2 Chronicles 4

1 He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.

١ وَصَنَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ مَذْبَحَ النُّحَاسِ، طُولُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

2 He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.

٢ وَسَبَكَ بِرْكَةً مِنَ النُّحَاسِ مُسْتَدِيرَةً طُولُ قُطْرِهَا مِنْ حَافَتِهَا إِلَى حَافَتِهَا عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَطُولُ مُحِيطِهَا ثَلاثُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً).

3 Below the rim, figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.

٣ وَقَدْ سُبِكَ بِشَكْلٍ دَائِرِيٍّ، وَكَجُزْءٍ مِنْهَا، تَحْتَ اسْتِدَارَةِ مُحِيطِهَا، صَفَّانِ مِنَ الْقِثَّاءِ بِمِقْدَارِ عَشْرِ قِثَّاءَاتٍ لِكُلِّ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَقَدْ سُبِكَتْ كَجُزْءٍ مِنَ الْحَوْضِ.

4 The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.

٤ وَكَانَتِ الْبِرْكَةُ قَائِمَةً عَلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْراً، يَتَّجِهُ ثَلاثَةٌ مِنْهَا بِرُؤُوسِهَا نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ، وَثَلاثَةٌ أُخْرَى نَحْوَ الْغَرْبِ، وَثَلاثَةٌ ثَالِثَةٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالثَّلاثَةُ الأَخِيرَةُ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ، وَالْبِرْكَةُ تَرْتَكِزُ عَلَى أَعْجَازِهَا الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ الدَّاخِلِ.

5 It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.

٥ وَبَلَغَ سُمْكُ جِدَارِ الْبِرْكَةِ شِبْراً، وَصُنِعَتْ حَافَّتُهَا عَلَى شَكْلِ كَأْسِ زَهْرِ السُّوسَنِّ، وَكَانَتْ تَتَّسِعُ لِثَلاثَةِ آلافِ بَثٍّ (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفاً وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ لِتْرٍ).

6 He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests used the Sea for washing.

٦ وَصَنَعَ عَشَرَةَ أَحْوَاضٍ لِغَسْلِ مَا يُقَرِّبُونَهُ كَمُحْرَقَاتٍ، أَقَامَ خَمْسَةً مِنْهَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَخَمْسَةً عَنِ الشِّمَالِ. أَمَّا الْبِرْكَةُ فَقَدْ خُصِّصَتْ لاغْتِسَالِ الْكَهَنَةِ.

7 He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

٧ وَصَاغَ عَشْرَ مَنَائِرِ ذَهَبٍ بِمُوْجِبِ الْمُوَاصَفَاتِ الْمَوْضُوعَةِ لَهَا، وَنَصَبَهَا فِي الْهَيْكَلِ: خَمْساً عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَخَمْساً عَنِ الشِّمَالِ.

8 Additionally, he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold bowls.

٨ وَكَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ عَشْرَ مَوَائِدَ وَضَعَهَا فِي الْهَيْكَلِ خَمْسَةً عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَخَمْسَةً عَنِ الشِّمَالِ. كَمَا صَنَعَ مِئَةَ مِنْضَحَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

9 He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.

٩ وَبَنَى فِنَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالدَّارَ الْعَظِيمَةَ مَعَ مَصَارِيعِهَا الَّتِي غَشَّاهَا بِالنُّحَاسِ.

10 He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.

١٠ أَمَّا الْبِرْكَةُ فَقَدْ أَثْبَتَهَا فِي الْجَانِبِ الأَيْمَنِ فِي الْجِهَةِ الْجَنُوبِيَّةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ.

11 Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of God:

١١ وَعَمِلَ حُورَامُ الْقُدُورَ وَالرُّفُوشَ وَالْمَنَاضِحَ. وَأَكْمَلَ كُلَّ مَا طَلَبَهُ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لإِتْمَامِ الْهَيْكَلِ:

12 the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;

١٢ الْعَمُودَيْنِ وَكُرَتَيِ التَّاجَيْنِ الْقَائِمَتَيْنِ عَلَى قِمَّتَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ، وَالشَّبَكَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ تُغَطِّيَانِ كُرَتَيِ التَّاجَيْنِ.

13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);

١٣ وَالرُّمَّانَاتِ الأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ الْمُعَلَّقَةَ بِالشَّبَكَتَيْنِ، صَفَّيْنِ لِكُلِّ شَبَكَةٍ لِتُغَطِّيَ كُرَتَيِ التَّاجَيْنِ الْقَائِمَتَيْنِ عَلَى قِمَّتَيِ الْعَمُودَيْنِ.

14 the stands; the basins on the stands;

١٤ كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ الْقَوَاعِدَ وَأَحْوَاضَهَا الْمُرْتَكِزَةَ عَلَيْهَا.

15 the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

١٥ وَالْبِرْكَةَ الْقَائِمَةَ عَلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْراً،

16 and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

١٦ وَالْقُدُورَ وَالرُّفُوشَ وَالْمَنَاشِلَ، وَكُلَّ أَوَانِيهَا. وَقَدْ صَنَعَ حُورَامُ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ مَصْقُولٍ، لِتَكُونَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ،

17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.

١٧ فِي غَوْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ حَيْثُ سَبَكَهَا فِي أَرْضِ الْخَزَفِ بَيْنَ سُكُّوتَ وَصَرَدَةَ.

18 Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

١٨ وَعَمِلَ سُلَيْمَانُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الآنِيَةِ الْكَثِيرَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَحْسُبَ وَزْنَ النُّحَاسِ.

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

١٩ وَأَمَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِصُنْعِ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ اللهِ، وَمَذْبَحِ الذَّهَبِ وَمَوَائِدِ خُبْزِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ،

20 the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

٢٠ وَالْمَنَائِرِ وَسُرُجِهَا الْمُضِيئَةِ دَائِماً أَمَامَ الْمِحْرَابِ بِمُقْتَضَى نَصِّ الشَّرِيعَةِ، مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

21 the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;

٢١ وَالأَزْهَارُ والسُّرُجُ وَالْمَلاقِطُ، كُلُّهَا صُنِعَتْ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of purest gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.

٢٢ كَمَا سُبِكَتِ الْمَقَاصُّ وَالْمَنَاضِحُ وَالصُّحُونُ وَالْمَجَامِرُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. وَكَذَلِكَ صُنِعَ بَابُ الْهَيْكَلِ وَمَصَارِيعُ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ وَمَصَارِيعُ الْقَاعَةِ الرَّئِيسِيَّةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.
