历代志下 1
1 大卫的儿子所罗门国位坚固；耶和华—他的 神与他同在，使他甚为尊大。
Solomon son of David was strengthened in his rule, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 所罗门吩咐以色列众人，就是千夫长、百夫长、审判官、首领与族长都来。
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.
3 所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去，因那里有 神的会幕，就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。
So Solomon and all the assembly with him went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh, had made in the wilderness.
4 只是 神的约柜，大卫已经从基列·耶琳搬到他所预备的地方，因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕，
But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place that he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 并且户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前。所罗门和会众都就近坛前。
In addition, the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh; Solomon and the assembly went to it.
6 所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里，献一千牺牲为燔祭。
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 当夜， 神向所罗门显现，对他说：“你愿我赐你什么，你可以求。”
God appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, “Ask! What should I give you?”
8 所罗门对 神说：“你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 耶和华 神啊，现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话；因你立我作这民的王，他们如同地上尘沙那样多。
Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be carried out, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 求你赐我智慧聪明，我好在这民前出入；不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢？”
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people, for who can judge your people, who are so many in number?”
11 神对所罗门说：“我已立你作我民的王。你既有这心意，并不求资财、丰富、尊荣，也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命，又不求大寿数，只求智慧聪明好判断我的民；
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and because you have not asked for riches, wealth, or honor, nor for the life of those who hate you, nor for long life for yourself, but you have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you might rule my people, over whom I have made you king, and this is what I will do.
12 我必赐你智慧聪明，也必赐你资财、丰富、尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样，在你以后也必没有这样的。”
I will now give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you riches, wealth, and honor, as none of the kings had before you, and none after you will have.”
13 于是，所罗门从基遍邱坛会幕前回到耶路撒冷，治理以色列人。
So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting; he reigned over Israel.
14 所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and he had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with himself, the king in Jerusalem.
15 王在耶路撒冷使金银多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as the stones, and he made cedar wood as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowlands.
16 所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。
As for the importation of horses from Egypt and Kue for Solomon, his merchants bought them from Kue at a price.
17 他们从埃及买来的车，每辆价银六百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。
They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for 150 shekels. They also exported them to the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
