1 Reyes 6
Louis Segond 1910
1Ce fut la quatre cent quatre-vingtième année après la sortie des enfants d’Israël du pays d’Égypte que Salomon bâtit la maison à l’Éternel, la quatrième année de son règne sur Israël, au mois de Ziv, qui est le second mois.
2La maison que le roi Salomon bâtit à l’Éternel avait soixante coudées de longueur, vingt de largeur, et trente de hauteur.
3Le portique devant le temple de la maison avait vingt coudées de longueur répondant à la largeur de la maison, et dix coudées de profondeur sur la face de la maison.
4Le roi fit à la maison des fenêtres solidement grillées.
5Il bâtit contre le mur de la maison des étages circulaires, qui entouraient les murs de la maison, le temple et le sanctuaire; et il fit des chambres latérales tout autour.
6L’étage inférieur était large de cinq coudées, celui du milieu de six coudées, et le troisième de sept coudées; car il ménagea des retraites à la maison tout autour en dehors, afin que la charpente n’entrât pas dans les murs de la maison.
7Lorsqu’on bâtit la maison, on se servit de pierres toutes taillées, et ni marteau, ni hache, ni aucun instrument de fer, ne furent entendus dans la maison pendant qu’on la construisait.
8L’entrée des chambres de l’étage inférieur était au côté droit de la maison; on montait à l’étage du milieu par un escalier tournant, et de l’étage du milieu au troisième.
9Après avoir achevé de bâtir la maison, Salomon la couvrit de planches et de poutres de cèdre.
10Il donna cinq coudées de hauteur à chacun des étages qui entouraient toute la maison, et il les lia à la maison par des bois de cèdre.
11L’Éternel adressa la parole à Salomon, et lui dit: Tu bâtis cette maison!
12Si tu marches selon mes lois, si tu pratiques mes ordonnances, si tu observes et suis tous mes commandements, j’accomplirai à ton égard la promesse que j’ai faite à David, ton père,
13j’habiterai au milieu des enfants d’Israël, et je n’abandonnerai point mon peuple d’Israël.
14Après avoir achevé de bâtir la maison,
15Salomon en revêtit intérieurement les murs de planches de cèdre, depuis le sol jusqu’au plafond; il revêtit ainsi de bois l’intérieur, et il couvrit le sol de la maison de planches de cyprès.
16Il revêtit de planches de cèdre les vingt coudées du fond de la maison, depuis le sol jusqu’au haut des murs, et il réserva cet espace pour en faire le sanctuaire, le lieu très saint.
17Les quarante coudées sur le devant formaient la maison, c’est-à-dire le temple.
18Le bois de cèdre à l’intérieur de la maison offrait des sculptures de coloquintes et de fleurs épanouies; tout était de cèdre, on ne voyait aucune pierre.
19Salomon établit le sanctuaire intérieurement au milieu de la maison, pour y placer l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel.
20Le sanctuaire avait vingt coudées de longueur, vingt coudées de largeur, et vingt coudées de hauteur. Salomon le couvrit d’or pur. Il fit devant le sanctuaire un autel de bois de cèdre et le couvrit d’or.
21Il couvrit d’or pur l’intérieur de la maison, et il fit passer le voile dans des chaînettes d’or devant le sanctuaire, qu’il couvrit d’or.
22Il couvrit d’or toute la maison, la maison tout entière, et il couvrit d’or tout l’autel qui était devant le sanctuaire.
23Il fit dans le sanctuaire deux chérubins de bois d’olivier sauvage, ayant dix coudées de hauteur.
24Chacune des deux ailes de l’un des chérubins avait cinq coudées, ce qui faisait dix coudées de l’extrémité d’une de ses ailes à l’extrémité de l’autre.
25Le second chérubin avait aussi dix coudées. La mesure et la forme étaient les mêmes pour les deux chérubins.
26La hauteur de chacun des deux chérubins était de dix coudées.
