1
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ τεσσαρακοστῷ καὶ τετρακοσιοστῷ ἔτει τῆς ἐξόδου υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ ἐν μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ βασιλεύοντος τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ,
καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς ἵνα ἄρωσι λίθους μεγάλους τιμίους εἰς τὸν θεμέλιον τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ λίθους ἀπελεκήτους.
Καὶ ἐπελέκησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Σαλωμὼν, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Χιρὰμ, καὶ ἔβαλαν αὐτούς.
Ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῷ ἐθεμελίωσε τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐν μηνὶ Ζιοῦ, καὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ μηνί.
Ἐν ἑνδεκάτῳ ἐνιαυτῷ, ἐν μηνὶ Βαὰλ, οὗτος ὁ μὴν ὁ ὄγδοος, συνετελέσθη ὁ οἶκος εἰς πάντα λόγον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς πᾶσαν διάταξιν αὐτοῦ.
2
And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
Καὶ ὁ οἶκος ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ, τεσσαράκοντα ἐν πήχει μῆκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴκοσι ἐν πήχει πλάτος αὐτοῦ, καὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ·
3
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
Καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ναοῦ, εἴκοσι ἐν πήχει μῆκος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πλάτος τοῦ οἴκου, κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὸν οἶκον, καὶ συνετέλεσεν αὐτόν.
4
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
Καὶ ἐποίησε τῷ οἴκῳ θυρίδας παρακυπτομένας κρυπτάς.
5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
Καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον τοῦ οἴκου μέλαθρα κυκλόθεν τῷ ναῷ καὶ τῷ δαβίρ.
6
The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
Ἡ πλευρὰ ἡ ὑποκάτω πέντε πήχεων ἐν πήχει τὸ πλάτος αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ μέσον ἓξ, καὶ ἡ τρίτη ἑπτὰ ἐν πήχει τὸ πλάτος αὐτῆς· ὅτι διάστημα ἔδωκε τῷ οἴκῳ κυκλόθεν ἔξωθεν τοῦ οἴκου, ὅπως μὴ ἐπιλαμβάνωνται τῶν τοίχων τοῦ οἴκου.
7
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Καὶ ὁ οἴκος ἐν τῷ οἰκοδομεῖσθαι αὐτὸν λίθοις ἀκροτομοις ἀργοῖς ᾠκοδομήθη· καὶ σφύρα καὶ πέλεκυς καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος σιδηροῦν οὐκ ἠκούσθη ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ἐν τῷ οἰκοδομεῖσθαι αὐτόν.
8
The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
Καὶ ὁ πυλὼν τῆς πλευρᾶς τῆς ὑποκάτωθεν ὑπὸ τὴν ὠμίαν τοῦ οἴκου τὴν δεξιὰν, καὶ ἑλικτὴ ἀνάβασις εἰς τὸ μέσον, καὶ ἐκ τῆς μέσης ἐπὶ τὸ τριόροφα.
9
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὸν οἶκον καὶ συνετέλεσεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐκοιλοστάθμησε τὸν οἶκον κέδροις.
10
And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τοὺς ἐνδέσμους, διʼ ὅλου τοῦ οἴκου πέντε ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνέσχε τὸν σύνδεσμον ἐν ξύλοις κεδρίνοις.
11
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
—
12
Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
—
13
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
—
14
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
—
15
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τοὺς τοίχους τοῦ οἴκου ἔσωθεν διὰ ξύλων κεδρίνων ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐδάφους τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἕως τῶν τοίχων καὶ ἕως τῶν δοκῶν· ἐκοιλοστάθμησε συνεχόμενα ξύλοις ἔσωθεν· καὶ περιέσχε τὸ ἔσω τοῦ οἴκου ἐν πλευραῖς πευκίναις.
16
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τοὺς εἴκοσι πήχεις ἀπʼ ἄκρου τοῦ τοίχου τὸ πλευρὸν τὸ ἓν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐδάφους ἕως τῶν δοκῶν· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκ τοῦ δαβὶρ εἰς τὸ ἁγιον τῶν ἁγίων.
17
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Καὶ τεσσαράκοντα πήχεων ἦν ὁ ναὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβὶρ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου ἔσωθεν,
18
And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
—
19
And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
δοῦναι ἐκεῖ τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου.
20
And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
Εἴκοσι πήχεις μῆκος, καὶ εἴκοσι πήχεις πλάτος, καὶ εἴκοσι πήχεις τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ· Καὶ περιέσχεν αὐτὸ χρυσίῳ συγκεκλεισμένῳ· καὶ ἐποίησε θυσιαστήριον
21
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβὶρ, καὶ περιέσχεν αὐτὸ χρυσίῳ.
22
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
Καὶ ὅλον τὸν οἶκον περιέσχε χρυσίῳ, ἕως συντελείας παντὸς τοῦ οἴκου.
23
And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
Καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ δαβὶρ δύο χερουβὶμ δέκα πήχεων μέγεθος ἐσταθμωμένον·
24
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
Καὶ πέντε πήχεων πτερύγιον τοῦ χερουβὶμ τοῦ ἑνὸς, καὶ πέντε πήχεων πτερύγιον αὐτοῦ τὸ δεύτερον, ἐν πήχει δέκα ἀπὸ μέρους πτερυγίου αὐτοῦ εἰς μέρος πτερυγίου αὐτοῦ.
25
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
Οὕτως τῷ χερουβὶμ τῷ δευτέρῳ, ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνὶ συντέλεια μία ἀμφοτέροις.
26
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
Καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ χερουβὶμ τοῦ ἑνὸς δέκα ἐν πήχει· καὶ οὕτω τῷ χερουβὶμ τῷ δευτέρῳ.
27
And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
Καὶ ἀμφότερα χερουβὶμ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐσωτάτου· καὶ διεπέτασε τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἥπτετο πτέρυξ μία τοῦ τοίχου, καὶ πτέρυξ χερουβὶμ τοῦ δευτέρου ἥπτετο τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ δευτέρου· καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου ἥπτοντο πτέρυξ πτέρυγος.
28
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
Καὶ περιέσχε τὰ χερουβὶμ χρυσίῳ.
29
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
Πάντας τοὺς τοίχους τοῦ οἴκου κύκλῳ ἐγκολαπτὰ ἔγραψε γραφίδι χερουβὶμ, καὶ φοίνικας τῷ ἐσωτέρῳ καὶ τῷ ἐξωτέρῳ.
30
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
Καὶ τὸ ἔδαφος τοῦ οἴκου περιέσχε χρυσίῳ τοῦ ἐσωτάτου καὶ τοῦ ἐξωτάτου.
31
And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Καὶ τῷ θυρώματι τοῦ δαβὶρ ἐποίησε θύρας ξύλων ἀρκευθίνων, στοαὶ τετραπλῶς,
32
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
—
33
So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
—
34
And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
ἐν ἀμφοτέραις ταῖς θύραις ξύλα πεύκινα· δύο πτυχαὶ ἡ θύρα ἡ μία καὶ στροφεῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ δύο πτυχαὶ ἡ θύρα ἡ δευτέρα στρεφόμενα ἐγκεκολαμμένα χερουβὶμ,
35
And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
καὶ φοίνικες, καὶ διαπεπετασμένα πέταλα, καὶ περιεχόμενα χρυσίῳ καταγομένῳ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐκτύπωσιν.
36
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτάτην· τρεῖς στίχους ἀπελεκήτων, καὶ στίχος κατειργασμένης κέδρου κυκλόθεν·
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὸ καταπέτασμα τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ αἰλὰμ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ναοῦ.
37
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Zif:
—
38
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
