2 Crónicas 3
1 Entonces Salomón comenzó a construir el Templo del Señor en Jerusalén, en el monte Moriah, donde el Señor se apareció a su padre David. Este era el lugar que David había dispuesto: la antigua era de Ornán el jebuseo.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord, in Jerusalem on mount Moriah, as it had been shown to David his father, at the place which David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Salomón comenzó la construcción el segundo día del segundo mes de su cuarto año como rey.
Now he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 El tamaño de los cimientos que Salomón puso para el Templo de Dios era de sesenta codos de largo y veinte de ancho, (según la antigua medida de codos).
And these are the foundations, which Solomon set forth so that he might build the house of God: the length in cubits by the first measure sixty, the width in cubits twenty.
4 El pórtico que corría a lo ancho del Templo tenía veinte codos de largo y veinte codos de altura. Cubrió el interior del pórtico con oro puro.
Truly, at the front, the portico, which was extended in length according to the measure of the width of the house, was of twenty cubits. Then the height was of one hundred twenty cubits. And he overlaid it on the interior with the purest gold.
5 Recubrió la sala principal con ciprés recubierto de oro fino, con imágenes de palmeras y cadenas.
Also, he covered the greater house with wooden panels of spruce, and he affixed layers of refined gold through it all. And he engraved in them palm trees, and the likeness of little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Decoró el Templo con hermosas gemas y con oro que importó de Parvaim.
Also, he paved the floor of the temple with the most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Cubrió de oro las vigas, los umbrales, las paredes y las puertas del Templo, y esculpió querubines en las paredes.
Now the gold, with which he covered in layers the house and its beams and posts and walls and doors, was highly refined. And he engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Hizo que la sala del Lugar Santísimo se correspondiera con la anchura del Templo: veinte codos de largo y veinte de ancho. Cubrió el interior con seiscientos talentos de oro fino.
Also, he made the house of the Holy of Holies. Its length, in accord with the width of the temple, was of twenty cubits. And its width, similarly, was of twenty cubits. And he covered it with layers of gold, of about six hundred talents.
9 El peso de los clavos era de un siclo por cada cincuenta siclos de oro.
Then he also made nails of gold, such that each nail weighed fifty shekels. Also, he covered the upper rooms in gold.
10 Hizo para el Lugar Santísimo dos querubines de madera cubiertos de oro.
Now he also made, in the house of the Holy of Holies, two cherubim as a work of statues. And he covered them with gold.
11 La envergadura de los querubines juntos era de veinte codos. Un ala del primer querubín medía cinco codos y tocaba una de las paredes del Templo, mientras que su otra ala, también de cinco codos, tocaba el segundo querubín.
The wings of the cherubim extended for twenty cubits, such that one wing had five cubits and it touched the wall of the house, and the other, having five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Del mismo modo, una de las alas del segundo querubín medía cinco codos y tocaba una de las paredes del Templo, mientras que su otra ala, que también medía cinco codos, tocaba al primer querubín.
Similarly, the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, and it touched the wall, and his other wing of five cubits also touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Así que la envergadura de estos querubines juntos era de veinte codos. Estaban de pie, de cara a la sala principal.
And so the wings of both cherubim were stretched out and extended for twenty cubits. Now they were standing upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the exterior house.
14 Hizo el velo de bordado azul, púrpura y carmesí sobre lino fino, con imágenes de querubines.
Also, he made a veil from hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. And he wove within it cherubim.
15 Hizo dos columnas para la fachada del Templo, de treinta y cinco codos, cada una con un capitel de cinco codos de altura.
And also, before the doors of the temple, there were two pillars, having a height of thirty-five cubits. But their heads were of five cubits.
16 Hizo cadenas como en el Lugar Santísimo y las colocó encima de las columnas. También hizo cien granadas ornamentales y las fijó a cada cadena.
Then too, there were something like little chains on the oracle, and he placed these upon the heads of the pillars. And there were one hundred pomegranates, which he placed between the little chains.
17 Colocó las columnas frente al Templo, una al sur y otra al norte. A la columna del sur le puso el nombre de Jaquín, y a la del norte el de Booz.
Also, he placed these pillars in the vestibule of the temple, one to the right, and the other to the left. The one that was on the right, he called Jachin; and the one that was on the left, Boaz.
