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。
And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
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。
For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon: the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 上面蓋上香柏木板；每行十五根柱子，共有四十五根。
And it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, that lay on forty and five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 窗戶有三排，三排窗戶彼此相對。
And there were beams in three rows; and light was over against light in three ranks.
5 門和窗戶都是方形；三層窗戶都彼此相對。
And all the doors with their posts were square in the frame; and light was over against light in three ranks.
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。
And he made the porch of pillars: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and thick beams before them.
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。
And he made the porch of the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
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 his house where he might dwell, in the other court, within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
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 were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.
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；
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 上面有按尺寸鑿好的貴重石頭和香柏木。
And above were costly stones, after the measure of hewn stones, and cedar-wood.
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
And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams, like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the court of the porch of the house.
13 撒羅滿王派人由提洛將希蘭接來。
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of 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 of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought 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。
Thus he fashioned the two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high each; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it about; and so the other pillar.
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。
And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
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。
He also made nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the other 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。
And he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pomegranates; and so did he for the other capital.
19 柱子頂端上的柱頭，刻有百合花形像，四肘高。
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.
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。
And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network; and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon 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：
And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
22 這樣，柱子的工作就算完成了。銅海
And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 他又鑄造了一座銅海，圓形，直徑十肘，高五肘，周徑三十肘。
And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
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。
And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about; the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
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。
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
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
And it was a hand-breadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held two thousand baths.
27 又鑄造了十個銅盆座，每個長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。
And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
28 盆座的造法是這樣：盆座有鑲板，鑲板裝入框架內，
And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the stays;
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 borders that were between the stays were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the stays it was in like manner above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging 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。
And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters; beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
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。
And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit high; and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings; and their borders were foursquare, 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。
And the four wheels were underneath the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
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。
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel; their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
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。
And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base; the undersetters thereof were of one piece with the base itself.
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。
And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of one piece therewith.
36 鑲板壁上刻有革魯賓、獅子和棕樹；四周空處另刻有花紋。
And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
37 十個盆座都是這樣做的：鑄法、尺寸和式樣完全相同。
After this manner he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
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。
And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
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
And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
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：
And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought 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, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of 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，
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;
43 盆座十個，放在座上的盆子十個，
and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
44 銅海一個，銅海下的銅牛十二隻，
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under 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, and the shovels, and the basins; even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.
46 是他在約旦平原，穌苛特與匝爾堂之間，用膠泥模鑄成的。
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground 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。
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.
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，
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;
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。
and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the Sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
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。
and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, and the fire-pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple, of gold.
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。
Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
