II Crônicas, 4
1. Construiu também um altar de bronze de vinte côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e dez de altura.
1. He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.
2. Fabricou o “mar” de metal fundido, o qual tinha uma largura de dez côvados de uma borda a outra. Tinha a forma circular e sua altura era de cinco côvados; sua circunferência era medida por um cordão de trinta côvados.
2. Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
3. Figuras de bois circundavam-no todo, ao redor, debaixo do rebordo, dez para cada côvado, em duas fileiras, fundidas numa só peça com ele.
3. Under it were figures of gourds, for thirty cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.
4. Era sustentado por doze bois, dos quais três olhavam para o norte, três para o oeste, três para o sul e três para o oriente. O “mar” descansava sobre suas partes traseiras que estavam voltadas para dentro.
4. It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was set upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5. Sua espessura era de um palmo; e a borda, como a de um copo, tinha a forma de uma flor de loto. Sua capacidade era de três mil batos.
5. Its thickness was a handbreadth; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held over three thousand baths.
6. Salomão fez também dez bacias, das quais cinco foram colocadas à direita e cinco à esquerda, para nelas fazer as abluções. Aí era lavado tudo o que se utilizava para os holocaustos; ao passo que o “mar” servia para as abluções dos sacerdotes.
6. He also made ten lavers in which to wash, and set five on the south side, and five on the north side. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7. Fez dez candelabros de ouro, de acordo com o modelo prescrito e colocou-os no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda.
7. And he made ten golden lampstands as prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8. Fez dez mesas e colocou-as no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda; e cem vasos de ouro.
8. He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. And he made a hundred basins of gold.
9. Fez o átrio dos sacerdotes e o grande pátio com portas recobertas de bronze.
9. He made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze;
10. Colocou o “mar” voltado para a direita, a sudeste.
10. and he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.
11. Hiram fabricou as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias, terminando dessa maneira todos os trabalhos que tinha de fazer para o rei Salomão, no Templo de Deus,
11. Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:
12. a saber: duas colunas com os capitéis e as arquitraves que lhes estavam sobrepostas, duas redes que cobriam os capitéis com as arquitraves que estavam sobrepostas às colunas,
12. the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals 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. quatrocentas romãs das quais duas fileiras ornavam as grades que cobriam os capitéis com as arquitraves que estavam sobre as colunas.
13. 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 upon the pillars.
14. Fez os pedestais e as bacias que eles suportam,
14. He made the stands also, and the lavers upon the stands,
15. o “mar” e os doze bois que o sustentam,
15. and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it.
16. as caldeiras, as pás e os garfos. Todos os acessórios que Hiram-Abi fez para o Templo do Senhor eram de bronze polido.
16. The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all the equipment for these Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.
17. O rei mandou-os fundir na planície do Jordão, numa terra argilosa entre Sucot e Saredata.
17. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zer'edah.
18. Todos os objetos foram fabricados em tal quantidade que não se podia avaliar o peso do bronze.
18. Solomon made all these things in great quantities, so that the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.
19. Eis os objetos que Salomão mandou fossem ainda feitos para o templo: altar de ouro, as mesas nas quais se colocavam os pães da proposição,
19. So Solomon made all the things that were in the house of God: the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence,
20. os candelabros com suas lâmpadas de ouro prescritos pela lei para o santuário, as flores,
20. the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed;
21. as lâmpadas e as tenazes feitas de ouro fino,
21. the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold;
22. as facas, os vasos, as colheres e os cinzeiros de ouro fino, a porta de ouro da sala, as portas internas do Santo dos Santos e as portas de entrada do templo que eram de ouro.
22. the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold; and the sockets of the temple, for the inner doors to the most holy place and for the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.
