1.이스라엘 자손이 애굽 땅에서 나온 지 사백팔십 년이요 솔로몬이 이스라엘 왕이 된 지 사 년 시브월 곧 둘째 달에 솔로몬이 여호와를 위하여 성전 건축하기를 시작하였더라And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were 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, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.
2.솔로몬 왕이 여호와를 위하여 건축한 성전은 길이가 육십 규빗이요 너비가 이십 규빗이요 높이가 삼십 규빗이며And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3.성전의 성소 앞 주랑의 길이는 성전의 너비와 같이 이십 규빗이요 그 너비는 성전 앞에서부터 십 규빗이며And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4.성전을 위하여 창틀 있는 붙박이 창문을 내고And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.
5.또 성전의 벽 곧 성소와 지성소의 벽에 연접하여 돌아가며 다락들을 건축하되 다락마다 돌아가며 골방들을 만들었으니And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.
6.하층 다락의 너비는 다섯 규빗이요 중층 다락의 너비는 여섯 규빗이요 셋째 층 다락의 너비는 일곱 규빗이라 성전의 벽 바깥으로 돌아가며 턱을 내어 골방 들보들로 성전의 벽에 박히지 아니하게 하였으며The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.
7.이 성전은 건축할 때에 돌을 그 뜨는 곳에서 다듬고 가져다가 건축하였으므로 건축하는 동안에 성전 속에서는 방망이나 도끼나 모든 철 연장 소리가 들리지 아니하였으며And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8.중층 골방의 문은 성전 오른쪽에 있는데 나사 모양 층계로 말미암아 하층에서 중층에 오르고 중층에서 셋째 층에 오르게 하였더라The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.
9.성전의 건축을 마치니라 그 성전은 백향목 서까래와 널판으로 덮었고So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10.또 온 성전으로 돌아가며 높이가 다섯 규빗 되는 다락방을 건축하되 백향목 들보로 성전에 연접하게 하였더라And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11.여호와의 말씀이 솔로몬에게 임하여 이르시되And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying,
12.네가 지금 이 성전을 건축하니 네가 만일 내 법도를 따르며 내 율례를 행하며 내 모든 계명을 지켜 그대로 행하면 내가 네 아버지 다윗에게 한 말을 네게 확실히 이룰 것이요Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father.
13.내가 또한 이스라엘 자손 가운데에 거하며 내 백성 이스라엘을 버리지 아니하리라 하셨더라And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14.솔로몬이 성전 건축하기를 마치고So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15.백향목 널판으로 성전의 안벽 곧 성전 마루에서 천장까지의 벽에 입히고 또 잣나무 널판으로 성전 마루를 놓고And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.
16.또 성전 뒤쪽에서부터 이십 규빗 되는 곳에 마루에서 천장까지 백향목 널판으로 가로막아 성전의 내소 곧 지성소를 만들었으며And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls of the ceiling: he built them for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.
17.내소 앞에 있는 외소 곧 성소의 길이가 사십 규빗이며And the house, that is, the temple before the oracle, was forty cubits long.
18.성전 안에 입힌 백향목에는 박과 핀 꽃을 아로새겼고 모두 백향목이라 돌이 보이지 아니하며And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19.여호와의 언약궤를 두기 위하여 성전 안에 내소를 마련하였는데And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
20.그 내소의 안은 길이가 이십 규빗이요 너비가 이십 규빗이요 높이가 이십 규빗이라 정금으로 입혔고 백향목 제단에도 입혔더라And within the oracle was a space of twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.
21.솔로몬이 정금으로 외소 안에 입히고 내소 앞에 금사슬로 건너지르고 내소를 금으로 입히고So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22.온 성전을 금으로 입히기를 마치고 내소에 속한 제단의 전부를 금으로 입혔더라And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23.내소 안에 감람나무로 두 그룹을 만들었는데 그 높이가 각각 십 규빗이라And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.
24.한 그룹의 이쪽 날개도 다섯 규빗이요 저쪽 날개도 다섯 규빗이니 이쪽 날개 끝으로부터 저쪽 날개 끝까지 십 규빗이며And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25.다른 그룹도 십 규빗이니 그 두 그룹은 같은 크기와 같은 모양이요And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26.이 그룹의 높이가 십 규빗이요 저 그룹도 같았더라The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27.솔로몬이 내소 가운데에 그룹을 두었으니 그룹들의 날개가 퍼져 있는데 이쪽 그룹의 날개는 이쪽 벽에 닿았고 저쪽 그룹의 날개는 저쪽 벽에 닿았으며 두 날개는 성전의 중앙에서 서로 닿았더라And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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 midst of the house.
28.그가 금으로 그룹을 입혔더라And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29.내 외소 사방 벽에는 모두 그룹들과 종려와 핀 꽃 형상을 아로새겼고And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.
30.내외 성전 마루에는 금으로 입혔으며And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31.내소에 들어가는 곳에는 감람나무로 문을 만들었는데 그 문인방과 문설주는 벽의 오분의 일이요And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel and door-posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32.감람나무로 만든 그 두 문짝에 그룹과 종려와 핀 꽃을 아로새기고 금으로 입히되 곧 그룹들과 종려에 금으로 입혔더라So he made two doors of olive-wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
33.또 외소의 문을 위하여 감람나무로 문설주를 만들었으니 곧 벽의 사분의 일이며So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;
34.그 두 문짝은 잣나무라 이쪽 문짝도 두 짝으로 접게 되었고 저쪽 문짝도 두 짝으로 접게 되었으며and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35.그 문짝에 그룹들과 종려와 핀 꽃을 아로새기고 금으로 입히되 그 새긴 데에 맞게 하였고And he carved thereon cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.
36.또 다듬은 돌 세 켜와 백향목 두꺼운 판자 한 켜로 둘러 안뜰을 만들었더라And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.
37.넷째 해 시브월에 여호와의 성전 기초를 쌓았고In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Ziv.
38.열한째 해 불월 곧 여덟째 달에 그 설계와 식양대로 성전 건축이 다 끝났으니 솔로몬이 칠 년 동안 성전을 건축하였더라And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
