2 Cronache 3
1 Salomone cominciò a costruire il tempio del Signore in Gerusalemme sul monte Moria dove il Signore era apparso a Davide suo padre, nel luogo preparato da Davide sull'aia di Ornan il Gebuseo.
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 Incominciò a costruire nel secondo mese dell'anno quarto del suo regno.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Queste sono le misure delle fondamenta poste da Salomone per edificare il tempio: lunghezza, in cubiti dell'antica misura, sessanta cubiti; larghezza venti cubiti.
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 Il vestibolo, che era di fronte al tempio nel senso della larghezza del tempio, era di venti cubiti; la sua altezza era di centoventi cubiti. Egli ricoprì l'interno di oro purissimo.
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 Ricoprì con legno di abete il vano maggiore e lo rivestì d'oro fino; sopra vi scolpì palme e catenelle.
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 Rivestì l'aula con pietre preziose per ornamento. L'oro era oro di Parvàim.
He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 Rivestì d'oro la navata, cioè le travi, le soglie, le pareti e le porte; sulle pareti scolpì cherubini.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Costruì la cella del Santo dei santi, lunga, nel senso della larghezza della navata, venti cubiti e larga venti cubiti. La rivestì di oro fino, impiegandone seicento talenti.
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 Il peso dei chiodi era di cinquanta sicli d'oro; anche i piani di sopra rivestì d'oro.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Nella cella del Santo dei santi eresse due cherubini, lavoro di scultura e li rivestì d'oro.
In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured work; and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Le ali dei cherubini erano lunghe venti cubiti. Un'ala del primo cherubino, lunga cinque cubiti, toccava la parete della cella; l'altra, lunga cinque cubiti, toccava l'ala del secondo cherubino.
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.
12 Un'ala del secondo cherubino, di cinque cubiti, toccava la parete della cella; l'altra, di cinque cubiti, toccava l'ala del primo cherubino.
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.
13 Queste ali dei cherubini, spiegate, misuravano venti cubiti; essi stavano in piedi, voltati verso l'interno.
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 Salomone fece la cortina di stoffa di violetto, di porpora, di cremisi e di bisso; sopra vi fece ricamare cherubini.
He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
15 Di fronte al tempio eresse due colonne, alte trentacinque cubiti; il capitello sulla cima di ciascuna era di cinque cubiti.
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 Fece ghirlande e le pose sulla cima delle colonne. Fece anche cento melagrane e le collocò fra le ghirlande.
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 Eresse le colonne di fronte alla navata, una a destra e una a sinistra; quella a destra la chiamò Iachin e quella a sinistra Boaz.
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.
