1 Kings 7
1 Solomon took thirteen years to build his own palace.
Salomo membangun juga istana untuk dirinya. Pembangunan istana itu makan waktu tiga belas tahun.
2 He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.
Di istana itu Salomo membuat ruangan yang disebut "Balai Hutan Libanon". Ukurannya: panjang 44 meter, lebar 22 meter, dan tinggi 13,5 meter. Balai itu mempunyai tiga jajar tiang dari kayu cemara Libanon; tiap jajar terdiri dari lima belas tiang dan di atasnya dipasang kasau-kasau dari kayu cemara Libanon. Langit-langitnya terbuat dari kayu yang sama dan menutupi kasau-kasau itu.
3 The house was roofed with cedar that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.
4 There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.
Pada dinding kiri dan kanan balai itu terdapat jendela-jendela: tiga deretan pada dinding yang satu berhadapan dengan tiga deretan pada dinding yang lainnya. Bingkai pintu-pintu dan jendela-jendelanya berbentuk empat persegi panjang.
5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.
6 There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.
Salomo juga membangun "Balai Pilar". Panjang balai itu 22 meter dan lebarnya 13,5 meter. Di depan balai itu ada serambi yang berpilar dan bertangga.
7 Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
Balai yang lain ialah "Balai Tahta" yang disebut juga Balai Pengadilan. Balai ini dari lantai sampai ke kasau-kasaunya dilapisi dengan kayu cemara Libanon. Di balai inilah Salomo memutuskan perkara-perkara pengadilan.
8 Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
Tempat tinggal Salomo dibuat seperti gedung-gedung lainnya dan terdapat di pelataran lain di belakang Balai Pengadilan. Untuk istrinya, yaitu putri raja Mesir, Salomo membangun juga gedung yang serupa.
9 These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.
Semua bangunan itu, termasuk pelataran besarnya, dari pondasinya sampai ke atapnya, dibuat dari batu yang bagus-bagus. Batu-batu itu disiapkan di tambang batu, dan dipotong menurut ukuran; bagian dalam dan bagian luarnya diratakan dengan gergaji.
10 The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.
Pondasi gedung-gedung itu dibuat dari batu-batu besar yang berharga. Batu-batu itu ada yang 3,5 meter panjangnya, ada pula yang empat meter.
11 Above were costly hewn stones precisely cut to size, and cedar beams.
Di atasnya dipasang batu-batu lain yang berharga dan dipotong menurut ukuran, lalu ditutup dengan kayu cemara Libanon.
12 The great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.
Tembok pelataran istana dan tembok pelataran dalam di Rumah TUHAN serta tembok balai di bagian depan Rumah TUHAN, masing-masing terdiri dari satu lapisan kayu cemara Libanon di atas tiap tiga lapisan batu.
13 King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from Tyre.
Di kota Tirus ada seorang laki-laki bernama Huram. Ia benar-benar ahli dan banyak berpengalaman dalam membuat segala macam barang perunggu. Almarhum ayahnya adalah orang Tirus dan juga ahli dalam barang-barang perunggu. Ibunya dari suku Naftali. Raja Salomo telah menyuruh orang pergi menjemput Huram untuk datang dan mengepalai seluruh pekerjaan pembuatan barang perunggu. Maka datanglah Huram dan mengerjakan apa yang diminta oleh Salomo.
14 Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.
15 Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
Huram membuat dua tiang perunggu masing-masing tingginya 8 meter, lingkarnya 5,3 meter, dan tebal perunggunya 7,4 sentimeter. Tiang-tiang itu kosong di dalamnya.
16 He made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.
Untuk tiang-tiang itu ia membuat dua kepala tiang dari perunggu, masing-masing tingginya 2,2 meter
17 Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
berbentuk bunga bakung setinggi 1,8 meter. Setiap kepala tiang itu dihias dengan dua jajar buah delima dari perunggu. Semuanya ada dua ratus buah delima pada setiap kepala tiang. Lalu Huram membuat anyaman rantai dari perunggu dan menaruhnya di atas tiang-tiang itu. Ada tujuh anyaman rantai di atas setiap tiang, dan di atas anyaman rantai itu pula ada sebuah alas bundar. Di atas alas bundar inilah
18 So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.
19 The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.
20 The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
21 He raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz.
kepala-kepala tiang yang berbentuk bunga bakung itu dipasang pada tiang-tiang itu. Tiang-tiang itu ditempatkan di depan pintu masuk ke Rumah TUHAN--satu di sebelah selatan, yang lainnya di sebelah utara. Yang di sebelah selatan dinamakan Yakhin, dan yang di sebelah utara dinamakan Boas. Demikianlah Huram menyelesaikan pembuatan tiang-tiang itu.
22 On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.
23 Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
Kemudian Huram membuat sebuah bejana perunggu yang bundar, dengan ukuran sebagai berikut: dalamnya 2,2 meter, garis tengahnya 4,4 meter dan lingkarnya 13,2 meter.
24 Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.
Sekeliling tepi luarnya dihias dengan dua jajar buah labu, yang dicor bersama-sama dengan bejana itu.
25 “The Sea” stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
Bejana itu ditempatkan di atas punggung dua belas sapi perunggu--tiga menghadap ke utara, tiga ke selatan, tiga ke barat, dan tiga ke timur.
