< 2 Ihe E Mere 4 >
1 Solomọn wukwara ebe ịchụ aja bronz. Ogologo ya ruru iri mita na ọkara. Obosara ya rukwara iri mita na ọkara; ma ịdị elu ya dị mita ise na ụma atọ.
Solomon made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.
2 O mekwara Oke osimiri nke ọla awụrụ awụ, nke dị gburugburu nʼụdịdị. Ọtụtụ ya bụ ihe ruru mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo, dịkwa mita ise na ụma atọ, site nʼotu ọnụ ruo nʼọnụ nke ọzọ. Ọ bụ eriri e ji atụ ihe nke ruru ihe dịka mita iri na anọ ka e ji tụọ ya gburugburu.
He made a “Sea” from cast metal, ten cubits in diameter, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
3 Nʼokpuru ọnụ ya, oyiyi ụmụ oke ehi gbara ya gburugburu, iri dị na mita anọ na ọkara ọbụla. Ehi ndị ahụ dị nʼahịrị abụọ. A wụkọtara ha na Oke osimiri ahụ otu mgbe.
Below it were ornamental bulls all around it, ten per cubit. They were in two rows when it was all cast.
4 E mekwara ka Oke osimiri ahụ guzo nʼelu ehi iri na abụọ. Atọ na-eche ihu nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ; atọ na-eche ihu nʼọdịda anyanwụ; atọ na-eche ihu nʼakụkụ ndịda, atọ na-eche ihu nʼakụkụ ugwu. Oke osimiri ahụ dịkwasịrị ha nʼelu, ebe azụ ha niile dị nʼime nʼetiti.
The Sea was supported by twelve statues of bulls three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea was placed on them, with their rears toward the center.
5 Ịdị arọ ya ha ka otu ọtụtụ ntu-aka dimkpa. E mere ọnụ ya ka ọ dị ka ọnụ iko mmiri, dịkwa ka okoko lili na-awapụta awapụta. Ọ na-erite puku galọọnụ iri na asatọ.
It was as thick as the width of a hand, and its edge was like the flared edge of a cup or a lily flower. It held three thousand baths.
6 A kpụkwara efere ukwu iri nke e ji asacha ihe e wetara maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ. Ise nʼime ha dị nʼakụkụ ndịda olulu mmiri ahụ, ise nʼakụkụ ugwu. Ndị nchụaja na-esite naanị na olulu mmiri ahụ ekuru mmiri ha ji asacha ihe.
He also made ten basins on carts for washing. He placed five on the south side, and five on the north. They were used for cleaning what was used in burnt offerings, but the Sea was used by the priests for washing.
7 Ọ kpụrụ ihe ịdọba oriọna ọlaedo iri nʼusoro dịka Chineke nyere ya nʼiwu. O debere ha nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ise nʼakụkụ ndịda ụlọ ahụ, ise nʼakụkụ nke ugwu.
He made ten gold lampstands as had been specified, and placed them in the Temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8 O mekwara tebul iri dọnye nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ise nʼakụkụ ndịda, ise nʼakụkụ ugwu. Ọ kpụkwara otu narị efere ọlaedo maka ịkwọsa mmiri.
In addition he made ten tables and placed them in the Temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold basins.
9 Ọ mere ogige ndị nchụaja, mekwa otu ogige ukwuu, na ibo ọnụ ụzọ maka itinye nʼogige ahụ. O jiri bronz machie ibo ọnụ ụzọ ndị ahụ.
Solomon also built a courtyard of the priests, and the large courtyard and doors for the courtyard, and he covered the doors with bronze.
10 Oke osimiri ahụ ka ọ dọbara nʼakụkụ ndịda, na ncherita ihu ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ụlọnsọ ahụ.
He placed the Sea on the south side, by the southeast corner.
11 Huram kpụkwara ite dị iche iche, shọvel niile, na efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile. Nʼikpeazụ, ọ rụchara ọrụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Chineke, nke eze Solomọn tinyere ya nʼaka ịrụ.
Hiram also made the pots, shovels, and basins. Hiram completed the work that he had been doing for King Solomon on the Temple of God:
12 Ogidi abụọ ahụ; ihe ọkpụkpụ abụọ dịka efere dị nʼelu ogidi abụọ ahụ; Ihe ọkpụkpụ yiri ụdọ a tụrụ atụ nke e ji chọọ ihe ọkpụkpụ abụọ ahụ dịka efere mma;
the two columns; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columns; the two sets of network that covered both bowls of the capitals on top of the columns;
13 narị anọ nke mkpụrụ pomegranet a kpụrụ akpụ maka ahịrị ihe abụọ ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ, ya bụ, ahịrị pomegranet abụọ nʼihi otu ihe ọkpụkpụ, iji chọọ ihe ọkpụkpụ ahụ yiri efere dị nʼisi elu ogidi ahụ mma;
the four hundred ornamental pomegranates for the two sets of network—two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columns;
14 ihe ndọkwasị na efere ịsa mmiri ha,
the water carts and the basins on the water carts;
15 na Oke osimiri ahụ na ehi iri na abụọ ahụ dị ya nʼokpuru,
the Sea and the twelve bull statues that supported it; the pots, shovels, forks, and everything else.
16 na ite niile, shọvel niile, ihe ịgụrụ anụ niile na ihe ngwongwo ndị ọzọ ya na ha so. Ihe niile nke Huram-Abi mere eze Solomọn nʼihi ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, bụ bronz e hichaziri nke ọma.
All the metalwork Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord was of polished bronze.
17 Ọ bụ nʼala ụrọ, nʼobosara ala Jọdan, nʼetiti Sukọt na Zaretan, ka eze mere ka a nọrọ kpụọ ihe ndị a.
The king cast them in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Ihe ndị a niile nke Solomọn mere dị ukwuu nke ukwu; nke bụ na-enweghị ike ịgụkọta ihe ịdị arọ nke bronz ahụ bụ.
Solomon made so many of these things that the weight of the bronze used could not be measured.
19 Solomọn mekwara ngwongwo niile dị nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke, ya bụ, ebe ịchụ aja e ji ọlaedo kpụọ, na tebul niile nke a dọkwasịrị achịcha nke iche nʼIhu Onyenwe anyị,
Solomon also made everything used in the Temple of God: the golden altar; the tables where the Bread of the Presence was displayed;
20 ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna niile nke ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, ha na oriọna ha niile, ka ọ na-enwu nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ, dịka e nyere nʼiwu,
the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps that were to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as specified;
21 ihe ịchọ mma oyiyi okoko osisi, na oriọna niile na ihe ịgụta ihe niile. E ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ ha niile.
the decorative flowers, lamps, and tongs—all made of solid gold;
22 Ọ kpụkwara ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ niile nke ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, na efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, na ngaji niile, na ihe ịgụ ọkụ niile, na ibo ọlaedo niile nke ụlọnsọ, ya bụ, ibo ọnụ ụzọ ime ime niile nke dịrị Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ, na ibo ndị dị nʼọnụ ụlọ ezumezu.
the wick trimmers, basins, dishes and censers—all made of gold; and the doors of the Temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall—all covered with gold.
