1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Solomoni akĩambĩrĩria gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Moria, harĩa Jehova oimĩrĩire ithe Daudi. Hau nĩho kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna ũrĩa Mũjebusi, handũ harĩa Daudi aaheanĩte hekarũ ĩgaakwo.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord, in Jerusalem on mount Moriah, as it had been shown to David his father, at the place which David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Aambĩrĩirie gwaka mũthenya wa ĩĩrĩ wa mweri wa keerĩ, mwaka wa ĩna wa ũthamaki wake.
Now he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Mũthingi ũrĩa Solomoni eenjire nĩ ũndũ wa gwaka hekarũ ya Ngai warĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kwarama, gũgĩtũmĩrwo mĩkono ya gĩthimo gĩa tene.
And these are the foundations, which Solomon set forth so that he might build the house of God: the length in cubits by the first measure sixty, the width in cubits twenty.
4 Nakĩo gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau mbere ya hekarũ kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũraiha, gĩkĩranĩtie wariĩ wa nyũmba ĩyo, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ. Mwena wa thĩinĩ wakĩo akĩũgemia na thahabu ĩrĩa therie.
Truly, at the front, the portico, which was extended in length according to the measure of the width of the house, was of twenty cubits. Then the height was of one hundred twenty cubits. And he overlaid it on the interior with the purest gold.
5 Akĩhũũrĩra nyũmba ĩrĩa nene mbaũ cia mĩthengera na agĩcihumbĩra na thahabu ĩrĩa njega mũno, na akĩmĩgemia na mĩcoro ya mĩkĩndũ na mĩcoro ya irengeeri.
Also, he covered the greater house with wooden panels of spruce, and he affixed layers of refined gold through it all. And he engraved in them palm trees, and the likeness of little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Aagemirie hekarũ na tũhiga twa goro. Nayo thahabu ĩrĩa aahũthĩrire yarĩ thahabu ya Paravaimu.
Also, he paved the floor of the temple with the most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Nacio mbaũ cia mĩratho, na buremu cia mĩrango, na thingo, na mĩrango ya hekarũ, agĩcigemia na thahabu, na agĩkururithia mĩhiano ya makerubi thingo-inĩ.
Now the gold, with which he covered in layers the house and its beams and posts and walls and doors, was highly refined. And he engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Ningĩ Solomoni agĩaka Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, ũraihu waho waringaine na wariĩ wa hekarũ, mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kwarama. Akĩgemia thĩinĩ waho na taranda 600 cia thahabu ĩrĩa njega mũno.
Also, he made the house of the Holy of Holies. Its length, in accord with the width of the temple, was of twenty cubits. And its width, similarly, was of twenty cubits. And he covered it with layers of gold, of about six hundred talents.
9 Ũritũ wa mĩcumarĩ ya thahabu warĩ wa cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano. Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩgemia mĩena ya na igũrũ ya hau Hatheru-Mũno na thahabu.
Then he also made nails of gold, such that each nail weighed fifty shekels. Also, he covered the upper rooms in gold.
10 Thĩinĩ wa Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno nĩakururithirie makerubi meerĩ na akĩmagemia na thahabu.
Now he also made, in the house of the Holy of Holies, two cherubim as a work of statues. And he covered them with gold.
11 Ũraihu wa mathagu ma makerubi wothe warĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Ithagu rĩmwe rĩa ikerubi rĩa mbere rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha na rĩkahutia rũthingo rwa hekarũ, narĩo ithagu rĩu rĩngĩ o narĩo rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha na rĩkahutia ithagu rĩa ikerubi rĩu rĩngĩ.
The wings of the cherubim extended for twenty cubits, such that one wing had five cubits and it touched the wall of the house, and the other, having five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 O narĩo ithagu rĩmwe rĩa ikerubi rĩa keerĩ rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtano na rĩkahutia rũthingo rũu rũngĩ rwa hekarũ, na ithagu rĩu rĩngĩ rĩarĩo o narĩo rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtano na rĩkahutia ithagu rĩa ikerubi rĩa mbere.
Similarly, the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, and it touched the wall, and his other wing of five cubits also touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Mathagu ma makerubi maya maarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Maicũhĩtio marũgamĩte na magũrũ, na mangʼetheire nyũmba nene.
And so the wings of both cherubim were stretched out and extended for twenty cubits. Now they were standing upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the exterior house.
14 Solomoni nĩathondekire gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ na gĩa gatani ĩrĩa njega, na mĩhiano ya makerubi nĩyatumĩrĩirwo gĩtambaya-inĩ kĩu.
Also, he made a veil from hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. And he wove within it cherubim.
15 Mwena wa mbere wa hekarũ agĩaka itugĩ igĩrĩ, na cierĩ ciarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano; o gĩtugĩ kĩarĩ na kĩongo igũrũ rĩakĩo kĩa mũigana wa mĩkono ĩtano.
And also, before the doors of the temple, there were two pillars, having a height of thirty-five cubits. But their heads were of five cubits.
16 Nĩathondekire irengeeri igathĩkanĩtio, na agĩciigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa itugĩ icio. Ningĩ nĩathondekire mĩhiano igana rĩmwe ya matunda ma makomamanga na akĩmĩnyiitithania na irengeeri icio ciagathĩkanĩtio.
Then too, there were something like little chains on the oracle, and he placed these upon the heads of the pillars. And there were one hundred pomegranates, which he placed between the little chains.
17 Aakire itugĩ icio mwena wa mbere wa hekarũ, kĩmwe mwena wa gũthini, na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ mwena wa gathigathini. Kĩa mwena wa gũthini agĩgĩĩta Jakini, na kĩa mwena wa gathigathini agĩgĩĩta Boazu.
Also, he placed these pillars in the vestibule of the temple, one to the right, and the other to the left. The one that was on the right, he called Jachin; and the one that was on the left, Boaz.
