列王紀上 6

1 以色列人出埃及地後四百八十年，所羅門作以色列王第四年西弗月，就是二月，開工建造耶和華的殿。

And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

2 所羅門王為耶和華所建的殿，長六十肘，寬二十肘，高三十肘。

And the house which the king built to the Lord [was] forty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height five and twenty cubits.

3 殿前的廊子長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，闊十肘；

And the porch in front of the temple—twenty cubits [was] its length according to the breadth of the house in front of the house: and he built the house, and finished it.

4 又為殿做了嚴緊的窗櫺。

And he made to the house secret windows inclining inward.

5 靠着殿牆，圍着外殿內殿，造了三層旁屋；

And against the wall of the house he set chambers round about the temple and the ark.

6 下層寬五肘，中層寬六肘，上層寬七肘。殿外旁屋的樑木擱在殿牆坎上，免得插入殿牆。

The under side [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [part] six, and the third [was] seven cubits broad; for he formed an interval to the house round about without the house, that they might not touch the walls of the house.

7 建殿是用山中鑿成的石頭。建殿的時候，鎚子、斧子，和別樣鐵器的響聲都沒有聽見。

And the house was built in the construction of it with rough hewn stones: and there was not heard in the house in the building of it hammer or axe, or any iron tool.

8 在殿右邊當中的旁屋有門，門內有旋螺的樓梯，可以上到第二層，從第二層可以上到第三層。

And the porch of the under side [was] below the right wing of the house, and [there was] a winding ascent into the middle [chamber], and from the middle to the third story.

9 所羅門建殿，安置香柏木的棟樑，又用香柏木板遮蓋。

So he built the house and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house with cedars.

10 靠着殿所造的旁屋，每層高五肘，香柏木的棟樑擱在殿牆坎上。

And he made the partitions through all the house, each five cubits high, and enclosed each partition with cedar boards.

11 耶和華的話臨到所羅門說：

12 「論到你所建的這殿，你若遵行我的律例，謹守我的典章，遵從我的一切誡命，我必向你應驗我所應許你父親大衛的話。

13 我必住在以色列人中間，並不丟棄我民以色列。」

14 所羅門建造殿宇。

15 殿裏面用香柏木板貼牆，從地到棚頂都用木板遮蔽，又用松木板鋪地。

And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.

16 內殿，就是至聖所，長二十肘，從地到棚頂用香柏木板遮蔽。

And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place.

17 內殿前的外殿，長四十肘。

And the temple was forty cubits [in extent],

18 殿裏一點石頭都不顯露，一概用香柏木遮蔽；上面刻着野瓜和初開的花。

19 殿裏預備了內殿，好安放耶和華的約櫃。

in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, [in order] to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

20 內殿長二十肘，寬二十肘，高二十肘，牆面都貼上精金；又用香柏木做壇，包上精金。

The length [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth [was] twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.

21 所羅門用精金貼了殿內的牆，又用金鍊子掛在內殿前門扇，用金包裹。

And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished [gilding] the whole house.

22 全殿都貼上金子，直到貼完；內殿前的壇，也都用金包裹。

23 他用橄欖木做兩個基路伯，各高十肘，安在內殿。

And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.

24 這一個基路伯有兩個翅膀，各長五肘，從這翅膀尖到那翅膀尖共有十肘；

And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.

25 那一個基路伯的兩個翅膀也是十肘，兩個基路伯的尺寸、形像都是一樣。

Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure.

26 這基路伯高十肘，那基路伯也是如此。

And the height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] with the second cherub.

27 他將兩個基路伯安在內殿裏；基路伯的翅膀是張開的，這基路伯的一個翅膀挨着這邊的牆，那基路伯的一個翅膀挨着那邊的牆，裏邊的兩個翅膀在殿中間彼此相接；

And both the cherubs [were] in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.

28 又用金子包裹二基路伯。

And he covered the cherubs with gold.

29 內殿、外殿周圍的牆上都刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花。

He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and [he sculptured] palm trees within and without [the house].

30 內殿、外殿的地板都貼上金子。

And he covered the floor of the house within and without with gold.

31 又用橄欖木製造內殿的門扇、門楣、門框；門口有牆的五分之一。

And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, [there were] porches in a four-fold way.

32 在橄欖木做的兩門扇上刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花，都貼上金子。

33 又用橄欖木製造外殿的門框，門口有牆的四分之一。

34 用松木做門兩扇。這扇分兩扇，是摺疊的；那扇分兩扇，也是摺疊的。

In both the doors [were] planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned [on hinges],

35 上面刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花，都用金子貼了。

being carved with cherubs, and [there were] palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it [was] overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.

36 他又用鑿成的石頭三層、香柏木一層建築內院。

And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about, and he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.

37 所羅門 在位第四年西弗月，立了耶和華殿的根基。

38 到十一年布勒月，就是八月，殿和一切屬殿的都按着樣式造成。他建殿的工夫共有七年。
