< 1 Kings 6 >
1 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.
Solomọn bidoro iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼọnwa Zif, bụ ọnwa nke abụọ nʼafọ nke anọ nke ịbụ eze ya. Ọ bụkwa nʼafọ nke mere ya narị afọ anọ na iri afọ asatọ site nʼoge ndị Izrel si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
2 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.
Ụlọnsọ nke eze Solomọn wuuru Onyenwe anyị dị iri mita abụọ na asaa nʼogologo, mita itoolu nʼobosara, ebe ịla elu ya dịkwa mita iri na anọ.
3 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.
Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke dị nʼihu ụlọ ezumezu nke ụlọnsọ ahụ dị mita itoolu nʼogologo nke gbakwunyere ihe nʼobosara ụlọnsọ ahụ, dịrịkwa mita anọ na ọkara nʼobosara ya.
4 And he made in the temple oblique windows.
O meere ụlọnsọ ahụ oghereikuku kpara nkpa nʼime ma saa mbara nʼezi, nʼebe elu elu mgbidi ụlọ ahụ.
5 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.
Nʼakụkụ mgbidi ụlọ ezumezu ahụ nakwa mgbidi nke ime ebe nsọ ahụ, o wuru okpukpu gburugburu ụlọ ahụ, nke nwere ọtụtụ ụlọ nta dị iche iche gbaa gburugburu.
6 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.
Obosara okpukpu ụlọ nke dịkarịsịrị ala bụ mita abụọ na ọkara, obosara okpukpu nke ụlọ etiti dị mita atọ, otu a kwa, obosara okpukpu ụlọ nke atọ dị mita atọ na ọkara. Mgbe e wuru mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gburugburu, e wukwara ihe dịka aka nʼakụkụ mgbidi ahụ niile. Ọ bụ nʼelu ihe ndị a dịka aka ka e dokwasịrị osisi e ji wuo ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ka e ji gbochie ịmanye ihe ọbụla nʼaja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
7 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.
Mgbe a na-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ọ bụ naanị nkume awara nke ọma nʼebe a nọ gwupụta ha ka eji wuo ya. O nweghị onye nụrụ ụzụ itipịa nkume, maọbụ ụzụ ịwa osisi, maọbụ ụdị mkpọtụ ahụ ngwa ọrụ mkpirisi igwe na-eme, nʼebe a nọ wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, mgbe a na-ewu ya.
8 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.
Ọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼọnụ ụlọ ndị dị nʼokpukpu ụlọ elu nke mbụ dị nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. E nwekwara ụzọ nrigo e wuru e si abanye nʼọnụ ụlọ ndị dị nʼokpukpu ndị dị nʼetiti. A na-esitekwa na nke a rigoro ruo na nke atọ.
9 So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
Mgbe o wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu a, Solomọn jiri ibe osisi na osisi dị obosara e si nʼosisi sida mepụta, wuo ihe mgbachị elu ụlọ ahụ.
10 And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
O wuru ọtụtụ ọnụụlọ nta nʼakụkụ mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gburugburu. Ọ bụkwa osisi sida ka e ji jikọta mgbidi ụlọ ahụ na ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ. Ịdị elu nke ọbụla nʼime ha bụ mita abụọ na ọkara.
11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Solomọn ntị,
12 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.
“Banyere ụlọnsọ ukwu a i na-ewu, ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe m gwara gị, gbasoo ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu, ma mezuo okwu m niile, aga m esite na gị mezuo nkwa ahụ m kwere nna gị Devid.
13 And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
Aga m ebikwa nʼetiti ndị Izrel, agaghị m ahapụkwa ndị m, Izrel.”
14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.
Emesịa, Solomọn wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
15 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.
O ji osisi sida dị obosara machie ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ site nʼakụkụ ala ruo nʼelu ya. E jikwa osisi junipa machie ala ụlọ ahụ niile.
16 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.
O ji osisi sida kewapụta ihe ruru mita itoolu nʼazụ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, site nʼala ụlọ ahụ ruo nʼelu, nʼihi iwepụta site nʼụlọnsọ ahụ, ime ime ebe nsọ, nke bụ Ebe Kachasị Nsọ.
17 And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.
Ụlọ ezumezu nke dị nʼihu ọnụụlọ a dị iri mita na asatọ.
18 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.
Ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ bụ osisi sida, nke a tụrụ ihe ọtụtụ nke oyiyi afụfa ọhịa na okoko osisi wasara awasa nʼelu ya. Ihe niile dị nʼime ụlọ ahụ bụ osisi sida, adịghị ahụ nkume ọbụla anya.
19 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.
Ọ kwadokwara ebe nsọ ahụ, ebe dị nʼime ime ụlọ ahụ, maka idebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ.
20 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.
Ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, dị mita iri nʼogologo, obosara ya dịkwa mita iri, ịdị elu ya dịkwa mita iri. O ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie ahụ ime ụlọ a niile, jiri osisi sida machie ebe nchụaja ya.
21 And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.
Solomọn ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ gbatịrị ụdọ ọlaedo gafere nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, nke e jikwa ọlaedo machie.
22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.
Ya mere, o ji ọlaedo machie ime ya niile. O jikwa ọlaedo machie ebe ịchụ aja nke dịịrị ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ.
23 And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
O mere cherubim abụọ, nke e ji osisi oliv tụọ nʼime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, ịdị elu nke ọbụla bụ mita ise.
24 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.
Cherub nke mbụ nwere nku abụọ, otu nku dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo, nku nke ọzọ dịkwa mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo. Ya bụ, mita ise site na ụma isii, site nʼọnụ otu nku ruo nʼọnụ nku nke ọzọ.
25 The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
Cherub nke abụọ dịkwa iri mita na ụma isii, nʼihi na cherubim abụọ ndị a bụ otu nʼọtụtụ nakwa nʼibu ibu.
26 That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
Ịdị elu nke cherub ọbụla ruru mita ise na ụma isii.
27 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.
O tinyere cherubim ndị a nke gbasapụrụ nku ha nʼime ime Ebe Nsọ Kachasị Nsọ nke ụlọnsọ ukwu. Ọnụ ọnụ nke nku cherub ọbụla na-emetụ otu akụkụ ahụ ụlọ ahụ, ebe ọnụ ọnụ nke nku cherub ọbụla na-emetụ na nke ibe ya nʼetiti ọnụụlọ ahụ.
28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
O jiri ọlaedo machie cherubim ndị ahụ.
29 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.
Nʼahụ aja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gbaa gburugburu, ma nʼime ọnụụlọ nke dị nʼime na ndị dị na mpụta, ka ọ pịkwasịrị oyiyi cherubim, osisi nkwụ na okoko osisi wara awa.
30 And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
O jikwa ọlaedo machie ala ụlọ nke ọnụụlọ niile dị nʼime ụlọ, na ọnụụlọ ndị dị na mpụta ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
31 And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
O ji osisi oliv mee ibo ọnụ ụzọ mbata nke ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, osisi ndị a bụ otu ụzọ nʼụzọ ise nke obosara ebe nsọ ahụ.
32 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.
Nʼahụ ibo abụọ ahụ nke si nʼosisi oliv, ọ tụnyere oyiyi cherubim abụọ, igu nkwụ na okoko osisi wara awa. O ji ọlaedo etipịara etipịa machie oyiyi cherubim na igu nkwụ ndị ahụ.
33 And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
Otu a kwa, o ji osisi oliv mee mbudo ibo ọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼụlọ ezumezu ahụ, nke bụ otu ụzọ na nkewa anọ nke obosara ụlọ ezumezu ahụ.
34 And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.
O jikwa osisi junipa mee ibo abụọ a na-emechikọta nʼotu.
35 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.
Ọ pịrị oyiyi cherubim na oyiyi nkwụ, na oyiyi okoko osisi wara awa, jiri ọlaedo techie ibo ndị ahụ na oyiyi a pịkwasịrị ha.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
O wuru ogige nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ bụ ahịrị nkume atọ e doziri edozi na otu ahịrị osisi sida a kwachara nke ọma ka e ji wuo ogige a.
37 In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
Ọ bụ nʼọnwa Ziv, nʼafọ nke anọ, nke ịbụ eze Solomọn ka a tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
38 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.
Ọ bụ nʼime afọ iri na otu, nʼọnwa Bul, ya bụ ọnwa nke asatọ, ka e wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼihe niile ya dịka ntụziaka e nyere si dị. Ọ bụ afọ asaa ka o weere ya i ji rụchaa ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
