1 Mpanjaka 6
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo-polo amby efa-jato taorian’ ny nialan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tany Egypta tamin’ ny volana Ziva (volana faharoa izany), tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Solomona tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia nanorina ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy.
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 Ary ny trano nataon’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho an’ i Jehovah dia enim-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary roa-polo hakiho ny sakany, ary telo-polo hakiho ny hahavony.
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 Ary ny lavarangana fidirana teo anoloan’ ny ati-trano lehibe, dia roa-polo hakiho ny lavany mifanerana amin’ ny sakan’ ny trano, ary folo akiho ny habeny teo anoloan’ ny trano ihany.
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 Ary ny varavarankelin’ ny trano nataony makarakara tsy mivoha.
And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 Ary tamin’ ny lafin-trano dia nasiany paosin-trano mifanongoa manodidina, na amin’ ny ati-trano lehibe, na amin’ ny efitra atiny, sady nasiany efi-trano manodidina;
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 ny efi-trano ambany indrindra, dimy hakiho ny sakany, ary ny an-tenatenany, enina hakiho ny sakany, ary ny fahatelony, dia fito hakiho sakany; fa ny rindrina ivelan’ ny trano dia ahenany manodidina isaky ny mifanongoa, mba tsy hisy hitsatoka amin’ ny rindrina.
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 Ary tamin’ ny nanaovana ny trano dia vato voapaika rahateo hatrany amin’ ny fihadiam-bato no nanaovany azy: ka dia tsy nisy feon’ ny tantanana, na fandraka, na vy fiasana, re tao an-trano tamin’ ny nanaovany azy.
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 Ny varavarana mankao amin’ ny efi-trano an-tenatenany dia teo amin’ ny ilany ankavanan’ ny trano; ary tohatra miolikolika no niakarany ho ao amin’ ny efi-trano an-tenatenany, ary avy tao amin’ ny an-tenatenany indray no niakarany ho ao amin’ ny fahatelony.
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 Toy izany no nanaovany ny trano sy nahavitany azy; ary rairainy nopetahany hazo fisaka sedera no nataony tafon’ ny trano.
And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
10 Ary ny paosin-trano nataony manodidina ny trano, dimy hakiho avy ny hahavony, ary hazo sedera no nikambanany tamin’ ny trano.
And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
11 Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Solomona nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 Ny amin’ ity trano ataonao, ity raha handeha araka ny lalako ianao sy hanaraka ny fitsipiko ary hitandrina ny didiko rehetra ka hanaraka azy, dia hotanterahiko aminao ny teniko, izay nolazaiko tamin’ i Davida rainao;
“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 ary hitoetra ao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely Aho ka tsy hahafoy ny Isiraely oloko.
And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Ary nataon’ i Solomona ny trano, ka dia vitany.
And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 Ary ny rindrina anatiny nopetahany hazo sedera; hatramin’ ny vodi-rindrina ka hatramin’ ny loha-rindrina dia nopetahany hazo avokoa ary hazo kypreso no nataony gorodon’ ny trano.
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 Ary ny roa-polo hakiho hatreo amin’ ny rindrina farany dia nasiany efitra hazo sedera hatramin’ ny vodirindrina ka hatramin’ ny loha-rindrina, ary nataony ho efitra anatiny izany, dia ny fitoerana masìna indrindra.
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 Ary ny lavan’ ny ati-trano lehibe teo anoloan’ io dia efa-polo hakiho.
And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 Ary ny sedera amin’ ny ati-trano dia nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny voantango sy voninkazo mivelatra; sedera avokoa izy, ka tsy nisy vato niseho.
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 Nanisy efitra anatiny tao anatin’ ny trano izy hametrahany ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah.
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 Ary teo anoloan’ ny efitra anatiny roa-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary roa-polo hakiho ny sakany, roa-polo hakiho koa ny hahavony, sady voapetaka takela-bolamena tsara izy dia nopetahany hazo sedera ny alitara.
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 Ary nopetahan’ i Solomona takela-bolamena tsara indrindra ny atin’ ny trano; sady nasiany vakoka volamena hisakana eo anoloan’ ny efitra anatiny; ary nopetahany takela-bolamena koa ny alitara.
Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 Izao ati-trano rehetra izao dia nopetahany takela-bolamena avokoa; ary ny alitara momba ny efitra anatiny koa dia nopetahany takela-bolamena avokoa.
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 Ary tao anatin’ ny efitra anatiny dia nasiany kerobima hazo oliva roa, samy folo hakiho avy no hahavony.
And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Ary samy dimy hakiho avy ny elatry ny kerobima iray, dia folo hakiho hatramin’ ny tendron’ elany anankiray ka hatramin’ ny tendron’ elany anankiray.
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 Ary ny kerobima iray koa folo hakiho; fa ny kerobima roa mitovy halehibe sy mitovy tarehy:
Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 Folo hakiho ny hahavon’ ny kerobima iray, ary tahaka io ihany koa ny kerobima anankiray.
that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
27 Ary ny kerobima nataony tao afovoan’ ny trano anatiny; ary ny elany nataony mivelatra, ka ny ilany samy nipaka tamin’ ny rindrina avy, ary ny ilany nifanendry teo afovoan’ ny trano.
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 Ary nopetahany takela-bolamena ny kerobima.
He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Ary ny rindrina manodidina nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima sy hazo rofia ary voninkazo mivelatra, na ny efitra anatiny, na ny ati-trano lehibe.
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 Ary nopetahany takela-bolamena ny gorodona, na ny teo amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny, na ny teo amin’ ny ati-trano lehibe.
Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Ary ny varavarana mankao amin’ ny efitra anatiny dia nasiany lela-varavarana hazo oliva kopa-droa, ary ny tolany sy ny momba azy dia ampahadimin’ ny sakan-trano.
And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
32 Ny lela-varavarana hazo oliva kopa-droa dia nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima sy hazo rofia ary voninkazo mivelatra, ary, nopetahany volamena manify ny kerobima: sy ny hazo rofia.
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 Dia toy izany koa ny varavarana mankao amin’ ny ati-trano lehibe, dia nasiany tolam-baravarana hazo oliva mahafeno ny ampahefatry ny sahan-trano.
And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 Ary ny lela-varavarana hazo kypreso kopa-droa dia kamban-droa samy nisy savily avy.
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 Ary nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima sy ny hazo rofia ary voninkazo mivelatra ireo, dia nopetahany volamena manify ny sorany.
And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 Ary nanao ny kianja tao anatiny tamin’ ny vato voapaika telo an-dalana sy hazo sedera iray an-dalana izy.
And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 Tamin’ ny volana Ziva tamin’ ny taona fahefatra, no; nanaovany ny fanorenan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
38 Ary tamin’ ny volana Bola (volana fahavalo izany), tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo, no nahavitany ny trano araka ny fombany rehetra sy izay rehetra nahamety azy. Dia fito taona no nanaovany azy.
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.
