< 2 Chronicles 3 >
1 Then Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had provided—the former 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 his fourth year as king.
Iye anayamba kumanga pa tsiku lachiwiri la mwezi wachiwiri mʼchaka chachinayi cha ulamuliro wake.
3 The size of the foundation Solomon laid for the Temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, (according to the old cubit measurement).
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 front porch that ran across the width of the Temple was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He covered the inside of the porch 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 overlaid with fine gold, with images of 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 decorated the Temple with beautiful gems, and with gold he imported from Parvaim.
Iye anakongoletsa Nyumba ya Mulunguyo ndi miyala yokongola. Ndipo golide amene anagwiritsa ntchito anali golide wa ku Paravaimu.
7 He covered the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors of the Temple 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 He made the room of the Most Holy Place to correspond with the width of the Temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He covered the interior 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 one shekel for every fifty shekels of gold.
Misomali yagolide imalemera magalamu 570. Anakutanso ndi golide zipinda zapamwamba.
10 He made for the Most Holy Place two wooden cherubim covered with gold.
Ku Malo Opatulika Kwambiri iye anapangako Akerubi awiri achitsulo ndipo anawakuta ndi golide.
11 The wingspan of the cherubim together was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the second 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 In similar fashion, one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched 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 wingspan of these cherubim together 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 embroidery on fine linen, with images of cherubim on it.
Solomoni anapanga nsalu zotchingira zobiriwira, zapepo ndi zofiira ndi nsalu zofewa zosalala, atajambulapo Akerubi.
15 He made two columns for the front of the Temple, thirty-five cubits, each having a capital five cubits high.
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 chains like in the Most Holy Place and he placed them on top of the columns. He also made one hundred ornamental pomegranates and attached them to each chain.
Iye anapanga maunyolo olumikizanalumikizana ndipo anawayika pamwamba pa zipilalazo. Anapanganso makangadza 100 ndipo anawalumikiza ku maunyolo aja.
17 He set up the columns in front of the Temple, one on the south, and one on the north. The column on the south he named Jachin, and the column 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.
