列王紀上 9
1 所羅門建造耶和華殿和王宮，並一切所願意建造的都完畢了，
When Solomon had finished the building of Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
2 耶和華就二次向所羅門顯現，如先前在基遍向他顯現一樣，
Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 對他說：「你向我所禱告祈求的，我都應允了。我已將你所建的這殿分別為聖，使我的名永遠在其中；我的眼、我的心也必常在那裏。
Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
4 你若效法你父大衛，存誠實正直的心行在我面前，遵行我一切所吩咐你的，謹守我的律例典章，
As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
5 我就必堅固你的國位在以色列中，直到永遠，正如我應許你父大衛說：『你的子孫必不斷人坐以色列的國位。』
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
6 倘若你們和你們的子孫轉去不跟從我，不守我指示你們的誡命律例，去事奉敬拜別神，
But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,
7 我就必將以色列人從我賜給他們的地上剪除，並且我為己名所分別為聖的殿也必捨棄不顧，使以色列人在萬民中作笑談，被譏誚。
then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
8 這殿雖然甚高，將來經過的人必驚訝、嗤笑，說：『耶和華為何向這地和這殿如此行呢？』
Though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss; and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?’
9 人必回答說：『是因此地的人離棄領他們列祖出埃及地之耶和華－他們的上帝，去親近別神，事奉敬拜他，所以耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們。』」
and they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.’”
10 所羅門建造耶和華殿和王宮，這兩所二十年才完畢了。
At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, Yahweh’s house and the king’s house
11 泰爾王希蘭曾照所羅門所要的，資助他香柏木、松木，和金子；所羅門王就把加利利地的二十座城給了希蘭。
(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 希蘭從泰爾出來，察看所羅門給他的城邑，就不喜悅，
Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn’t please him.
13 說：「我兄啊，你給我的是甚麼城邑呢？」他就給這城邑之地起名叫迦步勒，直到今日。
He said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” He called them the land of Cabul to this day.
14 希蘭給所羅門一百二十他連得金子。
Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.
15 所羅門王挑取服苦的人，是為建造耶和華的殿、自己的宮、米羅、耶路撒冷的城牆、夏瑣、米吉多，並基色。
This is the reason of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted: to build Yahweh’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 先前埃及王法老上來攻取基色，用火焚燒，殺了城內居住的迦南人，將城賜給他女兒所羅門的妻作妝奩。
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burned it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 所羅門建造基色、下伯‧和崙、
Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower,
18 巴拉，並國中曠野裏的達莫，
Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness,
19 又建造所有的積貨城，並屯車和馬兵的城，與耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全國中所願建造的。
all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 至於國中所剩下不屬以色列人的亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel—
21 就是以色列人不能滅盡的，所羅門挑取他們的後裔作服苦的奴僕，直到今日。
their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy—of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.
22 惟有以色列人，所羅門不使他們作奴僕，乃是作他的戰士、臣僕、統領、軍長、車兵長、馬兵長。
But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
23 所羅門有五百五十督工的，監管工人。
These were the five hundred fifty chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
24 法老的女兒從大衛城搬到 所羅門為她建造的宮裏。那時，所羅門才建造米羅。
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of David’s city to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built Millo.
25 所羅門每年三次在他為耶和華所築的壇上獻燔祭和平安祭，又在耶和華面前的壇上燒香。這樣，他建造殿的工程完畢了。
Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh three times per year, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house.
26 所羅門王在以東地紅海邊，靠近以祿的以旬‧迦別製造船隻。
King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 希蘭差遣他的僕人，就是熟悉泛海的船家，與所羅門的僕人一同坐船航海。
Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 他們到了俄斐，從那裏得了四百二十他連得金子，運到所羅門王那裏。
They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to King Solomon.
