¹Salomo membangun juga istana untuk dirinya. Pembangunan istana itu makan waktu tiga belas tahun.

¹Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

²Di 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.

²For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

³(7:2)

³It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row.

⁴Pada 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.

⁴There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.

⁵(7:4)

⁵All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.

⁶Salomo juga membangun "Balai Pilar". Panjang balai itu 22 meter dan lebarnya 13,5 meter. Di depan balai itu ada serambi yang berpilar dan bertangga.

⁶He made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.

⁷Balai 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.

⁷He 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 floor.

⁸Tempat 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.

⁸His 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.

⁹Semua 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.

⁹All 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.

¹⁰Pondasi gedung-gedung itu dibuat dari batu-batu besar yang berharga. Batu-batu itu ada yang 3,5 meter panjangnya, ada pula yang empat meter.

¹⁰The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

¹¹Di atasnya dipasang batu-batu lain yang berharga dan dipotong menurut ukuran, lalu ditutup dengan kayu cemara Libanon.

¹¹Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.

¹²Tembok 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.

¹²The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and the porch of the house.

¹³Di 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.

¹³King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

¹⁴(7:13)

¹⁴He was the son of a widow 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, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.

¹⁵Huram 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.

¹⁵For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them about.

¹⁶Untuk tiang-tiang itu ia membuat dua kepala tiang dari perunggu, masing-masing tingginya 2,2 meter

¹⁶He made two capitals of molten brass, to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

¹⁷berbentuk 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

¹⁷There 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.

¹⁸(7:17)

¹⁸So he made the pillars; and there were 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.

¹⁹(7:17)

¹⁹The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.

²⁰(7:17)

²⁰There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows around on the other capital.

²¹kepala-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.

²¹He set up the pillars at 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(7:21)

²²On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

²³Kemudian 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.

²³He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.

²⁴Sekeliling tepi luarnya dihias dengan dua jajar buah labu, yang dicor bersama-sama dengan bejana itu.

²⁴Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

²⁵Bejana itu ditempatkan di atas punggung dua belas sapi perunggu--tiga menghadap ke utara, tiga ke selatan, tiga ke barat, dan tiga ke timur.

²⁵It 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 hinder parts were inward.

²⁶Tebal 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.

²⁶It was a handbreadth thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

²⁷Huram juga membuat sepuluh kereta perunggu, masing-masing panjangnya 1,8 meter, lebarnya 1,8 meter, tingginya 1,3 meter.

²⁷He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.

²⁸Kereta-kereta itu terdiri dari papan-papan persegi yang dipasang dalam bingkai.

²⁸The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

²⁹Papan-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.

²⁹and 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.

³⁰Setiap 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.

³⁰Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

³¹Bagian 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.

³¹The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

³²Tinggi roda-rodanya 66 sentimeter; letaknya di bawah papan-papan. Poros rodanya dengan keretanya merupakan satu bagian.

³²The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

³³Roda-rodanya itu serupa dengan roda kereta perang; lingkar roda, jari-jari, poros dan pusat jari-jari rodanya semuanya terbuat dari perunggu.

³³The 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.

³⁴Ada empat tiang penahan pada setiap sudut bagian bawah kereta itu. Tiang-tiang itu merupakan satu bagian dengan keretanya.

³⁴There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.

³⁵Di sekeliling bagian atas kereta itu ada pinggiran selebar 22 sentimeter. Tiang penahannya dan papan-papannya semuanya merupakan satu bagian dengan keretanya.

³⁵In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.

³⁶Tiang-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.

³⁶On 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.

³⁷Demikianlah caranya kereta-kereta itu dibuat. Semuanya serupa--bentuk dan ukurannya.

³⁷In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

³⁸Huram membuat juga sepuluh baskom besar, satu untuk setiap kereta. Tiap baskom itu mempunyai garis tengah 1,8 meter dan dapat memuat 800 liter air.

³⁸He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.

³⁹Huram menaruh lima kereta di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN, dan lima di sebelah utara. Bejana perunggu diletakkannya di sudut sebelah tenggara.

³⁹He 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.

⁴⁰Huram 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.

⁴⁰Hiram made the basins, 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 Yahweh:

⁴¹(7:40)

⁴¹the 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;

⁴²(7:40)

⁴²and 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;

⁴³(7:40)

⁴³and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;

⁴⁴(7:40)

⁴⁴and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

⁴⁵(7:40)

⁴⁵and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished brass.

⁴⁶Raja menyuruh membuat barang-barang itu di pengecoran logam antara Sukot dan Sartan di Lembah Yordan.

⁴⁶The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

⁴⁷Salomo tidak menyuruh menimbang barang-barang perunggu itu, sebab jumlahnya terlalu banyak. Jadi, berat barang-barang itu tidak diketahui.

⁴⁷Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.

⁴⁸Raja 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.

⁴⁸Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;

⁴⁹(7:48)

⁴⁹and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

⁵⁰(7:48)

⁵⁰and 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.

⁵¹Setelah 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.

⁵¹Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house of Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
