Ii Paralipomenon 4
1 Fecit quoque altare æneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.
Moreover he made an altar of bronze; its length was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits. Its height was ten cubits.
2 Mare etiam fusile decem cubitis a labio usque ad labium, rotundum per circuitum: quinque cubitos habebat altitudinis, et funiculus triginta cubitorum ambiebat gyrum eius.
He also made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
3 Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis quædam extrinsecus cælaturæ, quasi duobus versibus alvum Maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles:
Under the brim encircling the sea were bulls, ten to each cubit, cast in one piece with the sea when the sea itself was cast.
4 et ipsum Mare super duodecim boves impositum erat, quorum tres respiciebant ad Aquilonem, et alii tres ad Occidentem: porro tres alii Meridiem, et tres qui reliqui erant, Oritentem, habentes mare superpositum: posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.
The large basin known as “The Sea” was set upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
5 Porro vastitas eius habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii: capiebatque tria millia metretas.
“The Sea” was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. “The Sea” held three thousand baths of water.
6 Fecit quoque conchas decem: et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia, quæ in holocaustum oblaturi erant: porro in mari sacerdotes lavabuntur.
He made also ten basins for washing things; he put five on the south side, and five on the north; items used in performing the burnt offering were to be washed in them. The large basin known as “The Sea” was used by the priests for them to wash.
7 Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem, qua iussa erant fieri: et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris.
He made the ten lampstands of gold that were made from the instructions for their design; he placed them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 Necnon et mensas decem: et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris: phialas quoque aureas centum.
He made 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 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quæ texit ære.
Furthermore he made the courtyard of the priests, and the great court and the doors for the court and overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra Orientem ad Meridiem.
He placed the basin known as “The Sea” on the east side of the temple, facing toward the south.
11 Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas: et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:
Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon in the house of God:
12 hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quædam retiacula, quæ capita tegerent super epistylia.
the two pillars, the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
13 Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis iungerentur, quæ protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.
He had made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework: two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars.
14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:
He also made the stands and the basins to go on the stands;
15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari:
one sea and the twelve bulls under it,
16 et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater eius in domo Domini ex ære mundissimo.
also the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other implements that Huram-Abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh.
17 In regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot, et Saredatha.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
18 Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus æris.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; indeed, the weight of the bronze could not be known.
19 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:
Solomon made all the furnishings that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum iuxta ritum ex auro purissimo:
the lampstands with their lamps, that were designed to burn before the inner room—these were made of pure gold;
21 et florentia quædam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos: omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.
and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, pure gold.
22 Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo. Et ostia cælavit templi interioris, id est, in Sancta Sanctorum: et ostia templi forinsecus aurea. Sicque completum est omne opus, quod fecit Salomon in domo Domini.
Also the lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners were all made of pure gold. As for the entrance into the house, its inner doors into the most holy place and the doors of the house, that is, of the temple, were made of gold.
