1 S olomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all of it.

وَبَنَى المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ أيضاً قَصْراً له اسْتَغرَقَ بِناؤُهُ ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

2 H e built also the Forest of Lebanon House; its length was a hundred cubits, its breadth fifty, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

وَبَنَى أيضاً بِنايَةً سَمّاها «بَيْتَ غابَةِ لُبْنانَ.» وَكانَ طُولُها مِئَةَ ذِراعٍ، وَعَرْضُها خَمِسِينَ ذِراعاً، وَارتِفاعُها ثَلاثينَ ذِراعاً. وَكانَ لَها أربَعَةُ صُفُوفٍ مِنْ أعمِدَةِ الأرْزِ. وَكانَ عَلَى كُلِّ عَمُودٍ تاجٌ مِنَ الأرْزِ.

3 A nd it was covered with cedar above the side chambers that were upon the forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.

وَوَضَعُوا خَمسَةً وَأربَعِينَ لَوحاً مِنْ خَشَبِ الأرْزِ عَلَى هَذِهِ العَوارِضِ لِلسَّقفِ. خَمسَةَ عَشْرَ لَوحاً فَوقَ كُلِّ صَفٍّ مِنَ الأعمِدَةِ.

4 T here were window frames in three rows, and window opposite window in three tiers.

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ ثَلاثَةُ صُفُوفٍ مِنَ النَّوافِذِ المُتَقابِلَةِ عَلَى كُلِّ جانِبٍ مِنْ جَوانِبِ الجُدرانِ.

5 A ll the doorways and windows were square cut, and window was opposite window in three tiers.

وَكانَ هُناكَ ثَلاثَةُ أبوابٍ فِي كُلِّ طَرَفٍ. وَكانَتْ كُلُّ فُتُحاتِ الأبوابِ وَالقَوائِمِ مُرَبَّعَةَ الشَّكلِ.

6 H e also made the Hall of Pillars; its length was fifty cubits and its breadth thirty cubits. There was a porch in front, and pillars and a cornice before them.

وَبَنَى سُلَيْمانُ أيضاً «قاعَةَ الأَعْمِدَةِ» فَكانَ طُولُها خَمسِينَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضُها ثَلاثِينَ ذراعاً. وَعَلَى طُولِ المِنطَقَةِ الأمامِيَّةِ مِنَ القّاعَةِ، كانَ هُناكَ سَقفٌ مَدعُومٌ بِأعمِدَةٍ.

7 H e made the porch for the throne where he was to judge, the Porch of Judgment; it was covered with cedar from floor to ceiling.

وَبَنَى سُلَيْمانُ أيضاً قاعَةَ عَرشٍ يَقضِي فِيها بَينَ النّاسِ، سَمّاها «قاعَةَ القَضاءِ.» وَكانَتْ هَذِهِ القاعَةُ مُغَطّاةً بِخَشَبِ الأرْزِ مِنَ الأرْضِيَّةِ إلَى السَّقفِ،

8 H is house where he was to dwell had another court behind the Porch of Judgment of similar work. Solomon also made a house like this porch for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.

وَخَلْفَ قاعَةِ القَضاءِ كانَتْ تَقَعُ ساحَةٌ بُنِيَ حَولَها مَسكِنُ سُلَيْمانَ الَّذِي شابَهَ بِناؤُهُ بِناءَ «قاعَةِ القَضاءِ.» وَبَنَى سُلَيْمانُ أيضاً بَيتاً مُماثِلاً مِنْ أجلِ زَوجَتِهِ، ابْنَةِ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ.

9 A ll were of costly stones hewn according to measure, sawed with saws back and front, even from foundation to coping, and from the outside to the great court.

بُنِيَتْ كُلُّ هَذِهِ الأبنِيَةِ بِحِجارةٍ ثَمِينَةٍ قُطِعَتِ بِمَناشِيرَ، وَنُحِتَتْ مِنَ الأمامِ وَمِنَ الخَلفِ، وَفْقَ مَقاييسَ مُحَدَّدَةٍ. وَامتَدَّتْ الحِجارَةُ مِنَ الأساسِ إلَى أعلَى طَبَقَةٍ فِي الجِدارِ. وَمِنَ الخارِجِ حَتَّى السّاحَةِ الكَبِيرَةِ.

