1 Kings 7
1 और सुलैमान ने अपने महल को बनाया, और उसके पूरा करने में तेरह वर्ष लगे।
2 और उसने लबानोनी वन नाम महल बनाया जिसकी लम्बाई सौ हाथ, चौड़ाई पचास हाथ और ऊंचाई तीस हाथ की थी; वह तो देवदारु के खम्भों की चार पांति पर बना और खम्भों पर देवदारु की कडिय़ां धरी गईं।
3 और खम्भों के ऊपर देवदारु की छत वाली पैंतालीस कोठरियां अर्थात एक एक महल में पन्द्रह कोठरियां बनीं।
4 तीनों महलों में कडिय़ां धरी गई, और तीनों में खिड़कियां आम्हने साम्हने बनीं।
5 और सब द्वार और बाजुओं की कडिय़ां भी चौकोर थी, और तीनों महलों में खिड़कियां आम्हने साम्हने बनीं।
6 और उसने एक खम्भेवाला ओसारा भी बनाया जिसकी लम्बाई पचास हाथ और चौड़ाई तीस हाथ की थी, और इन खम्भों के साम्हने एक खम्भे वाला ओसारा और उसके साम्हने डेवढ़ी बनाई।
7 फिर उसने न्याय के सिंहासन के लिये भी एक ओसारा बनाया, जो न्याय का ओसारा कहलाया; और उस में ऐक फ़र्श से दूसरे फ़र्श तक देवदारु की तख्ताबन्दी थी।
8 और उसी के रहने का भवन जो उस ओसारे के भीतर के एक और आंगन में बना, वह भी उसी ढब से बना। फिर उसी ओसारे के ढब से सुलैमान ने फ़िरौन की बेटी के लिये जिस को उसने ब्याह लिया था, एक और भवन बनाया।
9 ये सब घर बाहर भीतर नेव से मुंढेर तक ऐसे अनमोल और गढ़े हुए पत्थरों के बने जो नापकर, और आरों से चीरकर तैयार किये गए थे और बाहर के आंगन से ले बड़े आंगन तक लगाए गए।
10 उसकी नेव तो बड़े मोल के बड़े बड़े अर्थात दस दस और आठ आठ हाथ के पत्थरों की डाली गई थी।
11 और ऊपर भी बड़े मोल के पत्थर थे, जो नाप से गढ़े हुए थे, और देवदारु की लकड़ी भी थी।
12 और बड़े आंगन के चारों ओर के घेरे में गढ़े हुए पत्थरों के तीन रद्दे, और देवदारु की कडिय़ों का एक परत था, जैसे कि यहोवा के भवन के भीतर वाले आंगन और भवन के ओसारे में लगे थे।
13 फिर राजा सुलैमान ने सोर से हीराम को बुलवा भेजा।
14 वह नप्ताली के गोत्र की किसी विधवा का बेटा था, और उसका पिता एक सोरवासी ठठेरा था, और वह पीतल की सब प्रकार की कारीगरी में पूरी बुद्धि, निपुणता और समझ रखता था। सो वह राजा सुलैमान के पास आकर उसका सब काम करने लगा।
15 उसने पीतल ढालकर अठारह अठारह हाथ ऊंचे दो खम्भे बनाए, और एक एक का घेरा बारह हाथ के सूत का था।
16 और उसने खम्भों के सिरों पर लगाने को पीतल ढालकर दो कंगनी बनाईं; एक एक कंगनी की ऊंचाई, पांच पांच हाथ की थी।
17 और खम्भों के सिरों पर की कंगनियों के लिये चारखाने की सात सात जालियां, और सांकलों की सात सात झालरें बनीं।
18 और उसने खम्भों को भी इस प्रकार बनाया; कि खम्भों के सिरों पर की एक एक कंगनी के ढांपने को चारों ओर जालियों की एक एक पांति पर अनारों की दो पांतियां हों।
19 और जो कंगनियां ओसारों में खम्भो के सिरों पर बनीं, उन में चार चार हाथ ऊंचे सोसन के फूल बने हुए थे।
20 और एक एक खम्भे के सिरे पर, उस गोलाई के पास जो जाली से लगी थी, एक और कंगनी बनी, और एक एक कंगनी पर जो अनार चारों ओर पांति पांति करके बने थे वह दो सौ थे।
21 उन खम्भों को उसने मन्दिर के ओसारे के पास खड़ा किया, और दाहिनी ओर के खम्भे को खड़ा करके उसका नाम याकीन रखा; फिर बाईं ओर के खम्भे को खड़ा करके उसका नाम बोआज़ रखा।
22 और खम्भों के सिरों पर सोसन के फूल का काम बना था खम्भों का काम इसी रीति हुआ।
23 फिर उसने एक ढाला हुआ एक बड़ा हौज़ बनाया, जो एक छोर से दूसरी छोर तक दस हाथ चौड़ा था, उसका आकार गोल था, और उसकी ऊंचाई पांच हाथ की थी, और उसके चारों ओर का घेरा तीस हाथ के सूत के बराबर था।
24 और उसके चारों ओर मोहड़े के नीचे एक एक हाथ में दस दस इन्द्रायन बने, जो हौज को घेरे थीं; जब वह ढाला गया; तब ये इन्द्रायन भी दो पांति करके ढाले गए।
25 और वह बारह बने हुए बैलों पर रखा गया जिन में से तीन उत्तर, तीन पश्चिम, तीन दक्खिन, और तीन पूर्व की ओर मुंह किए हुए थे; और उन ही के ऊपर हौज था, और उन सभों का पिछला अंग भीतर की ओर था।
26 और उसका दल चौबा भर का था, और उसका मोहड़ा कटोरे के मोहड़े की नाईं सोसन के फूलों के काम से बना था, और उस में दो हज़ार बत की समाई थी।
27 फिर उसने पीतल के दस पाये बनाए, एक एक पाये की लम्बाई चार हाथ, चौड़ाई भी चार हाथ और ऊंचाई तीन हाथ की थी।
28 उन पायों की बनावट इस प्रकार थी; उनके पटरियां थीं, और पटरियों के बीचोंबीच जोड़ भी थे।
29 और जोड़ों के बीचों बीच की पटरियों पर सिंह, बैल, और करूब बने थे और जोड़ों के ऊपर भी एक एक और पाया बना और सिंहों और बैलों के नीचे लटकते हुए हार बने थे।
30 और एक एक पाये के लिये पीतल के चार पहिये और पीतल की धुरियां बनी; और एक एक के चारों कोनों से लगे हुए कंधे भी ढाल कर बनाए गए जो हौदी के नीचे तक पहुंचते थे, और एक एक कंधे के पास हार बने हुए थे।
