I Regum 7
1 Domum autem suam ædificavit Salomon tredecim annis, et ad perfectum usque perduxit.
But his own house was Solomon building thirteen years, and then he finished all his house.
2 Ædificavit quoque domum saltus Libani, centum cubitorum longitudinis, et quinquaginta cubitorum latitudinis, et triginta cubitorum altitudinis: et quattuor deambulacra inter columnas cedrinas: ligna quippe cedrina exciderat in columnas.
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 Et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram, quæ quadraginta quinque columnis sustentabatur. Unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim
And it was covered with cedar above over the beams, that lay on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 contra se invicem positas,
And there were window-spaces in three rows, and windows were opposite each other in three ranks.
5 et e regione se respicientes, æquali spatio inter columnas, et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis æqualia.
And all the entrances and door-posts formed a square in shape: and windows were opposite windows in three ranks.
6 Et porticum columnarum fecit quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinis, et triginta cubitorum latitudinis: et alteram porticum in facie maioris porticus: et columnas, et epistylia super columnas.
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 Porticum quoque solii, in qua tribunal est, fecit: et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad summitatem.
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 domuncula, in qua sedebatur ad iudicandum, erat in media porticu, simili opere. Domum quoque fecit filiæ Pharaonis (quam uxorem duxerat Salomon) tali opere, quali et hanc porticum.
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 Omnia lapidibus pretiosis, qui ad normam quandam atque mensuram tam intrinsecus quam extrinsecus serrati erant: a fundamento usque ad summitatem parietum, et extrinsecus usque ad atrium maius.
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 Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis decem sive octo cubitorum.
And the foundation was of heavy stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 Et desuper lapides pretiosi æqualis mensuræ secti erant, similiterque de cedro.
And above were heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, and cedars.
12 Et atrium maius rotundum trium ordinum de lapidibus sectis, et unius ordinis de dolata cedro: necnon et in atrio domus Domini interiori, et in porticu domus.
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 Misit quoque rex Salomon, et tulit Hiram de Tyro,
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 filium mulieris viduæ de tribu Nephthali, patre Tyrio, artificem ærarium, et plenum sapientia, et intelligentia, et doctrina ad faciendum omne opus ex ære. Qui cum venisset ad regem Salomonem, fecit omne opus eius.
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 Et finxit duas columnas æreas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam: et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque.
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 Duo quoque capitella fecit, quæ ponerentur super capita columnarum, fusilia ex ære: quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum unum, et quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum alterum:
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 quasi in modum retis, et catenarum sibi invicem miro opere contextarum. Utrumque capitellum columnarum fusile erat: septena versuum retiacula in capitello uno, et septena retiacula in capitello altero.
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 Et perfecit columnas, et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum, ut tegerent capitella, quæ erant super summitatem, malogranatorum: eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo.
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 Capitella autem, quæ erant super capita columnarum, quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu quattuor cubitorum.
And the capitals, that were upon the top of the pillars, furnished with lily-work, [as] those in the porch, were four cubits.
20 Et rursum alia capitella in summitate columnarum desuper iuxta mensuram columnæ contra retiacula: malogranatorum autem ducenti ordines erant in circuitu capitelli secundi.
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 Et statuit duas columnas in porticu templi: cumque statuisset columnam dexteram, vocavit eam nomine Iachin: similiter erexit columnam secundam: et vocavit nomen eius Booz.
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 Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit: perfectumque est opus columnarum.
And upon the top of the pillars there was lily-work: and so was finished the work of the pillars.
23 Fecit quoque mare fusile decem cubitorum a labio usque ad labium, rotundum in circuitu: quinque cubitorum altitudo eius, et resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud per circuitum.
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 sculptura subter labium circuibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare: duo ordines sculpturarum striatarum erant fusiles.
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 Et stabat super duodecim boves, e quibus tres respiciebant ad Aquilonem, et tres ad Occidentem, et tres ad Meridiem, et tres ad Orientem, et mare super eos desuper erat: quorum posteriora universa intrinsecus latitabant.
