Ii Paralipomenon 3
1 Et cœpit Salomon ædificare domum Domini in Ierusalem in monte Moria, qui demonstratus fuerat David patri eius, in loco, quem paraverat David in area Ornan Iebusæi.
Then Solomon began to build Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Cœpit autem ædificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
He began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Et hæc sunt fundamenta, quæ iecit Salomon, ut ædificaret domum Dei, longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.
Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house: the length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.
4 Porticum vero ante frontem, quæ tendebatur in longum iuxta mensuram latitudinis domus, cubitorum viginti: porro altitudo centum viginti cubitorum erat: et deauravit eam intrinsecus auro mundissimo.
The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Domum quoque maiorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis, et laminas auri obrizi affixit per totum: sculpsitque in ea palmas, et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.
He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
6 Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
He decorated the house with precious stones for beauty. The gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cuius laminis texit domum, et trabes eius, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et cælavit cherubim in parietibus.
He also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, its walls, and its doors with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Fecit quoque domum Sancti sanctorum: longitudinem iuxta latitudinem domus cubitorum viginti: et latitudinem similiter viginti cubitorum: et laminis aureis texit eam, quasi talentis sexcentis.
He made the most holy place. Its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: cænacula quoque texit auro.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
In the most holy place he made two cherubim by carving, and they overlaid them with gold.
11 Alæ cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus: et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.
The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 Similiter cherub alterius ala, quinque habebat cubitos, et tangebat parietem: et ala eius altera quinque cubitorum, alam cherub alterius contingebat.
The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 Igitur alæ utriusque cherubim expansæ erant, et extendebantur per cubitos viginti: ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versæ ad exteriorem domum.
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves out twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
14 Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
He made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
15 Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quæ triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
Also he made before the house two pillars thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quæ catenulis interposuit.
He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris: eam, quæ a dextris erat, vocavit Iachin: et quæ ad lævam, Booz.
He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
