2 Chronicles 4
1 Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards high.
Wasesenza ilathi lethusi, ubude balo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi balo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwalo kuzingalo ezilitshumi.
2 They also made a very large round tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 10 yards wide/across, and 5 yards high. It was 15 yards around it.
Wasesenza ulwandle olubunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, luzingalo ezilitshumi kusukela okhunjini lwalo kusiya okhunjini lwalo, lwalugombolozele inhlangothi zonke, lokuphakama kwalo kuzingalo ezinhlanu, lomzila wezingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu ulugombolozele inhlangothi zonke.
3 Below the outer rim there were two rows of [small figures of] bulls that were part of the metal of the basin. Each row had 300 figures of bulls.
Lokufanana kwenkabi kwakungaphansi kwalo, kubhodabhoda inhlangothi zonke zalo, ezilitshumi engalweni, lugombolozela ulwandle inhlangothi zonke; imizila emibili yenkabi yabunjwa ngokuncibilikisa ekubunjweni kwalo.
4 The basin was set on twelve [statues of] bulls. There were three statues that faced north, three that faced west, three that faced south, and three that faced east.
Lwalumi 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.
5 The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].
Uhlonzi lwalo lwaluyibubanzi besandla, lomphetho walo wawunjengomsebenzi womphetho wenkezo, njengeluba lomduze, lwalumumethe amabhathi, lumumethe azinkulungwane ezintathu.
6 They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.
Wasesenza inditshi zokugezela ezilitshumi, wabeka ezinhlanu ngakwesokunene, lezinhlanu ngakwesokhohlo, ukugezisela kizo; babegezisela kizo okomnikelo wokutshiswa; kodwa ulwandle lwalungolwabapristi ukugezela kulo.
7 They also made ten gold lampstands according to what Solomon had instructed them. They put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
Wasesenza izinti zezibane zegolide ezilitshumi njengokumiswa kwazo, wazibeka ethempelini, ezinhlanu ngakwesokunene, lezinhlanu ngakwesokhohlo.
8 They made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. They also made 100 gold bowls.
Wenza lamatafula alitshumi, wawabeka ethempelini, amahlanu ngakwesokunene, lamahlanu ngakwesokhohlo. Wenza lemiganu elikhulu yegolide.
9 They also constructed one courtyard for the priests, and a larger courtyard [for the other people]. They made doors for the courtyards and covered them with [thin sheets of] bronze.
Wenza leguma labapristi leguma elikhulu, lezivalo zeguma, wazihuqa izivalo zalo ngethusi.
10 They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
Wasebeka ulwandle ehlangothini lokunene ngasempumalanga maqondana leningizimu.
11 They also made pots and shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and other small bowls. So Huram [and his workers] finished the work that King Solomon had given him to do at the temple of God.
UHuramu wasesenza izimbiza lamafotsholo lemiganu yokufafaza. UHuramu waqeda ukwenza umsebenzi ayewenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaNkulunkulu.
12 [These were the things that they made: ] the two large pillars, the two bowl-shaped top parts on top of the pillars, the two sets of carvings that resembled chains to decorate the tops of the two pillars,
Insika ezimbili, lemiganu, leziduku phezu kwengqonga yezinsika ezimbili, lamambule amabili okwembesa imiganu emibili yeziduku ezaziphezu kwengqonga yezinsika,
13 the 400 carvings that resembled pomegranates that were placed in two rows, that decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,
lamapomegranati angamakhulu amane emambuleni womabili, imizila emibili yamapomegranati kulelo lalelombule, okwembesa imiganu emibili yeziduku ezaziphezu kwengqonga yezinsika.
14 the stands, and the basins that were placed on them,
Wenza lezisekelo, wenza lezinditshi zokugezela phezu kwezisekelo;
15 the very large tank, and the [statues of] twelve bulls underneath it,
ulwandle olulodwa, lezinkabi ezilitshumi lambili ngaphansi kwalo.
16 the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other things [needed for the work at the altar]. All those things that Huram [and his workers] made for King Solomon were made of polished bronze.
Lezimbiza, lamafotsholo, lamafologwe, lazo zonke izitsha zakho uHuramu Abhi wazenzela inkosi uSolomoni esenzela indlu yeNkosi ngethusi elikhazimulayo.
17 They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [river] between Succoth and Zarethan [cities].
Inkosi yazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa emagcekeni eJordani emhlabathini olibumba phakathi kweSukothi leZeredatha.
18 All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
USolomoni wasezenza zonke lezizitsha ngobunengi obukhulu, ngoba isisindo sethusi sasingehlolwe.
19 Solomon’s workers also made all these things that were put at the temple: the golden altar, the tables on which the priests put the sacred bread,
USolomoni wazenza-ke zonke izitsha ezazingezendlu kaNkulunkulu, lelathi legolide, lamatafula okwakukhona kuwo izinkwa zokubukiswa,
20 the pure gold lampstands and the pure gold lamps, [in which the priests put oil] to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as God had told [Moses that the priests should do],
lezinti zezibane lezibane zazo ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ukuthi zibhebhe ngokwesimiso phambi kwendawo yelizwi;
21 the pure gold decorations that resembled flowers, and the lamps and tongs,
lamaluba lezibane lezindlawu, ngegolide, kwakuligolide elipheleleyo;
22 the pure gold wick trimmers and bowls for sprinkling, and dishes and lamp snuffers, the gold doors of the temple and the doors to the main hall.
lezindlawu, lemiganu yokufafaza, lezinkezo, lezitsha zokuthwala umlilo, ngegolide elicwengekileyo; njalo iminyango yendlu, izivalo zayo ezingaphakathi, ezengcwele yezingcwele, lezivalo zendlu yethempeli zazingezegolide.
