歷代志下 4

1 [製造聖殿器皿]以後，他製了一座銅壇，長二十肘，寬二十肘，高十肘。

Then he made an altar of bronze, thirty-four feet and five inches, its length, and thirty-four feet and five inches, its breadth, and seventeen feet and three inches its height.

2 又鑄了一個銅海，從這邊到那邊直徑十肘，作圓形，高五肘，圓周三十肘。

Also he made the molten sea seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass; and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.

3 銅海邊緣下四周圍，圍繞著匏瓜形的裝飾品，每肘十個，分兩行，匏瓜與銅海是同時鑄成的。

Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

4 有十二隻銅牛馱著銅海：三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東；銅海安放在銅牛背上，牛尾朝裏。

It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.

5 銅海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，形似百合花，可容三千「巴特。」

It was almost three inches thick; and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths.

6 他又製了十個同盆：五個安置在右邊，五個安置在左邊，作為洗滌之用，洗滌作全燔祭的物品；但銅海只可為司祭作洗滌之用。

He made also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the cohanim to wash in.

7 又照所規定的式樣製了十個金燈台，放在殿內：右邊五個，左邊五個。

He made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8 又製了十張桌子，放在殿內：右邊五張，左邊五張。又造了一百個金碗。

He made also 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 又造了司祭院與大院以及院門，門包市銅，

Furthermore he made the court of the cohanim, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.

10 他把銅海放在右邊東南角。[胡蘭所造的器具]

He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

11 胡蘭也製了鍋、鏟和盤。胡蘭為撒羅滿王作了一切應為上主的殿所作的工作：

And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God's house:

12 兩根柱子，兩個柱頂上的球形柱頭，兩個網子，─遮蓋柱頂上兩個球形的柱頭，

the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,

13 兩個網子上的四百個石榴，─每個網子有良行石榴，以遮蓋柱頂上兩個球形柱頭，

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.

14 十個盆座及座上的十個銅盆，

He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;

15 一個銅海及下面十二隻銅牛，

one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.

16 鍋、鏟、鉤以及一切用具：這一切都是胡蘭阿彼用光滑的銅，給撒羅滿王為上主的殿所製造的，

The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels Hiram Abi made for king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright bronze.

17 是王在約但平原，於穌苛特與匝爾堂之間，用膠泥模鑄成的。

The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

18 撒羅滿所製的這一切器皿，實在眾多；所用的銅，重量無法計算。[其他器皿]

Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

19 以後，撒羅滿又製造了上主殿內的一切用具：金壇和供餅的桌子，

Solomon made all the vessels that were in God's house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;

20 燈台和依照規例應在內殿前點的燈盞，都是用純金製成的；

and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;

21 還有花蕊、燈盞和燭剪，都是用金，即純金製成的；

and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;

22 還有刀、碗盤和火盤，都是純金的。殿宇的門，即進入至聖所內裏的門，以及聖殿，即正殿的門，也都是金的。

and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
