2 Chronicles 3

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 Então Salomão iniciou a construção do templo do Senhor em Jerusalém, no alto do monte Moriá, onde o Senhor havia aparecido ao rei Davi, pai de Salomão, no antigo terreiro de cereais de Araúna, o jebuseu, lugar que havia sido designado por Davi.

2 Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.

2 A construção começou no segundo dia do segundo mês do quarto ano do reinado de Salomão.

3 The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.

3 O alicerce que Salomão lançou para o templo do Senhor tinha vinte e sete metros de comprimento e nove metros de largura.

4 The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.

4 Havia um alpendre na entrada do templo de nove metros de largura, com as paredes internas e o teto forrados de ouro! O telhado ficava a nove metros de altura.

5 He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.

5 A parte central do templo era forrada com madeira de cipreste, coberta com placas de ouro, e nela havia desenhos de palmeiras e de correntes.

6 He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.

6 Havia lindos ornamentos de pedras preciosas fixados nas paredes. O ouro, da melhor qualidade, era de Parvaim.

7 He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.

7 Todas as paredes, as vigas de madeira, as portas e os batentes que havia no templo foram revestidos de ouro, e havia figuras de querubins gravadas nas paredes.

8 Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.

8 Dentro do templo, numa das extremidades, ficava o lugar mais sagrado de todos, o Lugar Santíssimo, com nove metros de comprimento por nove metros de largura, igual à largura do templo. Também esse lugar estava coberto com vinte e uma toneladas de ouro da melhor qualidade.

9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

9 Os pregos de ouro usados pesavam seiscentos gramas. As salas de cima também eram revestidas de ouro.

10 In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.

10 No Lugar Santíssimo, Salomão colocou duas estátuas de querubins, revestidas de ouro,

11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.

11 com as asas estendidas; juntas mediam nove metros. Cada asa media dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros, e tocava a parede de um lado,

12 The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.

12 e a asa do outro querubim tocava a parede do outro lado.

13 So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.

13 Dessa forma, os querubins com as asas abertas se estendiam por nove metros, e estavam em pé, de frente para a parte central do templo.

14 He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.

14 Para fechar a entrada dessa sala, ele colocou uma cortina de tecido azul, roxo, vermelho e de linho fino, enfeitada com figuras de querubins.

15 In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.

15 Na frente do templo havia duas colunas que juntas tinham a altura de dezesseis metros, e no alto de cada coluna havia um enfeite de dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros.

16 He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.

16 Ele fez correntes entrelaçadas e as colocou no alto das colunas, com cem romãs presas em cada corrente.

17 Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.

17 Depois levantou as colunas na frente do templo, uma do lado direito e a outra do lado esquerdo. Deu o nome de Jaquim à coluna da direita, e o nome de Boaz à coluna da esquerda.
