1 Kings 6
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, in the month of Ziv, the second month of the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, he began to build the house of the LORD.
Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israel de Terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio, (ipse est mensis secundus) regni Salomonis super Israel, ædificari cœpit domus Domino.
2 The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
Domus autem, quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
3 The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits long, extending across the width of the temple and projecting out ten cubits in front of the temple.
Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
4 He also had narrow windows framed high in the temple.
Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
5 Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms.
Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
6 The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.
Tabulatum, quod subter erat, quinque cubitos habebat latitudinis, et medium tabulatum sex cubitorum latitudinis, et tertium tabulatum septem habens cubitos latitudinis. Trabes autem posuit in domo per circuitum forinsecus, ut non hærerent muris templi.
7 The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
Domus autem cum ædificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis ædificata est: et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum ædificaretur.
8 The entrance to the bottom floor was on the south side of the temple. A stairway led up to the middle level, and from there to the third floor.
Ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dextræ: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium cœnaculum, et a medio in tertium.
9 So Solomon built the temple and finished it, roofing it with beams and planks of cedar.
Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
10 He built chambers all along the temple, each five cubits high and attached to the temple with beams of cedar.
Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
11 Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
12 “As for this temple you are building, if you walk in My statutes, carry out My ordinances, and keep all My commandments by walking in them, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.
Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis meis, et iudicia mea feceris, et custodieris omnia mandata mea, gradiens per ea: firmabo sermonem meum tibi, quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum.
13 And I will dwell among the Israelites and will not abandon My people Israel.”
Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
14 So Solomon built the temple and finished it.
Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 He lined the interior walls with cedar paneling from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and he covered the floor with cypress boards.
Et ædificavit parietes domus intrinsecus, tabulatis cedrinis, a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum, et usque ad laquearia, operuit lignis cedrinis intrinsecus: et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis.
16 He partitioned off the twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
Ædificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora: et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in Sanctum Sanctorum.
17 And the main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.
Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
18 The cedar paneling inside the temple was carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; not a stone could be seen.
Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas, et iuncturas suas fabrefactas et cælaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
19 Solomon also prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini.
20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.
Porro oraculum habebat viginti cubitos longitudinis, et viginti cubitos latitudinis, et viginti cubitos altitudinis: et operuit illud atque vestivit auro purissimo. Sed et altare vestivit cedro.
21 So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.
Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
22 So he overlaid with gold the whole interior of the temple, until everything was completely finished. He also overlaid with gold the entire altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim, each ten cubits high, out of olive wood.
Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing was five cubits long as well. So the full wingspan was ten cubits.
Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera: id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alæ unius usque ad alæ alterius summitatem.
25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same size and shape,
Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
26 and the height of each cherub was ten cubits.
id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
27 And he placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple. Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.
Posuitque cherubim in medio templi interioris: extendebant autem alas suas cherubim, et tangebat ala una parietem, et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum: alæ autem alteræ in media parte templi se invicem contingebant.
28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Texit quoque cherubim auro.
29 Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis cælaturis et torno: et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes.
30 And he overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.
Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
32 The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.
Et duo ostia de lignis olivarum: et sculpsit in eis picturam cherubim, et palmarum species, et anaglypha valde prominentia: et texit ea auro: et operuit tam cherubim quam palmas, et cetera, auro.
33 In the same way he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the sanctuary entrance.
Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
34 The two doors were made of cypress wood, and each had two folding panels.
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
35 He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold, hammered evenly over the carvings.
Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
36 Solomon built the inner courtyard with three rows of dressed stone and one row of trimmed cedar beams.
Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
37 The foundation of the house of the LORD was laid in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in the month of Ziv.
Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
38 In his eleventh year and eighth month, the month of Bul, the temple was finished in every detail and according to every specification. So he built the temple in seven years.
et in anno undecimo, mense Bul (ipse est mensis octavus) perfecta est domus in omni opere suo, et in universis utensilibus suis: ædificavitque eam annis septem.
