2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
Entonces Salomón comenzó a construir el Templo del Señor en Jerusalén, en el monte Moriah, donde el Señor se apareció a su padre David. Este era el lugar que David había dispuesto: la antigua era de Ornán el jebuseo.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Salomón comenzó la construcción el segundo día del segundo mes de su cuarto año como rey.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
El tamaño de los cimientos que Salomón puso para el Templo de Dios era de sesenta codos de largo y veinte de ancho, (según la antigua medida de codos).
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
El pórtico que corría a lo ancho del Templo tenía veinte codos de largo y veinte codos de altura. Cubrió el interior del pórtico con oro puro.
5 Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
Recubrió la sala principal con ciprés recubierto de oro fino, con imágenes de palmeras y cadenas.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
Decoró el Templo con hermosas gemas y con oro que importó de Parvaim.
7 They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
Cubrió de oro las vigas, los umbrales, las paredes y las puertas del Templo, y esculpió querubines en las paredes.
8 They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
Hizo que la sala del Lugar Santísimo se correspondiera con la anchura del Templo: veinte codos de largo y veinte de ancho. Cubrió el interior con seiscientos talentos de oro fino.
9 They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
El peso de los clavos era de un siclo por cada cincuenta siclos de oro.
10 Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Hizo para el Lugar Santísimo dos querubines de madera cubiertos de oro.
11 [Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
La envergadura de los querubines juntos era de veinte codos. Un ala del primer querubín medía cinco codos y tocaba una de las paredes del Templo, mientras que su otra ala, también de cinco codos, tocaba el segundo querubín.
Del mismo modo, una de las alas del segundo querubín medía cinco codos y tocaba una de las paredes del Templo, mientras que su otra ala, que también medía cinco codos, tocaba al primer querubín.
13 It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
Así que la envergadura de estos querubines juntos era de veinte codos. Estaban de pie, de cara a la sala principal.
14 Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
Hizo el velo de bordado azul, púrpura y carmesí sobre lino fino, con imágenes de querubines.
15 They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
Hizo dos columnas para la fachada del Templo, de treinta y cinco codos, cada una con un capitel de cinco codos de altura.
16 The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
Hizo cadenas como en el Lugar Santísimo y las colocó encima de las columnas. También hizo cien granadas ornamentales y las fijó a cada cadena.
17 They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
Colocó las columnas frente al Templo, una al sur y otra al norte. A la columna del sur le puso el nombre de Jaquín, y a la del norte el de Booz.
