1 Kings 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
1Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν Χιρὰμ ἐκ Τύρου,
2For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon: the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
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 Σαλωμών· καὶ ἐποίησε πάντα τὰ ἔργα.
3And it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, that lay on forty and five pillars, fifteen in a row.
3Καὶ ἐχώνευσε τοὺς δύο στύλους τῷ αἰλὰμ τοῦ οἴκου· ὀκτωκαίδεκα πήχεις ὕψος τοῦ στύλου· καὶ περίμετρον τεσσαρεσκαίδεκα πήχεις ἐκύκλου αὐτὸν τὸ πάχος τοῦ στύλου· τεσσάρων δσκτύλων τὰ κοιλώματα· καὶ οὕτως ὁ στύλος ὁ δεύτερος·
4And there were beams in three rows; and light was over against light in three ranks.
4Καὶ δύο ἐπιθέματα ἐποίησε δοῦναι ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν στύλων χωνευτά· πέντε πήχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ ἑνὸς, καὶ πέντε πήχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ δευτέρου
5And all the doors with their posts were square in the frame; and light was over against light in three ranks.
5Καὶ ἐποίησε δύο δίκτυα περικαλύψαι τὸ ἐπίθεμα τῶν στύλων· καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ.
6And he made the porch of pillars: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and thick beams before them.
6Καὶ ἔργον κρεμαστὸν, δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν χαλκῶν, δεδικτυωμένοι, ἔργον κρεμαστὸν, στίχος ἐπὶ στίχον· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ.
7And he made the porch of the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
7Καὶ ἔστησε τοὺς στύλους τοῦ αἰλὰμ τοῦ ναοῦ· καὶ ἔστησε τὸν στύλον τὸν ἕνα, καὶ ἐπεκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰαχούμ· καὶ ἔστησε τὸν στύλον τὸν δεύτερον, καὶ ἐπεκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βολώζ.
8And his house where he might dwell, in the other court, within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
8Καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων ἔργον κρίνου κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τεσσάρων πηχῶν·
9All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.
9καὶ μέλαθρον ἐπʼ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν στύλων· καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπίθεμα τὸ μέλαθρον τῷ πάχει.
10And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
10Καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν θάλασσαν δέκα ἐν πήχει ἀπὸ τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς, στρογγυλόν κύκλῳ τὸ αὐτό· πέντε ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς· καὶ συνηγμένη τρεῖς καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πήχει.
11And above were costly stones, after the measure of hewn stones, and cedar-wood.
11Καὶ ὑποστηρίγματα ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς κυκλόθεν ἐκύκλουν αὐτὴν δέκα ἐν πήχει κυκλόθεν·
12And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams, like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the court of the porch of the house.
12καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς ἔργον χείλους ποτηρίου βλαστὸς κρίνου· καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ παλαιστής.
13And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
13Καὶ δώδεκα βόες ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης, οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες βοῤῥὰν, 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 ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν.
14He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought 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 ὕψος αὐτῆς.
15Thus he fashioned the two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high each; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it about; and so the other pillar.
15Καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν μεχωνὼθ συγκλειστὸν αὐτοῖς, καὶ συγκλειστὸν ἀναμέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων.
16And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
16Καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῶν ἀναμέσον ἐξεχομένων λέοντες καὶ βόες καὶ χερουβὶμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐξεχομένων, οὕτως καὶ ἐπάνωθεν, καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν λεόντων καὶ τῶν βοῶν χῶραι, ἔργον καταβάσεως.
17He also made nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
17Καὶ τέσσαρες τροχοὶ χαλκοῖ τῇ μεχωνὼθ τῇ μιᾷ, καὶ τὰ προσέχοντα χαλκᾶ καὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν, ὠμίαι ὑποκάτω τῶν λουτήρων.
18And he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pomegranates; and so did he for the other capital.
18Καὶ χεῖρες ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς ἐν τῇ μεχωνώθ. Καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ τροχοῦ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους.
19And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.
19Καὶ τὸ ἔργον τῶν τροχῶν ἔργον τροχῶν ἅρματος· αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ πραγματεία αὐτῶν πάντα χωνευτά.
20And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network; and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon each capital.
20Αἱ τέσσαρες ὠμίαι ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν τῆς μεχωνὼθ τῆς μιᾶς, ἐκ τῆς μεχωνὼθ οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῆς.
21And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof 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 upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; so was the work of the pillars finished.
22Καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς χερουβὶμ καὶ λέοντες καὶ φοίνικες ἑστῶτα, ἐχόμενον ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον ἔσω καὶ τὰ κυκλόθεν.
23And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
23Κατʼ αὐτὴν ἐποίησε πάσας τὰς δέκα μεχωνὼθ, τάξιν μίαν καὶ μέτρον ἓν πάσαις.
24And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about; the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
24Καὶ ἐποίησε δέκα χυτροκαύλους χαλκοῦς, τεσσαράκοντα χοεῖς χωροῦντα τὸν ἕνα χυτρόκαυλον μετρήσει τεσσάρων πήχων· χυτρόκαυλος ὁ εἷς ἐπὶ τῇ μεχωνὼθ τῇ μιᾷ ταῖς δέκα μεχωνώθ.
