1 Re 7
1 Salomone costruì anche la propria reggia e la portò a compimento in tredici anni.
And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house, and he finished all his house.
2 Costruì il palazzo detto Foresta del Libano, lungo cento cubiti, largo cinquanta e alto trenta su tre ordini di colonne di cedro e con capitelli di cedro sulle colonne.
For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon. The length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 Un soffitto di cedro si stendeva sopra le stanze che poggiavano sulle colonne; queste erano quarantacinque, quindici per fila.
And it was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were upon the pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 Vi erano tre serie di finestre, che si corrispondevano faccia a faccia tre volte.
And there were beams in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.
5 Le porte e i loro stipiti erano a forma quadrangolare; le finestre erano le une di fronte alle altre per tre volte.
And all the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three ranks.
6 Costruì il vestibolo delle colonne, lungo cinquanta cubiti e largo trenta. Sul davanti c'era un vestibolo e altre colonne e davanti ad esse una tettoia.
And he made the porch of pillars. The length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it thirty cubits, and a porch in front of them, and pillars and a threshold in front of them.
7 Fece anche il vestibolo del trono, ove rendeva giustizia, cioè il vestibolo della giustizia; era di cedro dal pavimento alle travi.
And 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 floor.
8 La reggia, dove abitava, fu costruita con il medesimo disegno, in un secondo cortile, all'interno rispetto al vestibolo; nello stile di tale vestibolo fece anche una casa per la figlia del faraone, che Salomone aveva sposata.
And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch was of the like work. He also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like this porch.
9 Tutte queste costruzioni erano di pietre pregiate, squadrate secondo misura, segate con la sega sul lato interno ed esterno, dalle fondamenta ai cornicioni e al di fuori fino al cortile maggiore.
All these were of costly stones, even of hewn 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 Le fondamenta erano di pietre pregiate, pietre grandi dieci o otto cubiti.
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 Al di sopra erano pietre pregiate, squadrate a misura, e legno di cedro.
And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.
12 Il cortile maggiore comprendeva tre ordini di pietre squadrate e un ordine di tavole di cedro; era simile al cortile interno del tempio e al vestibolo del tempio.
And the great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.
13 Salomone fece venire da Tiro Chiram,
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 figlio di una vedova della tribù di Nèftali; suo padre era di Tiro e lavorava il bronzo. Era dotato di grande capacità tecnica, di intelligenza e di talento, esperto in ogni genere di lavoro in bronzo. Egli si recò dal re ed eseguì le sue commissioni.
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a workman in brass. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 Fuse due colonne di bronzo, ognuna alta diciotto cubiti e dodici di circonferenza.
For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece. And a line of twelve cubits encompassed each of them around.
16 Fece due capitelli, fusi in bronzo, da collocarsi sulla cima delle colonne; l'uno e l'altro erano alti cinque cubiti.
And he made two capitals of molten brass to set upon the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17 Fece due reticolati per coprire i capitelli che erano sopra le colonne, un reticolato per un capitello e un reticolato per l'altro capitello.
There were 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 Fece melagrane su due file intorno al reticolato per coprire i capitelli sopra le colonne; allo stesso modo fece per il secondo capitello.
So he made the pillars. And there were two rows round about upon the one network to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars. And so he did for the other capital.
19 I capitelli sopra le colonne erano a forma di giglio.
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.
20 C'erano capitelli sopra le colonne, applicati alla sporgenza che era al di là del reticolato; essi contenevano duecento melagrane in fila intorno a ogni capitello.
And there were capitals also above upon the two pillars, close by the protuberance which was beside the network. And the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other capital.
21 Eresse le colonne nel vestibolo del tempio. Eresse la colonna di destra, che chiamò Iachin ed eresse la colonna di sinistra, che chiamò Boaz.
And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar, and called the name of it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar, and called the name of it Boaz.
22 Così fu terminato il lavoro delle colonne.
And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 Fece un bacino di metallo fuso di dieci cubiti da un orlo all'altro, rotondo; la sua altezza era di cinque cubiti e la sua circonferenza di trenta cubiti.
And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits. And a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.
24 Intorno, sotto l'orlo, c'erano cucurbite, dieci per ogni cubito; le cucurbite erano disposte in due file ed erano state colate insieme con il bacino.
And under the brim of it round about there were knops which encompassed it, for ten cubits, encompassing the sea round about. The knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
25 Questo poggiava su dodici buoi; tre guardavano verso settentrione, tre verso occidente, tre verso meridione e tre verso oriente. Il bacino poggiava su di essi e le loro parti posteriori erano rivolte verso l'interno.
It stood 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 set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 Il suo spessore era di un palmo; il suo orlo fatto come l'orlo di un calice era a forma di giglio. Conteneva duemila bat.
