1 Rois 7
1 Le roi Salomon envoya demander et obtint Hiram de Tyr,
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2 Fils d'une femme veuve, issu de la tribu de Nephthali. Son père était un Tyrien, forgeron plein d'art, d'intelligence et d'habileté pour faire toutes sortes d'ouvrages d'airain; quand on l'eut amené au roi Salomon, il lui fit tous ses travaux.
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was an hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 Il jeta en fonte les deux colonnes du vestibule du temple, chacune haute de dix-huit coudées, ayant quatorze coudées de périmètre et des cannelures de quatre doigts.
And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 Il jeta en fonte, pour les colonnes, deux chapiteaux, ayant chacun cinq coudées de haut.
And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three rows.
5 Il fabriqua deux filets d'airain pour couvrir les deux chapiteaux des colonnes.
And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three rows.
6 Et, pour chaque chapiteau, une guirlande suspendue; deux lignes de grenades d'airain en forme de filets, suspendues en guirlande, une ligne au- dessus de l'autre.
And he made a porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beams were before them.
7 Il dressa les colonnes du vestibule du temple: à l'un, il donna le nom de Jachum, et à l'autre, il donna le nom de Boloz.
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 Et il plaça, dans les chapiteaux des colonnes, dans le sens de la façade du vestibule, des lis d'airain de quatre coudées.
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married, like this porch.
9 Une architrave réunit les deux colonnes, et il y eut de chaque côté une architrave en retour, de la même épaisseur.
All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
10 Et il fit la mer complètement circulaire; tout autour, il y avait dix coudées d'un bord à l'autre; elle était profonde de cinq coudées, et avait trente-trois coudées de circonférence intérieure.
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 Au-dessous de ses bords, il fit des étais tout alentour, dix par coudée.
And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewn stones, and cedars.
12 Ses bords s'évasaient comme une coupe en forme de fleur de lis; et elle avait une palme d'épaisseur.
And the great court all around was with three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
13 Il fit douze bœufs sous la mer: trois regardant le septentrion, trois regardant l'occident, trois regardant le midi, trois regardant le levant; leurs queues étaient tournées vers l'intérieur du temple, et la mer les couvrait.
And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.
14 Il fit dix bassins d'airain, chacun long de cinq coudées, large de quatre, haut de six.
He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and skill in working all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 Ces bassins étaient composés de pièces de rapport, et les pièces rapportées étaient entre les parties saillantes.
For he cast two pillars of brass, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits did surround each of them.
16 Et, sur les pièces rapportées, entres les parties saillantes, il fit des lions, des bœufs, des œuvres variées; et, sur les parties saillantes, en dessus comme en dessous, les places des lions et des bœufs, œuvre allant en pente.
And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits:
17 Et chaque bassin avait quatre roues d'airain, ses accessoires étaient d'airain; et, des quatre côtés, il y avait des supports sous les cuvettes.
And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
18 Il y avait des crampons dans les bassins et dans les roues; la hauteur d'une roue était d'une demi-coudée.
And he made the pillars, and two rows all around upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so he did for the other capital.
19 Et les roues étaient faites comme les roues d'un char; leurs crampons, leurs bandes, leurs accessoires, étaient jetés en fonte.
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 Les quatre supports, aux quatre coins de chaque bassin, faisaient saillie sur lui, et les maintenaient.
And the capitals upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, close to the enlargement which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows all around upon the other capital.
21 Le bassin, dans sa partie supérieure, était terminé par une moulure saillante d'une demi-coudée tout alentour; les crampons s'emboîtaient dans son contour, et le bassin avait une ouverture à l'emboîtement des crampons.
And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
22 Toute sa surface était ornée de chérubins, de lions et de palmes; chacune de ces sculptures faisant saillie sur le fond tout alentour.
And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 Et les dix bassins étaient faits de même, et avaient les mêmes dimensions.
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round in form, and its height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits surrounded it.
24 Et il fit dix cuvettes d'airain, profondes de quatre coudées, contenant chacune quarante conges; et chacune de ces cuvettes fut placée dans l'un des dix bassins.
And under the brim of it all around there were gourds surrounding it, ten in a cubit, all the way around the sea: the gourds were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
25 Hiram plaça cinq bassins du côté de l'aile droite du temple, les cinq autres du côté de l'aile gauche, et la mer du côté de l'aile droite, à l'orient vers le midi.
