Ii Paralipomenon 3
1 Et cœpit Salomon ædificare domum Domini in Ierusalem in monte Moria, qui demonstratus fuerat David patri eius, in loco, quem paraverat David in area Ornan Iebusæi.
Then Solomon began to build the house of Yhwh at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Cœpit autem ædificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Et hæc sunt fundamenta, quæ iecit Salomon, ut ædificaret domum Dei, longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.
Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Porticum vero ante frontem, quæ tendebatur in longum iuxta mensuram latitudinis domus, cubitorum viginti: porro altitudo centum viginti cubitorum erat: et deauravit eam intrinsecus auro mundissimo.
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 Domum quoque maiorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis, et laminas auri obrizi affixit per totum: sculpsitque in ea palmas, et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cuius laminis texit domum, et trabes eius, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et cælavit Cherubim in parietibus.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Fecit quoque domum Sancti Sanctorum: longitudinem iuxta latitudinem domus cubitorum viginti: et latitudinem similiter viginti cubitorum: et laminis aureis texit eam, quasi talentis sexcentis.
And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: cœnacula quoque texit auro.
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10 Fecit etiam in domo Sancti Sanctorum Cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
11 Alæ cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus: et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.
And the wings of the cherubims 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.
12 Similiter cherub alterius ala, quinque habebat cubitos, et tangebat parietem: et ala eius altera quinque cubitorum, alam cherub alterius contingebat.
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.
13 Igitur alæ utriusque cherubim expansæ erant, et extendebantur per cubitos viginti: ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versæ ad exteriorem domum.
The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
14 Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15 Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quæ triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quæ catenulis interposuit.
And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris: eam, quæ a dextris erat, vocavit Iachin: et quæ ad lævam, Booz.
And he reared 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 Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
