Ii Paralipomenon 4
1 Fecit quoque altare æneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.
He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.
2 Mare etiam fusile decem cubitis a labio usque ad labium, rotundum per circuitum: quinque cubitos habebat altitudinis, et funiculus triginta cubitorum ambiebat gyrum ejus.
He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and 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:
Below the rim, figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
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, orientem, habentes mare superpositum: posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.
The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
5 Porro vastitas ejus habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii: capiebatque tria millia metretas.
It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.
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 lavabantur.
He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests used the Sea for washing.
7 Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem qua jussa erant fieri: et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris.
He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8 Necnon et mensas decem: et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris: phialas quoque aureas centum.
Additionally, he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold bowls.
9 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quæ texit ære.
He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.
10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra orientem ad meridiem.
He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.
11 Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas: et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:
Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken 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 two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
13 Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis jungerentur, quæ protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:
the stands; the basins on the stands;
15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari,
the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
16 et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater ejus in domo Domini ex ære mundissimo.
and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.
17 In regione Jordanis, fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot et Saredatha.
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus æris.
Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
19 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:
Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum juxta ritum ex auro purissimo:
the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;
21 et florentia quædam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos: omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.
the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest 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.
the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of purest gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.
