The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Forsooth it was done in the four hundred and fourscore year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the realm of Solomon (in the fourth year of Solomon's reign), in the month Zif; that is, the second month of the fourth year of the realm of Solomon on Israel; he began to build an house to the Lord.
1
factum est igitur quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israhel de terra Aegypti in anno quarto mense zio ipse est mensis secundus regis Salomonis super Israhel aedificare coepit domum Domino
2 Forsooth the house which king Solomon builded to the Lord, had sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
2
domus autem quam aedificabat rex Salomon Domino habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine et viginti cubitos in latitudine et triginta cubitos in altitudine
3 And a porch was before the temple of twenty cubits of length, by the measure of the breadth of the temple; and the porch had ten cubits of breadth, before the face of the temple. (And there was a vestibule in front of the Temple, twenty cubits in length, equal to the measure of the breadth of the Temple; and the vestibule was ten cubits deep, projecting out in front of the Temple.)
3
et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis iuxta mensuram latitudinis templi et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi
4 And Solomon made in the temple narrow windows withoutforth and large within.
4
fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas
5 And he builded on the wall of the temple, buildings of boards by compass, in the walls of the house, by compass of the temple, and of God's answering place; and he made [the] sides in the compass. (And he made chambers, or rooms, out of boards, against the walls of the Temple, all around the Temple, and the Inner Temple, that is, the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies, on the sides, and at the back.)
5
et aedificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi et fecit latera in circuitu
6 The building of boards, that was under, had five cubits of breadth; and the middle building of boards was of six cubits of breadth; and the third building of boards was having seven cubits of breadth (The bottom story, made out of boards, was five cubits in breadth; and the middle story, also made out of boards, was six cubits in breadth; and the third story, also made out of boards, was seven cubits in breadth). And he put beams in the house by compass withoutforth, (so) that those cleaved not to the walls of the temple.
6
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 hererent muris templi
7 And when the house was builded, it was built of perfect(ly) hewn stones; and hammer, and ax, and all thing made of iron, were not heard in the house, while it was in building (while it was being built).
7
domus autem cum aedificaretur lapidibus dedolatis atque perfectis aedificata est et malleus et securis et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum aedificaretur
8 The door of the middle side was in the wall of the right half of the house; and by a vice men went up into the middle solar, and from the middle solar into the third solar. (The door for the bottom story was in the wall for the right side of the House of the Lord; and by a stairway, men went up to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third story.)
8
ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dexterae et per cocleam ascendebant in medium cenaculum et a medio in tertium
9 And Solomon builded the house, and ended it. And Solomon covered the house with couples of cedar, (And Solomon built the House, and finished it. And he braced the House with cedar couplings,)
9
et aedificavit domum et consummavit eam texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis
10 and he builded a building of boards over all the house, by five cubits of height, and covered the house with cedar wood. (and he built a building out of boards all around the sides of the House, or the Temple, five cubits in height, and joined it to the Temple with cedar beams.)
10
et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis et operuit domum lignis cedrinis
11 And the word of the Lord was made to Solomon, and said,
11
et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem dicens
12 This is the house, which thou buildest; if thou goest in my behests, and doest my dooms, and keepest all my commandments, and goest by those, I shall make steadfast my word to thee, which word I spake to David, thy father; (This is the House, which thou should built; and then if thou followest my commands, and doest my judgements, and obeyest all my commandments, and goest by them, I shall make steadfast my word to thee, which word I spoke to thy father David;)
12
domus haec quam aedificas si ambulaveris in praeceptis meis et iudicia mea feceris et custodieris omnia mandata mea gradiens per ea firmabo sermonem meum tibi quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum
13 and I shall dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I shall not forsake my people Israel. (and I shall live in the midst of the Israelites, and I shall never desert my people Israel.)
13
et habitabo in medio filiorum Israhel et non derelinquam populum meum Israhel
14 Therefore Solomon builded the house, and ended it; (And so Solomon built the House, and finished it;)
14
igitur aedificavit Salomon domum et consummavit eam
15 and he builded the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, from the pavement of the house unto the highness of the wall, and unto the couples; and he covered them with wood of cedar within; and he covered the pavement of the house with boards of box. (and he built the walls of the House within out of cedar boards, from the floor of the House unto the top of the wall, and unto the couplings; and he covered them with cedar wood within; and he covered the floor of the House with fir, or pine, boards.)
15
et aedificavit parietes domus intrinsecus tabulatis cedrinis a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum et usque ad laquearia operuit lignis intrinsecus et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis
16 And he builded a wall of boards of cedar of twenty cubits at the hinder part of the temple, from the pavement unto the higher parts; and he made the inner house of God's answering place into the holy of holy things, (and he made the Inner Temple, that is, the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies).
16
aedificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina a pavimento usque ad superiora et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in sanctum sanctorum
17 And that temple before the doors of God's answering place was of forty cubits. (And the chamber in front of the doors of the Inner Temple was forty cubits in length.)
17
porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi
18 And all the house within was clothed with cedar, and had his smoothnesses, and his joinings made subtly, and gravings appearing above; all things were clothed with boards of cedar, and utterly a stone might not appear in the wall. (And all the House within was covered with cedar, and had carvings of knops, or of gourds, and open flowers; everything was covered with cedar boards, and no stone appeared, or was visible, utterly anywhere on the wall.)
