又预备无数的香柏木,因为西顿人和推罗人给大卫运了许多香柏木来。
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
大卫说,我儿子所罗门还年幼娇嫩,要为耶和华建造的殿宇必须高大辉煌,使名誉荣耀传遍万国。所以我要为殿预备材料。于是,大卫在未死之先预备的材料甚多。
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
对所罗门说,我儿阿,我心里本想为耶和华我神的名建造殿宇,
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
只是耶和华的话临到我说,你流了多人的血,打了多次大仗,你不可为我的名建造殿宇,因为你在我眼前使多人的血流在地上。
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
你要生一个儿子,他必作太平的人。我必使他安静,不被四围的仇敌扰乱。他的名要叫所罗门(就是太平的意思)。他在位的日子,我必使以色列人平安康泰。
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
我儿阿,现今愿耶和华与你同在,使你亨通,照他指着你说的话,建造耶和华你神的殿。
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
但愿耶和华赐你聪明智慧,好治理以色列国,遵行耶和华你神的律法。
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
你有许多匠人,就是石匠,木匠,和一切能作各样工的巧匠,
Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
并有无数的金银铜铁。你当起来办事,愿耶和华与你同在。
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
耶和华你们的神不是与你们同在吗。不是叫你们四围都平安吗。因他已将这地的居民交在我手中,这地就在耶和华与他百姓面前制伏了。
Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
