列王紀上 7
1 所羅門為自己建造宮室，十三年方才造成；
But his own house was Solomon building thirteen years, and then he finished all his house.
2 又建造黎巴嫩林宮，長一百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘，有香柏木柱三行，柱上有香柏木柁樑。
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon: a hundred cubits was its length, and fifty cubits was its breadth, and thirty cubits was its height, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 其上以香柏木為蓋，每行柱子十五根，共有四十五根。
And it was covered with cedar above over the beams, that lay on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。
And there were window-spaces in three rows, and windows were opposite each other in three ranks.
5 所有的門框都是厚木見方的，有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。
And all the entrances and door-posts formed a square in shape: and windows were opposite windows in three ranks.
6 並建造有柱子的廊子，長五十肘，寬三十肘；在這廊前又有廊子，廊外有柱子和臺階。
And he made a porch of pillars: fifty cubits was its length, and thirty cubits its breadth; and the porch was before them; and the other pillars with an entablature before them.
7 又建造一廊，其中設立審判的座位，這廊從地到頂都用香柏木遮蔽。
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 廊後院內有所羅門住的宮室；工作與這工作相同。所羅門又為所娶法老的女兒建造一宮，做法與這廊子一樣。
And his house where he dwelt in another court within the porch, was of the like work: and Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken for wife, like unto this porch.
9 建造這一切所用的石頭都是寶貴的，是按着尺寸鑿成的，是用鋸裏外鋸齊的；從根基直到檐石，從外頭直到大院，都是如此。
All these were of heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, sawed with the saw inside and outside, even from the foundation unto the coping, and from the outside unto the great court.
10 根基是寶貴的大石頭，有長十肘的，有長八肘的；
And the foundation was of heavy stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 上面有香柏木和按着尺寸鑿成寶貴的石頭。
And above were heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, and cedars.
12 大院周圍有鑿成的石頭三層、香柏木一層，都照耶和華殿的內院和殿廊的樣式。
And the great court round about was of three rows of hewn stones, and one row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.
13 所羅門王差遣人往泰爾去，將戶蘭召了來。
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 他是拿弗他利支派中一個寡婦的兒子，他父親是泰爾人，作銅匠的。戶蘭滿有智慧、聰明、技能，善於各樣銅作。他來到所羅門王那裏，做王一切所要做的。
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in copper: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to make every work in copper; and he came to king Solomon, and did all his work.
15 他製造兩根銅柱，每根高十八肘，圍十二肘；
And he cast two pillars of copper, eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar; and a line of twelve cubits did encompass the second pillar.
16 又用銅鑄了兩個柱頂安在柱上，各高五肘。
And he made two capitals, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten copper; five cubits was the height of the one capital, and five cubits was the height of the other capital;
17 柱頂上有裝修的網子和擰成的鍊索，每頂七個。
And 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 網子周圍有兩行石榴遮蓋柱頂，兩個柱頂都是如此。
And he made the pillars, so that two rows of pomegranates were round about upon the one net-work, to cover the capitals that were upon the top: and the same he made for the other capital.
19 廊子的柱頂徑四肘，刻着百合花。
And the capitals, that were upon the top of the pillars, furnished with lily-work, [as] those in the porch, were four cubits.
20 兩柱頂的鼓肚上挨着網子，各有兩行石榴環繞，兩行共有二百。
And the capitals upon the two pillars rose also above, close by the rounding which was on the side of the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about, upon either capital.
21 他將兩根柱子立在殿廊前頭：右邊立一根，起名叫雅斤；左邊立一根，起名叫波阿斯。
And he set up the pillars for the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Yachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
22 在柱頂上刻着百合花。這樣，造柱子的工就完畢了。
And upon the top of the pillars there was lily-work: and so was finished the work of the pillars.
23 他又鑄一個銅海，樣式是圓的，高五肘，徑十肘，圍三十肘。
And he made the molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other, rounded all about, and it was five cubits in height: and a line of thirty cubits did encompass it round about.
24 在海邊之下，周圍有野瓜的樣式；每肘十瓜，共有兩行，是鑄海的時候鑄上的。
And colocynth-shaped knobs were under its brim round about encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea round about: the colocynths were in two rows, and were cast [with it] when it was cast.
25 有十二隻銅牛馱海：三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東；海在牛上，牛尾都向內。
It was standing 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 resting above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，又如百合花，可容二千罷特。
And its thickness was a hand's breadth, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with lily-buds: it could contain two thousand baths.
