2 Chronicles 8

1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of Jehovah and his own house,

所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫，二十年才完毕了。

2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

以后所罗门重新修筑希兰送给他的那些城邑，使以色列人住在那里。

3 And Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah, and overcame it.

所罗门往哈马琐巴去，攻取了那地方。

4 And he built Tadmor, in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath.

所罗门建造旷野里的达莫，又建造哈马所有的积货城，

5 And he built upper Beth-Horon and lower Beth-Horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

又建造上伯·和 、下伯·和 作为保障，都有墙，有门，有闩；

6 and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for chariots, and the cities for the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

又建造巴拉和所有的积货城，并屯车辆马兵的城，与耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全国中所愿意建造的。

7 All the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,

至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，

8 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not destroyed, upon them did Solomon impose tribute-service until this day.

就是以色列人未曾灭绝的，所罗门挑取他们的后裔作服苦的奴仆，直到今日。

9 But of the children of Israel, of them did Solomon make no bondmen for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and his horsemen.

惟有以色列人，所罗门不使他们当奴仆做工，乃是作他的战士、军长的统领、车兵长、马兵长。

10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's superintendents, two hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people.

所罗门王有二百五十督工的，监管工人。

11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house which he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the [places] are holy to which the ark of Jehovah has come.

所罗门将法老的女儿带出大卫城，上到为她建造的宫里；因所罗门说：“耶和华约柜所到之处都为圣地，所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里。”

12 Then Solomon offered up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch;

所罗门在耶和华的坛上，就是在廊子前他所筑的坛上，与耶和华献燔祭；

13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and at the set feasts, three times in the year, — at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles.

又遵着摩西的吩咐在安息日、月朔，并一年三节，就是除酵节、七七节、住棚节，献每日所当献的祭。

14 And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their charges, to praise and serve before the priests, as the duty of every day required; and the doorkeepers by their divisions at every gate: for such was the commandment of David the man of God;

所罗门照着他父大卫所定的例，派定祭司的班次，使他们各供己事，又使利未人各尽其职，赞美耶和华，在祭司面前做每日所当做的；又派守门的按着班次看守各门，因为神人大卫是这样吩咐的。

15 and they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and the Levites concerning any matter, nor concerning the treasures.

王所吩咐众祭司和利未人的，无论是管府库或办别的事，他们都不违背。

16 And all the work of Solomon was prepared, to the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah and to its completion. [So] the house of Jehovah was finished.

所罗门建造耶和华的殿，从立根基直到成功的日子，工料俱备。这样，耶和华的殿全然完毕。

17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.

那时，所罗门往以东地靠海的以旬·迦别和以禄去。

18 And Huram sent him by his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

希兰差遣他的臣仆，将船只和熟悉泛海的仆人送到所罗门那里。他们同着所罗门的仆人到了俄斐，得了四百五十他连得金子，运到所罗门王那里。
