The building of Solomon’s temple.

1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio, (the same is the second month) he began to build a house to the Lord.Or alla fabbrica della casa del Signore fu dato principio l'anno quattrocento ottanta dopo l'uscita de' figliuoli d'Israele dalla terra d'Egitto, l'anno quarto del regno di Salomone sopra Israele, nel mese Zio, viene a dire, nel secondo mese.AND it came to passe in the foure hundred and foure score yeare of the coming forth of the children of Israel out of the Land of Aegypt, in the fourth yeare, the moneth Zio (that is the second moneth) of the reigne of Salomon ouer Israel, he began to build a house to our Lord. 〈…〉Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israël de terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio (ipse est mensis secundus), regni Salomonis super Israël, ædificari cœpit domus Domino. 2And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.E la casa, che il re Salomone edificava al Signore, avea sessanta cubiti di lunghezza, venti cubiti di larghezza, e trenta di altezza.the house, which king Salomon built to our Lord, had three score cubites in length, and twentie cubites in br•••h. •nd thirtie cubites in height.Domus autem quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine. 3And there was a porch before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth, before the face of the temple.E dinanzi al tempio eravi un atrio lungo venti cubiti, quant'era largo il tempio: e avea dieci cubiti di larghezza in faccia al tempio.And there was a porche 〈…〉 the temple of twentie cubites of length, according to the measure of the bredth of the temple: and it had ten cubites of bredth before the face of the temple.Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, juxta mensuram latitudinis templi: et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi. 4And he made in the temple oblique windows.E fece nel tempio delle finestre oblique.And he made in the temple oblique windowes. And he built vpon the wal of the temple loftes round about,Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas. 5And upon the wall of the temple, he built floors round about, in the walls of the house, round about the temple and the oracle, and he made chambers in the sides round about.E fabbricò degli appartamenti sul muro del tempio all'intorno, sulle mura della casa attorno al tempio, e al santuario fece quasi ale all'intorno.in the walles of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu.

6The floor that was underneath was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third floor was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.Il piano infimo era largo cinque cubiti, e il piano di mezzo era largo sei cubiti, e il terzo era largo sette cubiti; e posò le travi intorno al tempio al di fuori, talmente che non fossero incastrate nelle mura del tempio.The loft that was vnderneth, had fiue cubites of bredth, & the middle loft was of six cubites in bredth, and the third loft had seuen cubites of bredth. And he put beames in the house round about on the outside, that they might not cleaue to the walles of the temple.Tabulatum quod subter erat, quinque cubitos habebat latitudinis, et medium tabulatum sex cubitorum latitudinis, et tertium tabulatum septem habens cubitos latitudinis. Trabes autem posuit in domo per circuitum forinsecus, ut non hærerent muris templi. 7And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones, hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.E nel fabbricarsi la casa, ella fu fatta di pietre lavorate, e intere: e non si sentì rumor di martello, nè di scarpello, nè d'altro strumento di ferro, mentre si edificava la casa.And the house when it was built, was built of stones hewed and perfected: and hammer, and hachet, and al the tolle of y•••• were not heard in the house when it was built.Domus autem cum ædificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis ædificata est: et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum ædificaretur. 8The door, for the middle side, was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.La porta del piano di mezzo era dai lato destro della casa (del Signore): e per una scala a chiocciola si saliva al palco di mezzo, e da quel di mezzo al terzo.The doot• of the middle side was in the wal of the house on the right hand: and by wynding staires they went vp into the middle row me, and from the middle into the third.Ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dextræ: et per cochleam ascendebant in medium cœnaculum, et a medio in tertium. 9So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.E fabbricò la casa, e la messe a coperto: e la coperse con soffitta di cedro.And he built the house, and finished it: he couered also the house with seelings of cedre trees.Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam: texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis.

