2 Chroniques 4
1 Et il fit un autel d'airain, long de vingt coudées, large de vingt, haut de dix.
He made also an altar of copper, twenty cubits being its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
2 Et il fit une mer, jetée en fonte, ronde, haute de cinq coudées, ayant dix coudées de diamètre, et trente coudées de circonférence.
He made also the molten sea, being ten cubits from the one brim to the other, rounded all about, and it was five cubits in height: and a line of thirty cubits did encompass it round about.
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 likenesses of oxen were under it, encompassing it all round about, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea round about: the oxen were in two rows [and were] cast [with it], when it was cast.
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 standing upon 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; and the sea was resting above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
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,
And its thickness was a hand's breadth, and its brim like the brim of a cup, with lily-buds; and it could hold and contain 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.
He made also ten lavers; and he placed five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: what belonged to the burnt-offering they rinsed off at them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
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 ten candlesticks of gold according to their prescribed manner: and he placed [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 also ten tables, and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred bowls of gold.
9 Il fil aussi le parvis des prêtres, le grand parvis, les portes du parvis, et il revêtit d'airain leurs panneaux.
And he made the court of the priests, and the great out-court, and doors for the out-court, and their doors he overlaid with copper.
10 Il plaça la mer du côté droit du temple, vers l'angle regardant l'orient.
And the sea he placed on the right side toward the east, opposite to the 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 Churam made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Churam made an end of doing the work which he made 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 bowls, and the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the bowl-shaped capitals which were on the top 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 pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals which were upon the front of the pillars.
14 Et il fit dix bassins, et il fit les cuvettes pour les bassins,
The bases also did he make, and the lavers made he upon the bases.
15 Et la mer, et les douze bœufs qui la supportent.
The one sea, and 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.
And the pots also, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments, did Churam-Abiv make for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, of polished copper.
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.
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Et Salomon fit tous ces ustensiles à profusion, car l'airain ne put être épuisé.
And Solomon made all these vessels in very great abundance; for the weight of the copper was not inquired into.
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 that pertained to the house of God; and the altar of gold also, and the tables whereon the show-bread [was set];
20 Les chandeliers et les lampes en or pur, qui devaient éclairer la façade de l'oracle, selon son plan.
And the candlesticks with their lamps, to light them after the prescribed manner before the debir, of pure gold.
21 Il fit leurs mouchettes, leurs récipients, les coupes, les réchauds et les encensoirs, d'or pur,
And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, were of gold, the purest of gold;
22 Et la porte intérieure du temple qui mène au Saint des saints, et les portes d'or du temple.
And the knives, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers were of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
