1 Mpanjaka 7
1 Ary telo ambin’ ny folo taona no nanaovan’ i Solomona ny lapany, dia vita.
However, it took Solomon thirteen years to finish building the whole of his palace.
2 Fa nanao ilay trano Alan’ i Libanona izy: zato hakiho ny lavany, dimam-polo hakiho ny sakany, ary telo-polo hakiho ny hahavony, teo ambonin’ ny andry sedera efatra an-dalana mbamin’ ny sedera rairainy teo ambonin’ ny andry.
He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon— a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. There were four rows of cedar pillars that supported cedar beams.
3 Ary ireo efi-trano teo ambonin’ ny andry notafoany hazo sedera; ary ny isany dia dimy ambin’ ny folo isan’ an-dalana, ka dimy amby efa-polo izy rehetra.
The cedar roof of the house was on top of the beams that rested on the pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in each row.
4 Ary ny rairainy dia telo an-dalana, ary ny varavarankely dia nifanandrify intelo.
The windows were placed high up, in three rows facing each other.
5 Ary ny varavarana rehetra sy ny tolana dia natao efa-joro; ary ny varavarankely nifanandrify intelo.
All the doorways and door casings had rectangular frames, the openings facing each other in sets of three.
6 Ary dia nataony koa ny lavarangana maro andry; dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary telo-polo hakiho ny sakany; nisy koa ny lavarangana fidirana teo anoloany; ary nisy andry sy tokonana koa teo anoloan’ io.
He also had the Hall of Columns made—forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. It had a porch in front, its canopy also supported by columns.
7 Ary nataony koa ny lavarangana hitoeran’ ny seza fiandrianana izay hitsarany, dia ny lavarangana fitsarana; ary nataony hazo sedera avokoa ny gorodona rehetra.
The throne room where he sat as judge was called the Hall of Justice, lined with cedar panels from floor to ceiling.
8 Ary ny tranony izay nitoerany teo amin’ ny kianja hafa tao anatinatiny kokoa noho ny lavarangana fidirana dia nitovy rafitra tamin’ io koa. Ary Solomona nanao trano tahaka izany lavarangana fidirana izany koa ho an’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao, izay efa nampakariny ho vady.
Solomon's own palace where he lived was in a courtyard behind the porch, made in a similar way to the Temple. He also had a palace made for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he'd married.
9 Izany rehetra izany dia vato tsara avokoa voapaika araka ny marika, sady voatsofa ny atiny sy ny ivelany, hatramin’ ny fanambaniny ka hatramin’ ny tongolany, ary teo ivelany koa hatramin’ ny kianja lehibe.
All these buildings were built using stone blocks that were expensive to produce. They were cut to size and trimmed with saws on the inside and outside. These stones were used from the foundation to the eaves, from the outside of the building all the way to the great courtyard.
10 Ary vato tsara sady lehibe ny fanorenany, dia vato folo hakiho sy valo hakiho.
The foundations were laid with very large top-quality stones, between eight and ten cubits long.
11 Ary teo ambony nisy vato tsara voapaika araka ny marika sy hazo sedera;
On these were placed top-quality stones, cut to size, along with cedar timber.
12 ary manodidina ny kianja lehibe dia nasiany vato voapaika telo an-dalana sy hazo sedera iray an-dalana, tahaka ny amin’ ny kianja anatiny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana amin’ ny trano.
Around the great courtyard, the inner courtyard, and the porch of the Lord's Temple were three courses of dressed stone and a course of cedar beams.
13 Ary Solomona mpanjaka naniraka haka an’ i Hirama avy tany Tyro.
King Solomon sent for Hiram from Tyre.
14 Zanaky ny vehivavy mpitondra-tena tamin’ ny firenen’ i Naftaly izy, nefa rainy dia lehilahy Tyriana, mpiasa varahina; feno fahendrena sy fahiratan-tsaina ary fahaizana izy hahavitany ny asa varahina rehetra. Dia tonga tao amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka Hirama ka nanao izay asa rehetra tao aminy.
