1 Mafumu 6
1 Patapita zaka 480 Aisraeli atatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto, chaka chachinayi cha ulamuliro wa Solomoni mu Israeli, mwezi wa Zivi, umene ndi mwezi wachiwiri, Solomoni anayamba kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.
2 Nyumba imene Solomoni anamangira Yehova mulitali mwake inali mamita 27, mulifupi mwake inali mamita asanu ndi anayi, ndipo msinkhu wake unali mamita 13 ndi theka.
And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Chipinda chakubwalo mʼmbali mwake chinali mamita asanu ndi anayi kulingana ndi mulifupi mwa Nyumbayo ndipo kutalika kwake kunali kwa mamita anayi ndi theka.
And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.
4 Anapanga mazenera amene maferemu ake anali olowa mʼkati mwa makoma a Nyumbayo.
And he made in the temple oblique windows.
5 Mʼmbali mwa makoma a Nyumba yayikulu ndi chipinda chopatulika chamʼkati, anamanga zipinda zosanjikizana, mozungulira.
And upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.
6 Chipinda chapansi, mulifupi mwake chinali mamita awiri, chipinda chapakati mulifupi mwake chinali mamita awiri ndi theka ndipo chipinda chapamwamba penipeni mulifupi mwake chinali mamita atatu. Iye anapanga zinthu zosongoka kunja kwa khoma la kunja kuzungulira Nyumbayo kuti asamapise kanthu pa makoma a Nyumba ya Mulungu.
The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.
7 Poyimanga Nyumbayo, anagwiritsa ntchito miyala yosemeratu, ndipo pogwira ntchitoyo sipanamveke nyundo, nkhwangwa kapena chida china chilichonse.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.
8 Chipata cholowera ku chipinda chapansi chinali mbali ya kummwera kwa Nyumbayo. Panali makwerero okwerera ku chipinda chapakati ndiponso chipinda cha pamwamba.
The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.
9 Choncho anamanga Nyumbayo mpaka kuyimaliza ndipo denga lake linali la mitanda ndi matabwa a mkungudza.
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
10 Msinkhu wa chipinda chilichonse unali mamita awiri, ndipo anazilumukiza ku Nyumbayo ndi mitanda yamkungudza.
And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
11 Yehova anayankhula ndi Solomoni kuti,
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 “Kunena za Nyumba imene ukumangayi, ngati iwe udzamvera malangizo anga ndi kutsatira mawu anga, ngati udzasunga malamulo anga ndi kuwachita, Ine ndidzakwaniritsa zonse zomwe ndinalonjeza Davide abambo ako.
This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfill my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.
13 Ndipo Ine ndidzakhazikika pakati pa ana a Israeli ndipo sindidzawasiya anthu anga Aisraeli.”
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Kotero Solomoni anamanga Nyumba ya Mulungu nayimaliza.
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Anakuta khoma la mʼkati mwake ndi matabwa a mkungudza, kuyambira pansi pa Nyumbayo mpaka ku denga ndipo pansi pa Nyumbayo anayalapo matabwa a payini.
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 Kumbuyo kwa Nyumbayo anadula chipinda chachitali mamita asanu ndi anayi. Chipindachi anachimanga ndi matabwa a mkungudza kuyambira pansi mpaka ku denga kuti chikhale chipinda chopatulika chamʼkati mwa Nyumba ya Mulungu ngati Malo Wopatulika Kwambiri.
And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.
17 Chipinda chachikulu chimene chinali kutsogolo kwa Malo Wopatulika Kwambiriwa, chinali mamita 18 mulitali mwake.
And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.
18 Mʼkati mwa Nyumbayi munali matabwa a mkungudza, pamene anajambulapo zithunzi za zikho ndi maluwa. Paliponse panali mkungudza wokhawokha. Panalibe mwala uliwonse umene unkaonekera.
And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.
19 Anakonza malo wopatulika mʼkati mwa Nyumbayi kuti ayikemo Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova.
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 Malo wopatulika a mʼkatiwo anali a mamita asanu ndi anayi mulitali mwake, mulifupi mwake, ndi msinkhu wake. Anakuta mʼkati mwake ndi golide weniweni ndiponso anapanga guwa lansembe la matabwa a mkungudza.
Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.
21 Solomoni anakutira golide weniweni mʼkati mwake mwa Nyumbayi, ndipo anayalika maunyolo a golide mopingasa kutsogolo kwa malo wopatulika amene anakutidwa ndi golide.
And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.
22 Motero anakuta mʼkati monse ndi golide. Anakutanso ndi golide guwa lansembe la mʼkati mwa chipinda chopatulika.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.
23 Mʼchipinda chopatulika cha mʼkati anapangamo akerubi awiri a mtengo wa olivi. Msinkhu wa kerubi aliyense unali mamita anayi ndi theka.
And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Phiko limodzi la kerubi kutalika kwake kunali mamita awiri ndi theka, phiko linanso linali mamita awiri ndi theka, kutambasula mapiko awiriwo, kuchokera msonga ina mpaka msonga ina kutalika kwake kunali mamita anayi ndi theka.
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
25 Kerubi wachiwiriyo msinkhu wake unalinso mamita anayi ndi theka, pakuti akerubi awiriwo anali a misinkhu yofanana ndi a mapangidwe ofanana.
The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
26 Msinkhu wa kerubi aliyense unali mamita anayi ndi theka.
That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
27 Solomoni anayika akerubiwo mʼchipinda cha mʼkati mwenimweni mwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, atatambasula mapiko awo. Phiko la kerubi wina limakhudza khoma lina, pamene phiko la winayo limakhudza khoma linanso ndipo mapiko awo amakhudzana pakati pa chipindacho.
And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.
28 Akerubiwo anawakuta ndi golide.
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29 Pa makoma onse kuzungulira Nyumbayo, mʼzipinda za mʼkati ndi za kunja zomwe, anajambulapo akerubi, mitengo ya mgwalangwa ndi maluwa.
And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.
30 Anayala golide pansi mu Nyumbamo mʼzipinda zamʼkati ndi zakunja zomwe.
And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Ndipo pa khomo lolowera ku malo wopatulika amʼkati anapanga zitseko za mtengo wa olivi ndipo khonde lake linali ndi mbali zisanu.
And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
32 Ndipo pa zitseko ziwiri zija za mtengo wa olivi anajambulapo kerubi, mitengo ya mgwalangwa ndi maluwa ndipo anapaka golide akerubiwo ndi mitengo ya mgwalangwayo.
And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.
33 Anapanganso chimodzimodzi mphuthu za mbali zinayi za mtengo wa olivi za pa khomo la Nyumbayo.
And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
34 Solomoni anapanganso zitseko ziwiri za payini. Chitseko chilichonse chinali ndi mbali ziwiri zotha kuzipinda.
And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.
35 Pa zitsekozo anagobapo akerubi, mitengo ya mgwalangwa ndi maluwa wotambasuka ndipo zojambulazo anazikuta ndi golide wopyapyala.
And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
36 Ndipo anamanga bwalo la mʼkati lokhala ndi khoma lokhala ndi mizere itatu ya miyala yosema ndiponso mzere umodzi wa matabwa osemedwa a mkungudza.
And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
37 Maziko a Nyumba ya Yehova anamangidwa pa chaka chachinayi, mwezi wa Zivi.
In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
38 Pa chaka cha 11 mwezi wa Buli, mwezi wachisanu ndi chitatu, madera onse a Nyumba anatha kumangidwa monga momwe kunkafunikira. Anamanga Nyumbayo kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri.
And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.
