Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Solomon 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. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on 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.
3It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were on the 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·
4There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window 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
5All the doors and posts were made square with beams; and window was facing window in three ranks.
5Καὶ ἐποίησε δύο δίκτυα περικαλύψαι τὸ ἐπίθεμα τῶν στύλων· καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ.
6He made the hall of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them.
6Καὶ ἔργον κρεμαστὸν, δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν χαλκῶν, δεδικτυωμένοι, ἔργον κρεμαστὸν, στίχος ἐπὶ στίχον· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ.
7He made the porch of the throne where he was to 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.
8His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the same construction. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
8Καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων ἔργον κρίνου κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τεσσάρων πηχῶν·
9All these were of costly stones, even of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
9καὶ μέλαθρον ἐπʼ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν στύλων· καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπίθεμα τὸ μέλαθρον τῷ πάχει.
10The 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.
11Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
11Καὶ ὑποστηρίγματα ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς κυκλόθεν ἐκύκλουν αὐτὴν δέκα ἐν πήχει κυκλόθεν·
12The great court around had three courses of cut stone with a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the LORD’s house and the porch of the house.
12καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς ἔργον χείλους ποτηρίου βλαστὸς κρίνου· καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ παλαιστής.
13King Solomon sent and brought 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 bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. He came to King Solomon and performed 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.
15For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them.
15Καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν μεχωνὼθ συγκλειστὸν αὐτοῖς, καὶ συγκλειστὸν ἀναμέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων.
16He made two capitals of molten bronze to set on 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.
17There were nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals which were on 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.
18So he made the pillars; and there were two rows of pomegranates around the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.
18Καὶ χεῖρες ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς ἐν τῇ μεχωνώθ. Καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ τροχοῦ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους.
19The capitals that were on 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.
20There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around the other capital.
20Αἱ τέσσαρες ὠμίαι ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν τῆς μεχωνὼθ τῆς μιᾶς, ἐκ τῆς μεχωνὼθ οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῆς.
21He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called its name 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.
22On the tops of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.
22Καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς χερουβὶμ καὶ λέοντες καὶ φοίνικες ἑστῶτα, ἐχόμενον ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον ἔσω καὶ τὰ κυκλόθεν.
23He made the molten sea ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape. Its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.
23Κατʼ αὐτὴν ἐποίησε πάσας τὰς δέκα μεχωνὼθ, τάξιν μίαν καὶ μέτρον ἓν πάσαις.
24Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The buds 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 on 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 on them above, and all their hindquarters 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.
26It was a hand width thick. Its brim was worked 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·
27He made the ten bases of bronze. The length of one base was four cubits, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.
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.
28The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
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 panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
29Καὶ τὰ μεχωνὼθ δέκα, καὶ τοὺς χυτροκαύλους δέκα ἐπὶ τῶν μεχωνώθ·
30Every base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze; and its four feet had supports. The supports were cast beneath the basin, with wreaths at the side of each.
30Καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν, καὶ τοὺς βόας δώδεκα ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης·
31Its opening within the capital and above was a cubit. Its opening was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening were engravings, and their panels were square, 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.
32The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base. 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.
33The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast metal.
33Ἐν τῷ περιοίκῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἀναμέσον Σοκχὼθ καὶ ἀναμέσον Σειρά.
34There were four supports at the four corners of each base. Its supports were of 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,
35In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same.
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.
36On the plates of its supports and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around.
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.
37He made the ten bases in this way: 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.
38He made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. Every basin measured four cubits. One basin was on every one of the ten bases.
38Καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτῷ ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν τρισκαίδεκα ἔτεσι·
39He set the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and 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.
40Hiram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for King Solomon in the LORD’s house:
40Καὶ ἐφάτνωσε τὸν οἶκον ἄνωθεν ἐπὶ τῶν πλευρῶν τῶν στύλων· καὶ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στύλων τεσσαράκοντα καὶ πέντε ὁ στίχος,
41the two pillars; the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 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.
42the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
42Καὶ πάντα τὰ θυρώματα, καὶ αἱ χῶραι τετράγωνοι μεμελαθρωμέναι· καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυρώματος ἐπὶ θύραν τρισσῶς.
43the ten bases; the ten basins 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.
44the one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea;
44Καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τῶν θρόνων οὗ κρινεῖ ἐκεῖ, αἰλὰμ τοῦ κριτηρίου.
45the pots; the shovels; and the basins. All of these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon for the LORD’s house, were of burnished bronze.
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.
46The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, 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,
47Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
47τὴν τεθεμελιωμένην ἐν τιμίοις λίθοις μεγάλοις, λίθοις δεκαπήχεσι καὶ τοῖς ὀκταπήχεσι·
48Solomon made all the vessels that were in the LORD’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold;
48Καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τιμίοις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον ἀπελεκήτων, καὶ κέδροις.
49and the lamp stands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
49Τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς μεγάλης κύκλῳ τρεῖς στίχοι ἀπελεκήτων, καὶ στίχος κεκολαμμένης κέδρου·
50the cups, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, 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, of the temple, of gold.
50καὶ συνετέλεσε Σαλωμὼν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
51Thus all the work that King Solomon did in the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them in the treasuries of the LORD’s house.
