2 Chronicles 3
1 And Solomon beginneth to build the house of Jehovah, in Jerusalem, in the mount of Moriah, where He appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared, 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 beginneth to build in the second [day], in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
Waseqalisa ukwakha ngenyanga yesibili ngolwesibili ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe.
3 And [in] these hath Solomon been instructed to build the house of God: The length [in] cubits by the former measure [is] sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
Lalezi yizisekelo zikaSolomoni zokwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu. Ubude ngezingalo ngesilinganiso esidala babuzingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili.
4 As to the porch that [is] on the front, the length [is] by the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty, and he overlayeth 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 large house he hath covered with fir-trees, and he doth cover it with good gold, and causeth to ascend on it palms and chains,
Lendlu enkulu wayembesa ngezigodo zefiri, wayihuqa ngegolide elihle, wamisa phezu kwayo amalala lamaketane.
6 and he overlayeth the house with precious stone for beauty, and the gold [is] gold of Parvaim,
Wayembesela ubuhle indlu ngamatshe aligugu; njalo igolide laliligolide leParivayimi.
7 and he covereth the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and hath graved cherubs on the walls.
Waseyihuqa indlu, imijabo, imigubazi, lemiduli yayo, leminyango yayo ngegolide, wabaza ngokugubha amakherubhi emidulwini.
8 And he maketh the most holy house: its length [is] by the front of the breadth of the house twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and he covereth it with good gold, 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 [is] fifty shekels of gold, and the upper chambers he hath covered with gold.
Lesisindo sezipikili saze saba ngamashekeli egolide angamatshumi amahlanu. Wawahuqa amakamelo aphezulu ngegolide.
10 And he maketh in the most holy house two cherubs, image work, and he overlayeth them with gold;
Wasesenza endlini yengcwele yezingcwele amakherubhi amabili ngomsebenzi obaziweyo, wawahuqa ngegolide.
11 as to the wings of the cherubs, their length [is] twenty cubits, the wing of the one [is] five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, touching 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 [is] five cubits touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, adhering 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 cherubs are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces [are] inward.
Impiko zalamakherubhi zeluleka ingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; njalo ema ngenyawo zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangele ngasendlini.
14 And he maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and causeth cherubs to go up on it.
Wasesenza iveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, wabeka kulo amakherubhi.
15 And he maketh at the front of the house two pillars, thirty and five cubits in length, and the ornament that [is] on their heads five cubits.
Wasesenza phambi kwendlu insika ezimbili, ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu, lesiduku phezu kwengqonga yayo buzingalo ezinhlanu.
16 And he maketh chains in the oracle, and putteth on the heads of the pillars, and maketh a hundred pomegranates, and putteth on the chains.
Wasesenza amaketane njengendaweni yelizwi, wawafaka esihlokweni sezinsika; wenza lamapomegranati alikhulu, wawafaka emaketaneni.
17 And he raiseth up the pillars on the front of the temple, one on the right, and one on the left, and calleth the name of that on the right 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.
