I Livro dos Reis 7

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Salomão levou treze anos a terminar a construção do seu palácio.	1 Now Solomon built his own house for thirteen years, and he brought it to perfection.
2 Edificou primeiro a Casa da Floresta do Líbano, que tinha cem côvados de comprimento, cinqüenta de largo e trinta de alto, repousando sobre quatro fileiras de colunas de cedro, com traves de cedro sobre as colunas.	2 And he built the house from the forest of Lebanon: one hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height, with four walkways between columns of cedar. For he had hewn the cedar trees into columns.
3 Forrou de cedro o teto dos quartos, que se apoiavam nas colunas, em número de quarenta e cinco, ou seja, quinze colunas por fileira.	3 And he clothed the entire vaulted room with panels of cedar. And it was supported by forty-five columns. Now one row held fifteen columns,
4 Havia três fileiras de quartos, cujas janelas se correspondiam três vezes.	4 each positioned opposite another,
5 Todas as portas e suas vigas eram retangulares, e as janelas se correspondiam três vezes.	5 and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.
6 Fez um pórtico de colunas, com cinqüenta côvados de comprido e trinta de largo, precedido de um segundo pórtico de colunas com degraus.	6 And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.
7 Salomão mandou fazer a sala do trono, onde estava o tribunal, o pórtico do juízo, e revestiu-o de cedro desde o pavimento até ao teto.	7 He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.
8 Sua residência, construída no segundo pátio, atrás do pórtico, era de trabalho semelhante. Enfim, mandou construir para a filha do faraó, que ele tinha desposado, uma casa do mesmo gênero que este pórtico.	8 And in the midst of the portico, there was a small house, where he would sit in judgment, similar in workmanship. He also made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh (whom Solomon had taken as wife) of the same work and type as this portico.
9 Todas essas construções eram feitas com pedras escolhidas, talhadas sob medida, e serradas tanto por dentro como por fora, desde os fundamentos até o alto das cornijas, inclusive o muro do grande pátio.	9 All was of precious stones, which had been sawed by a particular standard and measure, as much within as without, from the foundation even to the summit of the walls, and outside even to the great atrium.
10 Os fundamentos eram também feitos de pedras escolhidas de grande dimensão, pedras de dez e de oito côvados.	10 Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.
11 Por cima havia ainda pedras escolhidas, talhadas sob medida, e traves de cedro.	11 And above these, there were precious stones, of equal measure, which had been cut in a manner similar to boards of cedar.
12 O muro, que cercava o grande pátio, tinha três ordens de pedras talhadas e uma fileira de vigas de cedro, assim como no pátio interior do templo do Senhor e no pórtico do palácio.	12 And the great atrium was round, with three rows of cut stones and one row of cut cedar, even as it also was in the interior atrium of the house of the Lord, and in the portico of the house.
13 O rei Salomão mandara vir de Tiro um homem que trabalhava em bronze, Hirão,	13 And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram of Tyre,
14 filho de uma viúva da tribo de Neftali, cujo pai era de Tiro. Hirão era talentoso, cheio de inteligência e habilidade para fazer toda espécie de trabalhos em bronze. Apresentou-se ao rei Salomão e executou todos os seus trabalhos.	14 the son of a widowed woman, from the tribe of Naphtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artisan in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in order to form every work of brass. And when he had gone to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.
15 Fez duas colunas de bronze: a primeira tinha dezoito côvados de altura; a sua periferia media-se com um fio de doze côvados. Tinham quatro dedos de espessura e eram ocas. A segunda coluna era semelhante a esta.	15 And he cast two columns of brass. Each column was eighteen cubits in height, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed both columns.
16 Fundiu dois capitéis para pô-los no alto das colunas; ambos tinham cinco côvados de altura,	16 Also, he made two heads of molten brass, which would be set upon the tops of the columns: one head was five cubits in height, and the other head was five cubits in height.
17 e eram ornados de redes de malhas e grinaldas em forma de cadeias; havia sete grinaldas para cada capitel.	17 And there was something like a network of chains, woven together in a wonderful manner. Both heads of the columns were cast, and seven rows of little nets traversed one head, and seven little nets were on the other head.
