1 Kings 6
1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israel de Terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio, (ipse est mensis secundus) regni Salomonis super Israel, ædificari cœpit domus Domino.
2 The house which king Solomon built for the LORD, its length was one hundred three feet and four inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches.
Domus autem, quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
3 The porch before the temple of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches was its length, according to the breadth of the house. Seventeen feet and three inches was its breadth before the house.
Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
4 For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.
Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
5 Against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side-rooms all around.
Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
6 The lowest story was eight feet and seven inches broad, and the middle was ten feet and four inches broad, and the third was twelve feet and one inch broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not have hold 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 The house, when it was in building, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron 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 And the door for the lowest side-rooms was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, 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 he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
10 He built the stories against all the house, each eight feet and seven inches high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
11 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 statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis 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 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 ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered 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 He built thirty-four feet and five inches on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the beams, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, the most holy place.
Ædificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora: et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in sanctum Sanctorum.
17 In front of the temple sanctuary was sixty-eight feet and eleven inches.
Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
18 And the inside of the house was cedar, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas, et iuncturas suas fabrefactas et cælaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
19 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there 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 before the sanctuary was thirty-four feet and five inches in length, and thirty-four feet and five inches in breadth, and thirty-four feet and five inches in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold. And he made the altar 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 drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
22 The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each seventeen feet and three inches high.
Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
24 Eight feet and seven inches was the one wing of the cherub, and eight feet and seven inches the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were seventeen feet and three inches.
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 The other cherub was seventeen feet and three inches: 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 seventeen feet and three inches, and so was it of the other cherub.
id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
27 He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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: alæ autem alteræ in media parte templi se invicem contingebant.
28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Texit quoque cherubim auro.
29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
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 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
32 So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold 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 So also he made for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;
Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
34 and two doors of fir wood: 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 He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course 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 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 fashion. 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: ædificavitque eam annis septem.
