1 Wa 5-6
Haitian Creole Version
5 ¶ Iram, wa peyi Tir, te toujou yon bon zanmi wa David. Lè li vin konnen se Salomon ki te vin moute wa nan plas David, papa l', li voye kèk chèf bò kote l'.
2 Salomon ba yo mesaj sa a pou yo pote bay Iram:
3 -Ou konnen ak lagè David, papa m', te genyen ak peyi ki toupre l' yo, li pa t' kapab bati yon kay kote pou yo adore Seyè a, Bondye li a, toutotan Seyè a pa t' fè l' kraze lènmi l' yo anba pye l'.
4 Men koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, ban m' lapè sou tout fwontyè yo. Mwen pa gen moun pou chache m' kont, ni moun pou fè m' move kou.
5 Seyè a te fè David, papa m', pwomès sa a: Se pitit gason ou m'ap mete wa nan plas ou a k'ap bati yon kay pou mwen. Enben, koulye a, mwen fè lide bati yon kay pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an.
6 Ou menm, ou pral bay lòd pou yo koupe kèk pye sèd pou mwen nan peyi Liban. Moun pa m' yo va travay ansanm ak moun pa ou yo. m'a peye mesye ou yo jan wa vle l' la. Ou konnen pa gen moun nan peyi m' ki ka koupe bwa tankou moun Sidon yo.
7 Lè Iram resevwa mesaj Salomon an, sa te fè l' plezi anpil. Li di: -Lwanj jòdi a pou Seyè a ki bay David yon pitit gason ak bon konprann konsa pou gouvènen sou gwo pèp sa a!
8 Apre sa, Iram voye di Salomon: -Mwen resevwa mesaj ou a. M'ap fè tou sa ou mande m' fè pou bwa sèd ak bwa pichpen yo.
9 Moun pa m' yo va pote madriye yo desann soti peyi Liban jouk bò lanmè. Lè y'a rive la, m'a fè yo mare madriye yo fè rado, y'a pouse yo sou lanmè a rive jouk kote w'a chwazi sou kòt la. Rive la, moun pa m' yo va demare madriye yo. Lè sa a, w'a fè moun pa ou yo fè rès travay la. Ou menm, w'a ban m' pwovizyon pou moun pa m' yo.
10 ¶ Se konsa Iram bay Salomon tout madriye sèd ak madriye pichpen li te bezwen.
11 Salomon menm, bò pa l', bay Iram sanmil (100.000) barik ble ak sandimil (110.000) galon lwil oliv chak lanne pou l' bay moun li yo manje.
12 Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Li bay Salomon anpil bon konprann. Te gen bon antann ant Iram ak Salomon. Yo siyen yon kontra yonn ak lòt.
13 wa Salomon fè ranmase trantmil (30.000) moun nan tout peyi Izrayèl la pou fè kòve.
14 Li te mete Adoniram reskonsab kòve a. Li separe mesye yo fè twa gwoup, ak dimil (10.000) moun nan chak. Chak gwoup pase yon mwa nan peyi Liban, de mwa lakay yo. Chak fwa yon gwoup tounen, yon lòt al pran plas li.
15 Salomon te gen katrevenmil (80.000) moun ap taye wòch nan min wòch, ak swasanndimil (70.000) moun pou pote yo lavil Jerizalèm,
16 san konte twamil twasan (3.300) fòmann gouvènè yo te nonmen alatèt mesye sa yo pou kontwole travay yo.
17 Wa Salomon te bay lòd pou yo taye kèk gwo blòk nan bèl wòch pou sèvi fondasyon kay la.
18 Se konsa bòs mason Salomon yo ak bòs mason Iram yo ansanm ak mesye lavil Gebal yo te pare blòk wòch ak bwa pou bati Tanp lan.
6 ¶ Lè sa a te gen katsankatreven (480) lanne depi pèp Izrayèl la te soti kite peyi Lejip, Salomon te gen katran depi li t'ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Nan mwa Ziv la, ki dezyèm mwa nan kalandriye jwif yo, Salomon mete men nan bati kay Seyè a.
