Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1所羅門 定意要為耶和華的名建造殿宇，又為自己的國建造宮室。
1And Solomon determined to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.
2所羅門 就挑選七萬扛抬的，八萬在山上鑿石頭的，三千六百督工的。
2And he numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
3所羅門 差人去見 泰爾 王 希蘭 ，說：「你曾運香柏木與我父 大衛 建宮居住， 求你也這樣待我 。
3He sent also to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: As thou didst with David my father, and didst send him cedars, to build him a house, in which he dwelt:
4我要為耶和華－我上帝的名建造殿宇，分別為聖獻給他，在他面前焚燒美香，常擺陳設餅，每早晚、安息日、月朔，並耶和華－我們上帝所定的節期獻燔祭。這是 以色列 人永遠的 定例 。
4So do with me that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to burn incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and for the continual setting forth of bread, and for the holocausts, morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and the solemnities of the Lord our God for ever, which are commanded for Israel.
5我所要建造的殿宇甚大；因為我們的上帝至大，超乎諸神。
5For the house which I desire to build, is great: for our God is great above all gods.
6天和天上的天，尚且不足他居住的，誰能為他建造殿宇呢？我是誰？能為他建造殿宇嗎？不過在他面前燒香而已。
6Who then can be able to build him a worthy house? if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: who am I that I should be able to build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him.
7現在求你差一個巧匠來，就是善用金、銀、銅、鐵，和紫色、朱紅色、藍色 線 ，並精於雕刻之工的巧匠，與我父 大衛 在 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 所預備的巧匠一同做工；
7Send me therefore a skillful man, that knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, in purple, in scarlet and in blue, and that hath skill in engraving, with the artificers, which I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
8又求你從 黎巴嫩 運些香柏木、松木、檀香木到我這裏來，因我知道你的僕人善於砍伐 黎巴嫩 的樹木。我的僕人也必與你的僕人同工。
8Send me also cedars, and fir trees, and pine trees from Libanus: for I know that thy servants are skillful in cutting timber in Libanus, and my servants shall be with thy servants,
9這樣，可以給我預備許多的木料，因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。
9To provide me timber in abundance. For the house which I desire to build, is to be exceeding great, and glorious.
10你的僕人砍伐樹木，我必給他們打好了的小麥二萬歌珥，大麥二萬歌珥，酒二萬罷特，油二萬罷特。」
10And I will give thy servants the workmen that are to cut down the trees, for their food twenty thousand cores of wheat, and as many cores of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.
11泰爾 王 希蘭 寫信回答 所羅門 說：「耶和華因為愛他的子民，所以立你作他們的王」；
11And Hiram king of Tyre sent a letter to Solomon, saying: Because the Lord hath loved his people, therefore he hath made thee king over them.
12又說：「創造天地的耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝是應當稱頌的！他賜給 大衛 王一個有智慧的兒子，使他有謀略聰明，可以為耶和華建造殿宇，又為自己的國建造宮室。
12And he added, saying: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who hath given to king David a wise and knowing son, endued with understanding and prudence, to build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.
13「現在我打發一個精巧有聰明的人去，他是我父親 希蘭 所用的，
13I therefore have sent thee my father Hiram, a wise and most skillful man,
14是 但 支派 一個婦人的兒子。他父親是 泰爾 人，他善用金、銀、銅、鐵、石、木，和紫色、藍色、朱紅色 線 與細麻製造各物，並精於雕刻，又能想出各樣的巧工。請你派定這人，與你的巧匠和你父－我主 大衛 的巧匠一同做工。
14The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, and in marble, and in timber, in purple also, and violet, and silk and scarlet: and who knoweth to grave all sort of graving, and to devise ingeniously all that there may be need of in the work with thy artificers, and with the artificers of my lord David thy father.
15我主所說的小麥、大麥、酒、油，願我主運來給眾僕人。
15The wheat therefore, and the barley and the oil, and the wine, which thou, my lord, hast promised, send to thy servants.
16我們必照你所需用的，從 黎巴嫩 砍伐樹木，紮成筏子，浮海運到 約帕 ；你可以從那裏運到 耶路撒冷 。」
16And we will cut down as many trees out of Libanus, as thou shalt want, and will convey them in floats by sea to Joppe: and it will be thy part to bring them thence to Jerusalem.
17所羅門 仿照他父 大衛 數點住在 以色列 地所有寄居的外邦人，共有十五萬三千六百名；
17And Solomon numbered all the proselytes in the land of Israel, after the numbering which David his father had made, and they were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.
18使七萬人扛抬材料，八萬人在山上鑿石頭，三千六百人督理工作。
18And he set seventy thousand of them to carry burdens on their shoulders, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains: and three thousand and six hundred to be overseers of the work of the people.
