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 so it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year (in the month of Zif, the same, being the second month) of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he began to build the house unto Yahweh.
2 Domus autem, quam aedificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
Now, the house which King Solomon built unto Yahweh, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, —and thirty cubits in height.
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 of the house, was twenty cubits in length, according to the breadth of the house, —ten cubits in breadth, in front of the house.
4 Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
And he made to the house windows, with closed bars.
5 Et aedificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
And he built—by the wall of the house—a gallery, round about, against the walls of the house, round about, both to the temple, and to the shrine, —and he made side chambers 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 haererent muris templi.
The, lowest gallery, was five cubits broad, and, the middle, six cubits broad, and, the third, seven cubits broad, —for he put, ledges, against the house round about, on the outer side, so as not to make fastenings in 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.
Now, the house, when it was in building, with whole quarry-stones, was built, —neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tools of iron, was heard in the house, when it was in building.
8 Ostium lateris medii in pariete erat domus dextrae: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium coenaculum, et a medio in tertium.
The entrance of the lowest story, was on the right side of the house, —and, by winding stairs, went they up unto the middle [story], and, out of the middle, into, the third.
9 Et aedificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
So he built the house, and finished it, —and ceiled the house with planks and beams of cedar;
10 Et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
and built the gallery against all the house, five cubits in height, —and so fastened the house, with timber of cedar.
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto Solomon, saying:
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.
Concerning this house, which thou art building, If thou wilt walk in my statutes, and, my regulations, wilt practise, and so observe all my commandments, by walking in them, Then will I establish 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 will make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel, —and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Igitur aedificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
Thus Solomon built the house, and finished it;
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 built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house, unto the cross-beams of the ceiling, he overlaid it with wood, on the inside, —and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards 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 twenty cubits, at the hinder part of the house, with boards of cedar, from the floor as far as the cross-beams, —and he built it within, for a shrine, even for the holy of holies;
17 Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
but, forty cubits, was the house itself, —the same, was the temple, before the oracle.
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.
And, the cedar for the house within, was carved with colocynths, and with festoons of flowers, —the whole, was cedar, there was no stone to be seen.
19 Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini.
And, the shrine in the midst of the house within, made he ready, —for placing there, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
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, the interior of the shrine, was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it, with pure gold, —and overlaid the altar with cedar.
21 Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
Thus then did Solomon overlay the house within, with pure gold, —and he drew chains of gold across the front of the shrine, and overlaid it with gold;
22 Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
yea, all the house, overlaid he with gold, until he had made all the house into one whole, —even all the altar that was by the shrine, overlaid he with gold.
23 Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
And he made, within the shrine, two cherubim of wild olive wood, —ten cubits in height;
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, five cubits, was the one wing of the cherub, and, five cubits, the second wing of the cherub, —ten cubits, from the one end of his wings unto the other end of his wings.
25 Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
Ten cubits, also was the second cherub, —of one size and one shape, were the two cherubim.
26 id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
The height of the one cherub, was ten cubits, —and, so, of 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 he placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the cherubim stretched forth their wings, —so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub, was touching the other wall, —and, their wings in the midst of the house, were touching, wing to wing.
28 Texit quoque cherubim auro.
And he overlaid the cherubim 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.
And, all the walls of the house round about, carved he with figures of cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, —within and without.
30 Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
Even the floor of the house, overlaid he with gold, —within and without.
31 Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
And, the entrance of the shrine, made he with doors, of wild olive-wood, the pillars and posts being 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.
The two doors, also were of olive-wood, and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, —yea he spread out, over the cherubim and over the palm-trees, the gold.
33 Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos:
So, also, made he for the entrance of the temple, with posts of wild olive-wood, —a fourth part.
34 et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
And, the two doors, were of fir wood, —the two leaves of the one door, were folding, and, the two leaves of the other door, were folding.
35 Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et caelaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
And he carved cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, smoothed out on the carved work.
36 Et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
And he built the inner court, with three rows of hewn stone, —and a row of beams of cedar.
37 Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
In the fourth year, was laid the foundation of the house of Yahweh, —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: aedificavitque eam annis septem.
and, in the eleventh year, in the month Bul—the same, is the eighth month, was the house finished, as to all the particulars thereof, and as to all the appointments thereof, —so then he built it in seven years.
