历代志下 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

建造圣殿(A)

3 所罗门在耶路撒冷，在耶和华向他父亲大卫显现过的摩利亚山上，就是在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上，大卫预备的地方，开工建造耶和华的殿。 2 所罗门执政后第四年二月初二开始建造。 3 所罗门建造　神殿宇的根基是这样：按古时的尺寸，长二十七公尺，宽九公尺。 4 殿前走廊长九公尺，与殿的宽度相等；高九公尺（“高九公尺”原文作“高一百二十”；现参照古译本修译）；里面贴上纯金。 5 大殿的墙都盖上松木，又贴上精金，又在上面刻上棕树和链子。 6 又用宝石装饰殿墙，十分华美；金子都是巴瓦音的金子。 7 正殿和殿的栋梁、门槛、墙壁和门扇，都贴上金子；墙上刻上基路伯。

建造至圣所(B)

8 他又建造了至圣所，长九公尺，和殿的宽度相等，宽度也是九公尺；里面都贴上精金，共用了二十公吨金子。 9 钉子共重五百七十克金子。阁楼也贴上金子。

10 在至圣所里，雕刻了两个基路伯，都包上金子。 11 两个基路伯的翅膀共长九公尺；一个基路伯的一边翅膀长两公尺两公寸，触着殿墙；另一边翅膀也长两公尺两公寸，和另一个基路伯的翅膀相接。 12 另一个基路伯的一边翅膀也长两公尺两公寸，触着殿墙；另一边的翅膀也长两公尺两公寸，和前一个基路伯的翅膀相接。 13 这两个基路伯的翅膀都张开，共长九公尺；这两个基路伯都面向殿内站立。 14 所罗门又用蓝色紫色朱红色线和细麻做幔子，上面绣上基路伯。

建造两根柱子(C)

15 在殿的前面又做了两根柱子，高十五公尺半，每根柱上面的柱顶，高两公尺两公寸。 16 又做了像项链（按照《马索拉文本》，“像项链”作“在内殿”，意思不明确，可能是“像项链”的误写）的链子，安放在柱头上；又做了石榴一百个，安放在链子上。 17 他把这两根柱子立在殿前，一根在左面，一根在右面；右面的叫雅斤，左面的叫波阿斯。

2 Chronicles 3
Contemporary English Version

The Temple Is Built

(1 Kings 6.1-38)

3 1-2 (A) Solomon's workers began building the temple in Jerusalem on the second day of the second month,[a] four years after Solomon had become king of Israel. It was built on Mount Moriah where the Lord had appeared to David at the threshing place that had belonged to Araunah[b] from Jebus.

3 The inside of the temple was 27 meters long and 9 meters wide, according to the older standards.[c] 4 Across the front of the temple was a porch 9 meters wide and 9 meters[d] high. The inside walls of the porch were covered with pure gold.

5 Solomon had the inside walls of the temple's main room paneled first with pine and then with a layer of gold, and he had them decorated with carvings of palm trees and designs that looked like chains. 6 He used precious stones to decorate the temple, and he used gold imported from Parvaim[e] 7 to decorate the ceiling beams, the doors, the door frames, and the walls. Solomon also told the workers to carve designs of winged creatures into the walls.

8 (B) The most holy place was nine meters square, and its walls were covered with over 20 tons of fine gold. 9 Five hundred and seventy grams of gold was used to cover the heads of the nails. The walls of the small storage rooms were also covered with gold.[f]

10 (C) Solomon had two statues of winged creatures[g] made to put in the most holy place, and he covered them with gold. 11-13 Each creature had two wings and was four and a half meters from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. Solomon set them next to each other in the most holy place, facing the doorway. Their wings were spread out and reached all the way across the nine-meter room.

14 (D) A curtain[h] was made of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, and embroidered with designs of winged creatures.

The Two Columns

(1 Kings 7.15-22)

15 Two columns were made for the entrance to the temple. Each one was 16 meters tall and had a cap on top that was over 2 meters high. 16 The top of each column was decorated with designs that looked like chains[i] and with 100 carvings of pomegranates.[j] 17 Solomon had one of the columns placed on the south side of the temple's entrance; it was called Jachin.[k] The other one was placed on the north side of the entrance; it was called Boaz.[l]

Solomon Builds Yahweh’s House

3 (A)Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared (B)on the threshing floor of [a]Ornan the Jebusite. 2 Then he began to build on the second day in the second month [b]of the fourth year of his reign. 3 Now these are the [c]foundations which (C)Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard was [d]sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits. 4 And the porch which was in front of the house (D)was as long as the width of the house, [e]20 cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. 5 Now he overlaid (E)the [f]main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and [g]ornamented it with palm trees and chains. 6 Further, he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty; and the gold was gold from [h]Parvaim. 7 (F)He also covered the house with gold—the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he (G)carved cherubim on the walls.

8 And he made (H)the [i]room of the Holy of Holies: its length across the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, amounting to [j]600 talents. 9 Now the weight of the nails was [k]fifty shekels of gold. He also covered (I)the upper rooms with gold.

10 (J)Then in the room of the Holy of Holies he made two cherubim of fashioned work and overlaid them with gold. 11 Now the wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits; the wing of one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub. 12 And the wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and its other wing of five cubits was attached to the wing of the [l]first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet [m]facing the main room. 14 (K)And he made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and he ornamented cherubim on it.

15 (L)He also made two pillars for the front of the house, [n]thirty-five cubits [o]high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits. 16 And he made chains in the inner sanctuary and put them on the top of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 (M)Thus he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left, and named the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz.
