1 Kings 7

1 They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.

١ وَبَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ قَصْرَهُ فِي ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً،

2 One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.

٢ وَشَيَّدَ أَيْضاً قَصْراً عَامّاً دَعَاهُ قَصْرَ غَابَةِ لُبْنَانَ. وَكَانَ طُولُهُ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلاثِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً)، وَيَقُومُ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوفٍ مِنْ أَعْمِدَةٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ، تَرْتَكِزُ عَلَيْهَا عَوَارِضُ خَشَبِيَّةٌ مُنَسَّقَةٌ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

3 [To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.

٣ وَامْتَدَّ سَقْفٌ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ فَوْقَ هَذِهِ الْعَوَارِضِ الْمُنَسَّقَةِ البَّالِغَةِ خَمْساً وَأَرْبَعِينَ عَارِضَةً، قَائِمَةً عَلَى الأَعْمِدَةِ، وَقَدْ نُسِّقَتْ فِي صُفُوفٍ ثَلاثَةٍ، يَتَأَلَّفُ كُلُّ صَفٍّ مِنْهَا مِنْ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ عَارِضَةً.

4 On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.

٤ وَتَتَكَوَّنُ السُّقُوفُ مِنْ ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ، لَهَا نَوَافِذُ مُتَقَابِلَةٌ فِي كُلِّ طَبَقَةٍ.

5 All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.

٥ وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ الْمَدَاخِلِ وَالنَّوافِذِ إِطَارَاتٌ مُرَبَّعَةُ الشَّكْلِ، كَمَا تَقَابَلَتْ كُلُّ نَافِذَةٍ مَعَ نَافِذَةٍ أُخْرَى، مُنَسَّقَةً فِي ثَلاثَةِ صُفُوفٍ.

6 They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.

٦ وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ قَاعَةٌ أُخْرَى اسْمُهَا «بَهْوُ الأَعْمِدَةِ» طُولُهَا خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعرْضُهَا ثَلاثُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً) كَمَا بَنَى أَمَامَهَا شُرْفَةً تَقُومُ عَلَى أَعْمِدَةٍ مَسْقُوفَةٍ.

7 Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.

٧ وَكَذَلِكَ شَيَّدَ «قَاعَةَ الْعَرْشِ» أَوْ «بَهْوَ الْقَضَاءِ» وَغَشَّاهَا بِأَلْوَاحٍ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِلَى السَّقْفِ.

8 In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.

٨ أَمَّا بَيْتُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُقِيمُ فِيهِ فَكَانَ خَلْفَ «قَاعَةِ الْعَرْشِ» مُمَاثِلاً لَهَا فِي فَنِّ الْبِنَاءِ، كَمَا شَيَّدَ قَصْراً مُمَاثِلاً لِزَوْجَتِهِ ابْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ.

9 All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.

٩ وَقَدْ شُيِّدَتْ هَذِهِ جَمِيعاً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ ضَخْمَةٍ رَفِيعَةِ الْمُسْتَوَى، قُطِعَتْ وَشُذِّبَتْ وُجُوهُهَا الدَّاخِلِيَّةُ وَالْخَارِجِيَّةُ بِمِنْشَارٍ وَفْقَ الْمَقَايِيسِ الْمَطْلُوبَةِ، وَاسْتُخْدِمَتْ مِنَ الأَسَاسِ إِلَى الإِفْرِيزِ وَمِنْ خَارِجٍ إِلَى الدَّارِ الْكَبِيرَةِ.

10 The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.

١٠ وَكَانَتْ أَسَاسَاتُهَا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ ضَخْمَةٍ رَفِيعَةِ الْمُسْتَوَى يَتَرَاوَحُ حَجْمُهَا مَا بَيْنَ ثَمَانِي إِلَى عَشْرِ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوِ أَرْبَعَةِ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ مُكَعَّبَةٍ).

11 On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.

١١ أَمَّا حِجَارَةُ جُدْرَانِ الْبِنَاءِ فَقَدْ قُطِعَتْ بِحَسَبِ مَقَايِيسَ مُعَيَّنَةٍ، وَكُسِيَتْ بِأَلْوَاحٍ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

12 The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.

١٢ وَتَكَوَّنَتْ جُدْرَانُ بَهْوِ الْقَضَاءِ مِنْ ثَلاثَةِ صُفُوفٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْمَنْحُوتَةِ وَصَفٍّ مِنْ عَوَارِضِ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ، مُمَاثِلاً بِذَلِكَ رُوَاقَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الدَّاخِلِيِّ وَبَهْوَ الْقَصْرِ.