He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was from Tyre, a craftsman who worked in bronze. Hiram had great expertise, understanding and being familiar with all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and carried out all that the king required.
15 Dia nanao ny andry varahina roa izy: valo ambin’ ny folo hakiho avy ny hahavony, ary roa ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny manodidina azy.
He cast two columns in bronze. They were both eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 Ary nanao kapitaly varahina roa an-idina izy hatao eo amin’ ny tampon’ ny andry: dimy hakiho avy ny hahavony,
He also cast two capitals in bronze to place on top of the columns. Each capital was five cubits high.
17 ary harato sy fesitona miolana amin’ ny kapitaly izay teo amin’ ny tampon’ ny andry avy: fito amin’ ny kapitaly iray, ary fito koa amin’ ny kapitaly iray.
He made a network of lattice of interlinked chains for both capitals, seven for each one.
18 Ary nanao ny andry izy, ary nisy roa an-dalana manodidina tamin’ ny asa harato iray, hafono ny kapitaly izay teo an-tampon’ ny andry; ary toy izany koa no nataony tamin’ ny kapitaly iray.
Around the lattice network he made two rows of ornamental pomegranates to cover the capitals on the top of both the columns.
19 Ary ny kapitaly izay teo an-tampon’ ny andry dia nataony mitarehim-boninkazo lilia tahaka ny amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana, ary efatra hakiho ny hahavony;
The capitals placed on top of columns in the porch were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
20 ary ny kapitaly teo an-tampon’ ny andry roa dia teo ambony koa, teo akaikin’ ny kibony izay anatin’ ny harato; ary nisy sarin’ ampongabendanitra roan-jato nifanandalana nanodidina ny kapitaly avy.
On the capitals of both columns were the two hundred pomegranates in rows that encircled them, just above the rounded part that was next to the chain network.
21 Ary ny andry dia natsangany teo amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana amin’ ny efitra lehibe: ny andry ankavanana natsangany, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Jakina; ary ny andry ankavia natsangany koa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Boaza.
He erected the columns at the entrance porch of the Temple. The southern column he named Jachin, and the northern column he named Boaz.
22 Ary nisy natao mitarehim-boninkazo lilia teo an-tampon’ ny andry. Toy izany no nahavitany ny asa tamin’ ny andry.
The capitals on the columns were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the columns was finished.
23 Ary nanao ny tavin-drano an-idina boribory lehibe izy, ka folo hakiho no halehiben’ ny vavany ary dimy hakiho ny hahavony, ary telo-polo hakiho ny manodidina azy.
Then he made the Sea of cast metal. Its shape was circular, and measured ten cubits from edge to edge, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
24 Ary tambanin’ ny molotry ny tavin-drano lehibe manodidina nisy sarim-boantango manodidina azy, folo amin’ ny iray hakiho manodidina ny tavin-drano lehibe, ary naidiny ho roa an-dalana ny sarim-boantango sady niara-nataony an-idina tamin’ ny tavin-drano.
Below the edge it was decorated with ornamental gourds that encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around. They were in two rows cast as one piece with the Sea.
25 Ary ny tavin-drano dia nipetraka tambonin’ ny sarin’ omby roa ambin’ ny folo; ny telo nanatrika ny avaratra, ny telo nanatrika ny andrefana, ny telo nanatrika ny atsimo, ary ny telo nanatrika ny atsinanana; ary ny tavin-drano lehibe dia teo ambonin’ ireo, ary niady vody izy rehetra.
The Sea stood on twelve metal bulls. Three faced to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east. The Sea was placed on them, with their rears toward the center.
26 Ary ny hateviny dia vodivoam-pelatanana, ary ny molony nataony tahaka ny molotry ny kapoaka, dia tahaka ny vonin’ ny lilia; ary nahalany roa arivo bata izy.
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 two thousand baths.
