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 the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 pada bulan kedua tahun keempat pemerintahannya.
And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Panjang Rumah itu 27 meter dan lebarnya 9 meter.
Now these are the things in which Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Panjang ruang depan sama dengan lebar Rumah itu, yaitu 9 meter. Tingginya 54 meter. Bagian dalam ruangan itu dilapisi dengan emas murni.
And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within 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.
And the greater house he panelled with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm trees and chains.
6 Raja menghias Rumah itu dengan batu permata yang bagus-bagus dan dengan emas yang didatangkan dari negeri Parwaim.
And he adorned 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 posts, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, 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
And he made the most holy house, the length of which was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits: 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.
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers 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.
And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
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.
And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim on it.
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 of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 Bagian atas tiang-tiang itu diperindah dengan hiasan dari perunggu, berupa anyaman rantai dengan 100 buah delima.
And he made chains, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an 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.
And he erected 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 Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
