Ang Templo sa Jerusalem(A)

3 Ang(B) Templo ni Yahweh sa Jerusalem ay sinimulang itayo ni Solomon sa Bundok ng Moria, sa giikan ng Jebuseong si Ornan. Inihanda ni David ang pook na iyon matapos magpakita sa kanya si Yahweh. 2 Sinimulan niya ang pagtatayo noong ikalawang buwan ng ikaapat na taon ng kanyang paghahari.

3 Ito ang sukat ng Templo sa Jerusalem: dalawampu't pitong metro ang haba at siyam na metro ang luwang ayon sa matandang sukatan. 4 Ang haba ng portiko sa dakong harap ng Templo ay siyam na metro—kapantay ng luwang ng Templo at limampu't apat na metro naman ang taas. Binalutan niya ng lantay na ginto ang loob nito.

5 Ang bulwagan ay pinatakpan ni Solomon ng mga tablang sipres. Pagkatapos, pinabalutan niya ito ng purong ginto at pinalagyan ng disenyo ng mga punong palma at kadena. 6 Pinalamutian pa niya ito ng magagandang batong hiyas at gintong galing sa Parvaim. 7 Binalutan niya ng ginto ang mga biga at hamba ng mga pinto at ang mga dingding ng Templo. Pinaukitan pa niya ang mga dingding ng mga larawan ng kerubin.

8 Ang(C) haba naman ng Dakong Kabanal-banalan ay siyam na metro—kapantay ng luwang ng Templo—at siyam na metro ang luwang. Binalot din niya ito ng lantay na ginto na umabot sa 21,000 kilo, 9 at dalawampung onsa naman ang ginto na ginamit sa paggawa ng mga pako. Binalot din ng ginto ang mga dingding ng mga silid sa itaas.

10 Nagpagawa(D) siya ng dalawang rebultong kerubin na yari sa kahoy sa loob ng Dakong Kabanal-banalan. Binalot din ito ng ginto. 11 Siyam na metro ang kabuuang haba ng mga pakpak ng dalawang kerubin, dalawa't kalahating metro ang bawat isang pakpak. Ang dulo ng isang pakpak ng unang kerubin ay abot sa dingding at ang dulo naman ng kabilang pakpak ay abot sa dulo ng pakpak ng ikalawang kerubin. 12 Gayundin naman, ang dulo ng isang pakpak ng pangalawang kerubin na dalawa't kalahating metro ang haba ay abot sa kabilang dingding at ang dulo ng kabilang pakpak ay abot naman sa dulo ng pakpak ng unang kerubin. 13 Kaya't ang nasasakop ng kanilang mga pakpak ay siyam na metro. Nakatayo ang mga rebultong kerubin at parehong nakaharap sa bulwagan ng Templo.

14 Ang(E) ginamit na tabing ay mga telang hinabi sa lanang kulay asul, kulay ube, at kulay pula, at mamahaling lino. Pinaburdahan pa ito ng mga larawan ng kerubin.

Ang Dalawang Haliging Tanso(F)

15 Sa harap ng Templo, nagtayo siya ng dalawang haligi na labing-anim na metro ang taas at ang taas naman ng pinagkakabitan nito sa itaas ay dalawa't kalahating metro. 16 Nagpagawa siya ng mga kadena at isinabit iyon na parang kuwintas sa ibabaw ng mga haligi, at ikinabit sa mga kadena ang sandaang bunga ng granadang yari sa tanso. 17 Itinayo niya sa magkabilang tagiliran ng pasukan ng Templo. Ang nasa kanan ay tinawag na Jaquin at ang nasa kaliwa ay tinawag na Boaz.

New International Version

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)

3 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. 2 He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.(E)

3 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). 4 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. 5 He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree(G) and chain designs. 6 He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim(H) on the walls.

8 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. 9 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]

Solomon Builds the Temple

3 (A)Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem (B)on Mount Moriah, where the Lord[a] had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, (C)on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign. 3 These are Solomon's (D)measurements[b] for building the house of God: (E)the length, in cubits[c] of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house,[d] and its height was 120 cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold. 5 (F)The nave he lined with cypress and covered it with fine gold (G)and made palms and chains on it. 6 He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parvaim. 7 So he lined the house with gold—its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors—(H)and he carved cherubim on the walls.

8 (I)And he made the Most Holy Place. Its length, corresponding to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth was twenty cubits. He overlaid it with 600 talents[e] of fine gold. 9 The weight of gold for the nails was fifty shekels.[f] And he overlaid (J)the upper chambers with gold.

10 (K)In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of wood[g] and overlaid[h] them with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim together extended twenty cubits: one wing of the one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub; 12 and of this cherub, one wing, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and the other wing, also of five cubits, was joined to the wing of the first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. The cherubim[i] stood on their feet, (L)facing the nave. 14 (M)And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.

15 (N)In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. 16 He made chains like a necklace[j] and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 (O)He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Boaz.
