1 D espués edificó Salomón su propia casa en trece años, y la terminó toda.

Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all of it.

2 A simismo edificó la casa «Bosque del Líbano», de cien codos de longitud, cincuenta codos de anchura y treinta codos de altura, sobre cuatro hileras de columnas de cedro, con vigas de cedro sobre las columnas.

He built the house of the trees of Lebanon. It was as long as fifty long steps, as wide as twenty-five long steps, and eight times taller than a man. It was built on four rows of cedar pillars, and large pieces of cedar wood lying on top of the pillars.

3 H abía una cubierta de tablas de cedro sobre las vigas que se apoyaban en cuarenta y cinco columnas; cada hilera tenía quince columnas.

And it was covered with cedar above the rooms that were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.

4 Y había tres hileras de ventanas, una frente a la otra en tres hileras.

There were three rows of special windows on one side, and three rows of windows on the other side.

5 T odas las puertas y los marcos tenían forma cuadrangular, y unas ventanas estaban frente a las otras en tres hileras.

All the doors and windows were as high as they were wide. And there were three rows of windows on each side.

6 T ambién hizo un pórtico de columnas, que tenía cincuenta codos de largo y treinta codos de ancho. Este pórtico estaba delante de las primeras, con sus columnas y maderos correspondientes.

Then he made a room for walking through of large pillars. It was as long as twenty-five long steps, and as wide as fifteen long steps. There was a porch in front with pillars, and an overhead covering in front of them.

7 H izo asimismo el pórtico del trono donde administraría justicia, el pórtico del juicio, y lo recubrió de cedro del suelo al techo.

He made a room for the throne, the room for judging. It was where he would decide between right and wrong. It was covered with cedar from the floor to the roof.

8 L a casa donde él vivía, en otro atrio dentro del pórtico, era de una obra de estilo semejante a ésta. Edificó también Salomón para la hija del faraón, a la que había hecho su mujer, una casa de hechura semejante a la del pórtico.

His own house where he was to live, in the place behind the throne room, was built the same way. Solomon made a house like this room for Pharaoh’s daughter also, whom he had married.

9 T odas aquellas obras eran de piedras selectas, cortadas y ajustadas con sierras según las medidas, así por dentro como por fuera, desde el cimiento hasta los remates, y asimismo por fuera hasta el gran atrio.

All these were made with stones of much worth, each one cut to be put into place. They were cut with saws, inside and outside, from the very base to the top of the roof, and from the outside to the largest room.

10 E l cimiento era de piedras seleccionadas, piedras grandes, piedras de diez codos y piedras de ocho codos.

The base of the building was made with large stones of much worth. The stones were as long as five long steps, and four long steps.

11 D e allí hacia arriba era también de piedras costosas, labradas conforme a sus medidas, y madera de cedro.

Above this were stones of much worth, cut to go well into place, and cedar.

12 A lrededor del gran atrio había tres hileras de piedras labradas, y una hilera de vigas de cedro, igual que en el atrio interior de la casa de Jehová y el vestíbulo de la Casa. Salomón emplea a Hiram, de Tiro

The largest room had three rows of cut stone around it, and a row of cedar pieces. The same was around the open space in the house of the Lord, and the porch of the house. Hiram—the Able Workman

13 E l rey Salomón mandó a buscar de Tiro a Hiram,

Now King Solomon brought Hiram from Tyre.

14 h ijo de una viuda de la tribu de Neftalí. Su padre, que trabajaba el bronce, era de Tiro. Hiram estaba lleno de sabiduría, inteligencia y ciencia para toda labor en bronce. Este, pues, se presentó ante el rey Salomón e hizo todas sus obras.

Hiram was the son of a woman whose husband had died, from the family of Naphtali. His father was a man of Tyre, who worked with brass. He was filled with wisdom and understanding and much learning for doing any work with brass. So he came to King Solomon, and did all his work. The Two Brass Pillars

15 V ació dos columnas de bronce, cada una de dieciocho codos de altura y doce codos de circunferencia.

He made the two pillars of brass. One of them was five times taller than a man. And the length around each of them was as far as six long steps.

16 H izo también dos capiteles de fundición de bronce, para que fueran puestos sobre las cabezas de las columnas. La altura de un capitel era de cinco codos, y la del otro capitel también de cinco codos.

He made two top pieces of melted brass to set on the tops of the pillars. One piece to go on top was as tall as a man can raise his hand. And the other piece to go on top was as tall as a man can raise his hand.

17 H abía trenzas a manera de red y unos cordones a manera de cadenas, para los capiteles que se pondrían sobre las cabezas de las columnas; siete para cada capitel.

He made nets of network and turned strings of chain-work for the pieces on top of the pillars. There were seven for one top piece, and seven for the other.

