I Regum 7

1 Domum autem suam aedificavit Salomon tredecim annis, et ad perfectum usque perduxit.

Bvt Salomon was building his owne house thirteene yeeres, and finished all his house.

2 Aedificavit 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 an house called the forest of Lebanon, an hundreth cubites long, and fiftie cubites broad, and thirtie cubites hie, vpon foure rowes of cedar pillars, and cedar beames were layed vpon the pillars.

3 Et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram, quae quadragintaquinque columnis sustentabatur. Unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim

And it was couered aboue with cedar vpon the beames, that lay on the fourtie and fiue pillars, fifteene in a rowe.

4 contra se invicem positas,

And the windowes were in three rowes, and windowe was against windowe in three rankes.

5 et e regione se respicientes, aequali spatio inter columnas, et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis aequalia.

And all the doores, and the side postes with the windowes were foure square, and windowe was ouer against windowe in three rankes.

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 porche of pillars fiftie cubites long, and thirtie cubites broade, and the porch was before them, euen before them were thirtie pillars.

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 iudged, euen a porch of iudgement, and it was sieled with cedar from pauement to pauement.

8 Et domuncula, in qua sedebatur ad iudicandum, erat in media porticu, simili opere. Domum quoque fecit filiae Pharaonis (quam uxorem duxerat Salomon) tali opere, quali et hanc porticum.

And in his house, where he dwelt, was an other hall more inwarde then the porche which was of the same worke. Also Salomon made an house for Pharaohs daughter (whom he had taken to wife) like vnto this porche.

9 Omnia lapidibus pretiosis, qui ad normam quandam atque mensuram tam intrinsecus quam extrinsecus serrati erant: a fundamento usque ad summitatem parietum, et intrinsecus usque ad atrium maius.

All these were of costly stones, hewed by measure, and sawed with sawes within and without, from the foundation vnto the stones of an hand breadth, and on the outside to the great court.

10 Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis decem sive octo cubitorum.

And the foundation was of costly stones, and great stones, euen of stones of ten cubites, and stones of eight cubites.

11 Et desuper lapides pretiosi aequalis mensurae secti erant, similiterque de cedro.

Aboue also were costly stones, squared by rule, and boardes of cedar.

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 with three rowes of hewed stones, and a rowe of cedar beames: so was it to ye inner court of the house of the Lord, and to the porche of the house.

13 Misit quoque rex Salomon, et tulit Hiram de Tyro,

Then King Salomon sent, and set one Hiram out of Tyrus.

14 filium mulieris viduae de tribu Nephthali, patre Tyrio, artificem aerarium, et plenum sapientia, et intelligentia, et doctrina ad faciendum omne opus ex aere. Qui cum venisset ad regem Salomonem, fecit omne opus eius.

He was a widowes sonne of the tribe of Naphtali, his father being a man of Tyrus, and wrought in brasse: he was full of wisedome, and vnderstanding, and knowledge to worke all maner of worke in brasse: who came to King Salomon, and wrought all his worke.

15 Et finxit duas columnas aereas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam: et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque.

For he cast two pillars of brasse: ye height of a pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse either of ye pillars.

16 Duo quoque capitella fecit, quae ponerentur super capita columnarum, fusilia ex aere: quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum unum, et quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum alterum:

And he made two chapiters of molten brasse to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of one of the chapiters was fiue cubites, and the height of the other chapiter was fiue cubites.

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.

He made grates like networke, and wrethen worke like chaynes for the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars, euen seuen for the one chapiter, and seuen for the other chapiter.

18 Et perfecit columnas, et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum, ut tegerent capitella, quae erant super summitatem, malogranatorum: eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo.

So he made the pillars and two rowes of pomegranates round about in the one grate to couer the chapiters that were vpon the top. And thus did he for the other chapiter.

19 Capitella autem, quae erant super capita columnarum, quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu quattuor cubitorum.

And the chapiters that were on the toppe of the pillars were after lilye worke in ye porch, foure cubites.

20 Et rursum alia capitella in summitate columnarum desuper iuxta mensuram columnae contra retiacula: malogranatorum autem ducenti ordines erant in circuitu capitelli secundi.

And the chapiters vpon the two pillars had also aboue, ouer against the belly within the networke pomegranates: for two hudreth pomegranates were in the two rankes about vpon either of the chapiters.

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 vp the pillars in the porche of the Temple. And when hee had set vp the right pillar, he called the name thereof Iachin: and when he had set vp the left pillar, he called the name thereof Boaz.

22 Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit: perfectumque est opus columnarum.

And vpon the top of the pillars was worke of lilyes: so was the workemanship 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 a molten sea ten cubites wide from brim to brim, rounde in compasse, and fiue cubites hie, and a line of thirtie cubites did compasse it about.

24 Et sculptura subter labium circuibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare: duo ordines sculpturarum histriatarum erant fusiles.

And vnder the brimme of it were knoppes like wilde cucumers compassing it round about, ten in one cubite, compassing the sea round about: and the two rowes of knoppes were cast, when it was molten.

25 Et stabant 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 stoode on twelue bulles, three looking towarde the North, and three toward the West, and three toward the South, and three towarde the East: and the sea stoode aboue vpon them, and all their hinder partes were inward.

26 Grossitudo autem luteris, trium unciarum erat: labiumque eius, quasi labium calicis, et folium repandi lilii: duo millia batos capiebat et tria millia metretas.

It was an hand bredth thicke, and the brim thereof was like the worke of the brim of a cup with floures of lilyes: it contained two thousad Baths.

