1 Kings 7

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 As regards his palace, Solomon spent thirteen years on it before the building was completed.	1 Domum autem suam ædificavit Salomon tredecim annis, et ad perfectum usque perduxit.
2 He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubitshigh, on four rows of cedar-wood pil ars,	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 with lengths of cedar wood laid horizontal y on the pil ars. The upper part was panel ed with cedar rightdown to the tie-beams on forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.	3 Et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram, quæ quadraginta quinque columnis sustentabatur. Unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim
4 There were three rows of window-frames, with the windows corresponding to one another at threelevels.	4 contra se invicem positas,
5 Al the doorways and windows were rectangular, with the windows corresponding to one another atthree levels.	5 et e regione se respicientes, æquali spatio inter columnas, et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis æqualia.
6 He also made the Colonnade, fifty cubits long and thirty cubits broad, with a cornice in front.	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 He also made the Hal of the Throne where he used to dispense justice, that is, the Hal of Justice; it waspanel ed in cedar from floor to beams.	7 Porticum quoque solii, in qua tribunal est, fecit : et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad summitatem.
8 His own living quarters, in the other court and inwards from the Hal , were of the same construction. Andthere was a house similar to this Hal for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken in marriage.	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 Al these buildings were of special stones cut to measure, trimmed on the inner and outer sides with thesaw, from the foundations to the coping-	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 the foundations were of special stones, huge stones, of ten and eight cubits,	10 Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis, decem sive octo cubitorum.
11 and, above these, special stones, cut to measure, and cedar wood-	11 Et desuper lapides pretiosi æqualis mensuræ secti erant, similiterque de cedro.
12 and, on the outside, the great court had three courses of dressed stone round it and one course ofcedar beams; so also had the inner court of the Temple of Yahweh and the vestibule of the Temple.	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 King Solomon sent for Hiram of Tyre;	13 Misit quoque rex Salomon, et tulit Hiram de Tyro,
14 he was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, but his father had been a Tyrian, a bronzeworker.He was a highly intel igent craftsman, skil ed in al types of bronzework. He came to King Solomon and did althis work for him.	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 He cast the two bronze pillars; the height of one pil ar was eighteen cubits, and a cord twelve cubitslong gave the measurement of its girth; so also was the second pil ar.	15 Et finxit duas columnas æreas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam : et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque.
16 He made two capitals of cast bronze for the tops of the pil ars; the height of one capital was five cubits,and the height of the other five cubits.	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 He made two sets of filigree to cover the moulding of the two capitals surmounting the pil ars, onefiligree for one capital and one filigree for the other.	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 He also made pomegranates: two rows of them round each filigree,four hundred in al ,	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 The capitals surrounding the pil ars were lily-shaped.	19 Capitella autem quæ erant super capita columnarum, quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu quatuor cubitorum.
20 applied on the raised moulding behind the filigree; there were two hundred pomegranates round onecapital and the same round the other capital.	20 Et rursum alia capitella in summitate columnarum desuper juxta mensuram columnæ contra retiacula : malogranatorum autem ducenti ordines erant in circuitu capitelli secundi.
21 He erected the pil ars in front of the portico of the Temple, he erected the right-hand pil ar and named itJachin; he erected the left-hand pil ar and named it Boaz.	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 Thus, the work on the pillars was completed.	22 Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit : perfectumque est opus columnarum.
23 He made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from rim to rim, circular in shape and five cubits high; a cordthirty cubits long gave the measurement of its girth.	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 Under its rim and completely encircling it were gourds surrounding the Sea; over a length of thirtycubits the gourds were in two rows, of one and the same casting with the rest.	24 Et sculptura subter labium circuibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare : duo ordines sculpturarum striatarum erant fusiles.
25 It rested on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, three facing east; onthese, their hindquarters al turned inwards, stood the Sea.	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 It was a hand's breadth in thickness, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, lily-shaped. It couldhold two thousand measures.	26 Grossitudo autem luteris, trium unciarum erat : labiumque ejus quasi labium calicis, et folium repandi lilii : duo millia batos capiebat.
27 He made the ten bronze stands; each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three high.	27 Et fecit decem bases æneas, quatuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas, et quatuor cubitorum latitudinis, et trium cubitorum altitudinis.
