2 Chronicles 3

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where he appeared to David his father, at the place that David had designated, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

١ وَأَخَذَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ الْيَبُوسِيِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى جَبَلِ الْمُرَيَّا، حَيْثُ تَرَاءَى الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَحَيْثُ وَقَعَ اخْتِيَارُ دَاوُدَ عَلَى مَكَانِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

٢ وَشَرَعَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ.

3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God's house. The length, using the former standard measure, was one hundred three feet and four inches, and the breadth was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height was fifty-one feet and eight inches.

٣ أَمَّا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ فَكَانَ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً) طُولاً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) عَرْضاً.

4 The porch that was in front of the house was the same as the width of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches, and the depth was seventeen feet and three inches; and he overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.

٤ وَكَانَ طُولُ الرُّوَاقِ الْقَائِمِ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) مُعَادِلاً لِعَرْضِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَارْتِفَاعُهُ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّينَ مِتْراً)، وَقَدْ غَشَّاهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِالذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

5 The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.

٥ وَغَطَّى الْجُدْرَانَ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ بِخَشَبِ السَّرْوِ وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، نَقَشَ عَلَيْهَا أَشْكَالَ نَخِيلٍ وَسَلاسِلَ.

6 He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

٦ وَجَمَّلَ الْهَيْكَلَ فَرَصَّعَهُ بِحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ، أَمَّا الذَّهَبُ الْمُسْتَخْدَمُ فَكَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبِ فَرَوَايِمَ.

7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.

٧ وَغَشَّى أَخْشَابَ الْبَيْتِ وَعَتَبَاتِهِ وَحَوَائِطَهُ وَمَصَارِيعَهُ بِذَهَبٍ وَنَقَشَ كَرُوبِيمَ عَلَى الْجُدْرَانِ.

8 He made the most holy house: its length, according to the breadth of the house, was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

٨ وَشَيَّدَ مِحْرَابَ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ فَكَانَ طُولُهُ مُسَاوِياً لِعَرْضِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَكَانَ مُرَبَّعَ الشَّكْلِ، طُولُهُ يُعَادِلُ عَرْضَهُ، عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً فِي عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (أَيْ نَحْوُ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ فِي عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَغَشَّاهُ بِسِتِّ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ وَاحِدٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

٩ وَكَانَ وَزْنُ مَسَامِيرِ الذَّهَبِ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ جِرَامٍ)، وَغَشَّى أَجْزَاءَهُ الْعُلْيَا بِالذَّهَبِ.

10 In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured work; and he overlaid them with gold.

١٠ وَصَاغَ سُلَيْمَانُ كَرُوبَيْنِ (وَهُمَا تِمْثَالانِ لِمَلاكَيْنِ) غَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ، وَوَضَعَهُمَا فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ.

11 The wings of the cherubim were thirty-four feet and five inches: the wing of the one was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

١١ وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ جَنَاحٍ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ الكَرُوبَيْنِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). وَمَسَّ طَرَفُ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبيِمِ الْخَارِجِيِّ جِدَارَ الْهَيْكَلِ أَمَّا طَرَفُهُ الدَّاخِلِيُّ فَتَلامَسَ مَعَ طَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الآخَرِ.

12 The wing of the other cherub was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

١٢ وَكَذَلِكَ مَسَّ طَرَفُ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الثَّانِي الْخَارِجِيِّ جِدَارَ الْهَيْكَلِ أَمَّا طَرَفُ الْجَنَاحِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ فَتَلامَسَ مَعَ طَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الأَوَّلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ.

13 The wings of these cherubim were extended thirty-four feet and five inches: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.

١٣ وَكَانَ هَذَانِ الكَرُوبَانِ مُنْتَصِبَيْنِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمَا فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ المِحْرَابِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى امْتِدَادِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

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

١٤ وَصَنَعَ الْحِجَابَ (الْفَاصِلَ بَيْنَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَبَقِيَّةِ الْهَيْكَلِ) مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقِ اللَّوْنِ وَبَنَفْسَجِيٍّ وَأَحْمَرَ وَكَتَّانٍ، طُرِّزَ عَلَيْهِ رَسْمُ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

15 Also he made before the house two pillars sixty feet and three inches high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was eight feet and seven inches.

١٥ وَأَقَامَ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ عَمُودَيْنِ، طُولُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلاثُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمَا تَاجَيْنِ، ارْتِفَاعُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

16 He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

١٦ وَصَنَعَ سَلاسِلَ مَضْفُورَةً مُمَاثِلَةً لِسَلاسِلِ الْمِحْرَابِ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى رَأْسَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ، كَمَا صَنَعَ مِئَةَ رُمَّانَةٍ عَلَّقَهَا بِالسَّلاسِلِ.

17 He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jakin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

١٧ وَنَصَبَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَاحِداً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَدَعَاهُ يَاكِينَ، وَالآخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَدَعاهُ بُوعَزَ.
