2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where he appeared to David his father, at the place that David had designated, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Salomo mulai mendirikan rumah TUHAN di Yerusalem di gunung Moria, di mana TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada Daud, ayahnya, di tempat yang ditetapkan Daud, yakni di tempat pengirikan Ornan, orang Yebus itu.
2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
Ia mulai mendirikan rumah itu dalam bulan yang kedua, pada tahun keempat pemerintahannya.
3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God's house. The length, using the former standard measure, was one hundred three feet and four inches, and the breadth was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height was fifty-one feet and eight inches.
Inilah ukuran dasar yang dipakai Salomo untuk mendirikan rumah Allah: panjangnya enam puluh hasta, menurut ukuran hasta yang lama dan lebarnya dua puluh hasta.
4 The porch that was in front of the house was the same as the width of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches, and the depth was seventeen feet and three inches; and he overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.
Balai di sebelah depan ruang besar rumah itu, panjangnya dua puluh hasta, menurut lebar rumah itu, dan tingginya seratus dua puluh hasta. Balai itu dilapisinya dari dalam dengan emas murni.
5 The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
Ruang besar dipapaninya dengan kayu sanobar. Kayu itu disaputnya dengan emas tua; kemudian dipasangnya pohon korma dan untaian rantai di atasnya.
6 He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
Ruang itu dilapisinya juga dengan batu permata yang mahal-mahal sebagai perhiasan, sedang emasnya emas Parwaim.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
Demikianlah ruang itu, balok-baloknya, ambang-ambangnya, dinding-dindingnya dan pintu-pintunya disaputnya dengan emas dan pada dinding-dindingnya diukirkannya kerub.
8 He made the most holy house: its length, according to the breadth of the house, was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
Kemudian ia membuat ruang maha kudus; panjangnya dua puluh hasta, menurut lebar rumah itu, dan lebarnya dua puluh hasta juga. Lalu ia menyaputnya dengan emas tua seberat enam ratus talenta;
9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
berat paku-paku lima puluh syikal emas. Juga kamar-kamar atas disaputnya dengan emas.
10 In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured work; and he overlaid them with gold.
Ia membuat dua kerub berupa pahatan di ruang maha kudus dan melapisinya dengan emas.
11 The wings of the cherubim were thirty-four feet and five inches: the wing of the one was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
Sayap kerub-kerub itu seluruhnya dua puluh hasta panjangnya; sayap yang sebelah kerub yang satu lima hasta panjangnya dan menyentuh dinding ruang, sedang sayapnya yang sebelah lagi juga lima hasta panjangnya dan menyentuh sayap kerub yang lain.
12 The wing of the other cherub was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
Begitu pula sayap kerub yang lain itu lima hasta panjangnya dan menyentuh dinding ruang, sedang sayapnya yang sebelah lagi juga lima hasta panjangnya dan bersentuhan dengan sayap kerub yang pertama.
13 The wings of these cherubim were extended thirty-four feet and five inches: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
Jadi sayap kedua kerub itu membentang sepanjang dua puluh hasta, sedang kedua kerub itu berdiri di atas kakinya dan menghadap ruang besar.
14 He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
Kemudian ia membuat tabirnya dari kain ungu tua, kain ungu muda, kain kirmizi dan lenan halus, dan menggambarkan kerubim padanya.
15 Also he made before the house two pillars sixty feet and three inches high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was eight feet and seven inches.
Di depan rumah itu dibuatnya dua tiang, yang tingginya tiga puluh lima hasta, dengan ganja di kepalanya masing-masing setinggi lima hasta.
16 He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
Lalu dibuatnya untaian rantai yang dipasangnya sebagai kalung di atas kepala tiang-tiang itu, dan dibuatnya seratus buah delima yang dipasangnya pada untaian rantai itu.
17 He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jakin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
Tiang-tiang itu didirikannya di depan Bait Suci, yang satu di sebelah kanan dan yang lain di sebelah kiri; tiang kanan dinamainya Yakhin, dan tiang kiri Boas.
