1 Bassekabaka 7
1 Sulemaani kyamutwalira ebbanga lya myaka kkumi n’esatu okuzimba olubiri lwe.
Now Solomon built his own house for thirteen years, and he brought it to perfection.
2 N’azimba olubiri nga luli ng’Ekibira kya Lebanooni, obuwanvu mita amakumi ana mu mukaaga, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, n’obugulumivu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu, nga luwaniriddwa ku mpagi nnya ez’emivule.
And he built the house from the forest of Lebanon: one hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height, with four walkways between columns of cedar. For he had hewn the cedar trees into columns.
3 Ne luserekebwa n’emivule ku mikiikiro amakumi ana mu etaano, buli lunyiriri nga lulimu kkumi na ttaano.
And he clothed the entire vaulted room with panels of cedar. And it was supported by forty-five columns. Now one row held fifteen columns,
4 Waaliwo amadirisa agaateekebwa mu nnyiriri ssatu, buli limu nga litunuulidde linnaalyo.
each positioned opposite another,
5 Buli mulyango gwalina omwango nga gwa nsonda nnya, era nga gitunuuliraganye mu nnyiriri ssatu.
and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.
6 N’azimba ekisenge ekinene eky’empagi obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu n’obugazi mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu. Mu maaso gaakyo waaliwo ekisasi, ekyali kiwaniriddwa empagi ez’emiti.
And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.
7 Yazimba n’ekisenge ekinene omwali entebe ey’obwakabaka, nga kye kisenge mwe yasaliranga emisango, era nga kyonna ky’ateekebwamu emivule okuva wansi okutuuka waggulu.
He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.
8 Olubiri lwe yali agenda okubeeramu olwali emanju w’ekisenge ekinene lwali lukifaanana. N’azimbira ne muwala wa Falaawo, gwe yali awasizza, olulufaanana.
And in the midst of the portico, there was a small house, where he would sit in judgment, similar in workmanship. He also made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh (whom Solomon had taken as wife) of the same work and type as this portico.
9 Okuva ku musingi okutuuka waggulu, ebizimbe ebyo byonna n’oluggya olunene, byazimbibwa n’amayinja agaagerebwa ne gasalibwa n’emisumeeno, mu bigera byago.
All was of precious stones, which had been sawed by a particular standard and measure, as much within as without, from the foundation even to the summit of the walls, and outside even to the great atrium.
10 Omusingi gw’azimbibwa n’amayinja amanene amalungi, agamu ng’obuwanvu genkana mita nnya n’ekitundu n’amalala ng’obuwanvu genkana mita ssatu n’obutundu mukaaga.
Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.
11 Waggulu okumpi n’akasolya waaliyo amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, agatemebwa nga bwe gaagerebwa, n’emiti egy’emivule.
And above these, there were precious stones, of equal measure, which had been cut in a manner similar to boards of cedar.
12 Oluggya olunene lwali lwetooloddwa bbugwe ow’embu ssatu ez’amayinja amateme, n’olubu olumu nga lwa miti egy’emivule, ng’ekisasi eky’omu maaso n’oluggya olw’omunda olwa yeekaalu bwe byali bizimbiddwa.
And the great atrium was round, with three rows of cut stones and one row of cut cedar, even as it also was in the interior atrium of the house of the Lord, and in the portico of the house.
13 Kabaka Sulemaani n’atumya Kiramu ow’e Ttuulo, eyali mutabani wa nnamwandu ow’omu kika kya Nafutaali.
And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram of Tyre,
14 Kitaawe yali musajja w’e Ttuulo nga muweesi wa bikomo. Kiramu yali musajja mugezi, mumanyirivu nnyo era ng’ategeera emirimu egy’ebyebikomo egya buli ngeri. N’agenda eri Kabaka Sulemaani, n’akola emirimu gyonna egya muweebwa.
the son of a widowed woman, from the tribe of Naphtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artisan in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in order to form every work of brass. And when he had gone to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.
