¹准备建殿的材料

¹And David saith, `This is the house of Jehovah God, and this the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.`

²大卫预备了大量的铁，做门扇上的钉子和钩子；又预备了大量的铜，多得无法可称；

²And David saith to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appointeth hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.

³又预备了无数的香柏木，因为西顿人和推罗人给大卫运来了很多香柏木。

³And iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates, and for couplings, hath David prepared, and brass in abundance — there is no weighing.

⁴大卫心里说：“我的儿子所罗门年幼识浅，要为耶和华建造的殿宇，必须宏伟辉煌，名声荣耀传遍各地，因此我必须为这殿预备材料。”于是大卫在未死以前，预备了很多材料。

⁴And cedar-trees even without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.

⁵嘱咐所罗门建殿大卫把他的儿子所罗门召了来，吩咐他要为耶和华以色列的　神建造殿宇。

⁵And David saith, `Solomon my son [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built to Jehovah [is] to be made exceedingly great, for name and for beauty to all the lands; let me prepare, I pray Thee, for it;` and David prepareth in abundance before his death.

⁶大卫对所罗门说：“我儿啊，我心里原想为耶和华我的　神建造殿宇，

⁶And he calleth for Solomon his son, and chargeth him to build a house to Jehovah, God of Israel,

⁷只是耶和华的话临到我说：‘你流了许多人的血，打了很多大仗；你不可为我的名建造殿宇，因为你在我面前流了许多人的血在地上。

⁷and David saith to Solomon his son, `As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God,

⁸看哪，你必生一个儿子；他是个和平的人，我必使他得享太平，不被四围所有的仇敌骚扰；他的名字要叫所罗门，他在位的日子，我必把太平和安宁赐给以色列人。

⁸and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying, Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made: thou dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before Me.

⁹他要为我的名建造殿宇；他要作我的儿子，我要作他的父亲；我必坚立他的国位，永远统治以色列。’

⁹`Lo, a son is born to thee; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his enemies round about, for Solomon is his name, and peace and quietness I give unto Israel in his days;

¹⁰我儿啊，现在愿耶和华与你同在，使你亨通，照着他应许你，建造耶和华你的　神的殿宇。

¹⁰he doth build a house to My name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel unto the age.

¹¹深愿耶和华赐你聪明和智慧，使你治理以色列的时候，谨守耶和华你的　神的律法。

¹¹`Now, my son, Jehovah is with thee, and thou hast prospered, and hast built the house of Jehovah thy God, as He spake concerning thee.

¹²如果你谨守遵行耶和华吩咐摩西向以色列人颁布的律例和典章，这样你就必亨通。你要坚强勇敢，不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。

¹²Only, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah thy God;

¹³看哪，我辛辛苦苦为耶和华的殿预备了金子三千四百公吨，银子三万四千公吨，铜和铁多得无法可称；我又预备了木材和石头；你还可以增添。

¹³then thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

¹⁴此外，你也有很多匠人：凿石的人、石匠、木匠和能作各样工作的巧手工人，

¹⁴`And lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I have prepared, and to them thou dost add.

¹⁵以及金匠、银匠、铜匠、铁匠，多得无法可数；你当起来作工，愿耶和华与你同在！”

¹⁵`And with thee in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and artificers of stone and of wood, and every skilful man for every work.

¹⁶嘱咐众首领协助所罗门建殿大卫又吩咐以色列的众领袖帮助他的儿子所罗门，说：

¹⁶To the gold, to the silver, and to the brass, and to the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and Jehovah is with thee.`

¹⁷“耶和华你们的　神不是与你们同在吗？不是使你们四境都安宁吗？因为他已经把这地的居民交在我手中；这地在耶和华和他的子民面前被治服了。

¹⁷And David giveth charge to all heads of Israel to give help to Solomon his son,

¹⁸现在你们要立定心意，寻求耶和华你们的　神；你们当起来，建造耶和华　神的圣所，好把耶和华的约柜和　神的神圣器皿，都搬进为耶和华的名所建造的殿宇中。”

¹⁸`Is not Jehovah your God with you? yea, He hath given rest to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land before His people.

¹⁹

¹⁹`Now, give your heart and your soul to seek to Jehovah your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built to the name of Jehovah.`
