  [15] καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν καὶ τοὺς μόσχους τοὺς δώδεκα ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς

  [15] and the one sea, and the twelve calves under it;

  [16] καὶ τοὺς ποδιστῆρας καὶ τοὺς ἀναλημπτῆρας καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν, ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου χαλκοῦ καθαροῦ.

  [16] and the foot-baths, and the buckets, and the caldrons, and the flesh-hooks, and all their furniture (which Chiram made, and brought to king Solomon in the house of the Lord) of pure brass.

  [17] ἐν τῷ περιχώρῳ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἐν οἴκῳ Σοκχωθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σιρδαθα.

  [17] In the country round about Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground in the house of Socchoth, and between that and Saredatha.

  [18] καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων πάντα τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπεν ὁλκὴ τοῦ χαλκοῦ.

  [18] So Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the quantity of brass failed not.

  [19] καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν καὶ τὰς τραπέζας [καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτῶν ἄρτοι προθέσεως]

  [19] And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of the Lord, and the golden altar, and the tables, and upon them were to be the loaves of shewbread;

  [20] καὶ τὰς λυχνίας καὶ τοὺς λύχνους τοῦ φωτὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ χρυσίου καθαροῦ

  [20] also the candlesticks, and the lamps to give light according to the pattern, and in front of the oracle, of pure gold.

  [21] καὶ λαβίδες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ λύχνοι αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰς θυίσκας καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα χρυσίου καθαροῦ·

  [21] And their snuffers, and their lamps were made, and he made the bowls, and the censers, and the fire-pans, of pure gold.

  [22] καὶ ἡ θύρα τοῦ οἴκου ἡ ἐσωτέρα εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, εἰς τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς.

  [22] And there was the inner door of the house opening into the holy of holies, and he made the inner doors of the temple of gold. So all the work which Solomon wrought for the house of the Lord was finished.

  CHAPTER 5

  [1] καὶ συνετελέσθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία, ἣν ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου. καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Σαλωμων τὰ ἅγια Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἔδωκεν εἰς θησαυρὸν οἴκου κυρίου.

  [1] And Solomon brought in the holy things of his father David, the silver, and the gold, and the other vessels, and put them in the treasury of the house of the Lord.

  [2] Τότε ἐξεκκλησίασεν Σαλωμων τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ισραηλ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν φυλῶν τοὺς ἡγουμένους πατριῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ εἰς Ιερουσαλημ τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου ἐκ πόλεως Δαυιδ [αὕτη Σιων]·

  [2] Then Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, even the leaders of the families of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, — this is Sion.

  [3] καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθησαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ [οὗτος ὁ μὴν ἕβδομος],

  [3] And all Israel were assembled unto the king in the feast, this is the seventh month.

  [4] καὶ ἦλθον πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ισραηλ, καὶ ἔλαβον πάντες οἱ Λευῖται τὴν κιβωτὸν

  [4] And all the elders of Israel came; and all the Levites took up the ark,

  [5] καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια τὰ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν αὐτὴν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται.

  [5] and the tabernacle of witness, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites brought it up.

  [6] καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι καὶ οἱ ἐπισυνηγμένοι αὐτῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ θύοντες μόσχους καὶ πρόβατα, οἳ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσονται καὶ οἳ οὐ λογισθήσονται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.

  [6] And king Solomon, and all the elders of Israel, and the religious of them, and they of them that were gathered before the ark, were sacrificing calves and sheep, which could not be numbered or reckoned for multitude.

  [7] καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς εἰς τὸ δαβιρ τοῦ οἴκου εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων ὑποκάτω τῶν πτερύγων τῶν χερουβιν,

  [7] And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the house, even into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubs.

  [8] καὶ ἦν τὰ χερουβιν διαπεπετακότα τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ, καὶ συνεκάλυπτεν τὰ χερουβιν ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς αὐτῆς ἐπάνωθεν·

  [8] And the cherubs stretched out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark, and its staves above.

  [9] καὶ ὑπερεῖχον οἱ ἀναφορεῖς, καὶ ἐβλέποντο αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἀναφορέων ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων εἰς πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ, οὐκ ἐβλέποντο ἔξω· καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

  [9] And the staves projected, and the heads of the staves were seen from the holy place in front of the oracle, they were not seen without: and there they were to this day.

  [10] οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ πλὴν δύο πλάκες, ἃς ἔθηκεν Μωϋσῆς ἐν Χωρηβ, ἃ διέθετο κύριος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

  [10] There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses placed there in Choreb, which God gave in covenant with the children of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt.

  [11] καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων – ὅτι πάντες οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἡγιάσθησαν, οὐκ ἦσαν διατεταγμένοι κατ’ ἐφημερίαν,

  [11] And it came to pass, when the priests when out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were found were sanctified, they were not then arranged according to their daily course,)

  [12] καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ πάντες τοῖς υἱοῖς Ασαφ, τῷ Αιμαν, τῷ Ιδιθουν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτ
ῶν, τῶν ἐνδεδυμένων στολὰς βυσσίνας, ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν κινύραις ἑστηκότες κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἱερεῖς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι σαλπίζοντες ταῖς σάλπιγξιν,

  [12] that all the singing Levites assigned to the sons of Asaph, to Æman, to Idithun, and to his sons, and to his brethren, of them that were clothed in linen garments, with cymbals and lutes and harps, were standing before the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, blowing trumpets.

