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 YHWH.
Salomo mulai membangun Rumah TUHAN pada bulan Ziw, yaitu bulan kedua, dalam tahun keempat pemerintahannya, 480 tahun setelah bangsa Israel meninggalkan Mesir.
2 The house which king Solomon built for YHWH, 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.
Ukuran Rumah TUHAN, bagian dalam adalah sebagai berikut: panjang 27 meter, lebar 9 meter, dan tinggi 13,5 meter.
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.
Di bagian depan Rumah TUHAN itu ada balai yang panjangnya 4,5 meter dan lebarnya 9 meter, selebar rumah itu juga.
4 For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.
Pada tembok rumah itu terdapat lubang-lubang jendela yang melebar ke dalam.
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.
Sekeliling bagian belakang rumah itu, pada tembok sebelah luarnya dibangun kamar-kamar bertingkat. Ada tiga tingkatnya, masing-masing setinggi 2,2 meter.
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.
Pada tingkat pertama, lebar setiap kamarnya 2,2 meter, pada tingkat kedua 2,7 meter dan pada tingkat ketiga 3,1 meter. Tembok tingkat bawah lebih tebal dari tembok tingkat yang di atasnya, sehingga balok-balok kamar tambahan itu dapat dihubungkan dengan tembok Rumah TUHAN itu tanpa melubangi tembok itu.
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.
Untuk balok-balok itu dipakai kayu cemara Libanon. Pintu ke kamar-kamar tambahan di tingkat bawah berada di sebelah selatan, dan untuk ke tingkat dua dan tiga ada tangga pilin. Kemudian Salomo memasang langit-langit rumah itu. Untuk itu ia memakai kasau-kasau dan papan dari kayu cemara Libanon. Selama Rumah TUHAN itu dibangun, sama sekali tidak terdengar bunyi palu, kapak atau perkakas besi, sebab batu-batu yang dipakai untuk pembangunan itu telah disiapkan terlebih dahulu ketika masih di tambang-tambangnya. Demikianlah Salomo membangun Rumah TUHAN itu sampai selesai.
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.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
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.
11 The word of YHWH came to Solomon, saying,
Maka berkatalah TUHAN kepada Salomo,
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.
"Kalau engkau mentaati semua hukum dan perintah-Ku, Aku akan melakukan untukmu apa yang telah Kujanjikan kepada ayahmu Daud.
13 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."
Aku akan tinggal di dalam rumah yang kaubangun ini di tengah-tengah umat-Ku Israel. Aku tidak akan meninggalkan mereka."
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Beginilah Salomo menyelesaikan pembangunan Rumah TUHAN itu:
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.
Seluruh tembok bagian dalam dilapisinya dengan kayu cemara Libanon, mulai dari lantai sampai ke langit-langit. Lantainya dibuat dari kayu cemara biasa.
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.
Di dalam rumah itu, di bagian belakang dibuat kamar dengan memasang dinding pemisah dari kayu cemara, mulai dari lantai sampai ke langit-langit. Kamar itu dinamakan Ruang Mahasuci; panjangnya sembilan meter.
17 In front of the temple sanctuary was sixty-eight feet and eleven inches.
Ruang di depan Ruang Mahasuci itu disebut Ruang Besar, dan panjangnya 18 meter.
18 And the inside of the house was cedar, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
Tembok bagian dalam seluruh rumah itu dilapisi dengan kayu cemara Libanon, sehingga batu-batu temboknya tidak kelihatan sama sekali. Lapisan itu dihiasi dengan ukiran buah labu dan bunga-bunga mekar.
19 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of YHWH.
Ruang Mahasuci yang dibuat di dalam Rumah TUHAN itu disediakan untuk Peti Perjanjian TUHAN.
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.
Ruangan itu panjangnya, lebarnya dan tingginya sama, yaitu sembilan meter. Mezbah di depan Ruang Mahasuci itu dibuat dari kayu cemara Libanon. Pada pintu masuk ke ruangan itu direntangkan rantai emas. Seluruh bagian dalam Rumah TUHAN itu termasuk Ruang Mahasuci dan mezbahnya dilapisi dengan emas murni.
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.
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.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each seventeen feet and three inches high.
Di dalam Ruang Mahasuci itu ditaruh juga dua patung kerub yang dibuat dari kayu zaitun. Kedua patung itu masing-masing tingginya 4,4 meter;
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.
ukuran dan bentuknya sama. Masing-masing mempunyai dua sayap, setiap sayap itu 2,2 meter panjangnya. Jarak antara kedua ujung sayap dari masing-masing patung 4,4 meter.
25 The other cherub was seventeen feet and three inches: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 The height of the one cherub was seventeen feet and three inches, and so was it of the other cherub.
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.
Kedua patung itu diletakkan berdampingan di dalam Ruang Mahasuci sehingga satu sayap dari setiap patung itu menyentuh dinding, dan sayap yang lainnya saling menyentuh di tengah-tengah ruangan itu.
28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Kedua patung kerub itu dilapisi dengan emas.
29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
Seluruh dinding bagian dalam Rumah TUHAN dihiasi dengan ukiran kerub-kerub, pohon-pohon palem, dan bunga-bunga mekar.
30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
Lantai di dalam Rumah TUHAN itu seluruhnya dilapisi dengan emas.
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.
Pada pintu masuk ke dalam Ruang Mahasuci itu dipasang dua daun pintu dari kayu zaitun. Ambang pintu itu bagian atas berbentuk lengkungan yang tajam di tengah-tengahnya.
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.
Kedua daun pintu itu dihiasi dengan ukiran kerub, pohon palem dan bunga-bunga mekar. Daun pintu, patung kerub dan ukiran pohon-pohon palem, semuanya dilapisi dengan emas.
33 So also he made for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;
Pada pintu masuk ke dalam ruangan muka, yaitu ruang besar, dipasang bingkai pintu dari kayu zaitun, berbentuk empat persegi panjang.
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.
Juga dibuat dua daun pintu dari kayu cemara biasa, yang masing-masing dapat dilipat.
35 He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
Daun-daun pintu itu dihiasi dengan ukiran kerub, pohon palem dan bunga mekar. Semua ukiran itu berlapis emas.
36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.
Di depan Rumah TUHAN itu dibuat pelataran dalam. Pelataran itu dikelilingi tembok yang berlapis-lapis: di atas setiap tiga lapis batu, ada selapis kayu cemara Libanon.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of YHWH laid, in the month Ziv.
Pondasi Rumah TUHAN itu dipasang pada bulan Ziw, yaitu bulan kedua, dalam tahun keempat pemerintahan Salomo.
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.
Dan pada bulan Bul, yaitu bulan kedelapan, dalam tahun kesebelas pemerintahannya, selesailah Rumah TUHAN itu dibangun oleh Salomo, tepat seperti yang sudah direncanakan. Pembangunan rumah itu makan waktu tujuh tahun.
