1 Reis 6
1 E Succedeu que no anno de quatrocentos e oitenta, depois de sairem os filhos de Israel do Egypto, no anno quarto do reinado de Salomão sobre Israel, no mez de Ziv (este é o mez segundo), começou a edificar a casa do Senhor.
480 years after the Israeli people left Egypt, during the fourth year that Solomon ruled Israel, early in May, Solomon’s workers began to build the temple.
2 E a casa que o rei Salomão edificou ao Senhor era de sessenta covados de comprimento, e de vinte covados de largura, e de trinta covados de altura.
Inside, [the main part of] the temple was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
3 E o portico diante do templo da casa era de vinte covados de comprimento, segundo a largura da casa, e de dez covados de largura diante da casa.
The entrance room was 15 feet long and 30 feet wide, just as wide as the main part of the temple.
4 E fez á casa janellas de vista estreita.
There were windows in [the walls of] the temple. The windows were narrower on the outside than on the inside.
5 Edificou em redor da parede da casa camaras, em redor das paredes da casa, tanto do templo como do oraculo: e assim lhe fez camaras collateraes em redor.
Against the two sides and against the back of the temple walls, they built a structure/building that had rooms in it. [This structure had three levels/stories and each was 7-1/2 feet high].
6 A camara de baixo era de cinco covados de largura, e a do meio de seis covados de largura, e a terceira de sete covados de largura; porque pela parte de fóra da casa em redor fizera encostos, para não travarem das paredes da casa.
[Each room in] the lowest level/story was 7-1/2 feet wide. [Each room in] the middle level/story was nine feet wide. [The rooms in] the top level/story were 10-1/2 feet wide. The wall of the temple at the top level/story was thinner than the wall at the middle level/story, and the wall of the middle level/story was thinner than the wall at the bottom level/story. The result was that the rooms could be supported by the wall underneath them, and did not require wooden beams to support them.
7 E edificava-se a casa com pedras preparadas, como as traziam se edificava; de maneira que nem martelo, nem machado, nem nenhum outro instrumento de ferro se ouviu na casa quando a edificavam.
The huge stones for [the foundation of] the temple were cut and shaped at the quarry [to become very smooth]. The result was that while the workers were building the temple there was no noise, because they did not use hammers or chisels or any other iron tools there.
8 A porta da camara do meio estava á banda direita da casa, e por corações se subia á do meio, e da do meio á terceira.
The entrance to the bottom level/story [of that attached structure] was on the south side of the temple. There were stairs from the bottom level/story to the middle and top level/story.
9 Assim pois edificou a casa, e a aperfeiçoou: e cobriu a casa com pranchões e taboados de cedro.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished building the [framework of the] temple. They made the ceiling from cedar beams and boards.
10 Tambem edificou as camaras a toda a casa de cinco covados de altura, e as travou com a casa com madeira de cedro.
They built the structure that had three levels/stories, that was against the walls of the temple. Each level/story was 7-1/2 feet high, and was joined to the temple with cedar beams.
11 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Salomão, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said this to Solomon:
12 Quanto a esta casa que tu edificas, se andares nos meus estatutos, e fizeres os meus juizos, e guardares todos os meus mandamentos, andando n'elles, confirmarei para comtigo a minha palavra, a qual fallei a David, teu pae;
“[I want to tell you] about this temple that you are building. If you continually obey all my statutes and laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised to your father David.
13 E habitarei no meio dos filhos d'Israel, e não desampararei o meu povo d'Israel.
I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
14 Assim edificou Salomão aquella casa, e a aperfeiçoou.
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
15 Tambem cobriu as paredes da casa por dentro com taboas de cedro; desde o soalho da casa até ao tecto tudo cobriu com madeira por dentro: e cobriu o soalho da casa com taboas de faia.
On the inside, they lined/covered the walls with cedar boards. They lined/covered them from the floor to the ceiling. They made the floor from cypress boards.
16 Edificou mais vinte covados de taboas de cedro nos lados da casa, desde o soalho até ás paredes: e por dentro lh'as edificou para o oraculo, para o Sancto dos Sanctos,
Inside the back part of the temple they built an inner room, called the Very Holy Place. It was 30 feet long. All the walls of this room were lined with cedar boards.
17 Era pois a casa de quarenta covados, a saber: o templo interior.
In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.
18 E o cedro da casa por dentro era lavrado de botões e flores abertas: tudo era cedro, pedra nenhuma se via.
The cedar [boards on the walls] inside the temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. [The walls were] completely covered with cedar boards, with the result that the stones [of the walls behind them] could not be seen.
