I Regum 6
1 Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israel de Terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio, (ipse est mensis secundus) regni Salomonis super Israel, ædificari cœpit domus Domino.
And it comes to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year—in the month of Ziv, it [is] the second month—of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he builds the house for YHWH.
2 Domus autem, quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
As for the house that King Solomon has built for YHWH, its length [is] sixty cubits, and its breadth twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
3 Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
As for the porch on the front of the temple of the house, its length [is] twenty cubits on the front of the breadth of the house; its breadth [is] ten by the cubit on the front of the house;
4 Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
and he makes frames of narrowing windows for the house.
5 Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
And he builds a couch against the wall of the house all around, [even] the walls of the house all around, of the temple and of the oracle, and makes sides all around.
6 Tabulatum, quod subter erat, quinque cubitos habebat latitudinis, et medium tabulatum sex cubitorum latitudinis, et tertium tabulatum septem habens cubitos latitudinis. Trabes autem posuit in domo per circuitum forinsecus, ut non hærerent muris templi.
The lowest couch, its breadth [is] five by the cubit; and the middle, its breadth [is] six by the cubit; and the third, its breadth [is] seven by the cubit, for he has put withdrawings of the house all around outside—not to lay hold on the walls of the house.
7 Domus autem cum ædificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis ædificata est: et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum ædificaretur.
And the house, in its being built, has been built of perfect stone [that was] brought; and hammer and the axe—any instrument of iron—was not heard in the house in its being built.
8 Ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dextræ: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium cœnaculum, et a medio in tertium.
The opening of the middle side [is] at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one to the third.
9 Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
And he builds the house, and completes it, and covers the house [with] beams and rows of cedars.
10 Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
And he builds the couch against all the house, its breadth [is] five cubits, and it takes hold of the house by cedar-wood.
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
And the word of YHWH is to Solomon, saying,
12 Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis meis, et iudicia mea feceris, et custodieris omnia mandata mea, gradiens per ea: firmabo sermonem meum tibi, quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum.
“This house that you are building—if you walk in My statutes, and do My judgments, indeed, have done all My commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with you, which I spoke to your father David,
13 Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
and have dwelt in the midst of the sons of Israel, and do not forsake My people Israel.”
14 Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
And Solomon builds the house and completes it;
15 Et ædificavit parietes domus intrinsecus, tabulatis cedrinis, a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum, et usque ad laquearia, operuit lignis cedrinis intrinsecus: et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis.
and he builds the walls of the house within with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling; he has overlaid the inside with wood, and covers the floor of the house with ribs of fir.
16 Ædificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora: et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in Sanctum Sanctorum.
And he builds the twenty cubits on the sides of the house with ribs of cedar, from the floor to the walls; and he builds for it within, for the oracle, for the Holy of Holies.
17 Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
And [this area of] the house was forty by the cubit; it [is the area of] the temple before My face.
18 Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas, et iuncturas suas fabrefactas et cælaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
And the cedar for the house within [is] carvings of knobs and openings of flowers; the whole [is] cedar, there is not a stone seen.
19 Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini.
And he has prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to put the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH there.
20 Porro oraculum habebat viginti cubitos longitudinis, et viginti cubitos latitudinis, et viginti cubitos altitudinis: et operuit illud atque vestivit auro purissimo. Sed et altare vestivit cedro.
And before the oracle [is] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height [is] twenty cubits; and he overlays it with gold refined, and overlays the altar with cedar.
21 Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
And Solomon overlays the house within with gold refined, and causes [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlays it with gold.
22 Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
And he has overlaid the whole of the house with gold, until the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle has, he has overlaid with gold.
23 Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
And he makes two cherubim of the oil-tree within the oracle; their height [is] ten cubits;
24 Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera: id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alæ unius usque ad alæ alterius summitatem.
and the first wing of the cherub [is] five cubits, and the second wing of the cherub five cubits—ten cubits from the ends of his wings even to the ends of his wings;
25 Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
and the second cherub [is] ten by the cubit; one measure and one form [are] of the two cherubim,
26 id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
the height of the first cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so [is] the second cherub;
27 Posuitque cherubim in medio templi interioris: extendebant autem alas suas cherubim, et tangebat ala una parietem, et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum: alæ autem alteræ in media parte templi se invicem contingebant.
and he sets the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim, and a wing of the first comes against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings [stretched] into the midst of the house, coming wing against wing;
28 Texit quoque cherubim auro.
and he overlays the cherubim with gold,
29 Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis cælaturis et torno: et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes.
and he has carved all around the walls of the house with engravings of carvings, cherubim, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, inside and outside.
30 Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
And he has overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside;
31 Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
as for the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel [and] doorposts [are] a fifth [of the wall].
32 Et duo ostia de lignis olivarum: et sculpsit in eis picturam cherubim, et palmarum species, et anaglypha valde prominentia: et texit ea auro: et operuit tam cherubim quam palmas, et cetera, auro.
And the two doors [are] of the oil-tree, and he has carved on them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causes the gold to go down on the cherubim and on the palm-trees.
33 Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
And so he has made for the opening of the temple, doorposts of the oil-tree, from the fourth [of the wall].
34 et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
And the two doors [are] of fir-tree, the two sides of the first door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving.
35 Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
And he has carved cherubim, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid the carved work with straightened gold.
36 Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
And he builds the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.
37 Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
In the fourth year the house of YHWH has been founded, in the month of Ziv,
38 et in anno undecimo, mense Bul (ipse est mensis octavus) perfecta est domus in omni opere suo, et in universis utensilibus suis: ædificavitque eam annis septem.
and in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul (the eighth month), the house has been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he builds it [in] seven years.
