Ang Palasyo ni Solomon

7 Labingtatlong taon naman ang ginugol ni Solomon sa pagpapagawa ng kanyang palasyo. 2 Ang gusaling tinatawag na Gubat ng Lebanon ay may apatnapu't limang metro ang haba, dalawampu't dalawa't kalahating metro ang luwang at labingtatlo't kalahating metro ang taas. Ang gusaling ito ay may apat na hanay ng haliging sedar, na siyang kinapapatungan ng mga bigang sedar. 3 Sedar din ang bubong ng mga silid na nakapatong sa apatnapu't limang haligi. 4 Tatlong hanay ang mga bintana, at ang mga ito'y magkakatapat. 5 Parihaba ang mga hamba ng mga pinto at bintana, at pawang magkakatapat.

6 Nagpagawa rin siya ng Bulwagan ng mga Haligi na dalawampu't dalawa't kalahating metro ang haba at labingtatlo't kalahating metro naman ang luwang. Sa pagpasok nito ay may isang pasilyong may bubong.

7 Ang silid na kinalalagyan ng trono na tinatawag ding Bulwagan ng Katarungan at kung saan nagbibigay ng hatol si Solomon, ay may dingding, sahig at kisame na tablang sedar.

8 Sa(A) likod naman ng bulwagang iyon ay nagpagawa siya ng kanyang tirahan, at ang yari nito'y tulad ng silid Hukuman. Ang kanyang reyna, ang anak ng Faraon, ay ipinagtayo rin niya ng tirahan, at ito'y katulad ng sa kanya.

9 Ang lahat ng gusali ay yari sa naglalakihang bato na tinabas ng lagari sa likod at harap. 10 May tatlo't kalahating metro ang sukat ng mga batong ginamit sa pundasyon, at mayroon ding apat at kalahating metro. 11 Sa paitaas naman, mamahaling batong tinabas at mga trosong sedar ang ginamit. 12 Gaya ng portiko at patyo ng Templo, ang patyo ng palasyo ay naliligid ng tatlong hanay na batong tinabas at isang hanay na trosong sedar.

Ang mga Kagamitan sa Templo

13 Ipinatawag ni Solomon sa Tiro si Hiram, 14 anak ng isang balo mula sa lipi ni Neftali na napangasawa ng isang manggagawa ng mga kagamitang tanso na taga-Tiro. Si Hiram ay matalinong manggagawa, at mahusay gumawa ng anumang kagamitang tanso. Siya ang ipinatawag ni Haring Solomon upang gumawa ng lahat ng kagamitang yari sa tanso.

Ang mga Haliging Tanso(B)

15 Gumawa siya ng dalawang haliging tanso. Walong metro ang taas ng mga ito at lima't kalahating metro ang sukat sa pabilog. 16 Ang bawat haligi ay nilagyan niya ng koronang tanso na dalawa't kalahating metro ang taas. 17 Gumawa pa siya ng dalawang palamuting animo'y kadena na pinalawit niya sa dakong ibaba ng kapitel, pitong likaw bawat kapitel. 18 Naghulma pa siya ng mga hugis granadang tanso na inilagay niya sa ibaba at itaas ng palamuting kadena, dalawang hanay bawat korona ng haligi.

19 Ang mga korona naman ng mga haligi ay hugis bulaklak ng liryo at dalawang metro ang taas. 20 Sa ibaba nito nakapaligid ang mga granadang tanso, 200 bawat kapitel.

21 Ang mga haliging ito ay itinayo sa pasilyong nasa harap ng Templo, sa magkabilang tabi ng pinto. Ang kanan ay tinawag na Jaquin[a] at ang kaliwa'y Boaz.[b] 22 At sa ibabaw ng mga haligi'y nilagyan ng mga kapitel na hugis-liryo. Dito natapos ang paggawa ng mga haligi.

