< 2 Chronicles 3 >
1 And Salomon bigan to bilde the hows of the Lord in Jerusalem, in the hil of Moria, that was schewid to Dauid, his fadir, in the place which Dauid hadde maad redi in the corn floor of Ornam Jebusei.
Kisha Selemani akaanza kuijenga nyumba ya Yahwe katika Yerusalemu juu ya Mlima Moria, ambako Yahwe alimtokea Daudi baba yake. Aliandaa sehemu ambayo Daudi aliikusudia, katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Arauna Myebusi.
2 Forsothe he bigan to bilde in the secounde monethe, in the fourthe yeer of his rewme.
Alianza kujenga siku ya pili ya mwezi wa pili, katika mwaka wa nne wa utawala wake.
3 And these weren the foundementis, whiche Salomon settide, that he schulde bilde the hous of God; sixti cubitis of lengthe in the firste mesure, twenti cubitis of breede.
Sasa hivi ndinyo vipimo vya ule msingi ambao Selemani alijenga kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Mungu. Akitumia mtindo wa vipimo vya zamani, urefu ulikuwa mikono sitini, na upana ulikuwa mikono ishirini.
4 Forsothe he bildide a porche bifor the frount, that was stretchid forth along bisidis the mesure of the breede of the hows, of twenti cubitis, sotheli the hiynesse was of an hundrid and twenti cubitis; and he ouergilde it with inne with clennest gold.
Urefu wa ukumbi mbele ya nyumba ulikuwa mikono ishirini, ukilingana na upana wa nyumba, urefu wake kwenda juu pia ulikuwa mikono ishirini, na Selemani akaifunika sehemu ya ndani kwa dhahabu halisi.
5 Also he hilide the gretter hows with tablis of beech, and he fastnede platis of gold of beste colour al aboute; and he grauyde therynne palmtrees, and as smale chaynes biclipynge hem silf togidere.
Akailitengeneza paa la ukumbi mkuu kwa miti ya miberoshi, ambayo aliifunika kwa dhahabu halisi, na ambayo aliifunika kwa miti ya mitende na minyororo.
6 And he arayede the pawment of the temple with most preciouse marble, in myche fairenesse.
Akaipamba nyumba kwa vito vya thamani; dhahabu ilikuwa dhahabu kutoka Parvaimu.
7 Forsothe the gold was moost preued, of whose platis he hilide the hows, and the beemys therof, and the postis, and the wallis, and the doris; and he grauyde cherubyns in the wallis.
Pia akazifunika boriti zake, vizingiti, kuta, na milango kwa dhahabu; akachonga makerubi juu ya kuta zake.
8 Also he made an hows to the holi of holi thingis, in lengthe bi the breede of the hows, of twenti cubitis, and the breed also of twenti cubitis; and he hilide it with goldun platis, as with sixe hundrid talentis.
Akaijenga sehemu ya patakatifu pa patakatifu. Urefu wake ulilingana na upana wa nyumba, mikono ishirini, na upana wake pia ulikuwa mikono ishirini. Aliifunika kwa dhahabu halisi, thamani yake ilikuwa talanta mia sita.
9 But also he made goldun nailis, so that ech nail peiside fifti siclis; and he hilide the solers with gold.
Uzito wa misumari ulikuwa shekeli hamsini za dhahabu. Alizifunika sehemu za juu kwa dhahabu.
10 Also he made in the hows of the hooli of hooli thingis twei cherubyns bi the werk of an ymage makere, and hilide hem with gold.
Akachonga makerubi wawili kwa ajili ya sehemu za patakatifu pa patakatifu, wahunzi wakayafunika kwa dhahabu. (Maandishi ya kale yanasema: makerubi wawili waliochongwa kwenye mbao).
11 The wyngis of cherubyns weren holdun forth bi twenti cubitis, so that o wynge hadde fyue cubitis, and touchide the wal of the hows; and the tother wynge hadde fyue cubitis, and touchide the wynge of the tother cherub.
Mabawa ya makerubi yalikuwa na urefu wa mikono ishirini yote kwa pamoja; bawa la kerubi mmoja lilikuwa na urefu wa mikono mitano, lilifikia kwenye ukuta wa chumba; bawa jingine lilikuwa na urefu wa mikono mitano pia.
12 In lijk maner the wynge of the tother cherub hadde fyue cubitis, and touchide the wal, and the tother wynge therof of fyue cubitis touchide the wynge of the tothir cherub.
Bawa la kerubi mwingine lilikuwa mikono mitano, likifikia kwenye ukuta wa chumba; bawa lake jingine lilikuwa mikono mitano pia, likigusana na bawa la kerubi wa kwanza.
13 Therfor the wyngis of euer eithir cherub weren spred abrood, and weren holdun forth bi twenti cubitis; sotheli thilke cherubyns stoden on the feet reisid, and her faces weren turned to the outermere hows.
Mabawa ya makerubi hawa yalienea jumla ya mikono mitano. Makerubi yalisimama kwa miguu yake, na nyuso zake zikiuelekea ukumbi mkuu.
14 Also he made a veil of iacynct and purpur, of reed seelk and bijs; and weuyde cherubyns therynne.
Akatengeneza pazia la samawati, dhambarau, na sufu nyekundu, na kitani safi, na akachora makerubi juu yake.
15 Also bifor the yate of the temple he made twei pilers, that hadden fyue and thretti cubitis of heiythe; forsothe the heedis of tho weren of fyue cubitis.
Selemani pia akatengeneza nguzo mbili, kila moja ikiwa na urefu wa mikono thelathini na tano kwenda juu, kwa maana mbele ya nyumba; taji ambazo zilikuwa juu ya nguzo zilikuwa na urefu wa mikono mitano kwenda juu.
16 Also he made and as litle chaynes in Goddis answeryng place, and puttide tho on the heedis of the pilers; also he made an hundrid pumgarnadis, whiche he settide bitwixe the litle chaynes.
Akatengeneza minyororo kwa ajili ya nguzo na akaiweka juu yake, pia akatengeneza maakomamanga mia moja na akayaunganisha kwenye minyororo.
17 And he settide tho pilers in the porche of the temple, oon at the riytside, and the tother at the leftside; he clepide that that was at the riytside Jachym, and that that was at the leftside he clepide Booz.
Akazisimamisha nguzo mbele ya hekalu, mkono wa kulia, na nyingine mkono wa kushoto; akaiita nguzo ya kulia Yakini, na nguzo ya kushoto akaiita Boazi.
