1 Chronicles 28

1 Now David summoned all the leaders of Israel to Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials and mighty men—every mighty man of valor.

1 大卫召以色列的众首领到耶路撒冷。于是，各支派的首领、王手下的各班将领、千夫长、百夫长、负责王和王子的财产及牲畜的官员、宫廷侍臣、勇士和能征善战者都来了，

2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and as a footstool for our God. I had made preparations to build it,

2 大卫王站起来说：“我的弟兄，我的人民啊，请听我说。我本想建造一座殿宇安放耶和华的约柜，作我们上帝的脚凳，我已准备好建造的材料。

3 but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has shed blood.’

3 但上帝对我说，‘你不可为我的名建造殿宇，因为你是个战士，曾流过人的血。’

4 Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased to make me king over all Israel.

4 以色列的上帝耶和华从我父家永远拣选我做以色列的王。因为祂拣选了犹大支派做首领；在犹大支派中，祂拣选了我父亲家；在我父亲的众子中，祂喜悦我，立我做以色列的王。

5 And of all my sons—for the LORD has given me many sons—He has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

5 耶和华赐给我许多儿子，祂在我众子中拣选了所罗门，让他坐耶和华国的王位，治理以色列。

6 And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.

6 耶和华对我说，‘你儿子所罗门必建造我的殿宇和庭院，因为我拣选他做我的儿子，我也必做他的父亲。

7 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’

7 倘若他像今天一样继续坚守我的诫命和典章，我必使他的国永远稳固。’

8 So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants forever.

8 现在，当着耶和华的会众——全体以色列人的面，趁着我们的上帝在垂听，你们要谨遵你们的上帝耶和华的一切诫命，以便你们可以拥有这片佳美之地，并且把它传给你们的子孙作永远的产业。

9 As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

9 “我儿所罗门啊，你要认识你父亲的上帝耶和华，诚心乐意地事奉祂，因为祂洞察人心，知道人一切的心思意念。倘若你寻求祂，祂必让你寻见；倘若你背弃祂，祂必永远丢弃你。

10 Consider now that the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”

10 现在你要谨慎，因为耶和华拣选你来建造殿宇作圣所。你要坚定不移地去做。”

11 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the mercy seat.

11 大卫将殿的走廊、房舍、库房、楼房、内室和安放施恩座的圣所的图样都交给他儿子所罗门，

12 The plans contained everything David had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of the dedicated things,

12 又将心里构想的耶和华殿的院子、四周的房屋、殿的库房和圣物库房的图样都交给他。

13 for the divisions of the priests and Levites, for all the work of service in the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD:

13 大卫还让他知道祭司和利未人的班次、耶和华殿里各样的工作及一切所需的器皿，

14 the weight of all the gold articles for every kind of service; the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of service;

14 制造圣殿中各种金器银器所需金银的分量，

15 the weight of the gold lampstands and their lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; the weight of each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;

15 就是金灯台和金灯的分量，银灯台和银灯的分量，按每座灯台和灯的分量及每座灯台的用途酌定金银的分量，

16 the weight of gold for each table of showbread, and of silver for the silver tables;

16 每张放供饼的金桌子的分量，银桌子的分量，

17 the weight of the pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls, and pitchers; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;

17 纯金的叉子、碗、瓶的分量，每个金碗和银碗的分量，

18 the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

18 纯金香坛的分量，以及在施恩车座上展开翅膀遮盖耶和华约柜的基路伯天使的样式。

19 “All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”

19 大卫说：“以上这一切都是耶和华亲手指示我的，让我明白工作的细节。”

20 David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you before all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

20 大卫又对儿子所罗门说：“你要坚定勇敢地去做！不要惊慌害怕，因为我的上帝耶和华必不撇下你，也不丢弃你，祂必与你同在，直到圣殿的一切工作完毕。

21 The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of every skill will be at your disposal for the work. The officials and all the people are fully at your command.”

21 你看，在上帝殿里司职的各班祭司和利未人已准备就绪，又有各种能工巧匠乐意在各种工作上帮你，众官长和百姓都听你调遣。”
