1 Kings 6
1 Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
factum est igitur quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israhel de terra Aegypti in anno quarto mense zio ipse est mensis secundus regis Salomonis super Israhel aedificare coepit domum Domino
2 Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
domus autem quam aedificabat rex Salomon Domino habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine et viginti cubitos in latitudine et triginta cubitos in altitudine
3 And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi
4 And he made oblique windows in the temple.
fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas
5 And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
et aedificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi et fecit latera in circuitu
6 The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
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 hererent muris templi
7 Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
domus autem cum aedificaretur lapidibus dedolatis atque perfectis aedificata est et malleus et securis et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum aedificaretur
8 The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dexterae et per cocleam ascendebant in medium cenaculum et a medio in tertium
9 And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
et aedificavit domum et consummavit eam texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis
10 And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis et operuit domum lignis cedrinis
11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem dicens
12 “Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
domus haec quam aedificas si ambulaveris in praeceptis 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 in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
et habitabo in medio filiorum Israhel et non derelinquam populum meum Israhel
14 And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
igitur aedificavit Salomon domum et consummavit eam
15 And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
et aedificavit parietes domus intrinsecus tabulatis cedrinis a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum et usque ad laquearia operuit lignis intrinsecus et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis
16 And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
aedificavitque 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 itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi
18 And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur habens tornaturas suas et iuncturas fabrefactas et celaturas eminentes omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete
19 Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
oraculum autem in medio domus in interiori parte fecerat ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini
20 And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in 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 Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo et adfixit lamminas clavis aureis
22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro
23 And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
et fecit in oraculo duo cherubin de lignis olivarum decem cubitorum altitudinis
24 One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
quinque cubitorum ala cherub una et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera id est decem cubitos habentes a summitate alae usque ad alae alterius summitatem
25 Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus mensura pari et opus unum erat in duobus cherubin
26 that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
id est altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum et similiter cherub secundus
27 And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
posuitque cherubin in medio templi interioris extendebant autem alas suas cherubin et tangebat ala una parietem et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum alae autem alterae in media parte templi se invicem contingebant
28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
texit quoque cherubin auro
29 And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
et omnes parietes templi per circuitum scalpsit variis celaturis et torno et fecit in eis cherubin et palmas et picturas varias quasi prominentes de pariete et egredientes
30 Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus
31 And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum postesque angulorum quinque
32 And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
et duo ostia de lignis olivarum et scalpsit in eis picturam cherubin et palmarum species et anaglyfa valde prominentia et texit ea auro et operuit tam cherubin quam palmas et cetera auro
33 And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
fecitque in introitum templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos
34 and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus et utrumque ostium duplex erat et se invicem tenens aperiebatur
35 And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
et scalpsit cherubin et palmas et celaturas valde eminentes operuitque omnia lamminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam
36 And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum et uno ordine lignorum cedri
37 In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense zio
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
et in anno undecimo mense bul ipse est mensis octavus perfecta est domus in omni opere suo et in universis utensilibus aedificavitque eam annis septem
