1 EIA kekahi, i ka makahiki eha haneri me kanawalu mahope mai o ka puka ana mai o na mamo a Iseraeia mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, i ka ha o ka makahiki o ko Solomona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, i ka malama o Zifa, oia ka malama alua, i hoomaka ae ai oia e kukulu i ka hale no Iehova.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu amane lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni koIsrayeli, ngenyanga kaZivi, eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ukwakha indlu yeNkosi.
2 A o ka hale a Solomona ke alii i hana aku ai no Iehova, kanaono kubita kona loa, a o kona laula he iwakalua kubita, a o kona kiekie he kanakolu kubita.
Njalo indlu inkosi uSolomoni eyayakhela uJehova, ubude bayo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, lobubanzi bayo babungamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwayo kwakuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu.
3 A o ka lanai mamua o ka luakini o ka hale, he iwakalua kubita ka loa e like me ka laula o ka hale, he umi kubita hoi kona laula mamua o ka hale.
Lekhulusi phambi kwethempeli lendlu, ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, njengobubanzi bendlu, ububanzi balo babuzingalo ezilitshumi phambi kwendlu.
4 Hana iho la oia i na puka makani he ololi kahi malamalama.
Njalo wayenzela indlu amawindi abanzi ngaphandle kulangaphakathi.
5 Ma ka paia o ka hale a puni i hana'i oia i na keena a puni na paia o ka hale, o ka luakini a me kahi o olelo ai; a hana ae oia i na papa a puni.
Futhi emdulini wendlu wakha amakamelo inhlangothi zonke, imiduli yendlu inhlangothi zonke, esenzela ithempeli lendawo yelizwi. Wenza lezindlwana eziseceleni inhlangothi zonke.
6 O ke keena lalo elima kubita ka laula, a o ka waena, eono kubita ka laula, a o ko kolu ehiku kubita ka laula: no ka mea, mawaho o ka hale i hana i oia i na anuu a puni, i ole e hoopaaia na kaola iloko o na paia o ka hale.
Ikamelo elingaphansi kwawo wonke, ububanzi balo babuzingalo ezinhlanu, leliphakathi, ububanzi balo buzingalo eziyisithupha, lelesithathu, ububanzi balo buzingalo eziyisikhombisa. Ngoba ngaphandle kwendlu wenza izinciphiso inhlangothi zonke, ukuze imijabo ingagxunyekwa emidulwini yendlu.
7 A o ka hale i ke kukuluia'na, ua kukuluia'e ia i ka pohaku i hooponoponoia mamua o ka laweia ilaila, aole ka hamare aole hoi ke koi, aole mea hao i loheia maloko o ka halo i kona kukuluia.
Njalo indlu, isakhiwa, yakhiwa ngamatshe ayepheleliswe enkwalini, ukuze kungezwakali isando lehloka, loba yisiphi isikhali sensimbi endlini nxa isakhiwa.
8 O ka pukakomo o ko keena waena, aia ma ka aoao akau ia o ka hale: a ma na anuu wili i pii ai lakou a loko o ko keena waena, a mailoko ae o ka waena iloko o ke kolu.
Umnyango wendlwana eseceleni ephakathi wawusehlangothini lwesokunene lwendlu; njalo bakhwela ngesikhwelo esibhodayo ukuya kwengaphakathi, lokusuka kwengaphakathi kusiya kweyesithathu.
9 Pela ia i hana'i i ka hale a paa, a kau maluna i na kaola a me na papa kedera.
Wayakha-ke indlu, wayiqeda; wagubuzela indlu ngentungo lamapulanka emisedari.
10 Alaila hana iho la i na keena e pili ana i ka hale a pau, elima kubita ke kiekie, a kau iho la lakou ma ka hale me na laau kedera.
Wasesakha izindlwana eceleni kwendlu yonke, ubude bazo buzingalo ezinhlanu, wakuxhuma endlini ngezigodo zemisedari.
11 A hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Solomona peneia,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuSolomoni lathi:
12 O keia hale au e hana nei, ina e helo oe ma ko'u mau kapu, a e hana ma ko'u mau kanawai, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha a pau o helo ma ia mau mea, alaila e nooko iho au i ka'u olelo me oe a'u i olelo aku ai ia Davida i kou makuakane.