27 Ary nanao ny fitoeran-tavin-drano varahina folo izy: efatra hakiho ny lavan’ ny anankiray, ary efatra hakiho koa ny sakany, ary telo hakiho ny hahavony.
He also made ten carts to carry basins. The carts measured four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28 Ary toy izao ny asa amin’ ireo fitoeran-tavin-drano ireo: nisy kobany izy, ary ireo kobany ireo dia teo anatin’ ny sisiny;
This is how they were put together: side panels were attached to uprights.
29 ary tamin’ ny kobany izay nohodidinin’ ny sisiny dia nisy sarin-diona sy omby ary kerobima; ary teo ambonin’ ny sisiny koa nisy faladiany; ary teo ambanin’ ny sarin-diona sy omby nisy fesitona mihantona.
Both the side panels and the uprights were decorated with lions, bulls, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and the bulls were decorative wreaths.
30 Ary isan’ ireo fitoeran-tavin-drano ireo nisy kodia varahina efatra sy tanan-kodia varahina, ary ny tongony efatra nisy sorony; teo ambanin’ ny tavin-drano no nisy ny sorony an-idina manandrify ny fesitona tsirairay.
Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. A basin rested on four supports that had decorative wreaths on each side.
31 Ary ny vavan’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano dia teo anatin’ ny kapitaliny, ary mbola nisy iray hakiho teo ambonin’ io; ary ny vavany dia hakiho iray sy tapany sady boribory tahaka ny amin’ ny faladia, ary tamin’ ny vavany koa nisy soratra, ary ny kobany teo aminy dia efajoro, fa tsy boribory.
At the top of each cart was a round opening like a pedestal to hold the basin. The opening was one cubit deep, and one and a half cubits wide. The opening had carvings around it. The panels of the cart were square, not round.
32 Ary ny kodia efatra dia teo ambanin’ ny kobany; ary ny fihazonana ny tanan-kodia dia nikambana tamin’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano ihany; ary hakiho iray sy tapany ny hahavon’ ny kodia.
The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the cart. Each wheel measured one and a half cubits in diameter.
33 Ary ny fomban’ ny kodia dia tahaka ny amin’ ny kodian-kalesy: ny tànany sy ny boriboriny manodidina azy sy ny tanamasoandrony ary ny foitrany dia nataony an-idina avokoa.
The wheels were made in the same way as chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all made by casting.
34 Ary nisy sorony efatra tamin’ ny zorony efatra amin’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano iray, sady nitranga avy teo amin’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano ireo.
Each cart had four handles, one on each corner, made as part of the stand.
35 Ary teo an-tampon’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano dia nisy boribory manodidina, irain-jehy ny hahavony; ary teo an-tampon’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano koa ny fitombenany sy ny kobany dia natao an-idina iray aminy.
There was a ring on the top of the cart a half cubit wide. The supports and panels were cast as one piece with the top of the cart.
36 Fa ny koban’ ny sorony sy ny kobany hafa nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima sy liona ary hazo rofia, araka izay nahafeno azy avy, sady nasiany fesitona manodidina.
He had designs of cherubim, lions, and palm trees engraved on the panels, supports, and frame, wherever there was space, with decorative wreaths all around.
37 Tahaka izany no nanaovany ny fitoeran-tavin-drano folo: samy natao an-idina avokoa, ary nitovy halehibe sy nitovy tarehy izy.
This is how he made the ten carts, with the same casts, size, and shape.
38 Ary nanao tavin-drano varahina folo koa izy; ny tavin-drano samy nahalany efa-polo bata avy; ary samy efatra hakiho avy ny tavin-drano; ary tavin-drano iray avy no tamin’ ny fitoerany folo.
Then he made ten bronze basins. Each one held forty baths and measured four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten carts.
39 Ary nametraka ny fitoeran-tavin-drano dimy teo ankavanan’ ny trano izy, ary ny dimy teo ankavian’ ny trano, ary ilay tavin-drano lehibe nataony teo ankavanan’ ny trano, dia teo atsimo-atsinanana.
