1 Kings 6
1 And it comes to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year—in the month of Ziv, it [is] the second month—of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he builds the house for 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 As for the house that King Solomon has built for YHWH, its length [is] sixty cubits, and its breadth twenty, and its height 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 As for the porch on the front of the temple of the house, its length [is] twenty cubits on the front of the breadth of the house; its breadth [is] ten by the cubit on the front of the house;
Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
4 and he makes frames of narrowing windows for the house.
Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
5 And he builds a couch against the wall of the house all around, [even] the walls of the house all around, of the temple and of the oracle, and makes sides 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 lowest couch, its breadth [is] five by the cubit; and the middle, its breadth [is] six by the cubit; and the third, its breadth [is] seven by the cubit, for he has put withdrawings of the house all around outside—not to lay hold on 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, in its being built, has been built of perfect stone [that was] brought; and hammer and the axe—any instrument of iron—was not heard in the house in its being built.
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 opening of the middle side [is] at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one to the third.
Ostium lateris medii in pariete erat domus dextrae: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium coenaculum, et a medio in tertium.
9 And he builds the house, and completes it, and covers the house [with] beams and rows of cedars.
Et aedificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
10 And he builds the couch against all the house, its breadth [is] five cubits, and it takes hold of the house by cedar-wood.
Et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
11 And the word of YHWH is to Solomon, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
12 “This house that you are building—if you walk in My statutes, and do My judgments, indeed, have done all My commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with 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 have dwelt in the midst of the sons of Israel, and do not forsake My people Israel.”
Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
14 And Solomon builds the house and completes it;
Igitur aedificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 and he builds the walls of the house within with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling; he has overlaid the inside with wood, and covers the floor of the house with ribs 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 builds the twenty cubits on the sides of the house with ribs of cedar, from the floor to the walls; and he builds for it within, for the oracle, for 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 [this area of] the house was forty by the cubit; it [is the area of] the temple before My face.
Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
18 And the cedar for the house within [is] carvings of knobs and openings of flowers; the whole [is] cedar, there is not a 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 he has prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to put the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH there.
Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini.
20 And before the oracle [is] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height [is] twenty cubits; and he overlays it with gold refined, and overlays the altar with 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 And Solomon overlays the house within with gold refined, and causes [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlays it with gold.
Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
22 And he has overlaid the whole of the house with gold, until the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle has, he has overlaid with gold.
Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 And he makes two cherubim of the oil-tree within the oracle; their height [is] ten cubits;
Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
24 and the first wing of the cherub [is] five cubits, and the second wing of the cherub five cubits—ten cubits from the ends of his wings even to the ends of his wings;
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 second cherub [is] ten by the cubit; one measure and one form [are] of the two cherubim,
Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
26 the height of the first cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so [is] the second cherub;
id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
27 and he sets the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim, and a wing of the first comes against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings [stretched] into the midst of the house, coming wing against wing;
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 overlays the cherubim with gold,
Texit quoque cherubim auro.
29 and he has carved all around the walls of the house with engravings of carvings, cherubim, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, inside and outside.
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 he has overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside;
Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
31 as for the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel [and] doorposts [are] a fifth [of the wall].
Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
32 And the two doors [are] of the oil-tree, and he has carved on them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causes the gold to go down on the cherubim and on 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 And so he has made for the opening of the temple, doorposts of the oil-tree, from the fourth [of the wall].
Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
34 And the two doors [are] of fir-tree, the two sides of the first door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving.
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
35 And he has carved cherubim, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid the carved work with straightened gold.
Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et caelaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
36 And he builds the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.
Et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
37 In the fourth year the house of YHWH has been founded, in the month of Ziv,
Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
38 and in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul (the eighth month), the house has been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he builds it [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: aedificavitque eam annis septem.
