建造聖殿
3 所羅門在耶路撒冷的摩利亞山上動工興建耶和華的殿，殿址在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麥場，就是大衛指定的地方。耶和華曾在那裡向他父親大衛顯現。 2 所羅門在執政第四年二月二日動工建殿。 3 按照古時的尺度，他建造的上帝殿宇的地基長二十七米，寬九米。 4 殿前的門廊長九米，與殿的寬度一樣，高九米[a]，裡面都貼上純金。 5 大殿裡鑲上松木板，貼上純金，又刻上棕樹和鏈子。 6 所羅門用寶石和巴瓦音的純金裝飾殿。 7 殿的棟樑、牆壁、門檻和門扇也都貼上金子；牆上還刻上基路伯天使。
8 所羅門又動工建造至聖所，長九米，寬九米，與殿的寬度一樣，裡面共貼了二十一噸純金。 9 所用的金釘重六百克。樓房也都貼上了金子。 10 他又在至聖所製造兩個基路伯天使的翅膀，包上金子。 11-13 兩個基路伯天使的翅膀共九米長，每個翅膀長二點二五米。兩個基路伯天使面向大殿站立，他們展開的翅膀共九米長，各有一個翅膀觸到殿牆，一個翅膀互相連接。 14 他用藍色、紫色和朱紅色的線以及細麻織成幔子，並在上面繡上基路伯天使。
15 所羅門在殿前造了兩根柱子，每根高八米，上面的柱冠高二點二五米。 16 他也造了鏈子[b]，裝飾在柱冠上。他又造了一百個石榴，安在鏈子上。 17 這兩根柱子一左一右立在殿的入口處，他給右邊那根取名叫雅斤，給左邊那根取名叫波阿斯。
2 Chronicles 3
New International Reader's Version
Solomon Builds the Temple
3 Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord. He built it on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. That’s where the Lord had appeared to Solomon’s father David. The Lord had appeared at the threshing floor of Araunah. Araunah was from Jebus. David had provided the threshing floor. 2 Solomon began building the temple on the second day of the second month. It was in the fourth year of his rule.
3 Solomon laid the foundation for God’s temple. It was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide. Solomon’s men followed the standard measure used at that time. 4 The porch in front of the temple was 30 feet across and 30 feet high.
Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold. 5 He covered the inside of the main hall with juniper boards. Then he covered the boards with fine gold. He decorated the hall with palm tree patterns and chain patterns. 6 He decorated the temple with valuable jewels. The gold he used came from Parvaim. 7 He covered the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold. He carved cherubim on the walls.
8 He built the Most Holy Room. It was as long as the temple was wide. It was 30 feet long and 30 feet wide. He covered the inside of the Most Holy Room with 23 tons of fine gold. 9 He also covered the upper parts with gold. The gold on the nails weighed 20 ounces.
10 For the Most Holy Room, Solomon made a pair of carved cherubim. He covered them with gold. 11 The total length of the cherubim’s wings from tip to tip was 30 feet. One wing of the first cherub was seven and a half feet long. Its tip touched the temple wall. The other wing was also seven and a half feet long. Its tip touched the wing tip of the other cherub. 12 In the same way one wing of the second cherub was seven and a half feet long. Its tip touched the other temple wall. The other wing was also seven and a half feet long. Its tip touched the wing tip of the first cherub. 13 So the total length of the wings of the two cherubim was 30 feet from tip to tip. The cherubim stood facing the main hall.
14 Solomon made the curtain out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and fine linen. A skilled worker sewed cherubim into its pattern.
15 For the front of the temple, Solomon made two pillars. Each pillar was 26 feet tall. Each had a decorated top seven and a half feet high. 16 Solomon made chains that were linked together. He put them on top of the pillars. He also made 100 pomegranates. He fastened them to the chains. 17 Solomon set the pillars up in front of the temple. One was on the south. The other was on the north. He named the one on the south Jakin. The one on the north he named Boaz.
