٢ أخبار 3

١ 1 وَشَرَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي جَبَلِ ٱلْمُرِيَّا حَيْثُ تَرَاءَى لِدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، حَيْثُ هَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ مَكَانًا فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ.

And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in the mount of Amoria, where the Lord appeared to his father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.

٢ 2 وَشَرَعَ فِي ٱلْبِنَاءِ فِي ثَانِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ.

And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

٣ 3 وَهَذِهِ أَسَّسَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ: ٱلطُّولُ بِٱلذِّرَاعِ عَلَى ٱلْقِيَاسِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱلْعَرْضُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.

And thus Solomon began to build the house of God: the length in cubits—even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

٤ 4 وَٱلرِّواقُ ٱلَّذِي قُدَّامَ ٱلطُّولِ حَسَبَ عَرْضِ ٱلْبَيْتِ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، وَغَشَّاهُ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and twenty cubits: and he gilded it within with pure gold.

٥ 5 وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ غَشَّاهُ بِخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ، غَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَخِيلًا وَسَلَاسِلَ.

And he lined the great house with cedar wood, and gilded it with pure gold, and carved upon it palm-trees and chains.

٦ 6 وَرَصَّعَ ٱلْبَيْتَ بِحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ لِلْجَمَالِ. وَٱلذَّهَبُ ذَهَبُ فَرَوَايِمَ.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; and he gilded it with gold of the gold from Pharuim.

٧ 7 وَغَشَّى ٱلْبَيْتَ: أَخْشَابَهُ وَأَعْتَابَهُ وَحِيطَانَهُ وَمَصَارِيعَهُ بِذَهَبٍ، وَنَقَشَ كَرُوبِيمَ عَلَى ٱلْحِيطَانِ.

And he gilded the house, and its [inner] walls, and the door-posts, and the roofs, and the doors with gold; and he carved cherubs on the walls.

٨ 8 وَعَمِلَ بَيْتَ قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ، طُولُهُ حَسَبَ عَرْضِ ٱلْبَيْتِ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ جَيِّدٍ سِتِّ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ.

And he built the holy of holies, its length was according to the front [of the other house], the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the length twenty cubits: and he gilded [it] with pure gold for cherubs, to [the amount of] six hundred talents.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ وَزْنُ ٱلْمَسَامِيرِ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَغَشَّى ٱلْعَلَالِيَّ بِذَهَبٍ.

And the weight of the nails, [even] the weight of each was fifty shekels of gold: and he gilded the upper chamber with gold.

١٠ 10 وَعَمِلَ فِي بَيْتِ قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ كَرُوبَيْنِ صَنَاعَةَ ٱلصِّيَاغَةِ، وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ.

And he made two cherubs in the most holy house, wood-work, and he gilded them with gold.

١١ 11 وَأَجْنِحَةُ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ طُولُهَا عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، ٱلْجَنَاحُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَمَسُّ حَائِطَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَٱلْجَنَاحُ ٱلْآخَرُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَمَسُّ جَنَاحَ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ.

And the wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits in length: and one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house: and the other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the other cherub.

١٢ 12 وَجَنَاحُ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَمَسُّ حَائِطَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَٱلْجَنَاحُ ٱلْآخَرُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَتَّصِلُ بِجَنَاحِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ.

١٣ 13 وَأَجْنِحَةُ هَذَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ مُنْبَسِطَةٌ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَهُمَا وَاقِفَانِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمَا وَوَجْهُهُمَا إِلَى دَاخِلٍ.

And the wings of these cherubs expanded were of the length of twenty cubits: and they stood upon their feet, and their faces were towards the house.

١٤ 14 وَعَمِلَ ٱلْحِجَابَ مِنْ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ وَأُرْجُوانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ وَكَتَّانٍ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ كَرُوبِيمَ.

And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and wove cherubs in it.

١٥ 15 وَعَمِلَ أَمَامَ ٱلْبَيْتِ عَمُودَيْنِ، طُولُهُمَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱلتَّاجَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ.

Also he made in front of the house two pillars, in height thirty-five cubits, and their chapters of five cubits.

١٦ 16 وَعَمِلَ سَلَاسِلَ كَمَا فِي ٱلْمِحْرَابِ وَجَعَلَهَا عَلَى رَأْسَيِ ٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ، وَعَمِلَ مِئَةَ رُمَّانَةٍ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي ٱلسَّلَاسِلِ.

And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

١٧ 17 وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ أَمَامَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَاحِدًا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَوَاحِدًا عَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ، وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ «يَاكِينَ» وَٱسْمَ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ «بُوعَزَ».

And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left: and he called the name of the one on the right hand 'Stability,' and the name of the one on the left 'Strength.'
