< 2 Tawarikh 3 >

1 Salomo mulai mendirikan rumah TUHAN di Yerusalem di gunung Moria, di mana TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada Daud, ayahnya, di tempat yang ditetapkan Daud, yakni di tempat pengirikan Ornan, orang Yebus itu.
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 Ia mulai mendirikan rumah itu dalam bulan yang kedua, pada tahun keempat pemerintahannya.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Inilah ukuran dasar yang dipakai Salomo untuk mendirikan rumah Allah: panjangnya enam puluh hasta, menurut ukuran hasta yang lama dan lebarnya dua puluh hasta.
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 Balai di sebelah depan ruang besar rumah itu, panjangnya dua puluh hasta, menurut lebar rumah itu, dan tingginya seratus dua puluh hasta. Balai itu dilapisinya dari dalam dengan emas murni.
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 Ruang besar dipapaninya dengan kayu sanobar. Kayu itu disaputnya dengan emas tua; kemudian dipasangnya pohon korma dan untaian rantai di atasnya.
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 Ruang itu dilapisinya juga dengan batu permata yang mahal-mahal sebagai perhiasan, sedang emasnya emas Parwaim.
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Demikianlah ruang itu, balok-baloknya, ambang-ambangnya, dinding-dindingnya dan pintu-pintunya disaputnya dengan emas dan pada dinding-dindingnya diukirkannya kerub.
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 Kemudian ia membuat ruang maha kudus; panjangnya dua puluh hasta, menurut lebar rumah itu, dan lebarnya dua puluh hasta juga. Lalu ia menyaputnya dengan emas tua seberat enam ratus talenta;
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 berat paku-paku lima puluh syikal emas. Juga kamar-kamar atas disaputnya dengan emas.
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 Ia membuat dua kerub berupa pahatan di ruang maha kudus dan melapisinya dengan emas.
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Sayap kerub-kerub itu seluruhnya dua puluh hasta panjangnya; sayap yang sebelah kerub yang satu lima hasta panjangnya dan menyentuh dinding ruang, sedang sayapnya yang sebelah lagi juga lima hasta panjangnya dan menyentuh sayap kerub yang lain.
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 Begitu pula sayap kerub yang lain itu lima hasta panjangnya dan menyentuh dinding ruang, sedang sayapnya yang sebelah lagi juga lima hasta panjangnya dan bersentuhan dengan sayap kerub yang pertama.
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 Jadi sayap kedua kerub itu membentang sepanjang dua puluh hasta, sedang kedua kerub itu berdiri di atas kakinya dan menghadap ruang besar.
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 Kemudian ia membuat tabirnya dari kain ungu tua, kain ungu muda, kain kirmizi dan lenan halus, dan menggambarkan kerubim padanya.
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 Di depan rumah itu dibuatnya dua tiang, yang tingginya tiga puluh lima hasta, dengan ganja di kepalanya masing-masing setinggi lima hasta.
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 Lalu dibuatnya untaian rantai yang dipasangnya sebagai kalung di atas kepala tiang-tiang itu, dan dibuatnya seratus buah delima yang dipasangnya pada untaian rantai itu.
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 Tiang-tiang itu didirikannya di depan Bait Suci, yang satu di sebelah kanan dan yang lain di sebelah kiri; tiang kanan dinamainya Yakhin, dan tiang kiri Boas.
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.