27 他用銅製造十個盆座，每座長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。
And he made ten bases of copper: four cubits was the length of each one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.
28 座的造法是這樣：四面都有心子，心子在邊子當中，
And this was the workmanship of the bases: They had borders, and the borders were between the corner ledges;
29 心子上有獅子和牛，並基路伯；邊上有小座，獅子和牛以下有垂下的瓔珞。
And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the corner ledges it was thus also above; and likewise beneath the lions and oxen were pendant wreaths of plated work.
30 每盆座有四個銅輪和銅軸。小座的四角上在盆以下，有鑄成的盆架，其旁都有瓔珞。
And every base had four copper wheels, and axles of copper; and its four corners had undersetters; under the laver were the undersetters cast on; at the side of each were pendants.
31 小座高一肘，口是圓的，彷彿座的樣式，徑一肘半，在口上有雕工，心子是方的，不是圓的。
And its mouth was within the capital and above a cubit in height; but the mouth of this was rounded after the work of the base, a cubit and a half cubit; and also upon its mouth were carvings; and their borders were square, not rounded.
32 四個輪子在心子以下，輪軸與座相連，每輪高一肘半。
And the four wheels were under the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of each one wheel was a cubit and a half cubit.
33 輪的樣式如同車輪；軸、輞、輻、轂都是鑄的。
And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot-wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all cast.
34 每座四角上都有盆架，是與座一同鑄成的。
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of each one base; the undersetters were of one piece with the base itself.
35 座上有圓架，高半肘；座上有撐子和心子，是與座一同鑄的。
And on the top of the base was a rounded compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base were its side-ledges; and its borders were of one piece with itself.
36 在撐子和心子上刻着基路伯、獅子，和棕樹，周圍有瓔珞。
And he engraved on the plates of its side-ledges and on its borders, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees: and in the open space of every one were pendant wreaths round about.
37 十個盆座都是這樣，鑄法、尺寸、樣式相同。
After this manner did he make the ten bases: one casting, one measure, one form, was there for all of them.
38 又用銅製造十個盆，每盆可容四十罷特。盆徑四肘，在那十座上，每座安設一盆。
Then made he ten lavers of copper; forty baths could each one laver contain; every laver was four cubits: each one laver was upon each one base of the ten bases.
39 五個安在殿門的右邊，五個放在殿門的左邊；又將海放在殿門的右旁，就是南邊。
And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and the sea he set on the right side of the house eastward opposite the south.
40 戶蘭又造了盆、鏟子，和盤子。這樣，他為所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工。
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins; so Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord.
41 所造的就是：兩根柱子和柱上兩個如球的頂；並兩個蓋柱頂的網子；
The two pillars, and the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two net-works, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals which were upon the top of the pillars;
42 和四百石榴，安在兩個網子上，每網兩行，蓋着兩個柱上如球的頂；
And the four hundred pomegranates for the two net-works, two rows of pomegranates for each one net-work, to cover the two bowl-shaped, capitals that were upon the front of the pillars;
43 十個座和其上的十個盆；
And the ten bases, and the ten lavers upon the bases;
44 海和海下的十二隻牛；
And the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 盆、鏟子、盤子。這一切都是戶蘭給所羅門王用光亮的銅為耶和華的殿造成的，
And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; and all these vessels, which Hiram had made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished copper.
46 是遵王命在約旦平原、疏割和撒拉但中間藉膠泥鑄成的。
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 這一切所羅門都沒有過秤；因為甚多，銅的輕重也無法可查。
And Solomon set down all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceedingly many: the weight of the copper was not inquired into.
48 所羅門又造耶和華殿裏的金壇和陳設餅的金桌子；
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: The altar of gold, and the table whereupon the show-bread was, of gold,
49 內殿前的精金燈臺：右邊五個，左邊五個，並其上的金花、燈盞、蠟剪，
And the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the debir, of pure gold, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 與精金的杯、盤、鑷子、調羹、火鼎，以及至聖所、內殿的門樞，和外殿的門樞。
And the bowls, and the knives, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges, for the doors of the inner house, for the holy of holies, for the doors of the house, and for the temple, [were] of gold.
51 所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工，就把他父大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿都帶來放在耶和華殿的府庫裏。
And so was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord: and Solomon brought in the things sanctified by David his father, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [and] he placed [these] in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
