1 T hen he made a brass altar. It was ten steps long, and ten steps wide, and three times taller than a man.

Além disso fez um altar de bronze de vinte côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e dez de altura.

2 H e melted brass and made a pool. It was round, and five long steps from one side to the other. It was as tall as a man can raise his hand. And it took fifteen steps to walk around it.

Fez também o mar de fundição; era redondo e media dez côvados duma borda ã outra, cinco de altura e trinta de circunferencia.

3 T here were objects that looked like oxen under the pool and all around it, (ten long steps around it). The oxen were in two rows, and were made of one piece.

Por baixo da borda figuras de bois que cingiam o mar ao redor, dez em cada côvado, contornando-o todo; os bois estavam em duas fileiras e foram fundidos juntamente com o mar.

4 T he pool was put on the twelve oxen. Three had their faces toward the north, three toward the west, three toward the south, and three toward the east. The pool was put on top of them. All their tails were toward the center.

O mar estava assentado sobre doze bois, três dos quais olhavam para o norte, três para o ocidente, três para o sul, e três para o oriente; e o mar estava posto sobre os bois, cujas ancas estavam todas para a banda de dentro.

5 T he brass of the pool was as thick as a hand is wide. Its round top was made like the top of a cup, like a lily flower. It could hold 22, 000 bottles of water.

Tinha quatro dedos de grossura; e a sua borda foi feita como a borda dum copo, como a flor dum lírio; e cabiam nele mais de três mil batos.

6 H e made ten pots in which to wash. He put five on the right side and five on the left side. They were to wash what was used for the burnt gifts. But the pool was for the religious leaders to wash in.

Fez também dez pias; e pôs cinco ã direita e cinco ã esquerda, para lavarem nelas; isto é, lavaram nelas o que pertencia ao holocausto. Porém o mar era para os sacerdotes se lavarem nele.

7 T hen he made ten gold lamp-stands, as was shown in the plan. He put them in the house of God, five on the right side and five on the left.

E fez dez castiçais de ouro, segundo o que fora ordenado a respeito deles, e pô-los no templo, cinco ã direita e cinco ã esquerda.

8 H e made ten tables and put them in the house of God. Five were on the right side and five on the left. And he made 100 deep dishes out of gold.

Também fez dez mesas, e pô-las no templo, cinco ã direita e cinco ã esquerda; e fez ainda cem bacias de ouro.

9 T hen he made the open space of the religious leaders, the large open space, and the doors for the open space. And he covered their doors with brass.

Fez mais o átrio dos sacerdotes, e o átrio grande, e as suas portas, as quais revestiu de bronze.

10 H e set the pool at the south-east corner of the house.

E pôs o mar ao lado direito da casa, a sudeste.

11 T hen Huram made the pails, the tools for digging, and the pots. So Huram finished the work of God’s house that he did for King Solomon.

Hurão fez ainda as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias. Assim completou Hurão a obra que fazia para o rei Salomão na casa de Deus:

12 H e finished making the two pillars, the pots, and the two pieces on top of the pillars. He finished the two networks to cover the two pots of the pieces on top of the pillars.

as duas colunas, os globos, e os dois capitéis no alto das colunas; as duas redes para cobrir os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam no alto das colunas;

13 H e finished the 400 pomegranates for the two networks. There were two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two pots of the pieces on top of the pillars.

e as quatrocentas romãs para as duas redes, duas fileiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam em cima das colunas.

14 H e made the stands and he made the pots on the stands.

Também fez as bases, e as pias sobre as bases;

15 H e made the one pool with the twelve oxen under it.

o mar, e os doze bois debaixo dele.

16 H uram-abi made the pails, the tools for digging, the meat-hooks, and all their objects. He made them of shining brass for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.

Semelhantemente as caldeiras, as pás, os garfos e todos os vasos, os fez Hurão-Abi de bronze luzente para o rei Salomão, para a casa do Senhor.

17 T he king had them made on the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

Na campina do Jordão os fundiu o rei, na terra argilosa entre Sucote e Zeredá.

18 S olomon made so many of these objects that the weight of the brass could not be known.

Salomão fez todos estes vasos em grande abundância, de sorte que o peso do bronze não se podia averiguar.

19 S olomon made all the things that were in the house of God. He made the gold altar, and the tables for the holy bread.

Assim fez Salomão todos os vasos que eram para a casa de Deus, o altar de ouro, as mesas para os pães da proposição,

20 H e made the lamp-stands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in front of the most holy place in the way given.

os castiçais com as suas lâmpadas, de ouro puro, para arderem perante o oráculo, segundo a ordenança;

21 H e made the flowers, the lamps and their objects of pure gold.

as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes, de ouro puríssimo,

22 H e made the things to put out the lamps, the pots and the fire-holders of pure gold. And he made the front of the house, its inside doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the holy place, all of gold.

como também as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as colheres e os braseiros, de ouro puro. Quanto ã entrada da casa, tanto as portas internas, do lugar santíssimo, como as portas da casa, isto é, do santuário, eram de ouro.