18 Dispôs em círculo ao redor de cada uma das malhas duas fileiras de romãs, para ornar cada um dos capitéis que cobriam as colunas.	18 And he finished the columns with two rows all around each network, so that these covered the heads, which were at the top, with pomegranates. And he did in like manner to the second head.
19 Os capitéis, que sobremontavam as colunas no pórtico, tinham a forma de lírios, com quatro côvados de altura.	19 Now the heads that were at the top of the columns, in the portico of four cubits, had been fabricated with a work of lilies.
20 Os capitéis colocados sobre as duas colunas elevavam-se acima da parte mais grossa da coluna, além da rede; em volta dos dois capitéis, havia duzentas romãs dispostas em círculo.	20 And again, there were other heads at the tops of the columns above, in accord with the measure of the column opposite the netting. And there were two hundred of the pomegranates, in rows around the second head.
21 Hirão levantou as colunas no pórtico do templo; a coluna direita, que chamou Jaquin, e a esquerda, que chamou Boaz.	21 And he stationed the two columns in the portico of the temple. And when he had stationed the column on the right, he called its name Jachin. Similarly, he erected the second column, and he called its name Boaz.
22 Por cima das colunas pôs um trabalho em forma de lírio. E assim foi acabada a obra das colunas.	22 And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.
23 Hirão fez também o mar de bronze, que tinha dez côvados de uma borda à outra, perfeitamente redondo, e com altura de cinco côvados; sua circunferência media-se com um fio de trinta côvados.	23 He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.
24 Por baixo de sua borda havia coloquíntidas em número de dez por côvado; elas rodeavam o mar, dispostas em duas ordens, formando com o mar uma só peça.	24 And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.
25 Este apoiava-se sobre doze bois, dos quais três olhavam para o norte, três para o ocidente, três para o sul e três para o oriente. O mar repousava sobre eles, e suas ancas estavam para o lado de dentro.	25 And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.
26 A espessura do mar era de um palmo; sua borda assemelhava-se à de um copo em forma de lírio; sua capacidade era de dois mil batos.	26 And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.
27 Fez também duas bases de bronze, tendo cada uma quatro côvados de comprimento, quatro de largura e três de altura.	27 And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
28 Eis como eram feitas essas bases: eram formadas de painéis e enquadradas de molduras.	28 And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
29 Nos painéis enquadrados de molduras, havia leões, bois e querubins, assim como nas travessas igualmente. Por cima e por baixo dos leões e dos bois pendiam grinaldas em forma de festões.	29 And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.
30 Cada base tinha quatro rodas de bronze, com seus eixos de bronze, e nos quatro cantos havia suportes fundidos que sustinham a bacia, os quais estavam por baixo das grinaldas.	30 And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.
31 A abertura para a bacia era no interior dos suportes, e os ultrapassava de um côvado de altura; era cilíndrica e seu diâmetro era de um côvado e meio; e era também ornada de esculturas. Os painéis eram quadrados e não redondos.	31 Also, the mouth of the interior of the basin was at the top of the head. And what was visible outside was of one cubit all around, and altogether it had one cubit and a half. Now at the corners of the columns were diverse engravings. And the spaces between the columns were square, not round.
32 Debaixo destes estavam as quatro rodas, cujos eixos eram fixados à base. Cada roda tinha um côvado e meio de altura,	32 And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined to one another under the base. The height of one wheel held one cubit and a half.
33 e era feita como as de um carro. Eixos, cambas, raios e cubos, tudo era fundido.	33 Now these were the kind of wheels such as are often made for a chariot. And their axels, and spokes, and tires, and centers were all cast.
34 Nos quatro ângulos de cada base encontravam-se quatro suportes que faziam parte da mesma base.	34 And the four little arms, which were at each corner of a base, were cast and joined together as part of the base itself.
