1所罗门定意要为耶和华的名建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the Name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
2所罗门就挑选七万，八万在山上凿石头的，三千六百督工的。So he conscripted 70,000 porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
3所罗门差人去见泰尔王，说：“你曾运香柏木与我父大卫建宫居住，求你也这样待我。Then Solomon sent word to Hiram king of Tyre: “Do for me as you did for my father David when you sent him cedars to build himself a house to live in.
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.
8又求你从黎巴嫩运些香柏木、松木、檀香木到我这里来，因我知道你的仆人善于砍伐黎巴嫩的树木。我的仆人也必与你的仆人同工。Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber there. And indeed, my servants will work with yours
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，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.”
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，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.”
17所罗门仿照他父大卫数点住在以色列地所有寄居的外邦人，共有十五万三千六百名；Solomon numbered all the foreign men in the land of Israel following the census his father David had conducted, and there were found to be 153,600 in all.
18使七万人扛抬材料，八万人在山上凿石头，三千六百人督理工作。Solomon made 70,000 of them porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
