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 Yahweh at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to David his father. He prepared the place that David had planned for it, at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Ary nanomboka nanao ny trano izy tamin’ ny andro faharoa tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakany.
He began to build on 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 dimensions of the foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God. Using the old style cubit, the length was sixty cubits, and the width was 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.
The length of the portico at the front of the house was twenty cubits, matching the building's width. Its height was also twenty cubits, and Solomon overlaid its interior 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.
He fashioned the ceiling of the main hall with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold, and which he carved with palm trees and chains.
6 Ary noravahany vato soa koa ny trano; ary ny volamena dia volamena avy any Parvaima.
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold from 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 also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its 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
He built the most holy place. Its length matched the house's width, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. 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.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid its high surfaces 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.
He made two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen 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;
The wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits long all together; the wing of one cherub was five cubits long, reaching to the wall of the room; 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.
The wing of the other cherub was also five cubits, reaching to the wall of the room; its other wing was also five cubits, touching the wing of the first 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 cherubs spread a total of twenty cubits. The cherubs stood on their feet, with their faces toward the main hall.
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.
He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs on it.
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.
Solomon also made two pillars, each thirty-five cubits high, for in front of the house; the capitals that were on the top of them were five cubits high.
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.
He made chains for the pillars and put them on top of them; he also made one hundred pomegranates and joined them to 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.
He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; he named the pillar on the right Jakin, and the pillar on the left Boaz.
