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

Salomão também mandou fazer um altar de bronze de nove metros de comprimento, nove metros de largura e quatro metros e meio 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 o tanque de metal fundido, redondo, medindo quatro metros e meio de diâmetro e dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura. Era preciso um fio de treze metros e meio para medir a sua circunferência.

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.

Abaixo da borda e ao seu redor havia figuras de touro, de cinco em cinco centímetros. Os touros foram fundidos em duas fileiras e numa só peça com o tanque.

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 tanque ficava sobre doze touros, três voltados para o norte, três para o oeste, três para o sul e três para o leste. Ficava em cima deles, e as pernas traseiras dos touros eram voltadas para o centro.

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.

A espessura do tanque era de quatro dedos, e sua borda era como a borda de um cálice, como uma flor de lírio. Sua capacidade era de sessenta mil litros.

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 dez pias, colocando cinco no lado sul e cinco no lado norte. Nelas era lavado tudo o que era usado nos holocaustos, enquanto que o tanque servia para os sacerdotes se lavarem.

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.

Fez dez candelabros de ouro, de acordo com as especificações, e os colocou no templo, cinco no lado sul e cinco no lado norte.

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.

Fez dez mesas e as colocou no templo, cinco no lado sul e cinco no lado norte. Também fez cem bacias de ouro para aspersão.

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 ainda o pátio dos sacerdotes e o pátio principal com suas portas, e revestiu de bronze as suas portas.

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

Pôs o tanque no lado sul, no canto sudeste do templo.

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.

Também fez os jarros, as pás e as bacias para aspersão. Hurão-Abi terminou assim o trabalho de que fora encarregado pelo rei Salomão, no templo 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 dois capitéis em forma de taça no alto das colunas; os dois conjuntos de correntes que decoravam os dois capitéis;

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.

as quatrocentas romãs para os dois conjuntos de correntes, sendo duas fileiras de romãs para cada conjunto;

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

os dez carrinhos com as suas dez pias;

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

o tanque e os doze touros 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.

os jarros, as pás, os garfos de carne e todos os utensílios afins. Todos esses utensílios que Hurão-Abi fez para o templo do Senhor, a pedido do rei Salomão, eram de bronze polido.

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

Foi na planície do Jordão, entre Sucote e Zeredá, que o rei os mandou fundir, em moldes de barro.

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

Salomão os fez em tão grande quantidade que não se pôde determinar o peso do bronze utilizado.

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.

Além desses, Salomão mandou fazer também todos estes outros utensílios para o templo de Deus: O altar de ouro; as mesas sobre as quais ficavam os pães da Presença;

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 candelabros de ouro puro com suas lâmpadas, para alumiarem diante do santuário interno, conforme determinado;

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

as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes de ouro maciço;

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.

os cortadores de pavio, as bacias para aspersão, as tigelas, os incensários de ouro puro e as portas de ouro do templo: tanto as portas da sala interna, o Lugar Santíssimo, quanto as portas do átrio principal.
