歷代志下 1-3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
所羅門詣基遍獻祭
1 大衛的兒子所羅門國位堅固,耶和華他的神與他同在,使他甚為尊大。 2 所羅門吩咐以色列眾人,就是千夫長、百夫長、審判官、首領與族長都來。 3 所羅門和會眾都往基遍的丘壇去,因那裡有神的會幕,就是耶和華僕人摩西在曠野所製造的—— 4 只是神的約櫃,大衛已經從基列耶琳搬到他所預備的地方,因他曾在耶路撒冷為約櫃支搭了帳幕—— 5 並且戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列所造的銅壇也在基遍耶和華的會幕前。所羅門和會眾都就近壇前。 6 所羅門上到耶和華面前會幕的銅壇那裡,獻一千犧牲為燔祭。
祈求智慧
7 當夜,神向所羅門顯現,對他說:「你願我賜你什麼,你可以求。」 8 所羅門對神說:「你曾向我父大衛大施慈愛,使我接續他做王。 9 耶和華神啊,現在求你成就向我父大衛所應許的話,因你立我做這民的王,他們如同地上塵沙那樣多。 10 求你賜我智慧、聰明,我好在這民前出入,不然誰能判斷這眾多的民呢?」
神更賜以豐富尊榮
11 神對所羅門說:「我已立你做我民的王,你既有這心意,並不求資財、豐富、尊榮,也不求滅絕那恨你之人的性命,又不求大壽數,只求智慧、聰明好判斷我的民, 12 我必賜你智慧、聰明,也必賜你資財、豐富、尊榮,在你以前的列王都沒有這樣,在你以後也必沒有這樣的。」 13 於是所羅門從基遍丘壇會幕前回到耶路撒冷,治理以色列人。
14 所羅門聚集戰車馬兵,有戰車一千四百輛,馬兵一萬二千名,安置在屯車的城邑和耶路撒冷,就是王那裡。 15 王在耶路撒冷使金銀多如石頭,香柏木多如高原的桑樹。 16 所羅門的馬是從埃及帶來的,是王的商人一群一群按著定價買來的。 17 他們從埃及買來的車每輛價銀六百舍客勒,馬每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人諸王和亞蘭諸王所買的車馬,也是按這價值經他們手買來的。
所羅門定意建殿
2 所羅門定意要為耶和華的名建造殿宇,又為自己的國建造宮室。 2 所羅門就挑選七萬扛抬的,八萬在山上鑿石頭的,三千六百督工的。 3 所羅門差人去見推羅王希蘭,說:「你曾運香柏木於我父大衛建宮居住,求你也這樣待我。 4 我要為耶和華我神的名建造殿宇,分別為聖獻給他,在他面前焚燒美香,常擺陳設餅,每早晚、安息日、月朔並耶和華我們神所定的節期獻燔祭。這是以色列人永遠的定例。 5 我所要建造的殿宇甚大,因為我們的神至大,超乎諸神。 6 天和天上的天尚且不足他居住的,誰能為他建造殿宇呢?我是誰,能為他建造殿宇嗎?不過在他面前燒香而已。 7 現在求你差一個巧匠來,就是善用金、銀、銅、鐵和紫色、朱紅色、藍色線,並精於雕刻之工的巧匠,與我父大衛在猶大和耶路撒冷所預備的巧匠一同做工。 8 又求你從黎巴嫩運些香柏木、松木、檀香木到我這裡來,因我知道你的僕人善於砍伐黎巴嫩的樹木,我的僕人也必與你的僕人同工。 9 這樣,可以給我預備許多的木料,因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。 10 你的僕人砍伐樹木,我必給他們打好了的小麥二萬歌珥,大麥二萬歌珥,酒二萬罷特,油二萬罷特。」
推羅王希蘭允助其成
11 推羅王希蘭寫信回答所羅門說:「耶和華因為愛他的子民,所以立你做他們的王。」 12 又說:「創造天地的耶和華以色列的神是應當稱頌的!他賜給大衛王一個有智慧的兒子,使他有謀略聰明,可以為耶和華建造殿宇,又為自己的國建造宮室。 13 現在我打發一個精巧有聰明的人去,他是我父親希蘭所用的, 14 是但支派一個婦人的兒子,他父親是推羅人。他善用金、銀、銅、鐵、石、木,和紫色、藍色、朱紅色線與細麻製造各物,並精於雕刻,又能想出各樣的巧工。請你派定這人與你的巧匠和你父我主大衛的巧匠一同做工。 15 我主所說的小麥、大麥、酒、油,願我主運來給眾僕人。 16 我們必照你所需用的,從黎巴嫩砍伐樹木,紮成筏子,浮海運到約帕,你可以從那裡運到耶路撒冷。」
所羅門選匠派工
17 所羅門仿照他父大衛,數點住在以色列地所有寄居的外邦人,共有十五萬三千六百名, 18 使七萬人扛抬材料,八萬人在山上鑿石頭,三千六百人督理工作。
開始建殿
3 所羅門就在耶路撒冷耶和華向他父大衛顯現的摩利亞山上,就是耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上,大衛所指定的地方,預備好了,開工建造耶和華的殿。
殿之度式
2 所羅門做王第四年二月初二日開工建造。 3 所羅門建築神殿的根基乃是這樣:長六十肘,寬二十肘,都按著古時的尺寸。 4 殿前的廊子長二十肘,與殿的寬窄一樣,高一百二十肘,裡面貼上精金。 5 大殿的牆都用松木板遮蔽,又貼了精金,上面雕刻棕樹和鏈子, 6 又用寶石裝飾殿牆,使殿華美;所用的金子都是巴瓦音的金子。 7 又用金子貼殿和殿的棟梁、門檻、牆壁、門扇,牆上雕刻基路伯。 8 又建造至聖所,長二十肘,與殿的寬窄一樣,寬也是二十肘,貼上精金,共用金子六百他連得。 9 金釘重五十舍客勒。樓房都貼上金子。
造基路伯
