1 ¶ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in the Mount Moriah which had been shown unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan, the Jebusite.

Solomon a început zidirea Casei Domnului la Ierusalim, pe muntele Moria, care fusese arătat tatălui său David, în locul pregătit de David în aria lui Ornan, Iebusitul.

2 A nd he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

A început să zidească în a doua zi a lunii a doua, în al patrulea an al domniei lui.

3 N ow these are the measurements on which Solomon founded the building of the house of God. The first measurement was the length of sixty cubits and the breadth of twenty cubits.

Iată pe ce temelii a zidit Solomon Casa lui Dumnezeu. Lungimea, în coţi de măsura cea veche a coţilor, era de şasezeci de coţi, iar lăţimea de douăzeci de coţi.

4 A nd the porch that was in the front of the length was of twenty cubits, according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was one hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

Pridvorul dinainte avea douăzeci de coţi lungime, cît era de lată casa, şi o sută douăzeci de coţi înălţime; Solomon l -a acoperit pe dinlăuntru cu aur curat.

5 A nd the greater house he covered with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

A îmbrăcat cu lemn de chiparos casa cea mare, a acoperit -o cu aur curat, şi a săpat pe ea finici şi împletituri de lănţişoare.

6 A nd he also covered the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

A acoperit casa cu pietre scumpe ca podoabă; şi aurul era aur din Parvaim.

7 T hus did he cover the house, its beams, its posts, its walls, and its doors, with gold and engraved cherubim on the walls.

A acoperit cu aur casa, bîrnele, pragurile, pereţii şi uşile, şi a pus să sape heruvimi pe pereţi.

8 A nd he made the house of the holy of holies, its length was twenty cubits, according to the breadth of the house, and its breadth was twenty cubits, and he covered it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

A făcut casa Locului prea sfînt. Ea era lungă de douăzeci de coţi, cît lărgimea casei, şi largă de douăzeci de coţi. A acoperit -o cu aur curat, care preţuia şase sute de talanţi.

9 A nd the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

Greutatea aurului pentru cuie se ridica la cincizeci de sicli. A îmbrăcat cu aur şi odăile de sus.

10 ¶ And inside the house of the holy of holies he made two cherubim of figured work and overlaid them with gold.

A făcut în casa Locului prea sfînt doi heruvimi săpaţi, şi i -a acoperit cu aur.

11 A nd the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long; one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

Aripile heruvimilor aveau o lungime de douăzeci de coţi. Aripa celui dintîi, lungă de cinci coţi, atingea zidul casei; şi cealaltă aripă, lungă tot de cinci coţi, atingea aripa celui de al doilea heruvim.

12 A nd one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

Aripa celui de al doilea heruvim, lungă de cinci coţi, atingea zidul casei; şi cealaltă aripă, lungă tot de cinci coţi, se unea cu aripa celui dintîi heruvim.

13 T he wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

Aripile acestor heruvimi, întinse, aveau douăzeci de coţi. Ei stăteau în picioare, cu faţa întoarsă spre casă.

14 A nd he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and wrought cherubim thereon.

A făcut perdeaua albastră, purpurie şi cărmizie, şi de in supţire, şi a lucrat heruvimi pe ea.

15 A lso he made in front of the house two pillars of thirty-five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

A făcut înaintea casei doi stîlpi de treizeci şi cinci de coţi înălţime, cu un cap de cinci coţi în vîrful lor.

16 A nd he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars and made one hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains.

A făcut nişte reţele ca acelea cari erau în Locul prea sfînt, şi le -a pus pe vîrful stîlpilor. Apoi a făcut o sută de rodii pe cari le -a pus pe reţele.

17 A nd he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left, and called the name of the one on the right hand Jachin, and the name of the one on the left Boaz.

A aşezat stîlpii în partea dinainte a Templului, unul la dreapta şi altul la stînga; a numit pe cel dela dreapta Iachin, şi pe cel dela stînga Boaz.
