1 Mpanjaka 7
1 Ary telo ambin’ ny folo taona no nanaovan’ i Solomona ny lapany, dia vita.
Solomon took thirteen years to build his own 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 Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.
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 house was roofed with cedar that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.
4 Ary ny rairainy dia telo an-dalana, ary ny varavarankely dia nifanandrify intelo.
There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.
5 Ary ny varavarana rehetra sy ny tolana dia natao efa-joro; ary ny varavarankely nifanandrify intelo.
All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.
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.
There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.
7 Ary nataony koa ny lavarangana hitoeran’ ny seza fiandrianana izay hitsarany, dia ny lavarangana fitsarana; ary nataony hazo sedera avokoa ny gorodona rehetra.
Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
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 house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
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.
These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.
10 Ary vato tsara sady lehibe ny fanorenany, dia vato folo hakiho sy valo hakiho.
The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.
11 Ary teo ambony nisy vato tsara voapaika araka ny marika sy hazo sedera;
Above were costly hewn stones precisely cut to size, and cedar beams.
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.
The great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.
13 Ary Solomona mpanjaka naniraka haka an’ i Hirama avy tany Tyro.
King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him 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.
Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.
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.
Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each 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 made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.
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.
Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
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.
So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.
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 on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with 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.
The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
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 raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz.
22 Ary nisy natao mitarehim-boninkazo lilia teo an-tampon’ ny andry. Toy izany no nahavitany ny asa tamin’ ny andry.
On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.
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.
Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was 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.
Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.
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 oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
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.
The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water.
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.
Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.
28 Ary toy izao ny asa amin’ ireo fitoeran-tavin-drano ireo: nisy kobany izy, ary ireo kobany ireo dia teo anatin’ ny sisiny;
The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames,
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.
and on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.
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.
Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one.
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.
The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels 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 underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
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 forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
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.
There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.
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.
In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.
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.
On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.
37 Tahaka izany no nanaovany ny fitoeran-tavin-drano folo: samy natao an-idina avokoa, ary nitovy halehibe sy nitovy tarehy izy.
He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same 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.
Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of ten stands.
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 made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south 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:
Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:
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 pillars, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
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,
He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);
43 ary ny fitoeran-tavin-drano folo sy ny tavin-drano folo ho eo ambonin’ ny fitoerany
the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.
44 ary ny tavin-drano lehibe iray sy ny sarin’ omby roa ambin’ ny folo teo ambaniny.
He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its twelve oxen under it;
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.
also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.
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 cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground 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 all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze 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 had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be 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, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of 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.
Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and for 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 the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