2 Kay wa Salomon bati pou Seyè a te gen katrevendis pye longè, trant pye lajè ak karantsenk pye wotè.
3 Premye pyès devan an te gen kenz pye longè, trant pye lajè. Li te menm lajè ak kay la.
4 Miray tanp lan te gen fennèt ak griyaj bare yo.
5 Kole kole ak miray yo, sou de sou kote yo ak sou dèyè Tanp lan ak pyès dèyè a, li fè bati twa ran pyès, yonn sou lòt. Chak etaj te gen sèt pye edmi wotè.
6 Chak pyès nan dènye etaj anba a te gen sèt pye edmi lajè. Pyès nan etaj mitan an te gen nèf pye lajè ak pyès nan etaj anwo nèt la te gen dis pye edmi. Miray tanp lan menm te pi laj anba pase anwo. Konsa, gwo travès plafon yo te chita sou miray yo san yo pa t' bezwen fouye twou ladan yo.
7 Wòch yo te sèvi pou bati Tanp lan te pare depi nan min wòch kote yo te jwenn yo a. Konsa, pandan yo t'ap bati Tanp lan pa t' gen ankenn bri mato, bri sizo, ni bri ankenn zouti fè.
8 Pòt pou antre nan premye chanm anba yo te bay sou bò sid Tanp lan. Te gen eskalye pou moute nan premye ak nan dezyèm etaj yo.
9 Lè Salomon fin bati Tanp lan, li mete yon plafon fèt ak travès ak planch sèd.
10 Li bati pyès chanm yo tout arebò tanp lan. Chak etaj te gen sèt pye edmi wotè. Yo te kole kole ak miray kay la. Yo te mare sou miray la ak travès sèd.
11 ¶ Seyè a pale ak Salomon, li di l' konsa:
12 -Lè w'a fin bati tanp lan, si ou mache dapre lòd mwen, si ou fè sa m' di ou fè, si ou kenbe tout kòmandman mwen yo, m'a fè pou ou tou sa mwen te pwomèt David, papa ou.
13 M'ap rete nan mitan peyi Izrayèl la, mwen p'ap janm lage yo.
14 Se konsa Salomon fin bati Tanp lan.
15 ¶ Tout miray yo te plake sou anndan ak planch sèd depi planche a rive nan plafon an. Planche a te fèt ak bwa pichpen.
16 Li bati sou dèyè tanp lan yon gwo pyès li rele Pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Pyès la te gen trant pye longè. Panno pyès la fèt ak planch sèd ki soti depi atè rive nan plafon an.
17 Pati tanp lan ki te devan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a te gen swasant pye longè.
18 Sou anndan, tout miray tanp lan te kouvri ak planch sèd, ou pa t' ka wè yon wòch. Planch sèd yo te travay ak desen flè ak ti kalbas sou tout kò yo.
19 Anndan Tanp lan, sou dèyè, li bati yon pyès apa pou Seyè a. Se la yo te mete Bwat Kontra Seyè a.
20 Pyès la te gen trant pye longè, trant pye lajè ak trant pye wotè. Li te kouvri nèt ak lò. Sou devan pyès la yo bati yon lotèl ak bwa sèd, lèfini yo te kouvri li nèt ak lò.
21 Tout miray anndan tanp lan te kouvri ak lò. Pyès apa nèt pou Seyè a te kouvri ak lò tou. Yo fè chenn lò pou fèmen pòt pyès ki apa pou Seyè a.
22 Konsa, tout anndan Tanp lan nèt ansanm ak lotèl ki te devan pyès ki apa pou Seyè a te kouvri nèt ak lò.
23 Apre sa, li fè fè de estati zanj cheriben yo an bwa oliv pou pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Chak estati te gen kenz pye wotè.
