历代志下 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
预备建圣殿
2 所罗门决定为耶和华的名建造殿宇,也为自己兴建王宫。
2 他征用七万名搬运工、八万名在山上凿石的匠人、三千六百名监工, 3 并派人去见泰尔王希兰,说:“你曾运香柏木给我父亲建造王宫,请你也照样帮助我。 4 现在,我要为我的上帝耶和华的名建一座殿,我要把殿献给祂,在祂面前烧芬芳的香,经常献上供饼,在每天早晚、安息日、朔日[a]及我们的上帝耶和华所定的节期献上燔祭。这是以色列人应当永远遵守的定例。 5 我要建造的殿宇极其宏伟,因为我们的上帝超越一切神明。 6 诸天尚且容纳不下祂,谁能为祂建造殿宇呢?我是谁,怎能为祂建造殿宇?我不过是建个向祂烧香的地方。 7 现在,请你派一位巧匠来,他要懂得雕刻,会用金银铜铁铸造物品,会编织紫色、朱红色和蓝色的布,好与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一起工作。 8 也请你从黎巴嫩运些香柏木、松木和檀香木来,因为我知道你的仆人擅长砍伐黎巴嫩的树木。我会派人与你的仆人一起工作。 9 我要建的殿宇非常宏伟,所以需要的木料非常多。 10 我会供给你的伐木工人四百四十万升小麦、四百四十万升大麦、四十四万升酒和四十四万升油。”
11 泰尔王希兰写信给所罗门说:“耶和华爱祂的子民,所以立你做他们的王。 12 创造天地的以色列的上帝耶和华当受称颂!祂赐给大卫王一个有智慧、谋略和悟性的儿子来为耶和华建殿,也为他自己建造王宫。 13 现在,我派聪明能干的巧匠户兰去你那里。 14 他的母亲是但支派的人,父亲是泰尔人。他精于雕刻和设计,善用金银铜铁和木石制造物品,又会编织紫色、蓝色、朱红色的布和细麻布。你可以让他与你的工匠和你父亲大卫的工匠一起工作。 15 现在,请我主把许诺的小麦、大麦、油和酒运给仆人。 16 我们会在黎巴嫩砍伐你需要的木材,扎成木筏,经海道运到约帕,你可以从那里将木材转运到耶路撒冷。”
17 所罗门依照他父亲大卫的方法,统计所有寄居在以色列的外族人,共有十五万三千六百人。 18 他指派其中的七万人做搬运工,八万人在山上采凿石头,三千六百人做监工。

2 Salómon bauð að reisa skyldi musteri nafni Drottins og konungshöll handa sjálfum sér.
2 Og Salómon taldi frá sjötíu þúsund burðarmenn og áttatíu þúsund steinhöggvara á fjöllunum, og setti þrjú þúsund og sex hundruð umsjónarmenn yfir þá.
3 Og Salómon gjörði Húram, konungi í Týrus, svolátandi orðsending: "Eins og þú breyttir við Davíð föður minn, er þú sendir honum sedrustré, svo að hann gæti byggt sér höll til bústaðar,
4 svo ætla ég nú að reisa musteri nafni Drottins, Guðs míns, er ég ætla að helga honum, til þess að færa ilmreykelsisfórnir frammi fyrir honum, til þess stöðugt að annast um raðsettu brauðin, til þess að færa brennifórn kvelds og morgna, á hvíldardögum, tunglkomudögum og löghátíðum Drottins, Guðs vors. Skal svo vera um aldur og ævi í Ísrael.
5 Og musterið, er ég ætla að reisa, á að verða mikið, því að vor Guð er meiri en allir guðir.
6 En hver myndi vera fær um að reisa honum hús? Því að himinninn og himnanna himnar taka hann ekki, og hver er ég, að ég reisi honum hús, nema ef vera skyldi til þess að brenna reykelsi frammi fyrir honum.
7 Send þú mér nú mann, sem er hagur á gull, silfur, eir og járn, kann að vinna úr rauðum purpura, skarlati og bláum purpura, og kann að útskurði, ásamt þeim hagleiksmönnum, er með mér eru í Júda og Jerúsalem og Davíð faðir minn hefir til fengið.
8 Send þú mér og sedrusvið, kýpresvið og sandelvið frá Líbanon, því að ég veit, að menn þínir kunna að því að höggva tré á Líbanon, og skulu mínir menn vera með þínum mönnum.
9 Og ég þarf á afar miklum viði að halda, því að musterið, er ég ætla að reisa, á að verða mikið og undursamlegt.
10 En viðarhöggsmönnunum frá þér, þeim er trén höggva, gef ég til matar tuttugu þúsund kór af hveiti og tuttugu þúsund kór af byggi, tuttugu þúsund bat af víni og tuttugu þúsund bat af olíu."
11 Húram, konungur í Týrus, svaraði bréflega og sendi til Salómons: "Af því að Drottinn elskar lýð sinn, hefir hann gjört þig að konungi yfir þeim."
