1 Rois 7
1 Le roi Salomon envoya demander et obtint Hiram de Tyr,
Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and 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.
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.
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.
It was covered with cedar above atop the beams which were on the pillars, and the pillars numbered forty-five; fifteen in a row.
4 Il jeta en fonte, pour les colonnes, deux chapiteaux, ayant chacun cinq coudées de haut.
There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
5 Il fabriqua deux filets d'airain pour couvrir les deux chapiteaux des colonnes.
All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window 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.
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.
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.
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.
8 Et il plaça, dans les chapiteaux des colonnes, dans le sens de la façade du vestibule, des lis d'airain de quatre coudées.
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.
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 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.
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.
The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of seventeen feet and three inches, and stones of thirteen feet and nine inches.
11 Au-dessous de ses bords, il fit des étais tout alentour, dix par coudée.
Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
12 Ses bords s'évasaient comme une coupe en forme de fleur de lis; et elle avait une palme d'épaisseur.
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.
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.
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 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.
15 Ces bassins étaient composés de pièces de rapport, et les pièces rapportées étaient entre les parties saillantes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
18 Il y avait des crampons dans les bassins et dans les roues; la hauteur d'une roue était d'une demi-coudée.
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.
19 Et les roues étaient faites comme les roues d'un char; leurs crampons, leurs bandes, leurs accessoires, étaient jetés en fonte.
The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, six feet and eleven inches.
20 Les quatre supports, aux quatre coins de chaque bassin, faisaient saillie sur lui, et les maintenaient.
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.
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.
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.
22 Toute sa surface était ornée de chérubins, de lions et de palmes; chacune de ces sculptures faisant saillie sur le fond tout alentour.
On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 Et les dix bassins étaient faits de même, et avaient les mêmes dimensions.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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;
The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
29 Les dix bassins et les dix cuvettes posées dans les bassins,
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.
30 La mer et les douze bœufs sous la mer;
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.
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.
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.
32 On ne pesa point l'airain que l'on y employa; la quantité en fut telle qu'on ne put la mesurer.
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.
33 On jeta l'airain en fonte auprès du Jourdain dans une terre argileuse, entre Socchoth et Sira.
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.
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;
There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
38 Ensuite, Salomon fit bâtir pour lui-même un palais en treize ans.
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.
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.
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.
40 Il plafonna le palais au-dessus des colonnes; chaque rang de colonnes en comptait quarante-cinq.
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:
41 Et il fit trois chambres par rangée, et elles étaient également espacées.
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;
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 networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on 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 basins on the bases;
44 Il fit aussi le vestibule des trônes, où le roi jugeait; c'était la galerie du jugement;
and 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: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of YHWH, were of burnished bronze.
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;
The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Ses fondations étaient de grandes et belles pierres, longues de dix et de huit coudées,
Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
48 En haut desquelles il y avait de belles pierres aussi grandes que les pierres de taille, et des cèdres.
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;
49 Et il y avait autour du parvis trois rangs de pierres de taille, et un rang de cèdres sculptés.
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;
50 Ainsi Salomon acheva tout son palais.
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.
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.
