大卫招聚众首领

¹大卫招聚以色列各支派的首领和轮班服事王的军长，与千夫长、百夫长，掌管王和王子产业牲畜的，并太监，以及大能的勇士，都到耶路撒冷来。Now David summoned all the leaders of Israel to Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials and mighty men—every mighty man of valor.

神拣选所罗门建殿

²大卫王就站起来，说：“我的弟兄，我的百姓啊，你们当听我言，我心里本想建造殿宇，安放耶和华的约柜，作为我　神的脚凳；我已经预备建造的材料。Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and as a footstool for our God. I had made preparations to build it,

³只是　神对我说：‘你不可为我的名建造殿宇；因你是战士，流了人的血。’but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has shed blood.’

⁴然而，耶和华—以色列的　神在我父的全家拣选我作以色列的王，直到永远。因他拣选犹大为首领；在犹大支派中拣选我父家，在我父的众子里喜悦我，立我作以色列众人的王。Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased to make me king over all Israel.

⁵耶和华赐我许多儿子，在我儿子中拣选所罗门坐耶和华的国位，治理以色列人。And of all my sons—for the LORD has given me many sons—He has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

⁶耶和华对我说：‘你儿子所罗门必建造我的殿和院宇；因为我拣选他作我的子，我也必作他的父。And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.

⁷他若恒久遵行我的诫命典章如今日一样，我就必坚定他的国位，直到永远。’I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’

⁸现今在耶和华的会中，以色列众人眼前所说的，我们的　神也听见了。你们应当寻求耶和华—你们　神的一切诫命，谨守遵行，如此你们可以承受这美地，遗留给你们的子孙，永远为业。So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants forever.

我儿所罗门哪，你当认识神

⁹“我儿所罗门哪，你当认识耶和华—你父的　神，诚心乐意地事奉他；因为他鉴察众人的心，知道一切心思意念。你若寻求他，他必使你寻见；你若离弃他，他必永远丢弃你。As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

¹⁰你当谨慎，因耶和华拣选你建造殿宇作为圣所。你当刚强去行。”Consider now that the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”

把圣殿的样式交给所罗门

¹¹大卫将殿的游廊、旁屋、府库、楼房、内殿，和施恩所的样式指示他儿子所罗门，Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the mercy seat.

¹²又将被灵感动所得的样式，就是耶和华　神殿的院子、周围的房屋、殿的府库，和圣物府库的一切样式都指示他；The plans contained everything David had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of the dedicated things,

¹³又指示他祭司和利未人的班次与耶和华殿里各样的工作，并耶和华殿里一切器皿的样式，for the divisions of the priests and Levites, for all the work of service in the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD:

¹⁴以及各样应用金器的分两和各样应用银器的分两，the weight of all the gold articles for every kind of service; the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of service;

¹⁵金灯台和金灯的分两，银灯台和银灯的分两，轻重各都合宜；the weight of the gold lampstands and their lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; the weight of each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;

¹⁶陈设饼金桌子的分两，银桌子的分两，the weight of gold for each table of showbread, and of silver for the silver tables;

¹⁷精金的肉叉子、盘子，和爵的分两，各金碗与各银碗的分两，the weight of the pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls, and pitchers; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;

¹⁸精金香坛的分两，并用金子做基路伯（原文是用金子做车式的基路伯）；基路伯张开翅膀，遮掩耶和华的约柜。the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

¹⁹大卫说：“这一切工作的样式都是耶和华用手划出来使我明白的。”“All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”

刚强壮胆去行

²⁰大卫又对他儿子所罗门说：“你当刚强壮胆去行！不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。因为耶和华　神就是我的　神，与你同在；他必不撇下你，也不丢弃你，直到耶和华殿的工作都完毕了。David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you before all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

²¹有祭司和利未人的各班，为要办理　神殿各样的事，又有灵巧的人在各样的工作上乐意帮助你；并有众首领和众民一心听从你的命令。”The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of every skill will be at your disposal for the work. The officials and all the people are fully at your command.”

大卫带头乐意奉献

¹大卫王对会众说：“我儿子所罗门是　神特选的，还年幼娇嫩；这工程甚大，因这殿不是为人，乃是为耶和华　神建造的。Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

²我为我　神的殿已经尽力，预备金子做金器，银子做银器，铜做铜器，铁做铁器，木做木器，还有红玛瑙可镶嵌的宝石，彩石和一切的宝石，并许多汉白玉。Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.

³且因我心中爱慕我　神的殿，就在预备建造圣殿的材料之外，又将我自己积蓄的金银献上，建造我　神的殿，Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:

⁴就是俄斐金三千他连得、精炼的银子七千他连得，以贴殿墙。three thousand talents of gold (the gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings,

⁵金子做金器，银子做银器，并借匠人的手制造一切。今日有谁乐意将自己献给耶和华呢？”for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who is willing to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”

众首领乐意献上

⁶于是，众族长和以色列各支派的首领、千夫长、百夫长，并监管王工的官长，都乐意献上。Then the leaders of the families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.

