Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition NOVA VULGATA
1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house.1 Domum autem suam aedificavit Salomon tredecim annis et ad perfectum usque perduxit.
2 He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, and it was built upon three rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.2 Aedificavit quoque domum Saltus Libani centum cubitorum longitudinis et quinquaginta cubitorum latitudinis et triginta cubitorum altitudinis super quattuor ordines columnarum cedrinarum, et ligna cedrina super columnas.
3 And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were upon the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.3 Et erat tectum cedrinum in alto super tabulas quadraginta quinque, quae erant super columnas, quindecim in uno ordine,
4 There were window frames in three rows, and window opposite window in three tiers.4 et marginum tres ordines, fenestra iuxta fenestram tribus vicibus.
5 All the doorways and windows had square frames, and window was opposite window in three tiers.5 Ostia, id est postes, habebant quadruplicem marginem.
6 And he made the Hall of Pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; there was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy before them.6 Et porticum columnarum fecit quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinis et triginta cubitorum latitudinis, et alteram porticum in facie maioris porticus et columnas et cancellos ante eas.
7 And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment, even the Hall of Judgment; it was finished with cedar from floor to rafters.7 Porticum quoque solii, in qua tribunal erat, fecit et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad pavimentum.
8 His own house where he was to dwell, in the other court back of the hall, was of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken in marriage.8 Et domus, in qua habitabat, erat in altero atrio intro a porticu et simili opere. Domum quoque fecit filiae pharaonis, quam uxorem duxerat Salomon, tali opere quali et hanc porticum.
9 All these were made of costly stones, hewn according to measure, sawed with saws, back and front, even from the foundation to the coping, and from the court of the house of the LORD to the great court.9 Omnia lapidibus pretiosis, qui ad normam quandam atque mensuram tam intrinsecus quam extrinsecus serrati erant, a fundamento usque ad summitatem parietum, et extrinsecus usque ad atrium maius.
10 The foundation was of costly stones, huge stones, stones of eight and ten cubits.10 Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis decem sive octo cubitorum.
11 And above were costly stones, hewn according to measurement, and cedar.11 Et desuper lapides pretiosi secundum mensuram secti et ligna cedrina.
12 The great court had three courses of hewn stone round about, and a course of cedar beams; so had the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the vestibule of the house.12 Et atrium maius in circuitu habebat tres ordines de lapidibus sectis et unum ordinem de dolata cedro; necnon et atrium domus Domini interius et porticus domus.
13 And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.13 Misit quoque rex Salomon et tulit Hiram de Tyro,
14 He 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 full of wisdom, understanding, and skill, for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon, and did all his work.14 filium mulieris viduae de tribu Nephthali, patre Tyrio, artificem aerarium et plenum sapientia et intellegentia et doctrina ad faciendum omne opus ex aere. Qui, cum venisset ad regem Salomonem, fecit omne opus eius.
15 He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference; it was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers; the second pillar was the same.15 Et finxit duas columnas aereas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam, et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam, et grossitudo eius quattuor digitorum, et intrinsecus cava erat; sic et columna altera.
16 He also made two capitals of molten bronze, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.16 Duo quoque capitella fecit, quae ponerentur super capita columnarum, fusili aere; quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum unum et quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum alterum,
17 Then he made two nets of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals upon the tops of the pillars; a net for the one capital, and a net for the other capital.17 et serta quasi in modum texturae, fimbriae in modum catenarum sibi invicem miro opere contextarum in capitellis, quae erant super caput columnarum, septem in capitello uno et septem in capitello altero.
18 Likewise he made pomegranates; in two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capital that was upon the top of the pillar; and he did the same with the other capital.18 Et fecit malogranatorum duos ordines per circuitum super sertum unum, ut tegerent capitella, quae erant super summitatem columnarum; eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo.
19 Now the capitals that were upon the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits.19 Capitella autem, quae erant super capita columnarum, quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu, quattuor cubitorum.
20 The capitals were upon the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the network; there were two hundred pomegranates, in two rows round about; and so with the other capital.20 Et rursum alia capitella in summitate duarum columnarum etiam desuper, iuxta alvum, quae erat super sertum. Malogranatorum autem ducentorum duo ordines erant in circuitu capitelli primi et eodem modo in circuitu capitelli secundi.
21 He set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin; and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Boaz.21 Et statuit duas columnas in porticum templi; cumque statuisset columnam dexteram, vocavit eam nomine Iachin, similiter erexit columnam sinistram et vocavit nomen eius Booz.
22 And upon the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.22 Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit; per fectumque est opus columnarum.
23 Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.23 Fecit quoque mare fusile decem cubitorum a labio usque ad labium, rotundum in circuitu, quinque cubitorum altitudo eius; et resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud per circuitum.