10 T he foundation was of costly stones, even great stones of eight and ten cubits.

بُنِيَ الأساسُ بِحِجارَةٍ ثَمِينَةٍ ضَخمَةٍ وَصَلَتْ أبعادُها إلَى ثَمانِي أذرُعٍ وَعَشْرِ أذرُعٍ.

11 A nd above were costly stones hewn according to measure, and cedar timbers.

وَانتَصَبَتْ فَوقَ هَذِهِ الطَّوابِقِ حِجارَةٌ ثَمِينَةٌ وَأعمِدَةٌ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأرْزِ.

12 A lso the great encircling court had three courses of hewn stone and a course of cedar beams, like was around the inner court of the house of the Lord and the porch of the house.

وَأحاطَتْ أسوارٌ بِساحَةِ القَصْرِ، وَالسّاحَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ لِبَيتِ اللهِ ، وَدِهلِيزِ الهَيكَلِ. بُنِيَتِ الأسْوارُ مِنْ ثَلاثَةِ صُفُوفٍ مِنَ الحِجارَةِ، وَصَفٍّ واحِدٍ مِنْ عَوارِضِ الأرْزِ.

13 K ing Solomon brought Hiram from Tyre.

وَاسْتَدْعَى المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ رَجُلاً اسْمُهُ حُورامُ مِنْ صُورَ، وَاسْتَقبَلَهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ القُدْسِ.

14 H e was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. He was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill to do any kind of work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

وَهُوَ ابْنُ أرمَلَةٍ مِنْ قَبِيلَةِ نَفْتالِي. وَكانَ أبُوهُ مِنْ صُورَ. وَكانَ حُورامُ ماهِراً جِدّاً وَمُتَمَرِّساً فِي العَمَلِ بِالبُرونْزِ. لِهَذا طَلَبَ مِنْهُ المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ أنْ يَأْتِيَ، فَقَبِلَ. فَعَيَّنَهُ سُلَيْمانُ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ كُلِّ الأعْمالِ البُرونْزِيَّةِ. فَصَنَعَ حُورامُ كُلَّ ما هُوَ مَصنُوعٌ مِنْ بُرونْزٍ.

15 H e fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference.

وَصَنَعَ حُورامُ عَمُودَينِ نُحاسِيَّينِ، ارتِفاعُ كُلٍّ مِنْها ثَمانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ذِراعاً وَمُحِيطُهُ اثنَتا عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً. وَكانَ العَمُودانِ مُفرَغَينِ مِنَ الدّاخِلِ، وَسُمْكُ جِدارِهِما شِبرٌ واحِدٌ.

16 H e made two capitals of molten bronze to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of each capital was five cubits.

وَصَنَعَ حُورامُ أيضاً تاجَينِ نُحاسِيَّينِ ارتِفاعُ الواحِدِ مِنْهُما خَمْسُ أذرُعٍ. وَوَضَعَ التّاجَينِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

17 N ets of checkerwork and wreaths of chainwork for the capitals were on the tops of the pillars, seven for each capital.

ثُمَّ صَنَعَ شَبَكَتَينِ مِنَ السَّلاسِلِ بِتَعارِيشَ مَجَدَّلَةٍ وَمُتَقاطِعَةٍ للتّاجَينِ اللَّذَينِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ، شَبَكَةً واحِدَةً لِكُلِّ عَمُودٍ.

18 S o Hiram made the pillars. There were two rows of pomegranates encircling each network to cover the capitals that were upon the top.

ثُمَّ صَنَعَ صَفَّينِ مِنَ البُرونْزِ عَلَى شَكلِ رُمّاناتٍ حَولَ كُلِّ تَعْريشَةٍ لِتَزيّينِ التّاجَينِ اللَّذَينِ فَوقَ الرُّماناتِ.

19 T he capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.

فَكانَ التّاجانِ عَلَى رَأْسِ العَمُودَينِ اللَّذَينِ ارتِفاعُهُما أربَعُ أذرُعٍ يُشْبِهانِ باقَتَينِ مِنَ الزُّهُورِ.

20 T he capitals were upon the two pillars and also above the rounded projection beside the network. There were 200 pomegranates in two rows round about, and so with the other capital.

وَقَفَ التّاجانِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ وَفَوْقَ البُرُوزِ المُنحَني إلَى جانِبِ التَّعرِيشَةِ. وَاصطَفَّتْ هُناكَ مِئَتَي رُمّانَةٍ فِي صُفُوفٍ حَولَ كُلِّ تاجٍ.

