1 Athamaki 7
1 No rĩrĩ, Solomoni aambĩrĩria gwaka nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki-rĩ, aaniinire mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtatũ kũrĩĩkia kũmĩaka.
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 Nĩaakire nyũmba ĩngĩ ya ũthamaki yetagwo Nyũmba ya Ũthamaki ya Mũtitũ wa Lebanoni, na yarĩ ya mĩkono igana kũraiha, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano kwarama, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ kũraiha na igũrũ. Ningĩ yarĩ na mĩhari ĩna ya itugĩ cia mĩtarakwa iria cianyiitĩrĩire mĩgamba ya mĩtarakwa.
One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
3 Nyũmba ĩyo yagitirwo na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa iria ciarĩ igũrũ wa mĩgamba ĩrĩa yaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ wa itugĩ, mĩgamba yothe yarĩ mĩrongo ĩna na ĩtano, o mũhari warĩ na mĩgamba ikũmi na ĩtano.
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 Ndirica ciayo ciekĩrĩtwo igũrũ, igagĩĩkĩrwo ithatũ ithatũ, ingʼethanĩire.
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 Mĩrango yothe yarĩ na buremu cia mĩena ĩna; yekĩrĩtwo mwena wa na mbere ĩtatũ ĩtatũ, ĩngʼethanĩire.
All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
6 Nĩathondekire gĩthaku kĩa mũhari wa itugĩ, kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ. Mbere yakĩo haarĩ na gĩthaku kĩngĩ, na mbere ya gĩthaku kĩu gĩa keerĩ haarĩ na itugĩ, na hakagitwo igũrũ.
They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
7 Nĩaakire nyũmba ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na Nyũmba ya Gũciirĩra, kũrĩa aatuithanagĩria ciira. Nake akĩmĩĩkĩra mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa kuuma thĩ nginya igũrũ.
Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
8 Nayo nyũmba yake ya gũikara ya ũthamaki, yaakĩtwo mwena wa na thuutha, na yaakĩtwo o ta ĩyo ĩngĩ. Ningĩ Solomoni nĩaakire nyũmba ĩngĩ ta ĩyo ya ũthamaki, akĩmĩakĩra mwarĩ wa Firaũni ũrĩa aahikĩtie.
In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
9 Mĩako ĩyo yothe, kuuma mwena wa nja nginya nja ĩrĩa nene, na kuuma mũthingi nginya rwembeya-inĩ, yaakĩtwo na mahiga marĩa mega mũno matinĩtio na gĩthimo, na makarengererwo na mũthumeno mwena wa na thĩinĩ na wa na nja.
All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
10 Mĩthingi yaakĩtwo na mahiga manene ma mũthemba mwega, mamwe ma mĩkono ikũmi, na mamwe ma mĩkono ĩnana.
The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
11 Igũrũ gwakĩtwo na mahiga marĩa mega mũno matinĩtio na gĩthimo, na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 Nayo nja ĩrĩa nene yathiũrũrũkĩirio na rũthingo rwa mĩhari ĩtatũ ya mahiga maicũhie, na mũhari ũmwe wa mĩgamba mĩrengerere ya mĩtarakwa, o ta ũrĩa nja ya hekarũ ya Jehova yatariĩ, na gĩthaku kĩayo.
The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
13 Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩatũmanire Turo nĩgeetha areherwo Huramu,
There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
14 ũrĩa nyina aarĩ mũtumia wa ndigwa wa mũhĩrĩga wa Nafitali, nake ithe aarĩ wa Turo, nake aarĩ mũturi wa icango. Nake Huramu aarĩ mũũgĩ mũno, na akamenya maũndũ mothe ma ũthondeki wa indo cia gĩcango. Nĩookire kũrĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni, na akĩruta mawĩra mothe marĩa aaheirwo.
15 Nĩathondekire itugĩ igĩrĩ cia gĩcango, o kĩmwe kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩnana, na rũrigi rũrĩa rũngĩathiũrũrũkĩirie gĩtugĩ kĩmwe rwarĩ rwa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16 Ningĩ nĩathondekire ciongo cia gĩcango gĩtwekie cia kũigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa itugĩ icio, o kĩongo kĩmwe kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtano.
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 Irengeeri igathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo igĩcuurio nĩguo igemie ciongo cia itugĩ icio, irengeeri mũgwanja igekĩrwo kĩongo-inĩ kĩmwe.
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 Nĩathondekire makomamanga mĩhari ĩĩrĩ ĩkĩrigiicĩria irengeeri icio ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo cia kũgemia ciongo iria ciarĩ igũrũ rĩa itugĩ. O kĩongo agĩgĩĩka o ũguo.
