歷代志下 3
1 所羅門就在耶路撒冷、耶和華向他父大衛顯現的摩利亞山上，就是耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上、大衛所指定的地方預備好了，開工建造耶和華的殿。
Then Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had provided—the former threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 所羅門作王第四年二月初二日開工建造。
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in his fourth year as king.
3 所羅門建築上帝殿的根基，乃是這樣：長六十肘，寬二十肘，都按着古時的尺寸。
The size of the foundation Solomon laid for the Temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, (according to the old cubit measurement).
4 殿前的廊子長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，高一百二十肘；裏面貼上精金。
The front porch that ran across the width of the Temple was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He covered the inside of the porch with pure gold.
5 大殿的牆都用松木板遮蔽，又貼了精金，上面雕刻棕樹和鍊子；
He paneled the main room with cypress overlaid with fine gold, with images of palm trees and chains.
6 又用寶石裝飾殿牆，使殿華美；所用的金子都是巴瓦音的金子。
He decorated the Temple with beautiful gems, and with gold he imported from Parvaim.
7 又用金子貼殿和殿的棟樑、門檻、牆壁、門扇；牆上雕刻基路伯。
He covered the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors of the Temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 又建造至聖所，長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，寬也是二十肘；貼上精金，共用金子六百他連得。
He made the room of the Most Holy Place to correspond with the width of the Temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He covered the interior with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 金釘重五十舍客勒。樓房都貼上金子。
The weight of the nails was one shekel for every fifty shekels of gold.
10 在至聖所按造像的法子造兩個基路伯，用金子包裹。
He made for the Most Holy Place two wooden cherubim covered with gold.
11 兩個基路伯的翅膀共長二十肘。這基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘，挨着殿這邊的牆；那一個翅膀也長五肘，與那基路伯翅膀相接。
The wingspan of the cherubim together was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the second cherub.
12 那基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘，挨着殿那邊的牆；那一個翅膀也長五肘，與這基路伯的翅膀相接。
In similar fashion, one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the first cherub.
13 兩個基路伯張開翅膀，共長二十肘，面向外殿而立。
So the wingspan of these cherubim together was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 又用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線和細麻織幔子，在其上繡出基路伯來。
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson embroidery on fine linen, with images of cherubim on it.
15 在殿前造了兩根柱子，高三十五肘；每柱頂高五肘。
He made two columns for the front of the Temple, thirty-five cubits, each having a capital five cubits high.
16 又照聖所內鍊子的樣式做鍊子，安在柱頂上；又做一百石榴，安在鍊子上。
He made chains like in the Most Holy Place and he placed them on top of the columns. He also made one hundred ornamental pomegranates and attached them to each chain.
17 將兩根柱子立在殿前，一根在右邊，一根在左邊；右邊的起名叫雅斤，左邊的起名叫波阿斯。
He set up the columns in front of the Temple, one on the south, and one on the north. The column on the south he named Jachin, and the column on the north he named Boaz.
