SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 on mount Moriah, as it had been shown to David his father, at the place which David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Foi no segundo dia do segundo mês, no quarto ano de seu reinado, que iniciou a obra.	2 Now 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 And these are the foundations, which Solomon set forth so that he might build the house of God: the length in cubits by the first measure sixty, the width in cubits twenty.
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 Truly, at the front, the portico, which was extended in length according to the measure of the width of the house, was of twenty cubits. Then the height was of one hundred twenty cubits. And he overlaid it on the interior with the purest 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 Also, he covered the greater house with wooden panels of spruce, and he affixed layers of refined gold through it all. And he engraved in them palm trees, and the likeness of little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Ornou esta sala com pedras preciosas; o ouro era de Parvaim.	6 Also, he paved the floor of the temple with the 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 Now the gold, with which he covered in layers the house and its beams and posts and walls and doors, was highly refined. And he engraved cherubim 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 Also, he made the house of the Holy of Holies. Its length, in accord with the width of the temple, was of twenty cubits. And its width, similarly, was of twenty cubits. And he covered it with layers of gold, of about six hundred talents.
9 Mesmo os pregos eram de ouro e pesavam cinqüenta siclos. Revestiu igualmente de ouro os aposentos.	9 Then he also made nails of gold, such that each nail weighed fifty shekels. Also, he covered the upper rooms in gold.
10 Para o interior do Santo dos Santos, mandou esculpir dois querubins e os revestiu de ouro.	10 Now he also made, in the house of the Holy of Holies, two cherubim as a work of statues. And he covered 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 cherubim extended for twenty cubits, such that one wing had five cubits and it touched the wall of the house, and the other, having five cubits, touched 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 Similarly, the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, and it touched the wall, and his other wing of five cubits also 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 And so the wings of both cherubim were stretched out and extended for twenty cubits. Now they were standing upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the exterior house.
14 O rei mandou fazer uma cortina em púrpura violeta, carmesim e linho fino, e nela mandou bordar querubins.	14 Also, he made a veil from hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. And he wove within it cherubim.
15 Diante do edifício, levantou duas colunas de trinta e cinco côvados de altura, tendo no alto um capitel de cinco côvados.	15 And also, before the doors of the temple, there were two pillars, having a height of thirty-five cubits. But their heads were of five cubits.
16 Como para o santuário, fez pequenas cadeias, colocou-as no cimo das colunas, e suspendeu nelas cem romãs.	16 Then too, there were something like little chains on the oracle, and he placed these upon the heads of the pillars. And there were one hundred pomegranates, which he placed 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 Also, he placed these pillars in the vestibule of the temple, one to the right, and the other to the left. The one that was on the right, he called Jachin; and the one that was on the left, Boaz.
