³所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去，因那里有　神的会幕，就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

所罗门求智慧

⁷当夜，　神向所罗门显现，对他说：“你愿我赐你什么，你可以求。”That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”

⁸所罗门对　神说：“你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.

⁹耶和华　神啊，现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话；因你立我作这民的王，他们如同地上尘沙那样多。Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

¹⁰求你赐我智慧聪明，我好在这民前出入；不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢？”Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”

¹¹神对所罗门说：“我已立你作我民的王。你既有这心意，并不求资财、丰富、尊荣，也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命，又不求大寿数，只求智慧聪明好判断我的民；God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or honor for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—

¹²我必赐你智慧聪明，也必赐你资财、丰富、尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样，在你以后也必没有这样的。”therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”

⁴我要为耶和华—我　神的名建造殿宇，分别为圣献给他，在他面前焚烧美香，常摆陈设饼，每早晚、安息日、月朔，并耶和华—我们　神所定的节期献燔祭。这是以色列人永远的定例。Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.

⁵我所要建造的殿宇甚大；因为我们的　神至大，超乎诸神。The house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.

⁶天和天上的天，尚且不足他居住的，谁能为他建造殿宇呢？我是谁？能为他建造殿宇吗？不过在他面前烧香而已。But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?

⁷现在求你差一个巧匠来，就是善用金、银、铜、铁，和紫色、朱红色、蓝色线，并精于雕刻之工的巧匠，与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一同做工；Send me, therefore, a craftsman skilled in engraving to work with gold and silver, with bronze and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue yarn. He will work with my craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided.

⁹这样，可以给我预备许多的木料，因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。to prepare for me timber in abundance, because the temple I am building will be great and wonderful.

¹⁰你的仆人砍伐树木，我必给他们打好了的小麦二万歌珥，大麦二万歌珥，酒二万罢特，油二万罢特。”I will pay your servants, the woodcutters, 20,000 cors of ground wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths of wine, and 20,000 baths of olive oil.”

希兰回信

¹¹泰尔王希兰写信回答所罗门说：“耶和华因为爱他的子民，所以立你作他们的王”；Then Hiram king of Tyre wrote a letter in reply to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has set you over them as king.”

¹²又说：“创造天地的耶和华—以色列的　神是应当称颂的！他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子，使他有谋略聪明，可以为耶和华建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。And Hiram added: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.

¹³“现在我打发一个精巧有聪明的人去，他是我父亲希兰所用的，So now I am sending you Huram-abi, a skillful man endowed with creativity.

¹⁴是但支派一个妇人的儿子。他父亲是泰尔人，他善用金、银、铜、铁、石、木，和紫色、蓝色、朱红色线与细麻制造各物，并精于雕刻，又能想出各样的巧工。请你派定这人，与你的巧匠和你父—我主大卫的巧匠一同做工。He is the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father is a man of Tyre. He is skilled in work with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson yarn, and fine linen. He is experienced in every kind of engraving and can execute any design that is given him. He will work with your craftsmen and with those of my lord, your father David.

¹⁵我主所说的小麦、大麦、酒、油，愿我主运来给众仆人。Now let my lord send to his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he promised.

¹⁶我们必照你所需用的，从黎巴嫩砍伐树木，扎成筏子，浮海运到约帕；你可以从那里运到耶路撒冷。”We will cut logs from Lebanon, as many as you need, and we will float them to you as rafts by sea down to Joppa. Then you can take them up to Jerusalem.”

公会想杀使徒

³³公会的人听见就极其恼怒，想要杀他们。When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

迦玛列的劝告

³⁴但有一个法利赛人，名叫迦玛列，是众百姓所敬重的教法师，在公会中站起来，吩咐人把使徒暂且带到外面去，But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

³⁵就对众人说：“以色列人哪，论到这些人，你们应当小心怎样办理。“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

³⁶从前杜达起来，自夸为大；附从他的人约有四百，他被杀后，附从他的全都散了，归于无有。Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

³⁷此后，报名上册的时候，又有加利利的犹大起来，引诱些百姓跟从他；他也灭亡，附从他的人也都四散了。After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.

³⁸现在，我劝你们不要管这些人，任凭他们吧！他们所谋的、所行的，若是出于人，必要败坏；So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.

³⁹若是出于　神，你们就不能败坏他们，恐怕你们倒是攻击　神了。”But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

⁴⁰公会的人听从了他，便叫使徒来，把他们打了，又吩咐他们不可奉耶稣的名讲道，就把他们释放了。At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

欢喜为主的名受辱

⁴¹他们离开公会，心里欢喜，因被算是配为这名受辱。The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

⁴²他们就每日在殿里、在家里不住地教训人，传耶稣是基督。Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
