1 Mafumu 7

1 Solomoni anamanga nyumba yake yaufumu kwa zaka 13.

But, his own house, was Solomon thirteen years in building, —so he finished all his house.

2 Iye anamanga nyumba yaufumu yotchedwa Nkhalango ya Lebanoni yomwe mulitali mwake inali mamita 44, mulifupi mwake mamita 22, msinkhu wake mamita 13 ndi theka; ndipo inakhazikika pa mizere inayi ya mapanda a mkungudza yokhala ndi mitanda ya mkungudza yotanthalika pa mapandawo.

Yea he built the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits, the length thereof, and, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and, thirty cubits, the height thereof, —upon four rows of pillars of cedar, with beams of cedar, upon the pillars;

3 Pamwamba pa mitandapo panali matabwa a mkungudza amene anaphimba zipinda zimene zinamangidwa pa nsanamira 45, pa mzere uliwonse nsanamira 15.

and it was covered with cedar above upon the joists, that were on forty-five pillars, —fifteen in a row.

4 Mazenera a nyumbayo anali mmwamba mʼmizere itatu, zenera kuyangʼanana ndi zenera linzake.

And there were, window spaces, in three rows, —and light over against light, three times.

5 Zitseko zonse ndi mazenera omwe, maferemu ake anali ofanana mbali zonse. Mulitali mwake ndi mulifupi mwake, ndipo zenera linkapenyana ndi zenera linzake pa mizere itatu.

And, all the openings and the posts, were square in their frame, —and light was over against light, three times.

6 Iye anapanga Chipinda cha Nsanamira. Mulitali mwake munali mamita 22, mulifupi mwake munali mamita 13 ndi theka. Patsogolo pake panali khonde ndi nsanamira zokhala ndi denga.

And, a porch of pillars, made he, fifty cubits, in length, and, thirty cubits, in breadth, —and, a porch, was on the one front of them, and pillars and threshold, were on the other front of them.

7 Anamanga chipinda cha mpando waufumu, Chipinda cha Chilungamo, modzaweruziramo milandu ndipo anayikutira ndi matabwa a mkungudza kuchokera pansi mpaka ku denga.

And, a porch for the throne, where he should judge, even the porch of judgment, made he, and it was wainscotted with cedar, from floor to ceiling.

8 Ndipo nyumba yake yodzakhalamo anayimanga kumbuyo kwa chipindacho. Nyumbayo anayimanga mofanana ndi Chipindacho. Solomoni anamanga nyumba inanso yofanana ndi chipindachi, kumangira mkazi wake mwana wa Farao.

And, his own house where he should dwell, in the other court within the porch, was, of like workmanship unto this, —a house also, made he, for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken [to wife], in a similar porch.

9 Nyumba zonsezi, kuyambira kunja mpaka ku bwalo lalikulu ndiponso kuchokera pa maziko mpaka pamwamba pa khoma, zinapangidwa ndi miyala yabwino kwambiri imene anayisema potengera miyeso yake yoyenera ndipo anayisalaza ndi macheka mʼkati ndi kunja komwe.

All these, were of costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stones, sawn with saws, within and without, —even from the foundation, unto the coping, and without as far as the great court.

10 Maziko ake anali a miyala yabwino kwambiri, kutalika kwa miyala ina kunali mamita atatu ndi theka, inanso mamita anayi.

And, the foundation, was of costly stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11 Pamwamba pake panali pa miyala yabwino kwambiri, yosemedwa potengera miyeso yake. Pamwamba pa miyalayo panali matabwa a mkungudza.

And, above, were costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stone, and cedar.

12 Bwalo lalikulu lozungulira nyumbayi linali ndi khoma la mizere itatu ya miyala yosemedwa ndi mzere umodzi wa matabwa a mkungudza. Bwalo la mʼkati la Nyumba ya Yehova ndiponso khonde lake anazimanga mofanana.

And, the great court round about, was of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of beams of cedar, —both to the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and to the porch of the house.

