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 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 quaedam extrinsecus celaturae 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 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 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 mensurae tria milia 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 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 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 posuitque eas in templo quinque a dextris et quinque a sinistris fialas 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 quae texit aere
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 lebetas quoque et creagras et fialas et conplevit 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 quaedam retiacula quae 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 malagranata quoque quadringenta et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malagranatorum singulis retiaculis iungerentur quae 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 concas quas superposuit basibus
He also made the stands and the basins to go on the stands;
15 mare unum bovesque duodecim sub mari
one sea and the twelve bulls under it,
16 et lebetas et creagras et fialas omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater eius in domo Domini ex aere 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 Socchoth 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 aeris
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 quaedam et lucernas et forcipes aureos omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt
and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, pure 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
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.
