4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.
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.

6 He also made ten basins, and put five on the right hand and five on the left, to wash in them. The things that belonged to the burnt offering were washed in them, but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
Wasesenza inditshi zokugezela ezilitshumi, wabeka ezinhlanu ngakwesokunene, lezinhlanu ngakwesokhohlo, ukugezisela kizo; babegezisela kizo okomnikelo wokutshiswa; kodwa ulwandle lwalungolwabapristi ukugezela kulo.

Wasesenza izinti zezibane zegolide ezilitshumi njengokumiswa kwazo, wazibeka ethempelini, ezinhlanu ngakwesokunene, lezinhlanu ngakwesokhohlo.
8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold.
Wenza lamatafula alitshumi, wawabeka ethempelini, amahlanu ngakwesokunene, lamahlanu ngakwesokhohlo. Wenza lemiganu elikhulu yegolide.
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.
Wenza leguma labapristi leguma elikhulu, lezivalo zeguma, wazihuqa izivalo zalo ngethusi.

Wasebeka ulwandle ehlangothini lokunene ngasempumalanga maqondana leningizimu.
11 Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished doing the work that he did for King Solomon in God’s house:

12 the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,
Insika ezimbili, lemiganu, leziduku phezu kwengqonga yezinsika ezimbili, lamambule amabili okwembesa imiganu emibili yeziduku ezaziphezu kwengqonga yezinsika,
13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks—two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.
lamapomegranati angamakhulu amane emambuleni womabili, imizila emibili yamapomegranati kulelo lalelombule, okwembesa imiganu emibili yeziduku ezaziphezu kwengqonga yezinsika.
14 He also made the bases, and he made the basins on the bases—

15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
ulwandle olulodwa, lezinkabi ezilitshumi lambili ngaphansi kwalo.
16 Huram-abi also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for King Solomon, for the LORD’s house, of bright bronze.
Lezimbiza, lamafotsholo, lamafologwe, lazo zonke izitsha zakho uHuramu Abhi wazenzela inkosi uSolomoni esenzela indlu yeNkosi ngethusi elikhazimulayo.
17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
Inkosi yazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa emagcekeni eJordani emhlabathini olibumba phakathi kweSukothi leZeredatha.
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, so that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
USolomoni wasezenza zonke lezizitsha ngobunengi obukhulu, ngoba isisindo sethusi sasingehlolwe.
19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in God’s house: the golden altar, the tables with the show bread on them,
USolomoni wazenza-ke zonke izitsha ezazingezendlu kaNkulunkulu, lelathi legolide, lamatafula okwakukhona kuwo izinkwa zokubukiswa,
20 and the lamp stands with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
lezinti zezibane lezibane zazo ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ukuthi zibhebhe ngokwesimiso phambi kwendawo yelizwi;
21 and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold that was purest gold;
lamaluba lezibane lezindlawu, ngegolide, kwakuligolide elipheleleyo;
22 and the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans of pure gold. As for the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
lezindlawu, lemiganu yokufafaza, lezinkezo, lezitsha zokuthwala umlilo, ngegolide elicwengekileyo; njalo iminyango yendlu, izivalo zayo ezingaphakathi, ezengcwele yezingcwele, lezivalo zendlu yethempeli zazingezegolide.
