1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | 1 Then, for thirteen years, Solomon was engaged in building a palace for himself; so long was it before all was finished. 2 It was then that he set up the building known as the Forest of Lebanon. This was a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, containing four galleries that ran between pillars cut from the trunks of cedars; 3 he roofed it in, too, with cedar rafters, supported by forty-five pillars. The galleries were divided by rows of fifteen pillars 4 placed at fixed intervals 5 so as to face one another, with equal spaces between pillar and pillar; and these supported square beams of cedar that matched one another. 6 There was a pillared hall fifty cubits long and thirty wide, and a second hall in front of it, with pillars to support the architrave. 7 And there was a hall containing his judgement-seat, panelled in cedar from floor to ceiling; 8 within it was a private apartment which he used when he was administering justice. The house he built for Pharao’s daughter that he had married was of the same workmanship as this hall. | 1 Domum autem suam ædificavit Salomon tredecim annis, et ad perfectum usque perduxit. 2 Ædificavit quoque domum saltus Libani centum cubitorum longitudinis, et quinquaginta cubitorum latitudinis, et triginta cubitorum altitudinis: et quatuor deambulacra inter columnas cedrinas: ligna quippe cedrina exciderat in columnas. 3 Et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram, quæ quadraginta quinque columnis sustentabatur. Unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim 4 contra se invicem positas, 5 et e regione se respicientes, æquali spatio inter columnas, et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis æqualia. 6 Et porticum columnarum fecit quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinis, et triginta cubitorum latitudinis: et alteram porticum in facie majoris porticus: et columnas, et epistylia super columnas. 7 Porticum quoque solii, in qua tribunal est, fecit: et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad summitatem. 8 Et domuncula, in qua sedebatur ad judicandum, erat in media porticu simili opere. Domum quoque fecit filiæ Pharaonis (quam uxorem duxerat Salomon) tali opere, quali et hanc porticum. |
9 10 11 12 | 9 All was built of costly stone, cut to exact shape and measure within and without, from top to bottom of the walls, from the entrance up to the great courtyard; 10 the foundations, too, were of costly stones, some ten, some eight cubits long; 11 nor were the stones above less in measurement, with cedar panels to match them. 12 The great courtyard, which was round, had three courses of dressed stone and one of planed cedar-wood; thus the court around the palace porch was to match the inner court of the temple. | 9 Omnia lapidibus pretiosis, qui ad normam quamdam atque mensuram tam intrinsecus quam extrinsecus serrati erant: a fundamento usque ad summitatem parietum, et extrinsecus usque ad atrium majus. 10 Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis, decem sive octo cubitorum. 11 Et desuper lapides pretiosi æqualis mensuræ secti erant, similiterque de cedro. 12 Et atrium majus rotundum trium ordinum de lapidibus sectis, et unius ordinis de dolata cedro: necnon et in atrio domus Domini interiori, et in porticu domus. |
13 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Χιραμ ἐκ Τύρου 14 υἱὸν γυναικὸς χήρας καὶ οὗτος ἀπὸ τῆς φυλῆς Νεφθαλι καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Τύριος τέκτων χαλκοῦ καὶ πεπληρωμένος τῆς τέχνης καὶ συνέσεως καὶ ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ ποιεῖν πᾶν ἔργον ἐν χαλκῷ καὶ εἰσήχθη πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμων καὶ ἐποίησεν πάντα τὰ ἔργα 15 καὶ ἐχώνευσεν τοὺς δύο στύλους τῷ αιλαμ τοῦ οἴκου ὀκτωκαίδεκα πήχεις ὕψος τοῦ στύλου καὶ περίμετρον τέσσαρες καὶ δέκα πήχεις ἐκύκλου αὐτόν καὶ τὸ πάχος τοῦ στύλου τεσσάρων δακτύλων τὰ κοιλώματα καὶ οὕτως ὁ στῦλος ὁ δεύτερος 16 καὶ δύο ἐπιθέματα ἐποίησεν 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 17 καὶ ἐποίησεν δύο δίκτυα περικαλύψαι τὸ ἐπίθεμα τῶν στύλων καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ ἑνί καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ 18 καὶ ἔργον κρεμαστόν δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν χαλκῶν δεδικτυωμένοι ἔργον κρεμαστόν στίχος ἐπὶ στίχον καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δευτέρῳ 19 20 21 καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς στύλους τοῦ αιλαμ τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν τὸν στῦλον τὸν ἕνα καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιαχουμ καὶ ἔστησεν τὸν στῦλον τὸν δεύτερον καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βααζ 22 καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων ἔργον κρίνου κατὰ τὸ αιλαμ τεσσάρων πηχῶν καὶ μέλαθρον ἐ{P'} ἀμφοτέρων τῶν στύλων καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπίθεμα τὸ μέλαθρον τῷ πάχει | 13 There was a craftsman named Hiram, living at Tyre, that king Solomon sent for; 14 his father had been a Tyrian, but his mother, now a widow, belonged to the tribe of Nephthali. A craftsman in bronze, wise, adroit and skilful at doing a brazier’s work; and to do such work king Solomon had now summoned him. 15 Two brazen pillars he made, eighteen cubits in height and twelve in girth, 16 and cast the two capitals of bronze that were to rest on them, each five cubits high, 17 with a pattern of net-work and of chains cunningly enlaced. There were seven rows of chain-work on either capital, all cast in metal. 18 The pillars, too, had their capitals covered with two rows of pomegranates, all round the net-work; both pillars alike. 19 On the base of either capital there was a chain of lily-work, four cubits long;[1] 20 it was the remaining part of the capitals, above, that had the net-work pattern, which went the full round of the pillar; on this second part of them, too, were the rows of pomegranates, two hundred in number. 21 He set up the two pillars before the porch of the temple, calling the one on the right Jachin and the other Booz.[2] 22 Above the pillars he did work in lily pattern, and so the making of the pillars was finished. | 13 Misit quoque rex Salomon, et tulit Hiram de Tyro, 14 filium mulieris viduæ de tribu Nephthali, patre Tyrio, artificem ærarium, et plenum sapientia, et intelligentia, et doctrina, ad faciendum omne opus ex ære. Qui cum venisset ad regem Salomonem, fecit omne opus ejus. 15 Et finxit duas columnas æreas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam: et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque. 16 Duo quoque capitella fecit, quæ ponerentur super capita columnarum, fusilia ex ære: quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum unum, et quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum alterum: 17 et quasi in modum retis, et catenarum sibi invicem miro opere contextarum. Utrumque capitellum columnarum fusile erat: septena versuum retiacula in capitello uno, et septena retiacula in capitello altero. 18 Et perfecit columnas, et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum, ut tegerent capitella quæ erant super summitatem, malogranatorum: eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo. 19 Capitella autem quæ erant super capita columnarum, quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu quatuor cubitorum. 20 Et rursum alia capitella in summitate columnarum desuper juxta mensuram columnæ contra retiacula: malogranatorum autem ducenti ordines erant in circuitu capitelli secundi. 21 Et statuit duas columnas in porticu templi: cumque statuisset columnam dexteram, vocavit eam nomine Jachin: similiter erexit columnam secundam, et vocavit nomen ejus Booz. 22 Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit: perfectumque est opus columnarum. |
23 καὶ ἐποίησεν 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 24 καὶ ὑποστηρίγματα ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς κυκλόθεν ἐκύκλουν αὐτήν δέκα ἐν πήχει κυκλόθεν ἀνιστᾶν τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς ἔργον χείλους ποτηρίου βλαστὸς κρίνου καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ παλαιστής 25 καὶ 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 ἐ{P'} αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν 26 | 23 He cast, too, a great round basin of molten work, ten cubits from brim to brim, five cubits high, and with a girth of thirty cubits. 24 Under the rim ran a moulding ten cubits long; two rows of fluted moulding, all cast in metal. 25 The basin stood on the figures of twelve oxen, three facing north, three west, three south, three east, so resting on them that their hind quarters, turned inwards, could not be seen. 26 The basin was three inches thick, and its brim curved as the brim of a cup does, or a lily-leaf; it held sixty-four tuns. | 23 Fecit quoque mare fusile decem cubitorum a labio usque ad labium, rotundum in circuitu: quinque cubitorum altitudo ejus, et resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud per circuitum. 24 Et sculptura subter labium circuibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare: duo ordines sculpturarum striatarum erant fusiles. 25 Et stabat super duodecim boves, e quibus tres respiciebant ad aquilonem, et tres ad occidentem, et tres ad meridiem, et tres ad orientem: et mare super eos desuper erat: quorum posteriora universa intrinsecus latitabant. 26 Grossitudo autem luteris, trium unciarum erat: labiumque ejus quasi labium calicis, et folium repandi lilii: duo millia batos capiebat. |
