< 2 Khokhuen 4 >
1 Rhohum hmueihtuk te a yun dong kul, a daang dong kul, a sang dong rha la a saii.
He made also an altar of copper, twenty cubits being its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
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.
He made also the molten sea, being ten cubits from the one brim to the other, rounded all about, and it was five cubits in height: and a line of thirty cubits did encompass it round about.
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.
And likenesses of oxen were under it, encompassing it all round about, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea round about: the oxen were in two rows [and were] cast [with it], when it was cast.
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 sisukuh.
It was standing 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 resting above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 A thah kutsom pakhat lo tih a rhai te boengloeng rhai mueimae bangla om. Rhaiphuelh tuilipai a doeng tih bath thawng thum kun.
And its thickness was a hand's breadth, and its brim like the brim of a cup, with lily-buds; and it could hold and contain three thousand baths.
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.
He made also ten lavers; and he placed five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: what belonged to the burnt-offering they rinsed off at them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 Sui hmaitung parha te amamih kah khosing bangla a saii tih bawkim khuiah te bantang ah panga, banvoei ah panga a khueh.
And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their prescribed manner: and he placed [them] in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left.
8 Caboei parha a saii tih bawkim khuikah bantang ah panga, banvoei ah panga a hol. Sui baelcak khaw yakhat a saii.
He made also ten tables, and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred bowls of gold.
9 Khosoih rhoek kah vongup khaw tungkha a len neh thungkha dongkah thohkhaih te a saii tih a thohkhaih te rhohum a ben thil.
And he made the court of the priests, and the great out-court, and doors for the out-court, and their doors he overlaid with copper.
10 Tuili te khaw khothoeng bantang hael kah tuithim imdan ah a khueh.
And the sea he placed on the right side toward the east, opposite to the south.
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.
And Churam made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Churam made an end of doing the work which he made for king Solomon in the house 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,
The two pillars, and the bowls, and the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the bowl-shaped capitals which were on the top of the 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.
And the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals which were upon the front of the pillars.
14 Tungkho khaw a saii tih tungkho soah baeldung a saii.
The bases also did he make, and the lavers made he upon the bases.
15 Tuili pakhat te khaw a hmui ah vaito hlai nit.
The one sea, and the twelve oxen under 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.
And the pots also, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments, did Churam-Abiv make for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, of polished copper.
17 Te rhoek te Jordan vannaem kah Sukkoth laklo neh Zeredah laklo, lai thah dongah manghai loh a saii.
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 He hnopai boeih he Solomon loh a cungkuem la muep a saii tih rhohum kah a khiing te khe lek pawh.
And Solomon made all these vessels in very great abundance; for the weight of the copper was not inquired into.
19 Solomon loh Pathen im kah hnopai cungkuem, sui hmueihtuk neh caboei khaw a so kah a hmai buh khaw a saii.
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of God; and the altar of gold also, and the tables whereon the show-bread [was set];
20 Hmaitung neh a hmaithoi dongkah a a tok ham khaw cangimphu hmai ah a khosing bangla sui cilh neh a saii.
And the candlesticks with their lamps, to light them after the prescribed manner before the debir, of pure gold.
21 Rhaiphuelh neh hmaithoi khaw, sui paitaeh he khaw sui kak ni.
And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, were of gold, the purest of gold;
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.
And the knives, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers were of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
