所罗门定意建殿(A)

所罗门决意要为耶和华的名建造殿宇,又为自己建造王宫。(本节在《马索拉文本》为1:18) 于是,所罗门选派了七万人作挑夫,八万人在山上凿石,三千六百人作督工。(本节在《马索拉文本》为2:1) 所罗门派人去见推罗王希兰说:“你怎样待我的父亲大卫,给他运来香柏木,为他建造宫殿居住,请你也这样待我。 现在我要为耶和华我 神的名建造殿宇,分别为圣献给他,在他面前焚烧芬芳的香,经常摆上陈设饼,每日早晚、安息日、初一,以及耶和华我们的 神所定的节日,都献上燔祭;这是以色列人永远的定例。 我要建造的殿宇必须宏伟,因为我们的 神伟大,超过众神。 但谁能为他建造殿宇呢?天和天上的天也容不下他;我是谁,怎能为他建造殿宇?我不过在他面前烧香罢了。 现在请你派一个巧匠到我这里来,他要精于使用金、银、铜、铁和紫色朱红色蓝色线工作,并且懂得雕刻,好与我的父亲大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷预备的巧匠一同工作。 又请你从黎巴嫩运送香柏木、松木和檀香木到我这里来,因为我知道你的臣仆善于砍伐黎巴嫩的树木;我的臣仆可以和你的臣仆一同工作。 给我预备大量的木材,因为我要建造的那殿宇,将会十分宏伟。 10 至于你的仆人,就是砍伐树木的人,我必给他们食物,就是小麦四百万公升、大麦四百万公升、酒四十万公升、油四十万公升。”

推罗王答应相助(B)

11 推罗王希兰回信给所罗门说:“耶和华因为爱自己的子民,所以立你作他们的王。” 12 希兰又说:“创造天地的耶和华以色列的 神,是应当称颂的!因为他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子,有聪明有见识,可以为耶和华建造殿宇,为自己建造王宫。 13 现在我派一个技艺精巧、满有聪明的人来,他是我父亲希兰的匠人。 14 他是但支派一个妇人的儿子,他的父亲是推罗人。他精于使用金、银、铜、铁、石、木,以及紫色蓝色朱红色线和细麻作工,也能作各样雕刻的工作,又能设计各样交托他们的巧工。这人可以和你的巧匠,以及我主你父亲大卫的巧匠一同工作。 15 我主所说的小麦、大麦、酒和油,请派人运来给众仆人。 16 我们必照着你所需要的,从黎巴嫩砍下树木,扎成木筏,从海上运到约帕,你可以从那里把它们运上耶路撒冷。”

选派工人(C)

17 所罗门按照他父亲大卫数点的数目,又数点了住在以色列地所有的外族人,他们共有十五万三千六百人。 18 他选派七万人作挑夫,八万人在山上凿石头,三千六百人作监工,督促人民工作。

Enteekateeka z’Okuzimba Yeekaalu

(A)Sulemaani n’awa ebiragiro okuzimbira erinnya lya Mukama eyeekaalu, ate naye okwezimbira olubiri olwa kabaka. (B)N’alonda abasajja emitwalo musanvu okuba abeetissi, n’abalala emitwalo munaana okutema amayinja mu nsozi, n’abalala enkumi ssatu mu lukaaga okubakuliranga.

(C)Awo Sulemaani n’aweereza Kulamu kabaka w’e Ttuulo obubaka nti,

“Nga bwe wakolagananga ne Dawudi kitange, n’omuweereza emivule egy’okwezimbira olubiri lwe okubeeramu, nange kolagana nange mu ngeri y’emu. (D)Laba kaakano nnaatera okuzimbira erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wange eyeekaalu, era ngiwonge olw’okwoterezaayo obubaane obw’ebyakaloosa obulungi mu maaso ge, n’okuweerayo emigaati egya buli lunaku, n’olw’okuweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa enkya n’akawungeezi buli ssabbiiti ne ku myezi nga kye gijje giboneke ne ku mbaga ezaatekebwawo eza Mukama Katonda waffe, ng’ekiragiro eky’enkalakkalira eri Isirayiri.

(E)“Eyeekaalu gye ŋŋenda okuzimba ejja kuba yaakitiibwa, kubanga Katonda waffe waakitiibwa okusinga bakatonda abalala bonna. (F)Naye ani ayinza okumuzimbira eyeekaalu, nga n’eggulu erya waggulu ddala taligyamu? Noolwekyo nze ani okumuzimbira eyeekaalu, okuggyako okumuzimbira ekifo eky’okwoterezangamu obubaane mu maaso ge?