24 Chak zèl te mezire sèt pye edmi longè. Konsa, depi pwent yon zèl rive nan pwent lòt zèl la te gen kenz pye.
25 Tou de estati yo te gen menm fòm, menm gwosè.
26 Tou de te menm wotè, yo te gen kenz pye wotè.
27 Salomon fè mete de estati yo anndan pyès ki apa pou Seyè a, kòtakòt, ak zèl yo louvri pou pwent zèl anndan yo touche yonn ak lòt nan mitan pyès la, de pwent zèl deyò yo touche ak de miray sou kote yo.
28 De estati ak zèl yo te kouvri nèt ak lò.
29 Sou tout miray anndan tanp lan te gen pòtre zanj cheriben, pòtre pye palmis ak pòtre flè yo te travay nan bwa a.
30 Menm planche a te kouvri ak lò anndan kou deyò.
31 Salomon fè mete yon pòt de batan fèt ak bwa oliv pou fèmen pyès apa pou Seyè a. Lento pòt la ak de montan yo te pran yon senkyèm nan ouvèti pòt la.
32 Batan pòt yo te dekore ak pòtre zanj cheriben, pye palmis ak flè yo te travay nan bwa a. Tout pòt la ansanm ak pòtre yo te kouvri nèt ak lò.
33 Pòt pyès mitan Tanp lan te gen yon ankadreman fèt ak bwa oliv ki te pran yon ka nan ouvèti pòt la.
34 Pòt la menm te fèt an pichpen. Li te gen kat batan, de batan chak bò ki ka fèmen yonn sou lòt.
35 Batan pòt yo te dekore ak pòtre zanj cheriben, pye palmis ak flè yo te travay sou bwa a. Tout pòt la ansanm ak pòtre yo te kouvri nèt ak lò.
36 Li fè bati yon lakou fèmen devan Tanp lan. Miray lakou a te fèt ak yon ranje madriye sèd pou chak twa ranje wòch yonn sou lòt.
37 Se nan katriyèm lanne rèy Salomon, nan mwa Ziv la, yo te mete men nan fondasyon kay Seyè a.
38 Tanp lan te fin bati ak tout ti detay li yo, jan yo te fè plan an, nan onzyèm lanne rèy Salomon nan wityèm mwa kalandriye jwif yo, ki rele Boul. Salomon te pran sètan pou l' bati Tanp lan.

1 Kings 5-6
New International Version
Preparations for Building the Temple(A)
5 [a]When Hiram(B) king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king to succeed his father David, he sent his envoys to Solomon, because he had always been on friendly terms with David. 2 Solomon sent back this message to Hiram:
3 “You know that because of the wars(C) waged against my father David from all sides, he could not build(D) a temple for the Name of the Lord his God until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.(E) 4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest(F) on every side, and there is no adversary(G) or disaster. 5 I intend, therefore, to build a temple(H) for the Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David, when he said, ‘Your son whom I will put on the throne in your place will build the temple for my Name.’(I)
6 “So give orders that cedars(J) of Lebanon be cut for me. My men will work with yours, and I will pay you for your men whatever wages you set. You know that we have no one so skilled in felling timber as the Sidonians.”
7 When Hiram heard Solomon’s message, he was greatly pleased and said, “Praise be to the Lord(K) today, for he has given David a wise son to rule over this great nation.”
8 So Hiram sent word to Solomon:
“I have received the message you sent me and will do all you want in providing the cedar and juniper logs. 9 My men will haul them down from Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea(L), and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate them and you can take them away. And you are to grant my wish by providing food(M) for my royal household.”
10 In this way Hiram kept Solomon supplied with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted, 11 and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors[b] of wheat as food(N) for his household, in addition to twenty thousand baths[c][d] of pressed olive oil. Solomon continued to do this for Hiram year after year. 12 The Lord gave Solomon wisdom,(O) just as he had promised him. There were peaceful relations between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.(P)
13 King Solomon conscripted laborers(Q) from all Israel—thirty thousand men. 14 He sent them off to Lebanon in shifts of ten thousand a month, so that they spent one month in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram(R) was in charge of the forced labor. 15 Solomon had seventy thousand carriers and eighty thousand stonecutters in the hills, 16 as well as thirty-three hundred[e] foremen(S) who supervised the project and directed the workers. 17 At the king’s command they removed from the quarry(T) large blocks of high-grade stone(U) to provide a foundation of dressed stone for the temple. 18 The craftsmen of Solomon and Hiram(V) and workers from Byblos(W) cut and prepared the timber and stone for the building of the temple.
