2 Chronicles 4
1 And he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits, the length thereof, and, twenty cubits, the breadth thereof, —and, ten cubits, the height thereof.
Salomone fece l'altare di bronzo lungo venticinque cubiti, largo venticinque e alto dieci.
2 And he made a molten sea, —ten—by the cubit, from the one brim thereof into the other brim thereof, it was round all about, and, five—by the cubit, was the height thereof, and, a line—of thirty by the cubit, did compass it round about.
Fece la vasca di metallo fuso del diametro di dieci cubiti, rotonda, alta cinque cubiti; ci voleva una corda di trenta cubiti per cingerla.
3 And, the likeness of oxen, was under it round about on every side, encircling it, ten in a cubit, going round the sea, on every side, -two rows of oxen, made in the casting.
Sotto l'orlo, per l'intera circonferenza, la circondavano animali dalle sembianze di buoi, dieci per cubito, disposti in due file e fusi insieme con la vasca.
4 It was standing on twelve oxen, three, looking toward the north, and, three, looking toward the west, and, three, looking toward the south, and, three, looking toward the east, the sea, being upon them above, —and, all their hinder parts, inward.
Questa poggiava su dodici buoi: tre guardavano verso settentrione, tre verso occidente, tre verso meridione e tre verso oriente. La vasca vi poggiava sopra e le loro parti posteriori erano rivolte verso l'interno.
5 And, the thickness thereof, was a hand-breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim-work of a cup, with blossoms of lilies, —it could hold [many] baths, three thousand, would it contain.
Il suo spessore era di un palmo; il suo orlo era come l'orlo di un calice a forma di giglio. Conteneva tremila bat.
6 And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand—and five on the left, to bathe therein, what is offered as an ascending-sacrifice, do they rinse therein, —but, the sea, was, that the priests should bathe therein.
Fece anche dieci recipienti per la purificazione ponendone cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra; in essi si lavava quanto si adoperava per l'olocausto. La vasca serviva alle abluzioni dei sacerdoti.
7 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the regulation thereof, —and set in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left.
Fece dieci candelabri d'oro, secondo la forma prescritta, e li pose nella navata: cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra.
8 And he made ten tables, and placed in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left, —and he made a hundred tossing bowls of gold.
Fece dieci tavoli e li collocò nella navata, cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra.
9 And he made the court of the priests, and the large enclosure, —and doors to the enclosure, and, the doors thereof, overlaid he with bronze.
Fece il cortile dei sacerdoti, il gran cortile e le porte di detto cortile, che rivestì di bronzo.
10 And, the sea, he set on the right side of the house, eastward over against the south.
Collocò la vasca dal lato destro, a sud-est.
11 And Huram made—the pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls, —and Huram finished doing the work, which he did for King Solomon, in the house of God: —
Curam fece le caldaie, le palette e gli aspersori. Egli portò a termine il lavoro, eseguito nel tempio per il re Salomone:
12 two pillars, and the bowls and the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two frames of checker work, to cover the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the top of the pillars;
le due colonne, i due globi dei capitelli sopra le colonne, i due reticolati per coprire i globi dei capitelli sopra le colonne,
13 and four hundred pomegranates, for the two frames, -two rows of pomegranates, for each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;
le quattrocento melagrane per i due reticolati, due file di melagrane per ogni reticolato per coprire i due globi dei capitelli sopra le colonne,
14 and, the stands, made he, —and, the lavers, made he upon the stands;
le dieci basi e i dieci recipienti sulle basi,
15 the one sea, —and the twelve oxen under it;
l'unica vasca e i dodici buoi sotto di essa,
16 and, the pans and the shovels and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels, made Huram his father for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh, —of burnished bronze,
le caldaie, le palette, i forchettoni e tutti gli accessori che Curam-Abi fece di bronzo splendido per il re Salomone per il tempio.
17 In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
Il re li fece fondere nella valle del Giordano, nella fonderia, fra Succot e Zereda.
18 So Solomon made all these utensils, in great abundance, —for the weight of the bronze could not be searched out.
Salomone fece tutti questi oggetti in grande quantità da non potersi calcolare il peso del bronzo.
19 Yea Solomon made all the utensils which were for the house of God, —and the altar of gold, and the tables, whereon was the Presence-bread;
Salomone fece tutti gli oggetti destinati al tempio: l'altare d'oro e le tavole, su cui si ponevano i pani dell'offerta,
20 and the lamp-holders and their lamps, that they should burn according to the regulation before the shrine, of purified gold;
i candelabri e le lampade d'oro da accendersi, come era prescritto, di fronte alla cella,
21 and the blossom-work, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, —the same, was the purest gold;
i fiori, le lampade e gli spegnitoi d'oro, di quello più raffinato,
22 and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the censers, of purified gold, —and the entrance of the house, the inner doors thereof for the holy of holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
i coltelli, gli aspersori, le coppe e i bracieri d'oro fino. Quanto alle porte del tempio, i battenti interni verso il Santo dei santi e i battenti della navata del tempio erano d'oro.
