a lickenesse of the cart of cherubyns, holdinge forth wyngis, and hilynge the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, schulde be maad therof.
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 Dauid seide, Alle thingis camen writun bi the hond of the Lord to me, that Y schulde vndirstonde alle the werkis of the saumpler.
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 Dauid seide to Salomon, his sone, Do thou manli, and be thou coumfortid, and make; drede thou not `with outforth, nether drede thou `with ynne; for `my Lord God schal be with thee, and he schal not leeue thee, nether schal forsake thee, til thou performe al the werk of the seruyce of the hows of the Lord.
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 Lo! the departyngis of prestis and of dekenes, in to al the werk of the seruyce of the hows of the Lord, schulen stonde niy thee; and thei ben redi, and bothe the princes and the puple kunnen do alle thi comaundementis.
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。」
