1Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israël de terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio (ipse est mensis secundus), regni Salomonis super Israël, ædificari cœpit domus Domino.
1And 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 the LORD.
2Domus autem quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine.
2And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, juxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi.
3And 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.
4Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas.
4And for the house he made windows broad within, and narrow without.
5Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.
5And against the wall of the house he built a side-structure round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the sanctuary; and he made side-chambers round about;
6Tabulatum 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 hærerent muris templi.
6the nethermost story of the side-structure was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made rebatements in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house. —
7Domus autem cum ædificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis ædificata est: et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum ædificaretur.
7For 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. —
8Ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dextræ: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium cœnaculum, et a medio in tertium.
8The door for the lowest row of chambers was in the right side of the house and they went up by winding stairs into the middle row, and out of the middle into the third.
9Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.
9So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered in the house with planks of cedar over beams.
10Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis.
10And he built the stories of the side-structure against all the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens:
11And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
12Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis meis, et judicia mea feceris, et custodieris omnia mandata mea, gradiens per ea, firmabo sermonem meum tibi, quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum:
12'As for 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 spoke unto David thy father;
13et habitabo in medio filiorum Israël, et non derelinquam populum meum Israël.
13in that I will dwell therein among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.'
14Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam.
14So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15Et ædificavit parietes domus intrinsecus tabulatis cedrinis: a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum, et usque ad laquearia, operuit lignis cedrinis intrinsecus: et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis.
15And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house unto the joists of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
16Ædificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora: et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in Sanctum sanctorum.
16And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the joists; he even built them for himself within, for a Sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi.
17And the house, that is, the temple before the Sanctuary, was forty cubits long.
18Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas et juncturas suas fabrefactas, et cælaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete.
18And the cedar on the house within was carved with knops and open flowers; all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini.
19And he prepared the Sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
20Porro 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.
20And before the Sanctuary which was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof, overlaid with pure gold, he set an altar, which he covered with cedar.
21Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis.
21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold; and he drew chains of gold across the wall before the Sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.
22Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro.
22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished; also the whole altar that belonged to the Sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
23Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis.
23And in the Sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.
24Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera: id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alæ unius usque ad alæ alterius summitatem.
24And 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.
25Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim,
25And the other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.
26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27Posuitque cherubim in medio templi interioris: extendebant autem alas suas cherubim, et tangebat ala una parietem, et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum: alæ autem alteræ in media parte templi se invicem contingebant.
27And 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.
28Texit quoque cherubim auro.
28And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis cælaturis et torno: et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes.
29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.
30Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus.
30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque.
31And for the entrance of the Sanctuary he made doors of olive-wood, the door-posts within the frame having five angles.
32Et duo ostia de lignis olivarum: et sculpsit in eis picturam cherubim, et palmarum species, et anaglypha valde prominentia: et texit ea auro, et operuit tam cherubim quam palmas, et cetera, auro.
32And as for the two doors of olive-wood, 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.
33Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos,
33So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, within a frame four-square;
34et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur.
34and two doors of cypress-wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam.
35And he carved thereon cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.
36Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri.
36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio:
37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Ziv.
38et in anno undecimo, mense Bul (ipse est mensis octavus), perfecta est domus in omni opere suo, et in universis utensilibus suis: ædificavitque eam annis septem.
38And 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.