25It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
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 ὡμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν κατʼ ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ Νότου.
26And it was a hand-breadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held two thousand baths.
26Καὶ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμαστρεῖς καὶ τὰς φιάλας· καὶ συνετέλεσε Χιρὰμ ποιῶν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησε τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου·
27And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
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.
28And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the stays;
28Τὰς ῥοὰς τετρακοσίας ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς δικτύοις, δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ, περικαλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ ὄντα τὰ στρεπτὰ τῆς μεχωνὼθ ἐπʼ ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς στύλοις·
29and on the borders that were between the stays were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the stays it was in like manner above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
29Καὶ τὰ μεχωνὼθ δέκα, καὶ τοὺς χυτροκαύλους δέκα ἐπὶ τῶν μεχωνώθ·
30And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters; beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
30Καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν, καὶ τοὺς βόας δώδεκα ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης·
31And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit high; and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings; and their borders were foursquare, not round.
31Καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμαστρεῖς καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη, ἃ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου· καὶ οἱ στύλοι τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου· πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ βασιλέως ἃ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ χαλκᾶ ἄρδην.
32And the four wheels were underneath the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
32Οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ οὗ ἐποίησε πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα ἐκ πλήθους σφόδρα· οὐκ ἦν τέρμα τῶν σταθμῶν τοῦ χαλκοῦ.
33And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel; their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
33Ἐν τῷ περιοίκῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἀναμέσον Σοκχὼθ καὶ ἀναμέσον Σειρά.
34And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base; the undersetters thereof were of one piece with the base itself.
34Καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν, καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν ἐφʼ ἧς οἱ ἄρτοι τῆς προσφορᾶς, χρυσῆν,
35And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of one piece therewith.
35καὶ τὰς λυχνίας πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν, καὶ πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβὶρ χρυσᾶς συγκλειομένας, καὶ τὰ λαμπάδια, καὶ τοὺς λύχνους, καὶ τὰς ἐπαρύστρις χρυσᾶς.
36And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
36Καὶ τὰ πρόθυρα, καὶ οἱ ἧλοι, καὶ αἱ φιάλαι, καὶ τὰ τρυβλία, καὶ αἱ θυΐσκαι χρυσαῖ, συγκλειστά· καὶ τὰ θυρώματα τῶν θυρῶν τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐσωτάτου ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ τὰς θύρας τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς.
37After this manner he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
37Καὶ ἀνεπληρώθη τὸ ἔργον ὃ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ εἰσήνεγκε Σαλωμὼν τὰ ἅγια Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅγια Σαλωμὼν, τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἔδωκεν εἰς τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου Κυρίου.
38And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
38Καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτῷ ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν τρισκαίδεκα ἔτεσι·
39And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
39Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὸν οἶκον δρυμῷ τοῦ Λιβάνου· ἑκατὸν πήχεις μῆκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεις πλάτος αὐτοῦ, καὶ τριάκοντα πηχῶν ὕψος αὐτοῦ· καὶ τριῶν στύχων στύλων κεδρίνων, καὶ ὠμίαι κέδριναι τοῖς στύλοις.
40And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:
40Καὶ ἐφάτνωσε τὸν οἶκον ἄνωθεν ἐπὶ τῶν πλευρῶν τῶν στύλων· καὶ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στύλων τεσσαράκοντα καὶ πέντε ὁ στίχος,
41the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
41καὶ μέλαθρα τρία, καὶ χῶρα ἐπὶ χώραν τρισσῶς.
42and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;
42Καὶ πάντα τὰ θυρώματα, καὶ αἱ χῶραι τετράγωνοι μεμελαθρωμέναι· καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυρώματος ἐπὶ θύραν τρισσῶς.
43and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
43Καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τῶν στύλων, πεντήκοντα μῆκος, καὶ πεντήκοντα ἐν πλάτει ἐζυγωμένα αἰλὰμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν· καὶ στύλοι καὶ πάχος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς τοῖς αἰλαμίν.
44and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
44Καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τῶν θρόνων οὗ κρινεῖ ἐκεῖ, αἰλὰμ τοῦ κριτηρίου.
45and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.
45Καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῶν ἐν ᾧ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ, αὐλὴ μία ἐξελισσομένη τούτοις κατὰ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο· Καὶ οἶκον τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραὼ ἣν ἔλαβε Σαλωμὼν, κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τοῦτο.
46In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground 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,
47And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.
47τὴν τεθεμελιωμένην ἐν τιμίοις λίθοις μεγάλοις, λίθοις δεκαπήχεσι καὶ τοῖς ὀκταπήχεσι·
48And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;
48Καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τιμίοις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον ἀπελεκήτων, καὶ κέδροις.
49and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the Sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
49Τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς μεγάλης κύκλῳ τρεῖς στίχοι ἀπελεκήτων, καὶ στίχος κεκολαμμένης κέδρου·
50and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, and the fire-pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple, of gold.
50καὶ συνετέλεσε Σαλωμὼν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
51Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
