Ii Paralipomenon 4

1 Fecit quoque altare aeneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.

And he made a brazen altar: its length was twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and its height 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.

And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.

3 Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis quaedam extrinsecus caelaturae, quasi duobus versibus alvum maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles:

And under it was the similitude of oxen, encompassing it round about, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about, two rows of oxen, cast when it 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, Orientem, habentes mare superpositum: posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.

It stood 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

5 Porro vastitas eius habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii: capiebatque tria millia metretas.

And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; in capacity it held three thousand baths.

6 Fecit quoque conchas decem: et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia, quae in holocaustum oblaturi erant: porro in mari sacerdotes lavabantur.

And he made ten lavers, and put five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them: they rinsed in them what they prepared for the burnt-offering; and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7 Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem, qua iusserat fieri: et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris.

And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance respecting them, and set 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.

And he made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls.

9 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quae texit aere.

And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors thereof with bronze.

10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra Orientem ad Meridiem.

And he set the sea on the right side eastward, over against the south.

11 Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas: et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:

And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram ended doing the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God:

12 hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quaedam retiacula, quae capita tegerent super epistylia.

two pillars, and the globes and the capitals on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

13 Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis iungerentur, quae protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars.

14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:

And he made the bases, and he made the lavers on the bases;

15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari.

one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.

16 Et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram in domo Domini ex aere mundissimo.

And the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments did Huram Abiv make king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, of bright brass.

17 In regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot, et Saredatha.

In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.

18 Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus aeris.

And Solomon made all these vessels in great number; for the weight of the brass was not ascertained.

19 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:

And Solomon made all the vessels that were [in] the house of God: the golden altar; and the tables whereon was the shewbread;

20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum iuxta ritum ex auro purissimo:

and the candlesticks with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;

21 et florentia quaedam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos: omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.

and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold (it was perfect gold);

22 Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo. Et ostia caelavit templi interioris, id est, in Sancto sanctorum: et ostia templi forinsecus aurea. Sicque completum est omne opus, quod fecit Salomon in domo Domini.

and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, the inner folding-doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
