Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.
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。
2Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
2所羅門 也差遣人去見 希蘭 ，說：
3“You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies under the soles of his feet.
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。
4But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.
4現在耶和華－我的上帝使我四圍平安，沒有仇敵，沒有災禍。
5Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’
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。』
6Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
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。」
7When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people.”
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。」
8Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.
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。
9My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”
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。」
10So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber according to all his desire.
10於是 希蘭 照着 所羅門 所要的，給他香柏木和松木；
11Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
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 。
12The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.
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。
13King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
13所羅門 王從 以色列 人中挑取服苦的人共有三萬，
14He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
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。
15Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains,
15所羅門 用七萬扛抬的，八萬在山上鑿石頭的。
16besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work: three thousand three hundred who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
16此外， 所羅門 用三千三百督工的，監管工人。
17The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
17王下令，人就鑿出又大又寶貴的石頭來，用以立殿的根基。
18Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
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。
