1 Kings 6
1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of 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 for the LORD, the length thereof was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
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 the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
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 for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
O meere ụlọnsọ ahụ oghereikuku kpara nkpa nʼime ma saa mbara nʼezi, nʼebe elu elu mgbidi ụlọ ahụ.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers 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 nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
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 stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while 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 chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into 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 covered the house with beams and boards 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 then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on 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 Concerning this house which you are in building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with you, which I spoke to David your 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 among 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 within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and 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 twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
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 house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Ụlọ ezumezu nke dị nʼihu ọnụụlọ a dị iri mita na asatọ.
18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
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 the oracle he prepared in the house within, 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 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of 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 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with 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 the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid 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 within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
O mere cherubim abụọ, nke e ji osisi oliv tụọ nʼime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, ịdị elu nke ọbụla bụ mita ise.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
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 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.
Cherub nke abụọ dịkwa iri mita na ụma isii, nʼihi na cherubim abụọ ndị a bụ otu nʼọtụtụ nakwa nʼibu ibu.
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
Ịdị elu nke cherub ọbụla ruru mita ise na ụma isii.
27 And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
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 cherubim with gold.
O jiri ọlaedo machie cherubim ndị ahụ.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
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 floors of the house he 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 for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.
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 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
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 the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
O jikwa osisi junipa mee ibo abụọ a na-emechikọta nʼotu.
35 And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted on the carved work.
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 hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
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 foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
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, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he 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.
