1 S olomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all of it.

Salomão levou treze anos para terminar a construção do seu palácio.

2 H e built the house of the trees of Lebanon. It was as long as fifty long steps, as wide as twenty-five long steps, and eight times taller than a man. It was built on four rows of cedar pillars, and large pieces of cedar wood lying on top of the pillars.

Ele construiu o Palácio da Floresta do Líbano com quarenta e cinco metros de comprimento, vinte e dois metros e meio de largura e treze metros e meio de altura, sustentado por quatro fileiras de colunas de cedro sobre as quais apoiavam-se vigas de cedro aparelhadas.

3 A nd it was covered with cedar above the rooms that were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.

O forro, de cedro, ficava sobre as quarenta e cinco vigas, quinze por fileira, que se apoiavam nas colunas.

4 T here were three rows of special windows on one side, and three rows of windows on the other side.

Havia janelas dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra.

5 A ll the doors and windows were as high as they were wide. And there were three rows of windows on each side.

Todas as portas tinham estrutura retangular; ficavam na parte da frente, dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra.

6 T hen he made a room for walking through of large pillars. It was as long as twenty-five long steps, and as wide as fifteen long steps. There was a porch in front with pillars, and an overhead covering in front of them.

Fez um pórtico de colunas de vinte e dois metros e meio de comprimento e treze metros e meio de largura. Em frente havia outro pórtico com colunas e uma cobertura que se estendia além das colunas.

7 H e made a room for the throne, the room for judging. It was where he would decide between right and wrong. It was covered with cedar from the floor to the roof.

Construiu a Sala do Trono, isto é, a Sala da Justiça, onde iria julgar, e revestiu-a de cedro desde o chão até o teto.

8 H is own house where he was to live, in the place behind the throne room, was built the same way. Solomon made a house like this room for Pharaoh’s daughter also, whom he had married.

E o palácio para sua moradia, no outro pátio, tinha um formato semelhante. Salomão fez também um palácio como esse para a filha do faraó, com quem tinha se casado.

9 A ll these were made with stones of much worth, each one cut to be put into place. They were cut with saws, inside and outside, from the very base to the top of the roof, and from the outside to the largest room.

Todas essas construções, desde o lado externo até o grande pátio e do alicerce até o beiral, foram feitas de pedra de qualidade superior, cortadas sob medida e desbastadas com uma serra nos lados interno e externo.

10 T he base of the building was made with large stones of much worth. The stones were as long as five long steps, and four long steps.

Os alicerces foram lançados com pedras grandes de qualidade superior, algumas medindo quatro metros e meio e outras três metros e sessenta centímetros.

11 A bove this were stones of much worth, cut to go well into place, and cedar.

Na parte de cima havia pedras de qualidade superior, cortadas sob medida, e vigas de cedro.

12 T he largest room had three rows of cut stone around it, and a row of cedar pieces. The same was around the open space in the house of the Lord, and the porch of the house. Hiram—the Able Workman

O grande pátio era cercado por um muro de três camadas de pedras lavradas e uma camada de vigas de cedro aparelhadas, da mesma maneira que o pátio interior do templo do Senhor, com o seu pórtico. Os Utensílios do Templo

13 N ow King Solomon brought Hiram from Tyre.

O rei Salomão enviara mensageiros a Tiro e trouxera Hurão,

14 H iram was the son of a woman whose husband had died, from the family of Naphtali. His father was a man of Tyre, who worked with brass. He was filled with wisdom and understanding and much learning for doing any work with brass. So he came to King Solomon, and did all his work. The Two Brass Pillars

filho de uma viúva da tribo de Naftali e de um cidadão de Tiro, artífice em bronze. Hurão era extremamente hábil e experiente, e sabia fazer todo tipo de trabalho em bronze. Apresentou-se ao rei Salomão e fez depois todo o trabalho que lhe foi designado.

15 H e made the two pillars of brass. One of them was five times taller than a man. And the length around each of them was as far as six long steps.

Ele fundiu duas colunas de bronze, cada uma com oito metros e dez centímetros de altura e cinco metros e quarenta centímetros de circunferência, medidas pelo fio apropriado.

16 H e made two top pieces of melted brass to set on the tops of the pillars. One piece to go on top was as tall as a man can raise his hand. And the other piece to go on top was as tall as a man can raise his hand.

Também fez dois capitéis de bronze fundido para colocar no alto das colunas; cada capitel tinha dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura.

17 H e made nets of network and turned strings of chain-work for the pieces on top of the pillars. There were seven for one top piece, and seven for the other.