Ang Tansong Ipunan ng Tubig(C)

23 Gumawa si Hiram ng isang malaking ipunan ng tubig apat at kalahating metro ang luwang ng labi nito, dalawa't kalahating metro ang lalim at labingtatlo't kalahating metro naman ang sukat sa pabilog. 24 Sa gilid nito'y nakapaikot ang palamuting hugis upo, sampu sa bawat kalahating metro. Ang mga palamuti ay nakahanay nang dalawa na kasamang hinulma ng ipunan. 25 Ang ipunan ay ipinatong sa gulugod ng labindalawang torong tanso, na magkakatalikuran: tatlo ang nakaharap sa silangan, tatlo sa kanluran, tatlo sa hilaga at tatlo sa timog. 26 Tatlong pulgada ang kapal ng ipunan at ang labi nito'y parang labi ng tasa, hugis bulaklak ng liryo. Ang ipunang tanso ay naglalaman ng 10,000 galong tubig.

Ang mga Patungan ng Hugasan

27 Gumawa pa siya ng sampung patungang tanso para sa mga hugasan. Bawat isa'y dalawang metro ang haba at lapad; isa't kalahating metro naman ang taas. 28 Ang mga ito ay ginawang parisukat na dingding na nakahinang sa mga balangkas. 29 Ang bawat dingding ay may mga nakaukit na larawan ng leon, baka, at kerubin. Ang mga gilid naman ng balangkas sa itaas at ibaba ng leon at baka ay may mga nakaukit na palamuting bulaklak na hugis korona. 30 Ang bawat patungan ay may apat na gulong na tanso at mga eheng tanso. Sa apat na sulok ng patungan ay may apat na tukod na tanso na siyang patungan ng hugasan. 31 Sa ibabaw ng mga tukod na ito ay may pabilog na balangkas para patungan ng hugasan at may taas na kalahating metro. Ang butas ng korona ay bilog at may 0.7 metro ang lalim. Ngunit parisukat ang ibabaw ng patungan, at ito'y may mga dibuhong nakaukit.

32 Ang bastidor ay nakapatong sa mga ehe ng gulong. Ang mga gulong naman ay nasa ilalim ng mga dingding. Dalawampu't pitong pulgada ang taas ng mga gulong, 33 at ang mga ito'y parang mga gulong ng karwahe; ang mga ehe, gilid, rayos at ang panggitnang bahagi ng gulong ay yaring lahat sa tanso. 34 Ang mga tukod naman sa apat na sulok at ang patungan ay iisang piraso. 35 Ang ibabaw ng patungan ay may leeg na pabilog, siyam na pulgada ang taas. Dito nakasalalay ang labi ng hugasan. Ang leeg, ang kanyang suporta at ang ibabaw ng patungan ay iisang piyesa lamang, 36 at ito'y may mga disenyong kerubin, leon, baka at mga punong palma.

37 Ganyan ang pagkayari ng sampung patungang tanso; iisa ang pagkakahulma, iisang sukat at iisang hugis.

38 Gumawa(D) rin siya ng sampung hugasang tanso, tig-isa ang bawat patungan. Dalawang metro ang luwang ng labi, at naglalaman ang bawat isa ng 880 litrong tubig. 39 Inilagay niya ang lima sa gawing kaliwa at ang lima'y sa gawing kanan ng Templo. Samantala, ang tangkeng tanso ay nasa gawing kanan ng Templo, sa sulok na timog-silangan.

40 Gumawa rin si Hiram ng mga kaldero, mga pala at mga mangkok. Natapos nga niyang lahat ang mga ipinagawa sa kanya ni Haring Solomon: 41 ang dalawang haliging tanso, ang mga kapitel nito at mga kadenang nakapalamuti sa kapitel; 42 ang 400 hugis granada na nakapaligid nang dalawang hanay sa puno ng kapitel; 43 ang sampung hugasan at ang kani-kanilang mga patungan; 44 ang tangkeng tanso at ang labindalawang toro na kinapapatungan niyon; 45 ang mga kaldero, pala at mangkok.

Ang lahat ng nasabing kagamitan na ipinagawa ni Haring Solomon kay Hiram ay purong tanso. 46 Ipinahulma niya ang lahat ng iyon sa kapatagan ng Jordan sa isang pagawaang nasa pagitan ng Sucot at Zaretan. 47 Hindi na ipinatimbang ni Solomon ang mga kasangkapang tanso sapagkat napakarami ng mga iyon.