27 Et fecit decem bases aeneas, quattuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas, et quattuor cubitorum latitudinis, et trium cubitorum altitudinis.

And he made tenne bases of brasse, one base was foure cubites long, and foure cubites broad, and three cubites hie.

28 Et ipsum opus basium, interrasile erat: et sculpturae inter iuncturas.

And the worke of the bases was on this maner, They had borders, and the borders were betweene 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 aere dependentia.

And on the borders that were betweene the ledges, were lyons, bulles and Cherubims: and vpon the ledges there was a base aboue: and beneath the lyons and bulles, were addicions made of thinne worke.

30 Et quattuor rotae per bases singulas, et axes aerei: et per quattuor partes quasi humeruli subter luterem fusiles, contra se invicem respectantes.

And euery base had foure brasen wheeles, and plates of brasse: and the foure corners had vndersetters: vnder the caldron were vndersetters molten at the side of euery addicion.

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 variae caelaturae erant: et media intercolumnia, quadrata non rotunda.

And the mouth of it was within the chapiter and aboue to measure by the cubite: for the mouth thereof was round made like a base, and it was a cubite and halfe a cubite: and also vpon the mouth thereof were grauen workes, whose borders were foure square, and not round.

32 Quattuor quoque rotae, quae per quattuor angulos basis erant, cohaerebant sibi subter basim: una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis.

And vnder the borders were foure wheeles, and the axeltrees of the wheeles ioyned to the base: and the height of a wheele was a cubite and halfe a cubite.

33 Tales autem rotae erant quales solent in curru fieri: et axes earum, et radii, et canthi, et modioli, omnia fusilia.

And the facion of the wheeles was like the facion of a charet wheele, their axeltrees, and their naues and their felloes, and their spokes were all molten.

34 Nam et humeruli illi quattuor per singulos angulos basis unius, ex ipsa basi fusiles et coniuncti erant.

And foure vndersetters were vpon the foure corners of one base: and the vndersetters thereof were of the base it selfe.

35 In summitate autem basis erat quaedam rotunditas unius et dimidii cubiti, ita fabrefacta, ut luter desuper posset imponi, habens caelaturas suas, variasque sculpturas ex semetipsa.

And in the toppe of the base was a rounde compasse of halfe a cubite hie round about: and vpon the toppe of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

36 Sculpsit quoque in tabulatis illis, quae erant ex aere, et in angulis, cherubim, et leones, et palmas, quasi in similitudinem hominis stantis, ut non caelata, sed apposita per circuitum viderentur.

And vpon the tables of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof he did graue Cherubims, lions and palmetrees, on the side of euery one, and addicions round about.

37 In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura, sculpturaque consimili.

Thus made he the tenne bases, They had all one casting, one measure, and one syse.

38 Fecit quoque decem luteres aeneos: quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus, eratque quattuor cubitorum: singulos quoque luteres per singulas, id est, decem bases, posuit.

Then made he ten caldrons of brasse, one caldron conteyned fourty Baths: and euery caldron was foure cubites, one caldron was vpon one base throughout 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 set the bases, fiue on the right side of the house, and fiue 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 amulas, et perfecit omne opus regis Salomonis in templo Domini.

And Hiram made caldrons, and besomes, and basens, and Hiram finished all the worke that he made to King Salomon for the house of ye Lord:

41 Columnas duas, et funiculos capitellorum super capitella columnarum duos: et retiacula duo, ut operirent duos funiculos, qui erant super capita columnarum.

To wit, two pillars and two bowles of the chapiters that were on the toppe of the two pillars, and two grates to couer the two bowles of the chapiters which were vpon the toppe 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 foure hundreth pomegranates for the two grates, euen two rowes of pomegranates for euery grate to couer the two bowles of the chapiters, that were vpon the pillars,

43 Et bases decem, et luteres decem super bases.

And the ten bases, and ten caldrons vpon the bases,

44 Et mare unum, et boves duodecim subter mare.

And the sea, and twelue bulles vnder that sea,

45 Et lebetes, et scutras, et amulas. omnia vasa, quae fecit Hiram regi Salomoni in domo Domini, de auricalco erant.

And pottes, and besomes and basens: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to King Salomon for the house of the Lord, were of shining brasse.

46 In campestri regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra, inter Sochoth et Sarthan.

In the plaine of Iorden did the King cast them in clay betweene Succoth and Zarthan.

47 Et posuit Salomon omnia vasa: propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus aeris.

And Salomon left to weigh all the vessels because of the exceeding aboundance, neyther could the weight of the brasse be counted.

48 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini: altare aureum, et mensam, super quam ponerentur panes propositionis, auream:

So Salomon made all the vessels that perteyned vnto the house of the Lord, the golden altar, and the golden table, whereon the shewbread was,

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 candlestickes, fiue at the right side, and fiue at the left, before the oracle of pure gold, and the flowres, and the lampes, and the snuffers of golde,

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 bowles, and the hookes, and the basens, and the spoones, and the ashpannes of pure golde, and the hinges of golde for the doores of the house within, euen for the most holy place, and for the doores of the house, to wit, of the Temple.

51 Et perfecit omne opus quod faciebat Salomon in domo Domini, et intulit quae sanctificaverat David pater suus, argentum et aurum, et vasa, reposuitque in thesauris domus Domini.

So was finished all the worke that King Salomon made for the house of the Lord, and Salomon brought in the things which Dauid his father had dedicated: the siluer and the golde and the vessels, and layed them among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
