2 Tawarikh 3
1 Raja Daud sudah menentukan bahwa Rumah TUHAN harus dibangun di Yerusalem di Gunung Moria di tempat pengirikan gandum milik Arauna orang Yebus. Pembangunan Rumah TUHAN itu dimulai oleh Raja Salomo
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where He had appeared unto David his father, on the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 pada bulan kedua tahun keempat pemerintahannya.
And he began to build on the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Panjang Rumah itu 27 meter dan lebarnya 9 meter.
Now in this manner was the foundation laid of the house of God [at its] building [by] Solomon: The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Panjang ruang depan sama dengan lebar Rumah itu, yaitu 9 meter. Tingginya 54 meter. Bagian dalam ruangan itu dilapisi dengan emas murni.
And the porch that was in the front of the length was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was a hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Ruangan utama dipapani dengan kayu cemara yang terbaik dan dilapisi dengan emas tua. Pada lapisan emas itu ada ukiran gambar pohon palem dan gambar rantai.
And the great house he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with pure gold, and he wrought thereon palm-trees and chains.
6 Raja menghias Rumah itu dengan batu permata yang bagus-bagus dan dengan emas yang didatangkan dari negeri Parwaim.
And he overlaid the house with costly stones for ornament: and the gold was gold of Parvayim.
7 Ia memakai emas itu juga untuk melapisi tembok-tembok Rumah TUHAN itu, balok-baloknya, ambang-ambang pintu dan pintu-pintunya. Tembok-temboknya diukir dengan gambar kerub.
And he covered the house, the beams, the sills, and its walls, and its doors, with gold: and he engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Ruang dalam yang dinamakan Ruang Mahasuci panjangnya 9 meter dan lebarnya 9 meter, sama dengan lebar Rumah TUHAN itu. Dua puluh ton emas dipakai untuk melapisi tembok-tembok Ruang Mahasuci itu
And he made the most holy house, its length being in front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits: and he covered it with fine gold, [amounting] to six hundred talents.
9 dan 570 gram emas untuk membuat paku. Tembok ruangan-ruangan tingkat atas pun dilapisi dengan emas.
And the weight of the nails [amounted] to fifty shekels of gold. And the upper chambers he covered with gold.
10 Raja juga menyuruh para pekerjanya itu membuat dua patung kerub dari logam. Patung-patung itu dilapisinya dengan emas dan dipasang berdampingan di Ruang Mahasuci menghadap pintu. Setiap kerub itu mempunyai dua sayap, masing-masing panjangnya 2,2 meter. Sayap-sayap itu mengembang sedemikian rupa sehingga ujung yang satu saling bersentuhan di tengah ruangan dan ujung yang lain mencapai tembok di kiri kanan. Jadi, sayap-sayap itu terbentang sepanjang 9 meter yaitu selebar ruangan itu.
And he made in the most holy house two cherubim of sculpture work, and they overlaid them with gold.
And regarding the wings of the cherubim their length was twenty cubits; the wing of the one amounting to five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing of five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing of five cubits was joined closely to the wing of the other cherub.
The wings of these cherubim [as they were] spread out were twenty cubits: and they were standing on their feet, and their faces were inward.
14 Untuk Ruang Mahasuci itu dibuat pula gorden dari kain lenan dan kain lain yang berwarna biru, ungu dan merah. Gorden itu dihias dengan gambar-gambar kerub.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought thereon cherubim.
15 Raja membuat dua tiang yang masing-masing tingginya 15,5 meter, lalu menempatkannya di depan Rumah TUHAN. Setiap tiang itu mempunyai kepala tiang setinggi 2,2 meter.
And he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits in length, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 Bagian atas tiang-tiang itu diperindah dengan hiasan dari perunggu, berupa anyaman rantai dengan 100 buah delima.
And he made chains in the debir; and [others which] he placed on the top of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and placed them on the chains.
17 Tiang-tiang itu didirikan di samping kiri dan kanan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN; yang di sebelah selatan dinamakan Yakhin, dan yang di sebelah utara dinamakan Boas.
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and he called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Bo'az.
