I Livro dos Reis 6

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 No ano quatrocentos e oitenta depois da saída dos filhos de Israel do Egito, Salomão, no quarto ano do seu reinado, no mês de Ziv, que é o segundo mês, empreendeu a construção do templo do Senhor.	1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.
2 O templo que o rei Salomão edificou ao Senhor tinha sessenta côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e trinta de altura.	2 And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 O pórtico, à entrada do templo, tinha vinte côvados de comprimento, o que igualava a largura do templo, e dez côvados de largura na frente do edifício.	3 And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.
4 O rei fez no templo janelas com grades de madeira.	4 And he made in the temple oblique windows.
5 Construiu, encostados às paredes do edifício, andares que rodeavam o templo e o santuário. Cercou assim o edifício de quartos laterais.	5 And upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.
6 O andar inferior tinha cinco côvados de largura, o do meio seis e o terceiro sete, porque se tinham posto encostas nos muros exteriores do templo para evitar que as vigas entrassem nas paredes do edifício.	6 The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.
7 Na construção do templo só se empregaram pedras lavradas na pedreira, de sorte que não se ouvia durante os trabalhos da construção barulho algum de martelo, de cinzel ou de outro qualquer instrumento de ferro.	7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.
8 A entrada do andar inferior encontrava-se do lado direito do edifício. Subia-se por uma escada em espiral ao andar do meio, e deste ao terceiro.	8 The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house : and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.
9 Terminado o edifício, Salomão recobriu-o de tábuas e de forros de cedro.	9 So he built the house, and finished it: end he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
10 Os andares que construiu encostados em todo o edifício eram de cinco côvados de altura cada um e foram ligados ao templo por traves de cedro.	10 And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
11 A palavra do Senhor foi então dirigida a Salomão nestes termos:	11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 Esta casa que tu edificas... se obedeceres às minhas leis, praticares os meus mandamentos e observares todos os meus preceitos, seguindo-os cuidadosamente, eu cumprirei em ti as promessas que fiz ao teu pai Davi:	12 This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.
13 permanecerei no meio dos israelitas e não abandonarei Israel, meu povo.	13 And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Salomão terminou a construção do templo.	14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Forrou o interior das paredes do edifício com placas de cedro, desde o pavimento até o teto; revestiu assim de madeira todo o interior e cobriu o pavimento com tábuas de cipreste.	15 And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 Revestiu de tábuas de cedro, a partir do fundo do templo, desde o pavimento até o teto, um espaço de vinte côvados, que destinou ao santuário, ou santo dos santos.	16 And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.
17 Os quarenta côvados restantes constituíam a parte anterior do templo.	17 And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.
18 Dentro do edifício o cedro era esculpido de coloquíntidas e flores abertas; tudo era de cedro; não se via a pedra.	18 And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.
19 Salomão dispôs o santuário no interior do templo, bem ao fundo, para ali colocar a arca da aliança do Senhor.	19 And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 O santuário tinha por dentro vinte côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e vinte de altura. Salomão revestiu-o de ouro fino, e cobriu o altar de cedro.	20 Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.
21 Revestiu de ouro fino o interior do edifício e fechou com cadeias de ouro a frente do santuário, que era também revestido de ouro.	21 And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.
22 A casa ficou assim inteiramente coberta de ouro, como também toda a superfície do altar que estava diante do santuário.	22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.
23 Fez no santuário dois querubins de pau de oliveira, que tinham dez côvados de altura.	23 And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Cada uma das asas dos querubins tinha cinco côvados, o que fazia dez côvados da extremidade de uma asa à extremidade da outra.	24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
25 O segundo querubim tinha também dez côvados; os dois tinham a mesma forma e as mesmas dimensões.	25 dummy verses inserted by amos
26 Um e outro tinham dez côvados de altura.	26 The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
27 Salomão pô-los no fundo do templo, no santuário. Tinham as asas estendidas, de sorte que uma asa do primeiro tocava uma das paredes e uma asa do segundo tocava a outra parede, enquanto as outras duas asas se encontravam no meio do santuário.
28 Revestiu também de ouro os querubins.	28 That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
29 Mandou esculpir em relevo em todas as paredes da casa, ao redor, no santuário como no templo, querubins, palmas e flores abertas.	29 And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.
30 Cobriu de ouro o pavimento do edifício, tanto o do santuário como o do templo.	30 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
31 Pôs à porta do santuário vigas de pau de oliveira; o seu enquadramento com as ombreiras ocupava a quinta parte da parede.	31 And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.
32 Nos dois batentes de pau de oliveira mandou esculpir querubins, palmas e flores desabrochadas, e cobriu-as de ouro; cobriu de ouro tanto os querubins como as palmas.	32 And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
33 Para a porta do templo fez vigas de pau de oliveira que ocupavam a quarta parte da parede,	33 And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
34 bem como dois batentes de madeira de cipreste, sendo cada batente formado de duas folhas móveis.	34 And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.
35 Mandou esculpir nelas querubins, palmas e flores desabrochadas, e cobriu tudo de ouro, ajustado às esculturas.	35 And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
36 Construiu, ao redor do átrio interior, um muro de três ordens de pedras talhadas e uma fileira de traves de cedro.	36 And two doors of fir tree, one of each side : and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.
37 No mês de Ziv do quarto ano de reinado, foram lançados os fundamentos do templo do Senhor,	37 And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
38 e no ano undécimo, no mês de Bul, que é o oitavo mês, foi o templo acabado em todas as suas partes e em todos os seus pormenores. O templo foi construído em sete anos.	38 And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
	39 In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
