2 Chroniques 4
1 Et il fit un autel d'airain, long de vingt coudées, large de vingt, haut de dix.
Then he made an altar of bronze, thirty-four feet and five inches, its length, and thirty-four feet and five inches, its breadth, and seventeen feet and three inches 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.
Also he made the molten sea seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass; and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.
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,
Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast 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 stood 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: and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.
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 almost three inches thick; and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held 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 basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in 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.
He made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, 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 placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold.
9 Il fil aussi le parvis des prêtres, le grand parvis, les portes du parvis, et il revêtit d'airain leurs panneaux.
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 Il plaça la mer du côté droit du temple, vers l'angle regardant l'orient.
He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward 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 Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God's house:
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 two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that 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 bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.
14 Et il fit dix bassins, et il fit les cuvettes pour les bassins,
He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;
15 Et la mer, et les douze bœufs qui la supportent.
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.
The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels Hiram Abi made for king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright bronze.
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 cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
18 Et Salomon fit tous ces ustensiles à profusion, car l'airain ne put être épuisé.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
19 Et il fit tous les vaisseaux du temple du Seigneur, l'autel d'or, les tables de proposition,
Solomon made all the vessels that were in God's house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;
20 Les chandeliers et les lampes en or pur, qui devaient éclairer la façade de l'oracle, selon son plan.
and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, 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, of gold, and that perfect gold;
22 Et la porte intérieure du temple qui mène au Saint des saints, et les portes d'or du temple.
and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