28 They were designed as fol ows; they had an undercarriage and crosspieces to the undercarriage.	28 Et ipsum opus basium, interrasile erat : et sculpturæ inter juncturas.
29 On the crosspieces of the undercarriage were lions and bul s and winged creatures, and on top of theundercarriage was a support; under the lions and oxen there were scrolls in the style of. . .	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 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles; its four feet had shoulderings under the basin,and the shoulderings were cast. . .	30 Et quatuor rotæ per bases singulas, et axes ærei : et per quatuor partes quasi humeruli subter luterem fusiles, contra se invicem respectantes.
31 Its mouth measured one and a half cubits from where the shoulderings met to the top; its mouth wasround like a stand for a vessel, and on the mouth there were engravings too; the crosspieces, however, wererectangular and not round.	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 The four wheels were under the crosspieces. The axles of the wheels were inside the stands; theheight of the wheels was one and a half cubits.	32 Quatuor quoque rotæ quæ per quatuor angulos basis erant, cohærebant sibi subter basim : una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis.
33 The wheels were designed like chariot wheels: their axles, felloes, spokes and naves had al been cast.	33 Tales autem rotæ erant quales solent in curru fieri : et axes earum, et radii, et canthi, et modioli, omnia fusilia.
34 There were four shoulderings at the four corners of each stand: the stand and the shoulderings were alof a piece.	34 Nam et humeruli illi quatuor per singulos angulos basis unius, ex ipsa basi fusiles et conjuncti erant.
35 At the top of the stand there was a support, circular in shape and half a cubit high; and on top of thestand there were lugs. The crosspieces were of a piece with the stand.	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 On the bands he engraved winged creatures and lions and palm leaves. . . and scrol s right round.	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 He made the ten stands like this: the same casting and the same measurements for all.	37 In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura, sculpturaque consimili.
38 He made ten bronze basins; each basin held forty measures and each basin measured four cubits, onebasin to each of the ten stands.	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 He arranged the stands, five on the right-hand side of the Temple, five on the left-hand side of theTemple; the Sea he placed on the right-hand side of the Temple, to the south east.	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 Hiram made the ash containers, the scoops and the sprinkling bowls. He finished all the work that hedid for King Solomon on the Temple of Yahweh:	40 Fecit ergo Hiram lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, et perfecit omne opus regis Salomonis in templo Domini.
41 Two pil ars; the two mouldings of the capitals surrounding the pil ars; the two sets of filigree to coverthe two mouldings of the capitals surmounting the pil ars;	41 Columnas duas, et funiculos capitellorum super capitella columnarum duos : et retiacula duo, ut operirent duos funiculos qui erant super capita columnarum.
42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of filigree -- two rows of pomegranates for each set offiligree;	42 Et malogranata quadringenta in duobus retiaculis : duos versus malogranatorum in retiaculis singulis, ad operiendos funiculos capitellorum qui erant super capita columnarum.
43 the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;	43 Et bases decem, et luteres decem super bases.
44 the one Sea and the twelve oxen beneath the Sea;	44 Et mare unum, et boves duodecim subter mare.
45 the ash containers, the scoops, and sprinkling bowls. All these objects made by Hiram for KingSolomon for the Temple of Yahweh were of burnished bronze.	45 Et lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, omnia vasa quæ fecit Hiram regi Salomoni in domo Domini, de auricalco erant.
46 He made them by the process of sand casting, in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth andZarethan.	46 In campestri regione Jordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra, inter Sochoth et Sarthan.
47 There were so many of them, that the weight of the bronze was never calculated.	47 Et posuit Salomon omnia vasa : propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus æris.
48 Solomon made all the objects designed for the Temple of Yahweh: the golden altar and the gold tablefor the loaves of permanent offering;	48 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini : altare aureum, et mensam super quam ponerentur panes propositionis, auream :
49 the lamp-stands, five on the right and five on the left in front of the Debir, of pure gold; the floral work,the lamps, the tongs, of gold;	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 the basins, the snuffers, the sprinkling bowls, the incense ladles and the pans, of real gold; the doorpanels -- for the inner shrine -- that is, the Holy of Holies -- and for the Hekal, of gold.	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 Thus al the work done by King Solomon for the Temple of Yahweh was completed, and Solomonbrought in the gifts which his father David had consecrated; and he had the silver, the gold and the utensils putinto the treasuries of the Temple of Yahweh.	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.
