1 Kings 7
1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
Salomone costruì anche la propria reggia e la portò a compimento in tredici anni.
2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred seventy-two feet and three inches, and its breadth eighty-six feet and two inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.
Costruì il palazzo detto Foresta del Libano, lungo cento cubiti, largo cinquanta e alto trenta su tre ordini di colonne di cedro e con capitelli di cedro sulle colonne.
3 It was covered with cedar above atop the beams which were on the pillars, and the pillars numbered forty-five; fifteen in a row.
Un soffitto di cedro si stendeva sopra le stanze che poggiavano sulle colonne; queste erano quarantacinque, quindici per fila.
4 There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
Vi erano tre serie di finestre, che si corrispondevano faccia a faccia tre volte.
5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
Le porte e i loro stipiti erano a forma quadrangolare; le finestre erano le une di fronte alle altre per tre volte.
6 He made the porch of pillars; its length was eighty-six feet and two inches, and its breadth fifty-one feet and eight inches; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
Costruì il vestibolo delle colonne, lungo cinquanta cubiti e largo trenta. Sul davanti c'era un vestibolo e altre colonne e davanti ad esse una tettoia.
7 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to rafters.
Fece anche il vestibolo del trono, ove rendeva giustizia, cioè il vestibolo della giustizia; era di cedro dal pavimento alle travi.
8 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
La reggia, dove abitava, fu costruita con il medesimo disegno, in un secondo cortile, all'interno rispetto al vestibolo; nello stile di tale vestibolo fece anche una casa per la figlia del faraone, che Salomone aveva sposata.
9 All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
Tutte queste costruzioni erano di pietre pregiate, squadrate secondo misura, segate con la sega sul lato interno ed esterno, dalle fondamenta ai cornicioni e al di fuori fino al cortile maggiore.
10 The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of seventeen feet and three inches, and stones of thirteen feet and nine inches.
Le fondamenta erano di pietre pregiate, pietre grandi dieci o otto cubiti.
11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
Al di sopra erano pietre pregiate, squadrate a misura, e legno di cedro.
12 The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.
Il cortile maggiore comprendeva tre ordini di pietre squadrate e un ordine di tavole di cedro; era simile al cortile interno del tempio e al vestibolo del tempio.
13 King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
Salomone fece venire da Tiro Chiram,
14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in bronze. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.
figlio di una vedova della tribù di Nèftali; suo padre era di Tiro e lavorava il bronzo. Era dotato di grande capacità tecnica, di intelligenza e di talento, esperto in ogni genere di lavoro in bronzo. Egli si recò dal re ed eseguì le sue commissioni.
15 For he cast the two pillars of bronze, thirty-one feet was the height of one pillar; and a line of twenty feet and eight inches could encompass the one pillar, and its thickness hollowed out was almost three inches; and so was the second pillar.
Fuse due colonne di bronzo, ognuna alta diciotto cubiti e dodici di circonferenza.
16 He made two capitals of molten bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was eight feet and seven inches, and the height of the other capital was eight feet and seven inches.
Fece due capitelli, fusi in bronzo, da collocarsi sulla cima delle colonne; l'uno e l'altro erano alti cinque cubiti.
17 There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
Fece due reticolati per coprire i capitelli che erano sopra le colonne, un reticolato per un capitello e un reticolato per l'altro capitello.
18 So he made the pomegranates, two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.
Fece melagrane su due file intorno al reticolato per coprire i capitelli sopra le colonne; allo stesso modo fece per il secondo capitello.
19 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, six feet and eleven inches.
I capitelli sopra le colonne erano a forma di giglio.
20 And the capitals were on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network. And there were two hundred pomegranates in rows all around on the capital, and the same around the other capital.
C'erano capitelli sopra le colonne, applicati alla sporgenza che era al di là del reticolato; essi contenevano duecento melagrane in fila intorno a ogni capitello.
21 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jakin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
Eresse le colonne nel vestibolo del tempio. Eresse la colonna di destra, che chiamò Iachin ed eresse la colonna di sinistra, che chiamò Boaz.
22 On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
Così fu terminato il lavoro delle colonne.
23 He made the molten sea of seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.
Fece un bacino di metallo fuso di dieci cubiti da un orlo all'altro, rotondo; la sua altezza era di cinque cubiti e la sua circonferenza di trenta cubiti.
24 Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
Intorno, sotto l'orlo, c'erano cucurbite, dieci per ogni cubito; le cucurbite erano disposte in due file ed erano state colate insieme con il bacino.
25 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.
