Chapter Text

1

He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.

Fecit quoque altare æneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον χαλκοῦν πήχεων εἴκοσι μῆκος καὶ τὸ εὖρος πήχεων εἴκοσι ὕψος πήχεων δέκα

2

Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

Mare etiam fusile decem cubitis a labio usque ad labium, rotundum per circuitum : quinque cubitos habebat altitudinis, et funiculus triginta cubitorum ambiebat gyrum ejus.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὴν θάλασσαν χυτήν πήχεων δέκα τὴν διαμέτρησιν στρογγύλην κυκλόθεν καὶ πήχεων πέντε τὸ ὕψος καὶ τὸ κύκλωμα πήχεων τριάκοντα

3

And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were with two rows.

Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis quædam extrinsecus cælaturæ, quasi duobus versibus alvum maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles:

καὶ ὁμοίωμα μόσχων ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτῆς κύκλῳ κυκλοῦσιν αὐτήν πήχεις δέκα περιέχουσιν τὸν λουτῆρα κυκλόθεν δύο γένη ἐχώνευσαν τοὺς μόσχους ἐν τῇ χωνεύσει αὐτῶν

4

And the oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder parts of the oxen were inward under the sea.

et ipsum mare super duodecim boves impositum erat, quorum tres respiciebant ad aquilonem, et alii tres ad occidentem : porro tres alii meridiem, et tres qui reliqui erant, orientem, habentes mare superpositum : posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.

ᾗ ἐποίησαν αὐτούς δώδεκα μόσχους οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες βορρᾶν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες δυσμὰς καὶ οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες νότον καὶ οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες κατ' ἀνατολάς καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἐπ' αὐτῶν ἄνω ἦσαν τὰ ὀπίσθια αὐτῶν ἔσω

5

Now the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped lily: and it held three thousand measures.

Porro vastitas ejus habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii : capiebatque tria millia metretas.

καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτῆς παλαιστής καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς χεῖλος ποτηρίου διαγεγλυμμένα βλαστοὺς κρίνου χωροῦσαν μετρητὰς τρισχιλίους καὶ ἐξετέλεσεν

6

He made also ten lavers: and he set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they were to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

Fecit quoque conchas decem : et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia quæ in holocaustum oblaturi erant : porro in mari sacerdotes lavabantur.

καὶ ἐποίησεν λουτῆρας δέκα καὶ ἔθηκεν τοὺς πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ τοὺς πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν τοῦ πλύνειν ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ ἀποκλύζειν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἡ θάλασσα εἰς τὸ νίπτεσθαι τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐν αὐτῇ

7

And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem qua jussa erant fieri : et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὰς λυχνίας τὰς χρυσᾶς δέκα κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν

8

Moreover also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold.

Necnon et mensas decem : et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris : phialas quoque aureas centum.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τραπέζας δέκα καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ εὐωνύμων καὶ ἐποίησεν φιάλας χρυσᾶς ἑκατόν

9

He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.

Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem : et ostia in basilica, quæ texit ære.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην καὶ θύρας τῇ αὐλῇ καὶ θυρώματα αὐτῶν κατακεχαλκωμένα χαλκῷ

10

And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south.

Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra orientem ad meridiem.

καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἔθηκεν ἀπὸ γωνίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν ὡς πρὸς ἀνατολὰς κατέναντι

11

And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king's work the house of God:

Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas : et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:

καὶ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα καὶ τὴν ἐσχάραν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ καὶ συνετέλεσεν Χιραμ ποιῆσαι πᾶσαν τὴν ἐργασίαν ἣν ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ

12

That is to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.

hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quædam retiacula, quæ capita tegerent super epistylia.

στύλους δύο καὶ ἐπ' αὐτῶν γωλαθ τῇ χωθαρεθ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων δύο καὶ δίκτυα δύο συγκαλύψαι τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν χωθαρεθ ἅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων

13

And four hundred pomegranates, and two wreaths of network, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each wreath, to cover the pommels, and the chapiters of the pillars.

Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis jungerentur, quæ protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.

καὶ κώδωνας χρυσοῦς τετρακοσίους εἰς τὰ δύο δίκτυα καὶ δύο γένη ῥοΐσκων ἐν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ τοῦ συγκαλύψαι τὰς δύο γωλαθ τῶν χωθαρεθ ἅ ἐστιν ἐπάνω τῶν στύλων

14

He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases:

Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:

καὶ τὰς μεχωνωθ ἐποίησεν δέκα καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας ἐποίησεν ἐπὶ τῶν μεχωνωθ

15

One sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari,

καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν καὶ τοὺς μόσχους τοὺς δώδεκα ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς

16

And the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass.

et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater ejus in domo Domini ex ære mundissimo.

καὶ τοὺς ποδιστῆρας καὶ τοὺς ἀναλημπτῆρας καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου χαλκοῦ καθαροῦ

17

In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.

In regione Jordanis, fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot et Saredatha.

ἐν τῷ περιχώρῳ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἐν οἴκῳ Σοκχωθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σιρδαθα

18

And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.

Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus æris.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων πάντα τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπεν ὁλκὴ τοῦ χαλκοῦ

19

And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the golden altar, and the tables, upon which were the loaves of proposition,

Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:

καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν καὶ τὰς τραπέζας καὶ ἐπ' αὐτῶν ἄρτοι προθέσεως

20

The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.

candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum juxta ritum ex auro purissimo:

καὶ τὰς λυχνίας καὶ τοὺς λύχνους τοῦ φωτὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ χρυσίου καθαροῦ

21

And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest gold.

et florentia quædam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos : omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.

καὶ λαβίδες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ λύχνοι αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰς θυΐσκας καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα χρυσίου καθαροῦ

22

The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord.

Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo. Et ostia cælavit templi interioris, id est, in Sancta sanctorum : et ostia templi forinsecus aurea. Sicque completum est omne opus quod fecit Salomon in domo Domini.

καὶ ἡ θύρα τοῦ οἴκου ἡ ἐσωτέρα εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων εἰς τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς
