1 Ary nanao alitara varahina izy: roa-polo hakiho ny lavany, roa-polo hakiho koa ny sakany, ary folo hakiho ny hahavony.
He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.
2 Ary nanao ny tavin-drano an-idina boribory lehibe izy: folo hakiho no halehiben’ ny vavany, dimy hakiho ny hahavony, ary telo-polo hakiho ny manodidina azy.
Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
3 Ary teo ambanin’ ny tavin-drano lehibe nisy sarin’ omby manodidina azy, dia folo amin’ ny iray hakiho manodidina. Roa an-dalana ny sarin’ omby sady niara-natao an-idina tamin’ ny tavin-drano.
And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were with two rows.
4 Ary ny tavin-drano dia nipetraka tambonin’ ny sarin’ omby roa ambin’ ny folo: ny telo nanatrika ny avaratra ny telo nanatrika ny andrefana, ny telo nanatrika ny atsimo, ary ny telo nanatrika ny atsinanana; ny tavin-drano lehibe dia teo amboniny, ary niady vody izy rehetra.
And the oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder parts of the oxen were inward under the sea.
5 Ary ny hateviny dia vodivoam-pelatanana, ary ny molony nataony tahaka ny molotry ny kapoaka, dia tahaka ny vonin’ ny lilia; ary mahalany telo arivo bata izy.
Now the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped lily: and it held three thousand measures.
6 Ary nanao tavin-drano folo koa izy hanasana, ny dimy nataony tamin’ ny ankavanana, ary ny dimy tamin’ ny ankavia; ary ny zavatra hatao fanatitra dorana dia nakobaka teo; fa ny tavin-drano lehibe kosa dia fisasan’ ny mpisorona.
He made also ten lavers: and he see five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they mere to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 Ary nanao ny fanaovan-jiro volamena folo araka ny marika izy, dia napetrany tao amin’ ny tempoly, dimy teo amin’ ny ankavanana, ary dimy teo amin’ ny ankavia.
And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 Ary nanao latabatra folo koa izy, dia napetrany tao amin’ ny tempoly, dimy teo amin’ ny ankavanana, ary dimy teo amin’ ny ankavia. Ary nanao lovia volamena zato famafazana izy.
Moreover also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold.
9 Ary nanao ny kianjan’ ny mpisorona sy ny kianja lehibe sy ny lela-vavahadin’ ny kianja izy, ary nopotehany takela-barahina ny lela-vavahady.
He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
10 Ary ny tavin-drano lehibe nataony tamin’ ny ankavanana, dia teo amin’ ny atsimo-atsinana.
And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south.
11 Ary Hirama nanao ny vilany fandraofan-davenona sy ny sotron’ afo ary ny lovia famafazana. Dia vitan’ i Hirama ny asa izay nataony ho an’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra:
And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king’s work in the house of God:
12 dia ny andry roa sy ny boriboriny sy ny kapitaliny izay teny an-tampon’ ny andry roa sy ny harato roa hafono ny boriboriny roa momba ny kapitaly izay teo an-tampon’ ny andry avy,
That is to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.
13 ary ny sarin’ ampongabendanitra efa-jato ho amin’ ny harato roa, sarin’ ampongabendanitra roa an-dalana ho amin’ ny harato iray hafono ny boribory roa momba ny kapitaly izay teo an-tampon’ ny andry avy;
And four hundred pomegranates, and two wreaths of network, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each wreath, to cover the pommels, and the chapiters of the pillars.
14 ary nanao ireo fitoeran-tavin-drano izy, ary ny tavin-drano nataony teo amin’ ny fitoerany;
He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases:
15 ary ny tavin-drano lehibe iray sy ny sarin’ omby roa ambin’ ny folo; ambaniny.
One sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
16 Ary ny vilany fandraofan-davenona sy ny sotron’ afo sy ny fitrebika ary ny fanaka rehetra momba azy dia nataon’ i Hiram-aby ho an’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny varahina manganohano.
And the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass.
17 Teo amin’ ny tany amoron’ i Jordana no nanaovan’ ny mpanjaka an-idina azy tamin’ ny tanimanga teo anelanelan’ i Sokota sy Zaretana.
In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.
18 Toy izany no nanaovan’ i Solomona ireo fanaka rehetra rehetra ireo; fa tsy nozahana Izay lanjan’ ny varahina.
And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.
19 Ary Solomona nanao ny fanaka rehetra izay tao amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra: ny alitara volamena sy ny latabatra fitoeran’ ny mofo aseho,
And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the golden altar, and the tables, upon which were the leaves of proposition,
20 ary ny fanaovan-jiro sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony mba hampirehetina eo noloan’ ny efitra anatiny araka ny fanao dia samy volamena tsara;
The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.
21 ny voniny sy ny lela fanaovan-jiro ary ny hetin-jiro dia samy volamena tsara indrindra avokoa;
And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest gold.
22 ary ny antsy sy ny lovia famafazana sy ny lovia kely sy ny fitoeran-davenon-jiro dia samy volamena tsara; ary ny lela-varavarana teo anatin’ ny trano, dia ny mankao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna indrindra, sy ny lela-varavarana ho amin’ ny ati-trano lehibe dia samy volamena avokoa.
The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
