| 1 Salomón edificó su palacio en trece años y lo concluyó en su totalidad. | 1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house. |
| 2 Construyó la sala del «Bosque del Líbano», de cien codos de longitud, cincuenta de anchura y treinta de altura, sobre cuatro hileras de columnas y vigas de cedro que reposaban sobre aquellas. | 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. |
| 3 Un artesonado de cedro reposaba sobre los travesaños que apoyaban sobre las columnas; cuarenta y cinco, en total, quince por cada fila. | 3 And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were upon the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row. |
| 4 Había tres líneas de ventanas con celosía, unas frente a otras y de tres en tres. | 4 There were window frames in three rows, and window opposite window in three tiers. |
| 5 Todas las puertas y montantes eran cuadrangulares, unas frente a otras, de tres en tres. | 5 All the doorways and windows had square frames, and window was opposite window in three tiers. |
| 6 Levantó el Pórtico de las columnas de cincuenta codos de longitud y treinta de anchura; estaba este en frente de las columnas y las había con un dosel en frente. | 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. |
| 7 Erigió el Salón del trono o de la audiencia, donde administraba justicia (estaba recubierto de cedro desde el suelo hasta las vigas). | 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. |
| 8 El edificio donde residía, en otro patio dentro del pórtico, tenía la misma estructura. Mandó construir también otro edificio como este pórtico para la hija del faraón que Salomón había tomado por esposa. | 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. |
| 9 Todo era de piedras selectas, talladas a medida, cortadas con sierra por el lado exterior y por el interior, de los cimientos a las cornisas y en el exterior hasta el patio principal. | 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. |
| 10 Los cimientos estaban construidos con piedras de calidad, grandes piedras, de diez y de ocho codos, | 10 The foundation was of costly stones, huge stones, stones of eight and ten cubits. |
| 11 y encima piedras escogidas, talladas a medida, y madera de cedro. | 11 And above were costly stones, hewn according to measurement, and cedar. |
| 12 En el exterior, el patio principal tenía en torno tres filas de piedras talladas y una de vigas de cedro, al igual que el interior del templo del Señor o el pórtico de palacio. | 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. |
| 13 El rey Salomón mandó que buscaran y trajeran a Jirán de Tiro. | 13 And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. |
| 14 Este era hijo de una viuda de la tribu de Neftalí; su padre había sido un tirio, artesano del cobre. Se hallaba dotado de conocimiento, pericia y suma habilidad para ejecutar cualquier trabajo en bronce. Se presentó ante el rey y llevó a cabo todo lo encomendado. | 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. |
| 15 Así, fundió las dos columnas de bronce. Una de ellas medía dieciocho codos de altura y doce de circunferencia; lo mismo la otra. | 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. |
| 16 Esculpió ambos capiteles de bronce fundido de cinco codos de altura cada uno, con objeto de situarlos sobre lo alto de las columnas. | 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. |
| 17 Figuró dos encajes y dos trenzados a modo de cadenas para los capiteles en lo alto de las columnas; un trenzado para cada capitel, | 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. |
| 18 con dos hileras de granadas alrededor de cada trenzado. | 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. |
| 19 Los capiteles posados sobre lo alto de las columnas tenían forma de azucenas (cuatrocientas en total, | 19 Now the capitals that were upon the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits. |
| 20 colocadas sobre la moldura situada detrás del trenzado y doscientas granadas alrededor de cada capitel). | 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. |
| 21 Erigió las columnas ante el pórtico de la nave. Alzando la columna de la derecha, la llamó Yaquín; luego elevó la de la izquierda y la denominó Boaz. | 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. |
| 22 Los capiteles que estaban en lo alto de las columnas tenían forma de azucena. Así concluyó el trabajo de las columnas. | 22 And upon the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished. |
| 23 Fundió el mar de metal que medía diez codos de diámetro, cinco de altura y treinta de circunferencia. | 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. |
| 24 Debajo del borde había calabazas todo alrededor, dando vuelta al mar a lo largo de treinta codos, había dos filas de calabazas fundidas en una sola pieza. | 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. |
| 25 Reposaba sobre doce bueyes, tres mirando al Norte, tres al Oeste, tres al Sur y tres al Este. Sobre ellos se asentaba el mar, quedando hacia el interior las partes traseras de los bueyes. | 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. |