Mayelana lale indlu oyakhayo, uba uhamba ngezimiso zami, usenza izahlulelo zami, njalo ugcina yonke imilayo yami ukuhamba ngayo, ngizakwenza ilizwi lami kuwe engalikhuluma kuDavida uyihlo;
13 A e noho no au iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, aole hoi e haalele aku i ko'u poo kanaka i ka Iseraela.
ngizahlala phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngingabatshiyi abantu bami uIsrayeli.
14 Pela i hana'i o Solomona i ka hale a paa ia ia.
Wayakha-ke uSolomoni indlu, wayiqeda.
15 A hana iho la oia i koloko o na paia me na papa kedera, mai ka papahehi o ka hale a luna o na paia; a kau ai oia i ka laau maloko, a hoouhi i ko lalo o ka halo mo na papa kaa.
Wasesakha imiduli yendlu ngaphakathi ngamapulanka emisedari, kusukela kuphansi lendlu kuze kufike emidulwini yophahla, wayembesa ngaphakathi ngezigodo, wendlala iphansi lendlu ngamapulanka amafiri.
16 A hana iho la oia, ma na aoao o ka hale, he iwakalua kubita, mai ke keehana a hiki i na paia i na papa kedera; hana iho la oia no ia maloko, i wahi e olelo ai, i wahi hoano loa.
Wasesakha izingalo ezingamatshumi amabili emaceleni endlu, ngamapulanka emisedari, kusukela kuphansi kwaze kwafika emidulwini; wayakhela ngaphakathi, esenzela indawo yelizwi, esenzela ingcwele yezingcwele.
17 He kanaha kubita ka loa o ka hale oia ka luakini i mua ona.
Lendlu, elithempeli, ngaphambili, yayizingalo ezingamatshumi amane.
18 A o ke kedera o ka hale maloko, ua kalakalaiia he mau kaukama a me na pua mohala: he kedera wale no, aole pohaku i ikeia.
Njalo umsedari wendlu ngaphakathi wawubazwe waba zinduku lamaluba avulekileyo; konke kwakungumsedari, kungabonakali litshe.
19 A o kahi e olelo ai, oia kana i hoomakaukau ai ma ka hale maloko, e waiho malaila i ka pahuberita o Iehova.
Waselungisa indawo yelizwi phakathi endlini ukubeka khona umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi.
20 A o kahi e olelo ai ma ka mua he iwakalua kubita ka loa, a he iwakalua kubita ka laula, a he iwakalua kubita ke kiekie ona: a hoouhi ae la oia ia me ko gula maemae, a hoouhi ae la i ko kuahu kedera.
Lendawo yelizwi ephambili, ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwayo kuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; wayihuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo; wasesembesa ilathi ngomsedari.
21 Hoouhi ae la o Solomona i ka hale maloko me ke gula maemae; hana iho la oia i ka paku me na kaula gula ma ke alo o kahi e olelo ai, a hoouhi ae la mo ko gula.
USolomoni waseyihuqa indlu ngaphakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo, wenza isehlukaniso ngamaketane egolide phambi kwendawo yelizwi, wasesihuqa ngegolide.
22 A o ka hale a pau kana i hoouhi ai me ke gula a hiki i ka hoopaa ana i ka hale a puni, a me ke kuahu okoa e pili ana i kahi e olelo ai kana i hoouhi ai me ke gula.
Lendlu yonke wayihuqa ngegolide yaze yaphelela yonke indlu; lelathi lonke elisendaweni yelizwi walihuqa ngegolide.
23 A maloko o kahi e olelo ai, i hana'i oia i na keruba elua he laau oliva, he umi kubita ke kiekie.
Endaweni yelizwi wasesenza amakherubhi amabili ngesihlahla somhlwathi, ukuphakama kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi ngalinye.
24 Elima kubita kekahi eheu o ke keruba, a elima kubita kekahi eheu o ko keruba; mai ka welau o kekahi eheu a ka welau o kekahi eheu he umi kubita.
Olunye uphiko lwekherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu, lolunye uphiko lwekherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu; kusukela ekucineni kolunye uphiko kusiya ekucineni kolunye uphiko kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi.