Solomon Builds the Temple(X)
6 In the four hundred and eightieth[f] year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month,(Y) he began to build the temple of the Lord.(Z)
2 The temple(AA) that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.[g] 3 The portico(AB) at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits,[h] and projected ten cubits[i] from the front of the temple. 4 He made narrow windows(AC) high up in the temple walls. 5 Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.(AD) 6 The lowest floor was five cubits[j] wide, the middle floor six cubits[k] and the third floor seven.[l] He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
7 In building the temple, only blocks dressed(AE) at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool(AF) was heard at the temple site while it was being built.
8 The entrance to the lowest[m] floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third. 9 So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar(AG) planks. 10 And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar.
11 The word of the Lord came(AH) to Solomon: 12 “As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands(AI) and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise(AJ) I gave to David your father. 13 And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon(AK) my people Israel.”
14 So Solomon(AL) built the temple and completed(AM) it. 15 He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling,(AN) and covered the floor of the temple with planks of juniper.(AO) 16 He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.(AP) 17 The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits[n] long. 18 The inside of the temple was cedar,(AQ) carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen.
19 He prepared the inner sanctuary(AR) within the temple to set the ark of the covenant(AS) of the Lord there. 20 The inner sanctuary(AT) was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.(AU) 21 Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold. 22 So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
23 For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim(AV) out of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip. 25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape. 26 The height of each cherub was ten cubits. 27 He placed the cherubim(AW) inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 On the walls(AX) all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim,(AY) palm trees and open flowers. 30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary. 32 And on the two olive-wood doors(AZ) he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold. 33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall. 34 He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
36 And he built the inner courtyard(BA) of three courses(BB) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.
37 The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. 38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details(BC) according to its specifications.(BD) He had spent seven years building it.

2 ¶ Wa Salomon te deside bati yon kay kote pou yo fè sèvis pou Seyè a, ansanm ak yon palè pou l' rete.
2 Li mete swasanndimil (70.000) moun ap travay pote materyo, katrevenmil (80.000) moun ap taye wòch nan mòn. Te gen twamilsisan (3.600) moun reskonsab kontwole travay la.
3 Salomon voye misyon bay Iram, wa lavil Tir. Li di l': -Annou fè zafè yonn ak lòt tankou ou te fè avèk wa David, papa m', lè ou te vann li madriye sèd pou l' te bati yon kay pou l' rete.
4 Mwen pral bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an. Se pral yon kay n'ap mete apa pou li, kote n'a boule lansan pou li, kote n'a toujou mete devan l' pen y'ap ofri l' yo, kote chak maten chak aswè y'a ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou li lè jou repo yo, lè lalin nouvèl, ak lè lòt fèt nou fete pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te bay pou yo toujou fè l' nan peyi Izrayèl.
5 Men, se pou tanp mwen pral bati a gwo anpil, paske Bondye nou an gen plis pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo.
6 Lèfini, ki moun ki ka rive bati yon kay vre pou Bondye, si syèl la, atout li gwo a, twò piti pou li? Mwen menm, kisa m' ye pou m' ta bati yon kay pou li? Se annik yon kote pou m' boule lansan pou li m'ap fè.
7 Se konsa, voye ban mwen yon bòs ki gen ladrès pou travay lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, yon bòs ki konn koupe twal ble, twal violèt ak twal wouj, bòs ki konn travay bwa ak wòch tou. L'a travay ansanm ak bòs atizan mwen gen avè m' nan peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm yo, moun David, papa m', te chwazi pou sa.
