Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1Et cœpit Salomon ædificare domum Domini in Jerusalem in monte Moria, qui demonstratus fuerat David patri ejus, in loco quem paraverat David in area Ornan Jebusæi.
2Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
2Cœpit autem ædificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
3The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
3Et hæc sunt fundamenta quæ jecit Salomon, ut ædificaret domum Dei: longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.
4The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
4Porticum vero ante frontem, quæ tendebatur in longum juxta mensuram latitudinis domus, cubitorum viginti: porro altitudo centum viginti cubitorum erat: et deauravit eam intrinsecus auro mundissimo.
5He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
5Domum quoque majorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis, et laminas auri obrizi affixit per totum: sculpsitque in ea palmas, et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.
6He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
6Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
7He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
7Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cujus laminis texit domum, et trabes ejus, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et cælavit cherubim in parietibus.
8Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
8Fecit quoque domum Sancti sanctorum: longitudinem juxta latitudinem domus cubitorum viginti: et latitudinem similiter viginti cubitorum: et laminis aureis texit eam, quasi talentis sexcentis.
9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
9Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: cœnacula quoque texit auro.
10In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
10Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.
11The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
11Alæ cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus: et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.
12The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
12Similiter cherub alterius ala, quinque habebat cubitos, et tangebat parietem: et ala ejus altera quinque cubitorum, alam cherub alterius contingebat.
13So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
13Igitur alæ utriusque cherubim expansæ erant et extendebantur per cubitos viginti: ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versæ ad exteriorem domum.
14He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
14Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.
15In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
15Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quæ triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.
16He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
16Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quæ catenulis interposuit.
17Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
17Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris: eam quæ a dextris erat, vocavit Jachin: et quæ ad lævam, Booz.
