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.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.
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.
The house which King Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
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.
The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4 Ary ny varavarankelin’ ny trano nataony makarakara tsy mivoha.
He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
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;
Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms 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 lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
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.
The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
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 for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
9 Toy izany no nanaovany ny trano sy nahavitany azy; ary rairainy nopetahany hazo fisaka sedera no nataony tafon’ ny trano.
So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10 Ary ny paosin-trano nataony manodidina ny trano, dimy hakiho avy ny hahavony, ary hazo sedera no nikambanany tamin’ ny trano.
He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11 Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Solomona nanao hoe:
Yahweh’s word 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 statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
13 ary hitoetra ao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely Aho ka tsy hahafoy ny Isiraely oloko.
I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Ary nataon’ i Solomona ny trano, ka dia vitany.
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.
He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
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.
He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17 Ary ny lavan’ ny ati-trano lehibe teo anoloan’ io dia efa-polo hakiho.
In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
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.
There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
19 Nanisy efitra anatiny tao anatin’ ny trano izy hametrahany ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah.
He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant 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.
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with 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.
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with 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.
He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
23 Ary tao anatin’ ny efitra anatiny dia nasiany kerobima hazo oliva roa, samy folo hakiho avy no hahavony.
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
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.
Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
25 Ary ny kerobima iray koa folo hakiho; fa ny kerobima roa mitovy halehibe sy mitovy tarehy:
The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 Folo hakiho ny hahavon’ ny kerobima iray, ary tahaka io ihany koa ny kerobima anankiray.
One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other 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.
He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28 Ary nopetahany takela-bolamena ny kerobima.
He 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.
He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30 Ary nopetahany takela-bolamena ny gorodona, na ny teo amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny, na ny teo amin’ ny ati-trano lehibe.
He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
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.
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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.
So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
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.
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
34 Ary ny lela-varavarana hazo kypreso kopa-droa dia kamban-droa samy nisy savily avy.
and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 Ary nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima sy ny hazo rofia ary voninkazo mivelatra ireo, dia nopetahany volamena manify ny sorany.
He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36 Ary nanao ny kianja tao anatiny tamin’ ny vato voapaika telo an-dalana sy hazo sedera iray an-dalana izy.
He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
37 Tamin’ ny volana Ziva tamin’ ny taona fahefatra, no; nanaovany ny fanorenan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
The foundation of Yahweh’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month 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.
In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
