2 Chronicles 3

1 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.

١ وَشَرَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي جَبَلِ ٱلْمُرِيَّا حَيْثُ تَرَاءَى لِدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، حَيْثُ هَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ مَكَانًا فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ.

2 Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in his fourth year as king.

٢ وَشَرَعَ فِي ٱلْبِنَاءِ فِي ثَانِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ.

3 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).

٣ وَهَذِهِ أَسَّسَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ: ٱلطُّولُ بِٱلذِّرَاعِ عَلَى ٱلْقِيَاسِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱلْعَرْضُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.

4 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.

٤ وَٱلرِّواقُ ٱلَّذِي قُدَّامَ ٱلطُّولِ حَسَبَ عَرْضِ ٱلْبَيْتِ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، وَغَشَّاهُ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

5 He paneled the main room with cypress overlaid with fine gold, with images of palm trees and chains.

٥ وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ غَشَّاهُ بِخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ، غَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَخِيلًا وَسَلَاسِلَ.

6 He decorated the Temple with beautiful gems, and with gold he imported from Parvaim.

٦ وَرَصَّعَ ٱلْبَيْتَ بِحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ لِلْجَمَالِ. وَٱلذَّهَبُ ذَهَبُ فَرَوَايِمَ.

7 He covered the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors of the Temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.

٧ وَغَشَّى ٱلْبَيْتَ: أَخْشَابَهُ وَأَعْتَابَهُ وَحِيطَانَهُ وَمَصَارِيعَهُ بِذَهَبٍ، وَنَقَشَ كَرُوبِيمَ عَلَى ٱلْحِيطَانِ.

8 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.

٨ وَعَمِلَ بَيْتَ قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ، طُولُهُ حَسَبَ عَرْضِ ٱلْبَيْتِ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ جَيِّدٍ سِتِّ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ.

9 The weight of the nails was one shekel for every fifty shekels of gold.

٩ وَكَانَ وَزْنُ ٱلْمَسَامِيرِ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَغَشَّى ٱلْعَلَالِيَّ بِذَهَبٍ.

10 He made for the Most Holy Place two wooden cherubim covered with gold.

١٠ وَعَمِلَ فِي بَيْتِ قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ كَرُوبَيْنِ صَنَاعَةَ ٱلصِّيَاغَةِ، وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ.

11 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.

١١ وَأَجْنِحَةُ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ طُولُهَا عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، ٱلْجَنَاحُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَمَسُّ حَائِطَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَٱلْجَنَاحُ ٱلْآخَرُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَمَسُّ جَنَاحَ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ.

12 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.

١٢ وَجَنَاحُ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَمَسُّ حَائِطَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَٱلْجَنَاحُ ٱلْآخَرُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ يَتَّصِلُ بِجَنَاحِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ.

13 So the wingspan of these cherubim together was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.

١٣ وَأَجْنِحَةُ هَذَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ مُنْبَسِطَةٌ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَهُمَا وَاقِفَانِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمَا وَوَجْهُهُمَا إِلَى دَاخِلٍ.

14 He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson embroidery on fine linen, with images of cherubim on it.

١٤ وَعَمِلَ ٱلْحِجَابَ مِنْ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ وَأُرْجُوانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ وَكَتَّانٍ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ كَرُوبِيمَ.

15 He made two columns for the front of the Temple, thirty-five cubits, each having a capital five cubits high.

١٥ وَعَمِلَ أَمَامَ ٱلْبَيْتِ عَمُودَيْنِ، طُولُهُمَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱلتَّاجَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ.

16 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.

١٦ وَعَمِلَ سَلَاسِلَ كَمَا فِي ٱلْمِحْرَابِ وَجَعَلَهَا عَلَى رَأْسَيِ ٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ، وَعَمِلَ مِئَةَ رُمَّانَةٍ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي ٱلسَّلَاسِلِ.

17 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.

١٧ وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ أَمَامَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَاحِدًا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَوَاحِدًا عَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ، وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ «يَاكِينَ» وَٱسْمَ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ «بُوعَزَ».