21 H iram set up the pillars of the porch of the temple; he set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz.

ثُمَّ نَصَبَ العَمُودَينِ فِي القاعَةِ أمامَ الهَيكَلِ. فَكانَ أحَدُهُما عَلَى الجانِبِ الأيمَنِ، وَالآخَرُ عَلَى الجانِبِ الأيسَرِ. وَسَمَّى العَمُودَ الأيْمَنَ «ياكِينَ،» وَالأيسَرَ «بُوعَزَ.»

22 O n the tops of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.

وَوَضَعَ التّاجَينِ المَصْنُوعَينِ عَلَى شَكلِ الزُّهُورِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ. فانتَهَى بِذَلِكَ العَمَلُ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

23 H e made a round molten Sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, five cubits high and thirty cubits in circumference.

ثُمَّ صَنَعَ حُورامُ خَزّاناً نُحاسِيّاً مُسْتَدِيراً سُمِّيَ «البَحْرَ.» فَكانَ مُحِيطُهُ ثَلاثِينَ ذِراعاً، وَقُطْرُهُ عَشَرَ أذرُعٍ وَعُمْقُهُ خَمْسَ أذرُعٍ.

24 U nder its brim were gourds encircling the Sea, ten to a cubit; the gourds were in two rows, cast in one piece with it.

وَكانَ هُناكَ إطارٌ حَولَ حافَّةِ الخَزّانِ. وَتَحتَ الإطارِ صَفّانِ مِنْ نَباتاتِ القَرْعِ البُرونْزِيَّةِ مُحِيطانِ بِالخَزّانِ، وَمَسبُوكَانِ قِطْعَةً واحِدَةً مَعَ الخَزّانِ.

25 I t stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three west, three south, and three east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their rears pointed inward.

وَكانَ الخَزّانُ قائِماً عَلَى ظُهُورِ اثنَي عَشَرَ ثَوْراً تَنْظُرُ بَعِيداً عَنِ الخَزّانِ: ثَلاثَةٌ تَنْظُرُ شِمالاً، وَثَلاثَةٌ جَنُوباً، وَثَلاثَةٌ غَرباً، وَثَلاثَةٌ شَرقاً.

26 I t was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held 2, 000 baths.

أمّا سُمْكُ الخَزّانِ فَكانَ شِبْراً واحِداً. وَكانَتِ القَناةُ المُحِيطَةُ بِالخَزّانِ أشبَهَ بِحافَّةِ كَأْسٍ، أوْ وُرَيقاتِ زَهْرَةٍ. وَيَتَّسِعُ الخَزَّانُ لِنَحْوِ ألفَي صَفِيحَةٍ.

27 H iram made ten bronze bases; their length and breadth were four cubits, and the height three cubits.

ثُمَّ صَنَعَ حُورامُ عَشَرَ عَرَباتٍ برُونزِيَّةٍ طُولُ الواحِدَةِ أربَعُ أذرُعٍ، وَعَرْضُها أربَعُ أذرُعٍ، وَارتِفاعُها أربَعُ أذرُعٍ.

28 T his is the way the bases were made: they had panels between the ledges.

وَقَدْ صُنِعَتِ العَرَباتُ مِنْ ألواحٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ مَرصُوفَةٍ فِي أُطُرٍ.

29 O n the panels between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above. Beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

وَعَلَى الألواحِ وَالأُطُرِ نُقِشَتْ أُسُودٌ وَثِيرانٌ وَمَلائِكَةُ كَرُوبِيمَ مِنْ بُرونْزٍ. وَفَوْقَ الأُسُودِ وَالثِّيرانِ وَتَحتَها رُسُومٌ لِزُهُورٍ مَطرُوقَةٍ فِي البُرونْزِ.

30 A nd every base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and at the four corners were supports for a laver. Beneath the laver the supports were cast, with wreaths at the side of each.

وَكانَتْ لِكُلِّ عَرَبَةٍ أربَعُ عَجَلاتٍ نُحاسِيَّةٍ لَها مَحاوِرُ نُحاسِيَّةٌ. وَعَلَى الزَّوايا دُعاماتٌ لِطاسَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ. وعَلى الدُّعاماتِ رُسُوماً لِزُهُورٍ مَطرُوقَةٍ فِي البُرونْزِ.

