1 Kings 7
1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
Poi Salomone costruì la sua propria casa, e la compì interamente in tredici anni.
2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred seventy-two feet and three inches, and its breadth eighty-six feet and two inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.
Fabbricò prima di tutto la casa della “Foresta del Libano”, di cento cubiti di lunghezza, di cinquanta di larghezza e di trenta d’altezza. Era basata su quattro ordini di colonne di cedro, sulle quali poggiava una travatura di cedro.
3 It was covered with cedar above atop the beams which were on the pillars, and the pillars numbered forty-five; fifteen in a row.
Un soffitto di cedro copriva le camere che poggiavano sulle colonne, e che erano in numero di quarantacinque, quindici per fila.
4 There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
E v’erano tre ordini di camere, le cui finestre si trovavano le une dirimpetto alle altre lungo tutti e tre gli ordini.
5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
E tutte le porte coi loro stipiti ed architravi erano quadrangolari, e le finestre dei tre ordini di camere si trovavano le une dirimpetto alle altre, in tutti e tre gli ordini.
6 He made the porch of pillars; its length was eighty-six feet and two inches, and its breadth fifty-one feet and eight inches; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
Fece pure il portico di colonne, avente cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza e trenta di larghezza, con un vestibolo davanti, delle colonne, e una scalinata in fronte.
7 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to rafters.
Poi fece il portico del trono dove amministrava la giustizia e che si chiamò il “Portico del giudizio”; e lo ricoprì di legno di cedro dal pavimento al soffitto.
8 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
E la casa sua, dov’egli dimorava, fu costruita nello stesso modo, in un altro cortile, dietro il portico. E fece una casa dello stesso stile di questo portico per la figliuola di Faraone, ch’egli avea sposata.
9 All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
Tutte queste costruzioni erano di pietre scelte, tagliate a misura, segate con la sega, internamente ed esternamente, dai fondamenti ai cornicioni, e al di fuori fino al cortile maggiore.
10 The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of seventeen feet and three inches, and stones of thirteen feet and nine inches.
Anche i fondamenti erano di pietre scelte, grandi, di pietre di dieci cubiti, e di pietre di otto cubiti.
11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
E al di sopra c’erano delle pietre scelte, tagliate a misura, e del legname di cedro.
12 The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of YHWH, and the porch of the house.
Il gran cortile avea tutto all’intorno tre ordini di pietre lavorate e un ordine di travi di cedro, come il cortile interiore della casa dell’Eterno e come il portico della casa.
13 King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
Il re Salomone fece venire da Tiro Hiram,
14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in bronze. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.
figliuolo d’una vedova della tribù di Neftali; suo padre era di Tiro. Egli lavorava in rame; era pieno di sapienza, d’intelletto e d’industria per eseguire qualunque lavoro in rame. Egli si recò dal re Salomone ed eseguì tutti i lavori da lui ordinati.
15 For he cast the two pillars of bronze, thirty-one feet was the height of one pillar; and a line of twenty feet and eight inches could encompass the one pillar, and its thickness hollowed out was almost three inches; and so was the second pillar.
Fece le due colonne di rame. La prima avea diciotto cubiti d’altezza, e una corda di dodici cubiti misurava la circonferenza della seconda.
16 He made two capitals of molten bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was eight feet and seven inches, and the height of the other capital was eight feet and seven inches.
E fuse due capitelli di rame, per metterli in cima alle colonne; l’uno avea cinque cubiti d’altezza, e l’altro cinque cubiti d’altezza.
17 There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
Fece un graticolato, un lavoro d’intreccio, dei festoni a guisa di catenelle, per i capitelli ch’erano in cima alle colonne: sette per il primo capitello, e sette per il secondo.
18 So he made the pomegranates, two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.
E fece due ordini di melagrane attorno all’uno di que’ graticolati, per coprire il capitello ch’era in cima all’una delle colonne; e lo stesso fece per l’altro capitello.
19 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, six feet and eleven inches.
I capitelli che erano in cima alle colonne nel portico eran fatti a forma di giglio, ed erano di quattro cubiti.
20 And the capitals were on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network. And there were two hundred pomegranates in rows all around on the capital, and the same around the other capital.
I capitelli posti sulle due colonne erano circondati da duecento melagrane, in alto, vicino alla convessità ch’era al di là del graticolato; c’eran duecento melagrane disposte attorno al primo, e duecento intorno al secondo capitello.
21 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jakin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
Egli rizzò le colonne nel portico del tempio; rizzò la colonna a man destra, e la chiamò Jakin; poi rizzò la colonna a man sinistra, e la chiamò Boaz.
22 On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
In cima alle colonne c’era un lavoro fatto a forma di giglio. Così fu compiuto il lavoro delle colonne.
23 He made the molten sea of seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.
Poi fece il mare di getto, che avea dieci cubiti da un orlo all’altro; era di forma perfettamente rotonda, avea cinque cubiti d’altezza, e una corda di trenta cubiti ne misurava la circonferenza.
24 Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
Sotto all’orlo lo circondavano delle colloquintide, dieci per cubito, facendo tutto il giro del mare; le colloquintide, disposte in due ordini, erano state fuse insieme col mare.
25 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.
