Ii Paralipomenon 3
1 Et coepit Salomon aedificare domum Domini in Ierusalem in monte Moria, qui demonstratus fuerat David patri eius, in loco, quem paraverat David in area Ornan Iebusaei.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Coepit autem aedificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Et haec sunt fundamenta, quae iecit Salomon, ut aedificaret domum Dei, longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
4 Porticum vero ante frontem, quae tendebatur in longum iuxta mensuram latitudinis domus, cubitorum viginti: porro altitudo centum viginti cubitorum erat: et deauravit eam intrinsecus auro mundissimo.
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside 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.
He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
7 Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cuius laminis texit domum, et trabes eius, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et caelavit cherubim in parietibus.
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved 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.
Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: caenacula quoque texit auro.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
10 Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Alae cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus: et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched 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.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 Igitur alae utriusque cherubim expansae erant, et extendebantur per cubitos viginti: ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versae ad exteriorem domum.
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
15 Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quae triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
16 Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quae catenulis interposuit.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
17 Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris: eam, quae a dextris erat, vocavit Iachin: et quae ad laevam, Booz.
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
