I Regum 7
1 Domum autem suam ædificavit Salomon tredecim annis, et ad perfectum usque perduxit.
And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and 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.
For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 Et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram, quæ quadragintaquinque columnis sustentabatur. Unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim
And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.
4 contra se invicem positas,
And there were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
5 et e regione se respicientes, æquali spatio inter columnas, et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis æqualia.
And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window 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 the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
7 Porticum quoque solii, in qua tribunal est, fecit: et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad summitatem.
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 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 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 to 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 costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.
10 Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis decem sive octo cubitorum.
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great 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 costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.
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 had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and 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 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 Et finxit duas columnas æreas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam: et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque.
For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.
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 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 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.
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 Et perfecit columnas, et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum, ut tegerent capitella, quæ erant super summitatem, malogranatorum: eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo.
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 did he 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 in the porch were of lily-work, 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 there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other 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 at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
22 Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit: perfectumque est opus columnarum.
And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
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 of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
24 Et sculptura subter labium circuibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare: duo ordines sculpturarum striatarum erant fusiles.
And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast 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 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 Grossitudo autem luteris, trium unciarum erat: labiumque eius, quasi labium calicis, et folium repandi lilii: duo millia batos capiebat.
And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held 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 the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
28 Et ipsum opus basium, interrasile erat: et sculpturæ inter iuncturas.
And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the 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 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 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 brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
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 the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.
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 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 Tales autem rotæ erant quales solent in curru fieri: et axes earum, et radii, et canthi, et modioli, omnia fusilia.
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 Nam et humeruli illi quattuor per singulos angulos basis unius, ex ipsa basi fusiles et coniuncti erant.
And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of 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 in the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same.
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 on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
37 In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura, sculpturaque consimili.
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
38 Fecit quoque decem luteres æneos: quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus, eratque quattuor cubitorum: singulos quoque luteres per singulas, id est, decem bases, posuit.
And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
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 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 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 wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:
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 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 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 networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;
43 Et bases decem, et luteres decem super bases.
and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on 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: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of burnished brass.
46 In campestri regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra, inter Sochoth et Sarthan.
In the plain of the 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 left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.
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 were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread 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 oracle, of pure gold; and 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 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, [to wit], of the temple, 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.
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, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.
