1 Chronicles 29

1 Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

1 大卫王又对全体会众说：“我儿所罗门是上帝特别拣选的，但他还年轻，缺乏经验。建殿的工程浩大，因为这殿不是为人造的，而是为耶和华上帝造的。

2 Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.

2 我已竭尽所能为我上帝的殿预备了制作金器、银器、铜器、铁器和木器所需的金银铜铁及木头，还有大量玛瑙、镶嵌用的宝石、彩石、大理石及其他贵重的石头。

3 Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:

3 而且，我因为爱慕我上帝的殿，除了预备以上物品外，还把自己珍藏的金银献上，用来建造我上帝的殿。

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

4 我献上两百万两俄斐金、四百八十万两纯银，用来贴殿墙，

5 for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who is willing to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”

5 供匠人制作金器银器。今天，有谁乐意向耶和华奉献？”

6 Then the leaders of the families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.

6 结果，各族长、以色列各支派的首领、千夫长、百夫长和负责王室事务的官员都乐意奉献，

7 Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

7 他们为上帝的殿奉献了三百四十万两金子，六百八十万两银子，六百二十吨铜，三千四百吨铁。

8 Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

8 有宝石的人都把宝石交到耶和华殿的库房，由革顺人耶歇保管。

9 And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.

9 因为他们诚心诚意地把东西献给耶和华，百姓欢喜不已，大卫王也非常欢喜。

10 Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

10 大卫在会众面前颂赞耶和华，说：“我们先祖以色列的上帝耶和华啊，你永永远远当受颂赞！

11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

11 耶和华啊，伟大、权能、荣耀、尊贵和威严都是你的，天上地下的一切都是你的。耶和华啊，国度是你的，你是万有的至高主宰。

12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.

12 富贵和尊荣都从你而来，你掌管一切，你手中有权柄和能力，能使人尊大、强盛。

13 Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.

13 我们的上帝啊，我们称颂你，赞美你荣耀的名。

14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You.

14 “我算什么，我的人民算什么，怎么能向你奉献？因为万物都从你而来，我们只是把从你那里得来的献给你。

15 For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

15 我们在你面前只是客旅，是寄居的，像我们祖先一样；我们在世的日子就像影子一样转瞬即逝。

16 O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You.

16 我们的上帝耶和华啊，我们为你的圣名建造殿宇所预备的这一切财物，都是从你那里来的，都属于你。

17 I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.

17 我的上帝啊，我知道你洞察人心，喜爱正直的人。我怀着正直的心甘愿献上这一切，我也看见你这里的子民甘心乐意地将财物献给你。

18 O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.

18 我们祖先亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的上帝耶和华啊！求你使你的子民常存这样的心志，使他们的心忠于你。

19 And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”

19 求你赐给我儿所罗门忠诚的心，以遵行你的诫命、法度和律例，用我预备的材料建造殿宇。”

20 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Bless the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.

20 大卫对全体会众说：“你们要颂赞你们的上帝耶和华。”于是，全体会众颂赞他们祖先的上帝耶和华，向耶和华和王俯伏下拜。

21 The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

21 次日，他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭。他们代表全以色列献上一千头公牛、一千只公绵羊、一千只羊羔，同时还献上奠祭及许多其他祭。

22 That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.

22 那一天，他们在耶和华面前欢欢喜喜地吃喝。 他们再次拥立大卫的儿子所罗门做王，在耶和华面前膏立他做首领，又膏立撒督做祭司。

23 So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

23 于是，所罗门登上了耶和华所赐的王位，接替他父亲大卫做王。他凡事亨通，以色列众人都服从他，

24 All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

24 众首领、勇士和大卫王的众子都效忠于他。

25 The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.

25 耶和华使所罗门倍受以色列人尊崇，赐他君王的威严，超过在他之前的所有以色列王。

26 David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.

26 耶西的儿子大卫是全以色列的王，

27 The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

27 他统治以色列四十年，他在希伯仑执政七年，在耶路撒冷执政三十三年。

28 He died at a ripe old age, full of years, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigned in his place.

28 大卫年纪老迈，享尽富贵尊荣后，寿终正寝。他儿子所罗门继位。

29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer,

29 大卫王的事迹自始至终都记在撒母耳先见、拿单先知和迦得先见的史记上。

30 together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.

30 书中记述了他的政绩和英勇事迹，还有他和以色列及列国所遭遇的事。
