歷代志下 3
1 所羅門就在耶路撒冷、耶和華向他父大衛顯現的摩利亞山上，就是耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上、大衛所指定的地方預備好了，開工建造耶和華的殿。
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.
2 所羅門作王第四年二月初二日開工建造。
He began to build on the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 所羅門建築上帝殿的根基，乃是這樣：長六十肘，寬二十肘，都按着古時的尺寸。
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 殿前的廊子長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，高一百二十肘；裏面貼上精金。
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.
5 大殿的牆都用松木板遮蔽，又貼了精金，上面雕刻棕樹和鍊子；
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 又用寶石裝飾殿牆，使殿華美；所用的金子都是巴瓦音的金子。
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 又用金子貼殿和殿的棟樑、門檻、牆壁、門扇；牆上雕刻基路伯。
He also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its walls.
8 又建造至聖所，長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，寬也是二十肘；貼上精金，共用金子六百他連得。
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 金釘重五十舍客勒。樓房都貼上金子。
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid its high surfaces with gold.
10 在至聖所按造像的法子造兩個基路伯，用金子包裹。
He made two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen overlaid them with gold.
11 兩個基路伯的翅膀共長二十肘。這基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘，挨着殿這邊的牆；那一個翅膀也長五肘，與那基路伯翅膀相接。
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.
12 那基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘，挨着殿那邊的牆；那一個翅膀也長五肘，與這基路伯的翅膀相接。
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 兩個基路伯張開翅膀，共長二十肘，面向外殿而立。
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 又用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線和細麻織幔子，在其上繡出基路伯來。
He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs on it.
15 在殿前造了兩根柱子，高三十五肘；每柱頂高五肘。
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 又照聖所內鍊子的樣式做鍊子，安在柱頂上；又做一百石榴，安在鍊子上。
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 將兩根柱子立在殿前，一根在右邊，一根在左邊；右邊的起名叫雅斤，左邊的起名叫波阿斯。
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.