(G)“Noolwekyo mpeereza omusajja omumanyirivu nga mugezi asobola okuweesa zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ebikomo, n’ebyuma, ate era asobola okuluka engoye eza kakobe, n’entwakaavu, n’eza bbululu, ate era nga mumanyirivu mu kukola enjola ez’engeri zonna, ngakolaganira wamu n’abasajja bange abamanyirivu mu by’omu Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi, Dawudi kitange be yateekateeka.

“Era mpeereza n’emivule, n’emiberosi, n’emitoogo okuva e Lebanooni, kubanga mmanyi nti abasajja bo bamanyirivu mu kutema emiti mu Lebanooni. Abaddu bange banaakolagananga n’ababo okunteekerateekera embaawo mu bungi, kubanga eyeekaalu gye ŋŋenda okuzimba egenda kuba nnene era nga yaakitiibwa. 10 (H)Laba, ndiwa abaweereza bo, abasajja ababazzi, lita ez’eŋŋaano ense emitwalo amakumi ana mu ena, ne lita eza sayiri, emitwalo amakumi ana mu ena, n’ebita eby’omwenge emitwalo ebiri, n’ebita eby’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni emitwalo ebiri.”

11 (I)Awo Kulamu n’addamu ebbaluwa Sulemaani gye yamuweereza ng’agamba nti,

“Kubanga Mukama ayagala abantu be, kyavudde akufuula kabaka waabwe.”

12 (J)N’ayongerako na kino nti,

Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri eyakola eggulu n’ensi, yeebazibwe, kubanga awadde kabaka Dawudi omwana omutegeevu, alina okutegeera n’okwawula ebirungi n’ebibi, agenda okuzimbira Mukama eyeekaalu, n’okwezimbira olubiri.

13 (K)“Nkuweereza Kulamu omusajja omumanyirivu, era alina okutegeera n’obumanyirivu bungi, 14 (L)ne nnyina y’omu ku bazzukulu ba Ddaani, nga ne kitaawe musajja w’e Ttuulo. Yatendekebwa mu kuweesa zaabu n’effeeza, n’ebikomo n’ebyuma n’okutema amayinja era nga mubazzi, ate n’okuluka engoye eza kakobe, n’eza bbululu, n’entwakaavu, n’eza bafuta. Era alina obumanyirivu mu kwola enjola ez’engeri zonna, era ayinza okuyiiya engeri yonna ey’okukolamu ekintu kyonna ekimuweereddwa. Y’anaakolanga n’abaweesi bo n’aba mukama wange Dawudi.

15 (M)“Kaakano mukama wange aweereze abaddu be eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ne wayini gwe yasuubiza, 16 (N)tulyoke tuteme emiti gyonna gye weetaaga okuva e Lebanooni. Tunaagiseeyeeyeteza ku nnyanja okutuuka e Yopa, naawe oligyambusa e Yerusaalemi.”

17 (O)Awo Sulemaani n’abala bannaggwanga bonna abaali mu nsi eya Isirayiri, ng’okubala Dawudi kitaawe kwe yakola bwe kwali; baali abasajja emitwalo kkumi n’ettaano mu enkumi ssatu mu lukaaga. 18 (P)N’alonda mu bo emitwalo musanvu okuba abeetissi, n’abalala emitwalo munaana okutemanga amayinja mu nsozi, n’abalala enkumi ssatu mu lukaaga okulabiriranga abantu abaakolanga.

And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.

And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,

Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.

10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.

12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.

13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,

14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:

16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.

17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.

Solomon Prepares to Build the Temple(A)

Then Solomon (B)determined to build a temple for the name of the Lord, and a royal house for himself. (C)Solomon selected seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry stone in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.

Then Solomon sent to [a]Hiram king of Tyre, saying:

(D)As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me. Behold, (E)I am building a temple for the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to Him, (F)to burn before Him [b]sweet incense, for (G)the continual showbread, for (H)the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the (I)Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the [c]set feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

And the temple which I build will be great, for (J)our God is greater than all gods. (K)But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?

Therefore send me at once a man skillful to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and blue, who has skill to engrave with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, (L)whom David my father provided. (M)Also send me cedar and cypress and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and indeed my servants will be with your servants, to prepare timber for me in abundance, for the [d]temple which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

10 (N)And indeed I will give to your servants, the woodsmen who cut timber, twenty thousand kors of ground wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

11 Then Hiram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon:

(O)Because the Lord loves His people, He has made you king over them.

12 [e]Hiram also said:

(P)Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, (Q)who made heaven and earth, for He has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a temple for the Lord and a royal house for himself!

13 And now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, [f]Huram my [g]master craftsman 14 (R)(the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre), skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and blue, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your skillful men and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

15 Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which (S)my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants. 16 (T)And we will cut wood from Lebanon, as much as you need; we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to [h]Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.

17 (U)Then Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, after the census in which (V)David his father had numbered them; and there were found to be one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred. 18 And he made (W)seventy thousand of them bearers of burdens, eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.
