1 Ndị Eze 6
1 Solomọn bidoro iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼọnwa Zif, bụ ọnwa nke abụọ nʼafọ nke anọ nke ịbụ eze ya. Ọ bụkwa nʼafọ nke mere ya narị afọ anọ na iri afọ asatọ site nʼoge ndị Izrel si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
2 Ụlọnsọ nke eze Solomọn wuuru Onyenwe anyị dị iri mita abụọ na asaa nʼogologo, mita itoolu nʼobosara, ebe ịla elu ya dịkwa mita iri na anọ.
Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke dị nʼihu ụlọ ezumezu nke ụlọnsọ ahụ dị mita itoolu nʼogologo nke gbakwunyere ihe nʼobosara ụlọnsọ ahụ, dịrịkwa mita anọ na ọkara nʼobosara ya.
And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
4 O meere ụlọnsọ ahụ oghereikuku kpara nkpa nʼime ma saa mbara nʼezi, nʼebe elu elu mgbidi ụlọ ahụ.
And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 Nʼakụkụ mgbidi ụlọ ezumezu ahụ nakwa mgbidi nke ime ebe nsọ ahụ, o wuru okpukpu gburugburu ụlọ ahụ, nke nwere ọtụtụ ụlọ nta dị iche iche gbaa gburugburu.
And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
6 Obosara okpukpu ụlọ nke dịkarịsịrị ala bụ mita abụọ na ọkara, obosara okpukpu nke ụlọ etiti dị mita atọ, otu a kwa, obosara okpukpu ụlọ nke atọ dị mita atọ na ọkara. Mgbe e wuru mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gburugburu, e wukwara ihe dịka aka nʼakụkụ mgbidi ahụ niile. Ọ bụ nʼelu ihe ndị a dịka aka ka e dokwasịrị osisi e ji wuo ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ka e ji gbochie ịmanye ihe ọbụla nʼaja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 Mgbe a na-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ọ bụ naanị nkume awara nke ọma nʼebe a nọ gwupụta ha ka eji wuo ya. O nweghị onye nụrụ ụzụ itipịa nkume, maọbụ ụzụ ịwa osisi, maọbụ ụdị mkpọtụ ahụ ngwa ọrụ mkpirisi igwe na-eme, nʼebe a nọ wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, mgbe a na-ewu ya.
Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 Ọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼọnụ ụlọ ndị dị nʼokpukpu ụlọ elu nke mbụ dị nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. E nwekwara ụzọ nrigo e wuru e si abanye nʼọnụ ụlọ ndị dị nʼokpukpu ndị dị nʼetiti. A na-esitekwa na nke a rigoro ruo na nke atọ.
The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
9 Mgbe o wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu a, Solomọn jiri ibe osisi na osisi dị obosara e si nʼosisi sida mepụta, wuo ihe mgbachị elu ụlọ ahụ.
And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
10 O wuru ọtụtụ ọnụụlọ nta nʼakụkụ mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gburugburu. Ọ bụkwa osisi sida ka e ji jikọta mgbidi ụlọ ahụ na ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ. Ịdị elu nke ọbụla nʼime ha bụ mita abụọ na ọkara.
And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
11 Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Solomọn ntị,
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 “Banyere ụlọnsọ ukwu a i na-ewu, ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe m gwara gị, gbasoo ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu, ma mezuo okwu m niile, aga m esite na gị mezuo nkwa ahụ m kwere nna gị Devid.
“Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
13 Aga m ebikwa nʼetiti ndị Izrel, agaghị m ahapụkwa ndị m, Izrel.”
And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Emesịa, Solomọn wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 O ji osisi sida dị obosara machie ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ site nʼakụkụ ala ruo nʼelu ya. E jikwa osisi junipa machie ala ụlọ ahụ niile.
And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
16 O ji osisi sida kewapụta ihe ruru mita itoolu nʼazụ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, site nʼala ụlọ ahụ ruo nʼelu, nʼihi iwepụta site nʼụlọnsọ ahụ, ime ime ebe nsọ, nke bụ Ebe Kachasị Nsọ.
And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
17 Ụlọ ezumezu nke dị nʼihu ọnụụlọ a dị iri mita na asatọ.
