2 أخبار 3

١ 1 وَأَخَذَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ الْيَبُوسِيِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى جَبَلِ الْمُرَيَّا، حَيْثُ تَرَاءَى الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَحَيْثُ وَقَعَ اخْتِيَارُ دَاوُدَ عَلَى مَكَانِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

Then Solomon began to build the house of YHWH at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where YHWH appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

٢ 2 وَشَرَعَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ.

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

٣ 3 أَمَّا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ فَكَانَ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً) طُولاً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) عَرْضاً.

Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of Elohim. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

٤ 4 وَكَانَ طُولُ الرُّوَاقِ الْقَائِمِ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) مُعَادِلاً لِعَرْضِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَارْتِفَاعُهُ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّينَ مِتْراً)، وَقَدْ غَشَّاهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِالذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

٥ 5 وَغَطَّى الْجُدْرَانَ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ بِخَشَبِ السَّرْوِ وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، نَقَشَ عَلَيْهَا أَشْكَالَ نَخِيلٍ وَسَلاسِلَ.

And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

٦ 6 وَجَمَّلَ الْهَيْكَلَ فَرَصَّعَهُ بِحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ، أَمَّا الذَّهَبُ الْمُسْتَخْدَمُ فَكَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبِ فَرَوَايِمَ.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

٧ 7 وَغَشَّى أَخْشَابَ الْبَيْتِ وَعَتَبَاتِهِ وَحَوَائِطَهُ وَمَصَارِيعَهُ بِذَهَبٍ وَنَقَشَ كَرُوبِيمَ عَلَى الْجُدْرَانِ.

He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.

٨ 8 وَشَيَّدَ مِحْرَابَ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ فَكَانَ طُولُهُ مُسَاوِياً لِعَرْضِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَكَانَ مُرَبَّعَ الشَّكْلِ، طُولُهُ يُعَادِلُ عَرْضَهُ، عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً فِي عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (أَيْ نَحْوُ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ فِي عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَغَشَّاهُ بِسِتِّ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ وَاحِدٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ وَزْنُ مَسَامِيرِ الذَّهَبِ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ جِرَامٍ)، وَغَشَّى أَجْزَاءَهُ الْعُلْيَا بِالذَّهَبِ.

And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

١٠ 10 وَصَاغَ سُلَيْمَانُ كَرُوبَيْنِ (وَهُمَا تِمْثَالانِ لِمَلاكَيْنِ) غَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ، وَوَضَعَهُمَا فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ.

And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

١١ 11 وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ جَنَاحٍ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ الكَرُوبَيْنِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). وَمَسَّ طَرَفُ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبيِمِ الْخَارِجِيِّ جِدَارَ الْهَيْكَلِ أَمَّا طَرَفُهُ الدَّاخِلِيُّ فَتَلامَسَ مَعَ طَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الآخَرِ.

And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

١٢ 12 وَكَذَلِكَ مَسَّ طَرَفُ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الثَّانِي الْخَارِجِيِّ جِدَارَ الْهَيْكَلِ أَمَّا طَرَفُ الْجَنَاحِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ فَتَلامَسَ مَعَ طَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الأَوَّلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ.

And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ هَذَانِ الكَرُوبَانِ مُنْتَصِبَيْنِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمَا فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ المِحْرَابِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى امْتِدَادِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

١٤ 14 وَصَنَعَ الْحِجَابَ (الْفَاصِلَ بَيْنَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَبَقِيَّةِ الْهَيْكَلِ) مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقِ اللَّوْنِ وَبَنَفْسَجِيٍّ وَأَحْمَرَ وَكَتَّانٍ، طُرِّزَ عَلَيْهِ رَسْمُ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.

١٥ 15 وَأَقَامَ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ عَمُودَيْنِ، طُولُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلاثُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمَا تَاجَيْنِ، ارْتِفَاعُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

١٦ 16 وَصَنَعَ سَلاسِلَ مَضْفُورَةً مُمَاثِلَةً لِسَلاسِلِ الْمِحْرَابِ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى رَأْسَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ، كَمَا صَنَعَ مِئَةَ رُمَّانَةٍ عَلَّقَهَا بِالسَّلاسِلِ.

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

١٧ 17 وَنَصَبَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَاحِداً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَدَعَاهُ يَاكِينَ، وَالآخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَدَعاهُ بُوعَزَ.

And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
