2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
Kalpasanna, rinugian ni Solomon nga ipatakder ti balay ni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem iti Bantay Moria, a nagparangan ni Yahweh kenni David nga amana. Insaganana ti disso a pinanggep ni David para iti daytoy, iti pagir-irikan ni Ornan a Jebuseo.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Nangrugi ti panangipatakderna iti maikadua nga aldaw iti maikadua a bulan, iti maikapat a tawen ti panagturayna.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Ita, dagitoy dagiti rukod ti pundasion nga inkabil ni Solomon para iti balay ti Dios. Iti panangusar ti daan nga estilo ti kubit, innem a pulo a kubit ti kaatiddogna ken duapulo a kubit ti kaakabana.
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
Ti kaatiddog ti balkon iti sango ti balay ket duapulo a kubit, maiyannurot iti kaakaba ti pasdek. Duapulo a kubit met ti kangatona, ken kinalupkopan ni Solomon ti uneg daytoy iti puro a balitok.
5 Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
Inaramidna ti bubida ti kadakkelan a siled babaen iti saleng a kinalupkopanna iti kasayaatan a balitok, a kinitikitanna kadagiti sinan kayo ti palma ken kadagiti sinan kawar.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
Inarkosanna ti balay kadagiti napapateg a bato; ti balitok ket balitok a naggapu iti Parvaim.
7 They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
Kinalupkopanna pay iti balitok dagiti aoanan, dagiti hamba, dagiti diding ken dagiti ruangan; ken inkitikitna dagiti imahen dagiti kerubim kadagiti didingna.
8 They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
Impatakderna ti kasasantoan a disso. Maiyannurot ti kaatiddogna iti kaakaba ti balay, duapulo a kubit, ken ti kaakabana ket duapulo a kubit met laeng. Kinalupkopanna daytoy iti kasayaatan a balitok nga aggatad iti innem a gasut a talento.
9 They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
Limapulo a siklo a balitok ti kadagsen dagiti lansa. Kinalupkopanna iti balitok dagiti akin-ngato a siled.
10 Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Nangaramid isuna iti dua a sinan-kerubim a para iti kasasantoan a disso; kinalupkopan dagitoy dagiti kumukorte iti balitok.
11 [Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
Duapulo a kubit ti kaatiddog dagiti amin a payak dagiti kerubim; lima a kubit ti kaatiddog ti payak ti maysa a kerubim, a dumanon iti diding ti siled; kasta met a lima a kubit ti maysa pay a payak, a dumanon ti payak iti maysa pay a kerubim.
Lima a kubit met ti payak ti maysa pay a kerubim, a dumanon iti diding ti siled; lima a kubit met ti maysa pay a payak daytoy, a sumagsagsagid iti payak ti umuna a kerubim.
13 It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
Nakaukrad dagiti payak dagiti kerubim nga agdagup a duapulo a kubit. Nakatakder dagiti kerubim a nakasango dagiti rupada iti kadakkelan a siled.
14 Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
Inaramidna dagiti kurtina nga asul, maris ube ken nalabaga a de lana ken kasayaatan a lino, ken imburdana dagiti sinan-kerubim iti daytoy.
15 They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
Nangaramid pay ni Solomon iti dua nga adigi, tallopulo ket lima a kubit ti kangato dagitoy, para iti sangoanan ti balay; lima a kubit ti kangato ti paratok nga adda kadagiti tuktok dagitoy.
16 The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
Nangaramid isuna kadagiti kawar a para kadagiti adigi ket inkabilna dagitoy kadagiti tuktok dagiti adigi; nangaramid pay isuna iti sangagasut a sinan-granada ket inkapetna dagitoy kadagiti kawar.
17 They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
Impatakderna dagiti adigi iti sangoanan ti templo, maysa iti makannawan nga ima, ken ti sabali iti makannigid; pinanagananna iti Jakin ti adigi iti makannawan, ken Boas ti adigi iti makannigid.
