2 Chronicles 4
1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,
Hizo el altar de bronce de nueve metros de longitud y de anchura, y 4,5 metros de altura.
2 as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.
Hizo también el mar circular de fundición de 4,5 metros de borde a borde, 2,25 metros de alto y 13,5 metros de circunferencia.
3 Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.
Debajo del mar había figuras de calabazas, diez por cada 45 centímetros alrededor. Eran dos hileras de calabazas fundidas juntamente con el mar.
4 And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.
Estaba asentado sobre 12 bueyes: tres miraban al norte, tres al occidente, tres al sur, y tres al oriente. El mar estaba asentado sobre ellos, y todas sus ancas estaban hacia adentro.
5 Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.
El mar tenía 7,5 centímetros de espesor. Su borde tenía la forma como el borde de una copa, como una flor de lirio. Su capacidad era de 66.000 litros.
6 Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.
También hizo diez piletas, cinco al sur y cinco al norte, para lavar y limpiar en ellas lo que se ofrecía en holocausto. Pero el mar era para que los sacerdotes se lavaran en él.
7 Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
Hizo los diez candelabros de oro, según lo prescrito con respecto a ellos. Los puso en el Santuario, cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda.
8 Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.
Hizo diez mesas y las puso en el Templo, cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda. También hizo 100 tazones de oro.
9 Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
Además hizo el patio de los sacerdotes y el gran patio con sus puertas. Recubrió las puertas de ambos de bronce.
10 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.
Puso el mar en la esquina sureste de la Casa.
11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,
También hizo los calderos, las palas y los tazones. Hiram terminó de realizar la obra que hizo para el rey Salomón en la Casa de ʼElohim:
12 that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,
las dos columnas, y de la parte superior de las columnas, los collares para los dos capiteles y las dos redes que cubrían los dos capiteles,
13 and also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.
y las 400 granadas para las dos redes: dos hileras de granadas por cada red para cubrir las dos esferas de los capiteles que estaban en la parte superior de las columnas.
14 He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;
Hizo también las basas y puso las piletas sobre ellas,
15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
el mar con los 12 bueyes debajo de él,
16 and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.
los calderos, las palas y los tenedores. Todos estos utensilios destinados a la Casa de Yavé que Hiram-abí hizo para el rey Salomón eran de bronce abrillantado.
17 The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.
El rey los fundió en tierra arcillosa en la llanura del Jordán, entre Sucot y Seredata.
18 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.
Salomón hizo tan gran cantidad de estos utensilios que nunca pudo ser averiguado el peso del bronce.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;
El rey hizo todos los utensilios para la Casa de ʼElohim, el altar de oro, las mesas sobre las cuales se ponían los Panes de la Presencia,
20 and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;
y los candelabros con sus lámparas de oro puro para que las encendieran delante del Lugar Santísimo de la manera prescrita.
21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
Las flores, las lámparas y las tenazas se hicieron de oro purísimo.
22 Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
Las despabiladeras, los tazones para lavar, las cucharas y los incensarios eran de oro puro. La entrada de la Casa, las puertas interiores de acceso al Lugar Santísimo y las puertas de entrada al salón principal del Templo [también] eran de oro.