48 Nagpagawa(E) rin si Solomon ng mga kagamitang ginto na nasa Templo ni Yahweh: ang altar na sunugan ng insenso, ang mesang patungan ng tinapay na handog; 49 ang(F) mga patungan ng ilawan sa harap ng Dakong Kabanal-banalan, lima sa kanan at lima sa kaliwa; ang mga palamuting bulaklak, ang mga ilawan at pang-ipit ng mitsa; 50 ang mga tasang lalagyan ng langis, ang mga pamutol ng mitsa, ang mga mangkok, ang mga sisidlan ng insenso at lalagyan ng apoy; at ang mga paikutan ng mga pinto ng Dakong Kabanal-banalan, at gayundin ng mga pinto ng Dakong Banal.

51 Natapos(G) ngang lahat ang mga ipinagawa ni Solomon para sa Templo ni Yahweh. Tinipon din niya ang lahat ng ginto, pilak at kagamitang inihandog ng kanyang amang si David, at itinago sa lalagyan ng kayamanan ng Templo.

1 Kings 7
New International Version

Solomon Builds His Palace

7 It took Solomon thirteen years, however, to complete the construction of his palace.(A) 2 He built the Palace(B) of the Forest of Lebanon(C) a hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high,[a] with four rows of cedar columns supporting trimmed cedar beams. 3 It was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the columns—forty-five beams, fifteen to a row. 4 Its windows were placed high in sets of three, facing each other. 5 All the doorways had rectangular frames; they were in the front part in sets of three, facing each other.[b]

6 He made a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty wide.[c] In front of it was a portico, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.

7 He built the throne hall, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge,(D) and he covered it with cedar from floor to ceiling.[d](E) 8 And the palace in which he was to live, set farther back, was similar in design. Solomon also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.(F)

9 All these structures, from the outside to the great courtyard and from foundation to eaves, were made of blocks of high-grade stone cut to size and smoothed on their inner and outer faces. 10 The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits[e] and some eight.[f] 11 Above were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams. 12 The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses(G) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the Lord with its portico.

The Temple’s Furnishings(H)(I)

13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,[g](J) 14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom,(K) with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all(L) the work assigned to him.

15 He cast two bronze pillars,(M) each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.[h] 16 He also made two capitals(N) of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits[i] high. 17 A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital. 18 He made pomegranates in two rows[j] encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars.[k] He did the same for each capital. 19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits[l] high. 20 On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates(O) in rows all around. 21 He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin[m] and the one to the north Boaz.[n](P) 22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars(Q) was completed.

23 He made the Sea(R) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line(S) of thirty cubits[o] to measure around it. 24 Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

25 The Sea stood on twelve bulls,(T) three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. 26 It was a handbreadth[p] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.[q]

27 He also made ten movable stands(U) of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.[r] 28 This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights. 29 On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim—and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work. 30 Each stand(V) had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side. 31 On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit[s] deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half.[t] Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round. 32 The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.

34 Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand. 35 At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit[u] deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand. 36 He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around. 37 This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.

38 He then made ten bronze basins,(W) each holding forty baths[v] and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands. 39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple. 40 He also made the pots[w] and shovels and sprinkling bowls.(X)

So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:

41 the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals(Y) on top of the pillars);

43 the ten stands with their ten basins;

44 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

45 the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.(Z)

All these objects that Huram(AA) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain(AB) of the Jordan between Sukkoth(AC) and Zarethan.(AD) 47 Solomon left all these things unweighed,(AE) because there were so many;(AF) the weight of the bronze(AG) was not determined.

48 Solomon also made all(AH) the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple:

the golden altar;

the golden table(AI) on which was the bread of the Presence;(AJ)

49 the lampstands(AK) of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary);

the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;

50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(AL) and censers;(AM)

and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51 When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(AN)—the silver and gold and the furnishings(AO)—and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.
