In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.
The house which King Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
所羅門王為耶和華所建的殿，長六十肘，寬二十肘，高三十肘。
6:3
ወወቀርዎን፡ ደቀ፡ ሰሎሞን፡ ወደቀ፡ ኪረም፡ ወወደይዎን።
The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
建殿是用山中鑿成的石頭。建殿的時候，鎚子、斧子，和別樣鐵器的響聲都沒有聽見。
6:8
ወገብረ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ቤት፡ መሳክወ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ ወኅቡኣነ።
The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
內殿，就是至聖所，長二十肘，從地到棚頂用香柏木板遮蔽 。
6:17
ወ፵በእመት፡ ውእቱ፡ ጽርሑ ፤
In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant there.
殿裏預備了內殿，好安放耶和華的約櫃。
6:20
ወለኵሉ፡ ቤቱ፡ ቀፈሎ፡ በወርቅ፡ ንጹሕ፡ ኵሎ፡ ቤቶ።
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
內殿長二十肘，寬二十肘，高二十肘，牆面都貼上精金；又用香柏木做壇，包上精金。
6:21
ወገብረ፡ ውሰተ፡ ዳቤር፡ ፪ኪሩቤል፡ ወ[ዕሥር፡] በእመት፡ ቆሙ።
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
全殿都貼上金子，直到貼完；內殿前的壇，也都用金包裹。
6:23
ወከማሁ፡ አምጣኒሆሙ፡ ለክልኤሆሙ፡ ዕሩይ፡ ወ፩ግብረቶሙ፡ ለክልኤሆሙ።
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
他用橄欖木做兩個基路伯，各高十肘，安在內殿。
6:24
ለኪሩብ፡ ዐሥር፡ በእመት፡ ወከማሁ፡ ካልኡኒ፡ ኪሩብ።
Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
在橄欖木做的兩門扇上刻着基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花，都貼上金子。
6:33
ወገብረ፡ መንጦላዕተ፡ ለዐጸደ፡ ኤላም፡ ዘውስተ፡ ቤት፡ ዘቅድመ፡ መቅደስ።
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