25 He umi kubita kekahi keruba. Hookahi ana o na keruba elua, ua like ko laua nui.
Lelinye ikherubhi lalizingalo ezilitshumi; womabili amakherubhi ayeyisilinganiso sinye lesimo sinye.
26 Ke kiekie o kekahi keruba he umi kubita, a pela ko kekahi keruba.
Ukuphakama kwelinye ikherubhi kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi, lelinye ikherubhi lalinjalo.
27 Hooku ae la hoi oia i na keruba maloko o ka hale iloko loa; a hoholaia'e la na eheu o na keruba, i pa ka eheu o kekahi i ka paia, a pa ka eheu o kekahi keruba i kekahi paia, a iwaena konu o ka hale i pa ai kekahi eheu i kekahi eheu.
Wasewabeka amakherubhi phakathi kwendlu engaphakathi; njalo amakherubhi elula impiko, kuze kuthi olunye uphiko lwathinta umduli, lophiko lwelinye ikherubhi lwathinta omunye umduli, lempiko zawo zathintana uphiko lophiko ngaphakathi kwendlu.
28 A hoouhi ao la hoi oia i na keruba me ke gula.
Wasewahuqa amakherubhi ngegolide.
29 A kalakalai ae la hoi oia i na paia a pau o ka hale a puni i na kii kalaiia o na keruba, a me na laau pama, a me na pua mohala, maloko a mawaho.
Wabaza imiduli yonke yendlu inhlangothi zonke ngemifanekiso ebaziweyo yamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo ngaphakathi langaphandle.
30 A o ka papakeehana o ka hale kana i hoouhi ai me ke gula maloko a mawaho hoi.
Iphansi lendlu waselihuqa ngegolide ngaphakathi langaphandle.
31 A no ka puka o kahi e olelo ai, i hana'i oia i na pani laau oliva, a o ka lapauila a me na laauku, o ka hapalima no ia.
Emnyango wendawo yelizwi wenza izivalo zesihlahla somhlwathi, ikhothamo lemigubazi kulezinhlangothi ezinhlanu.
32 He laau oliva na pani elua, a kalai iho la oia ma ia mau mea i ke kalakalai ana o na keruba, a me na laau pama, a me na pua mohala, a hoouhi ae la ia mau mea me ke gula, a kapili ae la hoi i ke gula ma na keruba a me na laau pama.
Lezivalo zombili zazingezesihlahla somhlwathi, wabaza kuzo imibazo yamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo, wazihuqa ngegolide, wakhandela igolide phezu kwamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala.
33 Pela hoi i hana'i oia no ka puka o ka luakini i na laauku oliva he hapaha.
Ngokunjalo wasesenzela umnyango wethempeli imigubazi yesihlahla somhlwathi, ezinhlangothini ezine.
34 A o na pani elua he laau kaa; a o na aoao elua o kekahi pani e pelu ana ia, a o na aoao elua o ke kahi pani, e pelu ana no ia.
Lezivalo ezimbili zazingezezihlahla zamafiri; impiko zombili zesivalo esisodwa zazigoqeka, lezilenge ezimbili zesivalo sesibili zazigoqeka.
35 Kalai ae la hoi oia malaila i na keruba, a me na laau pama, a me na pua mohala; a hoouhi hoi me ke gula i hooku pono ia i ka mea i kalaiia.
Wasebaza kuzo amakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo, wakuhuqa ngegolide elendlala kuhle phezu kokubaziweyo.
36 Hana iho la hoi oia i ka pahale loko, me na lalani ekolu o na pohaku i kalaiia, a me ka lalani laau kedera.
Wasesakha iguma elingaphakathi ngemizila emithathu yamatshe abaziweyo, lomzila wemijabo yemisedari.
37 I ka makahiki ha i hoonohoia'i ke kumu o ka hale o Iehova, i ka malama Zifa.
Ngomnyaka wesine isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi sabekwa, ngenyanga kaZivi.
38 A i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka malama Bula, oia ka walu o ka malama, ua paa ka hale a me kona mau mea a pau, mamuli o na kauoha a pau nona. Ehiku makahiki no hoi kana hana ana ia.
Kwathi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, enyangeni kaBuli, okuyinyanga yesificaminwembili, yaphela indlu ezintweni zayo zonke lanjengakho konke ukumiswa kwayo. Ngakho wayakha iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