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 Grossitudo autem luteris, trium unciarum erat: labiumque eius, quasi labium calicis, et folium repandi lilii: duo millia batos capiebat.
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 Et fecit decem bases æneas, quattuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas, et quattuor cubitorum latitudinis, et trium cubitorum altitudinis.
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 Et ipsum opus basium, interrasile erat: et sculpturæ inter iuncturas.
And this was the workmanship of the bases: They had borders, and the borders were between the corner ledges;
29 Et inter coronulas et plectas, leones et boves et cherubim: et in iuncturis similiter desuper: et subter leones, et boves quasi lora ex ære dependentia.
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 Et quattuor rotæ per bases singulas, et axes ærei: et per quattuor partes quasi humeruli subter luterem fusiles, contra se invicem respectantes.
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 Os quoque luteris intrinsecus erat in capitis summitate: et quod forinsecus apparebat, unius cubiti erat totum rotundum, pariterque habebat unum cubitum et dimidium: in angulis autem columnarum variæ cælaturæ erant: et media intercolumnia, quadrata non rotunda.
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 Quattuor quoque rotæ, quæ per quattuor angulos basis erant, cohærebant sibi subter basim: una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis.
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 Tales autem rotæ erant quales solent in curru fieri: et axes earum, et radii, et canthi, et modioli, omnia fusilia.
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 Nam et humeruli illi quattuor per singulos angulos basis unius, ex ipsa basi fusiles et coniuncti erant.
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of each one base; the undersetters were of one piece with the base itself.
35 In summitate autem basis erat quædam rotunditas dimidii cubiti, ita fabrefacta, ut luter desuper posset imponi, habens cælaturas suas, variasque sculpturas ex semetipsa.
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 Sculpsit quoque in tabulatis illis, quæ erant ex ære, et in angulis, cherubim, et leones, et palmas, quasi in similitudinem hominis stantis, ut non cælata, sed apposita per circuitum viderentur.
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 In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura, sculpturaque consimili.
After this manner did he make the ten bases: one casting, one measure, one form, was there for all of them.
38 Fecit quoque decem luteres æneos: quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus, eratque quattuor cubitorum: singulos quoque luteres per singulas, id est, decem bases, posuit.
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 Et constituit decem bases, quinque ad dexteram partem templi, et quinque ad sinistram: mare autem posuit ad dexteram partem templi contra Orientem ad Meridiem.
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 Fecit ergo Hiram lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, et perfecit omne opus regis Salomonis in templo Domini.
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 Columnas duas, et funiculos capitellorum super capitella columnarum duos: et retiacula duo, ut operirent duos funiculos, qui erant super capita columnarum.
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 Et malogranata quadringenta in duobus retiaculis: duos versus malogranatorum in retiaculis singulis, ad operiendos funiculos capitellorum, qui erant super capita columnarum.
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 Et bases decem, et luteres decem super bases.
And the ten bases, and the ten lavers upon the bases;
44 Et mare unum, et boves duodecim subter mare.
And the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 Et lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas. Omnia vasa, quæ fecit Hiram regi Salomoni in domo Domini, de auricalco erant.
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 In campestri regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra, inter Sochoth et Sarthan.
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Et posuit Salomon omnia vasa: propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus æris.
And Solomon set down all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceedingly many: the weight of the copper was not inquired into.
48 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini: altare aureum, et mensam, super quam ponerentur panes propositionis, auream:
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 candelabra aurea, quinque ad dexteram, et quinque ad sinistram contra oraculum ex auro puro: et quasi lilii flores, et lucernas desuper aureas: et forcipes aureos,
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 et hydrias, et fuscinulas, et phialas, et mortariola, et thuribula, de auro purissimo: et cardines ostiorum domus interioris Sancti Sanctorum, et ostiorum domus templi, ex auro erant.
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.
51 Et perfecit omne opus quod faciebat Salomon in domo Domini, et intulit quæ sanctificaverat David pater suus, argentum et aurum, et vasa, reposuitque in thesauris domus Domini.
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.
