1st Chronicles 历代志上29

（单词翻译）

29Then King David said to the whole assembly: "My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial¹ structure is not for man but for the Lord God.
2With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God-gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise², stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble-all of these in large quantities.
3Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided for this holy temple:
4three thousand talents of gold (gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings,
5for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen³. Now, who is willing to consecrate⁴ himself today to the Lord ?"
6Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work gave willingly.
7They gave toward the work on the temple of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze and a hundred thousand talents of iron.
8Any who had precious stones gave them to the treasury⁵ of the temple of the Lord in the custody⁶ of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord . David the king also rejoiced greatly.
10David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, "Praise be to you, O Lord , God of our father Israel, from everlasting⁷ to everlasting.
11Yours, O Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty⁸ and the splendor⁹, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord , is the kingdom; you are exalted¹¹ as head over all.
12Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt¹⁰ and give strength to all.
13Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
14"But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
15We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were all our forefathers¹². Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
16O Lord our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.
17I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.
18O Lord , God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep this desire in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you.
19And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, requirements and decrees and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided."
20Then David said to the whole assembly, "Praise the Lord your God." So they all praised the Lord , the God of their fathers; they bowed low and fell prostrate¹³ before the Lord and the king.
21The next day they made sacrifices to the Lord and presented burnt offerings to him: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams¹⁴ and a thousand male lambs, together with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the Lord that day. Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok to be priest.
23So Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of his father David. He prospered¹⁵ and all Israel obeyed him.
24All the officers and mighty¹⁶ men, as well as all of King David's sons, pledged their submission¹⁷ to King Solomon.
25The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed¹⁸ on him royal splendor such as no king over Israel ever had before.
26David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.
27He ruled over Israel forty years-seven in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
28He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.
29As for the events of King David's reign¹⁹, from beginning to end, they are written in the records of Samuel the seer, the records of Nathan the prophet and the records of Gad²⁰ the seer,
30together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.