15 Kiramu n’akola empagi bbiri ez’ekikomo, buli emu obuwanvu mita munaana n’akatundu kamu, n’okwetooloola buli emu mita ttaano n’obutundu buna.
And he cast two columns of brass. Each column was eighteen cubits in height, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed both columns.
16 Waggulu wa buli mpagi n’assaako ebitikkiro ebyalina ebitimba eby’omulimu ogw’ekikomo, n’emigo egy’omulimu ogw’emikuufu egyalukibwa.
Also, he made two heads of molten brass, which would be set upon the tops of the columns: one head was five cubits in height, and the other head was five cubits in height.
17 N’akola empagi zombi n’ebitikkiro byakwo nga zitimbiddwa buli emu ng’erina ebiruke ng’amalanga ag’amakomamawanga, musanvu.
And there was something like a network of chains, woven together in a wonderful manner. Both heads of the columns were cast, and seven rows of little nets traversed one head, and seven little nets were on the other head.
18 Ebitikkiro ebyali ku mpagi ez’olubalaza zakolebwa ng’amalanga ag’ebimuli eby’amakomamawanga.
And he finished the columns with two rows all around each network, so that these covered the heads, which were at the top, with pomegranates. And he did in like manner to the second head.
19 Ebitikkiro eby’empagi byali ng’amalanga nga ziri mita emu n’obutundu munaana obugulumivu.
Now the heads that were at the top of the columns, in the portico of four cubits, had been fabricated with a work of lilies.
20 Ku buli nkufiira ey’empagi kwaliko ekifaanana ng’ebakuli okuliraana n’omulimu ogufaanana ng’ekintu ekiruke, era waaliwo amakomamawanga ebikumi bibiri mu mbu okwetooloola ebitikkiro ebyo.
And again, there were other heads at the tops of the columns above, in accord with the measure of the column opposite the netting. And there were two hundred of the pomegranates, in rows around the second head.
21 N’akola empagi bbiri ku lubalaza lwa yeekaalu, emu n’agizimba ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo n’agituuma Yakini, n’eyokubiri n’agizimba ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono n’agituuma Bowaazi.
And he stationed the two columns in the portico of the temple. And when he had stationed the column on the right, he called its name Jachin. Similarly, he erected the second column, and he called its name Boaz.
22 Ebitikkiro byabyo byakolebwako ebimuli eby’amalanga, era bwe gutyo omulimu ogw’okuzimba empagi ne guggwa.
And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.
23 N’akola ttanka ennene ey’ekikomo ekisaanuuse, nga neekulungirivu ng’eri mita nnya n’ekitundu okuva ku mugo okutuuka ku mugo, ne mita bbiri n’obutundu busatu obugulumivu. Obwekulungirivu bwali mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.
24 Wansi w’omugo gwayo kwaliko entaabwa okugyetooloola, kkumi buli butundu busatu obwa mita, era nga ziri embu bbiri, ezasaanuusibwa nayo.
And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.
25 Ettanka ennene yatuulanga ku bifaananyi by’ente ennume kkumi na bbiri, esatu nga zitunudde mu bukiikakkono, n’endala essatu nga zitunudde ebugwanjuba, n’endala essatu nga zitunudde mu bukiikaddyo, n’endala essatu nga zitunudde ebuvanjuba, era ng’ebitundu byabyo eby’emabega nga bitunuuliraganye mu masekkati gaayo.
And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.
26 Obugazi bwayo yali oluta lumu, n’omugo gwayo gwakolebwa ng’omugo gw’ekibya, ng’ekimuli ky’amalanga. Yajjulanga lita emitwalo ena mu enkumi nnya.
And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.
27 N’akola n’ebitebe ebiseetulwa, mu bikomo buli kimu obuwanvu bwakyo mita emu n’obutundu munaana, n’obugazi bwe bumu, ate obugulumivu mita emu n’obutundu busatu.
