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 cometh 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 Zif, it [is] the second month — of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he buildeth the house for Jehovah.
2 Domus autem, quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
As to the house that king Solomon hath built for Jehovah, sixty cubits [is] its length, and twenty its breadth, and thirty cubits its height.
3 Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
As to the porch on the front of the temple of the house, twenty cubits [is] its length on the front of the breadth of the house; ten by the cubit [is] its breadth on the front of the house;
4 Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
and he maketh for the house windows of narrow lights.
5 Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
And he buildeth against the wall of the house a couch round about, [even] the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the oracle, and maketh sides round about.
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, five by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the middle, six by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the third, seven by the cubit [is] its breadth, for withdrawings he hath put to the house round about, without — 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, of perfect stone brought [thither] hath been built, 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 unto the third.
9 Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
And he buildeth the house, and completeth it, and covereth 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 buildeth the couch against all the house, five cubits [is] its height, and it taketh hold of the house by cedar-wood.
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah is unto 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 thou art building — if thou dost walk in My statutes, and My judgments dost do, yea, hast done all My commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father,
13 Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
and have tabernacled 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 buildeth the house and completeth 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 buildeth the walls of the house within with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling; he hath overlaid with wood the inside, and covereth 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 buildeth the twenty cubits on the sides of the house with ribs of cedar, from the floor unto the walls; and he buildeth for it within, for the oracle, for the holy of holies.
17 Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
And forty by the cubit was the house, it [is] the temple before [it].
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 the oracle in the midst of the house within he hath prepared, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
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 twenty cubits [is] its height; and he overlayeth it with gold refined, and overlayeth the altar with cedar.
21 Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
And Solomon overlayeth the house within with gold refined, and causeth [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlayeth it with gold.
22 Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
And the whole of the house he hath overlaid with gold, till the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle hath, he hath overlaid with gold.
23 Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits [is] their height;
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 five cubits [is] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the ends of its wings even unto the ends of its wings;
25 Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
and ten by the cubit [is] the second cherub, one measure and one form [are] to the two cherubs,
26 id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
the height of the one 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 setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings [are] unto the midst of the house, coming wing against wing;
28 Texit quoque cherubim auro.
and he overlayeth the cherubs 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 all the walls of the house round about he hath carved with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, within and without.
30 Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without;
31 Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth.
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 hath carved upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees.
33 Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth.
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 one 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 hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work.
36 Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
And he buildeth 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 hath the house of Jehovah been founded, in the month Zif,
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 Bul — [that is] the eighth month — hath the house been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he buildeth it seven years.
