1 Kings 7
1 And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
Kodwa indlu yakhe uSolomoni wayakha iminyaka elitshumi lantathu, wayiqeda yonke indlu yakhe.
2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
Wasesakha indlu yegusu leLebhanoni; ubude bayo babuzingalo ezilikhulu, lobubanzi bayo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lokuphakama kwayo kuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, phezu kwemizila emine yensika zemisedari, lemijabo yemisedari phezu kwezinsika.
3 And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.
Yayifulelwe ngemisedari phezulu, phezu kwemijabo, eyayiphezu kwensika ezingamatshumi amane lanhlanu, ezilitshumi lanhlanu emzileni.
4 And there were prospects in three rows, and light was over against light in three ranks.
Njalo kwakulemizila emithathu yamawindi, ukukhanya kuqondene lokukhanya, kathathu.
5 And all the doors and posts were square in prospect: and light was over against light in three ranks.
Layo yonke iminyango lemigubazi yayilingana inhlangothi zozine, lamawindi, njalo ukukhanya kuqondene lokukhanya, kathathu.
6 And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and thick beams before them.
Wasesenza ikhulusi lezinsika, ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi balo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu; lekhulusi laliphambi kwazo, lezinsika lombundu phambi kwazo.
7 And he made the porch of the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
Wasesenza ikhulusi elesihlalo sobukhosi lapho ahlulela khona, ikhulusi lesahlulelo, lalembeswe ngemisedari kusukela kuphansi kusiya kuphansi.
8 And his house where he might dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, (whom Solomon had taken to wife, ) like unto this porch.
Lendlu yakhe lapho ayehlala khona yayilelinye iguma ngaphakathi kwekhulusi, esetshenzwe ngokufananayo. Wenzela njalo indodakazi kaFaro, uSolomoni ayeyithethe, indlu, njengalelikhulusi.
9 All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.
Zonke lezi zazingezamatshe aligugu abazwe ngokwesilinganiso, asahwe ngesaha ngaphakathi langaphandle, ngitsho kusukela esisekelweni kusiya ematsheni aphezulu, njalo ngaphandle kuze kube segumeni elikhulu.
10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
Njalo yayisekelwe ngamatshe aligugu, amatshe amakhulu, amatshe engalo ezilitshumi, lamatshe engalo eziyisificaminwembili;
11 And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
langaphezulu kwakulamatshe aligugu, abazwe ngokwesilinganiso, lemisedari.
12 And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house.
Leguma elikhulu inhlangothi zonke lalilemizila emithathu yamatshe abaziweyo, lomzila wemijabo yemisedari. Kwakunjalo ngeguma elingaphakathi lendlu yeNkosi, langekhulusi lendlu.
13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
Inkosi uSolomoni yasithuma yathatha uHiramu evela eTire.
14 He was the son of a widow woman of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and cunning, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
Yena wayeyindodana yowesifazana umfelokazi, wesizwe sakoNafithali, loyise wayengumuntu weTire, ingcitshi ekubazeni ithusi; njalo wayegcwele inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa elolwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi ngethusi; weza enkosini uSolomoni, wenza wonke umsebenzi wakhe.
15 For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.
Wasebumba insika ezimbili zethusi; ubude benye insika babuzingalo ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili, lentambo ezingalo ezilitshumi lambili yagombolozela insika yesibili.
16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits.
Wenza futhi iziduku ezimbili zethusi elincibilikisiweyo ukubeka phezu kwezihloko zezinsika; ukuphakama kwesiduku esisodwa kwakuzingalo ezinhlanu, lokuphakama kwesinye isiduku kwakuzingalo ezinhlanu.
17 There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
Amambule angumsebenzi oyisixhobexhobe, intambo eziphothiweyo zazingumsebenzi wamaketane, kusenzela iziduku eziphezu kwezihloko zezinsika; eziyisikhombisa esidukwini esisodwa, leziyisikhombisa kwesinye isiduku.