35 A parte superior da base era de forma circular, tendo meio côvado de altura; seus esteios formavam com os painéis uma só peça.	35 And at the summit of the base, there was a round stand of one half cubit, fabricated so that the basin could be placed upon it, having its engravings, and various sculptures of its own.
36 Nas placas dos seus esteios e dos painéis assim como no espaço livre entre estas, esculpiu querubins, leões, palmas e grinaldas circulares.	36 He also engraved those plates, which were of brass. And at the corners were cherubim, and lions, and palm trees, standing out, as if in the likeness of a man, so that they seemed not to be engraved, but placed adjacent on all sides.
37 Desse modo fez as dez bases, todas do mesmo molde, da mesma dimensão e modelo.	37 In this manner, he made ten bases with the same casting and measure, and very similar engravings.
38 Fez também dez bacias de bronze, contendo cada uma quarenta batos. Cada uma tinha quatro côvados e repousava sobre um dos dez pedestais.	38 He also made ten hand basins of brass. One hand basin contained four baths, and was of four cubits. And each basin he set upon a base, which is ten bases.
39 Pôs cinco pedestais do lado direito do templo e cinco do lado esquerdo. O mar foi colocado do lado direito do edifício, para o sudoeste.	39 And he stationed the ten bases, five to the right side of the temple, and five to the left. And the sea he placed to the right side of the temple, opposite the east, toward the south.
40 Hirão fez também caldeirões, pás e bacias. Hirão concluiu, pois, toda a obra que o rei Salomão lhe mandara fazer para o templo do Senhor:	40 Then Hiram made cooking pots, and trays, and small hooks. And he completed all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord:
41 duas colunas, dois capitéis esféricos para o alto das colunas, duas redes para cobrir os capitéis esféricos que estão sobre as colunas;	41 the two columns, and the two cords of the heads over the tops of the columns, and the two networks which covered the two cords that were above the tops of the columns;
42 quatrocentas romãs para as redes, duas fileiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrir os dois capitéis esféricos que estão no alto das colunas;	42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two turnings of pomegranates for each network, in order to cover the cords of the heads, which were above the tops of the columns;
43 dez pedestais e dez bacias sobre os pedestais;	43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
44 o mar, único, com os doze bois por baixo do mar;	44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 os caldeirões, pás e bacias. Todos esses objetos que Hirão fez por ordem do rei Salomão para o templo do Senhor, eram de bronze polido.	45 and the cooking pots, and the trays, and the small hooks. All of the items that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of golden brass.
46 O rei mandou-os fundir na planície do Jordão, numa terra argilosa, entre Socot e Sartã.	46 In the open regions near the Jordan, the king cast these, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Era tão grande o número desses objetos, que Salomão não pesou o bronze.	47 And Solomon positioned all the items. But because of its exceedingly great amount, the brass was not weighed.
48 Salomão mandou ainda fabricar todos os utensílios que estariam no templo do Senhor: o altar de ouro, a mesa de ouro sobre a qual se colocavam os pães de proposição;	48 And Solomon made all the furniture for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the bread of the presence would be placed;
49 os candelabros de ouro fino, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda, diante do santuário, com as flores, as lâmpadas e as espevitadeiras de ouro,	49 and the gold lampstands, five to the right, and five to the left, opposite the oracle, of pure gold; and likenesses of lily blossoms, with lamps above them, of gold; and gold tongs;
50 os copos, as facas, as bacias, as colheres e os cinzeiros de ouro fino, e os gonzos de ouro para os batentes da porta do santuário, o Santo dos Santos, e da porta do templo, o Santo.	50 and waters pots, and little forks, and bowls, and little mortars, and censers, of the purest gold; and the hinges of the doors, for the interior house of the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the temple, which were of gold.
51 Assim foram concluídos todos os trabalhos empreendidos pelo rei Salomão para o templo do Senhor. E Salomão mandou então que se trouxesse tudo o que Davi, seu pai, tinha consagrado: a prata, o ouro e os utensílios, e colocou-os nas reservas do templo do Senhor.	51 And Solomon perfected all the work that he was doing in the house of the Lord. And he brought in the things that his father David had sanctified: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels. And he stored these in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
