< 1 Kings 6 >

1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of YHWH.
Mwaka-inĩ wa magana mana na mĩrongo ĩnana, thuutha wa andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, o mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa Solomoni gũthamakĩra Isiraeli, mweri-inĩ wa Zivu, naguo nĩguo mweri wa keerĩ-rĩ, Solomoni akĩambĩrĩria gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova.
2 The house which king Solomon built for YHWH, its length was one hundred three feet and four inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches.
Hekarũ ĩrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aakĩire Jehova yarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na ũraihu wa na igũrũ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
3 The porch before the temple of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches was its length, according to the breadth of the house. Seventeen feet and three inches was its breadth before the house.
Gĩthaku kĩa mwena wa mbere wa nyũmba ĩyo nene ya hekarũ nĩkĩongereire wariĩ wa hekarũ, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na gĩgacomoka mĩkono ikũmi kuuma na mwena wa mbere wa hekarũ.
4 For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.
Nake agĩakĩra hekarũ ndirica ngundeeru cia na igũrũ.
5 Against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side-rooms all around.
Nĩaakithirie tũnyũmba twa mĩena-inĩ, tũgĩthiũrũrũkĩria hekarũ yothe tũnyiitanĩte na thingo cia nyũmba ĩrĩa nene ya hekarũ na cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha na thĩinĩ.
6 The lowest story was eight feet and seven inches broad, and the middle was ten feet and four inches broad, and the third was twelve feet and one inch broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.
Ngoroba ya thĩ mũno yarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano, na ya gatagatĩ yarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ, na ya gatatũ yarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono mũgwanja. Nĩathondekire mbako ithiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa na nja wa hekarũ, nĩgeetha mbaũ iria ndungu cia mwako itigatoonyio thingo-inĩ cia hekarũ.
7 The house, when it was in building, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Hekarũ ĩgĩakwo-rĩ, mahiga marĩa maicũhĩirio kware no mo maahũthĩrirwo, na gũtiarĩ nyondo, kana ithanwa, kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ gĩa kĩgera kĩaiguirwo hau mwako-inĩ wa hekarũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe yaakagwo.
8 And the door for the lowest side-rooms was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.
Mũromo wa gũtoonya ngoroba ya thĩ warĩ mwena wa gũthini wa hekarũ; ningĩ nĩ haarĩ na ngathĩ ya kwambata ngoroba ya gatagatĩ na kuuma hau ĩgathiĩ ngoroba ya gatatũ.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩaka hekarũ na akĩmĩrĩkia, akĩmĩgita na mĩgamba na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.
10 He built the stories against all the house, each eight feet and seven inches high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Na nĩakĩrĩire tũnyũmba twa rwere tũthiũrũkĩirie hekarũ, ũraihu wa o kamwe warĩ mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha na igũrũ, natuo twanyiitithanĩtio na hekarũ na mĩgamba ya mĩtarakwa.
11 The word of YHWH came to Solomon, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩgĩakinyĩire Solomoni, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
12 "Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
“Ha ũhoro wa hekarũ ĩno ũraaka-rĩ, ũngĩrũmĩrĩra uuge wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na ũrũmie mawatho makwa mothe, o na ũmenyerere maathani makwa na ũmathĩkagĩre, nĩngakũhingĩria kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa ndaaheire thoguo Daudi.
13 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."
Na nĩngatũũrania na andũ a Isiraeli, na ndigatiganĩria andũ akwa a Isiraeli.”
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩaka hekarũ na akĩmĩrĩkia.
15 He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.
Nake akĩhumbĩra thingo cia thĩinĩ na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa, ciarĩtwo kuuma thĩ ya hekarũ nginya igũrũ, nakuo thĩ ya hekarũ gũkĩarwo mbaũ cia mũthengera.
16 He built thirty-four feet and five inches on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the beams, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, the most holy place.
Mwena wa thuutha wa hekarũ akĩgayania mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa kuuma thĩ nginya igũrũ, nĩgeetha hekarũ-inĩ hagĩe handũ haamũre thĩinĩ, hatuĩke Harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno.
17 In front of the temple sanctuary was sixty-eight feet and eleven inches.
Ũraihu wa nyũmba ĩrĩa nene yarĩ mbere ya kanyũmba kau warĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩna kũraiha.
18 And the inside of the house was cedar, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
Hekarũ thĩinĩ kwahumbĩrĩtwo na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa, ciicũhĩtio magemio mahaana tũbũũthũ na mahũa macanũku. Indo ciothe ciarĩ cia mĩtarakwa; gũtiarĩ ihiga o na rĩmwe rĩonekaga.
19 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of YHWH.
Thĩinĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre, hekarũ thĩinĩ nĩathondekire handũ ha kũigĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
20 And before the sanctuary was thirty-four feet and five inches in length, and thirty-four feet and five inches in breadth, and thirty-four feet and five inches in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold. And he made the altar of cedar.
Hau thĩinĩ haamũre, ũraihu waho warĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ. Nake nĩagemirie mwena wa thĩinĩ na thahabu therie, na ningĩ akĩgemia kĩgongona kĩu na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
Solomoni aahumbĩrire hekarũ thĩinĩ na thahabu therie, na agĩkĩrania irengeeri cia thahabu mbere ya itoonyero rĩa hau thĩinĩ haamũre harĩa haagemetio na thahabu.
22 The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgemia thĩinĩ guothe na thahabu. Ningĩ nĩagemirie kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre na thahabu.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each seventeen feet and three inches high.
Hau thĩinĩ haamũre, agĩthondeka makerubi meerĩ na mbaũ cia mĩtamaiyũ, ikerubi o rĩmwe rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ikũmi kũraiha na igũrũ.
24 Eight feet and seven inches was the one wing of the cherub, and eight feet and seven inches the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were seventeen feet and three inches.
Ikerubi rĩa mbere rĩarĩ na ithagu rĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha, na rĩu rĩngĩ mĩkono ĩtano; ũguo nĩ kuuga mĩkono ikũmi kuuma mũthia wa ithagu rĩmwe nginya mũthia wa ithagu rĩrĩa rĩngĩ.
25 The other cherub was seventeen feet and three inches: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
Ikerubi rĩa keerĩ o narĩo rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ikũmi; makerubi macio meerĩ nĩmaiganaine na makahaanana.
26 The height of the one cherub was seventeen feet and three inches, and so was it of the other cherub.
Ũraihu wa o ikerubi rĩmwe warĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi.
27 He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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 midst of the house.
Nĩaigire makerubi macio kanyũmba ga thĩinĩ mũno ka hekarũ, matambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo. Ithagu rĩa ikerubi rĩmwe rĩaturumĩte rũthingo rũmwe, narĩo ithagu rĩa ikerubi rĩu rĩngĩ rĩgaturuma rũthingo rũu rũngĩ. Na mathagu mamo magaturumanĩra gatagatĩ ga kanyũmba.
28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Nĩaagemirie makerubi macio na thahabu.
29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
Thingo-inĩ iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie hekarũ, thĩinĩ wa tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ na twa na nja, agĩicũhia magemio ma makerubi, na ma mĩtĩ ya mĩtende, na ma mahũa macanũku.
30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
Ningĩ akĩhumbĩra thĩ ya tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ na twa nja ya hekarũ na thahabu.
31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Narĩo itoonyero rĩa hau thĩinĩ haamũre agĩthondeka mĩrango ya mbaũ cia mĩtamaiyũ, nacio buremu ciayo ciarĩ na mĩena ĩtano.
32 So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.
Na mĩrango-ini yeerĩ ya mbaũ cia mĩtamaiyũ agĩicũhia magemio ma makerubi, na ma mĩtĩ ya mĩtende na ma mahũa macanũku, na akĩgemia makerubi na mĩtĩ ya mĩtende na thahabu hũũre.
33 So also he made for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;
O ũndũ ũmwe nĩathondekire buremu irĩ na mĩena ĩna cia mĩtamaiyũ cia itoonyero rĩa nyũmba ĩrĩa nene.
34 and two doors of fir wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
Ningĩ agĩthondeka mĩrango ĩĩrĩ ya mbaũ cia mĩthengera, o mũrango warĩ na icunjĩ igĩrĩ ciekũnjaga wahingũrwo.
35 He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
Nĩacũhirie makerubi, na mĩtĩ ya mĩtende, na mahũa macanũku igũrũ rĩa mĩrango ĩyo, na akĩmĩgemia na thahabu hũũre ĩigananĩirie wega maicũhio-inĩ macio.
36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.
Na nĩaakire nja ya thĩinĩ na mĩhari ĩtatũ ya mahiga maicũhie na mũhari ũngĩ ũmwe wa mĩgamba mĩicũhie ya mĩtarakwa.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of YHWH laid, in the month Ziv.
Mũthingi wa hekarũ ĩyo ya Jehova wakirwo mwaka wa ĩna wa mweri wa Zivu.
38 In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its fashion. So was he seven years in building it.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe mweri-inĩ wa Bulu, nĩguo mweri wa ĩnana, nĩguo hekarũ yarĩkire hamwe na maũndũ mayo mothe kũringana na ũrĩa yerĩtwo yakwo. Aikarire ihinda rĩa mĩaka mũgwanja akĩmĩaka.
