1 S ucedeu, pois, que no ano quatrocentos e oitenta depois de saírem os filhos de Israel da terra do Egito, no quarto ano do reinado de Salomão sobre Israel, no mês de zive, que é o segundo mês, começou-se a edificar a casa do Senhor.

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.

2 O ra, a casa que e rei Salomão edificou ao Senhor era de sessenta côvados de comprimento, vinte côvados de largura, e trinta côvados de altura.

The house which king Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.

3 E o pórtico diante do templo da casa era de vinte côvados de comprimento, segundo a largura da casa, e de dez côvados de largura.

The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.

4 E fez para a casa janelas de gelósias fixas.

He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.

5 E dificou andares em torno da casa, contra a parede, tanto do templo como do oráculo, fazendo assim câmaras laterais ao seu redor.

Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.

6 A câmara de baixo era de cinco côvados, a do meio de seis côvados, e a terceira de sete côvados de largura. E do lado de fora, ao redor da casa, fez pilastras de reforço, para que as vigas não se apoiassem nas paredes da casa.

The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.

7 E edificava-se a casa com pedras lavradas na pedreira; de maneira que nem martelo, nem machado, nem qualquer outro instrumento de ferro se ouviu na casa enquanto estava sendo edificada.

The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.

8 A porta para as câmaras laterais do meio estava ã banda direita da casa; e por escadas espirais subia-se ao andar do meio, e deste ao terceiro.

The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.

9 A ssim, pois, edificou a casa, e a acabou, cobrindo-a com traves e pranchas de cedro.

So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.

10 T ambém edificou os andares, contra toda a casa, de cinco côvados de altura, e os ligou ã casa com madeira de cedro.

He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

11 E ntão veio a palavra do Senhor a Salomão, dizendo:

Yahweh’s word came to Solomon, saying,

12 Q uanto a esta casa que tu estás edificando, se andares nos meus estatutos, e executares os meus preceitos, e guardares todos os meus mandamentos, andando neles, confirmarei para contigo a minha palavra, que falei a Davi, teu pai;

“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.

13 e habitarei no meio dos filhos de Israel, e não desampararei o meu povo de Israel.

I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”

14 S alomão, pois, edificou aquela casa, e a acabou.

So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

15 T ambém cobriu as paredes da casa por dentro com tábuas de cedro; desde o soalho da casa até e teto, tudo cobriu com madeira por dentro; e cobriu o soalho da casa com tábuas de cipreste.

He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.

16 A vinte côvados do fundo da casa fez de tábuas de cedro uma divisão, de altura igual ã do teto; e por dentro a preparou para o oráculo, isto é, para a lugar santíssimo.

He built twenty cubits on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built them for it within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.

17 E era a casa, isto é, o templo fronteiro ao oráculo, de quarenta côvados de comprido.

In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits.

18 O cedro da casa por dentro era lavrado de botões e flores abertas; tudo era cedro; pedra nenhuma se via.

There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.

19 N o meio da casa, na parte mais interior, preparou o oráculo, para pôr ali a arca do pacto do Senhor.

He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant there.

20 E o oráculo era, por dentro, de vinte côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e vinte de altura; e o cobriu de ouro puro. Também cobriu de cedro o altar.

Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he covered the altar with cedar.

21 S alomão, pois, cobriu a casa por dentro de ouro puro; e estendeu cadeias de ouro diante do oráculo, que cobriu também de ouro.

So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.

22 A ssim cobriu inteiramente de ouro a casa toda; também cobriu de ouro todo oe altar doe oráculo.

He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.

23 N o oráculo fez dois querubins de madeira de oliveira, cada um com dez côvados de altura.

In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

24 U ma asa de um querubim era de cinco côvados, e a outra de cinco côvados; dez côvados havia desde a extremidade de uma das suas asas até a extremidade da outra.

Five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.

25 A ssim era também o outro querubim; ambos os querubins eram da mesma medida e do mesmo talho.

The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

26 U m querubim tinha dez côvados de altura, e assim também o outro.

One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.

27 E pôs os querubins na parte mais interior da casa. As asas dos querubins se estendiam de maneira que a asa de um tocava numa parede, e a do outro na outra parede, e as suas asas no meio da casa tocavam uma na outra.

He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.

28 T ambém cobriu de ouro os querubins.

He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29 Q uanto a todas as paredes da casa em redor, entalhou-as de querubins, de palmas e de palmas abertas, tanto na parte mais interior como na mais exterior.

He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.

30 T ambém cobriu de ouro o soalho da casa, de uma e de outra parte.

He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.

31 E para a entrada do oráculo fez portas de madeira de oliveira; a verga com os umbrais faziam a quinta parte da parede.

For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.

32 A ssim fez as duas portas de madeira de oliveira; e entalhou-as de querubins, de palmas e de flores abertas, que cobriu de ouro também estendeu ouro sobre os querubins e sobre as palmas.

So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.

33 A ssim também fez para a porta do templo umbrais de madeira de oliveira, que constituíam a quarta parte da parede;

He also did so for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;

34 E eram as duas partes de madeira de cipreste; e as duas folhas duma porta eram dobradiças, como também as duas folhas da outra porta.

and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

35 E as lavrou de querubins, de palmas e de flores abertas; e as cobriu de ouro acomodado ao lavor.

He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.

36 T ambém edificou o átrio interior de três ordens de pedras lavradas e de uma ordem de vigas de cedro.

He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.

37 N o quarto ano se pôs o fundamento da casa do Senhor, no mês de zive.

The foundation of Yahweh’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.

38 E no undécimo ano, no mês de bul, que é o oitavo mês, se acabou esta casa com todas as suas dependências, e com tudo o que lhe convinha. Assim levou sete anos para edificá-la.

In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
