Zidirea Templului
5 Hiram(A), împăratul Tirului, a trimis pe slujitorii săi la Solomon, căci auzise că fusese uns împărat în locul tatălui său şi el iubise(B) totdeauna pe David. 2 Solomon(C) a trimis vorbă lui Hiram: 3 „Ştii că tatăl meu David n-a putut să zidească o casă Domnului, Dumnezeului lui, din pricina războaielor(D) cu care l-au înconjurat vrăjmaşii lui, până ce Domnul i-a pus sub talpa picioarelor lui. 4 Acum, Domnul, Dumnezeul meu, mi-a dat odihnă(E) din toate părţile; nu mai am nici potrivnic, nici nenorociri! 5 Iată(F) că am de gând să zidesc o casă Numelui Domnului, Dumnezeului meu, cum(G) a spus Domnul tatălui meu David, zicând: ‘Fiul tău pe care-l voi pune în locul tău, pe scaunul tău de domnie, el va zidi o casă Numelui Meu’. 6 Porunceşte acum să se taie pentru mine cedri(H) din Liban. Slujitorii mei vor fi cu ai tăi şi-ţi voi plăti simbria slujitorilor tăi aşa cum o vei hotărî tu, căci ştii că dintre noi nimeni nu se pricepe să taie lemne ca sidonienii.” 7 Când a auzit Hiram cuvintele lui Solomon, a avut o mare bucurie şi a zis: „Binecuvântat să fie astăzi Domnul, care a dat lui David un fiu înţelept drept căpetenie a acestui mare popor!” 8 Şi Hiram a trimis răspuns lui Solomon: „Am auzit ce ai trimis să mi se spună. Voi face tot ce vei vrea în ce priveşte lemnele de cedru şi lemnele de chiparos. 9 Slujitorii mei le vor pogorî din Liban la mare şi(I) le voi trimite pe mare în plute, până la locul pe care mi-l vei arăta: acolo voi pune să le dezlege şi le vei lua. Ceea ce cer în schimb este să trimiţi merinde(J) casei mele.” 10 Hiram a dat lui Solomon lemne de cedru şi lemne de chiparos cât a voit. 11 Şi Solomon(K) a dat lui Hiram douăzeci de mii de cori de grâu pentru hrana casei lui şi douăzeci de cori de untdelemn curat; iată ce a dat Solomon în fiecare an lui Hiram. 12 Domnul a dat înţelepciune lui Solomon, cum(L) îi făgăduise. Între Hiram şi Solomon a fost pace şi au făcut legământ împreună. 13 Împăratul Solomon a luat din tot Israelul oameni de corvoadă, în număr de treizeci de mii. 14 I-a trimis în Liban, câte zece mii pe lună, cu schimbul; o lună erau în Liban şi două luni erau acasă. Adoniram era mai-mare peste(M) oamenii de corvoadă. 15 Solomon(N) mai avea şaptezeci de mii de oameni care purtau poverile şi optzeci de mii care tăiau pietrele în munţi, 16 afară de căpeteniile, în număr de trei mii trei sute, puse de Solomon peste lucrări şi însărcinate cu privegherea lucrătorilor. 17 Împăratul a poruncit să se scoată pietre mari şi măreţe, cioplite(O) pentru temeliile casei. 18 Lucrătorii lui Solomon, ai lui Hiram şi ghibliţii le-au cioplit şi au pregătit lemnele şi pietrele pentru zidirea casei.

