Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.

Then Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,

You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the Lord his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.

But now the Lord my God has secured me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

So behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will put on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.’

Now then, issue orders that they cut cedars from Lebanon for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants in accordance with all that you say, for you yourself know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”

솔로몬이 기름 부음을 받고 그의 아버지를 이어 왕이 되었다 함을 두로 왕 히람이 듣고 그의 신하들을 솔로몬에게 보냈으니 이는 히람이 평생에 다윗을 사랑하였음이라

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.

이에 솔로몬이 히람에게 사람을 보내어 이르되

Then Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,

당신도 알거니와 내 아버지 다윗이 사방의 전쟁으로 말미암아 그의 하나님 여호와의 이름을 위하여 성전을 건축하지 못하고 여호와께서 그의 원수들을 그의 발바닥 밑에 두시기를 기다렸나이다

You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the Lord his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.

이제 내 하나님 여호와께서 내게 사방의 태평을 주시매 원수도 없고 재앙도 없도다

But now the Lord my God has secured me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

여호와께서 내 아버지 다윗에게 하신 말씀에 내가 너를 이어 네 자리에 오르게 할 네 아들 그가 내 이름을 위하여 성전을 건축하리라 하신 대로 내가 내 하나님 여호와의 이름을 위하여 성전을 건축하려 하오니

So behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will put on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.’

당신은 명령을 내려 나를 위하여 레바논에서 백향목을 베어내게 하소서 내 종과 당신의 종이 함께 할 것이요 또 내가 당신의 모든 말씀대로 당신의 종의 삯을 당신에게 드리리이다 당신도 알거니와 우리 중에는 시돈 사람처럼 벌목을 잘하는 자가 없나이다

Now then, issue orders that they cut cedars from Lebanon for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants in accordance with all that you say, for you yourself know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