13 Mfumu Solomoni anatuma anthu ku Turo ndipo anakabwera ndi Hiramu,

And King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram, out of Tyre:

14 mwana wa mkazi wamasiye wa fuko la Nafutali ndipo abambo ake anali a ku Turo, mʼmisiri wa mkuwa. Hiramu anali munthu wa luso lalikulu ndiponso wodziwa kupanga zinthu za mkuwa. Iye anabwera kwa Mfumu Solomoni ndi kugwira ntchito zonse zimene anamupatsa.

son of a widow woman, was he of the tribe of Naphtali, but, his father, was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze, and he was filled with wisdom, and discernment, and knowledge, for executing all manner of work in bronze, —so he came unto King Solomon, and executed all his work.

15 Iye anawumba nsanamira ziwiri za mkuwa, nsanamira iliyonse msinkhu wake unali mamita asanu ndi atatu ndipo thunthu lake akazunguliza chingwe, linali mamita asanu ndi theka.

And he cast two pillars of bronze, —eighteen cubits, the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, would surround the second pillar.

16 Anapanganso mitu iwiri ya mkuwa ndi kuyiika pamwamba pa nsanamira zija; mutu uliwonse unali wotalika kupitirirapo mamita awiri.

And, two capitals, made he, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten bronze, —five cubits, was the height of the one capital, and, five cubits, the height of the other capital;

17 Pa mitu ya pa nsanamirazo anakolekapo maunyolo awiri olukanalukana ndi oyangayanga. Mutu uliwonse unali ndi maunyolo oterewa asanu ndi awiri.

with a frame of checker work, wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, —seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

18 Anapanga mizere iwiri ya zinthu zonga makangadza mozungulira pamwamba pa maunyolo kukongoletsa mitu ya nsanamirazo. Anachita chimodzimodzi ndi mutu uliwonse.

So he made the pillars, —and, two rows round about, upon the one frame of checker work, covering the capitals which were upon the top with pomegranates, thus also, did he for the other capital.

19 Mitu imene inali pamwamba pa nsanamira mʼkhonde inali yooneka ngati maluwa okongola kwambiri. Kutalika kwake kunali pafupifupi mamita awiri.

And, the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in span, four cubits.

20 Pa mitu yonse iwiri ya pamwamba pa nsanamira, pamwamba pa chigawo chonga mʼphika pafupi ndi cholukidwa ngati ukonde, panali makangadza 200 okhala mozungulira mʼmizere.

And there were capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close by the belly, which was beside the checker work, —and there were two hundred pomegranates, in rows round about, upon either capital.

21 Anayimika nsanamirazo pa khonde la Nyumba ya Mulungu. Nsanamira ya kumpoto anayitcha Yakini ndipo ya kummwera anayitcha Bowazi.

So he reared the pillars for the porch of the temple, —yea he reared the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin, and reared the left pillar, and called the name thereof, Boaz.

22 Mitu ya pamwamba pa nsanamirazo inali yooneka ngati maluwa okongola kwambiri. Motero anamaliza ntchito ya nsanamirazo.

And, upon the top of the pillars, was lily work, —which gave finish to the work of the pillars.

23 Kenaka iye anapanga mbiya yayikulu yachitsulo. Inali yozungulira ndipo pakamwa pake panali pa mamita anayi ndi theka, poyeza modutsa pakati pake. Msinkhu wake unali wopitirirapo mamita awiri. Thunthu lake linali mamita 13.

And he made a molten sea, —ten cubits from the one brim to the other, it was round all about, and, five cubits, was the height thereof, and, a line of thirty cubits, would encompass it round about.

24 Mʼmunsi mwa mkombero wa mbiyayo anajambulamo tizikho kuzungulira thunthu lonse la mbiyayo, tizikho khumi pa theka la mita. Tizikhoto tinali mʼmizere iwiri ndipo anatipangira kumodzi ndi mbiyayo.

And, colocynths, were under the brim thereof round about, encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea, round about, —two rows of colocynths, made in the casting thereof:

25 Mbiyayo anayisanjika pa ngʼombe zamkuwa khumi ndi ziwiri, zitatu zoyangʼana kumpoto, zitatu zoyangʼana kumadzulo, zitatu zoyangʼana kummwera ndipo zitatu zoyangʼana kummawa. Mbiyayo inakhazikika pamwamba pa ngʼombezo, ndipo miyendo yake yonse yakumbuyo ya ngʼombezo inkaloza mʼkati.

standing upon twelve oxen, three looking northward, and three looking westward, and three looking southward, and three looking eastward, the sea, being upon them above, —all their hinder parts, being, inward.