19 E por dentro da casa interior preparou o oraculo, para pôr ali a arca do concerto do Senhor.
At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.
20 E o oraculo no interior era de vinte covados de comprimento, e de vinte covados de largura, e de vinte covados de altura: e o cobriu de oiro puro: tambem cobriu de cedro o altar.
That room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. They covered the walls with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. [For burning incense] they also made an altar of cedar [boards].
21 E cobriu Salomão a casa por dentro de oiro puro: e com cadeias de oiro poz um véu diante do oraculo, e o cobriu com oiro.
Solomon told them to cover the other walls inside the temple with [very thin sheets of] pure gold and to fasten gold chains across the entrance to the Very Holy Place.
22 Assim toda a casa cobriu de oiro, até acabar toda a casa: tambem todo o altar que estava diante do oraculo cobriu de oiro.
They covered all the walls of the temple and the altar that was outside the Very Holy Place with [very thin sheets of] gold.
23 E no oraculo fez dois cherubins de madeira olearia, cada um da altura de dez covados.
Inside the Very Holy Place, they made from olive tree wood [large statues of] two creatures with wings. Each one was 15 feet tall.
24 E uma aza d'um cherubim era de cinco covados, e a outra aza do cherubim de outros cinco covados; dez covados havia desde a extremidade d'uma das suas azas até á extremidade da outra das suas azas.
They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings [which were spread out]. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.
25 Assim era tambem de dez covados o outro cherubim: ambos os cherubins eram d'uma mesma medida e d'um mesmo talhe.
26 A altura d'um cherubim de dez covados, e assim a do outro cherubim.
27 E poz a estes cherubins no meio da casa de dentro; e os cherubins estendiam as azas, de maneira que a aza d'um tocava na parede, e a aza do outro cherubim tocava na outra parede: e as suas azas no meio da casa tocavam uma na outra.
They put those statues next to each other in the Very Holy Place so that the wing of the one touched the one wing of the other in the center of the room, and the outer wings touched the walls.
28 E cobriu de oiro os cherubins.
They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
29 E todas as paredes da casa em redor lavrou de esculpturas e entalhes de cherubins, e de palmas, e de flores abertas, por dentro e por fóra.
[Solomon told them to] decorate the walls of the main room and the Very Holy Place by carving representations of winged creatures and palm trees and flowers.
30 Tambem cobriu de oiro o soalho da casa, por dentro e por fóra.
They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
31 E á entrada do oraculo fez portas de madeira olearia: o umbral de cima com as hombreiras faziam a quinta parte da parede.
They made a set of doors from olive tree wood, and placed them at the entrance to the Very Holy Place. The doorposts joined at the top to form a pointed arch.
32 Tambem as duas portas eram de madeira olearia; e lavrou n'ellas entalhes de cherubins, e de palmas, e de flores abertas, os quaes cobriu de oiro: tambem estendeu oiro sobre os cherubins e sobre as palmas.
The doors were decorated by carving on them representations of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. All of these things were covered with [very thin sheets of] gold.
33 E assim fez á porta do templo hombreiras de madeira olearia, da quarta parte da parede.
They made a rectangular door frame from olive tree wood, and put it [between the entrance room and] the main room.
34 E eram as duas portas de madeira de faia; e as duas folhas d'uma porta eram dobradiças, assim como eram tambem dobradiças as duas folhas entalhadas das outras portas.
They made two folding doors from cypress wood [and fastened them to the door frame].
35 E as lavrou de cherubins, e de palmas, e de flores abertas, e as cobriu de oiro acommodado ao lavor.
The doors were also decorated with wood carvings of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, and they were also covered evenly with [very thin sheets of] gold.
36 Tambem edificou o pateo interior de tres ordens de pedras lavradas e d'uma ordem de vigas de cedro.
They built a courtyard in front of the temple. The walls around the courtyard were made of cedar and stone; to make the walls, between each layer of cedar beams they put down two layers of stone.
37 No anno quarto se poz o fundamento da casa do Senhor, no mez de Ziv.
They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
38 E no anno undecimo, no mez de Bul, que é o mez oitavo, se acabou esta casa com todos os seus apparelhos, e com tudo o que lhe convinha: e a edificou em sete annos.
In the eleventh year [that he ruled], in the middle of October, they finished building the temple and all of its parts, doing exactly what Solomon told them to do. It required seven years to build it.
