2 Crônicas 3
1 Então Salomão começou a construir a casa de Javé em Jerusalém no Monte Moriah, onde Javé apareceu a Davi, seu pai, que ele preparou no lugar que Davi havia designado, na eira de Ornan, o 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 Ele começou a construir no segundo dia do segundo mês, no quarto ano de seu reinado.
They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
3 Now estas são as fundações que Salomão lançou para a construção da casa de Deus: o comprimento em cúbitos após a primeira medida era de sessenta cúbitos, e a largura de vinte cúbitos.
The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
4 A varanda que estava na frente, seu comprimento, através da largura da casa, era de vinte côvados, e a altura de cento e vinte côvados; e ele a revestiu por dentro com ouro puro.
The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
5 Ele fez o quarto maior com um teto de madeira de cipreste, que revestiu com ouro fino, e o ornamentou com palmeiras e correntes.
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 Ele decorou a casa com pedras preciosas para a beleza. 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 Ele também revestiu a casa, as vigas, as soleiras, suas paredes e suas portas com ouro, e gravou querubins 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 Ele fez o lugar mais sagrado. Seu comprimento, de acordo com a largura da casa, era de vinte côvados, e sua largura de vinte côvados; e ele o revestiu com ouro fino, totalizando 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 cinqüenta siclos de ouro. Ele cobriu os cômodos superiores com 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 No lugar mais sagrado ele fez dois querubins esculpindo, e eles os revestiram com 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 As asas dos querubins tinham vinte côvados de comprimento: a asa de um tinha cinco côvados, chegando até a parede da casa; e a outra asa tinha cinco côvados, chegando até a asa do outro querubim.
[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 A asa do outro querubim tinha cinco côvados, alcançando a parede da casa; e a outra asa tinha cinco côvados, alcançando a asa do outro querubim.
13 As asas destes querubins se estendiam por vinte côvados. Eles ficaram de pé e seus rostos estavam voltados 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 Ele fez o véu de azul, roxo, carmesim e linho fino, e o ornamentou com querubins.
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 Também fez diante da casa dois pilares de trinta e cinco cúbitos de altura, e a capital que estava no topo de cada um deles era de cinco cúbitos.
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 Ele fez correntes no santuário interior, e as colocou no topo dos pilares; e fez cem romãs, e as colocou sobre as correntes.
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 Ele montou os pilares diante do templo, um à direita e outro à esquerda; e chamou o nome daquele à direita de Jachin, e o nome daquele à esquerda de 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.
