2 Tantara 3

1 Ary Solomona nanomboka nanao ny tranon’ i Jehovah tany Jerosalema, tao an-tendrombohitra Moria, ilay nisehoan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida rainy, dia ilay namboarina teo amin’ ny fitoerana nofidin’ i Davida teo amin’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita.

Then Solomon began to build the house of YHWH at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where YHWH appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 Ary nanomboka nanao ny trano izy tamin’ ny andro faharoa tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakany.

And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

3 Ary toy izao no nanorenan’ i Solomona ny tranon’ Andriamanitra: Ny lavany, raha araka ny hakiho taloha, dia enim-polo hakiho, ary ny sakany roa-polo hakiho.

Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of Elohim. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

4 Ary ny amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana izay teo anoloany, ny lavany dia roa-polo hakiho, dia araka ny sakan’ ny trano ihany, ary ny hahavony dia roa-polo amby zato hakiho; ary nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara ny ao anatiny.

And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

5 Ary ny ati-trano lehibe nopetahany hazo kypreso, dia vao nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara ireo ary noravahany hazo rofia sy tongalika.

And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

6 Ary noravahany vato soa koa ny trano; ary ny volamena dia volamena avy any Parvaima.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

7 Ary nopetahany takela-bolamena ny trano, dia ny rairainy sy ny tokonany sy ny rindriny ary ny lela-varavarany; ary nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima ny rindrina.

He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.

8 Ary nanao ny efi-trano masìna indrindra izy: ny lavany dia roa-polo hakiho mifanerana amin’ ny sakan’ ny trano, ary roa-polo hakiho koa ny sakany; ary nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara talenta enin-jato izy

And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

9 Ary ny lanjan’ ny hombo volamena dia sekely dimam-polo. Ary ny efi-trano ambony nopetahany volamena koa.

And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 Ary tao amin’ ny efi-trano masìna indrindra dia nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima roa, ary nosokiriny no nanaovany azy, dia nopetahany takela-bolamena.

And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

11 Ny halavan’ ny elatry ny kerobima dia roa-polo hakiho: ny elatry ny anankiray dia dimy hakiho, mipaka amin’ ny rindrina; ary ny elany iray koa dimy hakiho sady mifanendry amin’ ny elatry ny kerobima anankiray;

And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

12 ary ny elatry ny kerobima anankiray koa dia dimy hakiho, mipaka amin’ ny rindrina; ary ny elany iray koa dimy hakiho sady mifanendry amin’ ny elatry ny kerobima anankiray.

And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

13 Nivelatra ny elatr’ ireo kerobima ireo, ka roa-polo hakiho ny halavany; nijoro tamin’ ny tongony, tarehiny nanatrika ny trano.

The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

14 Ary izy nanao ny efitra lamba tamin’ ny manga sy volomparasy sy jaky sy rongony fotsy madinika; ary nataony sarin’ ny kerobima ny sorany.

And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.

15 Ary nanao andry roa teo anoloan’ ny trano izy; dimy amby telo-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary ny kapitaly teo an-tampony dia dimy hakiho ary.

Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

16 Ary nanao tongalika tao amin’ ny efitra anatiny izy, ka nataony teo an-tampon’ ny andry ireo; ary nanao sarin’ apongaben-danitra zato izy, ka nataony teo amin’ ny tongalika ireo.

And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

17 Ary ny andry natsangany teo anoloan’ ny tempoly, ny iray tamin’ ny ankavanana, ary ny iray tamin’ ny ankavia; ary ny anaran’ ny teo amin’ ny ankavanana nanao ny hoe Jakina, ary ny anaran’ ny teo amin’ ny ankavia kosa natao hoe Boaza.

And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
