I Regum 6
1 factum est igitur quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israhel de terra Aegypti in anno quarto mense zio ipse est mensis secundus regis Salomonis super Israhel aedificare coepit domum 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 Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.
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 king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty 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 before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4 fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas
And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.
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 built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; 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 hererent muris templi
The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house.
7 domus autem cum aedificaretur lapidibus dedolatis atque perfectis aedificata est et malleus et securis et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum aedificaretur
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dexterae et per cocleam ascendebant in medium cenaculum et a medio in tertium
The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into 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 he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10 et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis et operuit domum lignis cedrinis
And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem dicens
And the word of Jehovah came to 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 execute mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father.
13 et habitabo in medio filiorum Israhel et non derelinquam populum meum Israhel
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 igitur aedificavit Salomon domum et consummavit eam
So 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 intrinsecus et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered 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 on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls [of the ceiling]: he built [them] for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.
17 porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi
And the house, that is, the temple before [the oracle], was forty cubits [long].
18 et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur habens tornaturas suas et iuncturas fabrefactas et celaturas eminentes omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete
And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 oraculum autem in medio domus in interiori parte fecerat ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini
And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set 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 within the oracle was [a space of] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.
21 domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo et adfixit lamminas clavis aureis
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 et fecit in oraculo duo cherubin de lignis olivarum decem cubitorum altitudinis
And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.
24 quinque cubitorum ala cherub una et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera id est decem cubitos habentes a summitate alae usque ad alae alterius summitatem
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus mensura pari et opus unum erat in duobus cherubin
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 id est altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum et similiter cherub secundus
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27 posuitque cherubin in medio templi interioris extendebant autem alas suas cherubin et tangebat ala una parietem et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum alae autem alterae in media parte templi se invicem contingebant
And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 texit quoque cherubin auro
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 et omnes parietes templi per circuitum scalpsit variis celaturis et torno et fecit in eis cherubin et palmas et picturas varias quasi prominentes de pariete et egredientes
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31 et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum postesque angulorum quinque
And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel [and] door-posts were a fifth part [of the wall].
32 et duo ostia de lignis olivarum et scalpsit in eis picturam cherubin et palmarum species et anaglyfa valde prominentia et texit ea auro et operuit tam cherubin quam palmas et cetera auro
So [he made] two doors of olive-wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
33 fecitque in introitum templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos
So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall];
34 et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus et utrumque ostium duplex erat et se invicem tenens aperiebatur
and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 et scalpsit cherubin et palmas et celaturas valde eminentes operuitque omnia lamminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam
And he carved [thereon] cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.
36 et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum et uno ordine lignorum cedri
And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.
37 anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense zio
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Ziv.
38 et in anno undecimo mense bul ipse est mensis octavus perfecta est domus in omni opere suo et in universis utensilibus aedificavitque eam annis septem
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
