< 2 Chronicles 3 >
1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Pamenepo Solomoni anayamba kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova mu Yerusalemu pa Phiri la Moriya, pamene Yehova anaonekera Davide abambo ake. Panali pabwalo lopunthirapo tirigu la Arauna Myebusi, malo amene anapereka Davide.
2 Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
Iye anayamba kumanga pa tsiku lachiwiri la mwezi wachiwiri mʼchaka chachinayi cha ulamuliro wake.
3 The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
Maziko amene Solomoni anayika pomanga Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi awa: Mulitali munali mamita 27, mulifupi munali mamita asanu ndi anayi (potsata miyeso yakale).
4 The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
Chipinda cha polowera mulitali mwake chinali mamita asanu ndi anayi ofanana ndi mulifupi mwake mwa nyumbayo. Msinkhu wake unali mamita 54. Iye anakuta nyumbayo mʼkati mwake ndi golide woyengeka bwino.
5 He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
Chipinda chachikulu, khoma lake anakhomera matabwa a payini ndipo analikutira ndi golide wabwino ndi kulikongoletsa ndi zithunzi za kanjedza ndi maunyolo.
6 He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
Iye anakongoletsa Nyumba ya Mulunguyo ndi miyala yokongola. Ndipo golide amene anagwiritsa ntchito anali golide wa ku Paravaimu.
7 He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
Iye anakutira ndi golide mitanda ya ku denga, maferemu a zitseko, makoma ndi zitseko za Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo anajambula Akerubi mʼmakoma mwake.
8 Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
Iye anamanga Malo Opatulika Kwambiri ndipo mulitali mwake munali mofanana ndi mulifupi mwa Nyumba mamita asanu ndi anayi. Anakuta mʼkati mwake ndi golide wosalala wolemera matani makumi awiri.
9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
Misomali yagolide imalemera magalamu 570. Anakutanso ndi golide zipinda zapamwamba.
10 In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
Ku Malo Opatulika Kwambiri iye anapangako Akerubi awiri achitsulo ndipo anawakuta ndi golide.
11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
Kutalika kwa mapiko onse a Akerubi kunali mamita asanu ndi anayi. Phiko la Kerubi woyamba linali loposerapo mamita awiri ndipo limakhudza khoma la Nyumba ya Mulungu, pamene phiko linalo, lotalikanso koposerapo mamita awiri, limakhudza phiko la Kerubi winayo.
12 The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
Chimodzimodzinso phiko la Kerubi wachiwiri linali loposerapo mamita awiri ndipo limakhudza mbali ina ya khoma la Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo linalo limene linalinso loposera mamita awiri, limakhudza phiko la Kerubi woyamba uja.
13 So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
Mapiko a Akerubiwa akawatambasula amatalika mamita asanu ndi anayi. Akerubiwa anayimirira pa mapazi awo, kuyangʼana chipinda chachikulu.
14 He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
Solomoni anapanga nsalu zotchingira zobiriwira, zapepo ndi zofiira ndi nsalu zofewa zosalala, atajambulapo Akerubi.
15 In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
Kutsogolo kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu anamangako zipilala ziwiri, zimene zonse pamodzi zinali zotalika mamita khumi ndi asanu ndi theka; chipilala chilichonse chinali ndi mutu woposera mamita awiri.
16 He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
Iye anapanga maunyolo olumikizanalumikizana ndipo anawayika pamwamba pa zipilalazo. Anapanganso makangadza 100 ndipo anawalumikiza ku maunyolo aja.
17 Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
Solomoni anayimika nsanamirazo kutsogolo kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, imodzi mbali ya kummwera ndi inayo mbali ya kumpoto. Nsanamira ya kummwera anayitcha Yakini ndipo ya kumpoto anayitcha Bowazi.
