2 Crónicas 3
1 Salomón comenzó a edificar la Casa de Yahvé en Jerusalén, en el monte Moriah, donde Yahvé se había aparecido a David su padre, la cual preparó en el lugar que David había designado, en la era de Ornán el jebuseo.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Comenzó a construir en el segundo día del segundo mes, en el cuarto año de su reinado.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Estos son los cimientos que Salomón puso para el edificio de la casa de Dios: la longitud por codos después de la primera medida era de sesenta codos, y la anchura de veinte codos.
Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits.
4 El pórtico que estaba delante, su longitud, a lo ancho de la casa, era de veinte codos, y la altura de ciento veinte; y lo recubrió por dentro con oro puro.
And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Hizo la sala mayor con un techo de madera de ciprés, que recubrió de oro fino, y la adornó con palmeras y cadenas.
And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Decoró la casa con piedras preciosas para embellecerla. El oro era de Parvaim.
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 También recubrió de oro la casa, las vigas, los umbrales, las paredes y las puertas, y grabó querubines en las paredes.
And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Hizo el lugar santísimo. Su longitud, según la anchura de la casa, era de veinte codos, y su anchura de veinte codos; y lo recubrió de oro fino, que ascendía a seiscientos talentos.
He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 El peso de los clavos era de cincuenta siclos de oro. Recubrió de oro las habitaciones superiores.
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 En el lugar santísimo hizo dos querubines tallados, y los recubrió de oro.
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Las alas de los querubines medían veinte codos; el ala de uno de ellos medía cinco codos y llegaba hasta la pared de la Casa; la otra ala medía cinco codos y llegaba hasta el ala del otro querubín.
The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub.
12 El ala del otro querubín medía cinco codos y llegaba hasta la pared de la casa; la otra ala medía cinco codos y se unía al ala del otro querubín.
In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Las alas de estos querubines se extendían veinte codos. Estaban de pie, y sus rostros se dirigían hacia la casa.
So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 Hizo el velo de azul, púrpura, carmesí y lino fino, y lo adornó con querubines.
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 También hizo delante de la casa dos columnas de treinta y cinco codos de altura, y el capitel que estaba en la parte superior de cada una de ellas era de cinco codos.
He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
16 Hizo cadenas en el santuario interior y las puso en la parte superior de las columnas; hizo cien granadas y las puso en las cadenas.
He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains.
17 Colocó las columnas delante del templo, una a la derecha y otra a la izquierda, y llamó al de la derecha Jaquín, y al de la izquierda Boaz.
These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
