And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom； and the LORD his God was with him； and magnified him exceedingly。
1：2所罗门吩咐以色列众人，就是千夫长，百夫长，审判官，首领与族长都来。
Then Solomon spake unto all Israel； to the captains of thousands and of hundreds； and to the judges； and to every governor in all Israel； the chief of the fathers。
1：3所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去，因那里有神的会幕，就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。
So Solomon； and all the congregation with him； went to the high place that was at Gibeon； for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God； which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness。
1：4只是神的约柜，大卫已经从基列耶琳搬到他所预备的地方，因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕，
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it： for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem。
1：5并且户珥的孙子，乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前。所罗门和会众都就近坛前。
Moreover the brasen altar； that Bezaleel the son of Uri； the son of Hur； had made； he put before the tabernacle of the LORD： and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it。
1：6所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里，献一千牺牲为燔祭。
And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD； which was at the tabernacle of the congregation； and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it。
1：7当夜，神向所罗门显现，对他说，你愿我赐你什么，你可以求。
In that night did God appear unto Solomon； and said unto him； Ask what I shall give thee。
1：8所罗门对神说，你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。
And Solomon said unto God； Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father； and hast made me to reign in his stead。
1：9耶和华神阿，现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话。因你立我作这民的王，他们如同地上尘沙那样多。
Now； O LORD God； let thy promise unto David my father be established： for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude。
1：10求你赐我智慧聪明，我好在这民前出入。不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢。
Give me now wisdom and knowledge； that I may go out and e in before this people： for who can judge this thy people； that is so great？
1：11神对所罗门说，我已立你作我民的王。你既有这心意，并不求资财，丰富，尊荣，也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命，又不求大寿数，只求智慧聪明好判断我的民。
And God said to Solomon； Because this was in thine heart； and thou hast not asked riches； wealth； or honour； nor the life of thine enemies； neither yet hast asked long life； but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself； that thou mayest judge my people； over whom I have made thee king：
1：12我必赐你智慧聪明，也必赐你资财，丰富，尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样，在你以后也必没有这样的。
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee； and I will give thee riches； and wealth； and honour； such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee； neither shall there any after thee have the like。
1：13于是，所罗门从基遍邱坛会幕前回到耶路撒冷，治理以色列人。
Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem； from before the tabernacle of the congregation； and reigned over Israel。
1：14所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen： and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots； and twelve thousand horsemen； which he placed in the chariot cities； and with the king at Jerusalem。
1：15王在耶路撒冷使金银多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones； and cedar trees made he as the syore trees that are in the vale for abundance。
1：16所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt； and linen yarn： the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price。
1：17他们从埃及买来的车，每辆价银七百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。
And they fetched up； and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver； and an horse for an hundred and fifty： and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites； and for the kings of Syria； by their means。

2：1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。
And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD； and an house for his kingdom。
2：2所罗门就挑选七万扛抬的，八万在山上凿石头的，三千六百督工的。
And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens； and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain； and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them。
2：3所罗门差人去见推罗王希兰，说，你曾运香柏木与我父大卫建宫居住，求你也这样待我。
And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre； saying； As thou didst deal with David my father； and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein； even so deal with me。
2：4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 build an house to the name of the LORD my God； to dedicate it to him； and to burn before him sweet incense； and for the continual shewbread； and for the burnt offerings morning and evening； on the sabbaths； and on the new moons； and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God。 This is an ordinance for ever to Israel。
2：5我所要建造的殿宇甚大。因为我们的神至大，超乎诸神。
And the house which I build is great： for great is our God above all gods。
2：6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 him an house； seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him？ who am I then； that I should build him an house； save only to burn sacrifice before him？
2：7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作工。
Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold； and in silver； and in brass； and in iron； and in purple； and crimson； and blue； and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem； whom David my father did provide。
2：8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 trees； fir trees； and algum trees； out of Lebanon： for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon； and； behold； my servants shall be with thy servants；
2：9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。
Even to prepare me timber in abundance： for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great。
2：10你的仆人砍伐树木，我必给他们打好了的小麦二万歌珥，大麦二万歌珥，酒二万吧特，油二万吧特。
And； behold； I will give to thy servants； the hewers that cut timber； twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat； and twenty thousand measures of barley； and twenty thousand baths of wine； and twenty thousand baths of oil。
2：11推罗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 Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing； which he sent to Solomon； Because the LORD hath loved his people； he hath made thee king over them。
2：12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。
Huram said moreover； Blessed be the LORD God of Israel； that made heaven and earth； who hath given to David the king a wise son； endued with prudence and understanding； that might build an house for the LORD； and an house for his kingdom。
2：13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，
And now I have sent a cunning man； endued with understanding； of Huram my father's；
2：14是但支派一个妇人的儿子。他父亲是推罗人，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。
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan； and his father was a man of Tyre； skilful to work in gold； and in silver； in brass； in iron； in stone； and in timber； in purple； in blue； and in fine linen； and in crimson； also to grave any manner of graving； and to find out every device which shall be put to him； with thy cunning men； and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father。
2：15我主所说的小麦，大麦，酒，油，愿我主运来给众仆人。
Now therefore the wheat； and the barley； the oil； and the wine； which my lord hath spoken of； let him send unto his servants：
2：16我们必照你所需用的，从黎巴嫩砍伐树木，扎成筏子，浮海运到约帕。你可以从那里运到耶路撒冷。
And we will cut wood out of Lebanon； as much as thou shalt need： and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa； and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem。
