2 Cronica 3
Ang Biblia, 2001
3 Pinasimulang(A) itayo ni Solomon ang bahay ng Panginoon sa Jerusalem sa ibabaw ng Bundok Moria, na doon ay nagpakita ang Panginoon kay David na kanyang ama, sa lugar na itinakda ni David, sa giikan ni Ornan na Jebuseo.
2 Siya'y nagpasimulang magtayo nang ikalawang buwan ng ikaapat na taon ng kanyang paghahari.
3 Ang mga ito ang sukat na ginamit ni Solomon para sa pagtatayo ng bahay ng Diyos. Ang haba sa mga siko ayon sa matandang panukat ay animnapung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawampung siko.
4 Ang portiko na nasa harapan ng bahay ay dalawampung siko, kasinluwang ng bahay; at ang taas ay isandaan at dalawampung siko. Ito ay kanyang binalutan ng lantay na ginto sa loob.
5 Mismong ang bahay ay kanyang nilagyan ng kisame ng kahoy na sipres, at binalot ito ng lantay na ginto, at ginawan ito ng mga palma at mga tanikala.
6 Kanyang pinalamutian ang bahay ng mga mamahaling bato. Ang ginto ay mula sa Parvaim.
7 Kanyang binalutan ng ginto ang bahay, ang mga biga, mga pasukan, mga dingding, at ang mga pinto; at inukitan niya ng mga kerubin ang mga dingding.
8 Kanyang(B) ginawa ang dakong kabanal-banalan; ang haba nito ay katumbas ng luwang ng bahay, dalawampung siko, at ang luwang nito ay dalawampung siko. Kanyang binalutan ito ng dalisay na ginto na may timbang na animnaraang talento.
9 Ang bigat ng mga pako ay limampung siklong ginto. At kanyang binalutan ng ginto ang mga silid sa itaas.
10 Sa(C) dakong kabanal-banalan ay gumawa siya ng dalawang kerubin na yari sa kahoy at binalot ang mga ito ng ginto.
11 Ang mga pakpak ng mga kerubin na sama-samang nakabuka ay dalawampung siko ang haba; ang pakpak ng isa ay limang siko na abot sa dingding ng bahay; at ang kabilang pakpak na limang siko ay abot sa pakpak ng unang kerubin.
12 Ang pakpak ng isang kerubin ay limang siko na abot sa dingding ng bahay; at ang kabilang pakpak ay limang siko rin na nakalapat sa pakpak ng unang kerubin.
13 Ang mga pakpak ng mga kerubing ito ay umaabot ng dalawampung siko; ang mga kerubin ay nakatayo sa kanilang mga paa, nakaharap sa bahay.
14 Ginawa(D) niya ang tabing na asul, ube, matingkad na pulang tela at pinong lino, at ginawan ang mga ito ng mga kerubin.
15 Sa harapan ng bahay ay gumawa siya ng dalawang haligi na tatlumpu't limang siko ang taas, at ang kapitel na nasa ibabaw ng bawat isa sa mga iyon ay limang siko.
16 Siya'y gumawa ng mga tanikalang gaya ng kuwintas at inilagay sa ibabaw ng mga haligi; at siya'y gumawa ng isandaang granada, at inilagay sa mga tanikala.
17 Kanyang itinayo ang mga haligi sa harapan ng templo, ang isa'y sa timog, at ang isa'y sa hilaga; ang nasa timog ay tinawag na Jakin,[a] at ang nasa hilaga ay Boaz.[b]

3 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.
2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 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.
4 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.
5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.

Building the Temple
3 Then Solomon began(A) to build the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah(B) where the Lord[a] had appeared to his father David, at the site David had prepared on the threshing-floor of Ornan[b] the Jebusite. 2 He began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign. 3 These are Solomon’s foundations[c] for building God’s temple: the length[d] was twenty-seven metres,[e] and the width nine metres.[f] 4 The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was nine metres wide; its height was nine metres;[g] he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold. 5 The larger room[h] he panelled with cypress wood, overlaid with fine gold, and decorated with palm trees and chains. 6 He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was the gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid the temple – the beams, the thresholds, its walls and doors – with gold,(C) and he carved cherubim on the walls.(D)
The Most Holy Place
8 Then he made the most holy place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple, nine metres, and its width was nine metres.(E) He overlaid it with twenty tonnes[i] of fine gold. 9 The weight of the nails was 575 grams[j] of gold, and he overlaid the ceiling with gold.
10 He made(F) two cherubim of sculptured work, for the most holy place, and he overlaid them with gold. 11 The overall length of the wings of the cherubim was 9 metres: the wing of one was 2.25 metres,[k] touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 2.25 metres, touching the wing of the other cherub. 12 The wing of the other[l] cherub was 2.25 metres, touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 2.25 metres, reaching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wingspan of these cherubim was 9 metres. They stood on their feet and faced the larger room.[m]
14 He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, and he wove cherubim into it.(G)
The Bronze Pillars
15 In front of the temple(H) he made two pillars, each 8 metres[n] high. The capital on top of each was 2.25 metres high. 16 He had made chainwork in the inner sanctuary and also put it on top of the pillars.(I) He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork. 17 Then he set up the pillars in front of the sanctuary, one on the right and one on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin[o] and the one on the left Boaz.[p]

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(A)
3 Now (B)Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at (C)Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where [a]the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of (D)Ornan[b] the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 This is the foundation (E)which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits. 4 And the (F)vestibule that was in front of [c]the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the height was [d]one hundred and twenty. He overlaid the inside with pure gold. 5 (G)The larger [e]room he (H)paneled with cypress which he overlaid with fine gold, and he carved palm trees and chainwork on it. 6 And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 7 He also overlaid the house—the beams and doorposts, its walls and doors—with gold; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 And he made the (I)Most Holy Place. Its length was according to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. He overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold. 9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold; and he overlaid the upper (J)area with gold. 10 (K)In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim, fashioned by carving, and overlaid them with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in overall length: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub; 12 one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing also was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim spanned twenty cubits overall. They stood on their feet, and they faced inward. 14 And he made the (L)veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and wove cherubim into it.
15 Also he made in front of the [f]temple (M)two pillars [g]thirty-five cubits [h]high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 16 He made wreaths of chainwork, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on top of the pillars; and he made (N)one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the wreaths of chainwork. 17 Then he (O)set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand [i]Jachin, and the name of the one on the left [j]Boaz.