26 Mbiyayo inali yonenepa ngati chikhatho ndipo mkombero wake unali ngati mkombero wa chikho, ngati duwa lokongola kwambiri. Mʼmbiyamo munkalowa madzi okwana malita 40,000.

And, the thickness thereof, was a hand breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim-work of a cup, of lily-blossoms, —two thousand baths, did it contain.

27 Iye anapanganso maphaka khumi a mkuwa. Phaka lililonse mulitali mwake linali pafupifupi mamita awiri, mulifupi mwake linali pafupifupi mamita awiri, ndipo msinkhu wake unali kupitirirapo mita imodzi.

And he made ten stands of bronze, —four cubits, the length of each stand, and, four cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof.

28 Maphakawo anapangidwa motere: Anali ndi matabwa a mʼmbali amene ankalowa mʼmaferemu.

And, this, was the work of the stand, there were, side walls, to them, —and, the side-walls, were between joining ledges;

29 Pakati pa matabwa a mʼmbali ndi maferemu panali zithunzi za mikango, ngʼombe zazimuna ndi akerubi. Pa maferemuwo, pamwamba ndi pansi pake pa mikangoyo ndi ngʼombe zazimunazo anajambulapo nkhata za maluwa.

and, upon the side-walls which were between the ledges, were lions, oxen, and cherubim, and, upon the ledges, was a pedestal above, and, beneath the lions and oxen, a wreath of hanging work.

30 Phaka lililonse linali ndi mikombero ya mkuwa inayi ndi mitandanso ya mkuwa, ndipo phaka lililonse linali ndi zogwiriziza mbale zosambira pa ngodya zake zinayi, zopangidwa limodzi ndi nkhata za maluwa mbali zake zonse.

And, four wheels of bronze, had each stand, with axles of bronze, and, the four steps thereof, had shoulder pieces, —under the laver, were the molten shoulder-pieces, over against each wreath.

31 Mʼkati mwa phakalo munali malo otsekuka amene anali ndi feremu yozungulira ndipo anali ozama theka la mita. Malo otsekukawa anali wozungulira, ndipo pamodzi ndi tsinde lake anali otalika masentimita 44. Kuzungulira pa malo otsekukawa panajambulidwa zokometsera. Matabwa oyimikira phakali anali ofanana mbali zonse, osati ozungulira.

And, the mouth thereof, within the capital and upwards, was a cubit, and, the mouth thereof, was round, of pedestal work, a cubit and a half, —moreover also, upon the mouth thereof, were gravings, with their side-walls four-square, not round.

32 Pansi pa matabwawo panali mikombero inayi, ndipo mitanda ya mikomberoyo inalumikizidwa ku phakalo. Msinkhu wa mkombero uliwonse unali masentimita 66.

And, four wheels, were beneath the side-walls, the axletrees of the wheels, being in the stands, —and, the height of each wheel, was a cubit and a half:

33 Mikomberoyo inapangidwa ngati mikombero ya galeta; mitanda yake, marimu ake, sipokosi zake ndiponso mahabu ake, zonsezi zinali za chitsulo.

and, the work of the wheels, was like the work of a chariot-wheel; and, their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, the whole, were molten.

34 Phaka lililonse linali ndi zogwirira zinayi; chogwirira chimodzi pa ngodya iliyonse, zolumikizidwa ku phakalo.

And there were, four shoulder-pieces, at the four corners of each stand, of the stand itself, were the shoulder-pieces thereof.

35 Pamwamba pa phakalo panali mkombero wozungulira ndipo msinkhu wake unali masentimita 22. Pamwamba pa phakalo panali zogwiriziza ndi matabwa ake, zolumikizidwa ku phakalo.

And, in the top of the stand, half a cubit in height, was a circular piece round about, —and, on the top of the stand, the tenons thereof, and, the side-walls thereof, were of the same.

36 Paliponse pamene panali malo woti nʼkujambulapo, pa zogwiriziza ndi pa matabwa, anagobapo zithunzi za akerubi, mikango ndi mitengo ya mgwalangwa. Anajambulanso nkhata za maluwa mozungulira.

Then carved he, upon the plates of the tenons thereof, and upon the side-walls thereof, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, —according to the open space of each with a wreath round about.

37 Umu ndi mmene anapangira maphaka khumiwo. Onse anawapanga malo ofanana ndipo anali a miyeso yofanana ndiponso wooneka mofanana.