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 Ciongo iria ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ cia gĩthaku ciathondeketwo na mũhianĩre wa mahũa ma itoka, na ciarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩna.
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 Ciongo cia itugĩ icio cierĩ, igũrũ rĩa harĩa hahaanaga ta mbakũri harĩa haariganĩtie na irengeeri iria ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo, haarĩ na makomamanga magana meerĩ mekĩrĩtwo mĩhari mĩhari magathiũrũrũkĩria ciongo icio.
These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
21 Nĩahaandire itugĩ icio gĩthaku-inĩ kĩa hekarũ. Gĩtugĩ kĩa mwena wa gũthini agĩgĩĩta Jakini, nakĩo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini agĩgĩĩta Boazu.
His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
22 Ciongo iria ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ icio ciathondeketwo na mũhianĩre wa mahũa ma itoka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wĩra wa itugĩ ũkĩrĩka.
The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
23 Ningĩ agĩaka itangi rĩa gĩthiũrũrĩ rĩa kĩgera gĩtwekie inene mũno rĩrĩa rĩetagwo Karia, rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ikũmi kuuma mwena ũmwe wa rũtiriho nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ, na mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha na igũrũ. Itangi rĩu rĩathimwo na rũrigi gĩthiũrũrĩ kĩarĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
24 Mũhuro wa rũtiriho nĩrĩathiũrũrũkĩirio na magemio maahaanaine na tũbũũthũ, o mũkono ũmwe tũbũũthũ ikũmi. Tũbũũthũ tũu twaigĩtwo mĩhari ĩĩrĩ tũgĩtwekanĩrio na Karia kau, tũgĩtuĩka kĩndũ kĩmwe nako.
Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
25 Nako Karia kau kaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ rĩa mĩhiano ya ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ; ithatũ ciacio ciarorete mwena wa gathigathini, na ithatũ ikarora mwena wa ithũĩro, na ithatũ ikarora mwena wa gũthini, na ithatũ ikarora mwena wa irathĩro. Karia kau kaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ rĩacio, nacio ciĩga cia na thuutha cia ndegwa icio nĩcio ciarorete na kũu thĩinĩ.
Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
26 Ũtungu wa Karia kau waiganaine na wariĩ wa rũhĩ. Rũtiriho rwako rwatariĩ ta rũtiriho rwa gĩkombe, kana ta gĩtoka gĩcanũku. Karia kau kaiganagĩra maaĩ mbathi ngiri igĩrĩ.
The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
27 Ningĩ agĩaka makaari ikũmi ma gĩcango mangĩaguucirio; o gĩkaari kĩmwe kĩarĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩna, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩna, na ũraihu wa na igũrũ wa mĩkono ĩtatũ.
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 Makaari macio maakĩtwo ta ũũ: maarĩ na icunjĩ cia mĩena inyiitithanĩtio na buremu.
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 Icunjĩ iria ciarĩ gatagatĩ ka buremu, o na buremu cio nyene, ciarĩ na mĩhiano ya mĩrũũthi, na ya ndegwa, na ya makerubi. Mwena wa igũrũ na wa mũhuro wa mĩhiano ya mĩrũũthi na ya ndegwa nĩ gwekĩrĩtwo magemio ma mahũa mature.
On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
30 O gĩkaari kĩarĩ na magũrũ mana ma gĩcango, maarĩ na igera cia gĩcango cia kũgathĩkania kũgũrũ na kũgũrũ kũrĩa kũngĩ, na o kĩmwe kĩarĩ na kĩraĩ kĩanyiitĩrĩirwo nĩ itugĩ inya iria ciatwekanĩirio na mahũa mature mwena o mwena.
Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
31 Mwena wa thĩinĩ wa gĩkaari kĩu kwarĩ na mũromo warĩ na buremu ya gĩthiũrũrĩ ya mũkono ũmwe kũrika. Mũromo ũcio warĩ wa gĩthiũrũrĩ, na hamwe na njikarĩro yaguo yarĩ ya mũkono ũmwe na nuthu. Gũthiũrũrũkĩria mũromo wakĩo nĩ ha kururĩtwo magemio. Icunjĩ cia mĩena ya gĩkaari kĩu nĩciaiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna, na itiarĩ cia gĩthiũrũrĩ.
On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
32 Magũrũ macio mana meekĩrĩtwo rungu rwa icunjĩ cia mĩena, nacio igera cia kũgathĩkania magũrũ cianyiitithanĩtio na gĩkaari kĩu. Naguo wariĩ wa o kũgũrũ warĩ wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu.
