¹大卫亲自预备建殿的材料

¹And David the king saith to all the assembly, `Solomon my son — the one on whom God hath fixed — [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great, for not for man is the palace, but for Jehovah God;

²我为我　神的殿已经尽了我的力量，预备了金子做金器，银子做银器，铜做铜器，铁做铁器，木做木器；还有红玛瑙、用作镶嵌的宝石、彩石和各样的宝石，以及很多大理石。

²and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [those of] silver, and the brass for [those of] brass, the iron for [those of] iron, and the wood for [those of] wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colours, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white marble, in abundance.

³不但这样，因我爱慕我　神的殿，就在我为建造圣殿预备的一切以外，又把我自己积蓄的金银献给我　神的殿：

³`And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have — a peculiar treasure of gold and silver — I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:

⁴就是俄斐金一百多公吨，精炼的银子约两百四十公吨，用来贴殿里的墙壁；

⁴three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses,

⁵金子做金器，银子做银器，以及匠人手所作的各样巧工。今日有谁愿意奉献给耶和华呢？”

⁵even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [those of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of artificers; and who [is] he that is offering willingly to consecrate his hand to-day to Jehovah?`

⁶民众上下一心，自愿奉献于是各家族的领袖、以色列各支派的领袖、千夫长、百夫长和管理王的事务的领袖，都乐意奉献。

⁶And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, even to the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly.

⁷为了　神殿里的需用，他们奉献了金子一百七十多公吨，银子三百四十多公吨，铜约六百二十公吨和铁三千四百公吨。

⁷And they give for the service of the house of God, of gold — talents five thousand, and drams a myriad; and of silver — talents ten thousand, and of brass — a myriad and eight thousand talents; and of iron — a hundred thousand talents;

⁸有宝石的，都交到耶和华殿这库房，由革顺人耶歇经办。

⁸and he with whom stones are found hath given to the treasury of the house of Jehovah, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

⁹人民因这些人自愿奉献而欢喜，因为他们一心乐意奉献给耶和华，大卫王也非常欢喜。

⁹And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced — great joy.

¹⁰大卫称颂耶和华所以大卫在全体会众面前称颂耶和华，说：“耶和华我们的祖先以色列的　神，是应当称颂的，从亘古直到永远。

¹⁰And David blesseth Jehovah before the eyes of all the assembly, and David saith, `Blessed [art] Thou, Jehovah, God of Israel our father, from age even unto age.

¹¹耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀、胜利和威严，都是你的；因为天上地下的万有都是你的；耶和华啊，国度是你的，你超越万有，你是至高的。

¹¹To Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head;

¹²富足和尊荣都从你而来，你也统治万有。在你的手里有力量和权能；人的尊大、强盛都是出于你的手。

¹²and the riches, and the honour [are] from before Thee, and Thou art ruling over all, and in Thy hand [is] power and might, and in Thy hand, to make great, and to give strength to all.

¹³我们的　神啊，现在我们要称颂你，赞美你荣耀的名。

¹³`And now, our God, we are giving thanks to Thee, and giving praise to Thy beauteous name;

¹⁴我算什么？我的人民又算什么？竟有力量这样乐意奉献？因为万物都是从你而来，我们只是把从你手里得来的，奉献给你。

¹⁴yea, because, who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? but of Thee [is] the whole, and out of Thy hand we have given to Thee;

¹⁵我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，像我们的列祖一样；我们在世上的日子好像影儿，没有指望。

¹⁵for sojourners we [are] before Thee, and settlers, like all our fathers; as a shadow [are] our days on the land, and there is none abiding.

¹⁶耶和华我们的　神啊，我们预备的这一切财物，要为你的圣名建造殿宇，都是从你而来的，也都是属于你的。

¹⁶`O Jehovah our God, all this store that we have prepared to build to Thee a house, for Thy holy name, [is] out of Thy hand, and of Thee [is] the whole.

¹⁷我的　神啊，我知道你察验人心，喜悦正直；至于我，我以正直的心甘愿奉献这一切；现在我也非常欢喜看见你在这里的人民，都甘愿奉献给你。

¹⁷`And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to Thee.

¹⁸耶和华我们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的　神啊，求你永远保守这一件事，就是使你的子民常存这心思意念，坚定他们的心归向你。

¹⁸`O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this to the age for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart unto Thee;

¹⁹求你赐给我的儿子所罗门专一的心，谨守你的诫命、法度和律例，作成这一切事，用我所预备的一切来建造殿宇。”

¹⁹and to Solomon my son give a perfect heart, to keep Thy commands, Thy testimonies, and Thy statutes, and to do the whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.`

²⁰众民称颂耶和华并且献祭大卫对全体会众说：“你们应当称颂耶和华你们的　神。”于是全体会众就称颂耶和华他们列祖的　神，俯伏敬拜耶和华和王。

²⁰And David saith to all the assembly, `Bless, I pray you, Jehovah your God;` and all the assembly bless Jehovah, God of their fathers, and bow and do obeisance to Jehovah, and to the king.

²¹第二天，他们向耶和华献祭，他们向耶和华献上燔祭；那一天他们献了公牛一千头、公绵羊一千只、羊羔一千只，以及同献的奠祭，又为以色列众人献了许多祭。

²¹And they sacrifice to Jehovah sacrifices, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the morrow of that day, bullocks a thousand, rams a thousand, lambs a thousand, and their oblations, even sacrifices in abundance, for all Israel.

²²所罗门登基作王那一天，他们十分喜乐地在耶和华面前吃喝。他们再次表示拥立大卫的儿子所罗门作王，膏他为耶和华作君王，又膏撒督作祭司。

²²And they eat and drink before Jehovah on that day with great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time, and anoint [him] before Jehovah for leader, and Zadok for priest.

²³于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上，接续他父亲大卫作王；他凡事亨通，以色列众人都听从他。

²³And Solomon sitteth on the throne of Jehovah for king instead of David his father, and prospereth, and all Israel hearken unto him,

²⁴众领袖和勇士，以及大卫王的众子，都顺服所罗门王。

²⁴and all the heads, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David have given a hand under Solomon the king;

²⁵耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人面前非常尊大，又赐给他君王的威严，胜过在他以前所有的以色列王。

²⁵and Jehovah maketh Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and putteth upon him the honour of the kingdom that hath not been on any king over Israel before him.

²⁶大卫逝世耶西的儿子大卫作全以色列的王。

²⁶And David son of Jesse hath reigned over all Israel,

²⁷大卫作王统治以色列的日子共四十年；他在希伯仑作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。

²⁷and the days that he hath reigned over Israel [are] forty years; in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three;

²⁸大卫年纪老迈，寿数满足，享尽富足和尊荣才去世；他的儿子所罗门接续他作王。

²⁸and he dieth in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honour, and reign doth Solomon his son in his stead.

²⁹大卫王一生始末的事迹，都记在撒母耳先见的书上、拿单先知的书上和迦得先见的书上。

²⁹And the matters of David the king, the first and the last, lo, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the matters of Gad the seer,

³⁰还有他治理的一切国事，他的英勇事迹，以及在他身上和以色列并各地列国发生的事迹，都记在这些书上。

³⁰with all his reign, and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.
