1 Rhohum hmueihtuk te a yun dong kul, a daang dong kul, a sang dong rha la a saii.
Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards high.
2 Tuili te a saii tih a rhai lamloh a rhai hil te dong rha la a hlawn. a kaepvai pumrhuelh te khaw rhui a sen dong nga neh a kaep ah a yen vaengah dong sawmthum lo.
They also made a very large round tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 10 yards wide/across, and 5 yards high. It was 15 yards around it.
3 A hmui ah vaito muei om tih a kaep, kaep ah a vael uh. Te te dong khat dongah pumrha neh a vael. Tuili kaep kah vaito than nit te a hlawnnah neh a hlawn.
Below the outer rim there were two rows of [small figures of] bulls that were part of the metal of the basin. Each row had 300 figures of bulls.
4 Tuli te vaito pum hlai nit soah a pai sak. Pathum te tlangpuei la mael, pathum te tuipuei la mael, pathum te tuithim la mael, pathum te khocuk la mael. Te rhoek dongkah a so ah tuili te om tih a hnuk boeih te a khui la sisuk uh.
The basin was set on twelve [statues of] bulls. There were three statues that faced north, three that faced west, three that faced south, and three that faced east.
5 A thah kutsom pakhat lo tih a rhai te boengloeng rhai mueimae bangla om. Rhaiphuelh tuilipai a doeng tih bath thawng thum kun.
The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].
6 Baeldung khaw parha a saii tih bantang ah panga, banvoei ah panga a khueh. A khuiah hmueihhlutnah hnopai a silh uh tih te khuiah te a hoek uh. Tedae tuili kah a khuiah te khosoih rhoek loh tui a hluk uh.
They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.
7 Sui hmaitung parha te amamih kah khosing bangla a saii tih bawkim khuiah te bantang ah panga, banvoei ah panga a khueh.
They also made ten gold lampstands according to what Solomon had instructed them. They put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
8 Caboei parha a saii tih bawkim khuikah bantang ah panga, banvoei ah panga a hol. Sui baelcak khaw yakhat a saii.
They made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. They also made 100 gold bowls.
9 Khosoih rhoek kah vongup khaw tungkha a len neh tungkha dongkah thohkhaih te a saii tih a thohkhaih te rhohum a ben thil.
They also constructed one courtyard for the priests, and a larger courtyard [for the other people]. They made doors for the courtyards and covered them with [thin sheets of] bronze.
10 Tuili te khaw khothoeng bantang hael kah tuithim imdan ah a khueh.
They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
11 Huram loh am neh hmaisoh khaw, baelcak khaw a saii. Huram Khiram loh bitat a saii te a khah coeng. Te te manghai Solomon hamla Pathen im ah a saii pah.
They also made pots and shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and other small bowls. So Huram [and his workers] finished the work that King Solomon had given him to do at the temple of God.
12 Tung panit neh tuidueh khaw, tung soi rhoi kah tungthi khaw, tung soi, tungthi dongkah tuidueh rhoi aka cam sahamlong rhoi khaw,
[These were the things that they made: ] the two large pillars, the two bowl-shaped top parts on top of the pillars, the two sets of carvings that resembled chains to decorate the tops of the two pillars,
13 Sahamlong rhoi dongkah hamla tale thaih ya li lo. Sahamlong pakhat dongah tale thaih than nit om tih tung soi tungthi dongkah tuidueh rhoi te a thingcam.
the 400 carvings that resembled pomegranates that were placed in two rows, that decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,
14 Tungkho khaw a saii tih tungkho soah baeldung a saii.
the stands, and the basins that were placed on them,
15 Tuili pakhat te khaw a hmui ah vaito hlai nit.
the very large tank, and the [statues of] twelve bulls underneath it,
16 Te phoeiah am neh hmaisoh khaw, ciksum neh hnopai boeih khaw a saii. Te rhoek Huramabi loh manghai Solomon ham neh BOEIPA im ham rhohum met neh a saii.
the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other things [needed for the work at the altar]. All those things that Huram [and his workers] made for King Solomon were made of polished bronze.
17 Te rhoek te Jordan vannaem kah Sukkoth laklo neh Zeredah laklo, lai thah dongah manghai loh a hlawn.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [river] between Succoth and Zarethan [cities].
18 He hnopai boeih he Solomon loh a cungkuem la muep a saii tih rhohum kah a khiing te khe lek pawh.
All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
19 Solomon loh Pathen im kah hnopai cungkuem, sui hmueihtuk neh caboei khaw a so kah a hmai buh khaw a saii.
Solomon’s workers also made all these things that were put at the temple: the golden altar, the tables on which the priests put the sacred bread,
20 Hmaitung neh a hmaithoi dongkah a tok ham khaw cangimphu hmai ah a khosing bangla sui cilh neh a saii.
the pure gold lampstands and the pure gold lamps, [in which the priests put oil] to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as God had told [Moses that the priests should do],
21 Rhaiphuelh neh hmaithoi khaw, sui paitaeh he khaw sui kak ni.
the pure gold decorations that resembled flowers, and the lamps and tongs,
22 Te phoeiah paitaeh neh baelcak khaw, yakbu neh baelphaih khaw sui kak ni. Im thohka kah a thohkhaih khaw, hmuencim kah hmuencim khui khaw, sui bawkim kah im thohkhaih khaw a saii.
the pure gold wick trimmers and bowls for sprinkling, and dishes and lamp snuffers, the gold doors of the temple and the doors to the main hall.
