< 2 Chronicles 4 >
1 And he makes an altar of bronze: twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
[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。
2 And he makes the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge to its edge, round in encompassment, and its height [is] five by the cubit, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounds it around.
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。
3 And the likeness of oxen [is] under it, encompassing it all around, ten to the cubit, surrounding the sea around; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.
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。
4 It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east, and the sea [is] on them above, and all their back parts [are] within.
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。
5 And its thickness [is] a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; holding [within]—it contains three thousand baths.
銅海厚一掌,邊如杯邊,形似百合花,可容三千「巴特。」
6 And he makes ten lavers, and puts five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; they purge the work of the burnt-offering with them; and the sea [is] for priests to wash with.
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。
7 And he makes the ten lampstands of gold, according to their ordinance, and places [them] in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
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。
8 And he makes ten tables, and places [them] in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he makes one hundred bowls of gold.
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。
9 And he makes the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and he has overlaid their doors with bronze.
又造了司祭院與大院以及院門,門包市銅,
10 And he has placed the sea on the right shoulder eastward, from toward the south.
他把銅海放在右邊東南角。[胡蘭所造的器具]
11 And Huram makes the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finishes to make the work that he made for King Solomon in the house of God;
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:
12 two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the heads of the pillars;
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,
13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for the one network, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars.
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,
14 And he has made the bases; and he has made the lavers on the bases;
十個盆座及座上的十個銅盆,
15 the one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,
一個銅海及下面十二隻銅牛,
16 and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their vessels, his father Huram has made for King Solomon, for the house of YHWH, of bronze purified.
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,
17 The king has cast them in the circuit of the Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah.
是王在約但平原,於穌苛特與匝爾堂之間,用膠泥模鑄成的。
18 And Solomon makes all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the bronze has not been searched out.
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]
19 And Solomon makes all the vessels that [are for] the house of God, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and on them [is] Bread of the Presentation;
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,
20 and the lampstands, and their lamps, for their burning according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined;
燈台和依照規例應在內殿前點的燈盞,都是用純金製成的;
21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold—it [is] the perfection of gold;
還有花蕊、燈盞和燭剪,都是用金,即純金製成的;
22 and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of gold refined, and the opening of the house, its innermost doors to the Holy of Holies, and the doors of the house to the temple, of gold.
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。
