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 children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the LORD’s house.
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 which King Solomon built for the LORD had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
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 porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4 又為殿作了窗戶，有窗框和窗櫺。
He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
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 wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
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 lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
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 house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
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 door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
9 殿造完了以後，又用香柏木梁和木板，蓋上了殿頂。
So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house 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 the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11 又上主的話傳於撒羅滿說﹕「
The LORD’s word 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，
“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
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
I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 撒羅滿建殿，終於完成。
So Solomon built the house 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 built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house 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 built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17 至聖所前的外殿，長四十肘。
In front of the temple sanctuary 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。
There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
19 殿堂內部設又內殿，為安放上主的約櫃。
He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of the LORD’s covenant 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，
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
21 放在內殿前，全都包上金。
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
22 整個殿宇都貼上金，貼滿了整個殿宇。
He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
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 of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
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。
Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other 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 other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 一個革魯賓高十肘，另一個革魯賓也是如此。
One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.
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。
He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28 兩個革魯賓全包上金。
He 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。
He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30 內殿和外殿的地板，都舖上金。
He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
31 內殿的門，是用橄欖木作的，門柱和門框，為五角形。
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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。
So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
33 外殿的門和門柱也是橄欖木作的，為四角形﹔
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
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。
and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
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 cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36 內院的牆，三層是用好的石頭，一層是用香柏木建造的。
He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
37 第四年，「齊夫」月，奠定了上主殿宇的基礎﹔
The foundation of the LORD’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month 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 the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
