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.
Salomone cominciò a costruire la casa dell’Eterno a Gerusalemme, sul monte Moriah, dove l’Eterno era apparso a Davide suo padre, nel luogo che Davide aveva preparato, nell’aia di Ornan, il Gebuseo.
2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
Egli cominciò la costruzione il secondo giorno del secondo mese del quarto anno del suo regno.
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.
Or queste son le misure dei fondamenti gettati da Salomone per la costruzione della casa di Dio. La lunghezza, in cubiti dell’antica misura, era di sessanta cubiti; la larghezza, di venti cubiti.
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.
Il portico, sul davanti della casa, avea venti cubiti di lunghezza, rispondenti alla larghezza della casa, e centoventi d’altezza. Salomone ricopri d’oro finissimo l’interno della casa.
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.
Egli ricoprì la casa maggiore di legno di cipresso, poi la rivestì d’oro finissimo e vi fece scolpire delle palme e delle catenelle.
6 He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
Rivestì questa casa di pietre preziose, per ornamento; e l’oro era di quello di Parvaim.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
Rivestì pure d’oro la casa, le travi, gli stipiti, le pareti e le porte; e sulle pareti fece dei cherubini d’intaglio.
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.
E costruì il luogo santissimo. Esso avea venti cubiti di lunghezza, corrispondenti alla larghezza della casa, e venti cubiti di larghezza. Lo ricoprì d’oro finissimo, del valore di seicento talenti;
9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
e il peso dell’oro per i chiodi ascendeva a cinquanta sicli. Rivestì anche d’oro le camere superiori.
10 In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured work; and he overlaid them with gold.
Nel luogo santissimo fece scolpire due statue di cherubini, che furono ricoperti d’oro.
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.
Le ali dei cherubini aveano venti cubiti di lunghezza. L’ala del primo, lunga cinque cubiti, toccava la parete della casa; l’altra ala, pure di cinque cubiti, toccava l’ala del secondo cherubino.
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.
L’ala del secondo cherubino, lunga cinque cubiti, toccava la parete della casa; l’altra ala, pure di cinque cubiti, arrivava all’ala dell’altro cherubino.
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.
Le ali di questi cherubini, spiegate, misuravano venti cubiti. Essi stavano ritti in piè, e aveano le facce vòlte verso la sala.
14 He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
E fece il velo di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto e di bisso, e vi fece ricamare dei cherubini.
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.
Fece pure davanti alla casa due colonne di trentacinque cubiti d’altezza; e il capitello in cima a ciascuna, era di cinque cubiti.
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.
E fece delle catenelle, come quelle che erano nel santuario, e le pose in cima alle colonne; e fece cento melagrane, che sospese alle catenelle.
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.
E rizzò le colonne dinanzi al tempio: una a destra e l’altra a sinistra; e chiamò quella di destra Jakin, e quella di sinistra Boaz.