24 Under its brim were gourds, for thirty cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.24 Et scalptura colocynthidum subter labium circuibat illud, duo ordines scalpturarum fusilium in una fusione cum mari.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was set upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.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 Its thickness was a handbreadth; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held two thousand baths.26 Grossitudo autem luteris habebat mensuram palmi, labiumque eius erat quasi labium calicis et folium repandi lilii; duo milia batos capiebat.
27 He also made the ten stands of bronze; each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.27 Et fecit bases decem aereas, quattuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas et quattuor cubitorum latitudinis et trium cubitorum altitudinis.
28 This was the construction of the stands: they had panels, and the panels were set in the frames28 Hoc autem erat opus basium: limbos habebant, insuper et limbos inter columellas.
29 and on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Upon the frames, both above and below the lions and oxen, there were wreaths of beveled work.29 Super limbos inter columellas erant leones et boves et cherubim, et super columellas similiter; supra et infra leones et boves erant coronae, opus malleatum.
30 Moreover each stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze; and at the four corners were supports for a laver. The supports were cast, with wreaths at the side of each.30 Et quattuor rotae per bases singulas et axes aerei, et quattuor pedes et quasi umeruli subter luterem fusiles, contra singulos coronae.
31 Its opening was within a crown which projected upward one cubit; its opening was round, as a pedestal is made, a cubit and a half deep. At its opening there were carvings; and its panels were square, not round.31 Et os eius erat rotundum, opus basis, unius cubiti et dimidii; etiam in ore eius variae caelaturae erant, limbi autem eius erant quadrati, non rotundi.
32 And the four wheels were underneath the panels; the axles of the wheels were of one piece with the stands; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.32 Quattuor quoque rotae subter limbis erant, et fulcra rotarum cohaerebant basi; una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis.
33 The wheels were made like a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs, were all cast.33 Tales autem rotae erant, quales solent in curru fieri, et fulcra earum et canthi et radii et modioli, omnia fusilia.
34 There were four supports at the four corners of each stand; the supports were of one piece with the stands.34 Nam et umeruli illi quattuor per singulos angulos basis unius ex ipsa basi fusiles et coniuncti erant.
35 And on the top of the stand there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the stand its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.35 In summitate autem basis erat quaedam rotunditas dimidii cubiti, et in summitate basis fulcra eius et limbi eius ex semetipsa.
36 And on the surfaces of its stays and on its panels, he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.36 Scalpsit quoque in tabulatis illis, fulcris eius et super limbos eius cherubim et leones et palmas secundum vacuum singulorum, et coronas per circuitum.
37 After this manner he made the ten stands; all of them were cast alike, of the same measure and the same form.37 In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura scalpturaque consimili.
38 And he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver held forty baths, each laver measured four cubits, and there was a laver for each of the ten stands.38 Fecit quoque decem luteres aereos; quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus, eratque quattuor cubitorum; singulosque luteres per singulas, id est decem bases posuit.
39 And he set the stands, five on the south side of the house, and five on the north side of the house; and he set the sea on the southeast corner of the house.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 also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the LORD:40 Fecit quoque Hiram lebetes et vatilla et phialas et perfecit omne opus regi Salomoni in templo Domini;
41 the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars;41 columnas duas et globos capitellorum super capita columnarum duos et serta duo, ut operirent duos globos, qui erant super capita columnarum;
42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;42 et malogranata quadringenta in duobus sertis, duos versus malogranatorum in sertis singulis, ad operiendos globos capitellorum, qui erant super faciem columnarum;
43 the ten stands, and the ten lavers upon the stands;43 et bases decem et luteres decem super bases
44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath the sea.44 et mare unum et boves duodecim subter mare;
45 Now the pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the LORD, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze.45 et lebetes et vatilla et phialas. Omnia vasa, quae fecit Hiram regi Salomoni in domo Domini, de aere polito erant.
46 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.46 In campestri regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Succoth et Sarthan.
47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; the weight of the bronze was not found out.47 Et posuit Salomon omnia vasa; propter multitudinem autem nimiam ignorabatur pondus aeris.
48 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, the golden table for the bread of the Presence,48 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini: altare aureum et mensam, super quam ponerentur panes propositionis, auream;
49 the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;49 et candelabra, quinque ad dexteram et quinque ad sinistram contra Dabir, ex auro puro, et florem et lucernas desuper aureas; et forcipes aureos
50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold; and the sockets of gold, for the doors of the innermost part of the house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple.50 et pateras et cultros et phialas et sartagines et turibula de auro purissimo; et cardines ostiorum domus interioris Sancti sanctorum et ostiorum domus templi ex auro.
51 Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.51 Et perfecit omne opus, quod faciebat Salomon in domo Domini, et intulit Salomon, quae sanctificaverat David pater suus, argentum et aurum et vasa, reposuitque in thesauris domus Domini.