12 Og Húram mælti: "Lofaður sé Drottinn, Guð Ísraels, er gjört hefir himin og jörð, að hann hefir gefið Davíð konungi vitran son, sem hefir til að bera skyn og hyggindi til þess að reisa Drottni musteri og sjálfum sér konungshöll.
13 Og nú sendi ég mann, vitran og velkunnandi, Húram Abí,
14 son konu af Dans ætt, en faðir hans er týrverskur maður. Hann kann að smíða úr gulli, silfri, eiri og járni, steini og tré og að vinna úr rauðum og bláum purpura, baðmull og skarlati, kann að hvers konar útskurði, og getur gjört hverja þá smíð, er honum verður falin, ásamt hagleiksmönnum þínum og hagleiksmönnum Davíðs föður þíns, herra míns.
15 Sendi þá herra minn þjónum sínum hveitið, byggið, olíuna og vínið, sem hann hefir um mælt.
16 En vér skulum höggva tré á Líbanon, eins mikið og þú þarft, og færa þér þau í flotum sjóveg til Jafó, og mátt þú þá flytja þau upp til Jerúsalem."
17 Og Salómon taldi útlenda menn, er voru í Ísraelslandi, eftir tali því á þeim, er Davíð faðir hans hafði gjöra látið, og reyndust þeir að vera hundrað fimmtíu og þrjú þúsund og sex hundruð.
18 Af þeim gjörði hann sjötíu þúsund að burðarmönnum, áttatíu þúsund að steinhöggvurum í fjöllunum og þrjú þúsund og sex hundruð að umsjónarmönnum til þess að halda fólkinu til vinnu.
2 Chronicles 2
Common English Bible
Solomon prepares to build the temple
2 [a] Solomon gave orders to build a temple for the Lord’s name and to build a royal palace for himself. 2 [b] To work in the highlands, Solomon drafted 70,000 laborers, 80,000 stonecutters, and 3,600 supervisors. 3 Solomon sent the following message to King Huram[c] of Tyre:
When my father David was building his palace, you sent him cedar logs. 4 Now as his son[d] I am about to build a temple in the name of the Lord my God. I will dedicate it to him to burn fragrant incense before him, to set out the bread that is regularly displayed, and to offer entirely burned offerings every morning and evening, on the sabbaths, the first of every month, and the festivals of the Lord our God, as Israel has been commanded to do forever. 5 The temple I am about to build must be magnificent, because our God is greater than all other gods. 6 But who is able to build such a temple when even the highest heaven can’t contain God? And who am I that I should build this temple for God, except as a place to burn incense in his presence? 7 So now send me a craftsman skilled in gold, silver, bronze, and iron, as well as in purple, crimson, and violet yarn—someone also experienced as an engraver. He will work with my craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem who were provided by my father David. 8 Also send me cedar, cypress, and sandalwood logs from Lebanon. I know your servants know how to cut Lebanese timber, so my servants will work with your servants 9 to prepare plenty of timber for me, because the temple that I am about to build will be magnificent and amazing. 10 I will pay the woodcutters twenty thousand kors[e] of crushed wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine, and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.
11 Tyre’s King Huram replied in a letter that he sent to Solomon:
The Lord must love his people Israel because he has made you their king! 12 Bless the Lord, Israel’s God, who made heaven and earth. He gave King David a wise son who possesses the knowledge and understanding to build a temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself. 13 I’m sending you a skilled and experienced craftsman, Huram-abi, 14 whose mother is from the tribe of Dan and whose father is from Tyre. He’s skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, as well as purple, violet, and crimson yarn, and fine linen. He can do any kind of engraving and make any design given to him with the assistance of your craftsmen and the craftsmen of my master, your father David. 15 So once my master sends the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he has promised, 16 we will cut as much timber as you need from Lebanon and bring it by raft on the sea to you at Joppa, where you can take it up to Jerusalem.
17 Then Solomon counted all the immigrants in the land of Israel, as his father David had done, and the total was 153,600. 18 He made 70,000 of these immigrants laborers, 80,000 of them stonecutters in the highlands, and 3,600 of them supervisors to keep the people working.

Preparations for Building the Temple(A)
2 [a]Solomon gave orders to build a temple(B) for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself.(C) 2 He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.(D)
3 Solomon sent this message to Hiram[b](E) king of Tyre:
“Send me cedar logs(F) as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in. 4 Now I am about to build a temple(G) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(H) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(I) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(J) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(K) at the New Moons(L) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
5 “The temple I am going to build will be great,(M) because our God is greater than all other gods.(N) 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(O) Who then am I(P) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
7 “Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers,(Q) whom my father David provided.
8 “Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[c] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours 9 to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[d] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[e] of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.(R)”
11 Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon:
“Because the Lord loves(S) his people, he has made you their king.”
12 And Hiram added:
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth!(T) He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.
13 “I am sending you Huram-Abi,(U) a man of great skill, 14 whose mother was from Dan(V) and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained(W) to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue(X) and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.
15 “Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil(Y) and wine he promised, 16 and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them as rafts by sea down to Joppa.(Z) You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 Solomon took a census of all the foreigners(AA) residing in Israel, after the census(AB) his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600. 18 He assigned(AC) 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.
