列王紀上 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶和華再次向所羅門顯現
9 所羅門建完耶和華的殿、自己的王宮和所有要建的建築後， 2 耶和華像在基遍一樣再次向他顯現， 3 對他說：「我聽了你的禱告和祈求。我已使你建的殿成為聖潔之地，讓我的名永在其中，我會一直眷顧這殿。 4 如果你像你父親大衛一樣存誠實正直的心事奉我，遵行我的一切吩咐，謹守我的律例和典章， 5 我必使你的王位在以色列永遠穩固，正如我曾向你父親大衛應許要使他的王朝永不中斷。
6 「然而，如果你們及你們的子孫離棄我，不守我的誡命和律例，去供奉、祭拜別的神明， 7 我必把以色列人從我賜給他們的土地上剷除，並離棄我為自己的名而使之聖潔的這殿，使以色列人在萬民中成為笑柄，被人嘲諷。 8 這殿雖然宏偉，但將來經過的人必驚訝，譏笑說，『耶和華為什麼這樣對待這地方和這殿呢？』 9 人們會回答，『因為他們背棄曾領他們祖先離開埃及的耶和華——他們的上帝，去追隨、祭拜、供奉別的神明，所以耶和華把這一切災禍降在他們身上。』」
所羅門的事蹟
10 所羅門用二十年的時間興建了耶和華的殿和自己的王宮。 11 泰爾王希蘭供應了所羅門所需要的一切香柏木、松木和黃金，所羅門王就把加利利一帶的二十座城送給他。 12 希蘭從泰爾去視察這些城，然後滿心不悅地對所羅門說： 13 「兄弟啊，你送給我的是什麼城邑呀？」因此，他稱這個地區為迦步勒[a]，沿用至今。 14 希蘭供應了所羅門王約四噸金子。
15 所羅門徵召勞役興建耶和華的殿、自己的王宮、米羅堡和耶路撒冷的城牆以及夏瑣、米吉多和基色。 16 從前埃及王法老攻陷基色，火燒全城，殺了城內的迦南人，把基色賜予女兒，即所羅門之妻作嫁妝。 17 所羅門現在重建基色、下伯·和崙、 18 巴拉和境內沙漠地區的達莫。 19 他還建造了所有的儲貨城、屯車城、養馬城和計劃在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩及全國興建的城邑。
20 當時國中有亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人的後裔， 21 以色列人沒能滅絕這些外族人，所羅門讓他們服勞役，至今如此。 22 所羅門王沒有讓以色列人服勞役，而是讓他們做戰士、官長、統帥、將領、戰車長和騎兵長。 23 他還任命五百五十名監工負責監管工人。
24 法老的女兒從大衛城遷到為她建造的宮殿以後，所羅門動工興建米羅堡。 25 耶和華的殿落成以後，所羅門每年三次在他為耶和華築的壇上獻燔祭、平安祭並在耶和華面前燒香。
26 所羅門王在以東境內的紅海邊、靠近以祿的以旬·迦別製造船隻。 27 希蘭派有經驗的水手與所羅門的水手一起出海， 28 從俄斐為所羅門王運回了十四噸黃金。

Melachim Alef 9
Orthodox Jewish Bible
9 And it came to pass, when Sh’lomo had completed the building of the Beis Hashem, and the Bais HaMelech, and all Sh’lomo’s desire which he was pleased to do,
2 That Hashem appeared to Sh’lomo the second time, as He had appeared unto him at Giveon.
3 And Hashem said unto him, I have heard thy tefillah and thy techinnah, that thou hast made before Me; I have set apart as kodesh this Beis [HaMikdash], which thou hast built, to put Shemi there ad olam; and Mine eyes and Mine lev shall be there kol hayamim.
4 And if thou wilt walk before Me, just as Dovid Avicha walked, in tohm (integrity, guilelessness) of lev, and in yashar, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and will be shomer over My chukkot and My mishpatim;
5 Then I will establish the kisse (throne) of thy kingdom over Yisroel l’olam, as I promised to Dovid Avicha, saying, There shall not yikaret (be cut off, fail) thee an ish upon the Kisse Yisroel.
