NEW AMERICAN BIBLEVULGATA
1 Then he brought me to the nave and measured the pilasters, which were six cubits thick on either side.1 Et introduxit me in templum, et mensus est frontes : sex cubitos latitudinis hinc, et sex cubitos latitudinis inde, latitudinem tabernaculi.
2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the walls at either side of it measured five cubits each. He measured the length of the nave, which was found to be forty cubits, while its width was twenty.2 Et latitudo portæ decem cubitorum erat : et latera portæ, quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde : et mensus est longitudinem ejus quadraginta cubitorum, et latitudinem viginti cubitorum.
3 Then he went in beyond and measured the pilasters flanking that entrance, which were two cubits; the width of the entrance was six cubits, and the walls at either side of it extended seven cubits each.3 Et introgressus intrinsecus, mensus est in fronte portæ duos cubitos : et portam, sex cubitorum : et latitudinem portæ septem cubitorum.
4 He measured the space beyond the nave, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, and said to me, "This is the holy of holies."4 Et mensus est longitudinem ejus viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem ejus viginti cubitorum, ante faciem templi. Et dixit ad me : Hoc est Sanctum sanctorum.
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple, which was six cubits thick; the side chambers, which extended all the way around the temple, had a width of four cubits.5 Et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum : et latitudinem lateris quatuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus.
6 There were thirty side chambers built one above the other in three stories, and there were offsets in the outside wall of the temple that enclosed the side chambers; these served as supports, so that there were no supports in the temple wall proper.6 Latera autem, latus ad latus, bis triginta tria : et erant eminentia, quæ ingrederentur per parietem domus, in lateribus per circuitum, ut continerent, et non attingerent parietem templi.
7 There was a broad circular passageway that led upward to the side chambers, for the temple was enclosed all the way around and all the way upward; therefore the temple had a broad way running upward so that one could pass from the lowest to the middle and the highest story.7 Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in cœnaculum templi deferebat per gyrum : idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus : et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium.
8 About the temple was a raised pavement completely enclosing it--the foundations of the side chambers--a full rod of six cubits in extent.8 Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio :
9 The width of the outside wall which enclosed the side chambers was five cubits. Between the side chambers of the temple9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum : et erat interior domus in lateribus domus.
10 and the chambers of the court was an open space twenty cubits wide going all around the temple.10 Et inter gazophylacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique,
11 The side chambers had entrances to the open space, one entrance on the north and another on the south. The width of the wall surrounding the open space was five cubits.11 et ostium lateris ad orationem : ostium unum ad viam aquilonis, et ostium unum ad viam australem : et latitudinem loci ad orationem, quinque cubitorum in circuitu.
12 The building fronting the free area on the west side was seventy cubits front to back; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and it measured ninety cubits from side to side.12 Et ædificium, quod erat separatum, versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum : paries autem ædificii, quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum : et longitudo ejus nonaginta cubitorum.
13 He measured the temple, which was one hundred cubits long. The free area, together with the building and its walls, was a hundred cubits in length.13 Et mensus est domus longitudinem, centum cubitorum : et quod separatum erat ædificium, et parietes ejus, longitudinis centum cubitorum.
14 The facade of the temple, along with the free area, on the east side, was one hundred cubits wide.14 Latitudo autem ante faciem domus, et ejus quod erat separatum contra orientem, centum cubitorum.
15 He measured the building which lay the length of the free area and behind it, and together with its walls on both sides it was one hundred cubits. The inner nave and the outer vestibule15 Et mensus est longitudinem ædificii contra faciem ejus, quod erat separatum ad dorsum : ethecas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum : et templum interius, et vestibula atrii.
16 were paneled with precious wood all around, covered from the ground to the windows. There were splayed windows with trellises about them (facing the threshold).16 Limina, et fenestras obliquas, et ethecas in circuitu per tres partes, contra uniuscujusque limen, stratumque ligno per gyrum in circuitu : terra autem usque ad fenestras, et fenestræ clausæ super ostia.
17 As high as the lintel of the door, even into the interior part of the temple as well as outside, on every wall on every side in both the inner and outer rooms were carved17 Et usque ad domum interiorem, et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu, intrinsecus et forinsecus, ad mensuram.
18 the figures of cherubim and palmtrees: a palmtree between every two cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:18 Et fabrefacta cherubim et palmæ : et palma inter cherub et cherub, duasque facies habebat cherub.
19 a man's face looking at a palmtree on one side, and a lion's face looking at a palmtree on the other; thus they were figured on every side throughout the whole temple.19 Faciem hominis juxta palmam ex hac parte, et faciem leonis juxta palmam ex alia parte : expressam per omnem domum in circuitu.
20 From the ground to the lintel of the door the cherubim and palmtrees were carved on the walls.20 De terra usque ad superiora portæ, cherubim et palmæ cælatæ erant in pariete templi.
21 The way into the nave was a square doorframe. In front of the holy place was something that looked like21 Limen quadrangulum, et facies sanctuarii, aspectus contra aspectum.
22 a wooden altar, three cubits in height, two cubits long, and two cubits wide. It had corners, and its base and sides were of wood. He said to me, "This is the table which is before the LORD."22 Altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo, et longitudo ejus duorum cubitorum : et anguli ejus, et longitudo ejus, et parietes ejus lignei. Et locutus est ad me : Hæc est mensa coram Domino.
23 The nave had a double door, and also the holy place had23 Et duo ostia erant in templo et in sanctuario.
24 a double door. Each door had two movable leaves; two leaves were on one doorjamb and two on the other.24 Et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola quæ in se invicem plicabantur : bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum.
25 Carved upon them (on the doors of the nave) were cherubim and palmtrees, like those carved on the walls. Before the vestibule outside was a wooden lattice.25 Et cælata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim, et sculpturæ palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressæ erant : quam ob rem et grossiora erant ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus.
26 There were splayed windows (and palmtrees) on both side walls of the vestibule, and the side chambers of the temple. . . .26 Super quæ fenestræ obliquæ, et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in humerulis vestibuli, secundum latera domus, latitudinemque parietum.