It stood upon 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 Et Hiram fit encore les chaudières, les poêles et les coupes; enfin, il acheva tous les travaux qu'il fit pour le roi Salomon dans le temple du Seigneur, savoir:
And it was an hand breadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
27 les deux colonnes et les deux guirlandes pour leurs chapiteaux, et deux filets pour couvrir les deux guirlandes des cannelures qui étaient sur les colonnes.
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it.
28 Les quatre cents grenades entremêlées dans les filets; deux rangées de grenades par filet, pour voiler les guirlandes de la coupe, en forme de lis, sur les deux colonnes;
And the work of the bases was in this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the frames:
29 Les dix bassins et les dix cuvettes posées dans les bassins,
And on the borders that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and upon the frames there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
30 La mer et les douze bœufs sous la mer;
And every base had four brasen wheels, and axles of brass: and its four corners had supports: under the laver were molten supports at the side of every addition.
31 Les chaudières, les poêles, les coupes et tous les vases que Salomon lui avait commandés pour le temple du Seigneur, et les quarante-huit colonnes du palais du roi et du temple du Seigneur. Tels furent les travaux qu'Hiram fit en entier pour le roi Salomon.
And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: but the mouth of it was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were carvings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 On ne pesa point l'airain que l'on y employa; la quantité en fut telle qu'on ne put la mesurer.
And under the borders were four wheels; and the axles of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 On jeta l'airain en fonte auprès du Jourdain dans une terre argileuse, entre Socchoth et Sira.
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their hubs, and their rims, and their spokes, were all cast.
34 Salomon prit les ornements qu'Hiram avait faits dans le temple du Seigneur: l'autel d'or, la table d'or des pains de proposition;
And there were four supports to the four corners of one base: and the supports were of the very base itself.
35 Les cinq chandeliers d'or placés à gauche, et les cinq placés à droite de la face de l'oracle, tous d'or et de pièces rajustées; et les petites lampes, et les luminaires, et les burettes d'or.
And in the top of the base it was perfectly round at a height of half a cubit: and on the top of the base its frames and its borders were of the same.
36 Il avait fait faire aussi les panneaux des portiques, les clous, les coupes, les plats et les encensoirs d'or, et les panneaux des portes intérieures du temple et du Saint des saints, et les portes d'or de la nef.
For on the plates of its frames, and on its borders, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions all around.
37 Tous les travaux du temple du Seigneur que Salomon fit faire étant terminés, il transporta les objets d'or et d'argent consacrés par David son père, et par lui-même, et il les déposa dans le trésor du temple du Seigneur.
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
38 Ensuite, Salomon fit bâtir pour lui-même un palais en treize ans.
Then he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
39 Il le bâtit en cèdres du Liban; ce palais était long de cent coudées, large de cinquante, haut de trente; il avait trois rangs de colonnes de cèdre; et les traverses entre les chapiteaux étaient en cèdre.
And he put five bases 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.
40 Il plafonna le palais au-dessus des colonnes; chaque rang de colonnes en comptait quarante-cinq.
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he made for king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
41 Et il fit trois chambres par rangée, et elles étaient également espacées.
The two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars;
42 Il fit toutes les portes, et les intervalles formant les chambres étaient carrés, et les portes correspondaient aux portes dans les trois rangées.
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;
43 Il fit un vestibule de colonnes, lequel avait cinquante coudées de long et cinquante coudées de large, et se rattachait à un autre vestibule qui lui faisait face; et il y avait, sur la façade des vestibules, des colonnes très grosses.
And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
44 Il fit aussi le vestibule des trônes, où le roi jugeait; c'était la galerie du jugement;
And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
45 Et le palais auquel appartenaient ces vestibules et où le roi devait demeurer avait un parvis, par où on allait à ces vestibules, et construit comme eux; il fit encore le palais de la fille du Pharaon, que le roi avait épousée, de même architecture que les vestibules.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.
46 Tous ces bâtiments étaient en bonnes pierres de taille, sculptées par intervalles extérieurement, depuis le sol jusqu'à la corniche; au dehors il y avait un grand parvis;
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 Ses fondations étaient de grandes et belles pierres, longues de dix et de huit coudées,
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were very many: neither was the weight of the brass known.
48 En haut desquelles il y avait de belles pierres aussi grandes que les pierres de taille, et des cèdres.
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which was the showbread,
49 Et il y avait autour du parvis trois rangs de pierres de taille, et un rang de cèdres sculptés.
And the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 Ainsi Salomon acheva tout son palais.
And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple.
So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, he placed among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