Questo poggiava su dodici buoi; tre guardavano verso settentrione, tre verso occidente, tre verso meridione e tre verso oriente. Il bacino poggiava su di essi e le loro parti posteriori erano rivolte verso l'interno.
26 It was almost three inches thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
Il suo spessore era di un palmo; il suo orlo fatto come l'orlo di un calice era a forma di giglio. Conteneva duemila bat.
27 He made the ten bases of bronze; six feet and eleven inches was the length of one base, and six feet and eleven inches its breadth, and five feet and two inches its height.
Fece dieci basi di bronzo, ciascuna lunga quattro cubiti, larga quattro e alta tre cubiti.
28 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
Ecco come erano fatte le basi: si componevano di doghe e di traverse incrociate con le doghe.
29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
Sulle doghe che erano fra le traverse c'erano leoni, buoi e cherubini; le stesse figure erano sulle traverse. Sopra e sotto i leoni e i buoi c'erano ghirlande a forma di festoni.
30 Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of bronze; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
Ciascuna base aveva quattro ruote di bronzo con gli assi di bronzo; i suoi quattro piedi avevano sporgenze, sotto il bacino; le sporgenze erano di metallo fuso e situate al di là di ogni ghirlanda.
31 The mouth of it within the capital and above was twenty-one inches: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, two feet and seven inches; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.
L'estremità della base, dalla parte della sporgenza e sopra, era di un cubito; tale estremità era rotonda, fatta in forma di sostegno, alta un cubito e mezzo; anche su tale estremità c'erano sculture. Le traverse erano di forma quadrata, non rotonda.
32 The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was two feet and seven inches.
Le quattro ruote erano sotto le traverse; gli assi delle ruote erano fissati alla base; l'altezza di ogni ruota era di un cubito e mezzo.
33 The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
Le ruote erano lavorate come le ruote di un carro; i loro assi, i loro quarti, i loro raggi e i loro mozzi erano tutti di metallo fuso.
34 There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.
Quattro sporgenze erano sui quattro angoli di ciascuna base; la sporgenza e la base erano di un sol pezzo.
35 In the top of the base was there a round compass ten and a quarter inches high; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
Alla cima della base c'era un sostegno rotondo, alto mezzo cubito; alla cima della base c'erano i manici; le traverse e la base erano di un sol pezzo.
36 On the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.
Sulle sue pareti scolpì cherubini, leoni e palme, secondo gli spazi liberi, e ghirlande intorno.
37 In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
Fuse le dieci basi in un medesimo stampo, identiche nella misura e nella forma.
38 He made ten basins of bronze: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was six feet and eleven inches; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.
Fuse poi anche dieci bacini di bronzo; ognuno conteneva quaranta bat ed era di quattro cubiti; un bacino per ogni base, per le dieci basi.
39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
Pose cinque delle basi sul lato destro del tempio e cinque su quello sinistro. Pose la vasca sul lato destro del tempio, a sud-est.
40 Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:
Chiram preparò inoltre caldaie, palette e vassoi. E terminò tutte le commissioni del re Salomone per il tempio del Signore,
41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
cioè le due colonne, i globi dei capitelli che erano sopra le colonne, i due reticolati per coprire i due globi dei capitelli che erano sopra le colonne,
42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
le quattrocento melagrane sui due reticolati, due file di melagrane per ciascun reticolato,
43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
le dieci basi e i dieci bacini sulle basi,
44 and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
il bacino e i dodici buoi sotto il bacino,
45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of burnished bronze.
le caldaie, le palette, i vassoi e tutti quei vasi che Chiram aveva fatti al re Salomone per il tempio del Signore; tutto era di bronzo rifinito.
46 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
Il re li fece fondere nella valle del Giordano, in suolo argilloso, fra Succot e Zartan.
47 Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
Salomone installò tutti gli arredi in quantità molto grande: non si poteva calcolare il peso del bronzo.
48 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;
Salomone fece anche tutti gli arredi del tempio del Signore, l'altare d'oro, le tavole d'oro su cui si ponevano i pani dell'offerta,
49 and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
i cinque candelabri a destra e i cinque a sinistra di fronte alla cella d'oro purissimo, i fiori, le lampade, gli smoccolatoi d'oro,
50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
le coppe, i coltelli, gli aspersori, i mortai e i bracieri d'oro purissimo, i cardini per le porte del tempio interno, cioè per il Santo dei santi, e i battenti d'oro per la navata.
51 Thus all the work that Solomon performed in the house of Jehovah was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.
Fu così terminato tutto il lavoro che il re Salomone aveva fatto per il tempio. Salomone presentò le offerte fatte da Davide suo padre, cioè l'argento, l'oro e i vari oggetti; le depositò nei tesori del tempio.