10And he built a floor over all the house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.E fece gli appartamenti attorno a tutta la casa di cinque cubiti di altezza, e coperse la casa con legname di cedro.And he built a loft ouer al the house fiue cubites of height, and he couered the house with cedre timber.Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis. 11And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:E il Signore parlò a Salomone, e disse:And the word of our Lord came to Salomon, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens: 12As for this house, which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee, which I spoke to David thy father.In questa casa, cui tu edifichi (se tu camminerai per la via de' miei precetti, ed eseguirai i miei voleri, e osserverai tutti i miei comandamenti senza mai allontanartene), io confermerò in tuo favore le parole dette da me a Davidde tuo padre.This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walke in my preceptes, and doe my iudgementes, and keepe al my commandementes, going in them, I wil establish my word to thee, which I spake to Dauid thy father.Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis meis, et judicia mea feceris, et custodieris omnia mandata mea, gradiens per ea, firmabo sermonem meum tibi, quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum: 13And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.E io abiterò in mezzo a' figliuoli d'Israele, e non abbandonerò il mio popolo d'Israele.And I wil dwel in the middes of the children of Israel, and wil not forsake my people Israel.et habitabo in medio filiorum Israël, et non derelinquam populum meum Israël. 14So Solomon built the house, and finished it.Salomone adunque fece la casa (del Signore), e la compì,Salomon therfore built the house, and finished it.Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam. 15And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roofs, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.E intonacò al di dentro con tavole di cedro le mura della casa, dal pavimento fino alla sommità delle mura, e sino alla soffitta, cui egli coprì al di dentro di legno di cedro: e il pavimento della casata coperse con tavole di abete.And he built the walles of the house on the inside, with cedre loftes, from the pauement of the house to the toppe of the walles, and to the roofes, he couered it with cadre trees on the inside: and he couered the floore of the house with boordes of firre.Et ædificavit parietes domus intrinsecus tabulatis cedrinis: a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum, et usque ad laquearia, operuit lignis cedrinis intrinsecus: et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis.

16And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.E fece di legno di cedro un tavolato di venti cubiti per la parte posteriore del tempio, dal pavimento sino alla soffitta: e ne fece il luogo interior dell'oracolo, il Santo de' Santi.And he built loftes of cedre timber of twentie cubites at the hinder part of the temple, from the pauement to the higher partes: and he made the inner house of the oracle to be Sanctum Sanctorum.Ædificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora: et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in Sanctum sanctorum. 17And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits long.E il tempio dalla porta dell'oracolo in giù avea quaranta cubiti.Moreouer the temple it self was fourtie cubites before the doores of the oracle.Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi. 18And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought, and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.E tutta la casa al di dentro era vestita di cedro, e le incastrature del legname erano fatte con molta arte, e ornate di lavori rilevati di tornio: ogni cosa era talmente coperta delle tavole di cedro, che non compariva neppure una delle pietre della muraglia.And al the house was couered within with cede•, hauing roundels, and the ioyntes therof coningly wrought and the engrauinges standing out: al thinges were couered with bordes: neither could there a stone appeare in the wal at al.Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas et juncturas suas fabrefactas, et cælaturas eminentes: omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur: nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete. 19And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.Or egli avea fatto l'oracolo nel fondo della casa, nella parte più interna del tempio, per collocarvi l'arca del testamento del Signore.And he made the oracle in the middes of the house, in the inner part, that he might put the arke of couenant of our Lord there.Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini. 20Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered it, and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.L'oracolo avea venti cubiti di lunghezza, e venti cubiti di larghezza, e venti di altezza, ed ei lo coprì, e lo rivestì d'oro purissimo; e lo stesso altare rivestì di cedro.Moreouer the oracle had twentie cubites in length, and twentie cubites of bredth, and twentie cubites in height. And he couered and seeled it with most pure gold and the altar also he decked with ceder.Porro oraculum habebat viginti cubitos longitudinis, et viginti cubitos latitudinis, et viginti cubitos altitudinis: et operuit illud atque vestivit auro purissimo: sed et altare vestivit cedro.

21And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.E anche la casa, che è dinanzi all'oracolo, la ricoperse d'oro finissimo, e v'inchiodò le lame (d'oro) con chiodi d'oro.The house also before the oracle he couered with most pure gold, and fastened on plates with nailes of gold.Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis. 22And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.E non eravi parte alcuna del tempio, che non fosse ricoperta d'oro anche tutto l'altare dell'oracolo lo coperse d'oro.And there was nothing in the temple that was not couered with gold: yea and al the altar of the oracle he couered with gold.Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur: sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro. 23And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.E pell'oracolo fece due Cherubini di legno d'ulivo, alti dieci cubiti.And he made in the oracle two cherubs of oliue trees, of ten cubites in height.Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis. 24One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.L'una delle ale del Cherubino avea cinque cubiti, e l'altra pure cinque cubiti; viene a dire, che vi erano dieci cubiti, dalla punta a' un'ala fino alla punta dell'altra.One wing of a cherub of fiue cubites, and the other wing of a cherub fiue cubites: that is, hauing tenne cubites, from the end of one wing vnto the end of the other wing.Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera: id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alæ unius usque ad alæ alterius summitatem. 25The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:Parimente il secondo Cherubino era di dieci cubiti, e della stessa dimensione; ed erano ambedue dello stesso lavoro.Of ten cubites also was the second cherub: in like measure, and the worke was one in both cherubs,Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus: in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim, 26That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.Viene a dire, che l'uno de' Cherubini avea di altezza dieci cubiti, e similmente il secondo Cherubino.that is to say, one cherub had the height of ten cubites, and in like maner the second cherub.id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus.

