1 Kings 6

1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.

1 所罗门在做以色列王的第四年二月，即西弗月，开始为耶和华建殿。那时正是以色列人离开埃及后第四百八十年。

2 The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

2 所罗门王为耶和华建造的殿长二十七米，宽九米，高十三米半。

3 The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits long, extending across the width of the temple and projecting out ten cubits in front of the temple.

3 殿前的门廊和殿一样宽九米，进深四米半。

4 He also had narrow windows framed high in the temple.

4 殿有格子窗户。

5 Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms.

5 靠殿墙、围着外殿和内殿又造了三层厢房，

6 The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.

6 底层宽两米二，中层宽两米七，上层宽三米一。厢房的横梁都搭在殿墙突出的地方，免得插入殿墙。

7 The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.

7 建殿的石头都在采石场凿好了，建殿的时候听不到锤子、斧头或其他铁器的响声。

8 The entrance to the bottom floor was on the south side of the temple. A stairway led up to the middle level, and from there to the third floor.

8 底层厢房的进口在殿的南面，沿着一道螺旋楼梯可以通到第二层和第三层。

9 So Solomon built the temple and finished it, roofing it with beams and planks of cedar.

9 殿建成后，殿顶装上香柏木的梁木和木板。

10 He built chambers all along the temple, each five cubits high and attached to the temple with beams of cedar.

10 靠着殿墙所造的厢房每一层高两米二，用香柏木的梁木与殿墙接连起来。

11 Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:

11 耶和华对所罗门说：

12 “As for this temple you are building, if you walk in My statutes, carry out My ordinances, and keep all My commandments by walking in them, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.

12 “关于你所建的这殿，若你遵行我的律例，顺从我的典章，谨守我的一切诫命，我必实现我对你父亲大卫的应许。

13 And I will dwell among the Israelites and will not abandon My people Israel.”

13 我必住在以色列人当中，不抛弃我的以色列子民。”

14 So Solomon built the temple and finished it.

14 所罗门建造的殿落成了。

15 He lined the interior walls with cedar paneling from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and he covered the floor with cypress boards.

15 殿里的墙壁和天花板都铺上了香柏木，地面都铺上了松木板。

16 He partitioned off the twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

16 在殿的后部，从地面至天花板用香柏木板隔出长九米的内殿，就是至圣所。

17 And the main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.

17 在至圣所外面是外殿，长十八米。

18 The cedar paneling inside the temple was carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; not a stone could be seen.

18 殿内全部铺上香柏木，不露一点石头，香柏木上刻着野瓜和花朵的图案。

19 Solomon also prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.

19 殿的至圣所用来安放耶和华的约柜。

20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.

20 至圣所长、宽和高都是九米，里面全贴上纯金，香柏木造的祭坛也包上纯金。

21 So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.

21 殿内全部贴上纯金，至圣所前面有金链拦着，至圣所内也都贴上纯金。

22 So he overlaid with gold the whole interior of the temple, until everything was completely finished. He also overlaid with gold the entire altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.

22 殿内都贴上纯金，至圣所内的祭坛也都包上纯金。

23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim, each ten cubits high, out of olive wood.

23 至圣所里面放着两个橄榄木造的基路伯天使，各高四米半，

24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing was five cubits long as well. So the full wingspan was ten cubits.

24 各有两个两米二长的翅膀，双翅展开，两翅尖相距四米半。

25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same size and shape,

25 两个基路伯的大小和形状一模一样，

26 and the height of each cherub was ten cubits.

26 高度都是四米半。

27 And he placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple. Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.

27 他将两个基路伯安在至圣所内，两个基路伯展开翅膀，各有一个翅膀在至圣所的中央相接，另一个翅膀的尖端触到墙壁。

28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.

28 这两个基路伯天使也包上金。

29 Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.

29 内殿和外殿的墙壁都刻上基路伯天使、棕树和花朵的图案，

30 And he overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and outer sanctuaries.

30 地板是铺金的。

31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.

31 至圣所的门、门楣和门柱都是橄榄木造的，门柱呈五角形。

32 The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.

32 两扇用橄榄木造的门上都刻着基路伯天使、棕树和花朵的图案，并包上金。

33 In the same way he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the sanctuary entrance.

33 外殿的四角形门柱也是用橄榄木造的，

34 The two doors were made of cypress wood, and each had two folding panels.

34 两扇门是松木造的，每一扇门都分为可折叠的两片，

35 He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.

35 上面刻着基路伯天使、棕树和花朵的图案，并均匀地包上金。

36 Solomon built the inner courtyard with three rows of dressed stone and one row of trimmed cedar beams.

36 内院的墙是由三层凿好的石头和一层香柏木建的。

37 The foundation of the house of the LORD was laid in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in the month of Ziv.

37 耶和华的殿在所罗门执政第四年的西弗月奠基，

38 In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in every detail and according to every specification. So he built the temple in seven years.

38 在他执政的第十一年的布勒月，即八月全部按规格建成，历经七年。
