1 Kings 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 Yhwh.
Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israel de Terra Aegypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio, (ipse est mensis secundus) regni Salomonis super Israel, aedificari coepit domus Domino.
2 And the house which king Solomon built for Yhwh, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
Domus autem, quam aedificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
Et aedificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in 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 haererent muris templi.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Domus autem cum aedificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis aedificata est: et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum aedificaretur.
8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
Ostium lateris medii in pariete erat domus dextrae: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium coenaculum, et a medio in tertium.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
Et aedificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
11 And the word of Yhwh came to Solomon, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
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 among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Igitur aedificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
Et aedificavit 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 twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
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 house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas, et iuncturas suas fabrefactas et caelaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Yhwh.
Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini.
20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was 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 house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera: id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alae unius usque ad alae alterius summitatem.
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
Posuitque cherubim in medio templi interioris: extendebant autem alas suas cherubim, et tangebat ala una parietem, et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum: alae autem alterae in media parte templi se invicem contingebant.
28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
Texit quoque cherubim auro.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis caelaturis et torno: et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
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 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et caelaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
Et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Yhwh laid, in the month Zif:
Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
et in anno undecimo, mense Bul (ipse est mensis octavus) perfecta est domus in omni opere suo, et in universis utensilibus suis: aedificavitque eam annis septem.