6 But if ye shall at all turn from following Me, ye or your banim, and will not be shomer over My mitzvot and My chukkot which I have set before you, but go and serve elohim acherim, and hishtachaveh (worship) them;
7 Then will I cut off Yisroel out of the adamah which I have given them; and this Beis [HaMikdash], which I have set apart as kodesh for Shemi, will I cast out of My sight; and Yisroel shall be a mashal (proverb) and a sheninah (taunt, byword) among kol ha’ammim;
8 And at this Beis, which is elyon, every one that passeth by it shall be appalled, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Hashem done thus unto HaAretz Hazot, and to this Beis?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook Hashem Eloheichem who brought forth their avot out of Eretz Mitzrayim, and have taken hold upon elohim acherim, and have worshiped them, and served them; therefore hath Hashem brought upon them all this ra’ah.
10 And it came to pass at the end of esrim shanim, when Sh’lomo had built the two batim, the Beis Hashem, and the Bais HaMelech,
11 (Now Chiram Melech Tzor had furnished Sh’lomo with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with zahav, according to all his desire), that then HaMelech Sh’lomo gave Chiram esrim ir (twenty towns) in Eretz HaGalil.
12 And Chiram came out from Tzor (Tyre) to see the towns which Sh’lomo had given him; and they pleased him not.
13 And he said, What towns are these which thou hast given me, achi (my brother)? And he called them Eretz Kavul unto this day.
14 And Chiram sent to HaMelech 120 talents of zahav.
15 And this is the account of the mas (forced labor) which HaMelech Sh’lomo conscripted; to build the Beis Hashem, and his own Bais, and Millo, and the Chomat Yerushalayim, and Chatzor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 For Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim had gone up, and captured Gezer, and burned it with eish, and slain the Kena’ani that dwelt in the ir, and given it for shilluchim (going-away presents) unto his bat eshet Sh’lomo.
17 And Sh’lomo rebuilt Gezer, and Lower Beit Choron,
18 And Baalat, and Tadmor in the midbar, in the land,
19 And all the storage cities that Sh’lomo had, and cities for his merkavot, and cities for his parashim (calvary), and that which Sh’lomo desired to build in Yerushalayim, and in Levanon, and in all the eretz of his memshalet.
20 And kol haAm that were left of HaEmori (the Amorites), HaChitti (Hittites), HaPerizzi (Perizzites), HaChivi (Hivites), and Yevusi (Jebusites), which were not of the Bnei Yisroel,
21 Their banim that were left after them in HaAretz, whom the Bnei Yisroel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Sh’lomo conscript mas of oved (bondservice) unto this day.
22 But of the Bnei Yisroel did Sh’lomo make no eved; but they were anshei hamilchamah, and his avadim, and his sarim, and his shalishim (captains), and commanders of his merkavot, and his parashim.
23 These were the chief of the officials that were over the melakhah (work) of Sh’lomo five hundred and fifty, harodim (the ones supervising) the people that wrought in the melakhah.
24 But Bat Pharaoh came up out of the Ir Dovid unto her Bais (Palace) which Sh’lomo had built for her; then did he build the Millo.
25 And three times in shanah did Sh’lomo offer olot and shelamim upon the Mizbe’ach which he built unto Hashem and he burned ketoret upon the Mizbe’ach that was before Hashem. So he completed the Beis.
26 And HaMelech Sh’lomo built a fleet of oniyyot in Etzyon-Gever, which is near Eilat, on the shore of the Yam Suf, in Eretz Edom.
27 And Chiram sent to the fleet of oniyyot his avadim, anshei oniyyot (shipmen, sailors) that had da’as hayam (knowledge of the sea), with the avadim of Sh’lomo.
28 And they came to Ophir, and brought back from there zahav, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to HaMelech Sh’lomo.
1 Kings 9
King James Version
9 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
3 And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king's house,
11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.
26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
