Kings III 6
1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that 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 And the house which the king built to the Lord [was] forty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height five and twenty cubits.
Domus autem, quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
3 And the porch in front of the temple—twenty cubits [was] its length according to the breadth of the house in front of the house: and he built the house, and finished it.
Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
4 And he made to the house secret windows inclining inward.
Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
5 And against the wall of the house he set chambers round about the temple and the ark.
Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
6 The under side [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [part] six, and the third [was] seven cubits broad; for he formed an interval to the house round about without the house, that they might not touch the walls of the house.
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 And the house was built in the construction of it with rough hewn stones: and there was not heard in the house in the building of it hammer or axe, or any iron tool.
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 And the porch of the under side [was] below the right wing of the house, and [there was] a winding ascent into the middle [chamber], and from the middle to the third story.
Ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dextræ: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium cœnaculum, et a medio in tertium.
9 So he built the house and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house with cedars.
Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
10 And he made the partitions through all the house, each five cubits high, and enclosed each partition with cedar boards.
Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
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.
Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.
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 And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to 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 temple was forty cubits [in extent],
Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
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 in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, [in order] to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini.
20 The length [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth [was] twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.
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 And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished [gilding] the whole house.
Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.
Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
24 And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.
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 Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure.
Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
26 And the height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] with the second cherub.
id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
27 And both the cherubs [were] in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.
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 And he covered the cherubs with gold.
Texit quoque cherubim auro.
29 He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and [he sculptured] palm trees within and without [the house].
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 covered the floor of the house within and without with gold.
Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
31 And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, [there were] porches in a four-fold way.
Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
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.
Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
34 In both the doors [were] planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned [on hinges],
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
35 being carved with cherubs, and [there were] palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it [was] overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.
Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
36 And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about, and he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.
Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
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.