27 καὶ ἐποίησεν δέκα μεχωνωθ χαλκᾶς πέντε πήχεις μῆκος τῆς μεχωνωθ τῆς μιᾶς καὶ τέσσαρες πήχεις πλάτος αὐτῆς καὶ ἓξ ἐν πήχει ὕψος αὐτῆς 28 καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν μεχωνωθ σύγκλειστον αὐτοῖς καὶ σύγκλειστον ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων 29 καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων λέοντες καὶ βόες καὶ χερουβιν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐξεχομένων οὕτως καὶ ἐπάνωθεν καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν λεόντων καὶ τῶν βοῶν χῶραι ἔργον καταβάσεως 30 καὶ τέσσαρες τροχοὶ χαλκοῖ τῇ μεχωνωθ τῇ μιᾷ καὶ τὰ προσέχοντα χαλκᾶ καὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν ὠμίαι ὑποκάτω τῶν λουτήρων 31 32 καὶ χεῖρες ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς ἐν τῇ μεχωνωθ καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ τροχοῦ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους 33 καὶ τὸ ἔργον τῶν τροχῶν ἔργον τροχῶν ἅρματος αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ πραγματεία αὐτῶν τὰ πάντα χωνευτά 34 αἱ τέσσαρες ὠμίαι ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν τῆς μεχωνωθ τῆς μιᾶς ἐκ τῆς μεχωνωθ οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῆς 35 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς τῆς μεχωνωθ ἥμισυ τοῦ πήχεος μέγεθος στρογγύλον κύκλῳ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς τῆς μεχωνωθ καὶ ἀρχὴ χειρῶν αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς καὶ ἠνοίγετο ἐπὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς 36 καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς χερουβιν καὶ λέοντες καὶ φοίνικες ἑστῶτα ἐχόμενον ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἔσω καὶ τὰ κυκλόθεν 37 κα{T'} αὐτὴν ἐποίησεν πάσας τὰς δέκα μεχωνωθ τάξιν μίαν καὶ μέτρον ἓν πάσαις 38 καὶ ἐποίησεν δέκα χυτροκαύλους χαλκοῦς τεσσαράκοντα χοεῖς χωροῦντα τὸν χυτρόκαυλον τὸν ἕνα μετρήσει ὁ χυτρόκαυλος ὁ εἷς ἐπὶ τῆς μεχωνωθ τῆς μιᾶς ταῖς δέκα μεχωνωθ 39 καὶ ἔθετο τὰς δέκα μεχωνωθ πέντε 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 κα{T'} ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ νότου | 27 He also made ten brazen stands for smaller basins, four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high. 28 Even these stands were of embossed work; there was moulding between the shafts; 29 moulding, too, between the upper and the lower rims, of lions and bulls and cherubim, and between the shafts above them the same pattern; and under the lions and oxen hung thongs, as it were, of bronze. 30 Each stand had four wheels, with axles of bronze; and on each of its four corners it had a bracket of molten work, to take the basin, four brackets facing one another at opposite corners. 31 These supported a rest on which the extremity of the basin was to stand; a round rest which measured a cubit across, or a cubit and a half with the basin. At the corners round it there were engraved columns, and the space between them was filled by other columns, square, not round. 32 The four wheels were at the four corners of the stand, each pair connected under the stand itself; every wheel was a cubit and a half in height; 33 such wheels were they as might be found in a chariot, axles and spokes and rims and naves all of molten work, 34 just as the four brackets, springing from the corners of each stand, were of molten work and part of the stand itself. 35 At the top of each stand was a round rim, half a cubit across, carefully made so that the foot of the basin could rest upon it; a rim covered with engraving, that had embossed work springing from it. 36 The rings of which I have spoken were of bronze, and around these, and at the corners about them, were cherubim and lions and palm-trees, standing out like statues, as if they had been added on, instead of being cast with the rest. 37 Thus he made the ten stands, all alike in the manner of their casting, in their measurements, and in their figured work. 38 Then he made the ten bronze basins, each holding three hundred gallons, four cubits across, and set one basin on each stand. 39 Five of the stands were on the right side of the temple, five on the left, and the great basin itself on the right, towards the south-east.[3] | 27 Et fecit decem bases æneas, quatuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas, et quatuor cubitorum latitudinis, et trium cubitorum altitudinis. 