列王紀上 6
1 [建造殿宇]以色列子民出離埃及地後四百八十年，撒羅滿作以色列王第四年「齊夫」月，【即二月，】開始建造上主的殿。
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, in the month of Ziv, the second month of the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, he began to build the house of the LORD.
2 撒羅滿王為上主所建立的殿，長六十肘，寬二十肘，高三十肘。
The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
3 殿堂前的門廊長二十肘，寬與殿的寬度相等，共十肘，在殿堂之前。
The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits long, extending across the width of the temple and projecting out ten cubits in front of the temple.
4 又為殿作了窗戶，有窗框和窗櫺。
He also had narrow windows framed high in the temple.
5 緊靠殿墻，即圍著外殿和內殿的牆，周圍建造了分層廂房﹕
Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms.
6 下層寬五肘，中層寬六肘，第三層寬七肘﹔使殿周圍對面的牆突出，免得梁木插入殿牆內。
The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.
7 建造殿宇時，始終是採用鑿好了的石頭，所以在建殿時，全聽不到槌子、斧子及任何鐵器的響聲。
The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
8 廂房最下層的門，設在殿的右邊，人可從螺旋梯上到中層，由中層上到第三層。
The entrance to the bottom floor was on the south side of the temple. A stairway led up to the middle level, and from there to the third floor.
9 殿造完了以後，又用香柏木梁和木板，蓋上了殿頂。
So Solomon built the temple and finished it, roofing it with beams and planks of cedar.
10 殿的四周建立了廂房，每層高五肘，用香柏木梁使之與殿牆相連接。
He built chambers all along the temple, each five cubits high and attached to the temple with beams of cedar.
11 又上主的話傳於撒羅滿說﹕「
Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
12 關於你正在進行建造的這殿，....如果你履行我的法律，遵守我的規例，按照我的一切命令行事，我必對你實踐我向你父親達味所說的話，
“As for this temple you are building, if you walk in My statutes, carry out My ordinances, and keep all My commandments by walking in them, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.
13 必常住在以色列子民中，永不拋棄我的百姓以色列。」聖殿內部
And I will dwell among the Israelites and will not abandon My people Israel.”
14 撒羅滿建殿，終於完成。
So Solomon built the temple and finished it.
15 殿內的牆壁全舖上香柏木板，從殿的地面到天花板的櫞、梁，全蓋上木板﹔殿內地面都舖上柏木板。
He lined the interior walls with cedar paneling from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and he covered the floor with cypress boards.
16 內殿即至聖所，長二十肘，從地板到天花板都概上香柏木板。
He partitioned off the twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
17 至聖所前的外殿，長四十肘。
And the main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.
18 殿內的香柏木板上，都刻有匏瓜和初開的花﹕全部都是香柏木，看不到一塊石頭。
The cedar paneling inside the temple was carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; not a stone could be seen.
19 殿堂內部設又內殿，為安放上主的約櫃。
Solomon also prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
20 內殿長二十肘，寬二十肘，高二十肘，全都貼上純金﹔他又用香柏木做了一個祭壇，
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.
21 放在內殿前，全都包上金。
So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.
22 整個殿宇都貼上金，貼滿了整個殿宇。
So he overlaid with gold the whole interior of the temple, until everything was completely finished. He also overlaid with gold the entire altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
23 內殿裏又用橄欖木作了兩個革魯賓，每個高十肘。
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim, each ten cubits high, out of olive wood.
24 革魯賓的一個翅膀長五肘，革魯賓的另一個翅膀也長五肘，從一個翅膀尖到另一個翅膀尖，共十肘。
One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing was five cubits long as well. So the full wingspan was ten cubits.
25 另一個革魯賓也是十肘兩個革魯賓，有一樣的尺寸，有一樣的形狀。
The second cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same size and shape,
26 一個革魯賓高十肘，另一個革魯賓也是如此。
and the height of each cherub was ten cubits.
27 兩個革魯賓都安放在內殿，革魯賓的翅膀是伸開的﹕這個革魯賓的一個翅膀靠著這邊的牆，那個革魯賓的一個翅膀靠著那邊的牆，裏面的兩個翅膀，在殿中央相接。
And he placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple. Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.
28 兩個革魯賓全包上金。
He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 內殿與外殿四周牆壁，都刻有革魯賓、棕樹和花朵初開的形狀。
Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
30 內殿和外殿的地板，都舖上金。
And he overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
31 內殿的門，是用橄欖木作的，門柱和門框，為五角形。
For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.
32 橄欖木的兩門扇上，刻有革魯賓、棕樹和花朵初開的形像。花上包金，革魯賓和棕樹上貼金。
The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.
33 外殿的門和門柱也是橄欖木作的，為四角形﹔
In the same way he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the sanctuary entrance.
34 李扇門都是用柏木作的﹕這一扇有兩葉可以摺疊，那一扇也有兩葉可以摺疊。
The two doors were made of cypress wood, and each had two folding panels.
35 門上刻有革魯賓、棕樹和花朵初開的形像，雕刻以後，全貼上金。
He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold, hammered evenly over the carvings.
36 內院的牆，三層是用好的石頭，一層是用香柏木建造的。
Solomon built the inner courtyard with three rows of dressed stone and one row of trimmed cedar beams.
37 第四年，「齊夫」月，奠定了上主殿宇的基礎﹔
The foundation of the house of the LORD was laid in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in the month of Ziv.
38 第十一年，「步耳」月【即八月，】上主的殿各部分全依照計劃完成﹔建殿的工作共費時七年。
In his eleventh year and eighth month, the month of Bul, the temple was finished in every detail and according to every specification. So he built the temple in seven years.
