Nagpatindog si Solomon sang Templo sa Jerusalem

Karon gin-umpisahan na ni Solomon ang pagpatindog sang templo sang Ginoo sa Jerusalem didto sa Bukid sang Moria, nga sa diin nagpakita ang Ginoo sa iya amay nga si David. Didto niya ini ginpatindog sa linasan ni Arauna nga Jebusnon, ang lugar nga ginpreparar ni David. Gin-umpisahan niya ini patindog sang ikaduha nga adlaw sang ikaduha nga bulan, sang ikaapat nga tuig sang iya paghari.

Ang pundasyon sang templo sang Dios may kalabaon nga 90 ka tapak kag kasangkaron nga 30 ka tapak. Ang kalabaon sang balkon sa atubangan sang templo 30 ka tapak, pareho mismo sa kasangkaron sang templo, kag ang kataason 30 man ka tapak. Ginpahaklapan ni Solomon ang sulod sini sang puro nga bulawan.

Ginpadingdingan niya ang mayor sang templo sang kahoy nga sipres kag ginpahaklapan sang puro nga bulawan, kag ginpadekorasyunan sang mga desinyo nga palma kag mga kadena. Ginpadekorasyunan man niya ang templo sang malahalon nga mga bato kag bulawan nga naghalin pa sa Parvaim. Ginpahaklapan niya sang bulawan ang mga balayan, mga puwertahan kag mga hamba sini, kag mga dingding. Kag gindesinyuhan niya sang kerubin ang mga dingding.

Ang Labing Balaan nga Lugar may kasangkaron nga 30 ka tapak kag may kalabaon nga 30 man ka tapak, nga pareho mismo sa kasangkaron sang templo. Ang sulod sini ginhaklapan sing mga 21 ka tonelada nga bulawan. Ang mga lansang nga gin-gamit ginhaklapan man sang bulawan nga mga tunga sa kilo. Ang mga dingding sang mga kuwarto sa ibabaw ginhaklapan man sang bulawan.

10 Nagpahimo si Solomon sa sulod sang Labing Balaan nga Lugar sang duha ka kerubin kag ginpahaklapan niya ini sang bulawan. 11-13 Ang kada kerubin may duha ka pakpak, kag ang kada pakpak may kalabaon nga pito kag tunga ka tapak. Gani ang bug-os nga kalabaon sang nagahumlad nga mga pakpak sang duha ka kerubin 30 ka tapak. Ang pihak nila nga pakpak nagatanduganay kag ang pihak pa gid nila nga pakpak nagatandog sa dingding. 14 Ang kurtina nga nagatabon sa Labing Balaan nga Lugar hinimo halin sa linen nga ginbordahan sang delana nga asul, granate kag pula, kag may borda nga kerubin.

Ang Duha ka Haligi nga Saway(A)

15 Naghimo man si Solomon sang duha ka haligi sa atubangan sang templo nga ang kataason sang kada isa 52 ka tapak. Ang kada haligi may ulo-ulo nga ang kataason pito kag tunga ka tapak. 16 Ang kada ulo-ulo nadekorasyunan sang mga kulokadena nga nagatinabid nga may nagakabit nga mga puloprutas nga pomegranata. Ini nga mga dekorasyon 100 ka bilog. 17 Ginpatindog niya ang mga haligi sa atubangan sang templo. Ang haligi sa bagatnan dampi gin-ngalanan niya nga Jakin, kag ang haligi sa aminhan gin-ngalanan niya nga Boaz.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)

Then Solomon began to build(B) the temple of the Lord(C) in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah[a](D) the Jebusite, the place provided by David. He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.(E)

The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide[b](F) (using the cubit of the old standard). The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits[c] long across the width of the building and twenty[d] cubits high.

He overlaid the inside with pure gold. He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree(G) and chain designs. He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim. He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim(H) on the walls.

He built the Most Holy Place,(I) its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents[e] of fine gold. The gold nails(J) weighed fifty shekels.[f] He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.

10 For the Most Holy Place he made a pair(K) of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold. 11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits[g] long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub. 12 Similarly one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched the other temple wall, and its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim(L) extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.[h]

14 He made the curtain(M) of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim(N) worked into it.

15 For the front of the temple he made two pillars,(O) which together were thirty-five cubits[i] long, each with a capital(P) five cubits high. 16 He made interwoven chains[j](Q) and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates(R) and attached them to the chains. 17 He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin[k] and the one to the north Boaz.[l]

Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.

And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.

15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

17 And he reared 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.
