1 S alomão levou treze anos para terminar a construção do seu palácio.

Now Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2 E le 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.

He built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was 100 cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

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

It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the 45 pillars, 15 in each row.

4 H avia janelas dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra.

There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

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

All the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

6 F ez 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.

Then he made the hall of pillars; its length was 50 cubits and its width 30 cubits, and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them.

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

He made the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

8 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.

His house where he was to live, the other court inward from the hall, was of the same workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom Solomon had married.

9 T odas 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.

All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

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

The foundation was of costly stones, even large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

11 N a parte de cima havia pedras de qualidade superior, cortadas sob medida, e vigas de cedro.

And above were costly stones, stone cut according to measure, and cedar.

12 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

So the great court all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams even as the inner court of the house of the Lord, and the porch of the house. Hiram’s Work in the Temple

13 O rei Salomão enviara mensageiros a Tiro e trouxera Hurão,

Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.

14 f ilho 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.

He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

15 E le 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.

He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.

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

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

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

There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

18 F ez 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.

So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

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

The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.

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

There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals.

21 E le 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.

Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.

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

On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.

23 F ez 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.

Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference.

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

Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest.

25 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.

It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.

26 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.

It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.

27 T ambém 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.

Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits.

28 O s carrinhos eram feitos assim: tinham placas laterais presas a armações.

This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames,

29 N as 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.

and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

30 E m 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.

Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.

31 N o 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.

Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

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

The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

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

The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

34 H avia quatro cabos que se projetavam do carrinho, um em cada canto.

Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.

35 N o 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.

On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.

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

He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

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

He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form.

38 D epois 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.

He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin.

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

Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.

40 T ambém 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:

Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:

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

the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

42 a s quatrocentas romãs para os dois conjuntos de correntes, sendo duas fileiras de romãs para cada conjunto;

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars;

43 o s dez carrinhos com as suas dez pias;

and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands;

44 o tanque e os doze touros debaixo dele;

and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea;

45 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.

and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze.

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

In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

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

Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

48 A lém 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;

Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the Lord: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;

49 o s 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;

and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold;

50 a s 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.

and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold.

51 T erminada 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.

Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
