1 Kings 9

1 Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,

1 所罗门建完耶和华的殿、自己的王宫和所有要建的建筑后，

2 the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

2 耶和华像在基遍一样再次向他显现，

3 And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.

3 对他说：“我听了你的祷告和祈求。我已使你建的殿成为圣洁之地，让我的名永在其中，我必一直眷顾和心系这殿。

4 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,

4 如果你像你父亲大卫一样存诚实正直的心事奉我，遵行我的一切吩咐，谨守我的律例和典章，

5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’

5 我必使你的王位在以色列永远稳固，正如我曾向你父亲大卫应许，要使他的王朝永不中断。

6 But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,

6 “然而，如果你们及你们的子孙离弃我，不守我的诫命和律例，去供奉、祭拜其他神明，

7 then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.

7 我必把以色列人从我赐给他们的土地上铲除，并离弃我为自己的名而使之圣洁的这殿，使以色列人在万民中成为笑柄，被人嘲讽。

8 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

8 这殿虽然宏伟 ，但将来经过的人必惊讶，讥笑说，‘耶和华为什么这样对待这地方和这殿呢？’

9 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”

9 人们会回答，‘因为他们背弃曾领他们祖先离开埃及的他们的上帝耶和华，去追随、祭拜、供奉其他神明，所以耶和华把这一切灾祸降在他们身上。’”

10 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,

10 所罗门用二十年兴建了耶和华的殿和自己的王宫。

11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.

11 泰尔王希兰供应了所罗门所需要的一切香柏木、松木和黄金，所罗门王就把加利利一带的二十座城送给他。

12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.

12 希兰从泰尔去视察这些城，然后满心不悦地对所罗门说：

13 “What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.

13 “兄弟啊，你送给我的是什么城邑呀？”因此，他称这个地区为迦步勒 ，沿用至今。

14 And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.

14 希兰供应了所罗门王八万两金子。

15 This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

15 所罗门征召劳役兴建耶和华的殿、自己的王宫、米罗堡和耶路撒冷的城墙以及夏琐、米吉多和基色。

16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

16 从前埃及王法老攻陷基色，火烧全城，杀了城内的迦南人，把基色赐予女儿，即所罗门之妻作嫁妆。

17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,

17 所罗门现在重建基色、下伯·和仑、

18 Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,

18 巴拉和境内沙漠地区的达莫。

19 as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.

19 他还建造所有的储货城、屯车城、养马城，并在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩及全国随意兴建城邑。

20 As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—

20 当时国中仍有非以色列人，就是亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人的后裔，

21 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.

21 以色列人没能灭绝这些外族人，所罗门让他们的后代服劳役，至今如此。

22 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.

22 所罗门王没有让以色列人服劳役，而是让他们做战士、官长、统帅、将领、战车长和骑兵长。

23 They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.

23 他还任命五百五十名监工负责监管工人。

24 As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.

24 法老的女儿从大卫城迁到为她建造的宫殿以后，所罗门动工兴建米罗堡。

25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.

25 耶和华的殿落成以后，所罗门每年三次在他为耶和华筑的坛上献燔祭、平安祭，并在耶和华面前烧香。

26 King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.

26 所罗门王在以东境内的红海边、靠近以禄的以旬·迦别制造船只。

27 And Hiram sent his servants, sailors who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.

27 希兰派懂得航海的仆人与所罗门的仆人一起乘船出海。

28 They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents—and delivered it to Solomon.

28 他们前往俄斐，从那里运回二十八万两黄金给所罗门王。