He placed five carts on the south side of the Temple and five on the north side. He placed the Sea on the south side, by the southeast corner of the Temple.
40 Ary Hirama nanao ny tavin-drano sy ny sotron’ afo ary ny lovia famafazana; ka dia vitan’ i Hirama ny asa rehetra izay nataony ho an’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah:
He also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Hiram finished making everything required by King Solomon for the Temple of the Lord:
41 dia ny andry roa sy ny boriboriny roa amin’ ny kapitaly izay teny an-tampon’ ny andry roa, sy ny harato roa izay hafono ny boriboriny roa amin’ ny kapitaly izay teo an-tampon’ ny andry avy,
the two columns; the two capitals shaped like bowls on top the columns; the two chain networks that covered the bowls of the capitals on top of the columns;
42 ary ny sarin’ ampongabendanitra efa-jato ho amin’ ny harato roa, ampongabendanitra roa an-dalana ho amin’ ny harato iray hafono ny boriboriny roa amin’ ny kapitaly izay teny an-tampon’ ny andry avy,
the four hundred ornamental pomegranates for the chain networks (in two rows for the chain networks that covered the capitals on top of the columns);
43 ary ny fitoeran-tavin-drano folo sy ny tavin-drano folo ho eo ambonin’ ny fitoerany
the ten carts; the ten basins on the carts;
44 ary ny tavin-drano lehibe iray sy ny sarin’ omby roa ambin’ ny folo teo ambaniny.
the Sea; the twelve bulls under the Sea;
45 ary ny vilany fandraofan-davenona sy ny sotron’ afo ary ny lovia famafazana. Ary ireo fanaka rehetra ireo, izay nataon’ i Hirama ho an’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, dia varahina manganohano avokoa.
and the pots, shovels, and bowls. Everything that Hiram made for King Solomon in the Temple of the Lord was made of polished bronze.
46 Teo amin’ ny tany amoron’ i Jordana no nanaovan’ ny mpanjaka an-idina azy tamin’ ny tanimanga teo anelanelan’ i Sokota sy Zaretana.
The king had them cast in molds made of clay in the Jordan valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Ary tsy nolanjain’ i Solomona ny fanaka rehetra, satria be loatra izy; ary tsy nozahana izay lanjan’ ny varahina.
Solomon did not weigh anything that had been made because there was just so much—the weight of bronze used could not be measured.
48 Ary Solomona nanao ny fanaka rehetra izay ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah: ny alitara volamena sy ny latabatra volamena, izay fitoeran’ ny mofo aseho,
Solomon also had made all the items for the Temple of the Lord: the golden altar; the golden table where the Bread of the Presence was placed;
49 ary ny fanaovan-jiro, dimy amin’ ny ankavanana ary dimy amin’ ny ankavia, teo anoloan’ ny efitra anatiny, dia samy volamena tsara; ary ny voniny sy ny lela fanaovan-jiro ary ny hetin-jiro dia volamena koa;
the lampstands made of pure gold that stood in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left; the flowers, lamps, and tongs that were all made of pure gold;
50 ary ny vilia sy ny antsy sy ny lovia famafazana sy ny lovia kely sy ny fitoeran-davenon-jiro dia volamena tsara; ary ny vavin-tsavily ho amin’ ny lela-varavaran’ ny efitra anatiny, dia ny fitoerana masìna indrindra, sy ho amin’ ny lela-varavaran’ ny efi-trano lehibe dia volamena avokoa.
the basins, wick trimmers, bowls, ladles, and censers that again were all made of pure gold; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place, in addition to the doors of the main hall of the Temple.
51 Toy izany no nahavitana ny asa nataon’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ary nampidirin’ i Solomona ny zavatra izay efa nohamasinin’ i Davida rainy, dia ny volafotsy sy ny volamena ary ny fanaka, sa nataony tao amin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
In this way all King Solomon's work for the Temple of the Lord was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated, the special objects made of silver, the gold, and the Temple furnishings, and he placed them in the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord.
