1 Forsothe it was doon in the fourthe hundrid and fourescore yeer of the goynge out of the sones of Israel fro the lond of Egipt, in the fourthe yeer, in the monethe Zio; thilke is the secounde monethe of the rewme of Salomon on Israel; he bigan to bilde an hows to the Lord.
[建造殿宇]以色列子民出離埃及地後四百八十年，撒羅滿作以色列王第四年「齊夫」月，【即二月，】開始建造上主的殿。
2 Forsothe the hows which kyng Salomon bildide to the Lord, hadde sexti cubitis in lengthe, and twenti cubitis in breede, and thretti cubitis in heiythe.
撒羅滿王為上主所建立的殿，長六十肘，寬二十肘，高三十肘。
3 And a porche was bifor the temple of twenti cubitis of lengthe, by the mesure of the breed of the temple; and the porche hadde ten cubitis of breede, bifor the face of the temple.
殿堂前的門廊長二十肘，寬與殿的寬度相等，共十肘，在殿堂之前。
4 And Salomon made in the temple `wyndows streyte withoutforth, and large with ynne.
又為殿作了窗戶，有窗框和窗櫺。
5 And he bildide on the wal of the temple bildyngis of tablis bi cumpas, in the wallis of the hows, `bi cumpas of the temple, and of Goddis answeryng place; and he made sidis in the cumpas.
緊靠殿墻，即圍著外殿和內殿的牆，周圍建造了分層廂房﹕
6 The bildyng of tablis, that was vndur, hadde fyue cubitis of breede; and the myddil bildyng of tablis was of sixe cubits of breede; and the thridde bildyng of tablis was hauynge seuene cubitis of breede. Sotheli he puttide beemys in the hous bi cumpas with outforth, that tho cleuiden not to the wallis of the temple.
下層寬五肘，中層寬六肘，第三層寬七肘﹔使殿周圍對面的牆突出，免得梁木插入殿牆內。
7 Forsothe whanne the hows was bildid, it was bildid of `stoonys hewid and perfit; and an hamer, and ax, and al thing maad of yrun, weren not herd in the hows, while it was in bildyng.
建造殿宇時，始終是採用鑿好了的石頭，所以在建殿時，全聽不到槌子、斧子及任何鐵器的響聲。
8 The dore of the myddil side was in the wal of the riythalf hows; and bi a vijs thei stieden in to the myddil soler, and fro the myddil soler in to the thridde soler.
廂房最下層的門，設在殿的右邊，人可從螺旋梯上到中層，由中層上到第三層。
9 And Salomon bildide the hows, and endide it. Also Salomon hilide the hows with couplis of cedre,
殿造完了以後，又用香柏木梁和木板，蓋上了殿頂。
10 and bildide a bildyng of tablis ouer al the hows, bi fyue cubitis of heiythe, and hilide the hows with `trees of cedre.
殿的四周建立了廂房，每層高五肘，用香柏木梁使之與殿牆相連接。
11 And the word of the Lord was maad to Salomon, and seide,
又上主的話傳於撒羅滿說﹕「
12 This is the hows, which thou bildist; if thou gost in myn heestis, and dost my domes, and kepist alle my comaundementis, and goist bi tho, Y schal make stidefast my word to thee, `which word Y spak to Dauid, thi fadir;
關於你正在進行建造的這殿，....如果你履行我的法律，遵守我的規例，按照我的一切命令行事，我必對你實踐我向你父親達味所說的話，
13 and Y schal dwelle in the myddis of the sones of Israel, and Y schal not forsake my puple Israel.
必常住在以色列子民中，永不拋棄我的百姓以色列。」聖殿內部
14 Therfor Salomon bildide the hows, and endide it;
撒羅滿建殿，終於完成。
15 and he bildide the wallis of the hows with ynne with tablis of cedre, fro the pawment of the hows `til to the heiynesse of the wal, and `til to the couplis; and hilide with trees of cedre with ynne; and he hilide the pawment of the hows with tablis of beeche.
