2 Tawarikh 3
1 Raja Daud sudah menentukan bahwa Rumah TUHAN harus dibangun di Yerusalem di Gunung Moria di tempat pengirikan gandum milik Arauna orang Yebus. Pembangunan Rumah TUHAN itu dimulai oleh Raja Salomo
Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah 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.
2 pada bulan kedua tahun keempat pemerintahannya.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Panjang Rumah itu 27 meter dan lebarnya 9 meter.
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.
4 Panjang ruang depan sama dengan lebar Rumah itu, yaitu 9 meter. Tingginya 54 meter. Bagian dalam ruangan itu dilapisi dengan emas murni.
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.
5 Ruangan utama dipapani dengan kayu cemara yang terbaik dan dilapisi dengan emas tua. Pada lapisan emas itu ada ukiran gambar pohon palem dan gambar rantai.
The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
6 Raja menghias Rumah itu dengan batu permata yang bagus-bagus dan dengan emas yang didatangkan dari negeri Parwaim.
He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 Ia memakai emas itu juga untuk melapisi tembok-tembok Rumah TUHAN itu, balok-baloknya, ambang-ambang pintu dan pintu-pintunya. Tembok-temboknya diukir dengan gambar kerub.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Ruang dalam yang dinamakan Ruang Mahasuci panjangnya 9 meter dan lebarnya 9 meter, sama dengan lebar Rumah TUHAN itu. Dua puluh ton emas dipakai untuk melapisi tembok-tembok Ruang Mahasuci itu
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.
9 dan 570 gram emas untuk membuat paku. Tembok ruangan-ruangan tingkat atas pun dilapisi dengan emas.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Raja juga menyuruh para pekerjanya itu membuat dua patung kerub dari logam. Patung-patung itu dilapisinya dengan emas dan dipasang berdampingan di Ruang Mahasuci menghadap pintu. Setiap kerub itu mempunyai dua sayap, masing-masing panjangnya 2,2 meter. Sayap-sayap itu mengembang sedemikian rupa sehingga ujung yang satu saling bersentuhan di tengah ruangan dan ujung yang lain mencapai tembok di kiri kanan. Jadi, sayap-sayap itu terbentang sepanjang 9 meter yaitu selebar ruangan itu.
In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured work; and he overlaid them with gold.
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.
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.
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.
14 Untuk Ruang Mahasuci itu dibuat pula gorden dari kain lenan dan kain lain yang berwarna biru, ungu dan merah. Gorden itu dihias dengan gambar-gambar kerub.
He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
15 Raja membuat dua tiang yang masing-masing tingginya 15,5 meter, lalu menempatkannya di depan Rumah TUHAN. Setiap tiang itu mempunyai kepala tiang setinggi 2,2 meter.
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.
16 Bagian atas tiang-tiang itu diperindah dengan hiasan dari perunggu, berupa anyaman rantai dengan 100 buah delima.
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.
17 Tiang-tiang itu didirikan di samping kiri dan kanan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN; yang di sebelah selatan dinamakan Yakhin, dan yang di sebelah utara dinamakan Boas.
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.