31 I ts mouth within the capital projected upward a cubit, and its mouth was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half. Also upon its mouth were carvings, and their borders were square, not round.

وَكانَ هُناكَ إطارٌ مِنْ فَوقِ الطّاسَةِ. وَعَلا الإطارُ الطّاساتِ بِذِراعٍ واحِدَةٍ. وَكانَتْ فُتْحَةُ الطّاسَةِ مُستَدِيرَةً قُطْرُها ذِراعٌ وَنِصْفٌ. وَنُقِشَتْ رُسُومٌ فِي الإطارِ البُرونْزِيِّ الَّذِي كانَ مُرَبَّعاً لا مُسْتَدِيراً.

32 U nder the borders were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were one piece with the base. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

وَتَحْتَ الإطارِ وَقَفَتْ أربَعُ عَجَلاتٍ قُطْرُ كُلِّ عَجَلَةٍ ذِراعٌ وَنِصْفٌ. صُنِعَتِ المَحاوِرُ بَينَ العَجَلاتِ كَقِطْعَةٍ واحِدَةٍ تُشَكِّلُ جُزءاً مِنَ العَرَبَةِ.

33 T he wheels were made like a chariot wheel: their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

كانَتِ العَجَلاتُ أشبَهَ بِعَرَباتِ مَرْكَبَةٍ حَقِيقِيَّةٍ. وَقَدْ صُنِعَ المَحاوِرَ وَالحَوافَّ وَعِصِيَّ الدَّوالِيبِ وَالمَراوِحُ مِنَ البُرونْزِ.

34 T here were four supports to the four corners of each base; the supports were part of the base itself.

كانَتِ الدُّعاماتُ الأربَعُ عَلَى الزَّوايا الأربَعِ مِنْ كُلِّ عَرَبَةٍ. وَكانتِ الدعامات وَالعرَبَةُ قِطعَةً واحِدَةٍ.

35 O n the top of the base there was a circular elevation half a cubit high, and on the top of the base its stays and panels were of one piece with it.

وَدارَ شَرِيطٌ نُحاسِيٌّ ضَيِّقٌ حَولَ القِسْمِ العُلوِيِّ مِنْ كُلِّ عَرَبَةٍ. وَقَدْ كانَ كَقِطْعَةٍ واحِدَةٍ مَعَ العَرَبَةِ.

36 A nd on the surface of its stays and its panels Hiram carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ جَوانِبُ العَرَبَةِ وَالأُطُرُ بِصُوَرِ مَلائِكَةِ الكَرُوبِيمَ وَأُسُودٍ وَأشجارِ نَخِيلٍ أينما وُجِدَ مَكانٌ. وَنُقِشَتْ زُهُورٌ عَلَى الإطارِ.

37 T hus he made the ten bases. They all had one casting, one measure, and one form.

وَصَنَعَ حُورامُ عَشْرَ عَرَباتٍ نُحاسِيَّةٍ مُتَطابِقَةٌ فِي قالِبٍ واحِدٍ. فَكانَ لَها نَفْسُ الحَجمِ وَالشَّكلِ.

38 T hen he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver held forty baths and measured four cubits, and there was one laver on each of the ten bases.

وَصَنَعَ حُورامُ أيضاً عَشْرَةَ أحواضٍ: حَوضاً لِكُلِّ واحِدَةٍ مِنَ العَرَباتِ العَشْرِ. وَكانَ قُطْرُ كُلُّ حَوْضٍ أربَعَ أذرُعٍ، وَيَتَّسِعُ لأربَعِينَ صَفِيحَةً.

39 H e put the bases five on the south side of the house and five on the north side; and he set the Sea at the southeast corner of the house.

وَوَضَعَ حُورامُ خَمْسَ عَرَباتٍ عَلَى الجانِبِ الجَنُوبِيِّ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ وَخَمْساً عَلَى الجانِبِ الشِّمالِيِّ. وَوَضَعَ الحَوضَ الكَبِيرَ فِي الزّاوِيَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ.

