1 و َبَدَأ سُلَيْمانُ فِي بِناءِ بَيتِ اللهِ فِي القُدسِ فِي جَبَلِ المُرِيّا حَيثُ كانَ اللهُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لِأبيه داوُدَ. وَهُوَ المَكانُ الَّذِي سَبَقَ أنْ أعَدَّهُ داوُدُ فِي بَيدَرِ أُرْنانَ اليَبُوسيِّ.

Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 ب َدَأ سُلَيْمانُ العَمَلَ فِي اليَومِ الثّانِي مِنَ الَّشَّهرِ الثّاني مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرّابِعَةِ لِتَوَلّيهِ الحُكمَ.

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

3 و َهَذِهِ هِيَ القياساتُ الَّتِي استَخدَمَها سُلَيْمانُ فِي بِناءِ أساسِ بَيتِ الله: كانَ طُولُ الأساسِ سِتِّينَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضُهُ عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً. وَقَدِ استُخْدِمَتْ وِحْدَةُ الذِّراعِ القَدِيمَةِ لِلقِياسِ.

Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

4 ك انَ طُولُ الدِّهلِيزِ الَّذِي أمامَ الهَيكَلِ عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً وَارتِفاعُهُ عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً. وَغَشَّى سُلَيْمانُ الجِدارَ الداخِلِيِّ لِلدِّهلِيزِ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

5 و َوَضَعَ سُلَيْمانُ ألواحاً مِنَ خَشَبِ السَّروِ عَلَى جُدرانِ الحُجْرَةِ الكُبْرَى، وَغَشّاها بذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، وَنَقَشَ عَلَيها صُوَراً لِأشجارِ نَخِيلٍ وَسَلاسِلَ.

And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

6 و َزَيَّنَ سُلَيْمانُ الهَيكَلَ بِحِجارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ. وَقَدِ اسْتَوْرَدَ سُلَيْمانُ الذَّهَبَ الَّذِي استَخدَمَهُ مِنْ فَروايِمَ.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

7 و َغَشَّى سُلَيْمانُ الهَيكَلَ بِالذَّهَبِ مِنَ الدّاخِلِ. غَشِّى جُسُورَ السَّقفِ وَالأعتابِ وَالجُدرانِ وَالأبوابِ بِالذَّهَبِ. وَنَقَشَ صُوَراً لِمَلائِكَةِ الكَرُوبِيمَ عَلَى الجُدرانِ.

He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.

8 ث ُمَّ عَمِلَ سُلَيْمانُ قُدسَ الأقداسِ. فَكانَ طُولُهُ عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضُهُ عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً. فَكانَ عَرضُهُ بِعَرضِ الهَيكَلِ. وَغَشَّى سُلَيْمانُ جُدرانَ قُدسِ الأقداسِ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ بَلَغَ وَزنُهُ سِتَّ مِئِةِ قِنْطارٍ.

And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

9 و َبَلَغَ وَزنُ مَسامِيرِ الذَّهَبِ خَمسِينَ مِثْقالاً. وَغَشَّى سُلَيْمانُ الغُرَفَ العُلْوِيَّةَ بِالذَّهَبِ.

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

10 و َصَنَعَ سُلَيْمانُ تِمْثالَينِ لِمَلاكَينِ كَرُوبَيْنَ فِي قُدسِ الأقداسِ، وَغَشّاهُما بِالذَّهَبِ.

And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

11 و َكانَ طُولُ كُلِّ جَناحٍ مِنْ أجنِحَةِ الكَرُوبِينَ خَمسَ أذرُعٍ، وَمَجمُوعُ أطوالِها عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً. كانَ الجَناحُ الأوَّلُ مُمتَدّاً لِيَلمِسَ الجِدارَ عَلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ الغُرفَةِ. أمّا الجَناحُ الآخَرُ فَيَلمِسُ جَناحَ الكَرُوبِ الآخَرِ.

And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

12 و َكانَ الجَناحُ الآخَرُ لِلكَرُوبِ الثّانِي، وَطُولُهُ خَمسَ أذرُعٍ، يَلمَسُ الجِدارَ الآخَرَ عَلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ الحُجْرَةِ.

And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

13 ف َكانَ مَجمُوعُ أطوالِ أجنِحَةِ الكَرُوبَينِ المُنْبَسِطَةِ عِشرِينَ ذِراعاً. وَكانَتْ عُيُونُهُما تَتَّجِهُ إلَى الدّاخِلِ نَحوَ قُدسِ الأقداسِ.

The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

14 و َعَمِلَ سُلَيْمانُ السِّتارَةَ مِنْ أقمِشَةٍ زَرقاءَ وَأُرجُوانيَّةٍ وَحَمراءَ وَكِتّانٍ فاخِرٍ. وَرَسَمَ عَلَى السِّتارَةِ مَلائِكَةَ كَرُوبِيمَ.

And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.

15 و َنَصَبَ سُلَيْمانُ عَمُودَينِ أمامَ الهَيكَلِ طُولُ كُلٍّ مِنها خَمسٌ وَثَلاثُونَ ذراعاً. وَكانَ طُولُ تاجَي العَمُودَينِ خَمسَ أذرُعٍ.

Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

16 و َصَنَعَ داوُدُ سَلاسِلَ عَلى شَكلِ قِلادَةٍ، وَوَضَعَ السَّلاسِلَ عَلَى مُحِيطِ تاجَي العَمُودَينِ. وَصَنَعَ سُلَيْمانُ مِئَةَ رُمّانَةٍ وَوَضَعَها عَلَى السَّلاسِلِ.

And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

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

And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