8 W'a voye ban mwen madriye sèd, bwapen ak bwa koray ki soti nan peyi Liban. Paske mwen konnen moun peyi ou yo konn pare bwa sa yo byen. M'a voye moun pa m' ede pa ou yo
9 pou yo ka pare yon bon kantite bwa, paske se pou tanp mwen fè lide bati a gwo anpil, se pou l' yon bèl bagay.
10 Men pwovizyon m'ap voye pou moun ou yo k'ap koupe pyebwa yo ak pou moun k'ap siye yo: sanmil (100.000) barik ble, sanmil (100.000) barik lòj, sandimil (110.000) galon diven ak sandimil (110.000) galon lwil oliv.
11 ¶ Lè sa a, wa Iram ekri yon lèt voye reponn Salomon. Li di l' nan lèt la: -Se paske Seyè a renmen pèp Izrayèl la kifè li mete ou wa pou gouvènen yo.
12 Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a! Paske li bay wa David yon pitit gason ki gen anpil bon konprann, anpil lespri epi ki veye tou sa l'ap fè, yon pitit ki koulye a fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a ansanm ak yon palè pou tèt pa l'.
13 M'ap voye yon moun ki gen bon konesans ak ladrès ba ou. Se bòs Iram.
14 Manman li se moun branch fanmi Dann. Papa l' se natif natal lavil Tir. Li konn jan pou travay lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, wòch, bwa. Li konn jan pou koupe tou twal fin wouj, ble ak violèt, ak twal lenn tou. Li konn grave tout kalite desen, li ka fè tout kalite travay ou mande l' fè. L'a travay ansanm ak bòs pa ou yo, ak bòs wa David, papa ou, mèt mwen an, te genyen.
15 Koulye a, ou mèt voye ban nou ble, lòj, diven ak lwil oliv ou te di w'ap voye yo.
16 Nou menm bò pa nou, nou pral koupe mezi bwa nan peyi Liban ou ka bezwen. N'a pote yo sou lanmè ba ou lavil Jope, n'a mare yo ansanm fè rado. Rive la, ou menm w'a fè pran yo pote moute lavil Jerizalèm.
17 Lè sa a, Salomon fè konte mete sou lis tout moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan peyi Izrayèl la, menm jan David, papa l', te fè l' la. Li jwenn sansenkanntwamil sisan (153.600) moun.
18 Li pran swasanndimil (70.000) ladan yo pou pote materyo, katrevenmil (80.000) pou taye wòch nan mòn yo. Lèfini, li pran twamilsisan (3.600) ki rete yo, li mete yo fòmann reskonsab pou fè pèp la travay.
3 ¶ Salomon tanmen bati Tanp Seyè a lavil Jerizalèm sou mòn Morija a, kote Seyè a te parèt devan David, papa l', sou anplasman David te pare pou sa a, ki vle di kote Onan, moun Jebis la, te gen glasi l' la.
2 Lè sa a, Salomon te gen twazan yon mwa de jou depi li te wa.
3 Salomon te bati Tanp lan sou yon fondasyon ki te gen katrevendis pye longè sou trant pye lajè.
4 Gwo pyès ki te devan Tanp lan te gen trant pye lajè menm jan ak Tanp lan, ak sankatreven (180) pye wotè. Salomon te fè kouvri tout miray anndan pyès la ak bon lò.
5 Li plake planch bwapen sou tout anndan gwo pyès la. Li kouvri tout bwa yo nèt ak bon lò. Lèfini, li fè yo mete pòtre pye palmis ak ti chenn.
6 Li dekore l' ak bèl pyè koute chè. Yo te sèvi ak bon kalite lò ki soti peyi Pavayim.
7 Li kouvri tout anndan Tanp lan ak lò: travès yo, ankadreman pòt yo, palisad yo ak pòt yo menm. Sou tout palisad yo, li fè mete pòtre zanj cheriben.