40 H iram made the lavers, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the Lord:

وَصَنَعَ حُورامُ قُدُوراً وَمَجارِفَ وَطاساتٍ صَغِيرَةً. فَأنهَى صُنْعَ كُلِّ ما طَلَبَ المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ مِنْهُ. وَفِي ما يَلِي قائِمَةٌ بِالأشياءِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها حُورامُ لِبَيتِ اللهِ:

41 T he two pillars; and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the two pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls;

عَمُودان، تاجانِ مُنحَنِيانِ عَلَى قِمَّةِ العَمُودَينِ، تَعريشَتانِ مُشَبَّكَتانِ حَولَ التّاجَينِ اللَّذَينِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

42 A nd the 400 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;

أربَعُ مِئَةِ رُمّانَةٍ لِلتَعريشَتَينِ، فِي صَفَّينِ مِنَ الرُّمّاناتِ لِكُلِّ تَعرِيشَةٍ حَولَ التّاجَينِ اللَّذَينِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

43 T he ten bases and the ten lavers on the bases;

عَشْرُ عَرَباتٍ وَعَلَى كُلٍّ مِنها حَوْضٌ.

44 O ne Sea, and the twelve oxen under it;

خَزّانٌ كَبِيرٌ قائِمُ عَلَى تَماثِيلِ اثنَي عَشَرَ ثَوْراً.

45 T he pots, the shovels, and the basins. All these vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze.

قُدُورٌ، مَجارِفُ صَّغِيرَةٌ، طاساتٌ صَّغِيرَةُ، صُّحُونٌ وَأطباقٌ لِبَيتِ اللهِ. صَنَعَ حُورامُ كُلَّ ما أرادَهُ المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ مِنْ بُرونْزٍ مَصقُولٍ.

46 I n the Jordan plain the king cast them, in clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

وَأمَرَ المَلِكُ بِأنْ تُصْنَعَ هَذِهِ الأشْياءُ فِي غَوْرِ الأُردُنِّ بَينَ سُكُّوتَ وَصَرْتانَ. فَسُبِكَتْ فِي قَوالِبَ فِي الأرْضِ.

47 S olomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were so many; the weight of the bronze was not found out.

وَلَمْ يَزِنْ سُلَيْمانُ كَمِّيَّةَ البُرونْزِ المُستَخدَمَةِ فِي صُنعِ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ لِكَثْرَتِها. فَلَمْ يُعْرَفْ وَزنُ البُرونْزِ المُسْتَخدَمِ.

48 S olomon made all the other vessels of the Lord’s house: the altar of gold; the table of gold for the showbread;

وَأمَرَ سُلَيْمانُ بِسَبكِ جَميعَ آنِيَةِ بَيتِ اللهِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَهِيَ: المَذبَحُ الذَّهَبِيُّ، المائِدَةُ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ حَيْثُ يُوضَعُ خُبزُ حَضرَةِ اللهِ،

49 T he lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the Holy of Holies; with the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold;

المنائِرُ المَسبُوكَةُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَقِيِّ: خَمْسُ مَنائِرَ إلَى الجانِبِ الجَنُوبِيِّ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ وَخَمْسٌ إلَى الجانِبِ الشِّمالِيِّ أمامَ قُدْسِ الأقداسِ، الزُّهُورُ، وَالمَصابِيحُ، وَالمَلاقِطُ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ،

50 T he cups, snuffers, basins, spoons, firepans—of pure gold; and the hinges of gold for the doors of the innermost room, the Holy of Holies, and for the doors of the Holy Place.

الطُّسُوسُ، وَأدَواتُ تَشذِيبِ الفَتائِلِ، وَالطُّسُوسُ الصَّغِيرَةُ، وَالمَقالِي، وَالمَجامِرُ المَصنُوعَةُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَقِيِّ. مَفاصِلُ الأبوابِ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ المُؤَدِّيَةِ إلَى الغُرْفَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ – أي قُدْسِ الأقداسِ، وَمَفاصِلُ الأبوابِ المُؤَدِّيَةِ إلَى الغُرْفَةِ الرَّئِيسِيَّةِ فِي الهَيكَلِ.

51 S o all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the Lord was completed. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them in the treasuries of the Lord’s house.

وَهَكَذا أنهَى المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ كُلَّ ما خَطَّطَ لِعَمَلِهِ لِبَيتِ اللهِ. ثُمَّ أحْضَرَ سُلَيْمانُ كُلَّ ما كانَ أبُوهُ داوُدُ قَدْ خَزَنَهُ لِهَذا الهَدَفِ إلَى الهَيكَلِ. وَوَضَعَ الفِضَّةَ وَالذَّهَبَ فِي خَزائِنَ فِي بَيتِ اللهِ.
