2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
HOOMAKA iho la o Solomona e kapili i ka hale o Iehova ma Ierusalema, ma ka mauna o Moria, ma kahi i ikeia mai ai oia e Davida, kona makuakane, ma kahi a Davida i hoomakaukau ai i kahihehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Hoomaka iho la oia e kapili hale, i ka makahiki eha o kona noho alii ana, i ka malama elua, a i ka la elua o ia malama.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Eia ka hookumu ana o ka hale o ke Akua a Solomona i kukulu ai: o na kubita o ka loa e like me ke ana mua ana he kanaono kubita, a o ka laula he iwakalua kubita.
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
A o ka loa o ka lanai ma ke ala, ua like ia me ka laula o ka hale he iwakalua kubita, a o kona kiekie hookahi haneri kubita a me ka iwakalua, a uhi iho la oia ia mea maloko me ke gula maemae.
5 Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
A o ka hale nui, kapili no ia i ka laau paina, a uhi iho la i ke gula maikai, hoonoho iho la maluna olaila i na lala loulu i kalaiia a me na kaula.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
A hoonaniia ka hale i na pohaku maikai a me ke gula, i ke gula o Parevaima.
7 They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
A uhi no hoi ia i ka hale, i na kaola, a me na paepae, a me na pa ona, a me kona mau puka i ke gula, a kalai oia i na kerubima maluna o na pa.
8 They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
Hana iho la oia i ka hale hoano loa, o ka loa ua like pu ia me ka laula o ka hale, he iwakalua kubita, a o kona laula he iwakalua kubita, a uhi iho la oia ia mea i ke gula maemae eono haneri talena.
9 They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
A o na kui ma ke kaupaona ana he kanalima sekela gula; a uhi iho la oia i na keena maluna i ke gula.
10 Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
A iloko o ka hale hoano loa, hana iho la oia i na kerubima elua, mamuli o ka hana kalai kii, a uhi iho la oia ia mau mea i ke gula.
11 [Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
O na eheu o na kerubima he iwakalua kubita ka loa; o ke eheu o kekahi elima kubita e pa ana ma ka paia o ka hale; a o ka eheu o kekahi elima no kubita e pa ana i ka eheu o kela kerubima.
O ka eheu o kekahi kerubima elima no kubita e pa ana ma ka paia o ka hale; a o ka eheu o kekahi elima no kubita e pa ana i ka eheu o kela kerubima.
13 It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
O na eheu o keia mau kerubima i hoholaia he iwakalua kubita; a ku laua ma ko laua mau wawae, a maloko ko laua alo.
14 Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
Hana iho la ia i ka paku lole uli, a me ka ulaula ahiahia, a me ka ulaula maoli, a me ka lole pulupulu maikai, a hana iho la oia i na kerubima maluna ona.
15 They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
Hana iho la oia no ke alo o ka hale i na kia elua he kanakolukumamalima kubita ka loa, a o ka papale maluna o kona poo elima kubita.
16 The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
Hana iho la no hoi oia i na kaula iloko o kahi laa, a kau maluna o na poo o na kia, a hana no hoi ia i na pomegerane hookahi haneri, a kau aku maluna o ua mau kaula la.
17 They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
Kukulu iho la oia i na kia ma ke alo o ka luakini ma ka aoao akau kekahi, a ma ka aoao hema kekahi; a kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ka mea ma ka akau o Iakina, a i ka inoa o ka mea ma ka hema o Boaza.