| 26 Tenían un palmo de espesor y el borde era como el del cáliz de la flor de azucena; tenían una capacidad de dos mil medidas. | 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. |
| 27 Fundió también las diez basas de bronce de cuatro codos de largo cada una, cuatro de ancho y tres de alto. | 27 He also made the ten stands of bronze; each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high. |
| 28 La estructura de las basas era de paneles situados entre listones. | 28 This was the construction of the stands: they had panels, and the panels were set in the frames |
| 29 Sobre el panel y los listones había leones, bueyes y querubines. Por encima y por debajo de los leones y de los toros se aparecían volutas de metal labrado. | 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. |
| 30 Cada basa tenía cuatro ruedas de bronce y ejes de bronce; sus cuatro pies disponían de asas debajo de la pila y los apliques estaban fundidos… | 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. |
| 31 Su boca, desde el interior de las asas hasta arriba, tenía un codo; era esta redonda, teniendo un soporte de codo y medio; sobre ella se levantaban también esculturas, pero los paneles eran cuadrados, no redondos. | 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. |
| 32 Las cuatro ruedas se hallaban bajo los paneles y los ejes de las ruedas en la basa; la altura de cada una de ellas era de codo y medio; | 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. |
| 33 la forma como la de la rueda de un carro; sus ejes, llantas, radios y cubos, todo era de metal fundido. | 33 The wheels were made like a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs, were all cast. |
| 34 Se encontraban en los cuatro ángulos de cada basa y cada una de aquellas formaba un cuerpo con su propia asa. | 34 There were four supports at the four corners of each stand; the supports were of one piece with the stands. |
| 35 En la cima de la basa había un soporte de medio codo de altura completamente redondo y en la misma cima los ejes y el armazón formaban un cuerpo con ella. | 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. |
| 36 Sobre las tablas grabó querubines, leones, palmeras… y volutas alrededor. | 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. |
| 37 Construyó las diez basas de este modo: misma fundición y mismo tamaño para todas. | 37 After this manner he made the ten stands; all of them were cast alike, of the same measure and the same form. |
| 38 Mandó fundir diez pilas de bronce de cuarenta medidas cada una. Cada pila medía cuatro codos y había una sobre cada una de las diez basas. | 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. |
| 39 Luego colocó las basas, cinco al lado derecho y cinco al lado izquierdo del templo. El mar lo situó en el lado derecho del templo hacia el Sureste. | 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. |
| 40 Jirán esculpió los ceniceros, las paletas y los acetres. Concluyó él toda la obra que el rey Salomón le encargó que hiciera para el templo del Señor: | 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: |
| 41 dos columnas, las molduras de los capiteles de la cima de las dos columnas, los dos trenzados para recubrir las dos molduras de los capiteles de la cima de las columnas; | 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; |
| 42 las cuatrocientas granadas para los dos trenzados; las dos filas de granadas para cada trenzado; | 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; |
| 43 las diez basas y pilas sobre las basas; | 43 the ten stands, and the ten lavers upon the stands; |
| 44 el mar y los doce bueyes bajo el mar; | 44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath the sea. |
| 45 los ceniceros, las paletas y los acetres.Todos estos objetos que Jirán hizo al rey Salomón para el templo del Señor eran de bronce bruñido. | 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. |
| 46 El rey los hizo fundir en la vega del Jordán, entre Sucot y Sartán, en moldes de tierra; | 46 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. |
| 47 en cantidad tan enorme que no era posible calcular el peso del bronce. | 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; the weight of the bronze was not found out. |
| 48 Salomón hizo construir todos los objetos que había en el templo del Señor; el altar, que era de oro; la mesa sobre la que se disponían los panes presentados, también de oro; | 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, |
| 49 los candelabros de delante del santuario: cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda, asimismo de oro fino; las flores, lámparas y despabiladeras, de oro; | 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; |
| 50 las cucharas, cuchillos, acetres, copas y braseros, de oro fino; los goznes para las puertas del santuario interior, el Santo de los Santos, y para las de la nave del templo, en oro también. | 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. |
| 51 Cuando se hubo completado toda la obra que Salomón había llevado a cabo en el templo del Señor, el rey hizo traer todo lo consagrado por David su padre, la plata, el oro y los objetos, para depositarlo entre los tesoros del templo del Señor. | 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. |