26 The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water.
Tebal bejana itu 75 milimeter. Tepinya serupa tepi cangkir yang melengkung keluar mirip bunga bakung yang mekar. Bejana itu dapat memuat kira-kira 40.000 liter.
27 Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.
Huram juga membuat sepuluh kereta perunggu, masing-masing panjangnya 1,8 meter, lebarnya 1,8 meter, tingginya 1,3 meter.
28 The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames,
Kereta-kereta itu terdiri dari papan-papan persegi yang dipasang dalam bingkai.
29 and on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.
Papan-papan itu dihias dengan ukiran singa, sapi dan kerub. Pada bingkai-bingkainya--di atas dan di bawah gambar-gambar singa dan sapi itu--tergantung ukiran rangkaian bunga.
30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one.
Setiap kereta itu mempunyai empat roda perunggu dengan poros roda dari perunggu juga. Pada keempat sudut kereta itu ada tiang penahan baskom dari perunggu dengan hiasan rangkaian bunga di sebelah luarnya.
31 The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.
Bagian atas keempat tiang penahan itu dihubungkan oleh sebuah bingkai bundar untuk penahan baskomnya. Tiang-tiang penahan itu menonjol setinggi 44 sentimeter di atas papan persegi itu, dan 22 sentimeter di bawahnya. Pada mulut bingkai itu ada ukiran.
32 The four wheels were underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
Tinggi roda-rodanya 66 sentimeter; letaknya di bawah papan-papan. Poros rodanya dengan keretanya merupakan satu bagian.
33 The wheels were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
Roda-rodanya itu serupa dengan roda kereta perang; lingkar roda, jari-jari, poros dan pusat jari-jari rodanya semuanya terbuat dari perunggu.
34 There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.
Ada empat tiang penahan pada setiap sudut bagian bawah kereta itu. Tiang-tiang itu merupakan satu bagian dengan keretanya.
35 In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.
Di sekeliling bagian atas kereta itu ada pinggiran selebar 22 sentimeter. Tiang penahannya dan papan-papannya semuanya merupakan satu bagian dengan keretanya.
36 On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.
Tiang-tiang penahan dan papan-papan itu dihiasi dengan gambar kerub, singa, dan pohon palem di mana saja ada tempat yang kosong untuk itu, disertai rangkaian bunga sekelilingnya.
37 He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same shape.
Demikianlah caranya kereta-kereta itu dibuat. Semuanya serupa--bentuk dan ukurannya.
38 Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of ten stands.
Huram membuat juga sepuluh baskom besar, satu untuk setiap kereta. Tiap baskom itu mempunyai garis tengah 1,8 meter dan dapat memuat 800 liter air.
39 He made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south of the temple.
Huram menaruh lima kereta di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN, dan lima di sebelah utara. Bejana perunggu diletakkannya di sudut sebelah tenggara.
40 Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:
Huram membuat juga kuali-kuali, sekop-sekop dan mangkuk-mangkuk. Sesudah itu selesailah seluruh pekerjaannya bagi Raja Salomo untuk Rumah TUHAN. Inilah perlengkapan yang telah dibuatnya: Dua tiang besar; Dua kepala tiang berbentuk mangkuk yang ditempatkan di atas kedua tiang itu; Anyaman rantai pada setiap kepala tiang; Empat ratus delima perunggu yang disusun dalam dua jajar sekeliling anyaman rantai pada setiap kepala tiang; Sepuluh kereta; Sepuluh baskom besar; Bejana perunggu; Dua belas sapi perunggu yang menopang bejana itu; Kuali-kuali, sekop-sekop dan mangkuk-mangkuk. Semua perlengkapan untuk Rumah TUHAN itu, yang dibuat Huram untuk Raja Salomo, dibuat dari perunggu, dan digosok sampai berkilap.
41 the two pillars, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
42 He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);
43 the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.
44 He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its twelve oxen under it;
45 also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.
46 The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
Raja menyuruh membuat barang-barang itu di pengecoran logam antara Sukot dan Sartan di Lembah Yordan.
47 Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
Salomo tidak menyuruh menimbang barang-barang perunggu itu, sebab jumlahnya terlalu banyak. Jadi, berat barang-barang itu tidak diketahui.
48 Solomon had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
Raja Salomo juga menyuruh membuat perlengkapan-perlengkapan lain dari emas untuk Rumah TUHAN. Inilah perlengkapan-perlengkapan yang dibuatnya itu: Mezbah; Meja untuk roti yang dipersembahkan kepada Allah; Sepuluh kaki pelita yang ditempatkan di depan Ruang Mahasuci yaitu lima di sebelah selatan dan lima di sebelah utara; Bunga-bunga; Pelita-pelita; Sepit-sepit; Cangkir-cangkir; Alat pemadam pelita; Mangkuk-mangkuk; Piring-piring untuk dupa; Piring-piring untuk bara; Engsel-engsel untuk pintu Ruang Mahasuci dan pintu-pintu luar Rumah TUHAN.
49 the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of gold.
50 Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 In this way, all the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
Setelah Raja Salomo selesai membangun Rumah TUHAN, ia menyimpan di dalam gudang-gudang rumah itu semua perak, emas, dan barang-barang lain yang telah dipersembahkan oleh Daud ayahnya kepada TUHAN.
