1 Kings 7
1 And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
Le roi Salomon envoya demander et obtint Hiram de Tyr,
2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
Fils d'une femme veuve, issu de la tribu de Nephthali. Son père était un Tyrien, forgeron plein d'art, d'intelligence et d'habileté pour faire toutes sortes d'ouvrages d'airain; quand on l'eut amené au roi Salomon, il lui fit tous ses travaux.
3 And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.
Il jeta en fonte les deux colonnes du vestibule du temple, chacune haute de dix-huit coudées, ayant quatorze coudées de périmètre et des cannelures de quatre doigts.
4 And there were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
Il jeta en fonte, pour les colonnes, deux chapiteaux, ayant chacun cinq coudées de haut.
5 And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
Il fabriqua deux filets d'airain pour couvrir les deux chapiteaux des colonnes.
6 And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
Et, pour chaque chapiteau, une guirlande suspendue; deux lignes de grenades d'airain en forme de filets, suspendues en guirlande, une ligne au- dessus de l'autre.
7 And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
Il dressa les colonnes du vestibule du temple: à l'un, il donna le nom de Jachum, et à l'autre, il donna le nom de Boloz.
8 And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch.
Et il plaça, dans les chapiteaux des colonnes, dans le sens de la façade du vestibule, des lis d'airain de quatre coudées.
9 All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.
Une architrave réunit les deux colonnes, et il y eut de chaque côté une architrave en retour, de la même épaisseur.
10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
Et il fit la mer complètement circulaire; tout autour, il y avait dix coudées d'un bord à l'autre; elle était profonde de cinq coudées, et avait trente-trois coudées de circonférence intérieure.
11 And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.
Au-dessous de ses bords, il fit des étais tout alentour, dix par coudée.
12 And the great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.
Ses bords s'évasaient comme une coupe en forme de fleur de lis; et elle avait une palme d'épaisseur.
13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
Il fit douze bœufs sous la mer: trois regardant le septentrion, trois regardant l'occident, trois regardant le midi, trois regardant le levant; leurs queues étaient tournées vers l'intérieur du temple, et la mer les couvrait.
14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
Il fit dix bassins d'airain, chacun long de cinq coudées, large de quatre, haut de six.
15 For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.
Ces bassins étaient composés de pièces de rapport, et les pièces rapportées étaient entre les parties saillantes.
16 And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
Et, sur les pièces rapportées, entres les parties saillantes, il fit des lions, des bœufs, des œuvres variées; et, sur les parties saillantes, en dessus comme en dessous, les places des lions et des bœufs, œuvre allant en pente.
17 There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
Et chaque bassin avait quatre roues d'airain, ses accessoires étaient d'airain; et, des quatre côtés, il y avait des supports sous les cuvettes.
18 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital.
Il y avait des crampons dans les bassins et dans les roues; la hauteur d'une roue était d'une demi-coudée.
19 And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.
Et les roues étaient faites comme les roues d'un char; leurs crampons, leurs bandes, leurs accessoires, étaient jetés en fonte.
20 And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other capital.
Les quatre supports, aux quatre coins de chaque bassin, faisaient saillie sur lui, et les maintenaient.
21 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
Le bassin, dans sa partie supérieure, était terminé par une moulure saillante d'une demi-coudée tout alentour; les crampons s'emboîtaient dans son contour, et le bassin avait une ouverture à l'emboîtement des crampons.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
Toute sa surface était ornée de chérubins, de lions et de palmes; chacune de ces sculptures faisant saillie sur le fond tout alentour.
23 And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
Et les dix bassins étaient faits de même, et avaient les mêmes dimensions.
24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
Et il fit dix cuvettes d'airain, profondes de quatre coudées, contenant chacune quarante conges; et chacune de ces cuvettes fut placée dans l'un des dix bassins.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
Hiram plaça cinq bassins du côté de l'aile droite du temple, les cinq autres du côté de l'aile gauche, et la mer du côté de l'aile droite, à l'orient vers le midi.