⁷他们为　神殿的使用献上金子五千他连得零一万达利克，银子一万他连得，铜一万八千他连得，铁十万他连得。Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

⁸凡有宝石的都交给革顺人耶歇，送入耶和华殿的府库。Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

⁹因这些人诚心乐意献给耶和华，百姓就欢喜，大卫王也大大欢喜。And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.

大卫称颂耶和华

¹⁰所以，大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华说：“耶和华—我们的父，以色列的　神是应当称颂，直到永永远远的！Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

¹¹耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；国度也是你的，并且你为至高，为万有之首。Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

¹²丰富尊荣都从你而来，你也治理万物。在你手里有大能大力，使人尊大强盛都出于你。Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.

¹³我们的　神啊，现在我们称谢你，赞美你荣耀之名！Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.

¹⁴“我算什么，我的民算什么，竟能如此乐意奉献？因为万物都从你而来，我们把从你而得的献给你。But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You.

¹⁵我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影儿，不能长存（或译：没有长存的指望）。For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

¹⁶耶和华—我们的　神啊，我们预备这许多材料，要为你的圣名建造殿宇，都是从你而来，都是属你的。O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You.

¹⁷我的　神啊，我知道你察验人心，喜悦正直；我以正直的心乐意献上这一切物。现在我喜欢见你的民在这里都乐意奉献与你。I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.

¹⁸耶和华—我们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的　神啊，求你使你的民常存这样的心思意念，坚定他们的心归向你，O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.

¹⁹又求你赐我儿子所罗门诚实的心，遵守你的命令、法度、律例，成就这一切的事，用我所预备的建造殿宇。”And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”

会众献祭，所罗门再次受膏

²⁰大卫对全会众说：“你们应当称颂耶和华—你们的　神。”于是会众称颂耶和华—他们列祖的　神，低头拜耶和华与王。Then David said to the whole assembly, “Bless the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.

²¹次日，他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭，就是献公牛一千只，公绵羊一千只，羊羔一千只，并同献的奠祭；又为以色列众人献许多的祭。那日，他们在耶和华面前吃喝，大大欢乐。The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

²²他们奉耶和华的命再膏大卫的儿子所罗门作王，又膏撒督作祭司。That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.

²³于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上，接续他父亲大卫作王，万事亨通；以色列众人也都听从他。So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

²⁴众首领和勇士，并大卫王的众子，都顺服所罗门王。All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

²⁵耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人眼前甚为尊大，极其威严，胜过在他以前的以色列王。The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.

大卫去世

²⁶耶西的儿子大卫作以色列众人的王，David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.

²⁷作王共四十年：在希伯仑作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

³⁰他的国事和他的勇力，以及他和以色列并列国所经过的事都写在这书上。together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.

使徒行许多神迹奇事

¹²主借使徒的手在民间行了许多神迹奇事；他们（或译：信的人）都同心合意地在所罗门的廊下。The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.

¹³其余的人没有一个敢贴近他们，百姓却尊重他们。Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.

¹⁴信而归主的人越发增添，连男带女很多。Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.

使徒被关，天使开监门

¹⁷大祭司和他的一切同人，就是撒都该教门的人，都起来，满心忌恨，Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out

¹⁸就下手拿住使徒，收在外监。and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.

¹⁹但主的使者夜间开了监门，领他们出来，But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,

²⁰说：“你们去站在殿里，把这生命的道都讲给百姓听。”“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”

天亮又进殿教训人

²¹使徒听了这话，天将亮的时候就进殿里去教训人。大祭司和他的同人来了，叫齐公会的人和以色列族的众长老，就差人到监里去，要把使徒提出来。At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.

监里一个人都不见

²²但差役到了，不见他们在监里，就回来禀报说：But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

²³“我们看见监牢关得极妥当，看守的人也站在门外；及至开了门，里面一个人都不见。”“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

²⁴守殿官和祭司长听见这话，心里犯难，不知这事将来如何。When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

²⁵有一个人来禀报说：“你们收在监里的人，现在站在殿里教训百姓。”Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”

²⁶于是守殿官和差役去带使徒来，并没有用强暴，因为怕百姓用石头打他们。At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

顺从神，不顺从人

²⁷带到了，便叫使徒站在公会前；大祭司问他们说：They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.

²⁸“我们不是严严地禁止你们，不可奉这名教训人吗？你们倒把你们的道理充满了耶路撒冷，想要叫这人的血归到我们身上！”“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”

²⁹彼得和众使徒回答说：“顺从　神，不顺从人，是应当的。But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

³²我们为这事作见证；　神赐给顺从之人的圣灵也为这事作见证。”We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
