列王紀上 6
1 以色列人出埃及地後四百八十年，所羅門作以色列王第四年西弗月，就是二月，開工建造耶和華的殿。
So Solomon began to build the temple of Yahweh. This happened in the 480th year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month.
2 所羅門王為耶和華所建的殿，長六十肘，寬二十肘，高三十肘。
The temple that King Solomon built for Yahweh was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
3 殿前的廊子長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，闊十肘；
The portico in front of the temple's main hall was twenty cubits in length, equal to the width of the temple, and ten cubits deep in front of the temple.
4 又為殿做了嚴緊的窗櫺。
For the house he made windows with frames that made them more narrow at the outside than on the inside.
5 靠着殿牆，圍着外殿內殿，造了三層旁屋；
Against the walls of the main chamber he built rooms around it, around both the outer room and the inner room. He built rooms all around the sides.
6 下層寬五肘，中層寬六肘，上層寬七肘。殿外旁屋的樑木擱在殿牆坎上，免得插入殿牆。
The lowest story was five cubits wide, 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 so that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.
7 建殿是用山中鑿成的石頭。建殿的時候，鎚子、斧子，和別樣鐵器的響聲都沒有聽見。
The house was built of stones prepared at the quarry. No hammer, ax, or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 在殿右邊當中的旁屋有門，門內有旋螺的樓梯，可以上到第二層，從第二層可以上到第三層。
On the south side of the temple there was an entrance at the ground level, then one went up by stairs to the middle level, and from the middle to the third level.
9 所羅門建殿，安置香柏木的棟樑，又用香柏木板遮蓋。
So Solomon built the temple and finished it; he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10 靠着殿所造的旁屋，每層高五肘，香柏木的棟樑擱在殿牆坎上。
He built the side rooms against the inner chambers of the temple, each side five cubits high; they were joined to the house with timbers of cedar.
11 耶和華的話臨到所羅門說：
The word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,
12 「論到你所建的這殿，你若遵行我的律例，謹守我的典章，遵從我的一切誡命，我必向你應驗我所應許你父親大衛的話。
“Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in my statutes and do justice, keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will confirm my promise with you that I had made to David your father.
13 我必住在以色列人中間，並不丟棄我民以色列。」
I will live among the people of Israel and will not forsake them.”
14 所羅門建造殿宇。
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 殿裏面用香柏木板貼牆，從地到棚頂都用木板遮蔽，又用松木板鋪地。
Then he built the interior walls of the house with boards of cedar. From the floor of the house to the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood, and he covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
16 內殿，就是至聖所，長二十肘，從地到棚頂用香柏木板遮蔽。
He built twenty cubits onto the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this room to be the inner room, the most holy place.
17 內殿前的外殿，長四十肘。
The main hall, that is, the holy place that was in front of the most holy place, was forty cubits long.
18 殿裏一點石頭都不顯露，一概用香柏木遮蔽；上面刻着野瓜和初開的花。
There was cedar inside the house, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers. All was cedar inside. No stonework was visible on the inside.
19 殿裏預備了內殿，好安放耶和華的約櫃。
Solomon prepared the inner room inside the house in order to place the ark of the covenant of Yahweh there.
20 內殿長二十肘，寬二十肘，高二十肘，牆面都貼上精金；又用香柏木做壇，包上精金。
The inner room was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. Solomon overlaid the walls with pure gold and covered the altar with cedar wood.
21 所羅門用精金貼了殿內的牆，又用金鍊子掛在內殿前門扇，用金包裹。
Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he placed chains of gold across the front of the inner room, and overlaid the front with gold.
22 全殿都貼上金子，直到貼完；內殿前的壇，也都用金包裹。
He overlaid the entire interior with gold until all the temple was finished. He also overlaid with gold the whole altar that belonged to the inner room.
23 他用橄欖木做兩個基路伯，各高十肘，安在內殿。
Solomon made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high, for the inner room.
24 這一個基路伯有兩個翅膀，各長五肘，從這翅膀尖到那翅膀尖共有十肘；
One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and its other wing was also five cubits long. So from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other there was a distance of ten cubits.
25 那一個基路伯的兩個翅膀也是十肘，兩個基路伯的尺寸、形像都是一樣。
The other cherub also had a wingspan ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of the same dimensions and shape.
26 這基路伯高十肘，那基路伯也是如此。
The height of one cherub was ten cubits and the other cherub was the same.
27 他將兩個基路伯安在內殿裏；基路伯的翅膀是張開的，這基路伯的一個翅膀挨着這邊的牆，那基路伯的一個翅膀挨着那邊的牆，裏邊的兩個翅膀在殿中間彼此相接；
Solomon placed the cherubim in the innermost room. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out so that the wing of one touched one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. Their wings touched one another in the middle of the most holy place.
28 又用金子包裹二基路伯。
Solomon overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 內殿、外殿周圍的牆上都刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花。
He carved all the walls of the house around about with figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, in the outer and inner rooms.
30 內殿、外殿的地板都貼上金子。
Solomon overlaid the floor of the house with gold, in both the outer and inner rooms.
31 又用橄欖木製造內殿的門扇、門楣、門框；門口有牆的五分之一。
Solomon made doors of olivewood for the entrance to the inner room. The lintel and doorposts had five indented sections.
32 在橄欖木做的兩門扇上刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花，都貼上金子。
So he made two doors of olivewood, and he made on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and he spread the gold on the cherubim and palm trees.
33 又用橄欖木製造外殿的門框，門口有牆的四分之一。
In this way, Solomon also made for the temple entrance doorposts of olive wood having four indented sections
34 用松木做門兩扇。這扇分兩扇，是摺疊的；那扇分兩扇，也是摺疊的。
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 上面刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花，都用金子貼了。
He carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he evenly overlaid gold on the carved work.
36 他又用鑿成的石頭三層、香柏木一層建築內院。
He built the inner courtyard with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.
37 所羅門 在位第四年西弗月，立了耶和華殿的根基。
The foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.
38 到十一年布勒月，就是八月，殿和一切屬殿的都按着樣式造成。他建殿的工夫共有七年。
In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts and conforming to all its specifications. Solomon took seven years to build the temple.