26 And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
Et Hiram fit encore les chaudières, les poêles et les coupes; enfin, il acheva tous les travaux qu'il fit pour le roi Salomon dans le temple du Seigneur, savoir:
27 And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
les deux colonnes et les deux guirlandes pour leurs chapiteaux, et deux filets pour couvrir les deux guirlandes des cannelures qui étaient sur les colonnes.
28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
Les quatre cents grenades entremêlées dans les filets; deux rangées de grenades par filet, pour voiler les guirlandes de la coupe, en forme de lis, sur les deux colonnes;
29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
Les dix bassins et les dix cuvettes posées dans les bassins,
30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
La mer et les douze bœufs sous la mer;
31 And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.
Les chaudières, les poêles, les coupes et tous les vases que Salomon lui avait commandés pour le temple du Seigneur, et les quarante-huit colonnes du palais du roi et du temple du Seigneur. Tels furent les travaux qu'Hiram fit en entier pour le roi Salomon.
32 And the four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
On ne pesa point l'airain que l'on y employa; la quantité en fut telle qu'on ne put la mesurer.
33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
On jeta l'airain en fonte auprès du Jourdain dans une terre argileuse, entre Socchoth et Sira.
34 And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself.
Salomon prit les ornements qu'Hiram avait faits dans le temple du Seigneur: l'autel d'or, la table d'or des pains de proposition;
35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same.
Les cinq chandeliers d'or placés à gauche, et les cinq placés à droite de la face de l'oracle, tous d'or et de pièces rajustées; et les petites lampes, et les luminaires, et les burettes d'or.
36 And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
Il avait fait faire aussi les panneaux des portiques, les clous, les coupes, les plats et les encensoirs d'or, et les panneaux des portes intérieures du temple et du Saint des saints, et les portes d'or de la nef.
37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
Tous les travaux du temple du Seigneur que Salomon fit faire étant terminés, il transporta les objets d'or et d'argent consacrés par David son père, et par lui-même, et il les déposa dans le trésor du temple du Seigneur.
38 And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
Ensuite, Salomon fit bâtir pour lui-même un palais en treize ans.
39 And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
Il le bâtit en cèdres du Liban; ce palais était long de cent coudées, large de cinquante, haut de trente; il avait trois rangs de colonnes de cèdre; et les traverses entre les chapiteaux étaient en cèdre.
40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:
Il plafonna le palais au-dessus des colonnes; chaque rang de colonnes en comptait quarante-cinq.
41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
Et il fit trois chambres par rangée, et elles étaient également espacées.
42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;
Il fit toutes les portes, et les intervalles formant les chambres étaient carrés, et les portes correspondaient aux portes dans les trois rangées.
43 and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
Il fit un vestibule de colonnes, lequel avait cinquante coudées de long et cinquante coudées de large, et se rattachait à un autre vestibule qui lui faisait face; et il y avait, sur la façade des vestibules, des colonnes très grosses.
44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
Il fit aussi le vestibule des trônes, où le roi jugeait; c'était la galerie du jugement;
45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of burnished brass.
Et le palais auquel appartenaient ces vestibules et où le roi devait demeurer avait un parvis, par où on allait à ces vestibules, et construit comme eux; il fit encore le palais de la fille du Pharaon, que le roi avait épousée, de même architecture que les vestibules.
46 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
Tous ces bâtiments étaient en bonnes pierres de taille, sculptées par intervalles extérieurement, depuis le sol jusqu'à la corniche; au dehors il y avait un grand parvis;
47 And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.
Ses fondations étaient de grandes et belles pierres, longues de dix et de huit coudées,
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;
En haut desquelles il y avait de belles pierres aussi grandes que les pierres de taille, et des cèdres.
49 and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
Et il y avait autour du parvis trois rangs de pierres de taille, et un rang de cèdres sculptés.
50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.
Ainsi Salomon acheva tout son palais.
51 Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.
