1 Raja-raja 7
1 Salomo membangun juga istana untuk dirinya. Pembangunan istana itu makan waktu tiga belas tahun.
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2 Di istana itu Salomo membuat ruangan yang disebut "Balai Hutan Libanon". Ukurannya: panjang 44 meter, lebar 22 meter, dan tinggi 13,5 meter. Balai itu mempunyai tiga jajar tiang dari kayu cemara Libanon; tiap jajar terdiri dari lima belas tiang dan di atasnya dipasang kasau-kasau dari kayu cemara Libanon. Langit-langitnya terbuat dari kayu yang sama dan menutupi kasau-kasau itu.
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 Pada dinding kiri dan kanan balai itu terdapat jendela-jendela: tiga deretan pada dinding yang satu berhadapan dengan tiga deretan pada dinding yang lainnya. Bingkai pintu-pintu dan jendela-jendelanya berbentuk empat persegi panjang.
And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
6 Salomo juga membangun "Balai Pilar". Panjang balai itu 22 meter dan lebarnya 13,5 meter. Di depan balai itu ada serambi yang berpilar dan bertangga.
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
7 Balai yang lain ialah "Balai Tahta" yang disebut juga Balai Pengadilan. Balai ini dari lantai sampai ke kasau-kasaunya dilapisi dengan kayu cemara Libanon. Di balai inilah Salomo memutuskan perkara-perkara pengadilan.
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 Tempat tinggal Salomo dibuat seperti gedung-gedung lainnya dan terdapat di pelataran lain di belakang Balai Pengadilan. Untuk istrinya, yaitu putri raja Mesir, Salomo membangun juga gedung yang serupa.
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 taken to wife, like unto this porch.
9 Semua bangunan itu, termasuk pelataran besarnya, dari pondasinya sampai ke atapnya, dibuat dari batu yang bagus-bagus. Batu-batu itu disiapkan di tambang batu, dan dipotong menurut ukuran; bagian dalam dan bagian luarnya diratakan dengan gergaji.
All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
10 Pondasi gedung-gedung itu dibuat dari batu-batu besar yang berharga. Batu-batu itu ada yang 3,5 meter panjangnya, ada pula yang empat meter.
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 Di atasnya dipasang batu-batu lain yang berharga dan dipotong menurut ukuran, lalu ditutup dengan kayu cemara Libanon.
And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
12 Tembok pelataran istana dan tembok pelataran dalam di Rumah TUHAN serta tembok balai di bagian depan Rumah TUHAN, masing-masing terdiri dari satu lapisan kayu cemara Libanon di atas tiap tiga lapisan batu.
And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed 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 Di kota Tirus ada seorang laki-laki bernama Huram. Ia benar-benar ahli dan banyak berpengalaman dalam membuat segala macam barang perunggu. Almarhum ayahnya adalah orang Tirus dan juga ahli dalam barang-barang perunggu. Ibunya dari suku Naftali. Raja Salomo telah menyuruh orang pergi menjemput Huram untuk datang dan mengepalai seluruh pekerjaan pembuatan barang perunggu. Maka datanglah Huram dan mengerjakan apa yang diminta oleh Salomo.
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
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 cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 Huram membuat dua tiang perunggu masing-masing tingginya 8 meter, lingkarnya 5,3 meter, dan tebal perunggunya 7,4 sentimeter. Tiang-tiang itu kosong di dalamnya.
For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
16 Untuk tiang-tiang itu ia membuat dua kepala tiang dari perunggu, masing-masing tingginya 2,2 meter
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 berbentuk bunga bakung setinggi 1,8 meter. Setiap kepala tiang itu dihias dengan dua jajar buah delima dari perunggu. Semuanya ada dua ratus buah delima pada setiap kepala tiang. Lalu Huram membuat anyaman rantai dari perunggu dan menaruhnya di atas tiang-tiang itu. Ada tujuh anyaman rantai di atas setiap tiang, dan di atas anyaman rantai itu pula ada sebuah alas bundar. Di atas alas bundar inilah
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.
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other capital.
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
And the capitals upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, opposite to the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other capital.
21 kepala-kepala tiang yang berbentuk bunga bakung itu dipasang pada tiang-tiang itu. Tiang-tiang itu ditempatkan di depan pintu masuk ke Rumah TUHAN--satu di sebelah selatan, yang lainnya di sebelah utara. Yang di sebelah selatan dinamakan Yakhin, dan yang di sebelah utara dinamakan Boas. Demikianlah Huram menyelesaikan pembuatan tiang-tiang itu.
And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 Kemudian Huram membuat sebuah bejana perunggu yang bundar, dengan ukuran sebagai berikut: dalamnya 2,2 meter, garis tengahnya 4,4 meter dan lingkarnya 13,2 meter.
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
24 Sekeliling tepi luarnya dihias dengan dua jajar buah labu, yang dicor bersama-sama dengan bejana itu.
And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
25 Bejana itu ditempatkan di atas punggung dua belas sapi perunggu--tiga menghadap ke utara, tiga ke selatan, tiga ke barat, dan tiga ke timur.
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 Tebal bejana itu 75 milimeter. Tepinya serupa tepi cangkir yang melengkung keluar mirip bunga bakung yang mekar. Bejana itu dapat memuat kira-kira 40.000 liter.