13 There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.

١٣ وَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ رَجُلاً مِنْ صُورٍ يُدْعَى حِيرَامَ.

14

١٤ كَانَ ابْناً لأَرْمَلَةٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي، أَمَّا أَبُوهُ الْمُتَوَفَّى فَكَانَ مِنْ صُورَ يَعْمَلُ نَحَّاساً، وَقَدْ بَرَعَ حِيرَامُ فِي مِهْنَتِهِ وَأَتْقَنَهَا، فَانْخَرَطَ فِي خِدْمَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَنْجَزَ الأَعْمَالَ الَّتِي عَهِدَ بِها إِلَيْهِ.

15 He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.

١٥ وَسَبَكَ حِيرَامُ عَمُودَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، طُولُ الْعَمُودِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ تِسْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَمُحِيطُهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَانَا أَجْوَفَيْنِ، سُمْكُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعَ.

16 He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.

١٦ وَصَنَعَ تَاجَيْنِ مِنَ النُّحَاسِ الْمَصْبُوبِ لِيَضَعَهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَي عَمُودَي النُّحَاسِ. طُولُ التَّاجِ الْوَاحِدِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)،

17 Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.

١٧ وَزَيَّنَ كُلَّ تَاجٍ مِنَ التَّاجَيْنِ الْمَوْضُوعَيْنِ عَلَى رَأْسَي الْعَمُودَيْنِ بِسَبْعِ نَوَافِذَ مِنْ شِبَاكٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ مِنْ ضَفَائِرِ النُّحَاسِ.

18 He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.

١٨ وَسَبَكَ صَفَّيْنِ مِنَ الرُّمَّانِ حَوْلَ مُحِيطِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ عَلَى نَوَافِذِ الشَّبَكَتَيْنِ،

19 The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.

١٩ لِتَغْطِيةِ التَّاجَيْنِ اللَّذَانِ عَلَى رَأْسِي الْعَمُودَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ فِي الشُّرْفَةِ فَقَدْ كَانَا عَلَى شَكْلِ زَهْرَةِ السُّوسَنِّ، وَطُولُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ)،

20 These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.

٢٠ وَكَانَ عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنَ التَّاجَيْنِ الْقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَى الْعَمُودَيْنِ، وَفَوْقَ الْقِمَّةِ الْمُسْتَدِيرَةِ الشَّبِيهَةِ بِالطَّاقَةِ وَالتَّالِيَةِ لِلشَّبَكَةِ مِئَتَا رُمَّانَةٍ، فِي صُفُوفٍ حَوْلَ مُحِيطِ كُلِّ تَاجٍ.

21 His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.

٢١ وَنَصَبَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ فِي شُرْفَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، أَحَدَهُمَا إِلَى الْيَمِينِ وَدَعَاهُ يَاكِينَ، وَالآخَرَ إِلَى الشِّمَالِ وَدَعَاهُ بُوعَزَ.

22 The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.

٢٢ وَكَانَ التَّاجَانِ عَلَى شَكْلِ زَهْرَةِ السُّوسَنِّ. وَهَكَذَا اكْتَمَلَ صُنْعُ الْعَمُودَيْنِ.

23 Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.

٢٣ وَصَنَعَ حِيرَامُ بِرْكَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَجَعَلَهَا مُسْتَدِيرَةً، يَبْلُغُ طُولُ قُطْرِهَا مِنَ الْحَافَةِ إِلَى الْحَافَةِ عَشْرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَطُولُ مُحِيطِهَا ثَلاثِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً)

24 Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.

٢٤ وَسَبَكَ تَحْتَ اسْتِدَارَةِ مُحِيطِ حَافَتِهَا صَفَّيْنِ مِنَ الْقِثَّاءِ عَشْرِ قِثَّاءَاتٍ لِكُلِّ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوِ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَقَدْ سُبِكَتْ كُلُّهَا، مَعَ الْحَافَةِ حِينَ تَمَّ سَبْكُ البِرْكَةِ.

25 Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.

٢٥ وَكَانَتِ البِرْكَةُ تَرْتَكِزُ عَلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْراً تَتَّجِهُ رُؤُوسُ ثَلاثَةٍ مِنْهَا نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ، وَثَلاثَةٍ مِنْهَا نَحْوَ الْغَرْبِ، وَثَلاثَةٍ مِنْهَا نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، والثَّلاثَةِ الأَخِيرَةِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ. أَمَّا أَعْجَازُهَا جَمِيعاً فَكَانَتْ مُتَّجِهَةً نَحْوَ الدَّاخِلِ، وَنُصِبَتِ الْبِرْكَةُ عَلَيْهَا.

