2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Et coepit Salomon aedificare domum Domini in Ierusalem in monte Moria, qui demonstratus fuerat David patri eius, in loco, quem paraverat David in area Ornan Iebusaei.
2 The building was started in the second month in the fourth year of his rule.
Coepit autem aedificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
3 And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
Et haec sunt fundamenta, quae iecit Salomon, ut aedificaret domum Dei, longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.
4 And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.
Porticum vero ante frontem, quae tendebatur in longum iuxta mensuram latitudinis domus, cubitorum viginti: porro altitudo centum viginti cubitorum erat: et deauravit eam intrinsecus auro mundissimo.
5 And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.
Domum quoque maiorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis, et laminas auri obrizi affixit per totum: sculpsitque in ea palmas, et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.
6 And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
7 All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.
Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cuius laminis texit domum, et trabes eius, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et caelavit cherubim in parietibus.
8 And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.
Fecit quoque domum Sancti sanctorum: longitudinem iuxta latitudinem domus cubitorum viginti: et latitudinem similiter viginti cubitorum: et laminis aureis texit eam, quasi talentis sexcentis.
9 And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.
Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: caenacula quoque texit auro.
10 And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering them with gold.
Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
11 Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.
Alae cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus: et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.
12 And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.
Similiter cherub alterius ala, quinque habebat cubitos, et tangebat parietem: et ala eius altera quinque cubitorum, alam cherub alterius contingebat.
13 Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.
Igitur alae utriusque cherubim expansae erant, et extendebantur per cubitos viginti: ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versae ad exteriorem domum.
14 And he made the veil of blue and purple and red, of the best linen, worked with winged ones.
Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
15 And in front of the house he made two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, with crowns on the tops of them, five cubits high.
Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quae triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
16 And he made chains, like neck ornaments, and put them on the tops of the pillars, and a hundred apples on the chains.
Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quae catenulis interposuit.
17 He put up the pillars in front of the Temple, one on the right side and one on the left, naming the one on the right Jachin and that on the left Boaz.
Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris: eam, quae a dextris erat, vocavit Iachin: et quae ad laevam, Booz.