Thus, made he the ten stands, —one mould, one measure, one shape, had they, all.

38 Kenaka anapanga mabeseni akuluakulu khumi a mkuwa; beseni lililonse munkalowa madzi a malita 800, ndipo poyeza modutsa, pakamwa pake panali pafupifupi mamita awiri. Maphaka khumi aja, lililonse linali ndi beseni lake.

Then made he ten lavers of bronze, —forty baths, would each laver contain, four cubits, was each laver, one laver, was on each of, the ten stands.

39 Maphaka asanu anawayika mbali ya kummwera kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, asanu enawo anawayika mbali ya kumpoto. Mbiyayo anayiyika mbali yakummwera, pa ngodya yakummwera cha kummawa kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu.

And he set the stands, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house, —but, the sea, he set on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south.

40 Iye anapanganso miphika ndi mafosholo ndi mabeseni owazira magazi. Kotero Hiramu anatsiriza ntchito yonse ya ku Nyumba ya Yehova imene ankagwirira Mfumu Solomoni:

And Hiram made lavers, and shovels, and bowls, —and Hiram ended the doing of all the work which he wrought for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh:

41 nsanamira ziwiri; mbale ziwiri za mitu yapamwamba pa nsanamirazo; maukonde awiri okongoletsera mbale ziwiri za mitu yapamwamba pa nsanamirazo;

two pillars, —and the bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the two pillars, —and the two frames of checker-work, covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were upon the top of the pillars;

42 makangadza 400 a maukonde awiri okongoletserawo (mizere iwiri ya makangadza pa ukonde uliwonse, kukongoletsa mbale za mitu yapamwamba pa nsanamira);

and the four hundred pomegranates, for the two frames of checker-work, —two rows of pomegranates to each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;

43 maphaka khumi pamodzi ndi mabeseni khumi pa maphakawo;

and the ten stands, —with the ten lavers upon the stands;

44 mbiya pamodzi ndi ngʼombe khumi ndi ziwiri zazimuna zosanjikapo mbiyayo;

and the one sea, —with the twelve oxen under the sea;

45 miphika, mafosholo ndi mbale zowazira magazi. Ziwiya zonsezi za ku Nyumba ya Yehova, zimene Hiramu anapangira Mfumu Solomoni, zinali zamkuwa wonyezimira.

and the pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls, and, all these vessels which Hiram made King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh, were of burnished bronze.

46 Mfumu inapangitsa zimenezi mʼchigwa cha Yorodani, ku malo amtapo amene anali pakati pa Sukoti ndi Zaretani.

In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground, —between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Solomoni sanayeze ziwiya zonsezi chifukwa zinali zambiri ndipo kulemera kwa mkuwa sikunadziwike.

And Solomon let all the vessels be, because of their exceeding great multitude, —the weight of the bronze was not found out.

48 Solomoni anapanganso ziwiya zonse zimene zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova: guwa lansembe lagolide; tebulo lagolide pamene ankayikapo buledi woperekedwa kwa Mulungu;

And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh, —the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereon was the presence-bread;

49 zoyikapo nyale zagolide weniweni (dzanja lamanja zisanu ndipo zisanu zina ku dzanja lamanzere, mʼkati mwenimweni mwa malo opatulika); maluwa agolide, nyale ndi mbaniro;

and the lamp-holders—five on the right and five on the left, before the shrine, of pure gold, —with the blossoms, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

50 mbale zagolide weniweni, zozimitsira nyale, mbale zowazira magazi, mbale ndi zofukizira; ndiponso zomangira zitseko zagolide za chipinda chamʼkati mwenimweni, Malo Opatulika Kwambiri, ndiponso za zitseko za chipinda chachikulu cha Nyumba ya Mulungu.

and the bowls, and the snuffers, and the tossing bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold, —and the hinge-holes, for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house itself, the temple, of, gold.

51 Pamene ntchito yonse imene Mfumu Solomoni inagwira pa Nyumba ya Yehova inatha, anabwera ndi zinthu zonse zimene abambo ake Davide anazipereka: siliva, golide ndi ziwiya. Anaziyika mʼzipinda zosungiramo chuma cha ku Nyumba ya Yehova.

So was completed all the work which King Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father—the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