18 H izo también dos hileras de granadas alrededor de la red, para recubrir con ellas los capiteles que estaban en las cabezas de las columnas; de la misma forma hizo en el otro capitel.

So Hiram made the pillars. There were two rows of pomegranates around each network, to cover the top pieces.

19 L os capiteles que estaban sobre las columnas en el pórtico tenían forma de lirios y eran de cuatro codos.

Now the top pieces on the pillars of the porch were made to look like lily flowers, as tall as a man.

20 L os capiteles de las dos columnas tenían también doscientas granadas en dos hileras alrededor de cada capitel, encima de su globo, el cual estaba rodeado por la red.

The top pieces were upon the two pillars, and above the round part beside the network. There were 200 pomegranates in rows around both top pieces.

21 E rigió estas columnas en el pórtico del Templo. Cuando alzó la columna del lado derecho le puso por nombre Jaquín, y cuando alzó la columna del lado izquierdo la llamó Boaz.

He set up the pillars at the porch of the house. He set up the right pillar and called it Jachin. And he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.

22 C olocó en las cabezas de las columnas un tallado en forma de lirios, y así se acabó la obra de las columnas. Mobiliario del Templo

The top pieces on the pillars were made to look like lily flowers. So the work of the pillars was finished. The Brass Pool

23 H izo fundir asimismo un mar de diez codos de un lado al otro, perfectamente redondo. Tenía cinco codos de altura y a su alrededor un cordón de treinta codos.

Now he made a large brass water pool. It was round, and as wide as five long steps. It was as tall as a man can raise his hand. And the length around it was as far as fifteen long steps.

24 R odeaban aquel mar por debajo de su borde, todo alrededor, unas bolas como calabazas, diez por cada codo, que ceñían el mar en dos filas, las cuales habían sido fundidas junto con el mar.

Gourds went around the top of the pool. There were ten of them for every cubit. The gourds were in two rows, and made right in with the pool.

25 D escansaba sobre doce bueyes, tres miraban al norte, tres miraban al occidente, tres miraban al sur, y tres miraban al oriente. Sobre ellos se apoyaba el mar, y estaban sus patas traseras hacia la parte de adentro.

The pool stood on the backs of twelve bulls made of brass. Three looked to the north. Three looked to the west. Three looked to the south. And three looked to the east. The water was set on top of them, and their back parts turned toward the center.

26 E l grosor del mar era de un palmo menor, y su borde estaba labrado como el borde de un cáliz o de una flor de lis; en él cabían dos mil batos.

The side of the pool was as far through as the width of a man’s open hand. Its round top was made like the top of a cup, like a lily flower. It could hold 2, 000 bottles of water. The Brass Stands

27 H izo también diez basas de bronce, cada una de las cuales tenía cuatro codos de longitud, cuatro codos de anchura y tres codos la altura.

Then he made the ten stands of brass. Each stand was as long as two long steps, as wide as two long steps, and as high as a man’s neck.

28 L as basas estaban hechas de esta manera: tenían unos tableros enmarcados entre molduras,

This is how the stands were made. They had sides of the same length between the cross-pieces.

29 y sobre aquellos tableros que estaban entre molduras había figuras de leones, de bueyes y de querubines. Sobre las molduras de la basa, tanto encima como debajo de los leones y de los bueyes, había unas añadiduras de bajo relieve.

On the side pieces between the cross-pieces were lions, bulls and cherubim. On the side pieces, both above and below the lions and bulls, there were round pieces of hanging work.

30 C ada basa tenía cuatro ruedas de bronce, con ejes de bronce, y en sus cuatro esquinas había repisas de fundición que sobresalían de los festones, para venir a quedar debajo de la fuente.

Each stand had four brass wheels on straight pieces of brass. At the four corners were pieces to hold up the basin. These pieces were made of melted brass with round pieces at each side.

31 L a boca de la fuente entraba un codo en el remate que salía hacia arriba de la basa. La boca era redonda, de la misma hechura del remate, que era de codo y medio. Había también sobre la boca entalladuras con sus tableros, los cuales eran cuadrados, no redondos.

Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit. It was round like a pillar, one and a half cubits deep. There were pictures cut on its opening. And their sides were not round, but had four sides of the same length.

32 L as cuatro ruedas estaban debajo de los tableros, y los ejes de las ruedas nacían en la misma basa. La altura de cada rueda era de un codo y medio.

Under the sides were the four wheels. The pieces that held the wheels were on the stand. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits.

33 L a forma de las ruedas era como la de las ruedas de un carro; sus ejes, sus rayos, sus cubos y sus cinchos, todo era de fundición.