18
et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur habens tornaturas suas et iuncturas fabrefactas et celaturas eminentes omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete
19 And Solomon made God's answering place in the midst of the house, in the inner part, that he should set there the ark of (the) bond of peace of the Lord (where he would put the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord).
19
oraculum autem in medio domus in interiori parte fecerat ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini
20 And God's answering place had twenty cubits of length, and twenty cubits of breadth, and twenty cubits of height (And the Inner Temple was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height); and he covered (it), and clothed it with purest gold; but also he clothed the altar with cedar.
20
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
21 Also he covered with purest gold the house before God's answering place, or the oracle, and he fastened the plates with golden nails. (And he covered the inside of the Temple all around the Inner Temple, or the oracle, with the purest gold; and he fastened plates to the walls with gold nails.)
21
domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo et adfixit lamminas clavis aureis
22 Nothing was in the temple that was not covered with gold; but also he covered with gold all the altar of God's answering place. (There was nothing in the Temple that was not covered with gold; and he also covered all of the altar for the Inner Temple with gold.)
22
nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro
23 And he made in God's answering place two cherubims of the trees of olives, of ten cubits of height (each ten cubits in height);
23
et fecit in oraculo duo cherubin de lignis olivarum decem cubitorum altitudinis
24 one wing of (the) cherub was of five cubits, and the tother wing of (the) cherub was (also) of five cubits, that is, having ten cubits, from the highness of the one wing till to the highness of the tother wing.
24
quinque cubitorum ala cherub una et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera id est decem cubitos habentes a summitate alae usque ad alae alterius summitatem
25 And the second cherub was of ten cubits in even measure; and one work was in the two cherubims, (And the second cherub was also ten cubits in equal measure; and the two cherubim were of the same work, or design,)
25
decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus mensura pari et opus unum erat in duobus cherubin
26 that is, one cherub had the height of ten cubits, and in like manner the tother cherub.
26
id est altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum et similiter cherub secundus
27 And he set [the] cherubims in the midst of the inner temple; and the cherubims held forth their wings, and one wing touched the one wall, and the wing of the second cherub touched the tother wall; and the other wings in the middle part of the temple touched themselves together (and the other wings touched each other in the middle of the Inner Temple).
27
posuitque cherubin in medio templi interioris extendebant autem alas suas cherubin et tangebat ala una parietem et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum alae autem alterae in media parte templi se invicem contingebant
28 And he covered the cherubims with gold, and (also) all the walls of the (whole) temple by compass/about;
28
texit quoque cherubin auro
29 and he graved them with diverse gravings and smoothness; and he made in those walls cherubims, and palms, and diverse paintures, as standing forth and going out of the wall. (and he carved into them diverse carvings; he made cherubim, and palms, and open flowers on those walls, standing forth from the walls, and going out of them.)
29
et omnes parietes templi per circuitum scalpsit variis celaturis et torno et fecit in eis cherubin et palmas et picturas varias quasi prominentes de pariete et egredientes
30 But also he covered with gold the pavement of the house, within and withoutforth. (And he also covered the floor of the Temple, within and without, with gold.)
30
sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus
31 And in the entering of God's answering place he made two little doors of the trees of olives; and he made posts of five corners, (And at the entrance to the Inner Temple, he made two doors of olive wood; and he made posts with five corners,)
31
et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum postesque angulorum quinque
32 and [the] two doors (were) of the trees of olives; and he graved in those the painture of cherubims, and the likenesses of palms, and gravings above standing forth greatly; and he covered those with gold; and he covered as well the cherubims, as [the] palms, and (the) other things, with gold. (and the two doors were made out of olive wood; and he carved on them the likenesses of cherubim, and palms, and open flowers; and he covered them with gold; and he also covered the cherubim, and the palms, and the other things, with gold.)
32
et duo ostia de lignis olivarum et scalpsit in eis picturam cherubin et palmarum species et anaglyfa valde prominentia et texit ea auro et operuit tam cherubin quam palmas et cetera auro
33 And in the entering of the temple he made posts four-cornered of (the) trees of olives; (And for the entrance to the Temple he made four-cornered posts out of olive wood;)
33
fecitque in introitum templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos
34 and he made [the] two doors of the trees of box, each against (the) other (and he made the two doors out of fir, or pine, wood, each against the other); and ever either door was double, and it was opened holding itself together.
34
et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus et utrumque ostium duplex erat et se invicem tenens aperiebatur
35 And he graved cherubims, and palms, and gravings appearing greatly (And he carved cherubim, and palms, and open flowers); and he covered all things with golden plates, by square work at rule.
35
et scalpsit cherubin et palmas et celaturas valde eminentes operuitque omnia lamminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam
36 And he builded a large street, or an alley, within, by three orders of stones made fair, and by one order of wood of cedar. (And he built a large courtyard within, with three rows of hewn stones, and one row of cedar beams.)
36
et aedificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum et uno ordine lignorum cedri
37 The house of the Lord was founded in the fourth year of the realm of Solomon, in the month (of) Zif; (The House of the Lord was begun in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the month of Zif;)
37
anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense zio
38 and the house was made perfect, or ended, in all his work, and in all his vessels, either purtenances, in the eleventh year, in the month [of] Bul; that is the eighth month; and he builded that house in seven years. (and the House was finished with all of its work, and all of its vessels, or its purtenances, in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul; that is, the eighth month; and so he built that House in seven years.)
38
et in anno undecimo mense bul ipse est mensis octavus perfecta est domus in omni opere suo et in universis utensilibus aedificavitque eam annis septem
