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.

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]

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 ninety feet,[e] and the width thirty feet.[f] 4 The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was thirty feet wide; its height was thirty feet;[g] he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold. 5 The larger room[h] he paneled 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, 30 feet, and its width was 30 feet.(E) He overlaid it with forty-five thousand pounds[i] of fine gold. 9 The weight of the nails was twenty ounces[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 30 feet: the wing of one was 7½ feet,[k] touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7½ feet, touching the wing of the other cherub. 12 The wing of the other[l] cherub was 7½ feet, touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7½ feet, reaching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wingspan of these cherubim was 30 feet. 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 27 feet[n] high. The capital on top of each was 7½ feet 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]
