1 Kings 7
1 Solomon took thirteen years to build his own palace.
[建造宮室]此後，撒羅滿為自己建造宮室，十三年方纔完成。
2 He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.
他建造的，有黎巴嫩林宮，長一百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘；有三行香柏木柱子，柱子上端有香柏木托梁。
3 The house was roofed with cedar that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.
上面蓋上香柏木板；每行十五根柱子，共有四十五根。
4 There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.
窗戶有三排，三排窗戶彼此相對。
5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.
門和窗戶都是方形；三層窗戶都彼此相對。
6 There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.
又造了有圓柱的大廳，長五十肘，寬三十肘；大廳前面另有一個廊子，廊子前面有柱子和頂蓋。
7 Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
他又造了一廳，中間設有審判的座位，在那裏審案；從地面到梁，都是用香柏木舖蓋的。
8 Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
廳後的另一院內，有君王住的宮室，建築式樣，完全與審判廳相同；為君王所娶的法郎公主，也建造了與審判廳相同的宮室。
9 These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.
從外院直到大院的這一切建築，從地基到屋頂，都是用按尺寸鑿好，用鋸內外鋸平的寶貴石頭建造的。
10 The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.
地基也都是用貴重巨大的石頭砌成的，有的十肘長，有的八肘長；
11 Above were costly hewn stones precisely cut to size, and cedar beams.
上面有按尺寸鑿好的貴重石頭和香柏木。
12 The great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.
大院四周的牆有三層鑿好的石頭和一層香柏木板；上主的殿宇的內院和殿廊，都包圍在內。兩根銅柱
13 King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from Tyre.
撒羅滿王派人由提洛將希蘭接來。
14 Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.
希蘭是納斐塔里支派一個寡婦的兒子，他父親是提洛的一個銅匠；他多才多藝，會做一切銅工。他來到撒羅滿前，為他做一切工作，
15 Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
鑄了兩根銅柱：一根高十八肘，周徑十二肘，四指厚，中空；另一根也是這樣。
16 He made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.
製了兩個銅鑄的智頭，安在柱子頂端：一個柱頭五肘，另一個柱頭也高五肘。
17 Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
他又製了兩個銅網，為遮護柱子頂端的柱頭：這一個柱頭有一個銅網，另一個柱頭也有一個銅網。
18 So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.
在網子周圍，又製了兩行石榴，遮住柱頭：兩個柱頭都是如此。
19 The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.
柱子頂端上的柱頭，刻有百合花形像，四肘高。
20 The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
兩根柱子頂端上的柱頭突起處，網子後面，各有石榴二百個，分行圍繞著。
21 He raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz.
他將兩根柱子豎立在殿廊的前面：給立在右邊的柱子，起名叫雅津；給立在左邊的柱子，起名叫波阿次：
22 On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.
這樣，柱子的工作就算完成了。銅海
23 Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
他又鑄造了一座銅海，圓形，直徑十肘，高五肘，周徑三十肘。
24 Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.
銅海邊緣下面周圍有匏瓜，每肘十個，四面圍繞著銅海；匏瓜分成兩行，是鑄銅海時鑄上去的。
25 “The Sea” stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
銅海安放在十二隻銅牛上；三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東。銅海安放在牛背上，牛尾朝裏。
26 The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water.
銅海厚一掌，邊像杯邊，形似百合花，可容兩千「巴特。」盆與盆座
27 Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.
又鑄造了十個銅盆座，每個長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。
28 The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames,
盆座的造法是這樣：盆座有鑲板，鑲板裝入框架內，
29 and on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.
在框架中間的鑲板上刻有獅子、牛和革魯賓的形像，在框架上也有雕刻；獅子和牛的形像下，刻有花紋浮雕。
30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one.
每個盆座有四個銅輪和銅軸；盆底有四腳作支柱，支柱是鑄成的；每邊都刻有花紋。
31 The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.
盆座的口，從座底至口邊高一肘半；口成圓形，為安放銅盆之用；在口的邊緣上也有雕刻；盆座的鑲板是四方形的，而不是圓形的。
32 The four wheels were underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
四個輪子是在鑲板之下，輪軸與座底相接；輪子高一肘半。
33 The wheels were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
輪子的製法和車輪的製法一樣，輪軸、輪輞、輪輻和輪轂，都是鑄成的。
34 There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.
每個盆座有四根支柱支持四角，支柱與盆座是一塊鑄成的。
35 In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.
盆座頂上有一個圓架，高半肘；在座頂上有柄，鑲板與座是一塊鑄成的。
36 On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.
鑲板壁上刻有革魯賓、獅子和棕樹；四周空處另刻有花紋。
37 He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same shape.
十個盆座都是這樣做的：鑄法、尺寸和式樣完全相同。
38 Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of ten stands.
又製了十個銅盆，每個銅盆可容四十「巴特；」每個銅盆高四肘；十個銅盆座上，每個安放一個銅盆。
39 He made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south of the temple.
他把盆座，五個放在殿的右邊，五個放在殿的左邊；至於銅海，他放在殿右靠東南方。希蘭所製物品
40 Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:
希蘭又製造了鍋、鏟和盤：這樣，希蘭為撒羅滿作完了上主殿宇的一切工作：
41 the two pillars, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
計有柱子兩根，柱子頂端球形的柱頭兩個，遮護柱子頂端球形柱頭的網子兩個，
42 He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);
兩個網子上的石榴四百個，─每個網子上有兩行石榴，為遮護柱子頂端的兩個球形柱頭，
43 the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.
盆座十個，放在座上的盆子十個，
44 He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its twelve oxen under it;
銅海一個，銅海下的銅牛十二隻，
45 also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.
鍋鏟和盤：以上一切器皿，都是希蘭給撒羅滿用光滑的銅，為上主的殿製造的，
46 The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
是他在約旦平原，穌苛特與匝爾堂之間，用膠泥模鑄成的。
47 Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
撒羅滿沒有秤量這一切器皿，因為銅太多，重量無法計算。
48 Solomon had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
以後撒羅滿又製造了上主殿內的一切用具：就是金祭壇，供餅的金桌，
49 the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of gold.
內殿前的燈臺，五個在右邊，五個在左邊，都是純金的；還有花蕊、燈盞、燭剪，也是金的。
50 Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
又有盆、刀、碗、杯、火盤，都是純金的；還有內殿既至聖所，和正殿的門樞，都是金的。
51 In this way, all the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
撒羅滿就這樣完成了為上主的殿所作的一切工作。撒羅滿將他父親達味所奉獻的銀子、金子和器皿運了來，存放在上主殿宇的府庫內。
