1 Athamaki 7

1 No rĩrĩ, Solomoni aambĩrĩria gwaka nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki-rĩ, aaniinire mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtatũ kũrĩĩkia kũmĩaka.

Solomon took thirteen years to build his own palace.

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.

He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

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.

The house was roofed with cedar that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.

4 Ndirica ciayo ciekĩrĩtwo igũrũ, igagĩĩkĩrwo ithatũ ithatũ, ingʼethanĩire.

There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.

5 Mĩrango yothe yarĩ na buremu cia mĩena ĩna; yekĩrĩtwo mwena wa na mbere ĩtatũ ĩtatũ, ĩngʼethanĩire.

All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.

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.

There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.

7 Nĩaakire nyũmba ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na Nyũmba ya Gũciirĩra, kũrĩa aatuithanagĩria ciira. Nake akĩmĩĩkĩra mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa kuuma thĩ nginya igũrũ.

Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

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.

Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.

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.

These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.

10 Mĩthingi yaakĩtwo na mahiga manene ma mũthemba mwega, mamwe ma mĩkono ikũmi, na mamwe ma mĩkono ĩnana.

The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.

11 Igũrũ gwakĩtwo na mahiga marĩa mega mũno matinĩtio na gĩthimo, na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.

Above were costly hewn stones precisely cut to size, 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 great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.

13 Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩatũmanire Turo nĩgeetha areherwo Huramu,

King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from Tyre.

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.

Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.

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.

Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.

16 Ningĩ nĩathondekire ciongo cia gĩcango gĩtwekie cia kũigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa itugĩ icio, o kĩongo kĩmwe kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtano.

He made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.

17 Irengeeri igathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo igĩcuurio nĩguo igemie ciongo cia itugĩ icio, irengeeri mũgwanja igekĩrwo kĩongo-inĩ kĩmwe.

Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.

18 Nĩathondekire makomamanga mĩhari ĩĩrĩ ĩkĩrigiicĩria irengeeri icio ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo cia kũgemia ciongo iria ciarĩ igũrũ rĩa itugĩ. O kĩongo agĩgĩĩka o ũguo.

So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.

19 Ciongo iria ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ cia gĩthaku ciathondeketwo na mũhianĩre wa mahũa ma itoka, na ciarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩna.

The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.

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.

The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.

21 Nĩahaandire itugĩ icio gĩthaku-inĩ kĩa hekarũ. Gĩtugĩ kĩa mwena wa gũthini agĩgĩĩta Jakini, nakĩo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini agĩgĩĩta Boazu.

He raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left 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.

On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.

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 made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.

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.

Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.

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.

“The Sea” 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. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.

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 sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths 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 made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.

28 Makaari macio maakĩtwo ta ũũ: maarĩ na icunjĩ cia mĩena inyiitithanĩtio na buremu.

The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between 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.

and on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.

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.

Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one.

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.

The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.

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 four wheels were underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

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 were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.

34 O gĩkaari nĩ kĩarĩ na nyiitĩro inya, o koine-inĩ nyiitĩro ĩmwe, icomokete kuuma gĩkaari-inĩ. nĩgũkorwo

There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.

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.

In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.

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.

On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.

37 Ũguo nĩguo aathondekire makaari macio ikũmi. Mothe maatwekeirio handũ hamwe, na makahaanana biũ na makaiganana.

He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and 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 made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of ten stands.

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.

He made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south of the temple.

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 made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:

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, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top 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);

He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);

43 na makaari ikũmi na iraĩ ciamo ikũmi;

the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.

44 na Karia na mĩhiano ya ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ rungu rwako;

He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its twelve oxen under it;

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.

also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.

46 Mũthamaki aatwekithagĩria indo icio kũrĩa gwathondekagĩrwo indo cia rĩũmba kũu werũ-inĩ wa Jorodani gatagatĩ ga Sukothu na Zarethani.

The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Solomoni ndaathimire indo icio tondũ ciarĩ nyingĩ mũno; ũritũ wa gĩcango ndwamenyekanire ũrĩa waiganaga.

Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze could not be measured.

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 had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;

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 lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of gold.

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.

Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

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.

In this way, all the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