Conjuntos de correntes entrelaçadas ornamentavam os capitéis no alto das colunas, sete em cada capitel.

18 S o Hiram made the pillars. There were two rows of pomegranates around each network, to cover the top pieces.

Fez também romãs em duas fileiras que circundavam cada conjunto de correntes para cobrir os capitéis no alto das colunas. Fez o mesmo com cada capitel.

19 N ow the top pieces on the pillars of the porch were made to look like lily flowers, as tall as a man.

Os capitéis no alto das colunas do pórtico tinham o formato de lírios, com um metro e oitenta centímetros de altura.

20 T he top pieces were upon the two pillars, and above the round part beside the network. There were 200 pomegranates in rows around both top pieces.

Nos capitéis das duas colunas, acima da parte que tinha formato de taça, perto do conjunto de correntes, havia duzentas romãs enfileiradas ao redor.

21 H e set up the pillars at the porch of the house. He set up the right pillar and called it Jachin. And he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.

Ele levantou as colunas na frente do pórtico do templo. Deu o nome de Jaquim à coluna ao sul e de Boaz à coluna ao norte.

22 T he top pieces on the pillars were made to look like lily flowers. So the work of the pillars was finished. The Brass Pool

Os capitéis no alto tinham a forma de lírios. E assim completou-se o trabalho das colunas.

23 N ow he made a large brass water pool. It was round, and as wide as five long steps. It was as tall as a man can raise his hand. And the length around it was as far as fifteen long steps.

Fez o tanque de metal fundido, redondo, medindo quatro metros e meio de diâmetro e dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura. Era preciso um fio de treze metros e meio para medir a sua circunferência.

24 G ourds went around the top of the pool. There were ten of them for every cubit. The gourds were in two rows, and made right in with the pool.

Abaixo da borda e ao seu redor havia duas fileiras de frutos, de cinco em cinco centímetros, fundidas numa só peça com o tanque.

25 T he pool stood on the backs of twelve bulls made of brass. Three looked to the north. Three looked to the west. Three looked to the south. And three looked to the east. The water was set on top of them, and their back parts turned toward the center.

O tanque ficava sobre doze touros, três voltados para o norte, três para o oeste, três para o sul e três para o leste. Ficava em cima deles, e as pernas traseiras dos touros eram voltadas para o centro.

26 T he side of the pool was as far through as the width of a man’s open hand. Its round top was made like the top of a cup, like a lily flower. It could hold 2, 000 bottles of water. The Brass Stands

A espessura do tanque era de quatro dedos, e sua borda era como a borda de um cálice, como uma flor de lírio. Sua capacidade era de quarenta mil litros.

27 T hen he made the ten stands of brass. Each stand was as long as two long steps, as wide as two long steps, and as high as a man’s neck.

Também fez dez carrinhos de bronze; cada um tinha um metro e oitenta centímetros de comprimento e de largura, e um metro e trinta e cinco centímetros de altura.

28 T his is how the stands were made. They had sides of the same length between the cross-pieces.

Os carrinhos eram feitos assim: tinham placas laterais presas a armações.

29 O n the side pieces between the cross-pieces were lions, bulls and cherubim. On the side pieces, both above and below the lions and bulls, there were round pieces of hanging work.

Nas placas, entre as armações, havia figuras de leões, bois e querubins; sobre as armações, acima e abaixo dos leões e bois, havia grinaldas de metal batido.

30 E ach stand had four brass wheels on straight pieces of brass. At the four corners were pieces to hold up the basin. These pieces were made of melted brass with round pieces at each side.

Em cada carrinho havia quatro rodas de bronze com eixos de bronze, cada um com uma bacia apoiada em quatro pés e fundida ao lado de cada grinalda.

31 I ts opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit. It was round like a pillar, one and a half cubits deep. There were pictures cut on its opening. And their sides were not round, but had four sides of the same length.

No lado de dentro do carrinho havia uma abertura circular com quarenta e cinco centímetros de profundidade. Essa abertura era redonda e, com sua base, media setenta centímetros. Havia esculturas em torno da abertura. As placas dos carrinhos eram quadradas, e não redondas.

32 U nder the sides were the four wheels. The pieces that held the wheels were on the stand. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits.

As quatro rodas ficavam sob as placas, e os eixos das rodas ficavam presos ao estrado. O diâmetro de cada roda era de setenta centímetros.

33 T he wheels were made like the wheel of a war-wagon. The straight pieces which held the wheels, the outside of the wheels, their crosspieces and their center pieces were all made of one piece of brass.