28 Et ipsum opus basium, interrasile erat: et sculpturæ inter juncturas. 29 Et inter coronulas et plectas, leones et boves et cherubim, et in juncturis similiter desuper: et subter leones et boves, quasi lora ex ære dependentia. 30 Et quatuor rotæ per bases singulas, et axes ærei: et per quatuor partes quasi humeruli subter luterem fusiles, contra se invicem respectantes. 31 Os quoque luteris intrinsecus erat in capitis summitate: et quod forinsecus apparebat, unius cubiti erat totum rotundum, pariterque habebat unum cubitum et dimidium: in angulis autem columnarum variæ cælaturæ erant: et media intercolumnia, quadrata non rotunda. 32 Quatuor quoque rotæ quæ per quatuor angulos basis erant, cohærebant sibi subter basim: una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis. 33 Tales autem rotæ erant quales solent in curru fieri: et axes earum, et radii, et canthi, et modioli, omnia fusilia. 34 Nam et humeruli illi quatuor per singulos angulos basis unius, ex ipsa basi fusiles et conjuncti erant. 35 In summitate autem basis erat quædam rotunditas dimidii cubiti, ita fabrefacta ut luter desuper posset imponi, habens cælaturas suas, variasque sculpturas ex semetipsa. 36 Sculpsit quoque in tabulatis illis quæ erant ex ære, et in angulis, cherubim, et leones, et palmas, quasi in similitudinem hominis stantis, ut non cælata, sed apposita per circuitum viderentur. 37 In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura, sculpturaque consimili. 38 Fecit quoque decem luteres æneos: quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus, eratque quatuor cubitorum: singulos quoque luteres per singulas, id est, decem bases, posuit. 39 Et constituit decem bases, quinque ad dexteram partem templi, et quinque ad sinistram: mare autem posuit ad dexteram partem templi contra orientem ad meridiem. |
40 καὶ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ συνετέλεσεν Χιραμ ποιῶν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου 41 στύλους 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 42 τὰς ῥόας τετρακοσίας ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς δικτύοις δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ περικαλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ στρεπτὰ ἐ{P'} ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς στύλοις 43 καὶ τὰς μεχωνωθ δέκα καὶ τοὺς χυτροκαύλους δέκα ἐπὶ τῶν μεχωνωθ 44 καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν καὶ τοὺς βόας δώδεκα ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης 45 καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ οἱ στῦλοι τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ οἴκου κυρίου πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ βασιλέως ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ χαλκᾶ ἄρδην οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ οὗ ἐποίησεν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα ἐκ πλήθους σφόδρα οὐκ ἦν τέρμα τῷ σταθμῷ τοῦ χαλκοῦ 46 ἐν τῷ περιοίκῳ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἀνὰ μέσον Σοκχωθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σιρα 47 | 40 Pot and shovel and bucket Hiram made, all that king Solomon needed for the service of the Lord’s temple. 41 He made the two pillars, and the chain-work for their capitals, and the net-work to cover the chain-work, 42 and four hundred pomegranates to go with the net-work, two rows of them for each piece of net-work, to adorn the capitals of the pillars, 43 ten stands, and a basin for each stand, 44 the single great basin, and the twelve oxen that supported it, 45 and pot and shovel and bucket besides. All the appurtenances of the Lord’s temple which Hiram made for Solomon were of burnished bronze, 46 and the king had them cast in the clay soil of the Jordan valley, between Socoth and Sarthan; 47 a great multitude of them, such a multitude that he did not reckon the weight of all the bronze he used. | 40 Fecit ergo Hiram lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, et perfecit omne opus regis Salomonis in templo Domini. 41 Columnas duas, et funiculos capitellorum super capitella columnarum duos: et retiacula duo, ut operirent duos funiculos qui erant super capita columnarum. 42 Et malogranata quadringenta in duobus retiaculis: duos versus malogranatorum in retiaculis singulis, ad operiendos funiculos capitellorum qui erant super capita columnarum. 43 Et bases decem, et luteres decem super bases. 44 Et mare unum, et boves duodecim subter mare. 45 Et lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, omnia vasa quæ fecit Hiram regi Salomoni in domo Domini, de auricalco erant. 46 In campestri regione Jordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra, inter Sochoth et Sarthan. 47 Et posuit Salomon omnia vasa: propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus æris. |