8 Yo bati tou pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Li te gen trant pye lajè, menm jan ak Tanp lan, ak trant pye longè, kare kare. Yo sèvi ak venmil (20.000) kilo lò pou kouvri tout anndan l'.
9 Klou yo te sèvi yo te fèt an lò tou. Yo chak te peze senksan (500) gram. Yo kouvri tout miray anndan pyès anwo yo tou ak lò.
10 ¶ Nan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, li fè fè de estati zanj cheriben. Li fè kouvri yo ak lò nèt.
11 -(we vèsè pwochen)
12 -(we vèsè pwochen)
13 Yo te mete zanj yo kanpe yonn bò kote lòt, ak figi yo bay sou pòt antre pyès la. Yo chak te gen de zèl. Chak zèl te gen sèt pye edmi longè. Zèl yo te louvri. Pwent zèl anndan yo touche yonn ak lòt nan mitan pyès la, de pwent zèl deyò yo touche ak de miray sou kote yo. Konsa, longè tout zèl yo ansanm te bay trant pye.
14 Li fè yo fè yon rido pou pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a ak twal ble, twal wouj, twal violèt. Li fè bwode pòtre zanj cheriben sou rido a tou.
15 Salomon fè fè de gwo poto won. Yo chak te gen senkannde pye wotè. Li mete yo kanpe devan Tanp lan. Tèt poto yo te mezire sèt pye edmi wotè.
16 Li fè ti chenn mare yonn ak lòt, li mete yo fè wonn anwo tèt poto yo ansanm ak pòtre grenad li mare nan ti chenn yo.
17 Li mete poto yo devan Tanp lan, yo yonn chak bò pòtay la. Yo rele sa ki te bò dwat la Jakin, sa ki te bò gòch la Boaz.

Preparations for Building the Temple(A)
2 [a]Solomon gave orders to build a temple(B) for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself.(C) 2 He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.(D)
3 Solomon sent this message to Hiram[b](E) king of Tyre:
“Send me cedar logs(F) as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in. 4 Now I am about to build a temple(G) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(H) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(I) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(J) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(K) at the New Moons(L) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
5 “The temple I am going to build will be great,(M) because our God is greater than all other gods.(N) 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(O) Who then am I(P) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
7 “Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers,(Q) whom my father David provided.
8 “Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[c] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours 9 to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[d] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[e] of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.(R)”
11 Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon:
“Because the Lord loves(S) his people, he has made you their king.”
12 And Hiram added:
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth!(T) He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.
13 “I am sending you Huram-Abi,(U) a man of great skill, 14 whose mother was from Dan(V) and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained(W) to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue(X) and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.
15 “Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil(Y) and wine he promised, 16 and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them as rafts by sea down to Joppa.(Z) You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 Solomon took a census of all the foreigners(AA) residing in Israel, after the census(AB) his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600. 18 He assigned(AC) 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.
Solomon Builds the Temple(AD)
3 Then Solomon began to build(AE) the temple of the Lord(AF) in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah[g](AG) the Jebusite, the place provided by David. 2 He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.(AH)
3 The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide[h](AI) (using the cubit of the old standard). 4 The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits[i] long across the width of the building and twenty[j] cubits high.
He overlaid the inside with pure gold. 5 He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree(AJ) and chain designs. 6 He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim(AK) on the walls.
8 He built the Most Holy Place,(AL) its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents[k] of fine gold. 9 The gold nails(AM) weighed fifty shekels.[l] He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.
10 For the Most Holy Place he made a pair(AN) of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold. 11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits[m] long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub. 12 Similarly one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched the other temple wall, and its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim(AO) extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.[n]
14 He made the curtain(AP) of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim(AQ) worked into it.
15 For the front of the temple he made two pillars,(AR) which together were thirty-five cubits[o] long, each with a capital(AS) five cubits high. 16 He made interwoven chains[p](AT) and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates(AU) and attached them to the chains. 17 He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin[q] and the one to the north Boaz.[r]
