2 Chronicles 3

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 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 Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.

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

3 The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.

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

4 The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.

4 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 He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.

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

6 He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.

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

7 He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.

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

8 Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.

8 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 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

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

10 In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.

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

11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.

11 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 The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.

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

13 So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.

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

14 He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.

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

15 In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.

15 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 He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.

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

17 Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.

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