1 و َبَنَى المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ أيضاً قَصْراً له اسْتَغرَقَ بِناؤُهُ ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

¶ But Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2 و َبَنَى 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.

He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon, which was one hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

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

And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.

4 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ ثَلاثَةُ صُفُوفٍ مِنَ النَّوافِذِ المُتَقابِلَةِ عَلَى كُلِّ جانِبٍ مِنْ جَوانِبِ الجُدرانِ.

And there were windows in three orders, one against another in three orders.

5 و َكانَ هُناكَ ثَلاثَةُ أبوابٍ فِي كُلِّ طَرَفٍ. وَكانَتْ كُلُّ فُتُحاتِ الأبوابِ وَالقَوائِمِ مُرَبَّعَةَ الشَّكلِ.

And all the doors and posts were square, with some windows opposite the other windows in three orders.

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

And he made a porch of pillars, which was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and the porch was before those others, with its corresponding pillars and thick beams.

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

Then he made a porch for the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8 و َخَلْفَ 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.

And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of like work. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

9 ب ُنِيَتْ 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.

All these works were of costly stones, cut and sawed with saws according to the measurements, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.

10 ب ُنِيَ الأساسُ بِحِجارَةٍ ثَمِينَةٍ ضَخمَةٍ وَصَلَتْ أبعادُها إلَى ثَمانِي أذرُعٍ وَعَشْرِ أذرُعٍ.

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

11 و َانتَصَبَتْ فَوقَ هَذِهِ الطَّوابِقِ حِجارَةٌ ثَمِينَةٌ وَأعمِدَةٌ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأرْزِ.

And above were also costly stones, hewed according to their measurements, and work of cedar.

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

And the great court round about had three orders of hewed stones and an order of cedar beams, and likewise the inner court of the house of the LORD and the porch of the house.

13 و َاسْتَدْعَى المَلِكُ سُلَيْمانُ رَجُلاً اسْمُهُ حُورامُ مِنْ صُورَ، وَاسْتَقبَلَهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ القُدْسِ.

¶ And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre,

14 و َهُوَ 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.

who was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been of Tyre. A worker in brass, full of wisdom and intelligence and knowledge in all work of brass. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

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

He made two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece, and a line of twelve cubits did compass each of them about.

16 و َصَنَعَ حُورامُ أيضاً تاجَينِ نُحاسِيَّينِ ارتِفاعُ الواحِدِ مِنْهُما خَمْسُ أذرُعٍ. وَوَضَعَ التّاجَينِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits.

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

And nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the chapiters which were to be placed upon the top of the pillars, seven for the one chapiter and seven for the other chapiter.

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

And when he had made the pillars, he also made two orders of pomegranates round about upon the network to cover the chapiters that were upon the heads of the pillars with the pomegranates, and so did he for the other chapiter.

19 ف َكانَ التّاجانِ عَلَى رَأْسِ العَمُودَينِ اللَّذَينِ ارتِفاعُهُما أربَعُ أذرُعٍ يُشْبِهانِ باقَتَينِ مِنَ الزُّهُورِ.

And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were in the form of lilies like those seen in the porch, for four cubits.

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

And the chapiters upon the two pillars had two hundred pomegranates in two orders round about in each chapiter, on top of the belly of the chapiter, this belly being in front of the network.

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

And he stood up the pillars in the porch of the temple. And when he had set up the right pillar, he called the name of it Jachin; and in standing up the left pillar, he called its name Boaz.

22 و َوَضَعَ التّاجَينِ المَصْنُوعَينِ عَلَى شَكلِ الزُّهُورِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ. فانتَهَى بِذَلِكَ العَمَلُ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

And upon the top of the pillars was lily work, and so the work of the pillars was finished.

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

Likewise, he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other; it was perfectly round, and its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

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

And under the brim of it round about there were knops like gourds compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about in two orders, which were made when it was cast.

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

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north and three looking toward the west and three looking toward the Negev and three looking toward the east; and upon them the sea rested, and all their hinder parts were inward.

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

And it was a hand breadth thick, and its lip was made like the lip of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths.

27 ث ُمَّ صَنَعَ حُورامُ عَشَرَ عَرَباتٍ برُونزِيَّةٍ طُولُ الواحِدَةِ أربَعُ أذرُعٍ، وَعَرْضُها أربَعُ أذرُعٍ، وَارتِفاعُها أربَعُ أذرُعٍ.

He also made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of each base and four cubits the width and three cubits the height.

28 و َقَدْ صُنِعَتِ العَرَباتُ مِنْ ألواحٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ مَرصُوفَةٍ فِي أُطُرٍ.