And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
27 Huram juga membuat sepuluh kereta perunggu, masing-masing panjangnya 1,8 meter, lebarnya 1,8 meter, tingginya 1,3 meter.
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
28 Kereta-kereta itu terdiri dari papan-papan persegi yang dipasang dalam bingkai.
And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
29 Papan-papan itu dihias dengan ukiran singa, sapi dan kerub. Pada bingkai-bingkainya--di atas dan di bawah gambar-gambar singa dan sapi itu--tergantung ukiran rangkaian bunga.
And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
30 Setiap kereta itu mempunyai empat roda perunggu dengan poros roda dari perunggu juga. Pada keempat sudut kereta itu ada tiang penahan baskom dari perunggu dengan hiasan rangkaian bunga di sebelah luarnya.
And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had supporters: under the vessel that holds water were supporters molten, at the side of every addition.
31 Bagian atas keempat tiang penahan itu dihubungkan oleh sebuah bingkai bundar untuk penahan baskomnya. Tiang-tiang penahan itu menonjol setinggi 44 sentimeter di atas papan persegi itu, dan 22 sentimeter di bawahnya. Pada mulut bingkai itu ada ukiran.
And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were engravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 Tinggi roda-rodanya 66 sentimeter; letaknya di bawah papan-papan. Poros rodanya dengan keretanya merupakan satu bagian.
And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 Roda-rodanya itu serupa dengan roda kereta perang; lingkar roda, jari-jari, poros dan pusat jari-jari rodanya semuanya terbuat dari perunggu.
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their rims, and their spokes, were all molten.
34 Ada empat tiang penahan pada setiap sudut bagian bawah kereta itu. Tiang-tiang itu merupakan satu bagian dengan keretanya.
And there were four supporters to the four corners of one base: and the supporters were of the very base itself.
35 Di sekeliling bagian atas kereta itu ada pinggiran selebar 22 sentimeter. Tiang penahannya dan papan-papannya semuanya merupakan satu bagian dengan keretanya.
And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
36 Tiang-tiang penahan dan papan-papan itu dihiasi dengan gambar kerub, singa, dan pohon palem di mana saja ada tempat yang kosong untuk itu, disertai rangkaian bunga sekelilingnya.
For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
37 Demikianlah caranya kereta-kereta itu dibuat. Semuanya serupa--bentuk dan ukurannya.
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
38 Huram membuat juga sepuluh baskom besar, satu untuk setiap kereta. Tiap baskom itu mempunyai garis tengah 1,8 meter dan dapat memuat 800 liter air.
Then made he ten lavers of brass: one vessel that holds water contained forty baths: and every vessel that holds water was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one vessel that holds water.
39 Huram menaruh lima kereta di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN, dan lima di sebelah utara. Bejana perunggu diletakkannya di sudut sebelah tenggara.
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 opposite to the south.
40 Huram membuat juga kuali-kuali, sekop-sekop dan mangkuk-mangkuk. Sesudah itu selesailah seluruh pekerjaannya bagi Raja Salomo untuk Rumah TUHAN. Inilah perlengkapan yang telah dibuatnya: Dua tiang besar; Dua kepala tiang berbentuk mangkuk yang ditempatkan di atas kedua tiang itu; Anyaman rantai pada setiap kepala tiang; Empat ratus delima perunggu yang disusun dalam dua jajar sekeliling anyaman rantai pada setiap kepala tiang; Sepuluh kereta; Sepuluh baskom besar; Bejana perunggu; Dua belas sapi perunggu yang menopang bejana itu; Kuali-kuali, sekop-sekop dan mangkuk-mangkuk. Semua perlengkapan untuk Rumah TUHAN itu, yang dibuat Huram untuk Raja Salomo, dibuat dari perunggu, dan digosok sampai berkilap.
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
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;
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;
And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.
46 Raja menyuruh membuat barang-barang itu di pengecoran logam antara Sukot dan Sartan di Lembah Yordan.
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 Salomo tidak menyuruh menimbang barang-barang perunggu itu, sebab jumlahnya terlalu banyak. Jadi, berat barang-barang itu tidak diketahui.
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
48 Raja Salomo juga menyuruh membuat perlengkapan-perlengkapan lain dari emas untuk Rumah TUHAN. Inilah perlengkapan-perlengkapan yang dibuatnya itu: Mezbah; Meja untuk roti yang dipersembahkan kepada Allah; Sepuluh kaki pelita yang ditempatkan di depan Ruang Mahasuci yaitu lima di sebelah selatan dan lima di sebelah utara; Bunga-bunga; Pelita-pelita; Sepit-sepit; Cangkir-cangkir; Alat pemadam pelita; Mangkuk-mangkuk; Piring-piring untuk dupa; Piring-piring untuk bara; Engsel-engsel untuk pintu Ruang Mahasuci dan pintu-pintu luar Rumah TUHAN.
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the showbread was,
And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, 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, to know, of the temple.
51 Setelah Raja Salomo selesai membangun Rumah TUHAN, ia menyimpan di dalam gudang-gudang rumah itu semua perak, emas, dan barang-barang lain yang telah dipersembahkan oleh Daud ayahnya kepada TUHAN.
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, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