  [13] καὶ ἐγένετο μία φωνὴ ἐν τῷ σαλπίζειν καὶ ἐν τῷ ψαλτῳδεῖν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀναφωνεῖν φωνῇ μιᾷ τοῦ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τῷ κυρίῳ – καὶ ὡς ὕψωσαν φωνὴν ἐν σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν ὀργάνοις τῶν ᾠδῶν καὶ ἔλεγον Ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἀγαθόν, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ οἶκος ἐνεπλήσθη νεφέλης δόξης κυρίου,

  [13] And there was one voice in the trumpeting and in the psalm-singing, and in the loud utterance with one voice to give thanks and praise the Lord; and when they raised their voice together with trumpets and cymbals, and instruments of music, and said, Give thanks to the Lord, for it is good, for his mercy endures for ever: — then the house was filled with the cloud of the glory of the Lord.

  [14] καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ ἱερεῖς τοῦ στῆναι λειτουργεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς νεφέλης, ὅτι ἐνέπλησεν δόξα κυρίου τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ.

  [14] And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

  CHAPTER 6

  [1] τότε εἶπεν Σαλωμων Κύριος εἶπεν τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι ἐν γνόφῳ·

  [1] Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

  [2] καὶ ἐγὼ ᾠκοδόμηκα οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἅγιόν σοι καὶ ἕτοιμον τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

  [2] But I have built a house to thy name, holy to thee, and prepared for thee to dwell in for ever.

  [3] Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὴν πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν Ισραηλ, καὶ πᾶσα ἐκκλησία Ισραηλ παρειστήκει.

  [3] And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.

  [4] καὶ εἶπεν Εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ, ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ πρὸς Δαυιδ τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐν χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσεν λέγων

  [4] And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,

  [5] Ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς ἀνήγαγον τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν πόλει ἀπὸ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τοῦ εἶναι ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν ἀνδρὶ τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ·

  [5] From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.

  [6] καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Ιερουσαλημ γενέσθαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Δαυιδ ὥστε εἶναι ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ μου Ισραηλ.

  [6] But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.

  [7] καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ,

  [7] And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

  [8] καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Δαυιδ πατέρα μου Διότι ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου, καλῶς ἐποίησας ὅτι ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν σου·

  [8] But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it came into thy heart.

  [9] πλὴν σὺ οὐκ οἰκοδομήσεις τὸν οἶκον, ὅτι ὁ υἱός σου, ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου, οὗτος οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου.

  [9] Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; for thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

  [10] καὶ ἀνέστησεν κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐλάλησεν, καὶ ἐγενήθην ἀντὶ Δαυιδ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκάθισα ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Ισραηλ, καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησα τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ

  [10] And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:

  [11] καὶ ἔθηκα ἐκεῖ τὴν κιβωτόν, ἐν ᾗ ἐκεῖ διαθήκη κυρίου, ἣν διέθετο τῷ Ισραηλ.

  [11] and I have set there the ark in which is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.

  [12] Καὶ ἔστη κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ισραηλ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ,

  [12] And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.

  [13] ὅτι ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων βάσιν χαλκῆν καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἱεροῦ, πέντε πηχῶν τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ εὖρος αὐτῆς καὶ τριῶν πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔστη ἐπ’ αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ισραηλ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν

  [13] For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it was five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,

  [14] καὶ εἶπεν Κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην καὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῖς παισίν σου τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐναντίον σου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ.

  [14] and said,

  Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with their whole heart.

  [15] ἃ ἐφύλαξας τῷ παιδί σου Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου, ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ λέγων,
καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐν στόματί σου καὶ ἐν χερσίν σου ἐπλήρωσας ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

  [15] Even as thou hast kept them with thy servant David my father, as thou hast spoken to him in words: — thou hast both spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hands, as it is this day.

  [16] καὶ νῦν, κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ, φύλαξον τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ λέγων Οὐκ ἐκλείψει σοι ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Ισραηλ, πλὴν ἐὰν φυλάξωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν τῷ νόμῳ μου, ὡς ἐπορεύθης ἐναντίον μου.

  [16] and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father the things which thou spokest to him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou didst walk before me.

  [17] καὶ νῦν, κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ, πιστωθήτω δὴ τὸ ῥῆμά σου, ὃ ἐλάλησας τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Δαυιδ.

  [17] And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray thee, thy word be confirmed, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

  [18] ὅτι εἰ ἀληθῶς κατοικήσει θεὸς μετὰ ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς; εἰ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐκ ἀρκέσουσίν σοι, καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκος οὗτος, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα;

  [18] For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice thee, what then is this house which I have built?

  [19] καὶ ἐπιβλέψῃ ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν παιδός σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν δέησίν μου, κύριε ὁ θεός, τοῦ ἐπακοῦσαι τῆς δεήσεως καὶ τῆς προσευχῆς, ἧς ὁ παῖς σου προσεύχεται ἐναντίον σου σήμερον,
