1 Rois 7
1 Le roi Salomon envoya demander et obtint Hiram de Tyr,
But his own house was Solomon building thirteen years, and then he finished all his house.
2 Fils d'une femme veuve, issu de la tribu de Nephthali. Son père était un Tyrien, forgeron plein d'art, d'intelligence et d'habileté pour faire toutes sortes d'ouvrages d'airain; quand on l'eut amené au roi Salomon, il lui fit tous ses travaux.
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon: a hundred cubits was its length, and fifty cubits was its breadth, and thirty cubits was its height, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 Il jeta en fonte les deux colonnes du vestibule du temple, chacune haute de dix-huit coudées, ayant quatorze coudées de périmètre et des cannelures de quatre doigts.
And it was covered with cedar above over the beams, that lay on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 Il jeta en fonte, pour les colonnes, deux chapiteaux, ayant chacun cinq coudées de haut.
And there were window-spaces in three rows, and windows were opposite each other in three ranks.
5 Il fabriqua deux filets d'airain pour couvrir les deux chapiteaux des colonnes.
And all the entrances and door-posts formed a square in shape: and windows were opposite windows in three ranks.
6 Et, pour chaque chapiteau, une guirlande suspendue; deux lignes de grenades d'airain en forme de filets, suspendues en guirlande, une ligne au- dessus de l'autre.
And he made a porch of pillars: fifty cubits was its length, and thirty cubits its breadth; and the porch was before them; and the other pillars with an entablature before them.
7 Il dressa les colonnes du vestibule du temple: à l'un, il donna le nom de Jachum, et à l'autre, il donna le nom de Boloz.
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 Et il plaça, dans les chapiteaux des colonnes, dans le sens de la façade du vestibule, des lis d'airain de quatre coudées.
And his house where he dwelt in another court within the porch, was of the like work: and Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken for wife, like unto this porch.
9 Une architrave réunit les deux colonnes, et il y eut de chaque côté une architrave en retour, de la même épaisseur.
All these were of heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, sawed with the saw inside and outside, even from the foundation unto the coping, and from the outside unto the great court.
10 Et il fit la mer complètement circulaire; tout autour, il y avait dix coudées d'un bord à l'autre; elle était profonde de cinq coudées, et avait trente-trois coudées de circonférence intérieure.
And the foundation was of heavy stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 Au-dessous de ses bords, il fit des étais tout alentour, dix par coudée.
And above were heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, and cedars.
12 Ses bords s'évasaient comme une coupe en forme de fleur de lis; et elle avait une palme d'épaisseur.
And the great court round about was of three rows of hewn stones, and one row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.
13 Il fit douze bœufs sous la mer: trois regardant le septentrion, trois regardant l'occident, trois regardant le midi, trois regardant le levant; leurs queues étaient tournées vers l'intérieur du temple, et la mer les couvrait.
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 Il fit dix bassins d'airain, chacun long de cinq coudées, large de quatre, haut de six.
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in copper: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to make every work in copper; and he came to king Solomon, and did all his work.
15 Ces bassins étaient composés de pièces de rapport, et les pièces rapportées étaient entre les parties saillantes.
And he cast two pillars of copper, eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar; and a line of twelve cubits did encompass the second pillar.
16 Et, sur les pièces rapportées, entres les parties saillantes, il fit des lions, des bœufs, des œuvres variées; et, sur les parties saillantes, en dessus comme en dessous, les places des lions et des bœufs, œuvre allant en pente.
And he made two capitals, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten copper; five cubits was the height of the one capital, and five cubits was the height of the other capital;
17 Et chaque bassin avait quatre roues d'airain, ses accessoires étaient d'airain; et, des quatre côtés, il y avait des supports sous les cuvettes.
And nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
18 Il y avait des crampons dans les bassins et dans les roues; la hauteur d'une roue était d'une demi-coudée.
And he made the pillars, so that two rows of pomegranates were round about upon the one net-work, to cover the capitals that were upon the top: and the same he made for the other capital.
19 Et les roues étaient faites comme les roues d'un char; leurs crampons, leurs bandes, leurs accessoires, étaient jetés en fonte.
And the capitals, that were upon the top of the pillars, furnished with lily-work, [as] those in the porch, were four cubits.
20 Les quatre supports, aux quatre coins de chaque bassin, faisaient saillie sur lui, et les maintenaient.
And the capitals upon the two pillars rose also above, close by the rounding which was on the side of the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about, upon either capital.
21 Le bassin, dans sa partie supérieure, était terminé par une moulure saillante d'une demi-coudée tout alentour; les crampons s'emboîtaient dans son contour, et le bassin avait une ouverture à l'emboîtement des crampons.
And he set up the pillars for the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Yachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
22 Toute sa surface était ornée de chérubins, de lions et de palmes; chacune de ces sculptures faisant saillie sur le fond tout alentour.
And upon the top of the pillars there was lily-work: and so was finished the work of the pillars.
23 Et les dix bassins étaient faits de même, et avaient les mêmes dimensions.
And he made the molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other, rounded all about, and it was five cubits in height: and a line of thirty cubits did encompass it round about.
24 Et il fit dix cuvettes d'airain, profondes de quatre coudées, contenant chacune quarante conges; et chacune de ces cuvettes fut placée dans l'un des dix bassins.
And colocynth-shaped knobs were under its brim round about encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea round about: the colocynths were in two rows, and were cast [with it] when it was cast.
25 Hiram plaça cinq bassins du côté de l'aile droite du temple, les cinq autres du côté de l'aile gauche, et la mer du côté de l'aile droite, à l'orient vers le midi.
