列王紀上 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1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。
1And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David’s friend.
2所羅門 也差遣人去見 希蘭 ，說：
2And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
3「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。
3Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4現在耶和華－我的上帝使我四圍平安，沒有仇敵，沒有災禍。
4But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
5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。』
5Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
6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。」
6Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians.
7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。」
7Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people.
8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。
8And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
9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。」
9My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.
10於是 希蘭 照着 所羅門 所要的，給他香柏木和松木；
10So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.
11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 。
11And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.
12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。
12And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together.
13所羅門 王從 以色列 人中挑取服苦的人共有三萬，
13And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.
14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。
14And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.
15所羅門 用七萬扛抬的，八萬在山上鑿石頭的。
15And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
16此外， 所羅門 用三千三百督工的，監管工人。
16Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.
17王下令，人就鑿出又大又寶貴的石頭來，用以立殿的根基。
17And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
18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。
18And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.