The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
33 Magũrũ macio maathondeketwo ta magũrũ ma ngaari ya ita, nacio igera cia kũgathĩkania kũgũrũ na kũgũrũ kũrĩa kũngĩ, na mĩbara, na mĩrĩnga ya kũgũrũ, na tũgera twa gĩthiũrũrĩ tũrĩa tũkoragwo gatagatĩ ga kũgũrũ, ciothe ciathondeketwo na kĩgera gĩtwekie.
The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
34 O gĩkaari nĩ kĩarĩ na nyiitĩro inya, o koine-inĩ nyiitĩro ĩmwe, icomokete kuuma gĩkaari-inĩ. nĩgũkorwo
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 Mwena wa na igũrũ wa gĩkaari kĩu wathiũrũrũkĩirio na mũcibi wa wariĩ wa nuthu ya mũkono kũrika. Itugĩ na icunjĩ cia mĩena nĩcianyiitithanĩtio na mwena wa na igũrũ wa gĩkaari kĩu.
There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
36 Nake Huramu agĩkurura mĩhiano ya makerubi, na ya mĩrũũthi, na ya mĩtĩ ya mĩkĩndũ mĩena-inĩ ya itugĩ, na icunjĩ-inĩ cia mĩena harĩa hothe hangĩonekire, na hagathiũrũrũkĩrio na mahũa mĩena yothe.
The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
37 Ũguo nĩguo aathondekire makaari macio ikũmi. Mothe maatwekeirio handũ hamwe, na makahaanana biũ na makaiganana.
That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
38 Ningĩ nĩathondekire iraĩ ikũmi cia gĩcango, o kĩmwe kĩaiganagĩra maaĩ mbathi mĩrongo ĩna, na kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩna kwarama, o kĩraĩ kĩmwe gĩkaigĩrĩrwo gĩkaari-inĩ kĩmwe gĩa icio ikũmi.
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 Nĩaigire ikaari ithano ciacio mwena wa gũthini wa hekarũ, na ikaari ithano mwena wa gathigathini. Nĩaigĩrĩire Karia mwena wa gũthini, agĩkaiga koine-inĩ ya gũthini ya mwena wa irathĩro wa hekarũ.
Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
40 Ningĩ Huramu nĩathondekire iraĩ, na icakũri, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Huramu akĩrĩkia wĩra wothe ũrĩa aaheetwo arute nĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova:
Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
41 itugĩ icio igĩrĩ; na ciongo icio igĩrĩ ciahaanaga ta mbakũri irĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ icio; na irengeeri iria igĩrĩ ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo iria ciagemetie ciongo icio ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ;
the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
42 na makomamanga 400 ma irengeeri iria igĩrĩ ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo (mĩhari ĩĩrĩ ya makomamanga o harĩ kĩrengeeri kĩmwe ĩkagemia ciongo icio ciahanaga ta mbakũri iria ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ);
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 na makaari ikũmi na iraĩ ciamo ikũmi;
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 na Karia na mĩhiano ya ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ rungu rwako;
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 o na nyũngũ, na icakũri, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria. Indo icio ciothe Huramu aathondekeire Mũthamaki Solomoni cia hekarũ ya Jehova ciarĩ cia gĩcango gĩkumuthe gĩkahenia.
the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
46 Mũthamaki aatwekithagĩria indo icio kũrĩa gwathondekagĩrwo indo cia rĩũmba kũu werũ-inĩ wa Jorodani gatagatĩ ga Sukothu na Zarethani.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomoni ndaathimire indo icio tondũ ciarĩ nyingĩ mũno; ũritũ wa gĩcango ndwamenyekanire ũrĩa waiganaga.
Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
48 Ningĩ Solomoni nĩathondekithirie indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova: Aathondekire kĩgongona gĩa thahabu; na metha ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩra mĩgate ĩrĩa yaigagwo mbere ya Jehova;
Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
49 na mĩtĩ ya kũigĩrĩrwo matawa ya thahabu therie (ĩtano ĩkaigwo mwena wa ũrĩo, na ĩtano ĩkaigwo mwena wa ũmotho, mwena wa mbere wa nyũmba ya na thĩinĩ); na wĩra wa magemio wa mahũa ma thahabu, na matawa, na mĩĩhato;
the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
50 na iraĩ cia thahabu therie, na magathĩ ma kũrenga ndaambĩ, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria, na thaani, na ngĩo cia mwaki; na icũhĩ cia thahabu cia mĩrango ya kanyũmba karĩa kaarĩ thĩinĩ mũno, Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, o na icũhĩ cia thahabu cia mĩrango ya nyũmba ĩrĩa nene ya hekarũ.
the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
51 Rĩrĩa wĩra wothe ũrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aarutaga wa gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova wathirire-rĩ, akĩrehithia indo iria ithe Daudi aamũrĩte, nĩcio betha, na thahabu, na indo cia nyũmba, agĩciiga harĩa haigagwo igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