27Salomon plaça les chérubins au milieu de la maison, dans l’intérieur. Leurs ailes étaient déployées: l’aile du premier touchait à l’un des murs, et l’aile du second touchait à l’autre mur; et leurs autres ailes se rencontraient par l’extrémité au milieu de la maison.
28Salomon couvrit d’or les chérubins.
29Il fit sculpter sur tout le pourtour des murs de la maison, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur, des chérubins, des palmes et des fleurs épanouies.
30Il couvrit d’or le sol de la maison, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur.
31Il fit à l’entrée du sanctuaire une porte à deux battants, de bois d’olivier sauvage; l’encadrement avec les poteaux équivalait à un cinquième du mur.
32Les deux battants étaient de bois d’olivier sauvage. Il y fit sculpter des chérubins, des palmes et des fleurs épanouies, et il les couvrit d’or; il étendit aussi l’or sur les chérubins et sur les palmes.
33Il fit de même, pour la porte du temple, des poteaux de bois d’olivier sauvage, ayant le quart de la dimension du mur, et deux battants de bois de cyprès;
34chacun des battants était formé de deux planches brisées.
35Il y fit sculpter des chérubins, des palmes et des fleurs épanouies, et il les couvrit d’or, qu’il étendit sur la sculpture.
36Il bâtit le parvis intérieur de trois rangées de pierres de taille et d’une rangée de poutres de cèdre.
37La quatrième année, au mois de Ziv, les fondements de la maison de l’Éternel furent posés;
38et la onzième année, au mois de Bul, qui est le huitième mois, la maison fut achevée dans toutes ses parties et telle qu’elle devait être. Salomon la construisit dans l’espace de sept ans.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ en el año cuatrocientos ochenta después que los hijos de Israel salieron de Egipto, en el cuarto año del principio del reino de Salomón sobre Israel, en el mes de Ziph, que es el mes segundo, que él comenzó á edificar la casa de Jehová.
2La casa que el rey Salomón edificó á Jehová, tuvo sesenta codos de largo y veinte de ancho, y treinta codos de alto.
3Y el pórtico delante del templo de la casa, de veinte codos de largo, según la anchura de la casa, y su ancho era de diez codos delante de la casa.
4E hizo á la casa ventanas anchas por de dentro, y estrechas por de fuera.
5Edificó también junto al muro de la casa aposentos alrededor, contra las paredes de la casa en derredor del templo y del oráculo: é hizo cámaras alrededor.
6El aposento de abajo era de cinco codos de ancho, y el de en medio de seis codos de ancho, y el tercero de siete codos de ancho: porque por de fuera había hecho disminuciones á la casa en derredor, para no trabar las vigas de las paredes de la casa.
7Y la casa cuando se edificó, fabricáronla de piedras que traían ya acabadas; de tal manera que cuando la edificaban, ni martillos ni hachas se oyeron en la casa, ni ningún otro instrumento de hierro.
8La puerta del aposento de en medio estaba al lado derecho de la casa: y subíase por un caracol al de en medio, y del aposento de en medio al tercero.
9Labró pues la casa, y acabóla; y cubrió la casa con artesonados de cedro.
10Y edificó asimismo el aposento en derredor de toda la casa, de altura de cinco codos, el cual se apoyaba en la casa con maderas de cedro.
11Y fué palabra de Jehová á Salomón, diciendo:
12Esta casa que tú edificas, si anduvieres en mis estatutos, é hicieres mis derechos, y guardares todos mis mandamientos andando en ellos, yo tendré firme contigo mi palabra que hablé á David tu padre;
13Y habitaré en medio de los hijos de Israel, y no dejaré á mi pueblo Israel.
14Así que, Salomón labró la casa, y acabóla.
15Y aparejó las paredes de la casa por de dentro con tablas de cedro, vistiéndola de madera por dentro, desde el solado de la casa hasta las paredes de la techumbre: cubrió también el pavimento con madera de haya.
