1 Kings 7
1 Solomon, however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace.
Solomoni anamanga nyumba yake yaufumu kwa zaka 13.
2 He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams.
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.
3 The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
Pamwamba pa mitandapo panali matabwa a mkungudza amene anaphimba zipinda zimene zinamangidwa pa nsanamira 45, pa mzere uliwonse nsanamira 15.
4 There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
Mazenera a nyumbayo anali mmwamba mʼmizere itatu, zenera kuyangʼanana ndi zenera linzake.
5 All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
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.
6 Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
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.
7 In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
Anamanga chipinda cha mpando waufumu, Chipinda cha Chilungamo, modzaweruziramo milandu ndipo anayikutira ndi matabwa a mkungudza kuchokera pansi mpaka ku denga.
8 And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
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.
9 All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard.
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.
10 The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.
Maziko ake anali a miyala yabwino kwambiri, kutalika kwa miyala ina kunali mamita atatu ndi theka, inanso mamita anayi.
11 Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
Pamwamba pake panali pa miyala yabwino kwambiri, yosemedwa potengera miyeso yake. Pamwamba pa miyalayo panali matabwa a mkungudza.
12 The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD.
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.
13 Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.
Mfumu Solomoni anatuma anthu ku Turo ndipo anakabwera ndi Hiramu,
14 He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.
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.
15 He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
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.
16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.
Anapanganso mitu iwiri ya mkuwa ndi kuyiika pamwamba pa nsanamira zija; mutu uliwonse unali wotalika kupitirirapo mamita awiri.
17 For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
Pa mitu ya pa nsanamirazo anakolekapo maunyolo awiri olukanalukana ndi oyangayanga. Mutu uliwonse unali ndi maunyolo oterewa asanu ndi awiri.
18 Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
Anapanga mizere iwiri ya zinthu zonga makangadza mozungulira pamwamba pa maunyolo kukongoletsa mitu ya nsanamirazo. Anachita chimodzimodzi ndi mutu uliwonse.
19 And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
Mitu imene inali pamwamba pa nsanamira mʼkhonde inali yooneka ngati maluwa okongola kwambiri. Kutalika kwake kunali pafupifupi mamita awiri.
20 On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
Pa mitu yonse iwiri ya pamwamba pa nsanamira, pamwamba pa chigawo chonga mʼphika pafupi ndi cholukidwa ngati ukonde, panali makangadza 200 okhala mozungulira mʼmizere.
21 Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
Anayimika nsanamirazo pa khonde la Nyumba ya Mulungu. Nsanamira ya kumpoto anayitcha Yakini ndipo ya kummwera anayitcha Bowazi.
22 And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
Mitu ya pamwamba pa nsanamirazo inali yooneka ngati maluwa okongola kwambiri. Motero anamaliza ntchito ya nsanamirazo.
23 He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
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.
24 Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
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.
25 The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
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.
26 It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.
Mbiyayo inali yonenepa ngati chikhatho ndipo mkombero wake unali ngati mkombero wa chikho, ngati duwa lokongola kwambiri. Mʼmbiyamo munkalowa madzi okwana malita 40,000.
27 In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
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.
28 This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,
Maphakawo anapangidwa motere: Anali ndi matabwa a mʼmbali amene ankalowa mʼmaferemu.
29 and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
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.
30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.
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.
31 The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
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.
32 There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.
Pansi pa matabwawo panali mikombero inayi, ndipo mitanda ya mikomberoyo inalumikizidwa ku phakalo. Msinkhu wa mkombero uliwonse unali masentimita 66.
33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
Mikomberoyo inapangidwa ngati mikombero ya galeta; mitanda yake, marimu ake, sipokosi zake ndiponso mahabu ake, zonsezi zinali za chitsulo.
34 Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.
Phaka lililonse linali ndi zogwirira zinayi; chogwirira chimodzi pa ngodya iliyonse, zolumikizidwa ku phakalo.
35 At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.
Pamwamba pa phakalo panali mkombero wozungulira ndipo msinkhu wake unali masentimita 22. Pamwamba pa phakalo panali zogwiriziza ndi matabwa ake, zolumikizidwa ku phakalo.
36 He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.
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.
37 In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
Umu ndi mmene anapangira maphaka khumiwo. Onse anawapanga malo ofanana ndipo anali a miyeso yofanana ndiponso wooneka mofanana.
38 He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
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.
39 He set five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north, and he put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
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.
40 Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:
Iye anapanganso miphika ndi mafosholo ndi mabeseni owazira magazi. Kotero Hiramu anatsiriza ntchito yonse ya ku Nyumba ya Yehova imene ankagwirira Mfumu Solomoni:
41 the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
nsanamira ziwiri; mbale ziwiri za mitu yapamwamba pa nsanamirazo; maukonde awiri okongoletsera mbale ziwiri za mitu yapamwamba pa nsanamirazo;
42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
makangadza 400 a maukonde awiri okongoletserawo (mizere iwiri ya makangadza pa ukonde uliwonse, kukongoletsa mbale za mitu yapamwamba pa nsanamira);
43 the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;
maphaka khumi pamodzi ndi mabeseni khumi pa maphakawo;
44 the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
mbiya pamodzi ndi ngʼombe khumi ndi ziwiri zazimuna zosanjikapo mbiyayo;
45 and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.
miphika, mafosholo ndi mbale zowazira magazi. Ziwiya zonsezi za ku Nyumba ya Yehova, zimene Hiramu anapangira Mfumu Solomoni, zinali zamkuwa wonyezimira.
46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
Mfumu inapangitsa zimenezi mʼchigwa cha Yorodani, ku malo amtapo amene anali pakati pa Sukoti ndi Zaretani.
47 Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
Solomoni sanayeze ziwiya zonsezi chifukwa zinali zambiri ndipo kulemera kwa mkuwa sikunadziwike.
48 Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
Solomoni anapanganso ziwiya zonse zimene zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova: guwa lansembe lagolide; tebulo lagolide pamene ankayikapo buledi woperekedwa kwa Mulungu;
49 the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;
zoyikapo nyale zagolide weniweni (dzanja lamanja zisanu ndipo zisanu zina ku dzanja lamanzere, mʼkati mwenimweni mwa malo opatulika); maluwa agolide, nyale ndi mbaniro;
50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place ) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
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.
51 So all the work that King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
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.