Questo posava su dodici buoi, dei quali tre guardavano a settentrione, tre a occidente, tre a mezzogiorno, e tre ad oriente; il mare stava su di essi, e le parti posteriori de’ buoi erano vòlte verso il di dentro.
26 It was almost three inches thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
Esso avea lo spessore d’un palmo; il suo orlo, fatto come l’orlo d’una coppa, avea la forma d’un fior di giglio; il mare conteneva duemila bati.
27 He made the ten bases of bronze; six feet and eleven inches was the length of one base, and six feet and eleven inches its breadth, and five feet and two inches its height.
Fece pure le dieci basi di rame; ciascuna avea quattro cubiti di lunghezza, quattro cubiti di larghezza e tre cubiti d’altezza.
28 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
E il lavoro delle basi consisteva in questo. Eran formate di riquadri, tenuti assieme per mezzo di sostegni.
29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
Sopra i riquadri, fra i sostegni, c’erano de’ leoni, de’ buoi e dei cherubini; lo stesso, sui sostegni superiori; ma sui sostegni inferiori, sotto i leoni ed i buoi, c’erano delle ghirlande a festoni.
30 Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of bronze; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
Ogni base avea quattro ruote di rame con le sale di rame; e ai quattro angoli c’erano delle mensole, sotto il bacino; queste mensole erano di getto; di faccia a ciascuna stavan delle ghirlande.
31 The mouth of it within the capital and above was twenty-one inches: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, two feet and seven inches; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.
Al coronamento della base, nell’interno, c’era un’apertura in cui s’adattava il bacino; essa avea un cubito d’altezza, era rotonda, della forma d’una base di colonna, e aveva un cubito e mezzo di diametro; anche lì v’erano delle sculture; i riquadri erano quadrati e non circolari.
32 The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was two feet and seven inches.
Le quattro ruote eran sotto i riquadri, le sale delle ruote eran fissate alla base, e l’altezza d’ogni ruota era di un cubito e mezzo.
33 The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
Le ruote eran fatte come quelle d’un carro. Le loro sale, i loro quarti, i loro razzi, i loro mozzi eran di getto.
34 There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.
Ai quattro angoli d’ogni base, c’eran quattro mensole d’un medesimo pezzo con la base.
35 In the top of the base was there a round compass ten and a quarter inches high; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
La parte superiore della base terminava con un cerchio di mezzo cubito d’altezza, ed aveva i suoi sostegni e i suoi riquadri tutti d’un pezzo con la base.
36 On the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.
Sulla parte liscia de’ sostegni e sui riquadri, Hiram scolpì dei cherubini, de’ leoni e delle palme, secondo gli spazi liberi, e delle ghirlande tutt’intorno.
37 In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
Così fece le dieci basi; la fusione, la misura e la forma eran le stesse per tutte.
38 He made ten basins of bronze: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was six feet and eleven inches; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.
Poi fece le dieci conche di rame, ciascuna delle quali conteneva quaranta bati, ed era di quattro cubiti; e ogni conca posava sopra una delle dieci basi.
39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
Egli collocò le basi così: cinque al lato destro della casa, e cinque al lato sinistro; e pose il mare al lato destro della casa, verso sud-est.
40 Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of YHWH:
Hiram fece pure i vasi per le ceneri, le palette ed i bacini.
41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
Così Hiram compì tutta l’opera che il re Salomone gli fece fare per la casa dell’Eterno: le due colonne, le due palle dei capitelli in cima alle colonne, i due reticolati per coprire le due palle dei capitelli in cima alle colonne,
42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
le quattrocento melagrane per i due reticolati, a due ordini di melagrane per ogni reticolato che coprivano le due palle dei capitelli in cima alle colonne,
43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
le dieci basi, le dieci conche sulle basi,
44 and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
il mare, ch’era unico, e i dodici buoi sotto il mare;
45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of YHWH, were of burnished bronze.
i vasi per le ceneri, le palette e i bacini. Tutti questi utensili che Salomone fece fare a Hiram per la casa dell’Eterno, erano di rame tirato a pulimento.
46 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
Il re li fece fondere nella pianura del Giordano, in un suolo argilloso, fra Succoth e Tsarthan.
47 Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
Salomone lasciò tutti questi utensili senza riscontrare il peso del rame, perché erano in grandissima quantità.
48 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of YHWH: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;
Salomone fece fabbricare tutti gli arredi della casa dell’Eterno: l’altare d’oro, la tavola d’oro sulla quale si mettevano i pani della presentazione;
49 and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
i candelabri d’oro puro, cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra, davanti al santuario, con i fiori, le lampade e gli smoccolatoi, d’oro;
50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
le coppe, i coltelli, i bacini, i cucchiai e i bracieri, d’oro fino; e i cardini d’oro per la porta interna della casa all’ingresso del luogo santissimo, e per la porta della casa all’ingresso del tempio.
51 Thus all the work that Solomon performed in the house of YHWH was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of YHWH.
Così fu compiuta tutta l’opera che il re Salomone fece eseguire per la casa dell’Eterno. Poi Salomone fece portare l’argento, l’oro e gli utensili che Davide suo padre avea consacrati, e li mise nei tesori della casa dell’Eterno.
