2 Chronicles 8

1 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,

1 所罗门用二十年兴建了耶和华的殿和自己的王宫。

2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.

2 他重修希兰送给他的城邑，让以色列人居住。

3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.

3 所罗门去攻打哈马琐巴，并攻取了此城。

4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.

4 他兴建旷野里的达莫以及哈马境内所有的储货城，

5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

5 把上伯·和仑与下伯·和仑建成有墙、有门、有闩的坚城，

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

6 还建造巴拉、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。

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

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

8 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites had not destroyed—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.

8 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。

9 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, the leaders of his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.

9 所罗门王没有让以色列人服劳役，而是让他们做战士、将领、战车长和骑兵长。

10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.

10 他还任命二百五十名监工负责监管工人。

11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”

11 所罗门带法老的女儿离开大卫城，来到为她建造的宫中，因为所罗门说：“我的妻子不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里，因为约柜所到之处都是圣洁的。”

12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.

12 所罗门在门廊前他所筑的耶和华的坛上向耶和华献燔祭，

13 He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

13 并照摩西的规定，在安息日、朔日和每年特定的三个节期，即除酵节、七七收获节和住棚节献上当献的祭。

14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.

14 所罗门照着他父亲大卫的定例，指派祭司分班供职，让利未人负责颂赞并辅助祭司尽每天的职责，还指派殿门守卫分班守门。这些都是上帝的仆人大卫规定的。

15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries.

15 他们没有违背大卫王就库房等工作对祭司和利未人的吩咐。

16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

16 从耶和华的殿奠基直到完工，所罗门所有的计划都已顺利完成。这样，耶和华的殿落成了。

17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.

17 之后，所罗门前往以东地区靠海的以旬·迦别和以禄。

18 So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.

18 希兰派懂得航海的仆人与所罗门的仆人一起乘船到俄斐，从那里运回三十万两黄金给所罗门王。
