1 Reis 6
1 E foi no ano quatrocentos oitenta depois que os filhos de Israel saíram do Egito, no quarto ano do princípio do reino de Salomão sobre Israel, no mês de Zife, que é o mês segundo, que ele 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 A casa que o rei Salomão edificou ao SENHOR, teve sessenta côvados de comprimento e vinte de largura, e 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, de vinte côvados de comprimento, segundo a largura da casa, e sua largura era de dez côvados 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 largas por de dentro, e estreitas por de fora.
There were windows in [the walls of] the temple. The windows were narrower on the outside than on the inside.
5 Edificou também junto ao muro da casa aposentos ao redor, contra as paredes da casa em derredor do templo e do compartimento interno: e fez câmaras ao 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 O aposento de abaixo era de cinco côvados de largura, e o de em meio de seis côvados de largura, e o terceiro de sete côvados de largura: porque por de fora havia feito apoios à casa em derredor, para não introduzir as vigas nas 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 a casa quando se edificou, fabricaram-na de pedras que traziam já acabadas; de tal maneira que quando a edificavam, nem martelos nem machados se ouviram na casa, nem nenhum outro instrumento de ferro.
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 do aposento de em meio estava ao lado direito da casa: e subia-se por um caracol ao de em meio, e do aposento de em meio ao terceiro.
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 Lavrou, pois, a casa, e acabou-a; e cobriu a casa com artesanatos de cedro.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished building the [framework of the] temple. They made the ceiling from cedar beams and boards.
10 E edificou também o aposento em derredor de toda a casa, de altura de cinco côvados, o qual se apoiava na casa com madeiras 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 E veio a palavra do SENHOR a Salomão, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said this to Solomon:
12 Esta casa que tu edificas, se andares em meus estatutos, e fizeres meus direitos, e guardares todos meus mandamentos andando neles, eu terei firme contigo minha palavra que falei a Davi 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 em meio dos filhos de Israel, e não deixarei a meu povo Israel.
I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
14 Assim que, Salomão preparou a casa, e acabou-a.
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
15 E preparou as paredes da casa por de dentro com tábuas de cedro, revestindo-a de madeira por dentro, desde o piso da casa até as paredes do teto: cobriu também o pavimento com madeira 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 Também fez ao fim da casa um edifício de vinte côvados de tábuas de cedro, desde o piso até o mais alto; e fabricou-se na casa um compartimento interno, que é o lugar santíssimo.
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 E a casa, a saber, o templo de dentro, tinha quarenta côvados.
In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.
18 E a casa estava coberta de cedro por de dentro, e tinha entalhaduras de frutos silvestres e de botões de flores. Todo era cedro; nenhuma pedra 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 adornou o compartimento interno por de dentro no meio da casa, para pôr ali a arca do pacto do SENHOR.
At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.
20 E o compartimento interno estava na parte de dentro, o qual tinha vinte côvados de comprimento, e outros vinte de largura, e outros vinte de altura; e revestiu-o de ouro puríssimo: também cobriu o altar de cedro.
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 De sorte que revestiu Salomão de ouro puro a casa por de dentro, e fechou a entrada do compartimento interno com correntes de ouro, e revestiu-o de 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 Cobriu, pois, de ouro toda a casa até o fim; e também revestiu de ouro todo o altar que estava diante do compartimento interno.
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 Fez também no compartimento interno dois querubins de madeira de oliva, cada um de 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 A uma asa do querubim tinha cinco côvados, e a outra asa do querubim outros cinco côvados: assim que havia dez côvados desde a ponta da uma asa até a ponta da outra.
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 Também o outro querubim tinha dez côvados; porque ambos os querubins eram de um tamanho e de uma feitura.
26 A altura do um era de dez côvados, e também o outro.
27 E pôs estes querubins dentro da casa de dentro: os quais querubins estendiam suas asas, de modo que a asa do um tocava à parede, e a asa do outro querubim tocava à outra parede, e as outras duas asas se tocavam a uma à outra na metade da casa.
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 revestiu de ouro os querubins.
They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
29 E esculpiu todas as paredes da casa ao redor de diversas figuras, de querubins, de palmas, e de botões de flores, por de dentro e por de 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 E cobriu de ouro o piso da casa, de dentro e de fora.
They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
31 E à entrada do compartimento interno fez portas de madeira de oliva; e o umbral e os postes eram de cinco esquinas.
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 As duas portas eram de madeira de oliva; e entalhou nelas figuras de querubins e de palmas e de botões de flores, e cobriu-as de ouro: cobriu também de ouro os querubins e 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 Igualmente fez à porta do templo postes de madeira de oliva quadrados.
They made a rectangular door frame from olive tree wood, and put it [between the entrance room and] the main room.
34 Porém as duas portas eram de madeira de faia; e os dois lados da uma porta eram redondos, e os outros dois lados da outra porta também redondos.
They made two folding doors from cypress wood [and fastened them to the door frame].
35 E entalhou nelas querubins e palmas e botões de flores, e cobriu-as de ouro ajustado às entalhaduras.
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 E edificou o átrio 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 quarto ano, no mês de Zife, se lançaram os alicerces da casa do SENHOR:
They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
38 E no décimo primeiro ano, no mês de Bul, que é o mês oitavo, foi acabada a casa com todas seus partes, e com todo o necessário. Edificou-a, pois, 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.
