2 Chroniques 3
1 Et Salomon commença à bâtir le temple du Seigneur à Jérusalem, sur le mont Moria, où le Seigneur était apparu à David, son père, au lieu que David avait préparé, dans l'aire d'Orna le Jébuséen.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Il commença à bâtir le second mois de la quatrième année de son règne.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Et voici comme Salomon commença à bâtir le temple du Seigneur: il lui donna soixante coudées de longueur (ce fut la première mesure), et vingt coudées de largeur.
Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Le portique de la façade du temple eut vingt coudées de long; c'était la largeur même de l'édifice; sa hauteur fut de cent vingt coudées; Hiram le dora avec de l'or pur, intérieurement.
And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Et il revêtit de lambris de cèdre le corps de l'édifice, et il le dora d'or pur, sur lequel il grava des palmiers et des chaînes.
And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Et il orna le temple de pierres précieuses d'un vif éclat, et il le couvrit de lames d'or, et il y employa de l'or de Pharaïm.
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Et il dora le temple, ses murs, ses portes, ses plafonds, les battants des portes, et il fit sur les parois des chérubins ciselés.
And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Et il fit le Saint des saints, dont la façade avait vingt coudées de long, largeur du temple et dont les côtés étaient pareillement de vingt coudées; il le dora d'or pur du poids de six cents talents; pour les chérubins ciselés,
He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 Les clous pesaient chacun cinquante sicles d'or; il revêtit aussi d'or l'étage supérieur.
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 Puis, il fit, dans le Saint des saints, deux chérubins de bois qu'il revêtit de lames d'or pur.
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Les ailes des chérubins avaient un déploiement de vingt coudées; chaque aile était de cinq coudées, de sorte que l'aile droite de l'un des chérubins touchait un mur, et l'aile gauche de l'autre chérubin touchait le mur opposé; [et son autre aile de cinq coudées touchait l'aile de l'autre chérubin.]
The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub.
12 [Et l'aile d'un chérubin était de cinq coudées atteignant le mur du temple, et son autre aile était aussi de cinq coudées, joignant l'aile de l'autre chérubin.]
In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Les ailes des deux chérubins étaient donc déployées, et il y avait entre les deux ailes extrêmes une distance de vingt coudées. Ils étaient en pied, le visage tourné vers l'intérieur du temple.
So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 Il fit aussi un voile d'hyacinthe, de pourpre, d'écarlate et de lin, dans lequel étaient tissus des chérubins.
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 Et il fit, devant le temple, deux colonnes, hautes de trente-cinq coudées, avec des chapiteaux de cinq coudées.
He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
16 Et il fit des chaînes dans l'oracle, et il les plaça sur les chapiteaux des colonnes, et il fit cent petites grenades qu'il posa sur les chaînes.
He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains.
17 Et il plaça les colonnes sur la façade du temple, l'une à droite, l'autre à gauche, et il appela celle de droite Rectitude, et celle de gauche Force.
These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
