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.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in the mount of Amoria, where the Lord appeared to his father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
2 Coepit autem aedificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
And he began to build in 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.
And thus Solomon began to build the house of God: the length in cubits—even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
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.
And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and twenty cubits: and he gilded 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 lined the great house with cedar wood, and gilded it with pure gold, and carved upon it palm-trees and chains.
6 Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; and he gilded it with gold of the gold from Pharuim.
7 Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cuius laminis texit domum, et trabes eius, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et caelavit cherubim in parietibus.
And he gilded the house, and its [inner] walls, and the door-posts, and the roofs, and the doors with gold; and he carved cherubs 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 built the holy of holies, its length was according to the front [of the other house], the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the length twenty cubits: and he gilded [it] with pure gold for cherubs, to [the amount of] six hundred talents.
9 Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: caenacula quoque texit auro.
And the weight of the nails, [even] the weight of each was fifty shekels of gold: and he gilded the upper chamber with gold.
10 Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
And he made two cherubs in the most holy house, wood-work, and he gilded 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.
And the wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits in length: and one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house: and the other wing of five cubits 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.
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.
And the wings of these cherubs expanded were of the length of twenty cubits: and they stood upon their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
14 Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and wove cherubs in it.
15 Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quae triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
Also he made in front of the house two pillars, in height thirty-five cubits, and their chapters of five cubits.
16 Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quae catenulis interposuit.
And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
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.
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left: and he called the name of the one on the right hand 'Stability,' and the name of the one on the left 'Strength.'
