列王紀上 5

泰爾王希蘭，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。

tài ěr wáng xī lán ， píng sù ài dà wèi ； tā tīng jiàn yǐ sè liè rén gāo suǒ luó mén ， jiē xù tā fù qīn zuò wáng ， jiù chāi qiǎn chén pú lái jiàn tā 。

Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.

所羅門也差遣人去見希蘭，說：

suǒ luó mén yě chāi qiǎn rén qù jiàn xī lán ， shuō ：

Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

「你知道我父親大衛因四圍的爭戰，不能為耶和華－他上帝的名建殿，直等到耶和華使仇敵都服在他腳下。

「 nǐ zhī dào wǒ fù qīn dà wèi yīn sì wéi de zhēng zhàn ， bù néng wèi yē hé huá — tā shén de míng jiàn diàn ， zhí děng dào yē hé huá shǐ chóu dí dōu fú zài tā jiǎo xià 。

“You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies under the soles of his feet.

現在耶和華－我的上帝使我四圍平安，沒有仇敵，沒有災禍。

xiàn zài yē hé huá — wǒ de shén shǐ wǒ sì wéi píng ān ， méi yǒu chóu dí ， méi yǒu zāi huò 。

But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.

我定意要為耶和華－我上帝的名建殿，是照耶和華應許我父親大衛的話說：『我必使你兒子接續你坐你的位，他必為我的名建殿。』

wǒ dìng yì yào wèi yē hé huá — wǒ shén de míng jiàn diàn ， shì zhào yē hé huá yīng xǔ wǒ fù qīn dà wèi de huà shuō ：『 wǒ bì shǐ nǐ ér zi jiē xù nǐ zuò nǐ de wèi ， tā bì wèi wǒ de míng jiàn diàn 。』

Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’

所以求你吩咐你的僕人在黎巴嫩為我砍伐香柏木，我的僕人也必幫助他們，我必照你所定的，給你僕人的工價；因為你知道，在我們中間沒有人像西頓人善於砍伐樹木。」

suǒ yǐ qiú nǐ fēn fù nǐ de pú rén zài lí bā nèn wèi wǒ kǎn fá xiāng bǎi mù ， wǒ de pú rén yě bì bāng zhù tā men ， wǒ bì zhào nǐ suǒ dìng de ， gěi nǐ pú rén de gōng jià ； yīn wèi nǐ zhī dào ， zài wǒ men zhōng jiān méi yǒu rén xiàng xī dùn rén shàn yú kǎn fá shù mù 。」

Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”

希蘭聽見所羅門的話，就甚喜悅，說：「今日應當稱頌耶和華；因他賜給大衛一個有智慧的兒子，治理這眾多的民。」

xī lán tīng jiàn suǒ luó mén de huà ， jiù shèn xǐ yuè ， shuō ：「 jīn rì yīng dāng chēng sòng yē hé huá ； yīn tā cì gěi dà wèi yí gè yǒu zhì huì de ér zi ， zhì lǐ zhè zhòng duō de mín 。」

When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people.”

希蘭打發人去見所羅門，說：「你差遣人向我所提的那事，我都聽見了；論到香柏木和松木，我必照你的心願而行。

xī lán dǎ fā rén qù jiàn suǒ luó mén ， shuō ：「 nǐ chāi qiǎn rén xiàng wǒ suǒ tí de nà shì ， wǒ dōu tīng jiàn le ； lùn dào xiāng bǎi mù hé sōng mù ， wǒ bì zhào nǐ de xīn yuàn ér xíng 。

Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.

我的僕人必將這木料從黎巴嫩運到海裏，紮成筏子，浮海運到你所指定我的地方，在那裏拆開，你就可以收取；你也要成全我的心願，將食物給我的家。」

wǒ de pú rén bì jiāng zhè mù liào cóng lí bā nèn yùn dào hǎi lǐ ， zhā chéng fá zǐ ， fú hǎi yùn dào nǐ suǒ zhǐ dìng wǒ de dì fāng ， zài nà lǐ chāi kāi ， nǐ jiù kě yǐ shōu qǔ ； nǐ yě yào chéng quán wǒ de xīn yuàn ， jiāng shí wù gěi wǒ de jiā 。」

My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”

於是希蘭照着所羅門所要的，給他香柏木和松木；

yú shì xī lán zhào zhe suǒ luó mén suǒ yào de ， gěi tā xiāng bǎi mù hé sōng mù ；

So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber according to all his desire.

所羅門給希蘭麥子二萬歌珥，清油二十歌珥，作他家的食物。所羅門每年都是這樣給希蘭。

suǒ luó mén gěi xī lán mài zi èr wàn gē ěr ， qīng yóu èr shí gē ěr ， zuò tā jiā de shí wù 。 suǒ luó mén měi nián dōu shì zhè yàng gěi xī lán 。

Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.

耶和華照着所應許的賜智慧給所羅門。希蘭與所羅門和好，彼此立約。

yē hé huá zhào zhe suǒ yìng xǔ de cì zhì huì gěi suǒ luó mén 。 xī lán yǔ suǒ luó mén hé hǎo ， bǐ cǐ lì yuē 。

The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.

所羅門王從以色列人中挑取服苦的人共有三萬，

suǒ luó mén wáng cóng yǐ sè liè rén zhōng tiāo qǔ fú kǔ de rén gòng yǒu sān wàn ，

King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

派他們輪流每月一萬人上黎巴嫩去；一個月在黎巴嫩，兩個月在家裏。亞多尼蘭掌管他們。

pài tā men lún liú měi yuè yī wàn rén shàng lí bā nèn qù ； yí gè yuè zài lí bā nèn ， liǎng gè yuè zài jiā lǐ 。 yà duō ní lán zhǎng guǎn tā men 。

He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.

所羅門用七萬扛抬的，八萬在山上鑿石頭的。

suǒ luó mén yòng qī wàn káng tái de ， bā wàn zài shān shàng záo shí tou de 。

Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains,

此外，所羅門用三千三百督工的，監管工人。

cǐ wài ， suǒ luó mén yòng sān qiān sān bǎi dū gōng de ， jiān guǎn gōng rén 。

besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work: three thousand three hundred who ruled over the people who labored in the work.

王下令，人就鑿出又大又寶貴的石頭來，用以立殿的根基。

wáng xià lìng ， rén jiù záo chū yòu dà yòu bǎo guì de shí tou lái ， yòng yǐ lì diàn de gēn jī 。

The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.

所羅門的匠人和希蘭的匠人，並迦巴勒人，都將石頭鑿好，預備木料和石頭建殿。

suǒ luó mén de jiàng rén hé xī lán de jiàng rén ， bìng jiā bā lè rén ， dōu jiāng shí tou záo hǎo ， yù bèi mù liào hé shí tou jiàn diàn 。

Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
