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.
And Solomon begins to build the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, on the mount of Moriah where He appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,
2 Cœpit autem ædificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
and he begins to build in the second [day], in 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.
And [in] these Solomon has been instructed to build the house of God: the length [in] cubits by the former measure [is] sixty 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.
As for the porch that [is] on the front, the length [is] by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty [[or twenty]], and he overlays 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 he has covered the large house with fir-trees, and he covers it with fine gold, and causes palms and chains to ascend on it,
6 Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
and he overlays the house with precious stone for beauty, and the gold [is] 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.
and he covers the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and has engraved cherubim 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 makes the most holy house: its length by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and he covers it with six hundred talents of fine gold;
9 Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: cœnacula quoque texit auro.
and the weight of the nails [is] fifty shekels of gold, and he has covered the upper chambers with gold.
10 Fecit etiam in domo Sancti Sanctorum Cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
And he makes two cherubim in the most holy house, image work, and he overlays 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.
as for the wings of the cherubim, their length [is] twenty cubits, the wing of the one [is] five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, touching 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 the wing of the other cherub [is] five cubits touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, adhering 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 cherubim are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces [are] inward.
14 Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
And he makes the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and causes cherubim to go up on it.
15 Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quæ triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
And he makes two pillars at the front of the house, thirty-five cubits in length, and the ornament that [is] on their heads [is] five cubits.
16 Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quæ catenulis interposuit.
And he makes chains in the oracle, and puts [them] on the heads of the pillars, and makes one hundred pomegranates, and puts [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 raises up the pillars on the front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left, and calls the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
