Ii Paralipomenon 4
1 Fecit quoque altare aeneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the hight of it.
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.
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the hight of it; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it.
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, which encompassed it: ten in a cubit, encompassing the sea. Two rows of oxen [were] 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 towards the north, and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea [was set] 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 the thickness of it [was] a hand-breadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; [and] it received and 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.
He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt-offering they washed in them; but 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 their form, 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.
He made also ten tables, and placed [them] in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.
9 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quae texit aere.
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra Orientem ad Meridiem.
And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, 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 basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12 hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quaedam retiacula, quae capita tegerent super epistylia.
[To wit], the two pillars, and the pommels, and the capitals [which were] on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels 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 four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the capitals which [were] upon the pillars.
14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:
He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases;
15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari.
One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 Et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram in domo Domini ex aere mundissimo.
The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
17 In regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot, et Saredatha.
In the plain of 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.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be 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 for] the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the show-bread [was set];
20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum iuxta ritum ex auro purissimo:
Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner 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, [made he of] gold, [and] that 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 snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, [of] pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy [place], and the doors of the house of the temple, [were of] gold.
