1 Reis 6
1 E sucedeu que no ano de quatrocentos e oitenta, depois de sairem os filhos de Israel do Egito, no ano quarto do reinado de Salomão sobre Israel, no mês de ziv (este é o mês 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 côvados de comprimento, e de vinte côvados de largura, e de trinta côvados de altura.
Inside, [the main part of] the temple was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
3 E o pórtico diante do templo da casa era de vinte côvados de comprimento, segundo a largura da casa, e de dez côvados 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 à casa janelas 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 câmaras, em redor das paredes da casa, tanto do templo como do oráculo: e assim lhe fez câmaras colaterais 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 câmara de baixo era de cinco côvados de largura, e a do meio de seis côvados de largura, e a terceira de sete côvados de largura; porque pela parte de fora 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 câmara do meio estava à banda direita da casa, e por corações se subia à do meio, e da do meio à 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 Também edificou as câmaras a toda a casa de cinco côvados 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 veio 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 juízos, e guardares todos os meus mandamentos, andando neles, confirmarei para contigo a minha palavra, a qual falei a David, teu pai;
“[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 de Israel, e não desampararei o meu povo de Israel.
I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
14 Assim edificou Salomão aquela casa, e a aperfeiçoou.
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
15 Também cobriu as paredes da casa por dentro com tábuas de cedro; desde o soalho da casa até ao teto tudo cobriu com madeira por dentro: e cobriu o soalho da casa com tábuas 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 côvados de tábuas de cedro nos lados da casa, desde o soalho até às paredes: e por dentro lhas edificou para o oráculo, para o Santo dos santos,
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 côvados, 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 oráculo, 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 oráculo no interior era de vinte côvados de comprimento, e de vinte côvados de largura, e de vinte côvados de altura: e o cobriu de ouro puro: também 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 ouro puro: e com cadeias de ouro pôs um véu diante do oráculo, e o cobriu com ouro.
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 ouro, até acabar toda a casa: também todo o altar que estava diante do oráculo cobriu de ouro.
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 oráculo fez dois cherubins de madeira olearia, cada um da altura de dez côvados.
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 dum cherubim era de cinco côvados, e a outra aza do cherubim de outros cinco côvados; dez côvados havia desde a extremidade de uma das suas asas até à extremidade da outra das suas asas.
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 também de dez côvados o outro cherubim: ambos os cherubins eram de uma mesma medida e dum mesmo talhe.
26 A altura dum cherubim de dez côvados, e assim a do outro cherubim.
27 E pôs a estes cherubins no meio da casa de dentro; e os cherubins estendiam as asas, de maneira que a aza dum tocava na parede, e a aza do outro cherubim tocava na outra parede: e as suas asas 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 ouro os cherubins.
They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
29 E todas as paredes da casa em redor lavrou de esculturas e entalhes de cherubins, e de palmas, e de flores abertas, por dentro e por fora.
[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 Também cobriu de ouro o soalho da casa, por dentro e por fora.
They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
31 E à entrada do oráculo 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 Também as duas portas eram de madeira olearia; e lavrou nelas entalhes de cherubins, e de palmas, e de flores abertas, os quais cobriu de ouro: também estendeu ouro 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 à 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 de uma porta eram dobradiças, assim como eram também 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 ouro acomodado 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 Também edificou o pátio interior de três ordens de pedras lavradas e de 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 ano quarto se pôs o fundamento da casa do Senhor, no mês de ziv.
They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
38 E no ano undécimo, no mês de Bul, que é o mês oitavo, se acabou esta casa com todos os seus aparelhos, e com tudo o que lhe convinha: e a edificou em sete anos.
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.