And the work of the bases was like this: they had borders, and the borders were between mouldings;

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

and upon the borders that were between the mouldings were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the mouldings of the base, above and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of bevelled work.

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

And each base had four brasen wheels and cardinals of brass, and in its four corners it had shoulderpieces, which were molten at the side of each addition, to be under the laver.

31 و َكانَ 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.

Its mouth entered into the chapiter (in the joint that came out of the base) one cubit above, and its mouth was rounded like the workmanship (of the same joint) in the base, of a cubit and a half. There were also engravings upon the mouth of it with their borders, which were square, not round.

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

And under the borders were the four wheels, and the axletrees of the wheels came forth from the same base. The height of each wheel was one and a half cubits.

33 ك انَتِ العَجَلاتُ أشبَهَ بِعَرَباتِ مَرْكَبَةٍ حَقِيقِيَّةٍ. وَقَدْ صُنِعَ المَحاوِرَ وَالحَوافَّ وَعِصِيَّ الدَّوالِيبِ وَالمَراوِحُ مِنَ البُرونْزِ.

And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel, their axletrees and their rims and their spokes and their hubs were all molten.

34 ك انَتِ الدُّعاماتُ الأربَعُ عَلَى الزَّوايا الأربَعِ مِنْ كُلِّ عَرَبَةٍ. وَكانتِ الدعامات وَالعرَبَةُ قِطعَةً واحِدَةٍ.

Likewise, the four shoulderpieces to the four corners of each base, and the shoulderpieces were of the very base itself.

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

And in the top of the base there was a rounded compass of half a cubit high and on the top of the base, its mouldings and borders which were part of it.

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

For on the tables of the mouldings and on the borders thereof, he made cherubim, lions, and palm trees, in front of the additions of each one round about.

37 و َصَنَعَ حُورامُ عَشْرَ عَرَباتٍ نُحاسِيَّةٍ مُتَطابِقَةٌ فِي قالِبٍ واحِدٍ. فَكانَ لَها نَفْسُ الحَجمِ وَالشَّكلِ.

After this manner he made ten bases cast in the same manner, of the same size and of the same shape.

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

Then he also made ten lavers of brass; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver measured four cubits; and he set a laver upon each one of the ten bases.

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

And he put five bases 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 to the east towards the Negev.

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

Hiram made the lavers and the shovels and the basins likewise. So Hiram finished all the work that he made King Solomon for the house of the LORD:

41 ع َمُودان، تاجانِ مُنحَنِيانِ عَلَى قِمَّةِ العَمُودَينِ، تَعريشَتانِ مُشَبَّكَتانِ حَولَ التّاجَينِ اللَّذَينِ عَلَى العَمُودَينِ.

That is, the two pillars and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the head of the pillars,

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

and four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two orders of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the heads of the pillars,

43 ع َشْرُ عَرَباتٍ وَعَلَى كُلٍّ مِنها حَوْضٌ.

and the ten bases and ten lavers upon the bases,

44 خ َزّانٌ كَبِيرٌ قائِمُ عَلَى تَماثِيلِ اثنَي عَشَرَ ثَوْراً.

and one sea and twelve oxen under the sea,

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

and the pots and the shovels and the basins and all the other vessels, which Hiram made to King Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.

46 و َأمَرَ المَلِكُ بِأنْ تُصْنَعَ هَذِهِ الأشْياءُ فِي غَوْرِ الأُردُنِّ بَينَ سُكُّوتَ وَصَرْتانَ. فَسُبِكَتْ فِي قَوالِبَ فِي الأرْضِ.

And the king caused them all to be cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

47 و َلَمْ يَزِنْ سُلَيْمانُ كَمِّيَّةَ البُرونْزِ المُستَخدَمَةِ فِي صُنعِ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ لِكَثْرَتِها. فَلَمْ يُعْرَفْ وَزنُ البُرونْزِ المُسْتَخدَمِ.

And Solomon did not inquire the weight of the brass of all the vessels because they were exceeding many.

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

¶ And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: an altar of gold, and a table upon which the showbread was, also of gold,

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

and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right hand, and five on the left, in front of the oracle, with the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold,

50 ا لطُّسُوسُ، 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.

likewise the bowls and the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the censers of pure gold, also the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple.

51 و َهَكَذا 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.

So all the work that King Solomon made for the house of the LORD was complete. And Solomon brought in the things which David, his father, had dedicated, even the silver and the gold and the vessels, and he kept it all in the treasury of the house of the LORD.