And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 Ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ bụ osisi sida, nke a tụrụ ihe ọtụtụ nke oyiyi afụfa ọhịa na okoko osisi wasara awasa nʼelu ya. Ihe niile dị nʼime ụlọ ahụ bụ osisi sida, adịghị ahụ nkume ọbụla anya.
And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
19 Ọ kwadokwara ebe nsọ ahụ, ebe dị nʼime ime ụlọ ahụ, maka idebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ.
Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
20 Ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, dị mita iri nʼogologo, obosara ya dịkwa mita iri, ịdị elu ya dịkwa mita iri. O ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie ahụ ime ụlọ a niile, jiri osisi sida machie ebe nchụaja ya.
And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.
21 Solomọn ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ gbatịrị ụdọ ọlaedo gafere nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, nke e jikwa ọlaedo machie.
Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 Ya mere, o ji ọlaedo machie ime ya niile. O jikwa ọlaedo machie ebe ịchụ aja nke dịịrị ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 O mere cherubim abụọ, nke e ji osisi oliv tụọ nʼime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, ịdị elu nke ọbụla bụ mita ise.
And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Cherub nke mbụ nwere nku abụọ, otu nku dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo, nku nke ọzọ dịkwa mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo. Ya bụ, mita ise site na ụma isii, site nʼọnụ otu nku ruo nʼọnụ nku nke ọzọ.
One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
25 Cherub nke abụọ dịkwa iri mita na ụma isii, nʼihi na cherubim abụọ ndị a bụ otu nʼọtụtụ nakwa nʼibu ibu.
Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 Ịdị elu nke cherub ọbụla ruru mita ise na ụma isii.
that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
27 O tinyere cherubim ndị a nke gbasapụrụ nku ha nʼime ime Ebe Nsọ Kachasị Nsọ nke ụlọnsọ ukwu. Ọnụ ọnụ nke nku cherub ọbụla na-emetụ otu akụkụ ahụ ụlọ ahụ, ebe ọnụ ọnụ nke nku cherub ọbụla na-emetụ na nke ibe ya nʼetiti ọnụụlọ ahụ.
And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
28 O jiri ọlaedo machie cherubim ndị ahụ.
He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Nʼahụ aja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gbaa gburugburu, ma nʼime ọnụụlọ nke dị nʼime na ndị dị na mpụta, ka ọ pịkwasịrị oyiyi cherubim, osisi nkwụ na okoko osisi wara awa.
And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
30 O jikwa ọlaedo machie ala ụlọ nke ọnụụlọ niile dị nʼime ụlọ, na ọnụụlọ ndị dị na mpụta ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 O ji osisi oliv mee ibo ọnụ ụzọ mbata nke ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, osisi ndị a bụ otu ụzọ nʼụzọ ise nke obosara ebe nsọ ahụ.
And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
32 Nʼahụ ibo abụọ ahụ nke si nʼosisi oliv, ọ tụnyere oyiyi cherubim abụọ, igu nkwụ na okoko osisi wara awa. O ji ọlaedo etipịara etipịa machie oyiyi cherubim na igu nkwụ ndị ahụ.
And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
33 Otu a kwa, o ji osisi oliv mee mbudo ibo ọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼụlọ ezumezu ahụ, nke bụ otu ụzọ na nkewa anọ nke obosara ụlọ ezumezu ahụ.
And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 O jikwa osisi junipa mee ibo abụọ a na-emechikọta nʼotu.
and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
35 Ọ pịrị oyiyi cherubim na oyiyi nkwụ, na oyiyi okoko osisi wara awa, jiri ọlaedo techie ibo ndị ahụ na oyiyi a pịkwasịrị ha.
And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 O wuru ogige nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ bụ ahịrị nkume atọ e doziri edozi na otu ahịrị osisi sida a kwachara nke ọma ka e ji wuo ogige a.
And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 Ọ bụ nʼọnwa Ziv, nʼafọ nke anọ, nke ịbụ eze Solomọn ka a tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
38 Ọ bụ nʼime afọ iri na otu, nʼọnwa Bul, ya bụ ọnwa nke asatọ, ka e wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼihe niile ya dịka ntụziaka e nyere si dị. Ọ bụ afọ asaa ka o weere ya i ji rụchaa ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
