2 Cronica 4
Ang Biblia, 2001
Mga Kagamitan para sa Templo(A)
4 Gumawa(B) siya ng dambanang tanso na dalawampung siko ang haba, dalawampung siko ang luwang, at sampung siko ang taas.
2 Pagkatapos ay gumawa siya ng hinulmang lalagyan ng tubig; ito ay pabilog, sampung siko mula sa labi't labi, at ang taas nito ay limang siko; at ang sukat sa palibot ay tatlumpung siko.
3 Sa ilalim nito ay mga anyo ng mga baka na sampung siko na nakapaligid sa sisidlan ng tubig. Ang mga baka ay dalawang hanay na hinulmang kasama niyon.
4 Ito ay nakatayo sa ibabaw ng labindalawang baka, ang tatlo'y nakaharap sa hilaga, at ang tatlo'y nakaharap sa kanluran, ang tatlo'y nakaharap sa timog, at ang tatlo'y nakaharap sa silangan. Ang sisidlan ng tubig ay nakapatong sa ibabaw ng mga iyon, at lahat ng kanilang bahaging likuran ay nasa paloob.
5 Ang kapal nito ay isang dangkal at ang labi nito ay yaring gaya ng labi ng isang saro, gaya ng bulaklak ng liryo, ito'y naglalaman ng tatlong libong bat.[a]
6 Gumawa(C) rin siya ng sampung hugasan, at inilagay ang lima sa timog, at lima sa hilaga. Sa mga ito nila huhugasan ang mga ginamit sa handog na sinusunog, at ang lalagyan ng tubig ay paliguan ng mga pari.
7 Siya'y(D) gumawa ng sampung ilawang ginto ayon sa utos at inilagay ang mga iyon sa templo; lima sa timog at lima sa hilaga.
8 Gumawa(E) rin siya ng sampung hapag at inilagay ang mga iyon sa templo; lima sa dakong timog at lima sa hilaga. Siya'y gumawa ng isandaang palangganang ginto.
9 Ginawa niya ang bulwagan ng mga pari, ang malaking bulwagan, at ang mga pinto para sa bulwagan at binalot ng tanso ang kanilang mga pinto;
10 at kanyang inilagay ang sisidlan ng tubig sa dakong timog-silangang sulok ng bahay.
11 Gumawa rin si Huramabi ng mga palayok, mga pala, at mga palanggana. Gayon tinapos ni Huramabi ang gawain na ginawa niya para kay Haring Solomon sa bahay ng Diyos:
12 ang dalawang haligi, mga mangkok, ang dalawang kapitel na nasa dulo ng mga haligi, at ang dalawang korona na tumatakip sa dalawang mangkok ng mga kapitel na nasa dulo ng mga haligi;
13 at ang apatnaraang granada para sa dalawang korona; dalawang hanay ng granada para sa bawat korona, upang tumakip sa dalawang mangkok ng mga kapitel na nasa dulo ng mga haligi.
14 Gumawa rin siya ng mga patungan, at ng mga hugasan sa ibabaw ng mga patungan;
15 ng isang malaking sisidlan ng tubig,[b] at ng labindalawang baka na nasa ilalim nito.
16 Ang mga palayok, mga pala, mga pantusok, at lahat ng kasangkapan nito ay ginawa ni Huramabi mula sa tansong binuli para kay Haring Solomon para sa bahay ng Panginoon.
17 Sa kapatagan ng Jordan ipinahulma ng hari ang mga iyon, sa lupang luwad sa pagitan ng Sucot at Zereda.
18 Ginawa ni Solomon ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito nang maramihan, anupa't hindi matiyak ang timbang ng tanso.
19 Sa gayon ginawa ni Solomon ang lahat ng mga bagay na nasa bahay ng Diyos: ang gintong dambana, ang mga hapag para sa tinapay na handog,
20 ang mga ilawan at mga ilaw nito na dalisay na ginto na magniningas sa loob ng santuwaryo ayon sa iniutos;
21 ang mga bulaklak, mga ilawan, mga panipit na ginto, na pawang yari sa pinakadalisay na ginto;
22 ang mga gunting, mga palanggana, mga sandok, mga pinggan para sa insenso na dalisay na ginto; at ang pintuan ng templo, para sa panloob na pintuan patungo sa dakong kabanal-banalan, at para sa pintuan ng templo ay yari sa ginto.

2 Chronicles 4
King James Version
4 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the Lord of bright brass.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

The Altar and Basins
4 He made a bronze altar(A) nine metres[a] long, nine metres wide, and four and a half metres[b] high.
2 Then he made the cast metal basin,[c](B) 4.5 metres from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was 2.25 metres[d] high and 13.5 metres[e] in circumference. 3 The likeness of oxen[f] was below it, completely encircling it, ten every 45 centimetres,[g] completely surrounding the basin. The oxen were cast in two rows when the basin was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The basin was on top of them and all their hindquarters were towards the centre. 5 The basin was eight centimetres[h] thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or a lily blossom. It could hold forty-four thousand litres.[i]
6 He made ten basins for washing and he put five on the right and five on the left.(C) The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them,(D) but the basin was used by the priests for washing.
The Lampstands, Tables, and Courts
7 He made the ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and put them in the sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left.(E) 8 He made ten tables and placed them in the sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left.(F) He also made a hundred gold bowls.
9 He made the courtyard(G) of the priests and the large court, and doors for the court. He overlaid the doors with bronze. 10 He put the basin on the right side, towards the southeast.(H) 11 Then Huram[j](I) made(J) the pots, the shovels, and the bowls.
Completion of the Bronze Furnishings
So Huram finished doing the work that he was doing for King Solomon in God’s temple: 12 two pillars; the bowls and the capitals on top of the two pillars; the two gratings for covering both bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars; 13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two gratings (two rows of pomegranates for each grating covering both capitals’ bowls on top of the pillars(K)). 14 He also made the water carts[k](L) and the basins on the water carts. 15 The one basin and the twelve oxen underneath it, 16 the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all their utensils – Huram-abi[l](M) made them for King Solomon for the Lord’s temple. All these were made of polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in clay moulds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah. 18 Solomon made all these utensils in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.
Completion of the Gold Furnishings
19 Solomon also made all the equipment in God’s temple: the gold altar; the tables on which to put the Bread of the Presence;(N) 20 the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn in front of the inner sanctuary according to specifications;(O) 21 the flowers, lamps, and gold tongs – of purest gold; 22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, ladles,[m] and firepans – of purest gold; and the entrance to the temple, its inner doors to the most holy place, and the doors of the temple sanctuary – of gold.

New International Version
The Temple’s Furnishings(A)
4 He made a bronze altar(B) twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.[a] 2 He made the Sea(C) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits[b] high. It took a line of thirty cubits[c] to measure around it. 3 Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it—ten to a cubit.[d] The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
4 The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east.(D) The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. 5 It was a handbreadth[e] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.[f]
6 He then made ten basins(E) for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings(F) were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.
7 He made ten gold lampstands(G) according to the specifications(H) for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8 He made ten tables(I) and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.(J)
9 He made the courtyard(K) of the priests, and the large court and the doors for the court, and overlaid the doors with bronze. 10 He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.
11 And Huram also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.
So Huram finished(L) the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:
12 the two pillars;
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);
14 the stands(M) with their basins;
15 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
16 the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles.
All the objects that Huram-Abi(N) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth(O) and Zarethan.[g] 18 All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze(P) could not be calculated.
19 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God’s temple:
the golden altar;
the tables(Q) on which was the bread of the Presence;
20 the lampstands(R) of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;
21 the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold);
22 the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(S) and censers;(T) and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall.
