1Solomon, however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace.
1ΚΑΙ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν Χιρὰμ ἐκ Τύρου,
2He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams.
2υἱὸν γυναικὸς χήρας, καὶ οὗτος ἀπὸ τῆς φυλῆς τῆς Νεφθαλίμ, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Τύριος, τέκτων χαλκοῦ καὶ πεπληρωμένος τῆς τέχνης καὶ συνέσεως καὶ ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ ποιεῖν πᾶν ἔργον ἐν χαλκῷ· καὶ εἰσηνέχθη πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἐποίησε πάντα τὰ ἔργα.
3The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
3καὶ ἐχώνευσε τοὺς δύο στήλους τῷ αἰλὰμ τοῦ οἴκου, ὀκτωκαίδεκα πήχεις ὕψος τοῦ στύλου, καὶ περίμετρον τεσσαρεσκαίδεκα πήχεις ἐκύκλου αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ πάχος τοῦ στύλου τεσσάρων δακτύλων τὰ κοιλώματα, καὶ οὕτως ὁ στῦλος ὁ δεύτερος.
4There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
4καὶ δύο ἐπιθέματα ἐποίησε δοῦναι ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν στύλων, χωνευτὰ χαλκᾶ· πέντε πήχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ ἑνός, καὶ πέντε πήχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ δευτέρου.
5All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
5καὶ ἐποίησε δύο δίκτυα περικαλύψαι τὸ ἐπίθεμα τῶν στύλων, καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ ἑνί, καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ.
6Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
6καὶ ἔργον κρεμαστόν, δύο στίχοι ροῶν χαλκῶν δεδικτυωμένοι, ἔργον κρεμαστόν, στίχος ἐπὶ στίχον· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ.
7In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
7καὶ ἔστησε τοὺς στύλους τοῦ αἰλὰμ τοῦ ναοῦ· καὶ ἔστησε τὸν στῦλον τὸν ἕνα καὶ ἐπεκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰαχούμ· καὶ ἔστησε τὸν στῦλον τὸν δεύτερον καὶ ἐπεκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βαάς.
8And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
8καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων ἔργον κρίνου κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τεσσάρων πηχῶν.
9All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard.
9καὶ μέλαθρον ἐπ᾿ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν στύλων, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπίθεμα τὸ μέλαθρον τῷ πάχει.
10The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.
10καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν θάλασσαν δέκα ἐν πήχει ἀπὸ τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς, στρογγύλον κύκλῳ τὸ αὐτό· πέντε ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς, καὶ συνηγμένοι τρεῖς καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πήχει ἐκύκλουν αὐτήν.
11Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
11καὶ ὑποστηρίγματα ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς κυκλόθεν ἐκύκλουν αὐτήν, δέκα ἐν πήχει κυκλόθεν
12The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD.
12καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς ἔργον χείλους ποτηρίου, βλαστὸς κρίνου, καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ παλαιστής.
13Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.
13καὶ δώδεκα βόες ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης, οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες βορρᾶν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες θάλασσαν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες νότον καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες ἀνατολήν, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὀπίσθια εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν.
14He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.
14καὶ ἐποίησε δέκα μεχωνὼθ χαλκᾶς· πέντε πήχεις μῆκος τῆς μεχωνὼθ τῆς μιᾶς, καὶ τέσσαρες πήχεις τὸ πλάτος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἓξ ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς.
15He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
15καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν μεχωνὼθ συγκλειστὸν αὐτοῖς, καὶ συγκλειστὸν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων.
16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.
16καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων λέοντες καὶ βόες καὶ Χερουβίμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐξεχομένων οὕτως· καὶ ἐπάνωθεν καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν λεόντων καὶ τῶν βοῶν χῶραι, ἔργον καταβάσεως
17For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
17καὶ τέσσαρες τροχοὶ χαλκοῖ τῇ μεχωνὼθ τῇ μιᾷ, καὶ τὰ προσέχοντα χαλκᾶ καὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν, ὠμίαι ὑποκάτω τῶν λουτήρων.
18Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
18καὶ χεῖρες ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς ἐν τῇ μεχωνώθ, καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ τροχοῦ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους.
19And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
19καὶ τὸ ἔργον τῶν τροχῶν ἔργον τροχῶν ἅρματος· αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ πραγματεία αὐτῶν, τὰ πάντα χωνευτά.
20On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
20αἱ τέσσαρες ὠμίαι ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν τῆς μεχωνὼθ τῆς μιᾶς, ἐκ τῆς μεχωνὼθ οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῆς.
21Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
21καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς τῆς μεχωνὼθ ἥμισυ τοῦ πήχεος μέγεθος αὐτῆς στρογγύλον κύκλῳ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς τῆς μεχωνώθ, καὶ ἀρχὴ χειρῶν αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠνοίγετο ἐπὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς.
22And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
22καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς Χερουβὶμ καὶ λέοντες καὶ φοίνικες ἑστῶτα, ἐχόμενον ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἔσω καὶ τὰ κυκλόθεν.
23He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
23κατ᾿ αὐτὴν ἐποίησε πάσας τὰς δέκα μεχωνώθ, τάξιν μίαν καὶ μέτρον ἐν πάσαις.
24Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
24καὶ ἐποίησε δέκα χυτροκαύλους χαλκοῦς, τεσσαράκοντα χοεῖς χωροῦντα τὸν ἕνα χυτρόκαυλον μετρήσει τεσσάρων πηχῶν· ὁ χυτρόκαυλος ὁ εἷς ἐπὶ τῆς μεχωνὼθ τῆς μιᾶς ταῖς δέκα μεχωνώθ.
