I Regum 6
1 Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israel de Terra Aegypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio, (ipse est mensis secundus) regni Salomonis super Israel, aedificari coepit domus Domino.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2 Domus autem, quam aedificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
And the house which the king built to the Lord [was] forty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height five and twenty cubits.
3 Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
And the porch in front of the temple—twenty cubits [was] its length according to the breadth of the house in front of the house: and he built the house, and finished it.
4 Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
And he made to the house secret windows inclining inward.
5 Et aedificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
And against the wall of the house he set chambers round about the temple and the ark.
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 haererent muris templi.
The under side [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [part] six, and the third [was] seven cubits broad; for he formed an interval to the house round about without the house, that they might not touch the walls of the house.
7 Domus autem cum aedificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis aedificata est: et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum aedificaretur.
And the house was built in the construction of it with rough hewn stones: and there was not heard in the house in the building of it hammer or axe, or any iron tool.
8 Ostium lateris medii in pariete erat domus dextrae: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium coenaculum, et a medio in tertium.
And the porch of the under side [was] below the right wing of the house, and [there was] a winding ascent into the middle [chamber], and from the middle to the third story.
9 Et aedificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
So he built the house and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house with cedars.
10 Et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
And he made the partitions through all the house, each five cubits high, and enclosed each partition with cedar boards.
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
12 Domus haec, quam aedificas, si ambulaveris in praeceptis meis, et iudicia mea feceris, et custodieris omnia mandata mea, gradiens per ea: firmabo sermonem meum tibi, quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum.
13 Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, et non derelinquam populum meum Israel.
14 Igitur aedificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
15 Et aedificavit 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 framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.
16 Aedificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora: et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in sanctum Sanctorum.
And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place.
17 Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
And the temple was forty cubits [in extent],
18 Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas, et iuncturas suas fabrefactas et caelaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
19 Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini.
in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, [in order] to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
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.
The length [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth [was] twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.
21 Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished [gilding] the whole house.
22 Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
23 Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.
24 Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera: id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alae unius usque ad alae alterius summitatem.
And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.
25 Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure.
26 id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
And the height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] with 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: alae autem alterae in media parte templi se invicem contingebant.
And both the cherubs [were] in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.
28 Texit quoque cherubim auro.
And he covered the cherubs with gold.
29 Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis caelaturis et torno: et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes.
He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and [he sculptured] palm trees within and without [the house].
30 Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
And he covered the floor of the house within and without with gold.
31 Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, [there were] porches in a four-fold way.
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.
33 Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
34 et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
In both the doors [were] planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned [on hinges],
35 Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et caelaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
being carved with cherubs, and [there were] palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it [was] overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.
36 Et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about, and he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.
37 Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
38 et in anno undecimo, mense Bul (ipse est mensis octavus) perfecta est domus in omni opere suo, et in universis utensilibus suis: aedificavitque eam annis septem.
