1 T hen Solomon began to build the Lord’s house in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah. It was there that the Lord had shown Himself to his father David. It was the place that David had chosen, on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Então Salomão começou a edificar a casa do Senhor em Jerusalém, no monte Moriá, onde o Senhor aparecera a Davi, seu pai, no lugar que Davi tinha preparado na eira de Ornã, o jebuseu.

2 S olomon began to build on the second day in the second month of the fourth year of his rule.

Começou a edificar no segundo dia do segundo mês, no quarto ano do seu reinado.

3 H e laid the base for building the house of God. It was thirty long steps, using the old way to find the length. And it was ten long steps wide.

Estes foram os fundamentos que Salomão pôs para edificar a casa de Deus. O comprimento em côvados, segundo a primitiva medida, era de sessenta côvados, e a largura de vinte côvados:

4 T he porch in front of the house was as long as the house was wide, ten long steps. It was thirty-three times taller than a man. And he covered the inside with pure gold.

O pórtico que estava na frente tinha vinte côvados de comprimento, correspondendo ã largura da casa, e a altura era de cento e vinte; e por dentro o revestiu de ouro puro.

5 H e covered the large room with cypress wood, and covered that with fine gold. Then he made palm trees and chains on it.

A câmara maior forrou com madeira de cipreste e a cobriu de ouro fino, no qual gravou palmas e cadeias.

6 H e put stones of much worth on the house for beauty. And the gold was from Parvaim.

Para ornamento guarneceu a câmara de pedras preciosas; e o ouro era ouro de Parvaim.

7 H e covered the house with gold. He covered its cross-pieces, its door-ways, its walls, and its doors. And he cut pictures of cherubim on the walls.

Também revestiu de ouro as traves e os umbrais, bem como as paredes e portas da câmara, e lavrou querubins nas paredes.

8 H e made the most holy place. It was as long as the house was wide, ten long steps. And it was as wide as ten long steps. He covered it with fine gold weighing as much as 600 men.

Fez também a câmara santíssima, cujo comprimento era de vinte côvados, correspondendo ã largura da casa, e a sua largura era de vinte côvados; e a revestiu de ouro fino, do peso de seiscentos talentos.

9 T he nails weighed as much as fifty pieces of gold. He covered the rooms on the second floor with gold also.

O peso dos pregos era de cinqüenta siclos de ouro. Também revestiu de ouro os cenáculos.

10 T hen he made two cherubim of wood in the most holy place, and covered them with gold.

Também fez na câmara santíssima dois querubins de madeira, e os cobriu de ouro.

11 T he wings of the cherubim spread as far as ten long steps. The wing of one was as long as three steps, and touched the wall of the house. Its other wing was as long as three steps, and touched the wing of the other cherub.

As asas dos querubins tinham vinte côvados de comprimento: uma asa de um deles, tendo cinco côvados, tocava na parede da casa, e a outra asa, tendo também cinco côvados, tocava na asa do outro querubim;

12 T he wing of the other cherub was as long as three steps, and touched the wall of the house. Its other wing was as long as three steps, and was joined to the wing of the first cherub.

também a asa deste querubim, tendo cinco côvados, tocava na parede da casa, e a outra asa, tendo igualmente cinco côvados, estava unida ã asa do primeiro querubim.

13 T he wings of these cherubim spread as far as ten long steps. And they stood on their feet with their faces toward the holy place.

Assim as asas destes querubins se estendiam por vinte côvados; eles estavam postos em pé, com os rostos virados para â camara.

14 H e made the curtain of blue, purple and red cloth and fine linen. And he worked cherubim on it.

Também fez o véu de azul, púrpura, carmesim e linho fino; e fez bordar nele querubins.

15 H e made two pillars in front of the house that were ten times taller than a man. The top piece of each one was as tall as a man can raise his hand.

Diante da casa fez duas colunas de trinta e cinco côvados de altura; e o capitel que estava sobre cada uma era de cinco côvados.

16 F or the inside holy place he made chains, and put them on the tops of the pillars. Then he made 100 pomegranates and put them on the chains.

Também fez cadeias no oráculo, e as pôs sobre o alto das colunas; fez também cem romãs, as quais pôs nas cadeias.

17 H e put up the pillars in front of the house of God. One was on the right and the other was on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin, and the one on the left Boaz.

E levantou as colunas diante do templo, uma ã direita, e outra ã esquerda; e chamou o nome da que estava ã direita Jaquim, e o nome da que estava ã esquerda Boaz.