5 Hiram, roi de Tyr, envoya ses serviteurs vers Salomon, car il apprit qu'on l'avait oint pour roi à la place de son père, et il avait toujours aimé David.
2 Salomon fit dire à Hiram:
3 Tu sais que David, mon père, n'a pas pu bâtir une maison à l'Éternel, son Dieu, à cause des guerres dont ses ennemis l'ont enveloppé jusqu'à ce que l'Éternel les eût mis sous la plante de ses pieds.
4 Maintenant l'Éternel, mon Dieu, m'a donné du repos de toutes parts; plus d'adversaires, plus de calamités!
5 Voici, j'ai l'intention de bâtir une maison au nom de l'Éternel, mon Dieu, comme l'Éternel l'a déclaré à David, mon père, en disant: Ton fils que je mettrai à ta place sur ton trône, ce sera lui qui bâtira une maison à mon nom.
6 Ordonne maintenant que l'on coupe pour moi des cèdres du Liban. Mes serviteurs seront avec les tiens, et je te paierai le salaire de tes serviteurs tel que tu l'auras fixé; car tu sais qu'il n'y a personne parmi nous qui s'entende à couper les bois comme les Sidoniens.
7 Lorsqu'il entendit les paroles de Salomon, Hiram eut une grande joie, et il dit: Béni soit aujourd'hui l'Éternel, qui a donné à David un fils sage pour chef de ce grand peuple!
8 Et Hiram fit répondre à Salomon: J'ai entendu ce que tu m'as envoyé dire. Je ferai tout ce qui te plaira au sujet des bois de cèdre et des bois de cyprès.
9 Mes serviteurs les descendront du Liban à la mer, et je les expédierai par mer en radeaux jusqu'au lieu que tu m'indiqueras; là, je les ferai délier, et tu les prendras. Ce que je désire en retour, c'est que tu fournisses des vivres à ma maison.
10 Hiram donna à Salomon des bois de cèdre et des bois de cyprès autant qu'il en voulut.
11 Et Salomon donna à Hiram vingt mille cors de froment pour l'entretien de sa maison et vingt cors d'huile d'olives concassées; c'est ce que Salomon donna chaque année à Hiram.
12 L'Éternel donna de la sagesse à Salomon, comme il le lui avait promis. Et il y eut paix entre Hiram et Salomon, et ils firent alliance ensemble.
13 Le roi Salomon leva sur tout Israël des hommes de corvée; ils étaient au nombre de trente mille.
14 Il les envoya au Liban, dix mille par mois alternativement; ils étaient un mois au Liban, et deux mois chez eux. Adoniram était préposé sur les hommes de corvée.
15 Salomon avait encore soixante-dix mille hommes qui portaient les fardeaux et quatre-vingt mille qui taillaient les pierres dans la montagne,
16 sans compter les chefs, au nombre de trois mille trois cents, préposés par Salomon sur les travaux et chargés de surveiller les ouvriers.
17 Le roi ordonna d'extraire de grandes et magnifiques pierres de taille pour les fondements de la maison.
18 Les ouvriers de Salomon, ceux de Hiram, et les Guibliens, les taillèrent, et ils préparèrent les bois et les pierres pour bâtir la maison.

Preparations for Building the Temple(A)
5 [a]When Hiram(B) king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king to succeed his father David, he sent his envoys to Solomon, because he had always been on friendly terms with David. 2 Solomon sent back this message to Hiram:
3 “You know that because of the wars(C) waged against my father David from all sides, he could not build(D) a temple for the Name of the Lord his God until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.(E) 4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest(F) on every side, and there is no adversary(G) or disaster. 5 I intend, therefore, to build a temple(H) for the Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David, when he said, ‘Your son whom I will put on the throne in your place will build the temple for my Name.’(I)
6 “So give orders that cedars(J) of Lebanon be cut for me. My men will work with yours, and I will pay you for your men whatever wages you set. You know that we have no one so skilled in felling timber as the Sidonians.”
7 When Hiram heard Solomon’s message, he was greatly pleased and said, “Praise be to the Lord(K) today, for he has given David a wise son to rule over this great nation.”
8 So Hiram sent word to Solomon:
“I have received the message you sent me and will do all you want in providing the cedar and juniper logs. 9 My men will haul them down from Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea(L), and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate them and you can take them away. And you are to grant my wish by providing food(M) for my royal household.”
10 In this way Hiram kept Solomon supplied with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted, 11 and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors[b] of wheat as food(N) for his household, in addition to twenty thousand baths[c][d] of pressed olive oil. Solomon continued to do this for Hiram year after year. 12 The Lord gave Solomon wisdom,(O) just as he had promised him. There were peaceful relations between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.(P)
13 King Solomon conscripted laborers(Q) from all Israel—thirty thousand men. 14 He sent them off to Lebanon in shifts of ten thousand a month, so that they spent one month in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram(R) was in charge of the forced labor. 15 Solomon had seventy thousand carriers and eighty thousand stonecutters in the hills, 16 as well as thirty-three hundred[e] foremen(S) who supervised the project and directed the workers. 17 At the king’s command they removed from the quarry(T) large blocks of high-grade stone(U) to provide a foundation of dressed stone for the temple. 18 The craftsmen of Solomon and Hiram(V) and workers from Byblos(W) cut and prepared the timber and stone for the building of the temple.

King James Version
5 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4 But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
