2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
USolomoni waseqala ukwakha indlu yeNkosi eJerusalema entabeni yeMoriya lapho eyabonakala khona kuDavida uyise, endaweni uDavida ayilungisayo ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi.
2 And he began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
Waseqalisa ukwakha ngenyanga yesibili ngolwesibili ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe.
3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
Lalezi yizisekelo zikaSolomoni zokwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu. Ubude ngezingalo ngesilinganiso esidala babuzingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili.
4 And the porch that was before [the house], the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
Lekhulusi elaliphambili, ubude njengobubanzi bendlu babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwakuzingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili. Wayihuqa ngaphakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo.
5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm trees and chains:
Lendlu enkulu wayembesa ngezigodo zefiri, wayihuqa ngegolide elihle, wamisa phezu kwayo amalala lamaketane.
6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
Wayembesela ubuhle indlu ngamatshe aligugu; njalo igolide laliligolide leParivayimi.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls.
Waseyihuqa indlu, imijabo, imigubazi, lemiduli yayo, leminyango yayo ngegolide, wabaza ngokugubha amakherubhi emidulwini.
8 And he made the most holy house; the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
Wasesenza indlu yengcwele yezingcwele; ubude bayo njengobubanzi bendlu babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi bayo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; wayihuqa ngegolide elihle kwaze kwaba ngamathalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha.
9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
Lesisindo sezipikili saze saba ngamashekeli egolide angamatshumi amahlanu. Wawahuqa amakamelo aphezulu ngegolide.
10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold.
Wasesenza endlini yengcwele yezingcwele amakherubhi amabili ngomsebenzi obaziweyo, wawahuqa ngegolide.
11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one [cherub] was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was [likewise] five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
Lempiko zamakherubhi, ubude bazo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili. Uphiko lwelilodwa lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu lufinyelela emdulini wendlu, lolunye uphiko lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu lufinyelela ophikweni lwelinye ikherubhi.
12 And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits [also], joining to the wing of the other cherub.
Ngokunjalo uphiko lwelinye ikherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu lufinyelela emdulini wendlu; lolunye uphiko lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu lunamathele ephikweni lwelinye ikherubhi.
13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
Impiko zalamakherubhi zeluleka ingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; njalo ema ngenyawo zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangele ngasendlini.
14 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.
Wasesenza iveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, wabeka kulo amakherubhi.
15 Also he made before the house two pillars, of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
Wasesenza phambi kwendlu insika ezimbili, ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu, lesiduku phezu kwengqonga yayo buzingalo ezinhlanu.
16 And he made chains in the oracle, and put [them] on the tops of the pillars; and he made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
Wasesenza amaketane njengendaweni yelizwi, wawafaka esihlokweni sezinsika; wenza lamapomegranati alikhulu, wawafaka emaketaneni.
17 And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
Wasemisa izinsika ngaphambi kwethempeli, enye ngakwesokunene, lenye ngakwesokhohlo; wasebiza ibizo lengakwesokunene uJakini, lebizo lengakwesokhohlo uBhowazi.
