1 Kings 6

1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

١ وَعِنْدَمَا بَدَأَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي، شَهْرِ زِيُو (آيَارَ – مَايُو) مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِتَوَلِّيهِ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَانَ قَدِ انْقَضَى عَلَى خُرُوجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانُونَ عَاماً.

2 The house which king Solomon built for the LORD, its length was one hundred three feet and four inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches.

٢ وَكَانَ طُولُ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي شَيَّدَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِلرَّبِّ سِتِّيِنَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلاثِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَةِ مِتْراً)

3 The porch before the temple of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches was its length, according to the breadth of the house. Seventeen feet and three inches was its breadth before the house.

٣ وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ شُرْفَةٌ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ طُولُهَا عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَعَرْضُهَا عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)

4 For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.

٤ وَصَنَعَ لِلْهَيْكَلِ نَوَافِذَ مَسْقُوفَةً مُشَبَّكَةً ضَيِّقَةً.

5 Against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side-rooms all around.

٥ وَشَيَّدَ عَلَى جَوَانِبِ جُدْرَانِ الْقَاعَةِ الرَّئِيسِيَّةِ وَالْمِحْرَابِ بِنَاءً ذَا طَوَابِقَ ثَلاثَةٍ، مُحِيطاً بِالْهَيْكَلِ جَعَلَهُ حُجُرَاتٍ إِضَافِيَّةً.

6 The lowest story was eight feet and seven inches broad, and the middle was ten feet and four inches broad, and the third was twelve feet and one inch broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.

٦ وَكَانَ عَرْضُ الطَّبَقَةِ الأُولَى خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُ الطَّبَقَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارِ)، وَعَرْضُ الطَّبَقَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ سَبْعَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). وَكَانَتِ الْحُجُرَاتِ مُتَّصِلَةً بِجُدْرَانِ الهَيْكَلِ بِعَوَارِضَ مُرْتَكِزَةٍ عَلَى كُتَلٍ خَشَبِيَّةٍ مُثَبَّتَةٍ خَارِجَ الْجُدْرَانِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي بَاطِنِ الْجُدْرَانِ نَفْسِهَا.

7 The house, when it was in building, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

٧ وَتَمَّ بِنَاءُ الْهَيْكَلِ بِحِجَارَةٍ صَحِيحَةٍ، اقْتَلَعَهَا الْعُمَّالُ وَنَحَتُوهَا فِي مَقَالِعِهَا، فَلَمْ يُسْمَعْ فِي الهَيْكَلِ عِنْدَ بِنَائِهِ صَوْتُ مِنْحَتٍ أَوْ مِعْوَلٍ أَوْ أَيِّ أَدَاةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ.

8 And the door for the lowest side-rooms was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.

٨ وَكَانَ مَدْخَلُ الطَّابِقِ الأَسْفَلِ يَقُودُ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الأَيْمَنِ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَمِنْهُ يَصْعَدُونَ بِدَرَجٍ يُفْضِي إِلَى الطَّابِقَيْنِ الثَّانِي والثَّالِثِ.

9 So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.

٩ وَبَعْدَ أَنْ أَكْمَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنَاءَ الهَيْكَلِ كَسَا سَقْفَهُ بِعَوَارِضَ وَأَلْوَاحٍ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

10 He built the stories against all the house, each eight feet and seven inches high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

١٠ وَكَانَ ارْتِفَاعُ الْحُجُرَاتِ الْمُلْحَقَةِ بِالْهَيْكَلِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَقَدْ ثَبَّتَهَا بِالْهَيْكَلِ بِعَوَارِضَ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

11 The word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

١١ وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بِشَأْنِ الْهَيْكَلِ قَائِلاً:

12 "Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.

١٢ «أَمَّا مَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِهَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي شَيَّدْتَهُ، إِنْ سَلَكْتَ فِي فَرَائِضِي وَطَبَّقْتَ أَحْكَامِي وَأَطَعْتَ وَصَايَايَ، وَمَارَسْتَهَا فَإِنَّنِي أُحَقِّقُ وُعُودِي الَّتِي وَعَدْتُ بِها دَاوُدَ أَبَاكَ

13 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."

١٣ وَأُقِيمُ وَسَطَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا أَتَخَلَّى عَنْهُ».

14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

١٤ وَهَكَذَا شَيَّدَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْهَيْكَلَ وَأَكْمَلَهُ،

15 He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.

١٥ وَكُسِيَتْ جُدْرَانُ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ، مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِلَى السَّقْفِ بِعَوَارِضَ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ، وَغُطِّيَتْ أَرْضِيَّتُهُ بِخَشَبِ السَّرْوِ،

16 He built thirty-four feet and five inches on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the beams, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, the most holy place.

١٦ وَاقْتَطَعَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) مِنْ مُؤَخَّرَةِ الْهَيْكَل بَنَى فِيهَا الْمِحْرَابَ، أَيْ قُدْسَ الأَقْدَاسِ بَعْدَ أَنْ بَنَى جُدْرَاناً دَاخِلِيَّةً مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِلَى الْحِيطَانِ بِعَوَارِضَ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

17 In front of the temple sanctuary was sixty-eight feet and eleven inches.

١٧ وَامْتَدَّ بَاقِي الهَيْكَلِ أَمَامَ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ عَلَى طُولِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ مِتْراً).

