1 Kings 7
1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Χιραμ ἐκ Τύρου
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.
υἱὸν γυναικὸς χήρας καὶ οὗτος ἀπὸ τῆς φυλῆς Νεφθαλι καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Τύριος τέκτων χαλκοῦ καὶ πεπληρωμένος τῆς τέχνης καὶ συνέσεως καὶ ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ ποιεῖν πᾶν ἔργον ἐν χαλκῷ καὶ εἰσήχθη πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμων καὶ ἐποίησεν πάντα τὰ ἔργα
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.
καὶ ἐχώνευσεν τοὺς δύο στύλους τῷ αιλαμ τοῦ οἴκου ὀκτωκαίδεκα πήχεις ὕψος τοῦ στύλου καὶ περίμετρον τέσσαρες καὶ δέκα πήχεις ἐκύκλου αὐτόν καὶ τὸ πάχος τοῦ στύλου τεσσάρων δακτύλων τὰ κοιλώματα καὶ οὕτως ὁ στῦλος ὁ δεύτερος
4 There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
καὶ δύο ἐπιθέματα ἐποίησεν δοῦναι ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν στύλων χωνευτὰ χαλκᾶ πέντε πήχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ ἑνός καὶ πέντε πήχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ δευτέρου
5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
καὶ ἐποίησεν δύο δίκτυα περικαλύψαι τὸ ἐπίθεμα τῶν στύλων καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ ἑνί καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ
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.
καὶ ἔργον κρεμαστόν δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν χαλκῶν δεδικτυωμένοι ἔργον κρεμαστόν στίχος ἐπὶ στίχον καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ
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.
καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς στύλους τοῦ αιλαμ τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν τὸν στῦλον τὸν ἕνα καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιαχουμ καὶ ἔστησεν τὸν στῦλον τὸν δεύτερον καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βααζ
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.
καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων ἔργον κρίνου κατὰ τὸ αιλαμ τεσσάρων πηχῶν
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.
καὶ μέλαθρον ἐπ’ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν στύλων καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπίθεμα τὸ μέλαθρον τῷ πάχει
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.
καὶ ἐποίησεν τὴν θάλασσαν δέκα ἐν πήχει ἀπὸ τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς στρογγύλον κύκλῳ τὸ αὐτό πέντε ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς καὶ συνηγμένοι τρεῖς καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πήχει ἐκύκλουν αὐτήν
11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
καὶ ὑποστηρίγματα ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς κυκλόθεν ἐκύκλουν αὐτήν δέκα ἐν πήχει κυκλόθεν ἀνιστᾶν τὴν θάλασσαν
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 YHWH, and the porch of the house.
καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς ἔργον χείλους ποτηρίου βλαστὸς κρίνου καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ παλαιστής
13 King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
καὶ δώδεκα βόες ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες βορρᾶν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες θάλασσαν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες νότον καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες ἀνατολήν καὶ πάντα τὰ ὀπίσθια εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἐπ’ αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν
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.
καὶ ἐποίησεν δέκα μεχωνωθ χαλκᾶς πέντε πήχεις μῆκος τῆς μεχωνωθ τῆς μιᾶς καὶ τέσσαρες πήχεις πλάτος αὐτῆς καὶ ἓξ ἐν πήχει ὕψος αὐτῆς
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.
καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν μεχωνωθ σύγκλειστον αὐτοῖς καὶ σύγκλειστον ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων
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.
καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων λέοντες καὶ βόες καὶ χερουβιν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐξεχομένων οὕτως καὶ ἐπάνωθεν καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν λεόντων καὶ τῶν βοῶν χῶραι ἔργον καταβάσεως
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.
καὶ τέσσαρες τροχοὶ χαλκοῖ τῇ μεχωνωθ τῇ μιᾷ καὶ τὰ προσέχοντα χαλκᾶ καὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν ὠμίαι ὑποκάτω τῶν λουτήρων
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.
καὶ χεῖρες ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς ἐν τῇ μεχωνωθ καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ τροχοῦ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους
19 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, six feet and eleven inches.
καὶ τὸ ἔργον τῶν τροχῶν ἔργον τροχῶν ἅρματος αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ πραγματεία αὐτῶν τὰ πάντα χωνευτά
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.
αἱ τέσσαρες ὠμίαι ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν τῆς μεχωνωθ τῆς μιᾶς ἐκ τῆς μεχωνωθ οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῆς
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.
καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς τῆς μεχωνωθ ἥμισυ τοῦ πήχεος μέγεθος στρογγύλον κύκλῳ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς τῆς μεχωνωθ καὶ ἀρχὴ χειρῶν αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς καὶ ἠνοίγετο ἐπὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς
22 On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς χερουβιν καὶ λέοντες καὶ φοίνικες ἑστῶτα ἐχόμενον ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἔσω καὶ τὰ κυκλόθεν
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.
κατ’ αὐτὴν ἐποίησεν πάσας τὰς δέκα μεχωνωθ τάξιν μίαν καὶ μέτρον ἓν πάσαις
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.