10 在至聖所按造像的法子造兩個基路伯,用金子包裹。 11 兩個基路伯的翅膀共長二十肘。這基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘,挨著殿這邊的牆,那一個翅膀也長五肘,與那基路伯翅膀相接。 12 那基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘,挨著殿那邊的牆,那一個翅膀也長五肘,與這基路伯的翅膀相接。 13 兩個基路伯張開翅膀,共長二十肘,面向外殿而立。 14 又用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線和細麻織幔子,在其上繡出基路伯來。
造柱
15 在殿前造了兩根柱子,高三十五肘,每柱頂高五肘。 16 又照聖所內鏈子的樣式做鏈子,安在柱頂上,又做一百石榴,安在鏈子上。 17 將兩根柱子立在殿前,一根在右邊,一根在左邊,右邊的起名叫雅斤,左邊的起名叫波阿斯。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
所罗门王求智慧
1 大卫的儿子所罗门巩固了自己的王位。因为他的上帝耶和华与他同在,使他极其伟大。
2 所罗门召集所有以色列人,包括千夫长、百夫长、审判官、首领和族长, 3 与他们一起去基遍的丘坛,因为那里有上帝的会幕,是耶和华的仆人摩西在旷野制造的。 4 大卫已经把上帝的约柜从基列·耶琳搬到耶路撒冷,因为他在那里为约柜搭了一个帐篷。 5 户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列造的铜坛在基遍耶和华的会幕前,所罗门和会众就在那里求问耶和华。 6 所罗门上到耶和华会幕前的铜坛那里,献上一千头祭牲作为燔祭。
7 当天晚上,上帝向所罗门显现,问他:“你要我给你什么?只管求吧。” 8 所罗门回答说:“你厚待我父大卫,并让我继位。 9 耶和华上帝啊,求你成就你给我父大卫的应许。你立我为王,使我统治这多如地上尘土的百姓。 10 现在,求你赐我智慧和知识以带领他们。不然,谁能治理这么多的百姓呢?” 11 上帝对所罗门说:“你既然有此心愿,不为自己求富贵、资财、尊荣、长寿,也没有求灭绝你的敌人,只求智慧和知识以治理我的子民——我交在你王权之下的百姓, 12 我必赐你智慧和知识,并且我还要赐你空前绝后的富贵、资财和尊荣。”
13 于是,所罗门从基遍丘坛的会幕前回到耶路撒冷治理以色列。
所罗门王的兵力和财富
14 所罗门组建了战车和骑兵,有一千四百辆战车、一万二千名骑兵,驻扎在屯车城和他所在的耶路撒冷。 15 王使耶路撒冷的金银多如石头,使香柏木多如丘陵的无花果树。 16 所罗门的马匹都是由王室商队从埃及和古厄按定价买来的。 17 他们从埃及买来的车马,每辆车六百块银子,每匹马一百五十块银子,他们也把车马卖给赫人诸王和亚兰诸王。
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。
建造圣殿
3 所罗门在耶路撒冷的摩利亚山上动工兴建耶和华的殿,殿址在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麦场,就是大卫指定的地方。耶和华曾在那里向他父亲大卫显现。 2 所罗门在执政第四年二月二日动工建殿。 3 按照古时的尺度,他建造的上帝殿宇的地基长二十七米,宽九米。 4 殿前的门廊长九米,与殿的宽度一样,高九米[b],里面都贴上纯金。 5 大殿里镶上松木板,贴上纯金,又刻上棕树和链子。 6 所罗门用宝石和巴瓦音的纯金装饰殿。 7 殿的栋梁、墙壁、门槛和门扇也都贴上金子;墙上还刻上基路伯天使。
8 所罗门又动工建造至圣所,长九米,宽九米,与殿的宽度一样,里面共贴了二十一吨纯金。 9 所用的金钉重六百克。楼房也都贴上了金子。 10 他又在至圣所制造两个基路伯天使的翅膀,包上金子。 11-13 两个基路伯天使的翅膀共九米长,每个翅膀长二点二五米。两个基路伯天使面向大殿站立,他们展开的翅膀共九米长,各有一个翅膀触到殿墙,一个翅膀互相连接。 14 他用蓝色、紫色和朱红色的线以及细麻织成幔子,并在上面绣上基路伯天使。
15 所罗门在殿前造了两根柱子,每根高八米,上面的柱冠高二点二五米。 16 他也造了链子[c],装饰在柱冠上。他又造了一百个石榴,安在链子上。 17 这两根柱子一左一右立在殿的入口处,他给右边那根取名叫雅斤,给左边那根取名叫波阿斯。
2 Chronicles 1-3
King James Version
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness.
4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
2 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6 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?
7 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.
8 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,
9 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.
3 Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