25The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
25καὶ ἔθετο τὰς πέντε μεχωνὼθ ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐξ ἀριστερῶν· καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν κατ᾿ ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ νότου.
26It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.
26καὶ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας, καὶ συνετέλεσε Χιρὰμ ποιῶν πάντα τὰ ἔργα, ἃ ἐποίησε τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου,
27In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
27στύλους δύο καὶ τὰ στρεπτὰ τῶν στύλων ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων δύο καὶ τὰ δίκτυα δύο τοῦ καλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ στρεπτὰ τῶν γλυφῶν τὰ ὄντα ἐπὶ τῶν στύλων,
28This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,
28τὰς ροὰς τετρακοσίας ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς δικτύοις, δύο στίχοι ροῶν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ περικαλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ ὄντα τὰ στρεπτὰ τῆς μεχωνὼθ ἐπ᾿ ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς στύλοις,
29and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
29καὶ τὰ μεχωνὼθ δέκα καὶ τοὺς χυτροκαύλους δέκα ἐπὶ τῶν μεχωνὼθ
30Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.
30καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν καὶ τοὺς βόας δώδεκα ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης
31The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
31καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη, ἃ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου· καὶ οἱ στῦλοι τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου. πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ βασιλέως, ἃ ἐποίησε Χιράμ, χαλκᾶ ἄρδην·
32There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.
32οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ, οὗ ἐποίησε πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα, ἐκ πλήθους σφόδρα· οὐκ ἦν τέρμα τῶν σταθμῶν τοῦ χαλκοῦ.
33The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
33ἐν τῷ περιοίκῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἀνὰ μέσον Σοκχὼθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σειρά.
34Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.
34καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν τὰ σκεύη, ἃ ἐποίησεν, ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν, ἐφ᾿ ἧς οἱ ἄρτοι τῆς προσφορᾶς, χρυσῆν,
35At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.
35καὶ τὰς λυχνίας πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καὶ πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβίρ, χρυσᾶς συγκλειομένας, καὶ τὰ λαμπάδια καὶ τοὺς λύχνους καὶ τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας χρυσᾶς
36He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.
36καὶ τὰ πρόθυρα καὶ οἱ ἧλοι καὶ αἱ φιάλαι καὶ τὰ τρυβλία καὶ αἱ θυΐσκαι χρυσαῖ, σύγκλειστα, καὶ τὰ θυρώματα τῶν θυρῶν τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐσωτάτου, ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ τὰς θύρας τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς.
37In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
37καὶ ἀνεπληρώθη πᾶν τὸ ἔργον, ὃ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ εἰσήνεγκε Σαλωμὼν τὰ ἅγια Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅγια Σαλωμών, τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη, ἔδωκεν εἰς τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου Κυρίου.
38He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
38Καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτῷ ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν τρισκαίδεκα ἔτεσι.
39He set five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north, and he put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
39καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὸν οἶκον δρυμῷ τοῦ Λιβάνου· ἑκατὸν πήχεις μῆκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεις πλάτος αὐτοῦ, καὶ τριάκοντα πηχῶν ὕψος αὐτοῦ· καὶ τριῶν στίχων στύλων κεδρίνων, καὶ ὠμίαι κέδριναι τοῖς στύλοις.
40Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:
40καὶ ἐφάτνωσε τὸν οἶκον ἄνωθεν ἐπὶ τῶν πλευρῶν τῶν στύλων, καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στύλων τεσσαράκοντα καὶ πέντε ὁ στίχος·
41the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
41καὶ μέλαθρα τρία καὶ χώρα ἐπὶ χώραν τρισσῶς·
42the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
42καὶ πάντα τὰ θυρώματα καὶ αἱ χῶραι τετράγωνοι μεμελαθρωμέναι καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυρώματος ἐπὶ θύραν τρισσῶς.
43the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;
43καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τῶν στύλων πεντήκοντα μῆκος καὶ πεντήκοντα ἐν πλάτει, ἐζυγωμένα, αἰλὰμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν, καὶ στῦλοι καὶ πάχος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς τοῖς αἰλαμμίμ.
44the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
44καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τῶν θρόνων, οὗ κρινεῖ ἐκεῖ, αἰλὰμ τοῦ κριτηρίου.
45and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.
45καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῶν, ἐν ᾧ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ, αὐλὴ μία ἐξελισσομένη τούτοις κατὰ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο· καὶ οἶκον τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραώ, ἣν ἔλαβε Σαλωμών, κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τοῦτο.
46The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
46πάντα ταῦτα ἐκ λίθων τιμίων κεκολαμμένα ἐκ διαστήματος ἔσωθεν καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θεμελίου ἕως τῶν γεισῶν καὶ ἔξωθεν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην
47Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
47τὴν τεθεμελιωμένην ἐν τιμίοις λίθοις μεγάλοις, λίθοις δεκαπήχεσι καὶ τοῖς ὀκταπήχεσι,
48Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
48καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τιμίοις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον ἀπελεκήτων καὶ κέδροις.
49the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;
49τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς μεγάλης κύκλῳ τρεῖς στίχοι ἀπελεκήτων καὶ στίχος κεκολαμμένης κέδρου. καὶ συνετέλεσε Σαλωμὼν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
50the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place ) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51So all the work that King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