And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
28 Ebitebe ebyo by’akolebwa bwe biti: byalina enkulukumbi mu myango gyabyo.
And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
29 Ku nkulukumbi wakati mu myango mwalimu ebifaananyi bya bakerubi n’eby’empologoma, n’eby’ente ennume; kwaliko n’ebintu ebireebeeta ebyakolebwa n’emikono.
And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.
30 Buli kitebe ky’alina nnamuziga nnya ez’ebikomo, n’entobo za nnamuziga nga za bikomo, era nga buli kimu kirina ebensani ewaniriddwa mu nsonda nnya n’emisituliro egyasaanuusibwa, nga ku buli musituliro kuliko ebireebeeta.
And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.
31 Ekitebe ekimu kyalina akamwa akalina omwango omwekulungirivu ogwali kitundu kya mita mu kukka. Akamwa kaagwo kaali keekulungirivu n’omulimu ogwa wansi kwe kyaterezebwanga, nga gwa butundu musanvu obwa mita mu kukka. Ku kamwa kaagwo kwaliko enjola, n’enkulumbi zaakyo nga si nnekulungirivu naye ng’enjuyi zonna zenkanankana.
Also, the mouth of the interior of the basin was at the top of the head. And what was visible outside was of one cubit all around, and altogether it had one cubit and a half. Now at the corners of the columns were diverse engravings. And the spaces between the columns were square, not round.
32 Nnamuziga ennya zaali wansi w’enkulumbi; n’emisingi gya nnamuziga gyali gikomereddwa ku kitebe. Okusala mu bukiika bwa nnamuziga emu bwali obutundu musanvu obwa mita.
And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined to one another under the base. The height of one wheel held one cubit and a half.
33 Nnamuziga zaakolebwa nga nnamuziga ez’amagaali, era kwaliko emisingi, n’empanka, n’empagi, n’emisumaali nga byonna by’akolebwa mu kyuma ekisaanuuse.
Now these were the kind of wheels such as are often made for a chariot. And their axels, and spokes, and tires, and centers were all cast.
34 Kwaliko emisituliro ena ku nsonda ennya eza buli kitebe era gyonna nga gya kika kyekimu n’ekitebe.
And the four little arms, which were at each corner of a base, were cast and joined together as part of the base itself.
35 Ku ntikko eya buli kitebe kwaliko engeri ey’ekikoba ekyekulungirivu; okukka kwakyo obutundu bubiri obwa mita, n’embiriizi zaakyo n’enkulukumbi ebyagiwaniriranga, byakwatagananga ku ntikko.
And at the summit of the base, there was a round stand of one half cubit, fabricated so that the basin could be placed upon it, having its engravings, and various sculptures of its own.
36 Ku biwanirira ne ku nkulukumbi, Kiramu yakolako ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakerubi, n’eby’empologoma, n’eby’enkindu mu buli kifo omwali ebbanga, era n’ayolako ebimuli okwetooloola.
He also engraved those plates, which were of brass. And at the corners were cherubim, and lions, and palm trees, standing out, as if in the likeness of a man, so that they seemed not to be engraved, but placed adjacent on all sides.
37 Bw’atyo bwe yakola ebitebe ekkumi. Byonna yabikola mu kyuma ekisaanuuse kyekimu, era n’abikola byonna nga bya kigero kyekimu, n’okufaanana nga bifaanana.
In this manner, he made ten bases with the same casting and measure, and very similar engravings.
38 N’alyoka akola amabensani kkumi, nga ga kikomo, buli emu ng’egyamu lita lunaana mu kinaana, era buli emu nga yenkana mita emu ne desimoolo munaana obugazi, ate buli bensani ng’etuula ku kitebe kyayo.
He also made ten hand basins of brass. One hand basin contained four baths, and was of four cubits. And each basin he set upon a base, which is ten bases.
39 N’addira ebitebe bitaano ku byo n’abiteeka ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu, n’ebitaano ebirala ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono; n’ateeka Ennyanja ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obw’ebuvanjuba obwa yeekaalu.