And it was a handbreadth thick. And the brim of it was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.
27 Fece dieci basi di bronzo, ciascuna lunga quattro cubiti, larga quattro e alta tre cubiti.
And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it.
28 Ecco come erano fatte le basi: si componevano di doghe e di traverse incrociate con le doghe.
And the work of the bases was on this manner: They had panels, and there were panels between the ledges.
29 Sulle doghe che erano fra le traverse c'erano leoni, buoi e cherubini; le stesse figure erano sulle traverse. Sopra e sotto i leoni e i buoi c'erano ghirlande a forma di festoni.
And on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim. And upon the ledges there was a pedestal above. And beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
30 Ciascuna base aveva quattro ruote di bronzo con gli assi di bronzo; i suoi quattro piedi avevano sporgenze, sotto il bacino; le sporgenze erano di metallo fuso e situate al di là di ogni ghirlanda.
And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass. And the four corners of it had supports. Beneath the laver were the molten supports with wreaths at the side of each.
31 L'estremità della base, dalla parte della sporgenza e sopra, era di un cubito; tale estremità era rotonda, fatta in forma di sostegno, alta un cubito e mezzo; anche su tale estremità c'erano sculture. Le traverse erano di forma quadrata, non rotonda.
And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit. And the mouth of it was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half. And also upon the mouth of it were engravings. And their panels were foursquare, not round.
32 Le quattro ruote erano sotto le traverse; gli assi delle ruote erano fissati alla base; l'altezza di ogni ruota era di un cubito e mezzo.
And the four wheels were underneath the panels. And the axletrees of the wheels were in the base. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 Le ruote erano lavorate come le ruote di un carro; i loro assi, i loro quarti, i loro raggi e i loro mozzi erano tutti di metallo fuso.
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
34 Quattro sporgenze erano sui quattro angoli di ciascuna base; la sporgenza e la base erano di un sol pezzo.
And there were four supports at the four corners of each base. The supports of it were of the base itself.
35 Alla cima della base c'era un sostegno rotondo, alto mezzo cubito; alla cima della base c'erano i manici; le traverse e la base erano di un sol pezzo.
And in the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high. And on the top of the base the ledges of it and the panels of it were of the same.
36 Sulle sue pareti scolpì cherubini, leoni e palme, secondo gli spazi liberi, e ghirlande intorno.
And on the plates of the ledges of it, and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
37 Fuse le dieci basi in un medesimo stampo, identiche nella misura e nella forma.
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
38 Fuse poi anche dieci bacini di bronzo; ognuno conteneva quaranta bat ed era di quattro cubiti; un bacino per ogni base, per le dieci basi.
And he made ten basins of brass. One basin contained forty baths. And every basin was four cubits. And upon every one of the ten bases one basin.
39 Pose cinque delle basi sul lato destro del tempio e cinque su quello sinistro. Pose la vasca sul lato destro del tempio, a sud-est.
And 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 Chiram preparò inoltre caldaie, palette e vassoi. E terminò tutte le commissioni del re Salomone per il tempio del Signore,
And Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:
41 cioè le due colonne, i globi dei capitelli che erano sopra le colonne, i due reticolati per coprire i due globi dei capitelli che erano sopra le colonne,
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 le quattrocento melagrane sui due reticolati, due file di melagrane per ciascun reticolato,
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 upon the pillars,
43 le dieci basi e i dieci bacini sulle basi,
and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases,
44 il bacino e i dodici buoi sotto il bacino,
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea,
45 le caldaie, le palette, i vassoi e tutti quei vasi che Chiram aveva fatti al re Salomone per il tempio del Signore; tutto era di bronzo rifinito.
and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah were of burnished brass.
46 Il re li fece fondere nella valle del Giordano, in suolo argilloso, fra Succot e Zartan.
The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Salomone installò tutti gli arredi in quantità molto grande: non si poteva calcolare il peso del bronzo.
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were very many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.
48 Salomone fece anche tutti gli arredi del tempio del Signore, l'altare d'oro, le tavole d'oro su cui si ponevano i pani dell'offerta,
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold,
49 i cinque candelabri a destra e i cinque a sinistra di fronte alla cella d'oro purissimo, i fiori, le lampade, gli smoccolatoi d'oro,
and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold, and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold,
50 le coppe, i coltelli, gli aspersori, i mortai e i bracieri d'oro purissimo, i cardini per le porte del tempio interno, cioè per il Santo dei santi, e i battenti d'oro per la navata.
and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, 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, namely, of the temple, of gold.
51 Fu così terminato tutto il lavoro che il re Salomone aveva fatto per il tempio. Salomone presentò le offerte fatte da Davide suo padre, cioè l'argento, l'oro e i vari oggetti; le depositò nei tesori del tempio.
Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of Jehovah was finished. And 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 Jehovah.