18 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other chapiter.
Wenza-ke insika zombili, imizila emibili izingelezela phezu kwembule eyodwa, ukwembesa iziduku ezisesihlokweni samapomegranati; wenza njalo lakwesinye isiduku.
19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.
Leziduku ezazisesihlokweni sensika zazingumsebenzi womduze ekhulusini, ingalo ezine.
20 And there were chapiters above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
Njalo iziduku zazisezinsikeni ezimbili, langaphezulu maqondana lesisu, esingasemambuleni; lamapomegranati angamakhulu amabili ayesemizileni ezingelezeleyo, phezu kwesinye isiduku.
21 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
Wasemisa izinsika ekhulusini lethempeli; esemise insika yangakwesokunene wabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi nguJakini; esemise insika yangakwesokhohlo wabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi nguBhowazi.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
Laphezu kwesihloko sezinsika kwakulomsebenzi womduze. Waphela-ke umsebenzi wezinsika.
23 And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
Wasesenza ulwandle oluncibilikisiweyo, luzingalo ezilitshumi kusukela emphethweni kusiya emphethweni, luzingelezele luyisigombolozi, lokuphakama kwalo luzingalo ezinhlanu, lomzila ozingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu waluzingelezela ulugombolozela.
24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
Ngaphansi komphetho walo kwakukhona amaqhaga eluzingelezele alugombolozela, alitshumi engalweni, ezingelezele ulwandle alugombolozela; imizila emibili yamaqhaga yabunjwa ngokuncibilikisa ekubunjweni kwalo ngokuncibilikisa.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
Lwema phezu kwenkabi ezilitshumi lambili; ezintathu zikhangele enyakatho, lezintathu zikhangele entshonalanga, lezintathu zikhangele eningizimu, lezintathu zikhangele empumalanga, lolwandle lwaluphezu kwazo phezulu, lazo zonke ingemuva zazo zazingaphakathi.
26 And it was an handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
Njalo ububanzi balo babuyibubanzi besandla, lomphetho walo wawunjengomphetho wenkezo, njengeluba lomduze; lwalumumethe amabhathi azinkulungwane ezimbili.
27 And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
Wenza lezisekelo ezilitshumi zethusi; ubude besisekelo esisodwa babuzingalo ezine, lobubanzi baso buzingalo ezine, lokuphakama kwaso kuzingalo ezintathu.
28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the ledges:
Lalokhu kwakungumsebenzi wesisekelo: Zazilemiphetho, njalo imiphetho yayiphakathi kwezinhlanganiso;
29 and on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above: and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
lemiphethweni ephakathi kwezinhlanganiso kwakulezilwane, izinkabi, lamakherubhi. Laphezu kwezinhlanganiso kwakulesisekelo ngaphezulu, njalo ngaphansi kwezilwane lezinkabi kwakulezinkatha zomsebenzi okhandiweyo.
30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and axles of brass: and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
Lesisekelo sinye sasilamavili ethusi amane lamaphini ethusi; lamagumbi aso amane ayelamahlombe; ngaphansi kwenditshi yokugezela kwakulamahlombe abunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, eceleni kwaleyo laleyo inkatha.
31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their borders were foursquare, not round.
Lomlomo waso phakathi kwesiduku langaphezulu wawuyingalo, lomlomo wawo wawuyisigombolozi, njengomsebenzi wesisekelo, uyingalo lengxenye; futhi laphezu komlomo wawo kwakulokubaziweyo; njalo imiphetho yayo yayizinhlangothi ezine ezilinganayo, hatshi isigombolozi.
32 And the four wheels were underneath the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
Lamavili amane ayengaphansi kwemiphetho, lama-ekseli amavili ayesesisekelweni; lokuphakama kwevili elilodwa kwakuyingalo lengxenye yengalo.
33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
Njalo umsebenzi wamavili wawunjengomsebenzi wevili lenqola: Ama-ekseli awo lamasongo awo lezipokisi zawo lamahabha awo kwakubunjwe ngokuncibilikisa.
