建造聖殿(A)

所羅門在耶路撒冷,在耶和華向他父親大衛顯現過的摩利亞山上,就是在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上,大衛預備的地方,開工建造耶和華的殿。 所羅門執政後第四年二月初二開始建造。 所羅門建造 神殿宇的根基是這樣:按古時的尺寸,長二十七公尺,寬九公尺。 殿前走廊長九公尺,與殿的寬度相等;高九公尺(“高九公尺”原文作“高一百二十”;現參照古譯本修譯);裡面貼上純金。 大殿的牆都蓋上松木,又貼上精金,又在上面刻上棕樹和鍊子。 又用寶石裝飾殿牆,十分華美;金子都是巴瓦音的金子。 正殿和殿的棟梁、門檻、牆壁和門扇,都貼上金子;牆上刻上基路伯。

建造至聖所(B)

他又建造了至聖所,長九公尺,和殿的寬度相等,寬度也是九公尺;裡面都貼上精金,共用了二十公噸金子。 釘子共重五百七十克金子。閣樓也貼上金子。

10 在至聖所裡,雕刻了兩個基路伯,都包上金子。 11 兩個基路伯的翅膀共長九公尺;一個基路伯的一邊翅膀長兩公尺兩公寸,觸著殿牆;另一邊翅膀也長兩公尺兩公寸,和另一個基路伯的翅膀相接。 12 另一個基路伯的一邊翅膀也長兩公尺兩公寸,觸著殿牆;另一邊的翅膀也長兩公尺兩公寸,和前一個基路伯的翅膀相接。 13 這兩個基路伯的翅膀都張開,共長九公尺;這兩個基路伯都面向殿內站立。 14 所羅門又用藍色紫色朱紅色線和細麻做幔子,上面繡上基路伯。

建造兩根柱子(C)

15 在殿的前面又做了兩根柱子,高十五公尺半,每根柱上面的柱頂,高兩公尺兩公寸。 16 又做了像項鍊(按照《馬索拉文本》,“像項鍊”作“在內殿”,意思不明確,可能是“像項鍊”的誤寫)的鍊子,安放在柱頭上;又做了石榴一百個,安放在鍊子上。 17 他把這兩根柱子立在殿前,一根在左面,一根在右面;右面的叫雅斤,左面的叫波阿斯。

Zidirea Casei Domnului

Solomon a început să zidească Casa Domnului la Ierusalim, pe muntele Moria, care fusese arătat tatălui său, David, chiar pe locul pregătit de David, în aria iebusitului Ornan[a]. El a început să zidească în cea de-a doua zi a lunii a doua, în al patrulea an al domniei sale. Temelia pe care a zidit-o Solomon Casei lui Dumnezeu avea şaizeci de coţi[b] lungime şi douăzeci de coţi[c] lăţime, după măsura veche a cotului.[d] Porticul din faţa odăii principale a Casei se întindea pe toată lăţimea Casei, adică pe douăzeci de coţi, şi avea o înălţime de o sută douăzeci de coţi. El l-a placat în interior cu aur curat. A acoperit odaia principală[e] cu lemn de chiparos, a poleit-o cu aur fin şi a gravat pe ea palmieri şi reţele de lanţuri. De asemenea, a împodobit odaia cu pietre preţioase. Aurul folosit era aur de Parvayim[f]. A poleit cu aur grinzile şi pragurile Casei, precum şi zidurile şi porţile lui şi a încrustat heruvimi pe ziduri.