26 The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].

٢٦ وَبَلَغَ سُمْكُ جِدَارِ الْبِرْكَةِ شِبْراً، وَصُنِعَتْ حَافَّتُهَا عَلَى شَكْلِ كَأْسِ زَهْرِ السُّوسَنِّ، وَهِيَ تَسَعُ أَلْفَيْ بَثٍّ (نَحْوَ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ جَالُونٍ مِنَ الْمَاءِ).

27 Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.

٢٧ وَصَنَعَ حِيرَامُ أَيْضاً عَشَرَ قَوَاعِدَ مُتَحَرِّكَةٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، طُولُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا وَعَرْضُهَا أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ)، وَارْتِفَاعُهَا ثَلاثُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَنِصْفٍ).

28 [On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.

٢٨ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ كَيْفِيَّةُ صُنْعِهَا: كَانَ لَهَا أَتْرَاسٌ مُثَبَّتَةٌ فِي وَسْطِ أُطُرٍ،

29 On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.

٢٩ وَطَرَقَ عَلَى الأَتْرَاسِ الَّتِي فِي وَسْطِ الأُطُرِ وَعَلَى الأُطُرِ، أُسُوداً وَثِيرَاناً وَكَرُوبِيمَ. كَمَا تَدَلَّتْ قَلائِدُ زُهُورٍ مِنْ فَوْقِ الأُسُودِ وَالثِّيرَانِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِهَا.

30 Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.

٣٠ وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ قَاعِدَةٍ أَرْبَعُ بَكَرَاتٍ نُحَاسِيَّةٍ ذَاتِ مَحَاوِرَ نُحَاسِيَّةٍ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا أَكْتَافٌ لِزَوَايَاهَا الأَرْبَعِ. وَهَذِهِ الأَكْتَافُ مَسْبُوكَةٌ تَحْتَ الْمِرْحَضَةِ بِجُوَارِ كُلِّ قَلادَةٍ.

31 On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.

٣١ أَمَّا فَمُهَا فَهُوَ دَاخِلُ إِكْلِيلٍ، وَيَبْلُغُ ارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَهُوَ مُسْتَدِيرٌ مُمَاثِلٌ لِلْقَاعِدَةِ، يَبْلُغُ عُمْقُهُ ذِرَاعاً وَنِصْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَرْبَاعِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَيْهِ نُقُوشٌ. أَمَّا أَتْرَاسُهَا فَمُرَبَّعَةُ الشَّكْلِ وَلَيْسَتْ مُسْتَدِيرَةً.

32 The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.

٣٢ وَتَقَعُ الْبَكَرَاتُ تَحْتَ الأَتْرَاسِ، فِي حِين أُثْبِتَتْ مَحَاوِرُهَا فِي الْقَاعِدَةِ. وَكَانَ قُطْرُ الْبَكَرَةِ ذِرَاعاً وَنِصْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَرْبَاعِ الْمِتْرِ).

33 The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].

٣٣ وَصُنِعَتِ الْبَكَرَاتُ عَلَى مِثَالِ عَجَلاتِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ. أَمَّا مَحَاوِرُهَا وَأُطُرُهَا وَقُضْبَانُهَا وَقُبُوبُهَا فَقَدْ كَانَتْ كُلُّهَا مَسْبُوكَةً.

34 At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.

٣٤ وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ قَاعِدَةٍ أَكْتَافٌ أَرْبَعٌ، هِيَ جُزْءٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدَةِ، قَائِمَةٌ عَلَى زَوَايَاهَا الأَرْبَعِ.

35 There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.

٣٥ وَأَعْلَى الْقَاعِدَةِ مُقَبَّبٌ مُسْتَدِيرٌ يَبْلُغُ عُمْقُهُ نِصْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ رُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَقَدْ سُبِكَتْ دَعَائِمُهُ وَأَتْرَاسُهُ مَعَ الْقَاعِدَةِ.

36 The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.

٣٦ وَتَمَّ نَقْشُ كَرُوبِيمَ وَأُسُودٍ وَنَخِيلٍ، مَعَ قَلائِدِ زُهُورٍ، عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الدَّعَائِمِ وَالأَتْرَاسِ، وَفِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ يَتَّسِعُ لِلنَّقْشِ.

37 That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.

٣٧ هَكَذَا صَنَعَ حِيرَامُ الْقَوَاعِدَ الْعَشْرَ، فَكَانَتْ كُلُّهَا مُتَمَاثِلَةً فِي السَّبْكِ وَالْقِيَاسِ وَالشَّكْلِ.