The wheels were made like the wheel of a war-wagon. The straight pieces which held the wheels, the outside of the wheels, their crosspieces and their center pieces were all made of one piece of brass.

34 A simismo las cuatro repisas de las cuatro esquinas de cada basa; las repisas eran parte de la misma basa.

There were four pieces at the four corners of each stand to hold it up. These were of one piece with the stands.

35 E n lo alto de la basa había una pieza redonda de medio codo de altura, y encima de la basa sus molduras y tableros, los cuales salían de ella misma.

A narrow piece went all the way around the top that held it up and the sides were of one piece.

36 G rabó en las tablas de las molduras, y en los tableros, entalladuras de querubines, de leones y de palmeras, proporcionalmente al espacio de cada una, y otros adornos alrededor.

He cut pictures of cherubim, lions and palm trees in the plates of the parts that held it up and on its sides, where there was room. And there were pictures all around.

37 D e esta forma hizo diez basas, fundidas de una misma manera, de una misma medida y de una misma entalladura.

He made the ten stands like this. All of them were made alike. They had the same length, width and height, and looked the same.

38 H izo también diez fuentes de bronce. Cada fuente contenía cuarenta batos, y cada una era de cuatro codos. Y colocó una fuente sobre cada una de las diez basas.

He made ten basins of brass. One basin held 40 bottles of water. Each one was as wide as two long steps. And one basin was on each of the ten stands.

39 P uso cinco basas a la mano derecha de la Casa y las otras cinco a la mano izquierda, y el mar al lado derecho de la Casa, hacia el sudeste.

Then he put the stands in place. Five were on the south side of the house, and five were on the north side of the house. And he set the large basin of brass on the southeast corner of the house.

40 A simismo hizo Hiram fuentes, tenazas y cuencos. Así terminó toda la obra que hizo a Salomón para la casa de Jehová:

Hiram made the basins, and the objects for digging, and the pots. So Hiram finished doing all the work for King Solomon in the house of the Lord.

41 d os columnas y los capiteles redondos que estaban en lo alto de las dos columnas; dos redes que recubrían los dos capiteles redondos que estaban sobre la cabeza de las columnas;

He made the two pillars, and the two pots of the top pieces on the top of the two pillars. And he made the two networks to cover the two pots of the pieces on top of the pillars.

42 c uatrocientas granadas para las dos redes, dos hileras de granadas en cada red, para recubrir los dos capiteles redondos que estaban sobre las cabezas de las columnas;

He made the 400 pomegranates for the two networks. There were two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two pots of the pieces on top of the pillars.

43 l as diez basas y las diez fuentes sobre las basas;

He made the ten stands with the ten basins on top of them.

44 u n mar, con doce bueyes debajo del mar;

He made the large basin and the twelve bulls under it.

45 c alderos, paletas y cuencos. Todos estos utensilios que Hiram hizo al rey Salomón para la casa de Jehová eran de bronce bruñido.

He made the pails, the objects for digging, and the pots. All these things which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were made of shining brass.

46 T odo lo hizo fundir el rey en la llanura del Jordán, en tierra arcillosa, entre Sucot y Saretán.

The king made them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Y no preguntó Salomón sobre el peso del bronce de todos los utensilios por la gran cantidad de ellos.

Solomon did not weigh any of the objects, because there were too many. The weight of the brass was not known.

48 E ntonces hizo Salomón todos los enseres que pertenecían a la casa de Jehová: un altar de oro y una mesa también de oro, sobre la cual estaban los panes de la proposición;

Solomon made all the holy things which were in the house of the Lord. He made the gold altar and the gold table for the bread before the Lord.

49 c inco candelabros de oro purísimo a la mano derecha, y otros cinco a la izquierda, frente al Lugar santísimo, con las flores, las lámparas y tenazas de oro.

He made the lamp-stands of pure gold. There were five on the right side and five on the left side, in front of the most holy place. He made the flowers and the lamps and their objects out of gold.

50 A simismo los cántaros, despabiladeras, tazas, cucharillas e incensarios, de oro purísimo; también eran de oro los quiciales de las puertas de la casa de adentro, del Lugar santísimo, y los de las puertas del Templo.

He made the cups, the objects to put out the lamps, the pots, the dishes for special perfume, and the fire-holders, of pure gold. He made the hinges of gold, for the doors of the most holy place and for the doors of the house.

51 A sí se terminó toda la obra que dispuso hacer el rey Salomón para la casa de Jehová. Salomón llevó lo que su padre David había dedicado, la plata, el oro y los otros utensilios, y lo depositó todo en las tesorerías de la casa de Jehová.

So all the work that King Solomon did in the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which had been set apart by his father David, the silver and the gold and the holy things. He put them in the store-houses of the house of the Lord.