A făcut şi Locul Preasfânt. Lungimea lui era de douăzeci de coţi, cât lăţimea Casei, iar lăţimea lui era tot de douăzeci de coţi. El l-a placat cu şase sute de talanţi[g] de aur fin. Greutatea aurului folosit la confecţionarea cuielor a fost de cincizeci de şecheli[h]. A placat cu aur şi odăile de sus. 10 În Locul Preasfânt a făcut doi heruvimi sculptaţi şi i-a poleit cu aur. 11 Aripile heruvimilor aveau lungimea de douăzeci de coţi. O aripă a unuia dintre heruvimi, de cinci coţi[i] lungime, atingea zidul Casei, iar cealaltă aripă, tot de cinci coţi lungime, atingea aripa celuilalt heruvim. 12 Tot aşa, o aripă a celuilalt heruvim, de cinci coţi lungime, atingea zidul Casei, iar cealaltă aripă a sa, tot de cinci coţi lungime, se unea cu aripa celui dintâi heruvim. 13 Aşadar, aripile întinse ale acestor heruvimi aveau douăzeci de coţi. Ei stăteau în picioare, cu faţa spre odaia principală[j].

14 A făcut şi draperia din fire de culoare albastră, purpurie şi stacojie şi din in subţire şi a brodat-o cu heruvimi. 15 În faţa Casei a făcut doi stâlpi a căror înălţime era de treizeci şi cinci de coţi[k], fiecare având în vârf un capitel de cinci coţi. 16 A mai făcut nişte reţele de lanţuri, asemenea celor din sanctuarul interior[l] şi le-a pus pe vârfurile stâlpilor.[m] Apoi a făcut o sută de rodii şi le-a fixat pe reţelele de lanţuri. 17 A ridicat stâlpii în faţa Templului[n], pe unul în partea dreaptă şi pe celălalt în partea stângă. Pe cel din dreapta l-a numit Iachin[o], iar pe cel din stânga – Boaz[p].

Chapter 3

Construction of the Temple.[a] Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the site that David had chosen, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. He commenced building it on the second day of the second month of the fourth year of his reign.

These are the measurements specified by Solomon for building the house of God. According to the old standard of measurement, its length was sixty cubits and its width was twenty cubits.[b] The vestibule was twenty cubits long, spanning the entire breadth of the house of God, and its height was also twenty cubits.

He overlaid the nave with cypress, which he covered with fine gold and embossed with palms and chains. He also adorned the house beautifully with settings of precious stones and with gold from Parvaim. Then he overlaid the house with gold, including its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors, and he carved cherubim on the walls.

He also made the Holy of Holies. Its length, corresponding to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid all of it with six hundred talents of fine gold. The weight of the gold nails was fifty shekels. He also overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 For the Holy of Holies he made two carved cherubim which were then overlaid with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim[c] together had a total span of twenty cubits. A wing of one cherub, five cubits in length, extended to a wall of the building, while the other wing reached out to meet a wing of the other cherub. 12 Similarly, one wing of the second cherub also extended five cubits to touch the other wall of the building, while its other wing reached out to meet a wing of the first cherub.

13 The combined wings of these two cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood with their feet on the ground, facing the nave. 14 Solomon also made the curtain[d] of purple, crimson, and blue fabrics and fine linen and embroidered it with winged creatures.

15 In front of the temple he erected two pillars that totaled thirty-five cubits high, with a capital measuring five cubits on the top of each pillar. 16 Next he made chains in the form of a necklace and put them on the tops of the pillars, and then he carved one hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. 17 Finally, he erected the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left. The one on the right he called Jachin, and the one on the left he called Boaz.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)

Then Solomon began to build(B) the temple of the Lord(C) in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah[a](D) the Jebusite, the place provided by David. He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.(E)

The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide[b](F) (using the cubit of the old standard). The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits[c] long across the width of the building and twenty[d] cubits high.

He overlaid the inside with pure gold. He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree(G) and chain designs. He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim. He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim(H) on the walls.

He built the Most Holy Place,(I) its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents[e] of fine gold. The gold nails(J) weighed fifty shekels.[f] He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.

10 For the Most Holy Place he made a pair(K) 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[g] 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(L) extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.[h]

14 He made the curtain(M) of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim(N) worked into it.

15 For the front of the temple he made two pillars,(O) which together were thirty-five cubits[i] long, each with a capital(P) five cubits high. 16 He made interwoven chains[j](Q) and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates(R) 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[k] and the one to the north Boaz.[l]