34 And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself.
Njalo kwakulamahlombe amane emagumbini womane esisekelo esisodwa; amahlombe aso avela esisekelweni.
35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
Laphezu kwesihloko sesisekelo kwakulokuphakama okuyisigombolozi okuyingxenye yengalo inhlangothi zonke; laphezu kwesihloko sesisekelo kwakulezisekelo zaso lemiphetho yaso, kuvela kuso.
36 And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm tress, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.
Laphezu kwezibhebhe zezisekelo zaso laphezu kwemiphetho yaso wabaza amakherubhi lezilwane lezihlahla zamalala, njengendawo yakho yonke engelalutho, lezinkatha inhlangothi zonke.
37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
Wazenza ngokunjalo izisekelo ezilitshumi; zonke zazilokubunjwa kunye, isilinganiso sinye, isimo sinye.
38 And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
Wasesenza inditshi zokugezela zethusi ezilitshumi; inditshi yokugezela eyodwa yayimumethe amabhathi angamatshumi amane; inditshi yokugezela eyodwa yayizingalo ezine; inditshi yokugezela eyodwa yayiphezu kwesisekelo ngasinye sezisekelo ezilitshumi.
39 And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
Wasebeka izisekelo ezinhlanu eceleni lokunene lendlu, lezinhlanu eceleni lokhohlo lendlu; lolwandle walubeka eceleni lokunene lendlu, ngasempumalanga maqondana leningizimu.
40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:
UHiramu wasesenza inditshi zokugezela lamafotsholo lemiganu yokufafaza. UHiramu waseqeda ukwenza umsebenzi wonke ayewenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova:
41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars;
Insika zombili, lenditshi zeziduku ezaziphezu kwezinsika zombili, lamambule amabili okwembesa inditshi ezimbili zeziduku eziphezu kwezinsika,
42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
lamapomegranati angamakhulu amane awamambule womabili, imizila emibili yamapomegranati yembule elilodwa, okwembesa inditshi ezimbili zeziduku ezaziphezu kwezinsika,
43 and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
lezisekelo ezilitshumi, lenditshi zokugezela ezilitshumi phezu kwezisekelo,
44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
lolwandle olulodwa, lenkabi ezilitshumi lambili ngaphansi kolwandle;
45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.
lezimbiza lamafotsholo lemiganu yokufafaza, lazo zonke lezizitsha uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova, zazingezethusi elikhazimulisiweyo.
46 In the Plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
Inkosi yazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa emagcekeni eJordani, emhlabathini webumba phakathi kweSukothi leZarethani.
47 And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.
USolomoni wasetshiya zonke lezizitsha zingalinganiswanga, ngenxa yobunengi obukhulukazi; isisindo sethusi kasihlolwanga.
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the shewbread was, of gold;
USolomoni wenza-ke zonke izitsha ezazingezendlu yeNkosi; ilathi legolide, letafula legolide, okwakuphezu kwalo izinkwa zokubukiswa,
49 and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
lezinti zezibane zegolide elicwengekileyo, ezinhlanu ngakwesokunene, lezinhlanu ngakwesokhohlo, phambi kwendawo yelizwi, lamaluba, lezibane, lezindlawu, kwegolide;
50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and basons, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.
lemiganu, lezindlawu, lemiganu yokufafaza, lezinkezo, lezitsha zokuthwala umlilo, kwegolide elicwengekileyo; lamabhanti egolide ezivalo zendlu engaphakathi, zengcwele yezingcwele, ezivalo zendlu yethempeli.
51 Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
Waphela njalo umsebenzi wonke inkosi uSolomoni eyawenza endlini yeNkosi. USolomoni wasengenisa izinto ezingcwelisiweyo zikaDavida uyise; isiliva legolide lezitsha wakubeka enothweni yendlu yeNkosi.
