1 Kings 6
1 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, he began to build the LORD’s house.
Zvino mugore ramazana mana namakumi masere mushure mokubuda kwavaIsraeri munyika yeIjipiti, mugore rechina rokubata ushe kwaSoromoni pamusoro peIsraeri, mumwedzi waZivhi, unova mwedzi wechipiri, akatanga kuvaka temberi yaJehovha.
2 The house which King Solomon built for the LORD had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
Temberi yakavakirwa Jehovha naMambo Soromoni yakanga yakareba makubhiti makumi matanhatu, ina makubhiti makumi maviri paupamhi hwayo, ina makubhiti makumi matatu pakukwirira kwayo kumusoro.
3 The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
Biravira raiva mberi kweimba huru yetemberi rakawedzera upamhi hwetemberi hwamakubhiti makumi maviri uye rakanga rakapfuurira mberi kwetemberi namakubhiti gumi.
4 He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
Akaitira temberi iyi mawindo ane upamhi hudiki.
5 Against the wall of the house, he built floors 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.
Pamadziro eimba huru neeimba tsvene yomukati akavaka chivakwa chakapoteredza imba, chaiva nedzimwe dzimba kumativi.
6 The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
Imba yapasi yaiva noupamhi hwamakubhiti mashanu, imba yapakati yaiva noupamhi hwamakubhiti matanhatu uye imba yechitatu yaiva namakubhiti manomwe. Nechokunze akavaka zvitakuriso kumativi kuti matanda arege kupinda mukati mamadziro etemberi.
7 The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or axe or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
Pakuvaka madziro etemberi mabwe akanga avezwa chete ndiwo akashandiswa, uye hapana kunzwikwa kurira kwesando kana mbezo kana mumwe mudziyo patemberi payakanga ichivakwa.
8 The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
Musuo weimba yapakati waiva kuchamhembe kwetemberi, paiva namatanho aienda kuimba yapasi, achizobva kuimba yapakati achienda kune yechitatu.
9 So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
Naizvozvo akavaka temberi, uye akaipedza, akaturika denga ramatanda namapuranga emisidhari.
10 He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
Uye akavaka dzimba pamadziro etemberi yose. Imwe neimwe yakanga yakareba makubhiti mashanu, uye dzakanga dzakabatanidzwa netemberi namatanda emisidhari.
11 The LORD’s word came to Solomon, saying,
Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Soromoni richiti,
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 I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
“Pane zvetemberi iyi yauri kuvaka, kana ukatevera mitemo yangu, ukaita zvandakatema, uye ukachengeta mirayiro yangu yose nokuiteerera, ipapo ndichazadzisa chivimbiso changu newe, chandakavimbisa baba vako Dhavhidhi.
13 I will dwell amongst the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
Uye ndichagara pakati pavaIsraeri, uye handizorasi vanhu vangu vaIsraeri.”
14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.
Saka Soromoni akavaka temberi akaipedza.
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. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
Akaisa mapuranga emisidhari pamadziro etemberi nomukati, akaaroverera kubvira pasi kusvikira kumusoro, uye pasi pose pakanga pane mapuranga emusipuresi.
16 He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
Akakamura necheshure kwetemberi chimwe chikamu chakanga chakareba makubhiti makumi maviri, namapuranga emusidhari kubva pasi kusvika kumusoro kuti chive nzvimbo tsvene yomukati metemberi, Nzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene.
17 In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
Imba huru yakanga iri pamberi peimba iyi yakanga yakareba makubhiti makumi mana.
18 There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
Mukati metemberi makaitwa nemisidhari yakavezwa mifananidzo yemikombe namaruva akazaruka. Zvose zvaiva misidhari chete, hapana dombo raionekwa.
19 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of the LORD’s covenant there.
Akagadzira nzvimbo tsvene yomukati, mukatikati metemberi, kuti agogadzikapo areka yesungano yaJehovha.
20 Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
Mukati menzvimbo tsvene yomukati makanga makareba makubhiti makumi maviri, uye upamhi hwayo makubhiti makumi maviri, uye makareba makubhiti makumi maviri pakukwirira kwamo mudenga. Akafukidza mukati mose negoridhe rakaisvonaka, uye akafukidzawo aritari namapuranga omusidhari.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
Soromoni akafukidza mukati metemberi yose negoridhe rakaisvonaka, uye akaisa ngetani dzegoridhe dzakachinjika pamberi penzvimbo tsvene yomukati, iyo yakanga yakafukidzwa mukati mose negoridhe.
22 He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
Saka akafukidza mukati mose negoridhe. Akafukidzawo aritari yenzvimbo tsvene yomukati negoridhe.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
Akaita makerubhi maviri omuti womuorivhi, rimwe nerimwe rakareba makubhiti gumi, munzvimbo tsvene yomukati.
24 Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
Bapiro rimwe chete rekerubhi rokutanga rakanga rakareba makubhiti mashanu, uye rimwe bapiro rakanga rakareba makubhiti mashanu, makubhiti gumi kubva pamuromo perimwe bapiro kusvika pamuromo perimwe bapiro.
25 The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
Kerubhi rechipiri rakanga rakarebawo makubhiti gumi, nokuti makerubhi maviri aya akanga akafanana pakukura namaumbirwo.
26 One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.
Kerubhi rimwe nerimwe rakanga rakareba makubhiti gumi.
27 He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, 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.
Akaisa makerubhi munzvimbo yomukatikati metemberi, mapapiro amakerubhi akatambanudzwa. Bapiro rerimwe kerubhi raiguma mamwe madziro, bapiro rerimwe richiguma mamwe madziro uye mamwe mapapiro awo aigumana pakati peimba.
28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Akafukidza makerubhi negoridhe.
29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
Akaveza mifananidzo yamakerubhi, yemiti yemichindwe neyamaruva akazaruka, pamadziro ose akatenderedza mudzimba dzomukati nedzimba dzokunze.
30 He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
Akafukidzawo pasi pedzimba dzomukati nedzimba dzokunze dzetemberi negoridhe.
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.
Akagadzirira musuo wenzvimbo tsvene yomukati makonhi omuti womuorivhi; chivivo chapamusoro namagwatidziro zvaiva namativi mashanu.
32 So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
Pamakonhi maviri aya omuti womuorivhi akaveza mifananidzo yamakerubhi, yemiti yemichindwe neyamaruva akazaruka, akafukidza makerubhi nemiti yemichindwe negoridhe rakarohwa.
33 He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
Nenzira imwe cheteyo akagadzirirawo musuo weimba huru chivivo namagwatidziro zvomuti womuorivhi zvakanga zvine mativi mana.
34 and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
Akaitawo makonhi maviri omuti womusipuresi, mapenga maviri egonhi rimwe aigona kupetwa, uye mapenga maviri erimwe gonhi aigona kupetwa.
35 He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
Akaveza makerubhi, miti yemichindwe namaruva akazaruka paari, akazvifukidza negoridhe rakarohwa zvakaenzanirana pamusoro pezvakavezwa.
36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
Uye akavaka chivanze chomukati chine hwaro hutatu hwamatombo akavezwa, nehwaro humwe chete hwamatanda omusidhari.
37 The foundation of the LORD’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.
Hwaro hwetemberi yaJehovha hwakavakwa mugore rechina, mumwedzi waZivhi.
38 In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
Mugore regumi nerimwe mumwedzi waBhuri, mwedzi worusere, temberi yakapera kuvakwa yose sezvayakanga yakafanira kuitwa. Akapedza makore manomwe achiivaka.
