列王纪上 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶和華再次向所羅門顯現(A)
9 所羅門建造完了耶和華的殿、王宮和所羅門渴想建造的一切以後， 2 耶和華就第二次向所羅門顯現，像先前在基遍向他顯現一樣。 3 耶和華對他說：“你在我面前所作的禱告和懇求，我都已經聽見了。你建造的這殿，我已經把它分別為聖，要使我的名永遠留在那裡；我的眼和我的心也必常在那裡。 4 至於你，如果你像你父親大衛那樣，存誠實和正直的心在我面前行事為人，遵行我一切所吩咐你的，謹守我的律例和典章， 5 我就必堅固你統治以色列的國位，直到永遠，正如我應許你父親大衛說：‘你的子孫，總不斷有人坐以色列的王位。 6 你們或是你們的子孫，若是轉去不跟從我，不遵守我賜給你們的誡命和律例，去事奉別的神，敬拜他們， 7 我就必把以色列人從我賜給他們的這地上剪除，甚至為自己的名分別為聖的這殿，我也必從我面前把它丟棄不顧，使以色列人在萬族中成為笑談和譏笑的對象。 8 這殿必成為廢墟（按照《馬索拉文本》，“成為廢墟”應作“甚高”；現參照《敘利亞譯本》翻譯），經過的人都必驚訝，取笑說：耶和華為甚麼向這地和這殿這樣作啊？ 9 人要回答說：是因為他們離棄了那把他們的列祖從埃及地領出來的耶和華他們的 神，去親近別的神，敬拜他們，事奉他們，因此耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們。’”
所羅門以二十座城回報希蘭
10 所羅門用了二十年的時間來建造耶和華的殿和王宮這兩座建築物。 11 因為推羅王希蘭曾照著所羅門所喜愛的，以香柏木、松木和金子幫助他，於是所羅門王把加利利地的二十座城給了希蘭。 12 希蘭從推羅出來，看看所羅門給他的這些城。他不喜歡這些城， 13 他說：“我的兄弟啊，這些就是你送給我的城嗎？”於是他給這些城起名叫迦步勒，直到今日。 14 希蘭送給所羅門約有四千公斤金子。
所羅門其他建樹與功績(B)
15 這是所羅門王徵召服勞役的建築耶和華的殿和他自己的王宮，以及米羅、耶路撒冷的城牆、夏瑣、米吉多和基色的記錄。 16 先前埃及王法老上來攻取基色，放火燒城，殺了住在城裡的迦南人，把城送給自己的女兒、所羅門的妻子作嫁妝。 17 所以所羅門重建基色、下伯．和崙、 18 巴拉和在猶大地曠野裡的他瑪， 19 以及屬於所羅門所有的一切積貨城、屯車城、馬兵城，與所羅門在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩和他統治的各地他喜愛建造的。 20 所有亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人餘下的人，他們不是以色列人。 21 他們的子孫仍然留在那地，以色列人不能滅絕他們。於是所羅門徵召他們作苦工的奴僕，直到今日。 22 至於以色列人，所羅門卻沒有使他們作奴僕，而是作他的戰士、臣僕、統領、軍長、戰車長和騎兵長。
23 所羅門有督工五百五十人，負責管理作工的人和監督工程。
24 法老的女兒從大衛城搬到所羅門為她建造的宮裡以後，所羅門才重建米羅。
25 所羅門每年三次在他為耶和華建造的祭壇上獻上燔祭和平安祭；又在耶和華面前的壇上燒香，這樣，他完成了建殿的工程。
26 所羅門王又在以東地、紅海邊，靠近以祿的以旬．迦別，建造船隊。 27 希蘭派遣他船隊的僕人，就是熟悉航海的船員，與所羅門的僕人一同航海。 28 他們到達了俄斐，從那裡取得黃金約有一萬四千公斤，運到所羅門王那裡。
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。

The Lord’s Response
9 When Solomon finished building the temple of the Lord,(A) the royal palace, and all that Solomon desired to do,(B) 2 the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time just as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.(C) 3 The Lord said to him:
I have heard your prayer and petition you have made before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built, to put My name there forever;(D) My eyes and My heart will be there at all times.(E)
4 As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and in what is right, doing everything I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,(F) 5 I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.(G)
6 If you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep My commands—My statutes that I have set before you—and if you go and serve other gods and worship them,(H) 7 I will cut off Israel from the land I gave them,(I) and I will reject[a] the temple I have sanctified for My name.(J) Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.(K) 8 Though this temple is now exalted,[b] everyone who passes by will be appalled and will mock.[c] They will say: Why did the Lord do this to this land and this temple?(L) 9 Then they will say: Because they abandoned the Lord their God who brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt. They clung to other gods and worshiped and served them. Because of this, the Lord brought all this ruin on them.(M)
King Hiram’s 20 Towns
10 At the end of 20 years during which Solomon had built the two houses, the Lord’s temple and the royal palace(N)— 11 Hiram king of Tyre(O) having supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold(P) for his every wish(Q)—King Solomon gave Hiram 20 towns in the land of Galilee. 12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to look over the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them. 13 So he said, “What are these towns you’ve given me, my brother?” So he called them the Land of Cabul,[d] as they are still called today.(R) 14 Now Hiram had sent the king 9,000 pounds[e] of gold.(S)
Solomon’s Forced Labor
15 This is the account of the forced labor(T) that King Solomon had imposed to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the supporting terraces,(U) the wall of Jerusalem,(V) and Hazor,(W) Megiddo,(X) and Gezer.(Y) 16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He then burned it down, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and gave it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.(Z) 17 Then Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,(AA) 18 Baalath,(AB) Tamar[f][g] in the Wilderness of Judah, 19 all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon, the chariot cities,(AC) the cavalry cities,(AD) and whatever Solomon desired to build(AE) in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or anywhere else in the land of his dominion.
20 As for all the peoples who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not Israelites— 21 their descendants who remained in the land after them, those whom the Israelites were unable to completely destroy(AF)—Solomon imposed forced labor on them; it is this way until today.(AG) 22 But Solomon did not consign the Israelites to slavery;(AH) they were soldiers, his servants, his commanders, his captains, and commanders of his chariots and his cavalry. 23 These were the deputies(AI) who were over Solomon’s work: 550 who ruled over the people doing the work.(AJ)
Solomon’s Other Activities
24 Pharaoh’s daughter moved from the city of David(AK) to the house that Solomon had built for her;(AL) he then built the terraces.(AM)
25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, and he burned incense with them in the Lord’s presence.(AN) So he completed the temple.(AO)
26 King Solomon put together a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber,(AP) which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom. 27 With the fleet, Hiram sent his servants, experienced seamen, along with Solomon’s servants. 28 They went to Ophir(AQ) and acquired gold there—16 tons[h]—and delivered it to Solomon.(AR)

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.
