2 Chroniques 4
1 Et il fit un autel d'airain, long de vingt coudées, large de vingt, haut de dix.
Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.
2 Et il fit une mer, jetée en fonte, ronde, haute de cinq coudées, ayant dix coudées de diamètre, et trente coudées de circonférence.
And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.
3 Il y avait, au-dessous de ses bords tout alentour, des figures de bœufs, et la piscine avait dix coudées de tour; on avait jeté en fonte deux espèces de bœufs, en deux sortes de moules,
And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.
4 Où on avait fait douze bœufs: trois regardant le nord, trois l'occident, trois le midi, trois l'orient; la mer était posée sur eux, et le derrière de leur corps était caché par elle.
It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.
5 Elle avait un palme d'épaisseur, et ses bords étaient comme ceux d'une coupe, et ciselés de fleurs de lis; elle contenait trois mille mesures; il l'acheva,
It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.
6 Et il fit dix bassins: il en plaça cinq à droite et cinq à gauche, pour qu'on y lavât la matière des holocaustes; quant aux prêtres, ils se lavaient dans la mer.
And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.
7 Et il fit dix chandeliers d'or, selon le modèle, et il les plaça dans la nef: cinq à droite, cinq à gauche.
And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
8 Et il fit dix tables, et il les plaça dans la nef: cinq à droite, cinq à gauche; et il fit cent fioles d'or.
He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.
9 Il fil aussi le parvis des prêtres, le grand parvis, les portes du parvis, et il revêtit d'airain leurs panneaux.
Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.
10 Il plaça la mer du côté droit du temple, vers l'angle regardant l'orient.
He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.
11 Et Hiram fit les fourchettes, les poêles, la grille de l'autel et tous ses vases; et il acheva tous les travaux que lui avait commandés le roi Salomon pour le temple du Seigneur.
And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:
12 Il fit deux colonnes, et, sur leurs têtes, des cordons aux chapiteaux, et deux filets pour couvrir les deux chapiteaux des têtes de ces colonnes,
The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;
13 Et quatre cents clochettes d'or dans les deux filets, et deux sortes de grenades dans chaque filet, pour couvrir les deux chapiteaux des têtes de colonnes.
And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.
14 Et il fit dix bassins, et il fit les cuvettes pour les bassins,
And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;
15 Et la mer, et les douze bœufs qui la supportent.
The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.
16 Et les vases pour les pieds, les seaux, les marmites, les crochets, et les autres vases qui lui étaient commandés; il les fit en airain pur, et il les apporta au roi dans le temple du Seigneur.
All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.
17 Le roi les avait jetés en fonte, dans la vallée du Jourdain, en une terre argileuse de la maison de Soccoth, entre cette ville et Saredatha.
The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Et Salomon fit tous ces ustensiles à profusion, car l'airain ne put être épuisé.
So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.
19 Et il fit tous les vaisseaux du temple du Seigneur, l'autel d'or, les tables de proposition,
And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,
20 Les chandeliers et les lampes en or pur, qui devaient éclairer la façade de l'oracle, selon son plan.
And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;
21 Il fit leurs mouchettes, leurs récipients, les coupes, les réchauds et les encensoirs, d'or pur,
The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.
22 Et la porte intérieure du temple qui mène au Saint des saints, et les portes d'or du temple.
The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.
