Ii Paralipomenon 4
1 Fecit quoque altare æneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the height of it.
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.
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape, and five cubits the height of it; and a line of thirty cubits around it.
3 Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis quædam extrinsecus cælaturæ, quasi duobus versibus alvum Maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles:
And under it was the similitude of oxen, which surrounded it: ten in a cubit, surrounding the sea. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4 et ipsum Mare super duodecim boves impositum erat, quorum tres respiciebant ad Aquilonem, et alii tres ad Occidentem: porro tres alii Meridiem, et tres qui reliqui erant, Oritentem, habentes mare superpositum: posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.
It stood upon 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 above upon them, and all their back parts were inward.
5 Porro vastitas eius habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii: capiebatque tria millia metretas.
And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
6 Fecit quoque conchas decem: et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia, quæ in holocaustum oblaturi erant: porro in mari sacerdotes lavabuntur.
He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
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.
And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 Necnon et mensas decem: et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris: phialas quoque aureas centum.
He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basins of gold.
9 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quæ texit ære.
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra Orientem ad Meridiem.
And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, toward the south.
11 Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas: et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:
And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12 hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quædam retiacula, quæ capita tegerent super epistylia.
That is, the two pillars, and the bowls, and the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
13 Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis iungerentur, quæ protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.
And four hundred pomegranates on the two networks; two rows of pomegranates on each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the pillars.
14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:
He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases;
15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari:
One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater eius in domo Domini ex ære mundissimo.
The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
17 In regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot, et Saredatha.
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus æris.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be known.
19 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:
And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the showbread was set;
20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum iuxta ritum ex auro purissimo:
Moreover the lampstands with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
21 et florentia quædam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos: omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.
And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
22 Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo. Et ostia cælavit templi interioris, id est, in Sancta Sanctorum: et ostia templi forinsecus aurea. Sicque completum est omne opus, quod fecit Salomon in domo Domini.
And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