48 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν ἐ{F'} ἧς οἱ ἄρτοι τῆς προσφορᾶς χρυσῆν 49 καὶ τὰς λυχνίας πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ χρυσᾶς συγκλειομένας καὶ τὰ λαμπάδια καὶ τοὺς λύχνους καὶ τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας χρυσᾶς 50 καὶ τὰ πρόθυρα καὶ οἱ ἧλοι καὶ αἱ φιάλαι καὶ τὰ τρύβλια καὶ αἱ θυίσκαι χρυσαῖ σύγκλειστα καὶ τὰ θυρώματα τῶν θυρῶν τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐσωτάτου ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς 51 καὶ ἀνεπληρώθη πᾶν τὸ ἔργον ὃ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων οἴκου κυρίου καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Σαλωμων τὰ ἅγια Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅγια Σαλωμων τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἔδωκεν εἰς τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων τρισκαίδεκα ἔτεσιν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν 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 καὶ ἐφάτνωσεν τὸν οἶκον ἄνωθεν ἐπὶ τῶν πλευρῶν τῶν στύλων καὶ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στύλων τεσσαράκοντα καὶ πέντε δέκα καὶ πέντε ὁ στίχος καὶ μέλαθρα τρία καὶ χώρα ἐπὶ χώραν τρισσῶς καὶ πάντα τὰ θυρώματα καὶ αἱ χῶραι τετράγωνοι μεμελαθρωμέναι καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυρώματος ἐπὶ θύραν τρισσῶς καὶ τὸ αιλαμ τῶν στύλων πεντήκοντα πηχῶν μῆκος καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πλάτει ἐζυγωμένα αιλαμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ στῦλοι καὶ πάχος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς τοῖς αιλαμμιν καὶ τὸ αιλαμ τῶν θρόνων οὗ κρινεῖ ἐκεῖ αιλαμ τοῦ κριτηρίου καὶ οἶκος αὐτῷ ἐν ᾧ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ αὐλὴ μία ἐξελισσομένη τούτοις κατὰ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο καὶ οἶκον τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραω ἣν ἔλαβεν Σαλωμων κατὰ τὸ αιλαμ τοῦτο πάντα ταῦτα ἐκ λίθων τιμίων κεκολαμμένα ἐκ διαστήματος ἔσωθεν καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θεμελίου ἕως τῶν γεισῶν καὶ ἔξωθεν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην τὴν τεθεμελιωμένην ἐν τιμίοις λίθοις μεγάλοις λίθοις δεκαπήχεσιν καὶ τοῖς ὀκταπήχεσιν καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τιμίοις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον ἀπελεκήτων καὶ κέδροις τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς μεγάλης κύκλῳ τρεῖς στίχοι ἀπελεκήτων καὶ στίχος κεκολαμμένης κέδρου καὶ συνετέλεσεν Σαλωμων ὅλον τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ | 48 Other appurtenances, too, of the Lord’s house must Solomon make; the golden altar, and the golden table upon which the hallowed loaves were set out, 49 the golden lamp-stands, five on the right and five on the left, in front of the shrine, all of pure gold, the lily-work, and the golden lamps that rested in them; the golden tongs, 50 and pot and fork and bowl and saucer and censer, all of pure gold. Of gold, too, were the door-hinges, both for the inner sanctuary and for the temple building. 51 Thus Solomon completed all the work needed for the service of the Lord’s house; and he brought into it all the silver and gold and other ware that his father David had consecrated, laying them up among its treasures. | 48 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini: altare aureum, et mensam super quam ponerentur panes propositionis, auream: 49 et candelabra aurea, quinque ad dexteram, et quinque ad sinistram contra oraculum, ex auro puro: et quasi lilii flores, et lucernas desuper aureas: et forcipes aureos, 50 et hydrias, et fuscinulas, et phialas, et mortariola, et thuribula, de auro purissimo: et cardines ostiorum domus interioris Sancti sanctorum, et ostiorum domus templi, ex auro erant. 51 Et perfecit omne opus quod faciebat Salomon in domo Domini, et intulit quæ sanctificaverat David pater suus, argentum, et aurum, et vasa, reposuitque in thesauris domus Domini. |
[1] ‘On the base’; literally, ‘in the porch’, which is evidently meaningless. It seems probable that the word so rendered by all the translators should be interpreted ‘on their fronts’ (cf. the Hebrew text of Ps. 72.4).
[2] The two names seem to denote God-given fixity and God-given strength respectively; the exact form of them is uncertain.
[3] Here again, in verses 1-39, both the Hebrew text and the Latin versions are very obscure, and the meaning intended by either can only be a matter of conjecture.
