列王紀上 7
1 所羅門為自己建造宮室，十三年方才造成；
And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house, and he finished all his house.
2 又建造黎巴嫩林宮，長一百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘，有香柏木柱三行，柱上有香柏木柁樑。
For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon. The length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 其上以香柏木為蓋，每行柱子十五根，共有四十五根。
And it was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were upon the pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。
And there were beams in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.
5 所有的門框都是厚木見方的，有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。
And all the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three ranks.
6 並建造有柱子的廊子，長五十肘，寬三十肘；在這廊前又有廊子，廊外有柱子和臺階。
And he made the porch of pillars. The length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it thirty cubits, and a porch in front of them, and pillars and a threshold in front of them.
7 又建造一廊，其中設立審判的座位，這廊從地到頂都用香柏木遮蔽。
And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment. And it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
8 廊後院內有所羅門住的宮室；工作與這工作相同。所羅門又為所娶法老的女兒建造一宮，做法與這廊子一樣。
And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch was of the like work. He also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like this porch.
9 建造這一切所用的石頭都是寶貴的，是按着尺寸鑿成的，是用鋸裏外鋸齊的；從根基直到檐石，從外頭直到大院，都是如此。
All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
10 根基是寶貴的大石頭，有長十肘的，有長八肘的；
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 上面有香柏木和按着尺寸鑿成寶貴的石頭。
And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.
12 大院周圍有鑿成的石頭三層、香柏木一層，都照耶和華殿的內院和殿廊的樣式。
And the great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.
13 所羅門王差遣人往泰爾去，將戶蘭召了來。
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 他是拿弗他利支派中一個寡婦的兒子，他父親是泰爾人，作銅匠的。戶蘭滿有智慧、聰明、技能，善於各樣銅作。他來到所羅門王那裏，做王一切所要做的。
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a workman in brass. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 他製造兩根銅柱，每根高十八肘，圍十二肘；
For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece. And a line of twelve cubits encompassed each of them around.
16 又用銅鑄了兩個柱頂安在柱上，各高五肘。
And he made two capitals of molten brass to set upon the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17 柱頂上有裝修的網子和擰成的鍊索，每頂七個。
There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
18 網子周圍有兩行石榴遮蓋柱頂，兩個柱頂都是如此。
So he made the pillars. And there were two rows round about upon the one network to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars. And so he did for the other capital.
19 廊子的柱頂徑四肘，刻着百合花。
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.
20 兩柱頂的鼓肚上挨着網子，各有兩行石榴環繞，兩行共有二百。
And there were capitals also above upon the two pillars, close by the protuberance which was beside the network. And the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other capital.
21 他將兩根柱子立在殿廊前頭：右邊立一根，起名叫雅斤；左邊立一根，起名叫波阿斯。
And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar, and called the name of it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar, and called the name of it Boaz.
22 在柱頂上刻着百合花。這樣，造柱子的工就完畢了。
And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 他又鑄一個銅海，樣式是圓的，高五肘，徑十肘，圍三十肘。
And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits. And a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.
24 在海邊之下，周圍有野瓜的樣式；每肘十瓜，共有兩行，是鑄海的時候鑄上的。
And under the brim of it round about there were knops which encompassed it, for ten cubits, encompassing the sea round about. The knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
25 有十二隻銅牛馱海：三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東；海在牛上，牛尾都向內。
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. And the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，又如百合花，可容二千罷特。
And it was a handbreadth thick. And the brim of it was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.
27 他用銅製造十個盆座，每座長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。
And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it.
28 座的造法是這樣：四面都有心子，心子在邊子當中，
And the work of the bases was on this manner: They had panels, and there were panels between the ledges.
29 心子上有獅子和牛，並基路伯；邊上有小座，獅子和牛以下有垂下的瓔珞。
And on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim. And upon the ledges there was a pedestal above. And beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
30 每盆座有四個銅輪和銅軸。小座的四角上在盆以下，有鑄成的盆架，其旁都有瓔珞。
And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass. And the four corners of it had supports. Beneath the laver were the molten supports with wreaths at the side of each.
31 小座高一肘，口是圓的，彷彿座的樣式，徑一肘半，在口上有雕工，心子是方的，不是圓的。
And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit. And the mouth of it was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half. And also upon the mouth of it were engravings. And their panels were foursquare, not round.
32 四個輪子在心子以下，輪軸與座相連，每輪高一肘半。
And the four wheels were underneath the panels. And the axletrees of the wheels were in the base. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 輪的樣式如同車輪；軸、輞、輻、轂都是鑄的。
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
34 每座四角上都有盆架，是與座一同鑄成的。
And there were four supports at the four corners of each base. The supports of it were of the base itself.
35 座上有圓架，高半肘；座上有撐子和心子，是與座一同鑄的。
And in the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high. And on the top of the base the ledges of it and the panels of it were of the same.
36 在撐子和心子上刻着基路伯、獅子，和棕樹，周圍有瓔珞。
And on the plates of the ledges of it, and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
37 十個盆座都是這樣，鑄法、尺寸、樣式相同。
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
38 又用銅製造十個盆，每盆可容四十罷特。盆徑四肘，在那十座上，每座安設一盆。
And he made ten basins of brass. One basin contained forty baths. And every basin was four cubits. And upon every one of the ten bases one basin.
39 五個安在殿門的右邊，五個放在殿門的左邊；又將海放在殿門的右旁，就是南邊。
And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
40 戶蘭又造了盆、鏟子，和盤子。這樣，他為所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工。
And Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:
41 所造的就是：兩根柱子和柱上兩個如球的頂；並兩個蓋柱頂的網子；
the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,
42 和四百石榴，安在兩個網子上，每網兩行，蓋着兩個柱上如球的頂；
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars,
43 十個座和其上的十個盆；
and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases,
44 海和海下的十二隻牛；
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea,
45 盆、鏟子、盤子。這一切都是戶蘭給所羅門王用光亮的銅為耶和華的殿造成的，
and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah were of burnished brass.
46 是遵王命在約旦平原、疏割和撒拉但中間藉膠泥鑄成的。
The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 這一切所羅門都沒有過秤；因為甚多，銅的輕重也無法可查。
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were very many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.
48 所羅門又造耶和華殿裏的金壇和陳設餅的金桌子；
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold,
49 內殿前的精金燈臺：右邊五個，左邊五個，並其上的金花、燈盞、蠟剪，
and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold, and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold,
50 與精金的杯、盤、鑷子、調羹、火鼎，以及至聖所、內殿的門樞，和外殿的門樞。
and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold, and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, namely, of the temple, of gold.
51 所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工，就把他父大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿都帶來放在耶和華殿的府庫裏。
Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated-the silver, and the gold, and the vessels-and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.
