1 Kings 6
1 And it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto the Lord.
Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israël de terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio (ipse est mensis secundus), regni Salomonis super Israël, ædificari cœpit domus Domino.
2 And the house which king Solomon built unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
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 before the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, juxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
4 And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
5 And he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: and he made side-chambers round about.
Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
6 The nethermost gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing 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 hærerent muris templi.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while it was in building.
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 door for the middle [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
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 covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards of cedar.
Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
10 And he built the gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to the house with timber of cedar.
Et ædificavit 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 This house which thou art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto David thy father.
Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis meis, et judicia 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 children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
et habitabo in medio filiorum Israël, et non derelinquam populum meum Israël.
14 So did Solomon build the house, and finish it.
Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards 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 on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for the holy of holies.
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 house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
18 And the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas et juncturas suas fabrefactas, et cælaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
19 And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini.
20 And the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
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 Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; 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 all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay with gold.
Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 And within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-wood, 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: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
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 And the other cherub was also ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
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 that of the other cherub.
id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
27 And he set the cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, 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 toward the middle of the house touched one another.
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 overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Texit quoque cherubim auro.
29 And on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
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 the floor of the house he overlaid with gold for the debir and for the temple.
Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
31 And for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming five sides.
Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
32 And also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, upon the cherubim, 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 entrance of the temple door-posts of oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos,
34 And two doors of fir-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which were folding.
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
35 And he carved thereon cherubim, and palm-trees and opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved work.
Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
36 And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and one row of cedar beams.
Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month 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, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it 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.