38 Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].

٣٨ وَصَنَعَ حِيرَامُ أَيْضاً عَشْرَةَ مَرَاحِضَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ تَسَعُ كُلُّ مِرْحَضَةٍ أَرْبَعِينَ بَثّاً (نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ جَالُوناً مِنَ الْمَاءِ)، قُطْرُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ). فَكَانَ لِكُلِّ قَاعِدَةٍ مِنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ الْعَشَرِ مِرْحَضَةٌ.

39 Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.

٣٩ وَأَقَامَ خَمْسَ قَوَاعِدَ عَلَى جَانِبِ الْهَيْكَلِ الأَيْمَنِ، وَخَمْساً عَلَى جَانِبِ الْهَيْكَلِ الأَيْسَرِ، أَمَّا الْبِرْكَةُ فَكَانَتْ فِي الرُّكْنِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ الشَّرْقِيِّ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ.

40 Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:

٤٠ وَانْتَهَى حِيرَامُ مِنْ صُنْعِ الأَحْوَاضِ وَالْمَجَارِفِ وَالْكُؤوسِ الَّتِي عَهِدَ بِها إِلَيْهِ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لأَجْلِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ،

41 the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;

٤١ وَكَذَلِكَ مِنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ وَكَأْسَيِ التَّاجَيْنِ الْقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَى رَأْسَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ، وَالشَّبَكَتَيْنِ لِتَغْطِيَةِ كَأْسَيِ التَّاجَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ عَلَى رَأْسَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ،

42 the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;

٤٢ وَالأَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ رُمَّانَةٍ الْمَنْقُوشَةِ فِي صَفَّيْنِ حَوْلَ الشَّبَكَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ تُغَطِّيَانِ كَأْسَيِ التَّاجَيْنِ الْقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَى الْعَمُودَيْنِ،

43 the ten carts; the ten basins;

٤٣ وَالْقَوَاعِدِ الْعَشَرِ وَالْمَرَاحِضِ الْعَشَرِ الْمُثَبَّتَةِ عَلَى الْقَوَاعِدِ.

44 the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;

٤٤ وَالْبِرْكَةِ الْمُرْتَكِزَةِ عَلَى الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْراً،

45 the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.

٤٥ وَالْقُدُورِ وَالْمَجَارِفِ وَالْكُؤوسِ. وَقَدْ صَنَعَ حِيرَامُ مِنَ النُّحَاسِ الْمَصْقُولِ، جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الآنِيَةِ الَّتِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ بِها الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

46 They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.

٤٦ وَقَدْ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ بِسَبْكِهَا فِي غَوْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، فِي أَرْضِ الْخَزَفِ، بَيْنَ سُكُّوتَ وَصَرَتَانَ.

47 Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.

٤٧ وَلَمْ يُحَاوِلْ سُلَيْمَانُ وَزْنَ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الآنِيَةِ لِفَرْطِ كَثْرَتِهَا، حَتَّى لَمْ يَتِمَّ التَّحَقُّقُ مِنْ وَزْنِ النُّحَاسِ.

48 Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;

٤٨ وَصَنَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَائِدَةَ الَّتِي يُوْضَعُ عَلَيْهَا خُبْزُ التَّقْدِمَةِ.

49 the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];

٤٩ كَمَا صُنِعَتِ الْمَنَائِرُ الَّتِي وُزِّعَتْ أَمَامَ الْمِحْرَابِ، خَمْساً إِلَى الْيَمِينِ وَخَمْساً إِلَى الْيَسَارِ، مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، وَأَيْضاً الأَزْهَارُ وَالسُّرُجُ وَالْمَلاقِطُ كُلُّهَا صُنِعَتْ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

50 the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.

٥٠ وَصُنِعَتِ الطُّسُوسُ وَالْمَقَصَّاتُ وَالْمَنَاضِحُ وَالْمَرَاحِضُ وَالْمَجَامِرُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، كَمَا صُنِعَتْ مَفْصِلاتُ مَصَارِيعِ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ وَأَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

51 So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.

٥١ وَهَكَذَا اكْتَمَلَ الْعَمَلُ كُلُّهُ الَّذِي قَامَ بِهِ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِتَشْيِيدِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَخَذَ سُلَيْمَانُ مُدَّخَرَاتِ أَبِيهِ دَاوُدَ، مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَأَوَانٍ، الَّتِي كَرَّسَهَا لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَوَضَعَهَا فِي خَزَائِنِ الْهَيْكَلِ.