18 And the inside of the house was cedar, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

١٨ وَنُقِشَتْ عَلَى أَلْوَاحِ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ الَّتِي غَطَّتِ الْجُدْرَانَ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ أَشْكَالُ يَقْطِينٍ، وَبَرَاعِمِ زُهُورٍ مُتَفَتِّحَةٍ. وَكَانَ الْبِنَاءُ الدَّاخِلِيُّ مَصْنُوعاً كُلُّهُ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ فَلَمْ يَظْهَرْ فِيهِ حَجَرٌ.

19 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

١٩ وَأَعَدَّ سُلَيْمَانُ مِحْرَاباً فِي وَسَطِ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ لِيَضَعَ فِيهِ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ.

20 And before the sanctuary was thirty-four feet and five inches in length, and thirty-four feet and five inches in breadth, and thirty-four feet and five inches in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold. And he made the altar of cedar.

٢٠ كَانَ طُولُهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً، وَارْتِفَاعُهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً. وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ كَمَا غَشَّى الْمَذْبَحَ بِخَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.

٢١ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ غَشَّى سُلَيْمَانُ الْهَيْكَلَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. وَصَنَعَ سَلاسِلَ ذَهَبِيَّةً حَجَزَ بِها مَدْخَلَ الْمِحْرَابِ الْمُغَشَّى بِالذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

22 The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.

٢٢ فَكَانَ الهَيْكَلُ بِكَامِلِهِ مُغَشّىً مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِالذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ، بِمَا فِيهِ مَذْبَحُ الْمِحْرَابِ.

23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each seventeen feet and three inches high.

٢٣ وَأَقَامَ فِي الْمِحْرَابِ كَرُوبَيْنِ مَصْنُوعَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ الزَّيْتُونِ، عُلُوُّ الْوَاحِدِ مِنْهُمَا عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

24 Eight feet and seven inches was the one wing of the cherub, and eight feet and seven inches the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were seventeen feet and three inches.

٢٤ وَطُولُ جَنَاحَيِ الْكَرُوبِ الْوَاحِدِ، مِنَ الطَّرَفِ الْوَاحِدِ إِلَى الطَّرَفِ الآخَرِ، عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)

25 The other cherub was seventeen feet and three inches: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

٢٥ وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ طُولُ جَنَاحَيِ الْكَرُوبِ الثَّانِي عَشْرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، لأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مُتَمَاثِلَيْنِ فِي الْقِيَاسِ والشَّكْلِ.

26 The height of the one cherub was seventeen feet and three inches, and so was it of the other cherub.

٢٦ وَكَانَ عُلُوُّ كُلِّ كَرُوبٍ عَشْرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

27 He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

٢٧ وَأَقَامَ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ فِي وَسَطِ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، بِحَيْثُ يَمْتَدُّ طَرَفَا جَنَاحَيْهِمَا الْخَارِجِيَّيْنِ مِنَ الْحَائِطِ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ، وَيَتَلامَسُ طَرَفَا جَنَاحَيْهِمَا الدَّاخِلِيَّيْنِ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ الْمِحْرَابِ،

28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

٢٨ وَغَشَّى سُلَيْمَانُ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ بِالذَّهَبِ.

29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.

٢٩ وَنُقِشَتْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْجُدْرَانِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَالْخَارِجِ رُسُومُ كَرُوبِيمَ وَنَخِيلٍ وَبَراعِمِ زُهُورٍ.

30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.

٣٠ وَغَشَّى أَرْضَ الْهَيْكَلِ كُلِّهِ، بِقِسْمَيْهِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ وَالْخَارِجِيِّ، بِذَهَبٍ.

31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.

٣١ وَكَانَ لِلْمِحْرَابِ بَابٌ مِنْ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مَصْنُوعَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ الزَّيْتُونِ، لَهُمَا عَتَبَةٌ وَقَائِمَتَانِ عَلَى شَكْلِ مُخَمَّسٍ.

32 So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.

٣٢ وَنَقَشَ عَلَى الْمِصْرَاعَيْنِ رُسُومَ كَرُوبِيمَ وَنَخِيلٍ وَبَرَاعِمِ زُهُورٍ، وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ، كَمَا رَصَّعَ الْكُرُوبِيمَ وَالنَّخِيلَ بِذَهَبٍ.

33 So also he made for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;

٣٣ وَصَنَعَ لِمَدْخَلِ الْهَيْكَلِ قَوَائِمَ مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ الزَّيْتُونِ،

34 and two doors of fir wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

٣٤ وَمِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّرْوِ، لِكُلِّ مِصْرَاعٍ دَفَّتَانِ تَنْطَوِيَانِ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمَا.

35 He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.

٣٥ وَنَحَتَ نُقُوشَ كَرُوبِيمَ وَنَخِيلٍ وَبَرَاعِمِ زُهُورٍ وَغَشَّاهَا بِذَهَبٍ مَطْرُوقٍ.

36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.

٣٦ وَكَانَ جِدَارُ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلَيَّةِ مَبْنِيًّا مِنْ ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْمَنْحُوتَةِ، وَطَبَقَةٍ مِنْ عَوَارِضِ الأَرْزِ الْمُشَذَّبَةِ.

37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Ziv.

٣٧ وَكَانَ إِرْسَاءُ أَسَاسِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ فِي شَهْرِ زِيُو (أَيَارَ – مَايُو) مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

38 In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its fashion. So was he seven years in building it.

٣٨ وَفِي شَهْرِ بُولَ (تِشْرِينَ الثَّانِي – نُوفَمْبِرَ) مِنْ الْعَامِ الْحَادِي عَشَرَ لِمُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، اكْتَمَلَ بِنَاءُ الْهَيْكَلِ بِكُلِّ تَفَاصِيلِهِ، وَهَكَذَا اسْتَغْرَقَ تَشْيِيدُهُ سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ.