31 और हौदी का मोहड़ा जो पाये की कंगनी के भीतर और ऊपर भी था वह एक हाथ ऊंचा था, और पाये का मोहड़ा जिसकी चौड़ाई डेढ़ हाथ की थी, वह पाये की बनावट के समान गोल बना; और पाये के उसी मोहड़े पर भी कुछ खुदा हुआ काम था और उनकी पटरियां गोल नहीं, चौकोर थीं।
32 और चारों पहिये, पटरियो के नीचे थे, और एक एक पाये के पहियों में धुरियां भी थीं; और एक एक पहिये की ऊंचाई डेढ़ हाथ की थी।
33 पहियों की बनावट, रथ के पहिये की सी थी, और उनकी धुरियां, पुट्ठियां, आरे, और नाभें सब ढाली हुई थीं।
34 और एक एक पाये के चारों कोनों पर चार कंधे थे, और कंधे और पाये दोनों एक ही टुकड़े के बने थे।
35 और एक एक पाये के सिरे पर आध हाथ ऊंची चारों ओर गोलाई थी, और पाये के सिरे पर की टेकें और पटरियां पाये से जुड़े हुए एक ही टुकड़े के बने थे।
36 और टेकों के पाटों और पटरियों पर जितनी जगह जिस पर थी, उस में उसने करूब, और सिंह, और खजूर के वृक्ष खोद कर भर दिये, और चारों ओर हार भी बनाए।
37 इसी प्रकार से उसने दसों पायों को बनाया; सभों का एक ही सांचा और एक ही नाप, और एक ही आकार था।
38 और उसने पीतल की दस हौदी बनाईं। एक एक हौदी में चालीस चालीस बत की समाई थी; और एक एक, चार चार हाथ चौड़ी थी, और दसों पायों में से एक एक पर, एक एक हौदी थी।
39 और उसने पांच हौदी भवन की दक्खिन की ओर, और पांच उसकी उत्तर की ओर रख दीं; और हौज़ को भवन की दाहिनी ओर अर्थात पूर्व की ओर, और दक्खिन के साम्हने धर दिया।
40 और हीराम ने हौदियों, फावडिय़ों, और कटोरों को भी बनाया। सो हीराम ने राजा सुलैमान के लिये यहोवा के भवन में जितना काम करना था, वह सब निपटा दिया,
41 अर्थात दो खम्भे, और उन कंगनियों की गोलाइयां जो दोनों खम्भों के सिरे पर थीं, और दोनों खम्भों के सिरों पर की गोलाइयों के ढांपने को दो दो जालियां, और दोनों जालियों के लिय चार चार सौ अनार,
42 अर्थात खम्भों के सिरों पर जो गोलाइयां थीं, उनके ढांपने के लिये अर्थात एक एक जाली के लिये अनारों की दो दो पांति;
43 दस पाये और इन पर की दस हौदी,
44 एक हौज़ और उसके नीचे के बारह बैल, और हंडे, फावडिय़ां,
45 और कटोरे बने। ये सब पात्र जिन्हें हीराम ने यहोवा के भवन के निमित्त राजा सुलैमान के लिये बनाया, वह झलकाये हुए पीतल के बने।
46 राजा ने उन को यरदन की तराई में अर्थात सुक्कोत और सारतान के मध्य की चिकनी मिट्टी वाली भूमि में ढाला।
47 और सुलैमान ने सब पात्रों को बहुत अधिक होने के कारण बिना तौले छोड़ दिया, पीतल के तौल का वज़न मालूम न हो सका।
48 यहोवा के भवन के जितने पात्र थे सुलैमान ने सब बनाए, अर्थात सोने की वेदी, और सोने की वह मेज़ जिस पर भेंट की रोटी रखी जाती थी,
49 और चोखे सोने की दीवटें जो भीतरी कोठरी के आगे पांच तो दक्खिन की ओर, और पांच उत्तर की ओर रखी गई; और सोने के फूल,
50 दीपक और चिमटे, और चोखे सोने के तसले, कैंचियां, कटोरे, धूपदान, और करछे और भीतर वाला भवन जो परमपवित्र स्थान कहलाता है, और भवन जो मन्दिर कहलाता है, दोनों के किवाड़ों के लिये सोने के कब्जे बने।
51 निदान जो जो काम राजा सुलैमान ने यहोवा के भवन के लिये किया, वह सब पूरा किया गया। तब सुलैमान ने अपने पिता दाऊद के पवित्र किए हुए सोने चांदी और पात्रों को भीतर पहुंचा कर यहोवा के भवन के भणडारों में रख दिया।
1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
6 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.
13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 He was a widow’s son 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 cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
25 It stood upon 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
27 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
34 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
38 Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
39 And he put five bases 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 over against the south.
40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord:
41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;
42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass.
46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,
49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.
51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the Lord.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.
7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
12 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
