Chapter 7

¹Now Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

¹所羅門為自己建造宮室，十三年方才造成；

²He built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was 100 cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

²又建造利巴嫩林宮，長一百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘，有香柏木柱三(原文作四)行，柱上有香柏木柁梁。

³It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the 45 pillars, 15 in each row.

³其上以香柏木為蓋，每行柱子十五根，共有四十五根。

⁴[There were artistic window] frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

⁴有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。

⁵All the doorways and doorposts [had] squared [artistic] frames, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

⁵所有的門框都是厚木見方的，有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。

⁶Then he made the hall of pillars; its length was 50 cubits and its width 30 cubits, and a porch [was] in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them.

⁶並建造有柱子的廊子，長五十肘，寬三十肘；在這廊前又有廊子，廊外有柱子和臺階。

⁷He made the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

⁷又建造一廊，其中設立審判的座位，這廊從地到頂都用香柏木遮蔽。

⁸His house where he was to live, the other court inward from the hall, was of the same workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had married.

⁸廊後院內有所羅門住的宮室；工作與這工作相同。所羅門又為所娶法老的女兒建造一宮，做法與這廊子一樣。

⁹All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

⁹建造這一切所用的石頭都是寶貴的，是按著尺寸鑿成的，是用鋸裡外鋸齊的；從根基直到檐石，從外頭直到大院，都是如此。

¹⁰The foundation was of costly stones, [even] large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

¹⁰根基是寶貴的大石頭，有長十肘的，有長八肘的；

¹¹And above were costly stones, stone cut according to measure, and cedar.

¹¹上面有香柏木和按著尺寸鑿成寶貴的石頭。

¹²So the great court all around [had] three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams even as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house.

¹²大院周圍有鑿成的石頭三層、香柏木一層，都照耶和華殿的內院和殿廊的樣式。

¹³Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.

¹³所羅門王差遣人往推羅去，將戶蘭召了來。

¹⁴He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

¹⁴他是拿弗他利支派中一個寡婦的兒子，他父親是推羅人，作銅匠的。戶蘭滿有智慧、聰明、技能，善於各樣銅作。他來到所羅門王那裡，做王一切所要做的。

¹⁵He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.

¹⁵他製造兩根銅柱，每根高十八肘，圍十二肘。

¹⁶He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

¹⁶又用銅鑄了兩個柱頂安在柱上，各高五肘。

¹⁷[There were] nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

¹⁷柱頂上有裝修的網子和擰成的鍊索，每頂七個。

¹⁸So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

¹⁸網子周圍有兩行石榴遮蓋柱頂，兩個柱頂都是如此。

¹⁹The capitals which [were] on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.

¹⁹廊子的柱頂徑四肘，刻著百合花。

²⁰[There were] capitals on the two pillars, even above [and] close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates [numbered] two hundred in rows around both capitals.

²⁰兩柱頂的鼓肚上挨著網子，各有兩行石榴環繞，兩行共有二百。

²¹Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.

²¹他將兩根柱子立在殿廊前頭：右邊立一根，起名叫雅斤；左邊立一根，起名叫波阿斯。

²²On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.

²²在柱頂上刻著百合花。這樣，造柱子的工就完畢了。

²³Now he made the sea of cast [metal] ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference.

²³他又鑄一個銅海，樣式是圓的，高五肘，徑十肘，圍三十肘。

²⁴Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest.

²⁴在海邊之下，周圍有野瓜的樣式；每肘十瓜，共有兩行，是鑄海的時候鑄上的。

²⁵It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea [was set] on top of them, and all their rear parts [turned] inward.

²⁵有十二隻銅牛馱海：三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東；海在牛上，牛尾都向內。

²⁶It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, [as] a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.

²⁶海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，又如百合花，可容二千罷特。

²⁷Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits.

²⁷他用銅製造十個盆座，每座長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。

²⁸This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames,

²⁸座的造法是這樣：四面都有心子，心子在邊子當中，

²⁹and on the borders which were between the frames [were] lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there [was] a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen [were] wreaths of hanging work.

²⁹心子上有獅子和牛，並基路伯；邊上有小座，獅子和牛以下有垂下的瓔珞。

³⁰Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin [were] cast supports with wreaths at each side.

³⁰每盆座有四個銅輪和銅軸。小座的四角上在盆以下，有鑄成的盆架，其旁都有瓔珞。

³¹Its opening inside the crown at the top [was] a cubit, and its opening [was] round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening [there were] engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

³¹小座高一肘，口是圓的，彷彿座的樣式，徑一肘半，在口上有雕工，心子是方的，不是圓的。

³²The four wheels [were] underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels [were] on the stand. And the height of a wheel [was] a cubit and a half.

³²四個輪子在心子以下，輪軸與座相連，每輪高一肘半。

³³The workmanship of the wheels [was] like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs [were] all cast.

³³輪的樣式如同車輪；軸、輞、輻、轂都是鑄的。

³⁴Now [there were] four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports [were] part of the stand itself.

³⁴每座四角上都有盆架，是與座一同鑄成的。

³⁵On the top of the stand [there was] a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders [were] part of it.

³⁵座上有圓架，高半肘；座上有撐子和心子，是與座一同鑄的。

³⁶He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths [all] around.

³⁶在撐子和心子上刻著基路伯、獅子，和棕樹，周圍有瓔珞。

³⁷He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form.

³⁷十個盆座都是這樣，鑄法、尺寸、樣式相同。

³⁸He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin [was] four cubits, [and] on each of the ten stands [was] one basin.

³⁸又用銅製造十個盆，每盆可容四十罷特。盆徑四肘，在那十座上，每座安設一盆。

³⁹Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea [of cast metal] on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.

³⁹五個安在殿門的右邊，五個放在殿門的左邊；又將海放在殿門的右旁，就是南邊。

⁴⁰Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon [in] the house of the LORD:

⁴⁰戶蘭又造了盆、鏟子，和盤子。這樣，他為所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工。

⁴¹the two pillars and the [two] bowls of the capitals which [were] on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which [were] on the top of the pillars;

⁴¹所造的就是：兩根柱子和柱上兩個如球的頂；並兩個蓋柱頂的網子；

⁴²and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which [were] on the tops of the pillars;

⁴²和四百石榴，安在兩個網子上，每網兩行，蓋著兩個柱上如球的頂；

⁴³and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands;

⁴³十個座和其上的十個盆；

⁴⁴and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea;

⁴⁴海和海下的十二隻牛；

⁴⁵and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon [in] the house of the LORD [were] of polished bronze.

⁴⁵盆、鏟子、盤子。這一切都是戶蘭給所羅門王用光亮的銅為耶和華的殿造成的，

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

⁴⁶是遵王命在約但平原、疏割和撒拉但中間藉膠泥鑄成的。

⁴⁷Solomon left all the utensils [unweighed], because [they were] too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

⁴⁷這一切所羅門都沒有過秤；因為甚多，銅的輕重也無法可查。

⁴⁸Solomon made all the furniture which [was in] the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which [was] the bread of the Presence;

⁴⁸所羅門又造耶和華殿裡的金壇和陳設餅的金桌子；

⁴⁹and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold;

⁴⁹內殿前的精金燈臺：右邊五個，左邊五個，並其上的金花、燈盞、蠟剪，

⁵⁰and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, [and] for the doors of the house, [that is], of the nave, of gold.

⁵⁰與精金的杯、盤、鑷子、調羹、火鼎，以及至聖所、內殿的門樞，和外殿的門樞。

⁵¹Thus all the work that King Solomon performed [in] the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, [and] he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

⁵¹所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工，就把他父大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿都帶來放在耶和華殿的府庫裡。