It was standing upon 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 resting above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 Et Hiram fit encore les chaudières, les poêles et les coupes; enfin, il acheva tous les travaux qu'il fit pour le roi Salomon dans le temple du Seigneur, savoir:
And its thickness was a hand's breadth, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with lily-buds: it could contain two thousand baths.
27 les deux colonnes et les deux guirlandes pour leurs chapiteaux, et deux filets pour couvrir les deux guirlandes des cannelures qui étaient sur les colonnes.
And he made ten bases of copper: four cubits was the length of each one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.
28 Les quatre cents grenades entremêlées dans les filets; deux rangées de grenades par filet, pour voiler les guirlandes de la coupe, en forme de lis, sur les deux colonnes;
And this was the workmanship of the bases: They had borders, and the borders were between the corner ledges;
29 Les dix bassins et les dix cuvettes posées dans les bassins,
And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the corner ledges it was thus also above; and likewise beneath the lions and oxen were pendant wreaths of plated work.
30 La mer et les douze bœufs sous la mer;
And every base had four copper wheels, and axles of copper; and its four corners had undersetters; under the laver were the undersetters cast on; at the side of each were pendants.
31 Les chaudières, les poêles, les coupes et tous les vases que Salomon lui avait commandés pour le temple du Seigneur, et les quarante-huit colonnes du palais du roi et du temple du Seigneur. Tels furent les travaux qu'Hiram fit en entier pour le roi Salomon.
And its mouth was within the capital and above a cubit in height; but the mouth of this was rounded after the work of the base, a cubit and a half cubit; and also upon its mouth were carvings; and their borders were square, not rounded.
32 On ne pesa point l'airain que l'on y employa; la quantité en fut telle qu'on ne put la mesurer.
And the four wheels were under the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of each one wheel was a cubit and a half cubit.
33 On jeta l'airain en fonte auprès du Jourdain dans une terre argileuse, entre Socchoth et Sira.
And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot-wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all cast.
34 Salomon prit les ornements qu'Hiram avait faits dans le temple du Seigneur: l'autel d'or, la table d'or des pains de proposition;
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of each one base; the undersetters were of one piece with the base itself.
35 Les cinq chandeliers d'or placés à gauche, et les cinq placés à droite de la face de l'oracle, tous d'or et de pièces rajustées; et les petites lampes, et les luminaires, et les burettes d'or.
And on the top of the base was a rounded compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base were its side-ledges; and its borders were of one piece with itself.
36 Il avait fait faire aussi les panneaux des portiques, les clous, les coupes, les plats et les encensoirs d'or, et les panneaux des portes intérieures du temple et du Saint des saints, et les portes d'or de la nef.
And he engraved on the plates of its side-ledges and on its borders, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees: and in the open space of every one were pendant wreaths round about.
37 Tous les travaux du temple du Seigneur que Salomon fit faire étant terminés, il transporta les objets d'or et d'argent consacrés par David son père, et par lui-même, et il les déposa dans le trésor du temple du Seigneur.
After this manner did he make the ten bases: one casting, one measure, one form, was there for all of them.
38 Ensuite, Salomon fit bâtir pour lui-même un palais en treize ans.
Then made he ten lavers of copper; forty baths could each one laver contain; every laver was four cubits: each one laver was upon each one base of the ten bases.
39 Il le bâtit en cèdres du Liban; ce palais était long de cent coudées, large de cinquante, haut de trente; il avait trois rangs de colonnes de cèdre; et les traverses entre les chapiteaux étaient en cèdre.
And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and the sea he set on the right side of the house eastward opposite the south.
40 Il plafonna le palais au-dessus des colonnes; chaque rang de colonnes en comptait quarante-cinq.
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins; so Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord.
41 Et il fit trois chambres par rangée, et elles étaient également espacées.
The two pillars, and the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two net-works, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals which were upon the top of the pillars;
42 Il fit toutes les portes, et les intervalles formant les chambres étaient carrés, et les portes correspondaient aux portes dans les trois rangées.
And the four hundred pomegranates for the two net-works, two rows of pomegranates for each one net-work, to cover the two bowl-shaped, capitals that were upon the front of the pillars;
43 Il fit un vestibule de colonnes, lequel avait cinquante coudées de long et cinquante coudées de large, et se rattachait à un autre vestibule qui lui faisait face; et il y avait, sur la façade des vestibules, des colonnes très grosses.
And the ten bases, and the ten lavers upon the bases;
44 Il fit aussi le vestibule des trônes, où le roi jugeait; c'était la galerie du jugement;
And the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 Et le palais auquel appartenaient ces vestibules et où le roi devait demeurer avait un parvis, par où on allait à ces vestibules, et construit comme eux; il fit encore le palais de la fille du Pharaon, que le roi avait épousée, de même architecture que les vestibules.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; and all these vessels, which Hiram had made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished copper.
46 Tous ces bâtiments étaient en bonnes pierres de taille, sculptées par intervalles extérieurement, depuis le sol jusqu'à la corniche; au dehors il y avait un grand parvis;
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Ses fondations étaient de grandes et belles pierres, longues de dix et de huit coudées,
And Solomon set down all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceedingly many: the weight of the copper was not inquired into.
48 En haut desquelles il y avait de belles pierres aussi grandes que les pierres de taille, et des cèdres.
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: The altar of gold, and the table whereupon the show-bread was, of gold,
49 Et il y avait autour du parvis trois rangs de pierres de taille, et un rang de cèdres sculptés.
And the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the debir, of pure gold, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 Ainsi Salomon acheva tout son palais.
And the bowls, and the knives, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges, for the doors of the inner house, for the holy of holies, for the doors of the house, and for the temple, [were] of gold.
And so was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord: and Solomon brought in the things sanctified by David his father, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [and] he placed [these] in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
