II Livro das Crônicas 3

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Salomão começou a construção do templo do Senhor, em Jerusalém, no monte Mória, para isso designado por Davi, seu pai, no mesmo lugar que Davi preparara, na eira de Ornã, o jebuseu.	1 And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Foi no segundo dia do segundo mês, no quarto ano de seu reinado, que iniciou a obra.	2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Estes são os fundamentos determinados por Salomão para a construção do templo: de comprimento, sessenta côvados, segundo a antiga medida; de largura, vinte côvados.	3 Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits.
4 O pórtico, que se achava no frontispício, e cujo comprimento correspondia à largura do edifício, tinha vinte côvados, e vinte de altura. Era revestido de ouro puro por dentro.	4 And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 A grande sala foi forrada de ciprestes; ele a guarneceu de ouro puro nos lugares em que estavam esculpidas as palmas e as pequenas cadeias.	5 And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Ornou esta sala com pedras preciosas; o ouro era de Parvaim.	6 He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 O rei revestiu de ouro a sala: traves, umbrais, paredes e portas; nas paredes mandou esculpir querubins.	7 And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Fez também a construção da sala do Santo dos Santos, cujo comprimento, igual à largura do edifício, era de vinte côvados. O valor do ouro fino, com que o recobriu, era de seiscentos talentos.	8 He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 Mesmo os pregos eram de ouro e pesavam cinqüenta siclos. Revestiu igualmente de ouro os aposentos.	9 He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 Para o interior do Santo dos Santos, mandou esculpir dois querubins e os revestiu de ouro.	10 He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 O comprimento de suas asas era de vinte côvados; uma asa do primeiro, de cinco côvados de comprimento, tocava a parede da sala, e outra, de cinco côvados, tocava a asa do segundo querubim.	11 The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub.
12 Uma asa do segundo querubim, de cinco côvados de comprimento, tocava a parede da sala, e a outra, de cinco côvados de comprimento, tocava a asa do primeiro.	12 In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Assim, a envergadura das asas destes querubins era de vinte côvados. Sustentavam-se sobre seus pés, com o rosto voltado para a sala.	13 So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 O rei mandou fazer uma cortina em púrpura violeta, carmesim e linho fino, e nela mandou bordar querubins.	14 He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 Diante do edifício, levantou duas colunas de trinta e cinco côvados de altura, tendo no alto um capitel de cinco côvados.	15 He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
16 Como para o santuário, fez pequenas cadeias, colocou-as no cimo das colunas, e suspendeu nelas cem romãs.	16 He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains.
17 Levantou colunas, uma à direita e outra à esquerda da fachada do templo: chamou à da direita Jaquim e à da esquerda Boaz.	17 These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
