歷代志下 4
1 他又製造一座銅壇，長二十肘，寬二十肘，高十肘；
Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards high.
2 又鑄一個銅海，樣式是圓的，高五肘，徑十肘，圍三十肘；
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 海周圍有野瓜的樣式，每肘十瓜，共有兩行，是鑄海的時候鑄上的；
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 有十二隻銅牛馱海：三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東；海在牛上，牛尾向內；
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 海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，又如百合花，可容三千罷特；
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 又製造十個盆：五個放在右邊，五個放在左邊，獻燔祭所用之物都洗在其內；但海是為祭司沐浴的。
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 他又照所定的樣式造十個金燈臺，放在殿裏：五個在右邊，五個在左邊；
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 又造十張桌子，放在殿裏：五張在右邊，五張在左邊；又造一百個金碗；
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 又建立祭司院和大院，並院門，用銅包裹門扇；
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 將海安在殿門的右邊，就是南邊。
They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
11 戶蘭又造了盆、鏟、碗。這樣，他為所羅門王做完了上帝殿的工。
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 所造的就是：兩根柱子和柱上兩個如球的頂，並兩個蓋柱頂的網子
[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 和四百石榴，安在兩個網子上（每網兩行蓋着兩個柱上如球的頂）。
the 400 carvings that resembled pomegranates that were placed in two rows, that decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,
14 盆座和其上的盆，
the stands, and the basins that were placed on them,
15 海和海下的十二隻牛，
the very large tank, and the [statues of] twelve bulls underneath it,
16 盆、鏟子、肉鍤子，與耶和華殿裏的一切器皿，都是巧匠戶蘭用光亮的銅為所羅門王造成的，
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 是在約旦平原疏割和撒利但中間藉膠泥鑄成的。
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 所羅門製造的這一切甚多，銅的輕重無法可查。
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 所羅門又造上帝殿裏的金壇和陳設餅的桌子，
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 並精金的燈臺和燈盞，可以照例點在內殿前。
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 燈臺上的花和燈盞，並蠟剪都是金的，且是純金的；
the pure gold decorations that resembled flowers, and the lamps and tongs,
22 又用精金製造鑷子、盤子、調羹、火鼎。至於殿門和至聖所的門扇，並殿的門扇，都是金子妝飾的。
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.
