2 Crónicas 4

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Construyó también un altar de bronce de veinte codos de largo, veinte codos de ancho y diez codos de alto.	1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,
2 Hizo el Mar de metal fundido, de diez codos de borde a borde. Era enteramente redondo y de cinco codos de alto. Un cordón de treinta codos medía su contorno.	2 as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.
3 Debajo del borde había en todo el contorno unas como figuras de bueyes, diez por cada codo, colocadas en dos órdenes, fundidas en una sola masa.	3 Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.
4 Se apoyaba sobre doce bueyes; tres mirando al norte, tres mirando al oeste, tres mirando al sur y tres mirando al este. El Mar estaba sobre ellos, quedando sus partes traseras hacia el interior.	4 And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.
5 Su espesor era de un palmo, y su borde como el borde del cáliz de la flor de lirio. Cabían en él 3.000 medidas.	5 Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.
6 Hizo diez pilas para las abluciones y colocó cinco de ellas a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda para lavar en ellas lo que se ofrecía en holocausto. El Mar era para las abluciones de los sacerdotes.	6 Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.
7 Hizo diez candelabros de oro según la forma prescrita, y los colocó en el Hekal, cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda.	7 Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
8 Hizo diez mesas, que puso en el Hekal, cinco a la derecha y cinco a la izquierda. Hizo también cien acetres de oro.	8 Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.
9 Construyó también el atrio de los sacerdotes y el atrio grande con sus puertas, revistiendo las puertas de bronce.	9 Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
10 Colocó el Mar al lado derecho, hacia el sureste.	10 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.
11 Juram hizo también los ceniceros, las paletas y los acetres. Así concluyó Juram la obra que le había encargado el rey Salomón en la Casa de Dios:	11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,
12 Las dos columnas; las molduras de los capiteles que coronaban las columnas; los dos trenzados para cubrir las dos molduras de los capiteles que estaban sobre las columnas;	12 that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,
13 las cuatrocientas granadas para cada trenzado;	13 and also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.
14 las diez basas, y las diez pilas sobre las basas;	14 He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;
15 el Mar con los doce bueyes debajo de él;	15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
16 los ceniceros, las paletas y los acetres. Todos estos utensilios los hizo Juram Abí para el rey Salomón, para la Casa de Yahveh, de bronce bruñido.	16 and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.
17 El rey los hizo fundir en la vega del Jordán, en el mismo suelo, entre Sukkot y Seredá.	17 The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Salomón fabricó todos estos utensilios en tan enorme cantidad que no se pudo calcular el peso del bronce.	18 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.
19 Salomón hizo todos los objetos destinados a la Casa de Dios: el altar de oro, las mesas para el pan de la Presencia,	19 And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;
20 los candelabros con sus lámparas de oro fino, para que ardieran, según el rito, delante del Debir;	20 and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;
21 las flores, las lámparas y las despabiladeras de oro, de oro purísimo;	21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
22 y los cuchillos, los acetres, los vasos y los braseros, de oro puro. Eran también de oro las puertas interiores de la Casa a la entrada del Santo de los Santos, y las puertas de la Casa para el Hekal.	22 Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
