列王紀上-1 Kings 第 5 章

5:1推羅王希蘭,平素愛大衛;他聽見以色列人膏所羅門,接續他父親作王,就差遣臣僕來見他。
Now Hiram the king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always loved David.
5:2所羅門也差遣人去見希蘭,說,
And Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,
5:3你知道我父親大衛因四圍的爭戰,不能為耶和華他神的名建殿,直等到耶和華使仇敵都服在他腳下。
You know about David my father that he was not able to build a house for the name of Jehovah his God because of the warfare that his enemies surrounded him with, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
5:4現在耶和華我的神使我四圍得安息,沒有對頭,沒有災禍。
But now Jehovah my God has given me rest all around; there is no adversary or evil occurrence.
5:5看哪,我有意為耶和華我神的名建殿, 是照耶和華對我父親大衛所說的,說,你的兒子,就是我所要設立,
And now I intend to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God according to what Jehovah spoke to David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will put on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.
5:6接續你坐在你位上的,他必為我的名建殿。所以求你吩咐人從利巴嫩為我砍伐香柏木,我的僕人必與你的僕人一同作工,我必照你所說定的,把你僕人的工價給你;因為你知道,在我們中間沒有人像西頓人那樣善於砍伐樹木。
Now therefore command that they cut for me cedars from Lebanon. And my servants will be with your servants, and I will give you payment for your servants, according to whatever you say; for you know that among us there is no one who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.
5:7希蘭聽見所羅門的話,就甚歡喜,說,今日耶和華當受頌讚;祂賜給大衛一個有智慧的兒子,治理這眾多的民。
And when Hiram heard Solomon's words, he rejoiced greatly and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given David a wise son over this great people.
5:8希蘭打發人去見所羅門,說,你差遣人向我所題的事,我聽見了;關於香柏木和松木,凡你所願的我都必成全。
And Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which you have sent me. I will do all your desire concerning cedar timber and cypress timber.
5:9我的僕人必將木料從利巴嫩運下海裡;我把這些木料紮成筏子,浮海運到你所指定我的地方,在那裡拆開,你就可以收取。你也要成全我所願的,將食物給我的家。
My servants will bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will make them into rafts by sea to the place that you direct me; and I will break them apart there, and you can carry off. And you can fulfill my desire by giving food to my household.
5:10於是希蘭照著所羅門所願的一切,給他香柏木和松木。
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber, all that he desired.
5:11所羅門給希蘭麥子二萬歌珥,最上等的油二十歌珥,作他家的食物;所羅門每年都是這樣給希蘭。
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his household and twenty cors of the finest oil; this did Solomon give to Hiram year by year.
5:12耶和華照著所應許的賜智慧給所羅門;希蘭與所羅門和好,二人彼此立約。
And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
5:13所羅門王從全以色列人中徵召服苦役的,共有三萬人,
And King Solomon levied forced labor out of all Israel, and the forced labor amounted to thirty thousand men.
5:14派他們輪流,每月一萬人到利巴嫩去;一個月在利巴嫩,兩個月在家裡。亞多尼蘭掌管這些服苦役的人。
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: one month they were in Lebanon, and two months they were at home. And Adoniram was over the forced labor.
5:15所羅門有七萬扛抬重物的,八萬在山上鑿石頭的;
And Solomon had seventy thousand burden bearers and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountains,
5:16此外,所羅門有三千三百督工的官長,監管作工的百姓。
Besides Solomon's three thousand three hundred chief officers over the work, who directed the people who did the work.
5:17王下令,人就開採出又大又寶貴的石頭來,用鑿成的石頭立殿的根基。
And the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, in order to lay the foundation of the house with hewn stone.
5:18所羅門的匠人和希蘭的匠人,並迦巴勒人,將石頭鑿好,預備木料和石頭建殿。
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites fashioned the stone and prepared the timber and the stones in order to build the house.
