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.
6:3
ወወቀርዎን፡ ደቀ፡ ሰሎሞን፡ ወደቀ፡ ኪረም፡ ወወደይዎን።
殿前的廊子長二十肘,與殿的寬窄一樣,闊十肘;
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.
6:8
ወገብረ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ቤት፡ መሳክወ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ ወኅቡኣነ።
在殿右邊當中的旁屋有門,門內有旋螺的樓梯,可以上到第二層,從第二層可以上到第三層。
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.
6:13
ወሐነጸ፡ ቤቶ፡ ወፈጸሞ፡ ወጠፈሮ፡ በዕፀወ፡ ቄድሮስ።
我必住在以色列人中間,並不丟棄我民以色列。」
I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
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.
6:17
ወ፵በእመት፡ ውእቱ፡ ጽርሑ ፤
內殿前的外殿,長四十肘。
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.
6:20
ወለኵሉ፡ ቤቱ፡ ቀፈሎ፡ በወርቅ፡ ንጹሕ፡ ኵሎ፡ ቤቶ።
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。
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.
6:21
ወገብረ፡ ውሰተ፡ ዳቤር፡ ፪ኪሩቤል፡ ወ[ዕሥር፡] በእመት፡ ቆሙ።
所羅門用精金貼了殿內的牆,又用金鍊子掛在內殿前門扇,用金包裹。
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.
6:23
ወከማሁ፡ አምጣኒሆሙ፡ ለክልኤሆሙ፡ ዕሩይ፡ ወ፩ግብረቶሙ፡ ለክልኤሆሙ።
他用橄欖木做兩個基路伯,各高十肘,安在內殿。
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
6:24
ለኪሩብ፡ ዐሥር፡ በእመት፡ ወከማሁ፡ ካልኡኒ፡ ኪሩብ።
這一個基路伯有兩個翅膀,各長五肘,從這翅膀尖到那翅膀尖共有十肘;
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.
6:33
ወገብረ፡ መንጦላዕተ፡ ለዐጸደ፡ ኤላም፡ ዘውስተ፡ ቤት፡ ዘቅድመ፡ መቅደስ።
又用橄欖木製造外殿的門框,門口有牆的四分之一。
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
