列王紀上 7
1 [建造宮室]此後，撒羅滿為自己建造宮室，十三年方纔完成。
Solomon, however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace.
2 他建造的，有黎巴嫩林宮，長一百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘；有三行香柏木柱子，柱子上端有香柏木托梁。
He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams.
3 上面蓋上香柏木板；每行十五根柱子，共有四十五根。
The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
4 窗戶有三排，三排窗戶彼此相對。
There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
5 門和窗戶都是方形；三層窗戶都彼此相對。
All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
6 又造了有圓柱的大廳，長五十肘，寬三十肘；大廳前面另有一個廊子，廊子前面有柱子和頂蓋。
Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
7 他又造了一廳，中間設有審判的座位，在那裏審案；從地面到梁，都是用香柏木舖蓋的。
In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
8 廳後的另一院內，有君王住的宮室，建築式樣，完全與審判廳相同；為君王所娶的法郎公主，也建造了與審判廳相同的宮室。
And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
9 從外院直到大院的這一切建築，從地基到屋頂，都是用按尺寸鑿好，用鋸內外鋸平的寶貴石頭建造的。
All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard.
10 地基也都是用貴重巨大的石頭砌成的，有的十肘長，有的八肘長；
The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.
11 上面有按尺寸鑿好的貴重石頭和香柏木。
Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
12 大院四周的牆有三層鑿好的石頭和一層香柏木板；上主的殿宇的內院和殿廊，都包圍在內。兩根銅柱
The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD.
13 撒羅滿王派人由提洛將希蘭接來。
Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.
14 希蘭是納斐塔里支派一個寡婦的兒子，他父親是提洛的一個銅匠；他多才多藝，會做一切銅工。他來到撒羅滿前，為他做一切工作，
He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.
15 鑄了兩根銅柱：一根高十八肘，周徑十二肘，四指厚，中空；另一根也是這樣。
He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 製了兩個銅鑄的智頭，安在柱子頂端：一個柱頭五肘，另一個柱頭也高五肘。
He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.
17 他又製了兩個銅網，為遮護柱子頂端的柱頭：這一個柱頭有一個銅網，另一個柱頭也有一個銅網。
For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
18 在網子周圍，又製了兩行石榴，遮住柱頭：兩個柱頭都是如此。
Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
19 柱子頂端上的柱頭，刻有百合花形像，四肘高。
And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
20 兩根柱子頂端上的柱頭突起處，網子後面，各有石榴二百個，分行圍繞著。
On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21 他將兩根柱子豎立在殿廊的前面：給立在右邊的柱子，起名叫雅津；給立在左邊的柱子，起名叫波阿次：
Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
22 這樣，柱子的工作就算完成了。銅海
And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
23 他又鑄造了一座銅海，圓形，直徑十肘，高五肘，周徑三十肘。
He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
24 銅海邊緣下面周圍有匏瓜，每肘十個，四面圍繞著銅海；匏瓜分成兩行，是鑄銅海時鑄上去的。
Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
25 銅海安放在十二隻銅牛上；三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東。銅海安放在牛背上，牛尾朝裏。
The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
26 銅海厚一掌，邊像杯邊，形似百合花，可容兩千「巴特。」盆與盆座
It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.
27 又鑄造了十個銅盆座，每個長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。
In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28 盆座的造法是這樣：盆座有鑲板，鑲板裝入框架內，
This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,
29 在框架中間的鑲板上刻有獅子、牛和革魯賓的形像，在框架上也有雕刻；獅子和牛的形像下，刻有花紋浮雕。
and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
30 每個盆座有四個銅輪和銅軸；盆底有四腳作支柱，支柱是鑄成的；每邊都刻有花紋。
Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.
31 盆座的口，從座底至口邊高一肘半；口成圓形，為安放銅盆之用；在口的邊緣上也有雕刻；盆座的鑲板是四方形的，而不是圓形的。
The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
32 四個輪子是在鑲板之下，輪軸與座底相接；輪子高一肘半。
There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.
33 輪子的製法和車輪的製法一樣，輪軸、輪輞、輪輻和輪轂，都是鑄成的。
The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
34 每個盆座有四根支柱支持四角，支柱與盆座是一塊鑄成的。
Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.
35 盆座頂上有一個圓架，高半肘；在座頂上有柄，鑲板與座是一塊鑄成的。
At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.
36 鑲板壁上刻有革魯賓、獅子和棕樹；四周空處另刻有花紋。
He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.
37 十個盆座都是這樣做的：鑄法、尺寸和式樣完全相同。
In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
38 又製了十個銅盆，每個銅盆可容四十「巴特；」每個銅盆高四肘；十個銅盆座上，每個安放一個銅盆。
He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
39 他把盆座，五個放在殿的右邊，五個放在殿的左邊；至於銅海，他放在殿右靠東南方。希蘭所製物品
He set five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north, and he put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
40 希蘭又製造了鍋、鏟和盤：這樣，希蘭為撒羅滿作完了上主殿宇的一切工作：
Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:
41 計有柱子兩根，柱子頂端球形的柱頭兩個，遮護柱子頂端球形柱頭的網子兩個，
the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
42 兩個網子上的石榴四百個，─每個網子上有兩行石榴，為遮護柱子頂端的兩個球形柱頭，
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
43 盆座十個，放在座上的盆子十個，
the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;
44 銅海一個，銅海下的銅牛十二隻，
the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
45 鍋鏟和盤：以上一切器皿，都是希蘭給撒羅滿用光滑的銅，為上主的殿製造的，
and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.
46 是他在約旦平原，穌苛特與匝爾堂之間，用膠泥模鑄成的。
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 撒羅滿沒有秤量這一切器皿，因為銅太多，重量無法計算。
Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
48 以後撒羅滿又製造了上主殿內的一切用具：就是金祭壇，供餅的金桌，
Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
49 內殿前的燈臺，五個在右邊，五個在左邊，都是純金的；還有花蕊、燈盞、燭剪，也是金的。
the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;
50 又有盆、刀、碗、杯、火盤，都是純金的；還有內殿既至聖所，和正殿的門樞，都是金的。
the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place ) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 撒羅滿就這樣完成了為上主的殿所作的一切工作。撒羅滿將他父親達味所奉獻的銀子、金子和器皿運了來，存放在上主殿宇的府庫內。
So all the work that King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
