2 Crónicas 4
1 Hizo el altar de bronce de nueve metros de longitud y de anchura, y 4,5 metros de altura.
Moreover he made an altar of bronze; its length was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits. Its height was ten cubits.
2 Hizo también el mar circular de fundición de 4,5 metros de borde a borde, 2,25 metros de alto y 13,5 metros de circunferencia.
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 Debajo del mar había figuras de calabazas, diez por cada 45 centímetros alrededor. Eran dos hileras de calabazas fundidas juntamente con el mar.
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 Estaba asentado sobre 12 bueyes: tres miraban al norte, tres al occidente, tres al sur, y tres al oriente. El mar estaba asentado sobre ellos, y todas sus ancas estaban hacia adentro.
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 El mar tenía 7,5 centímetros de espesor. Su borde tenía la forma como el borde de una copa, como una flor de lirio. Su capacidad era de 66.000 litros.
“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 También hizo diez piletas, cinco al sur y cinco al norte, para lavar y limpiar en ellas lo que se ofrecía en holocausto. Pero el mar era para que los sacerdotes se lavaran en él.
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 Hizo los diez candelabros de oro, según lo prescrito con respecto a ellos. Los puso en el Santuario, cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda.
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 Hizo diez mesas y las puso en el Templo, cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda. También hizo 100 tazones de oro.
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 Además hizo el patio de los sacerdotes y el gran patio con sus puertas. Recubrió las puertas de ambos de bronce.
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 Puso el mar en la esquina sureste de la Casa.
He placed the basin known as “The Sea” on the east side of the temple, facing toward the south.
11 También hizo los calderos, las palas y los tazones. Hiram terminó de realizar la obra que hizo para el rey Salomón en la Casa de ʼElohim:
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 las dos columnas, y de la parte superior de las columnas, los collares para los dos capiteles y las dos redes que cubrían los dos capiteles,
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 y las 400 granadas para las dos redes: dos hileras de granadas por cada red para cubrir las dos esferas de los capiteles que estaban en la parte superior de las columnas.
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 Hizo también las basas y puso las piletas sobre ellas,
He also made the stands and the basins to go on the stands;
15 el mar con los 12 bueyes debajo de él,
one sea and the twelve bulls under it,
16 los calderos, las palas y los tenedores. Todos estos utensilios destinados a la Casa de Yavé que Hiram-abí hizo para el rey Salomón eran de bronce abrillantado.
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 El rey los fundió en tierra arcillosa en la llanura del Jordán, entre Sucot y Seredata.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
18 Salomón hizo tan gran cantidad de estos utensilios que nunca pudo ser averiguado el peso del bronce.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; indeed, the weight of the bronze could not be known.
19 El rey hizo todos los utensilios para la Casa de ʼElohim, el altar de oro, las mesas sobre las cuales se ponían los Panes de la Presencia,
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 y los candelabros con sus lámparas de oro puro para que las encendieran delante del Lugar Santísimo de la manera prescrita.
the lampstands with their lamps, that were designed to burn before the inner room—these were made of pure gold;
21 Las flores, las lámparas y las tenazas se hicieron de oro purísimo.
and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, pure gold.
22 Las despabiladeras, los tazones para lavar, las cucharas y los incensarios eran de oro puro. La entrada de la Casa, las puertas interiores de acceso al Lugar Santísimo y las puertas de entrada al salón principal del Templo [también] eran de oro.
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.
