歴代誌Ⅱ 3
1 ソロモンはエルサレムのモリアの山に主の宮を建てることを始めた。そこは父ダビデに主が現れられた所、すなわちエブスびとオルナンの打ち場にダビデが備えた所である。
Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to David his father. He prepared the place that David had planned for it, at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

He began to build on the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

Now these are the dimensions of the foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God. Using the old style cubit, the length was sixty cubits, and the width was twenty cubits.
4 宮の前の廊は宮の幅に従って長さ二十キュビト高さ百二十キュビトで、その内部は純金でおおった。
The length of the portico at the front of the house was twenty cubits, matching the building's width. Its height was also twenty cubits, and Solomon overlaid its interior with pure gold.

He fashioned the ceiling of the main hall with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold, and which he carved with palm trees and chains.
6 また宝石をはめ込んで宮を飾った。その金はパルワイムの金であった。
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 彼はまた金をもってその宮、すなわち、梁、敷居、壁および戸をおおい、壁の上にケルビムを彫りつけた。
He also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its walls.
8 彼はまた至聖所を造った。その長さは宮の長さにしたがって二十キュビト、幅も二十キュビトである。彼は精金六百タラントをもってこれをおおった。
He built the most holy place. Its length matched the house's width, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 その釘の金の重さは五十シケルであった。彼はまた階上の室も金でおおった。
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid its high surfaces with gold.
10 彼は至聖所に木を刻んだケルビムの像を二つ造り、これを金でおおった。
He made two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen overlaid them with gold.
11 ケルビムの翼の長さは合わせて二十キュビトあった。すなわち一つのケルブの一つの翼は五キュビトで、宮の壁に届き、ほかの翼も五キュビトで、他のケルブの翼に届き、
The wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits long all together; the wing of one cherub was five cubits long, reaching to the wall of the room; the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

The wing of the other cherub was also five cubits, reaching to the wall of the room; its other wing was also five cubits, touching the wing of the first cherub.
13 これらのケルビムの翼は広げると二十キュビトあった。かれらは共に足で立ち、その顔は拝殿に向かっていた。
The wings of these cherubs spread a total of twenty cubits. The cherubs stood on their feet, with their faces toward the main hall.
14 ソロモンはまた青糸、紫糸、緋糸および亜麻糸で垂幕を造り、その上にケルビムの縫い取りを施した。
He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs on it.
15 彼は宮の前に柱を二本造った。その高さは三十五キュビト、おのおのの柱の頂に五キュビトの柱頭を造った。
Solomon also made two pillars, each thirty-five cubits high, for in front of the house; the capitals that were on the top of them were five cubits high.
16 彼は首飾のような鎖を造って、柱の頂につけ、ざくろ百を造ってその鎖の上につけた。
He made chains for the pillars and put them on top of them; he also made one hundred pomegranates and joined them to the chains.
17 彼はこの柱を神殿の前に、一本を南の方に、一本を北の方に立て、南の方のをヤキンと名づけ、北の方のをボアズと名づけた。
He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; he named the pillar on the right Jakin, and the pillar on the left Boaz.
