2 Chronicles 8

1 And after twentie yeere when Salomon had built the house of the Lord, and his owne house,

所羅門建造耶和華殿和王宮，二十年才完畢了。

2 Then Salomon built the cities that Huram gaue to Salomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

以後所羅門重新修築希蘭送給他的那些城邑，使以色列人住在那裏。

3 And Salomon went to Hamath Zobah, and ouercame it.

所羅門往哈馬瑣巴去，攻取了那地方。

4 And he built Tadmor in the wildernesse, and repayred all the cities of store which hee built in Hamath.

所羅門建造曠野裏的達莫，又建造哈馬所有的積貨城，

5 And he built Beth-horon the vpper, and Beth-horon the nether, cities defensed with walles, gates and barres:

又建造上伯‧和崙、下伯‧和崙作為保障，都有牆，有門，有閂；

6 Also Baalath, and al the cities of store that Salomon had, and all the charet cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and euery pleasant place that Salomon had a minde to builde in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the lande of his dominion.

又建造巴拉和所有的積貨城，並屯車輛馬兵的城，與耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全國中所願意建造的。

7 And all the people that were left to ye Hittites, and ye Amorites, and Perizzites, and the Hiuuites, and the Iebusites, which were not of Israel,

至於國中所剩下不屬以色列人的赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，

8 But of their children which were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel had not consumed, euen them did Salomon make tributaries vntill this day.

就是以色列人未曾滅絕的，所羅門挑取他們的後裔作服苦的奴僕，直到今日。

9 But of the children of Israel did Salomon make no seruantes for his worke: for they were men of warre, and his chiefe princes, and the captaines of his charets and of his horsemen.

惟有以色列人，所羅門不使他們當奴僕做工，乃是作他的戰士、軍長的統領、車兵長、馬兵長。

10 So these were the chiefe of the officers which Salomon had, euen two hundreth and fiftie that bare rule ouer the people.

所羅門王有二百五十督工的，監管工人。

11 Then Salomon brought vp the daughter of Pharaoh out of the citie of Dauid, into the house that he had built for her: for he saide, My wife shall not dwel in the house of Dauid King of Israel: for it is holy, because that the Arke of the Lord came vnto it.

所羅門將法老的女兒帶出大衛城，上到為她建造的宮裏；因所羅門說：「耶和華約櫃所到之處都為聖地，所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大衛的宮裏。」

12 Then Salomon offered burnt offrings vnto the Lord, on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porche,

所羅門在耶和華的壇上，就是在廊子前他所築的壇上，與耶和華獻燔祭；

13 To offer according to the commandement of Moses euery day, in the Sabbaths, and in the newe moones, and in the solemne feastes, three times in the yeere, that is, in the feast of the Vnleauened bread, and in the feast of the Weekes, and in the feast of the Tabernacles.

又遵着摩西的吩咐在安息日、月朔，並一年三節，就是除酵節、七七節、住棚節，獻每日所當獻的祭。

14 And he set the courses of the Priestes to their offices, according to the order of Dauid his father, and the Leuites in their watches, for to praise and minister before the Priestes euery day, and the porters by their courses, at euery gate: for so was the commandement of Dauid the man of God.

所羅門照着他父大衛所定的例，派定祭司的班次，使他們各供己事，又使利未人各盡其職，讚美耶和華，在祭司面前做每日所當做的；又派守門的按着班次看守各門，因為神人大衛是這樣吩咐的。

15 And they declined not from the commandement of the King, concerning the Priests and the Leuites, touching al things, and touching the treasures.

王所吩咐眾祭司和利未人的，無論是管府庫或辦別的事，他們都不違背。

16 Nowe Salomon had made prouision for all the worke, from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, vntill it was finished: so the house of the Lord was perfite.

所羅門建造耶和華的殿，從立根基直到成功的日子，工料俱備。這樣，耶和華的殿全然完畢。

17 Then went Salomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth by the sea side in the lande of Edom.

那時，所羅門往以東地靠海的以旬‧迦別和以祿去。

18 And Huram sent him by the handes of his seruants, shippes, and seruants that had knowledge of the sea: and they went with the seruants of Salomon to Ophir, and brought thence foure hundreth and fiftie talents of golde, and brought them to King Salomon.

希蘭差遣他的臣僕，將船隻和熟悉泛海的僕人送到所羅門那裏。他們同着所羅門的僕人到了俄斐，得了四百五十他連得金子，運到所羅門王那裏。
