2 Chronicles 4

1 And he maketh an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

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

2 And he maketh the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge unto its edge, round in compass, and five by the cubit its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit doth compass it, round about.

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 And the likeness of oxen [is] under it, all round about encompassing it, ten in the cubit, compassing the sea round about; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.

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 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] upon them above, and all their hinder parts [are] within.

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 And its thickness [is] a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; taking hold — baths three thousand it containeth.

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 And he maketh ten lavers, and putteth five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; the work of the burnt-offering they purge with them; and the sea [is] for priests to wash with.

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

7 And he maketh the ten candlesticks of gold, according to their ordinance, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.

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

8 And he maketh ten tables, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he maketh bowls of gold a hundred.

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

9 And he maketh the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and their doors he hath overlaid with brass.

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

10 And the sea he hath placed on the right shoulder eastward, over-against the south.

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

11 And Huram maketh the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finisheth to make the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God;

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

12 two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the heads of the pillars;

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

13 and the pomegranates four hundred to the two wreaths, two rows of pomegranates to the one wreath, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars.

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

14 And the bases he hath made; and the lavers he hath made on the bases;

١٤ كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ الْقَوَاعِدَ وَأَحْوَاضَهَا الْمُرْتَكِزَةَ عَلَيْهَا.

15 the one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,

١٥ وَالْبِرْكَةَ الْقَائِمَةَ عَلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْراً،

16 and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their vessels, hath Huram his father made for king Solomon, for the house of Jehovah, of brass purified.

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

17 In the circuit of the Jordan hath the king cast them, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah.

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

18 And Solomon maketh all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the brass hath not been searched out.

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

19 And Solomon maketh 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 presence;

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

20 and the candlesticks, and their lamps, for their burning according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined;

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

21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold — it [is] the perfection of gold;

٢١ وَالأَزْهَارُ والسُّرُجُ وَالْمَلاقِطُ، كُلُّهَا صُنِعَتْ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

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.

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