2 Crônicas 3
1 E começou Salomão a edificar a casa do Senhor em Jerusalém, no monte de Moria, onde o Senhor se tinha mostrado a David seu pai, no lugar que David tinha preparado na eira d'Ornan, jebuseu.
Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
2 E começou a edificar no segundo mes, no dia segundo, no ano quarto do seu reinado.
They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
3 E estes foram os fundamentos que Salomão pôs para edificar a casa de Deus: o comprimento em côvados, segundo a medida primeira, de sessenta côvados, e a largura de vinte côvados.
The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
4 E o alpendre, que estava na frente, de comprimento segundo a largura da casa, era de vinte côvados, e a altura de cento e vinte: o que dentro cobriu com ouro puro.
The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
5 E a casa grande cobriu com madeira de faia; e então a cobriu com ouro fino: e fez sobre ela palmas e cadeias.
Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
6 Também a casa adornou de pedras preciosas para ornamento: e o ouro era ouro de Parvaim.
They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
7 Também na casa cobriu as traves, os umbrais, e as suas paredes, e as suas portas, com ouro: e lavrou cherubins nas paredes.
They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
8 Fez mais a casa da santidade das santidades, cujo comprimento, segundo a largura da casa, era de vinte côvados, e a sua largura de vinte côvados: e cobriu-a de ouro fino, do peso de seiscentos talentos.
They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
9 O peso dos pregos era de cincoênta siclos de ouro: e os cenáculos cobriu de ouro.
They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
10 Também fez na casa da santidade das santidades dois cherubins de feição de andantes, e cobriu-os de ouro.
Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
11 E, quanto às asas dos cherubins, o seu comprimento era de vinte côvados; a aza dum deles de cinco côvados, e tocava na parede da casa; e a outra aza de cinco côvados, e tocava na aza do outro cherubim.
[Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
12 Também a aza do outro cherubim era de cinco côvados, e tocava na parede da casa: era também a outra aza de cinco côvados, e estava pegada à aza do outro cherubim.
13 E as asas destes cherubins se estendiam vinte côvados: e estavam postos em pé, e os seus rostos virados para a casa.
It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
14 Também fez o véu de azul, e púrpura, e carmezim, e linho fino: e pôs sobre ele cherubins.
Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
15 Fez também diante da casa duas colunas de trinta e cinco côvados de altura: e o capitel, que estava sobre cada uma, era de cinco côvados.
They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
16 Também fez as cadeias, como no oráculo, e as pôs sobre as cabeças das colunas: fez também cem romãs, as quais pôs entre as cadeias.
The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
17 E levantou as colunas diante do templo, uma à direita, e outra à esquerda; e chamou o nome da que estava à direita Jachin, e o nome da que estava à esquerda Boaz.
They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