27And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.E collocò i Cherubini nel mezzo del tempio interiore: e i Cherubini aveano le ali distese, e l'una delle ale toccava la parete, e un'ala dell'altro Cherubino toccava l'altra parete: e le altre ale si toccavano l'una l'altra nel punto di mezzo del tempio.And he put the cherubs in the middes of the inner temple: and the cherubs extended their winges, and the one wing touched the wal, and the wing of the second cherub touched the other wal: and the other winges in the middle part of the temple touched ech other.Posuitque cherubim in medio templi interioris: extendebant autem alas suas cherubim, et tangebat ala una parietem, et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum: alæ autem alteræ in media parte templi se invicem contingebant. 28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.E ricoperse d'oro anche i Cherubini.He couered also the cherubs with gold.Texit quoque cherubim auro. 29And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.E tutte le pareti del tempio le fece ornare all'intorno di scultura, e d'intaglio: e vi fece de' Cherubini, e delle palme, e delle figure diverse, che quasi si staccavano, e sporgevano in fuora dalla parete.And al the walles of the temple round about he graued with diuerse engrauinges and caruing: & he made in them cherubs, and palme trees, and diuerse pictures, as it were standing out of the wal, and coming forth.Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis cælaturis et torno: et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes. 30And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.E nella interior parte, e nella esteriore del tempio ricoperse d'oro il pavimento.Yea the pauement also of the house he couered with gold within and without.Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus. 31And in the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,E all'ingresso dell'oracolo fece piccole porte di legno d'ulivo, e l'uscio era un pentagono.And in the entrance of the oracle he made litle doores of the timber of oliuetrees, and fiue corner postes.Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque. 32And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting; and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things, with gold.E queste due porte erano di legno d'ulivo, e in esse erano scolpite figure di Cherubini, e di palme, e di bassi rilievi, che sporgevano molto in fuora, e le rivestì d'oro: e d'oro ancora ricoperse tanto i Cherubini, come le palme, e tutte le altre cose.And two doores of oliuetimber: and he graued in them pictures of Cherubs, and figures of Palme trees, and grauen workes standing out very much; and he couered them with gold: and he couered as wel the cherubs as the palmetrees, and the other thinges with gold.Et duo ostia de lignis olivarum: et sculpsit in eis picturam cherubim, et palmarum species, et anaglypha valde prominentia: et texit ea auro, et operuit tam cherubim quam palmas, et cetera, auro.

33And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:E all'ingresso del tempio fece le porte di legno d'ulivo quadrate.And he made in the entrance of the temple postes of oliuetimber foure square:Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos, 34And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.E le due porte di legno di abete una da un lato, l'altra dall'altro lato: e l'una, e l'altra imposta erano di due parti, e si apriva, tenendosi unita l'una parte coll'altra.and two doores of firre trees, one agaynst an other: and either doore was duble, and so opened with folding leaues.et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus: et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur. 35And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.E vi fece scolpire de' Cherubini, e delle palme, ed ornamenti, che sporgevano molto in fuora; e ogni cosa ricoperse con lame d'oro, con esattamente giusto lavoro.And he graued cherubs, and palmetrees, and engrauinges appearing very much: and he couered al with golden plates in square worke by rule.Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes: operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam. 36And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.E fabbricò l'atrio interiore di tre ordini di pietre lavorate e un ordine di legname di cedro.And he built the inner court with three rowes of stones polished, and one rowe of ceder timber.Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri. 37In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded, in the month Zio:Furon gettati i fondamenti della casa del Signore l'anno quarto nel mese Zio:In the fourth yeare was the house of our Lord founded in the moneth of Zio:Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio: 38And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul.
