2 Chronicles 3

1 And Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where he appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

١ وَأَخَذَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ الْيَبُوسِيِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى جَبَلِ الْمُرَيَّا، حَيْثُ تَرَاءَى الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَحَيْثُ وَقَعَ اخْتِيَارُ دَاوُدَ عَلَى مَكَانِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

2 And he began to build on the second of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

٢ وَشَرَعَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ.

3 And this was Solomon's foundation for the construction of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

٣ أَمَّا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ فَكَانَ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً) طُولاً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) عَرْضاً.

4 And the porch which was in front was twenty cubits in length, in front of the house broadways, and the height was a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

٤ وَكَانَ طُولُ الرُّوَاقِ الْقَائِمِ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) مُعَادِلاً لِعَرْضِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَارْتِفَاعُهُ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّينَ مِتْراً)، وَقَدْ غَشَّاهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِالذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

5 And the greater house he boarded with cypress-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm-trees and chains.

٥ وَغَطَّى الْجُدْرَانَ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ بِخَشَبِ السَّرْوِ وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، نَقَشَ عَلَيْهَا أَشْكَالَ نَخِيلٍ وَسَلاسِلَ.

6 And he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty; and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

٦ وَجَمَّلَ الْهَيْكَلَ فَرَصَّعَهُ بِحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ، أَمَّا الذَّهَبُ الْمُسْتَخْدَمُ فَكَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبِ فَرَوَايِمَ.

7 And he covered the house, the beams, the threshold, and its walls, and its doors with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls.

٧ وَغَشَّى أَخْشَابَ الْبَيْتِ وَعَتَبَاتِهِ وَحَوَائِطَهُ وَمَصَارِيعَهُ بِذَهَبٍ وَنَقَشَ كَرُوبِيمَ عَلَى الْجُدْرَانِ.

8 And he made the house of the most holy place, the length of which was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

٨ وَشَيَّدَ مِحْرَابَ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ فَكَانَ طُولُهُ مُسَاوِياً لِعَرْضِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَكَانَ مُرَبَّعَ الشَّكْلِ، طُولُهُ يُعَادِلُ عَرْضَهُ، عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً فِي عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (أَيْ نَحْوُ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ فِي عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَغَشَّاهُ بِسِتِّ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ وَاحِدٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ.

9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he covered the upper chambers with gold.

٩ وَكَانَ وَزْنُ مَسَامِيرِ الذَّهَبِ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ جِرَامٍ)، وَغَشَّى أَجْزَاءَهُ الْعُلْيَا بِالذَّهَبِ.

10 And in the house of the most holy place he made two cherubim of image work, and they overlaid them with gold.

١٠ وَصَاغَ سُلَيْمَانُ كَرُوبَيْنِ (وَهُمَا تِمْثَالانِ لِمَلاكَيْنِ) غَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ، وَوَضَعَهُمَا فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ.

11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house; and the other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the other cherub.

١١ وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ جَنَاحٍ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ الكَرُوبَيْنِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). وَمَسَّ طَرَفُ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبيِمِ الْخَارِجِيِّ جِدَارَ الْهَيْكَلِ أَمَّا طَرَفُهُ الدَّاخِلِيُّ فَتَلامَسَ مَعَ طَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الآخَرِ.

12 And the wing of the other cherub of five cubits touched the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits joining the wing of the other cherub.

١٢ وَكَذَلِكَ مَسَّ طَرَفُ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الثَّانِي الْخَارِجِيِّ جِدَارَ الْهَيْكَلِ أَمَّا طَرَفُ الْجَنَاحِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ فَتَلامَسَ مَعَ طَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الأَوَّلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ.

13 The wings of these cherubim spread forth were twenty cubits; and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.

١٣ وَكَانَ هَذَانِ الكَرُوبَانِ مُنْتَصِبَيْنِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمَا فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ المِحْرَابِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى امْتِدَادِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

14 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and byssus, and made cherubim upon it.

١٤ وَصَنَعَ الْحِجَابَ (الْفَاصِلَ بَيْنَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَبَقِيَّةِ الْهَيْكَلِ) مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقِ اللَّوْنِ وَبَنَفْسَجِيٍّ وَأَحْمَرَ وَكَتَّانٍ، طُرِّزَ عَلَيْهِ رَسْمُ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

15 And before the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits long; and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

١٥ وَأَقَامَ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ عَمُودَيْنِ، طُولُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلاثُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمَا تَاجَيْنِ، ارْتِفَاعُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

16 And he made chains [as] in the oracle, and he put them on the top of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

١٦ وَصَنَعَ سَلاسِلَ مَضْفُورَةً مُمَاثِلَةً لِسَلاسِلِ الْمِحْرَابِ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى رَأْسَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ، كَمَا صَنَعَ مِئَةَ رُمَّانَةٍ عَلَّقَهَا بِالسَّلاسِلِ.

17 And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; and he called the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

١٧ وَنَصَبَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَاحِداً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَدَعَاهُ يَاكِينَ، وَالآخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَدَعاهُ بُوعَزَ.
