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 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 hererent 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 lapidibus dedolatis 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 parte erat domus dexterae et per cocleam ascendebant in medium cenaculum 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 Israhel et non derelinquam populum meum Israhel
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 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 suas et iuncturas fabrefactas et celaturas 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 adfixit lamminas 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 duo cherubin 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 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 mensura pari et opus unum erat in duobus cherubin
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 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 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 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, 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 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
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 introitum 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 scalpsit cherubin et palmas et celaturas valde eminentes operuitque omnia lamminis 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 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.
