CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,	1 FECE ancora un Altare di rame, di lunghezza di venti cubiti, e di larghezza di venti cubiti, e d’altezza di dieci cubiti.
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.	2 Fece ancora il Mar di getto, che avea dieci cubiti da una parte dell’orlo all’altra; ed era tondo d’ogn’intorno, ed era alto cinque cubiti; ed un filo di trenta cubiti lo circondava d’ogn’intorno.
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.	3 E disotto di quell’orlo vi erano delle figure di buoi d’ogn’intorno, che circondavano il Mare d’ogn’intorno, dieci per ciascun cubito; vi erano due ordini di figure di questi buoi, gettati insieme col Mare.
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.	4 Esso era posto sopra dodici buoi, de’ quali tre erano volti verso Settentrione, tre verso Occidente, tre verso Mezzodì, e tre verso Oriente; ed il Mare era disopra essi; e tutte le parti di dietro di que’ buoi erano volte indentro.
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.	5 E la spessezza di esso era di un palmo, e l’orlo suo era fatto a guisa dell’orlo di una tazza, a fior di giglio; ed essendo pieno, conteneva tremila bati.
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.	6 Fece ancora dieci Conche, e ne pose cinque a man destra, e cinque a sinistra, per servirsene a lavare; vi si lavava ciò che si apparecchiava per gli olocausti; ma il Mare era per i sacerdoti, per lavarsi.
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.	7 Fece eziandio dieci Candellieri d’oro, secondo l’ordine loro, e li pose nel Tempio, cinque a man destra, e cinque a sinistra.
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.	8 Fece anche dieci Tavole, le quali pose nel Tempio, cinque a man destra, e cinque a sinistra; fece ancora cento bacini d’oro.
9 Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.	9 Fece ancora il Cortile de’ sacerdoti, ed il Cortile grande, e gli usci de’ Cortili, i quali coperse di rame.
10 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.	10 E pose il Mare dal lato destro, verso Oriente, dalla parte meridionale
11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,	11 Ed Huram fece le caldaie, le palette, ed i bacini; e compiè di fare il lavorio che facea al re Salomone per la Casa di Dio:
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,	12 le due colonne, e i due vasi de’ capitelli, in cima delle colonne; e le due reti, da coprire i due vasi de’ capitelli ch’erano in cima delle colonne;
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.	13 e le quattrocento melegrane per le due reti, a due ordini di melegrane per ciascuna rete, da coprire i due vasi de’ capitelli, ch’erano in cima delle colonne.
14 He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;	14 Fece ancora i basamenti, e le conche per mettere sopra i basamenti;
15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;	15 il Mare, ch’era unico; e i dodici buoi, ch’erano sotto esso.
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.	16 Ed Huram, suo padre, fece al re Salomone, per la Casa del Signore, le caldaie, e le palette, e le forcelle, e tutte le altre masserizie pertinenti a quelle, di rame pulito.
17 The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.	17 Il re fece gittar queste cose nella pianura del Giordano, in terra argillosa, fra Succot e Sereda.
18 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.	18 E Salomone fece tutti questi arredi in grandissimo numero; conciossiachè non si potesse rinvenire il peso del rame.
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;	19 Così Salomone fece tutti gli arredi pertinenti alla Casa di Dio; e fece d’oro fino l’Altar d’oro, e le Tavole, sopra le quali si ponevano i pani di presenza;
20 and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;	20 ed i Candellieri, con le lor lampane, per restare accese davanti all’Oracolo, secondo ch’era ordinato.
21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.	21 Fece ancora le bocce, e le lampane, e gli smoccolatoi, d’oro, ch’era oro finissimo.
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.	22 Fece ancora i rampini, e i bacini, e le coppe, e i turiboli, d’oro fino. E quant’è alle porte della Casa, gli usci di dentro, per entrar nel luogo Santissimo, e gli usci della Casa, per entrar nel Tempio, erano d’oro