16Asimismo hizo al cabo de la casa un edificio de veinte codos de tablas de cedro, desde el solado hasta lo más alto; y fabricóse en la casa un oráculo, que es el lugar santísimo.
17Y la casa, á saber, el templo de dentro, tenía cuarenta codos.
18Y la casa estaba cubierta de cedro por de dentro, y tenía entalladuras de calabazas silvestres y de botones de flores. Todo era cedro; ninguna piedra se veía.
19Y adornó el oráculo por de dentro en medio de la casa, para poner allí el arca del pacto de Jehová.
20Y el oráculo estaba en la parte de adentro, el cual tenía veinte codos de largo, y otros veinte de ancho, y otros veinte de altura; y vistiólo de oro purísimo: asimismo cubrió el altar de cedro.
21De suerte que vistió Salomón de oro puro la casa por de dentro, y cerró la entrada del oráculo con cadenas de oro, y vistiólo de oro.
22Cubrió pues de oro toda la casa hasta el cabo; y asimismo vistió de oro todo el altar que estaba delante del oráculo.
23Hizo también en el oráculo dos querubines de madera de oliva, cada uno de altura de diez codos.
24La una ala del querubín tenía cinco codos, y la otra ala del querubín otros cinco codos: así que había diez codos desde la punta de la una ala hasta la punta de la otra.
25Asimismo el otro querubín tenía diez codos; porque ambos querubines eran de un tamaño y de una hechura.
26La altura del uno era de diez codos, y asimismo el otro.
27Y puso estos querubines dentro de la casa de adentro: los cuales querubines extendían sus alas, de modo que el ala del uno tocaba á la pared, y el ala del otro querubín tocaba á la otra pared, y las otras dos alas se tocaban la una á la otra en la mitad de la casa.
28Y vistió de oro los querubines.
29Y esculpió todas las paredes de la casa alrededor de diversas figuras, de querubines, de palmas, y de botones de flores, por de dentro y por de fuera.
30Y cubrió de oro el piso de la casa, de dentro y de fuera.
31Y á la entrada del oráculo hizo puertas de madera de oliva; y el umbral y los postes eran de cinco esquinas.
32Las dos puertas eran de madera de oliva; y entalló en ellas figuras de querubines y de palmas y de botones de flores, y cubriólas de oro: cubrió también de oro los querubines y las palmas.
33Igualmente hizo á la puerta del templo postes de madera de oliva cuadrados.
34Pero las dos puertas eran de madera de haya; y los dos lados de la una puerta eran redondos, y los otros dos lados de la otra puerta también redondos.
35Y entalló en ellas querubines y palmas y botones de flores, y cubriólas de oro ajustado á las entalladuras.
36Y edificó el atrio interior de tres órdenes de piedras labradas, y de un orden de vigas de cedro.
37En el cuarto año, en el mes de Ziph, se echaron los cimientos de la casa de Jehová:
38Y en el undécimo año, en el mes de Bul, que es el mes octavo, fué acabada la casa con todas sus pertenencias, y con todo lo necesario. Edificóla pues, en siete años.
King James Version
1And 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.
2And 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.
3And 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.
4And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5And 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:
6The 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.
7And 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.
8The 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.
9So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
12Concerning 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:
13And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15And 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.
16And 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.
17And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
20And 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.
21So 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.
22And 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.
23And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
24And 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.
25And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27And 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.
28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32The 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.
33So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
34And 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.
35And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
38And 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.
World English Bible
1In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the LORD’s house.
2The house which King Solomon built for the LORD had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
3The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
5Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
6The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
7The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
8The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
9So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11The LORD’s word came to Solomon, saying,
12“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
13I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
14So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
16He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
18There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
19He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of the LORD’s covenant there.
20Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
22He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
23In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
25The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.
27He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, 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 middle of the house.
28He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
31For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
33He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
34and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
37The foundation of the LORD’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.
38In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