And he stationed the ten bases, five to the right side of the temple, and five to the left. And the sea he placed to the right side of the temple, opposite the east, toward the south.
40 N’akola n’ensuwa, n’amabensani, n’ebijiiko, n’amabensani ag’okumansira. Bw’atyo Kiramu n’amaliriza omulimu gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama gwonna gwe yakolera Kabaka Sulemaani.
Then Hiram made cooking pots, and trays, and small hooks. And he completed all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord:
41 Empagi ebbiri zombi; ebitikkiro byombi eby’ebibya ebyayolebwa waggulu ku mpagi; embu ebbiri ez’ebitimbe ebyali ku bitikkiro byombi eby’empagi;
the two columns, and the two cords of the heads over the tops of the columns, and the two networks which covered the two cords that were above the tops of the columns;
42 n’ebitone ebikumi ebina eby’amakomamawanga ebyali mu mbu ebbiri, ebyali bibikka ku nkufiira ez’empagi;
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two turnings of pomegranates for each network, in order to cover the cords of the heads, which were above the tops of the columns;
43 ebitebe ekkumi n’amabensani gaakwo agaabituulangako kkumi;
and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
44 ettanka ennene n’ebifaananyi eby’ente ennume ekkumi n’ebbiri ebyali wansi w’ettanka ennene;
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 n’ensuwa, n’ebisena, n’amabensani agamansira. Ebintu byonna Kulamu bye yakolera Kabaka Sulemaani ku lwa yeekaalu ya Mukama byali bya bikomo bizigule.
and the cooking pots, and the trays, and the small hooks. All of the items that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of golden brass.
46 Kabaka yalagira babisaanuusize mu lusenyi lwa Yoludaani awali ettaka ery’ebbumba wakati w’e Sukkosi n’e Zalesani.
In the open regions near the Jordan, the king cast these, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Sulemaani teyapima bintu ebyo byonna, kubanga byali biyitiridde obungi; era tewali yapima buzito obw’ekikomo ebintu mwe byakolebwa.
And Solomon positioned all the items. But because of its exceedingly great amount, the brass was not weighed.
48 Awo Sulemaani n’akozesa n’ebintu ebirala byonna ebyateekebwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama: ekyoto ekya zaabu; emmeeza eya zaabu okwaberanga emigaati egy’okulaga;
And Solomon made all the furniture for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the bread of the presence would be placed;
49 ebikondo by’ettaala ebya zaabu ennongoose, bitaano ku luuyi olwa ddyo n’ebitaano ku luuyi olwa kkono, byonna awamu kkumi, mu kifo awaayimirirwanga okwogera; obusumbi bw’ebimuli; ettabaaza ne makansi nga bya zaabu;
and the gold lampstands, five to the right, and five to the left, opposite the oracle, of pure gold; and likenesses of lily blossoms, with lamps above them, of gold; and gold tongs;
50 bbensani, ne makansi ezisala ebisirinza, ne bbakuli ezifukirira, n’ebibya ne fulampeni, nga bya zaabu ennongoose; eminyolo gy’enzigi egy’ekisenge eky’omunda ddala, kye Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo nga gya zaabu, n’egy’enzigi ez’ekisenge ekinene ddala ekya yeekaalu nga gya zaabu.
and water pots, and little forks, and bowls, and little mortars, and censers, of the purest gold; and the hinges of the doors, for the interior house of the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the temple, which were of gold.
51 Omulimu gwonna Kabaka Sulemaani gwe yakola ku yeekaalu ya Mukama bwe gwaggwa, n’aleeta ebintu Dawudi kitaawe bye yayawulirako Mukama, effeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu ebirala byonna, n’abiteeka mu mawanika ga yeekaalu ya Mukama.
And Solomon perfected all the work that he was doing in the house of the Lord. And he brought in the things that his father David had sanctified: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels. And he stored these in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
