2 Chronicles 3
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.
Empezó Salomón a edificar la Casa de Yahvé en Jerusalén, en el monte Moriah indicado anteriormente a su padre David, en el sitio donde David había hecho los preparativos, en la era de Ornan jebuseo.
2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
Dio comienzo a las obras el día dos del mes segundo del año cuarto de su reinado.
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.
He aquí (las dimensiones) de los fundamentos que puso Salomón, para edificar la Casa de Dios: la longitud en codos de la medida antigua: sesenta codos, y la anchura: veinte codos.
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.
El pórtico que servía de fachada y cuya longitud correspondía al ancho de la Casa, tenía una longitud de veinte codos y una altura de ciento veinte. Lo recubrió por dentro de oro puro.
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.
Revistió la Casa mayor de madera de ciprés y la recubrió de oro fino, haciendo esculpir en ella palmas y cadenillas.
6 He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
Revistió también la Casa de piedras preciosas para adornarla; el oro era oro de Parvaim.
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.
Así cubrió de oro tanto la Casa, las vigas, los umbrales, sus paredes y sus puertas, y esculpió querubines sobre las paredes.
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.
Construyó también la Casa del Santísimo, cuya longitud, correspondiente al ancho de la Casa, era de veinte codos, y su anchura igualmente de veinte codos. Lo revistió de oro puro, que pesaba seiscientos talentos.
9 He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
Los clavos de oro pesaban cincuenta siclos. Cubrió de oro también los pisos altos.
10 He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
En el interior de la Casa del Santísimo hizo dos querubines, de obra esculpida, que revistió de oro.
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.
Las alas de los querubines tenían veinte codos de largo. La una del primero era de cinco codos y tocaba la pared de la Casa; la otra ala tenía también cinco codos, y tocaba el ala del otro querubín.
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.
Del mismo modo un ala del otro querubín era de cinco codos y tocaba la pared de la Casa; la otra ala tenía también cinco codos, y se juntaba al ala del primer querubín.
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.
Las alas de estos querubines medían desplegadas veinte codos. Estaban ellos de pie, y con sus caras vueltas hacia la Casa.
14 He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
Asimismo hizo el velo, de jacinto, púrpura escarlata, carmesí y lino fino, en el cual hizo bordar querubines.
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.
Delante de la Casa hizo dos columnas de treinta y cinco codos de alto. El capitel que las coronaba tenía cinco codos.
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.
Forjó, además, cadenillas (como) en el Santísimo, y las colocó sobre los remates de las columnas; e hizo cien granadas, que puso en las cadenillas.
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.
Erigió las columnas delante del Templo, una a la derecha, y la otra a la izquierda, llamando la de la derecha Jaquín, y la de la izquierda Boas.
