Ii Paralipomenon 4
1 fecit quoque altare aeneum 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 eius
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 quaedam extrinsecus celaturae 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 inpositum erat quorum tres respiciebant aquilonem et alii tres occidentem porro tres alii meridiem et tres qui reliqui erant orientem mare habentes 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 eius habebat mensuram palmi et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis vel repandi lilii capiebatque mensurae tria milia 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 concas 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 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 iussa 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 posuitque eas in templo quinque a dextris et quinque a sinistris fialas 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 quae texit aere
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 lebetas quoque et creagras et fialas et conplevit 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 quaedam retiacula quae 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 malagranata quoque quadringenta et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malagranatorum singulis retiaculis iungerentur quae 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 concas quas superposuit basibus
the stands; the basins on the stands;
15 mare unum bovesque duodecim sub mari
the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
16 et lebetas et creagras et fialas omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater eius in domo Domini ex aere 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 Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Socchoth 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 aeris
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 iuxta 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 quaedam et lucernas et forcipes aureos omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt
the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;
22 thymiamateria quoque et turibula et fialas et mortariola ex auro purissimo et ostia celavit templi interioris id est in sancto sanctorum et ostia templi forinsecus aurea sicque conpletum 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.
