歷代志下 4
1 [製造聖殿器皿]以後，他製了一座銅壇，長二十肘，寬二十肘，高十肘。
And he made a brazen altar, the length of it twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, and the height ten cubits.
2 又鑄了一個銅海，從這邊到那邊直徑十肘，作圓形，高五肘，圓周三十肘。
And he made the molten sea, in diameter ten cubits, entirely round, and the height of it five cubits, and the circumference thirty cubits.
3 銅海邊緣下四周圍，圍繞著匏瓜形的裝飾品，每肘十個，分兩行，匏瓜與銅海是同時鑄成的。
And beneath it the likeness of calves, they compass it round about: ten cubits compass the laver round about, they cast the calves two rows in their casting,
4 有十二隻銅牛馱著銅海：三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東；銅海安放在銅牛背上，牛尾朝裏。
wherein they made them twelve calves, —three looking northwards, and three westwards, and three southwards, and three eastwards: and the sea was upon them above, [and] their hinder parts were inward.
5 銅海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，形似百合花，可容三千「巴特。」
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim as the brim of a cup, graven with flowers of lilies, holding three thousand measures: and he finished [it].
6 他又製了十個同盆：五個安置在右邊，五個安置在左邊，作為洗滌之用，洗滌作全燔祭的物品；但銅海只可為司祭作洗滌之用。
And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them the instruments of the whole burnt offerings, and to rinse [the vessels] in them; and the sea [was] for the priests to wash in.
7 又照所規定的式樣製了十個金燈台，放在殿內：右邊五個，左邊五個。
And he made the ten golden candlesticks according to their pattern, and he put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 又製了十張桌子，放在殿內：右邊五張，左邊五張。又造了一百個金碗。
And he made ten tables, and put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left: and he made a hundred golden bowls.
9 又造了司祭院與大院以及院門，門包市銅，
Also he made the priests' court, and the great court, and doors to the court, and their panels [were] overlaid with brass.
10 他把銅海放在右邊東南角。[胡蘭所造的器具]
And he set the sea at the corner of the house on the right, as it were fronting the east.
11 胡蘭也製了鍋、鏟和盤。胡蘭為撒羅滿王作了一切應為上主的殿所作的工作：
And Chiram made the flesh hooks, and the fire-pans, and the grate of the altar, and all its instruments: and Chiram finished doing all the work which he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:
12 兩根柱子，兩個柱頂上的球形柱頭，兩個網子，─遮蓋柱頂上兩個球形的柱頭，
two pillars, and upon them an embossed work for the chapiters on the heads of the two pillars, and two nets to cover the heads of the chapiters which are on the heads of the pillars;
13 兩個網子上的四百個石榴，─每個網子有良行石榴，以遮蓋柱頂上兩個球形柱頭，
and four hundred golden bells for the two nets, and two rows of pomegranates in each net, to cover the two embossed rims of the chapiters which are upon the pillars.
14 十個盆座及座上的十個銅盆，
And he made the ten bases, and he made the lavers upon the bases;
15 一個銅海及下面十二隻銅牛，
and the one sea, and the twelve calves under it;
16 鍋、鏟、鉤以及一切用具：這一切都是胡蘭阿彼用光滑的銅，給撒羅滿王為上主的殿所製造的，
and the foot-baths, and the buckets, and the cauldrons, 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 是王在約但平原，於穌苛特與匝爾堂之間，用膠泥模鑄成的。
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 撒羅滿所製的這一切器皿，實在眾多；所用的銅，重量無法計算。[其他器皿]
So Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the quantity of brass failed not.
19 以後，撒羅滿又製造了上主殿內的一切用具：金壇和供餅的桌子，
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 show bread;
20 燈台和依照規例應在內殿前點的燈盞，都是用純金製成的；
also the candlesticks, and the lamps to give light according to the pattern, and in front of the oracle, of pure gold.
21 還有花蕊、燈盞和燭剪，都是用金，即純金製成的；
And their snuffers, and their lamps [were made], and [he made] the bowls, and the censers, and the fire-pans, of pure gold.
22 還有刀、碗盤和火盤，都是純金的。殿宇的門，即進入至聖所內裏的門，以及聖殿，即正殿的門，也都是金的。
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.