As rodas eram feitas como rodas de carros; os eixos, os aros, os raios e os cubos eram todos de metal fundido.

34 T here were four pieces at the four corners of each stand to hold it up. These were of one piece with the stands.

Havia quatro cabos que se projetavam do carrinho, um em cada canto.

35 A narrow piece went all the way around the top that held it up and the sides were of one piece.

No alto do carrinho havia uma lâmina circular de vinte e dois centímetros de altura. Os apoios e as placas estavam fixados no alto do carrinho.

36 H e cut pictures of cherubim, lions and palm trees in the plates of the parts that held it up and on its sides, where there was room. And there were pictures all around.

Ele esculpiu figuras de querubins, leões e tamareiras na superfície dos apoios e nas placas, em cada espaço disponível, com grinaldas ao redor.

37 H e made the ten stands like this. All of them were made alike. They had the same length, width and height, and looked the same.

Foi assim que fez os dez carrinhos. Foram todos fundidos nos mesmos moldes e eram idênticos no tamanho e na forma.

38 H e made ten basins of brass. One basin held 40 bottles of water. Each one was as wide as two long steps. And one basin was on each of the ten stands.

Depois ele fez dez pias de bronze, cada uma com capacidade de oitocentos litros, medindo um metro e oitenta centímetros de diâmetro; uma pia para cada um dos dez carrinhos.

39 T hen he put the stands in place. Five were on the south side of the house, and five were on the north side of the house. And he set the large basin of brass on the southeast corner of the house.

Ele pôs cinco carrinhos no lado sul do templo e cinco no lado norte. Pôs o tanque no lado sul, no canto sudeste do templo.

40 H iram made the basins, and the objects for digging, and the pots. So Hiram finished doing all the work for King Solomon in the house of the Lord.

Também fez os jarros, as pás e as bacias para aspersão. Assim, Hurão completou todo o trabalho de que fora encarregado pelo rei Salomão, no templo do Senhor:

41 H e made the two pillars, and the two pots of the top pieces on the top of the two pillars. And he made the two networks to cover the two pots of the pieces on top of the pillars.

as duas colunas; os dois capitéis em forma de taça no alto das colunas; os dois conjuntos de correntes que decoravam os dois capitéis;

42 H e made the 400 pomegranates for the two networks. There were two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two pots of the pieces on top of the pillars.

as quatrocentas romãs para os dois conjuntos de correntes, sendo duas fileiras de romãs para cada conjunto;

43 H e made the ten stands with the ten basins on top of them.

os dez carrinhos com as suas dez pias;

44 H e made the large basin and the twelve bulls under it.

o tanque e os doze touros debaixo dele;

45 H e made the pails, the objects for digging, and the pots. All these things which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were made of shining brass.

e os jarros, as pás e as bacias de aspersão. Todos esses utensílios que Hurão fez a pedido do rei Salomão para o templo do Senhor eram de bronze polido.

46 T he king made them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Foi na planície do Jordão, entre Sucote e Zaretã, que o rei os mandou fundir, em moldes de barro.

47 S olomon did not weigh any of the objects, because there were too many. The weight of the brass was not known.

Salomão não mandou pesar esses utensílios; eram tantos que o peso do bronze não foi determinado.

48 S olomon made all the holy things which were in the house of the Lord. He made the gold altar and the gold table for the bread before the Lord.

Além desses, Salomão mandou fazer também estes outros utensílios para o templo do Senhor: O altar de ouro; a mesa de ouro sobre a qual ficavam os pães da Presença;

49 H e made the lamp-stands of pure gold. There were five on the right side and five on the left side, in front of the most holy place. He made the flowers and the lamps and their objects out of gold.

os candelabros de ouro puro, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda, em frente do santuário interno; as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes de ouro;

50 H e made the cups, the objects to put out the lamps, the pots, the dishes for special perfume, and the fire-holders, of pure gold. He made the hinges of gold, for the doors of the most holy place and for the doors of the house.

as bacias, os cortadores de pavio, as bacias para aspersão, as tigelas e os incensários; e as dobradiças de ouro para as portas da sala interna, isto é, o Lugar Santíssimo, e também para as portas do átrio principal.

51 S o all the work that King Solomon did in the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which had been set apart by his father David, the silver and the gold and the holy things. He put them in the store-houses of the house of the Lord.

Terminada toda a obra que Salomão realizou para o templo do Senhor, ele trouxe tudo o que seu pai havia consagrado e colocou junto com os tesouros do templo do Senhor: a prata, o ouro e os utensílios.
