2 Chronicles 1

1 Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.

1 大卫的儿子所罗门巩固了王位，因为他的上帝耶和华与他同在，使他极其伟大。

2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.

2 所罗门召集所有以色列人，包括千夫长、百夫长、审判官、首领和族长，

3 And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

3 与他们一起去基遍的丘坛，因为那里有上帝的会幕，是耶和华的仆人摩西在旷野制造的。

4 Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.

4 大卫已经把上帝的约柜从基列·耶琳搬到耶路撒冷，因为他在那里为约柜搭了一个帐篷。

5 But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.

5 户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列造的铜坛在基遍耶和华的会幕前，所罗门和会众就在那里求问耶和华。

6 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar at the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.

6 所罗门上到耶和华会幕前的铜坛那里，在坛上献了一千头祭牲作为燔祭。

7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”

7 当晚，上帝向所罗门显现，问他：“你想要什么，只管向我求。”

8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.

8 所罗门回答说：“你向我父大卫大施恩慈，并让我继位。

9 Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

9 耶和华上帝啊，求你成就你给我父大卫的应许。你立我为王，使我统治这多如尘埃的百姓。

10 Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”

10 现在，求你赐我智慧和知识带领他们。不然，谁能治理你这众多的子民呢？”

11 God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or honor for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—

11 上帝对所罗门说：“你既然有此心愿，不为自己求富贵、资财、尊荣、长寿，也没有求灭绝你的敌人，只求智慧和知识治理我的子民，就是我交在你王权下的百姓，

12 therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”

12 我必赐你智慧和知识，并且我还要赐你空前绝后的富贵、资财和尊荣。”

13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.

13 于是，所罗门从基遍丘坛的会幕前回到耶路撒冷，治理以色列。

14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.

14 所罗门组建了战车和骑兵，有一千四百辆战车、一万二千名骑兵，驻扎在屯车城和他所在的耶路撒冷。

15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.

15 王使耶路撒冷的金银多如石头，使香柏木多如丘陵的桑树。

16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.

16 所罗门的马匹都是由王室商队从埃及和古厄按市价买来的。

17 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.

17 他们从埃及买来车马，每辆车六百块银子，每匹马一百五十块银子，他们也把车马卖给赫人诸王和亚兰诸王。