καὶ ἐποίησεν δέκα χυτροκαύλους χαλκοῦς τεσσαράκοντα χοεῖς χωροῦντα τὸν χυτρόκαυλον τὸν ἕνα μετρήσει ὁ χυτρόκαυλος ὁ εἷς ἐπὶ τῆς μεχωνωθ τῆς μιᾶς ταῖς δέκα μεχωνωθ
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.
καὶ ἔθετο τὰς δέκα μεχωνωθ πέντε ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν κατ’ ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ νότου
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.
καὶ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ συνετέλεσεν Χιραμ ποιῶν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου
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.
στύλους δύο καὶ τὰ στρεπτὰ τῶν στύλων ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων δύο καὶ τὰ δίκτυα δύο τοῦ καλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ στρεπτὰ τῶν γλυφῶν τὰ ὄντα ἐπὶ τῶν στύλων
28 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
τὰς ῥόας τετρακοσίας ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς δικτύοις δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ περικαλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ στρεπτὰ ἐπ’ ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς στύλοις
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.
καὶ τὰς μεχωνωθ δέκα καὶ τοὺς χυτροκαύλους δέκα ἐπὶ τῶν μεχωνωθ
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.
καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν καὶ τοὺς βόας δώδεκα ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης
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.
καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ οἱ στῦλοι τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ οἴκου κυρίου πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ βασιλέως ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ χαλκᾶ ἄρδην
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.
οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ οὗ ἐποίησεν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα ἐκ πλήθους σφόδρα οὐκ ἦν τέρμα τῷ σταθμῷ τοῦ χαλκοῦ
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.
ἐν τῷ περιοίκῳ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἀνὰ μέσον Σοκχωθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σιρα
34 There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.
καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν ἐφ’ ἧς οἱ ἄρτοι τῆς προσφορᾶς χρυσῆν
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.
καὶ τὰς λυχνίας πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ χρυσᾶς συγκλειομένας καὶ τὰ λαμπάδια καὶ τοὺς λύχνους καὶ τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας χρυσᾶς
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.
καὶ τὰ πρόθυρα καὶ οἱ ἧλοι καὶ αἱ φιάλαι καὶ τὰ τρύβλια καὶ αἱ θυίσκαι χρυσαῖ σύγκλειστα καὶ τὰ θυρώματα τῶν θυρῶν τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐσωτάτου ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς
37 In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
καὶ ἀνεπληρώθη πᾶν τὸ ἔργον ὃ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων οἴκου κυρίου καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Σαλωμων τὰ ἅγια Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅγια Σαλωμων τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἔδωκεν εἰς τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου κυρίου
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.
καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων τρισκαίδεκα ἔτεσιν
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.
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὸν οἶκον δρυμῷ τοῦ Λιβάνου ἑκατὸν πήχεις μῆκος αὐτοῦ καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεις πλάτος αὐτοῦ καὶ τριάκοντα πηχῶν ὕψος αὐτοῦ καὶ τριῶν στίχων στύλων κεδρίνων καὶ ὠμίαι κέδριναι τοῖς στύλοις
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 YHWH:
καὶ ἐφάτνωσεν τὸν οἶκον ἄνωθεν ἐπὶ τῶν πλευρῶν τῶν στύλων καὶ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στύλων τεσσαράκοντα καὶ πέντε δέκα καὶ πέντε ὁ στίχος
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;
καὶ μέλαθρα τρία καὶ χώρα ἐπὶ χώραν τρισσῶς
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;
καὶ πάντα τὰ θυρώματα καὶ αἱ χῶραι τετράγωνοι μεμελαθρωμέναι καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυρώματος ἐπὶ θύραν τρισσῶς
43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
καὶ τὸ αιλαμ τῶν στύλων πεντήκοντα πηχῶν μῆκος καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πλάτει ἐζυγωμένα αιλαμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ στῦλοι καὶ πάχος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς τοῖς αιλαμμιν
44 and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
καὶ τὸ αιλαμ τῶν θρόνων οὗ κρινεῖ ἐκεῖ αιλαμ τοῦ κριτηρίου
45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of YHWH, were of burnished bronze.
καὶ οἶκος αὐτῷ ἐν ᾧ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ αὐλὴ μία ἐξελισσομένη τούτοις κατὰ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο καὶ οἶκον τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραω ἣν ἔλαβεν Σαλωμων κατὰ τὸ αιλαμ τοῦτο
46 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
πάντα ταῦτα ἐκ λίθων τιμίων κεκολαμμένα ἐκ διαστήματος ἔσωθεν καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θεμελίου ἕως τῶν γεισῶν καὶ ἔξωθεν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην
47 Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
τὴν τεθεμελιωμένην ἐν τιμίοις λίθοις μεγάλοις λίθοις δεκαπήχεσιν καὶ τοῖς ὀκταπήχεσιν
48 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of YHWH: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;
καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τιμίοις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον ἀπελεκήτων καὶ κέδροις
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;
τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς μεγάλης κύκλῳ τρεῖς στίχοι ἀπελεκήτων καὶ στίχος κεκολαμμένης κέδρου
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.
καὶ συνετέλεσεν Σαλωμων ὅλον τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ
51 Thus all the work that Solomon performed in the house of YHWH 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 YHWH.
