1 Mpanjaka 6
1 Aa ie amy taom-paha-efajato-tsi-valompolo niavota’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane’ i Mitsraimey, amy taom-paha-efam-pifehea’ i Selomò Israeley, amy volantatakey, i volam-paharoey, ty namotorañe ty fañamboara’e i anjomba’ Iehovày.
Four hundred and eighty years after the Israelites left Egypt, in the fourth year of King Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv, Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord.
2 Ty anjomba rinanji’ i Selomò am’ Iehovà, ie kiho enem-polo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo ty am-pohe’e vaho kiho telopolo ty haabo’e.
The Temple King Solomon built for the Lord measured sixty cubits long by twenty cubits wide by thirty cubits high.
3 Ty lavaranga aolo’ i efe-bei’ i anjombay le roapolo kiho ty andava’e, mira ami’ty am-pohe’ i anjombay; vaho folo kiho ty am-pohe’e aolo’ i anjombay eo.
The entrance room at the front of the Temple was twenty cubits wide. It ran the whole width of the Temple and projected out ten cubits in front of the Temple.
4 Nandranjia’e lalan-kede i anjombay, bey ty ampohe’ ty añate’e naho maifitse ty alafe’e.
He had latticed windows made to be placed high up in the Temple.
5 Natratrañà’e o rindri’ i anjombaio mañarikatoke i anjombay, naho i efetse beiy vaho i efe-miavakey; aa le nandranjia’e efets’ efetse ty mañariary aze;
He also had a structure built against the outer wall of the Temple, both the outer and the inner sanctuary, to provide a series of side rooms.
6 o efetse ambaneo le kiho lime ty ampohe’e, naho enen-kiho ty añivo’e vaho kiho fito ty fahatelo’e; nandranjia’e soñy i rindriñe alafe’ i anjombay mañariary azey, soa tsy hifahatse amo rindri’ i anjombaio o manantañeo; amy te,
The ground floor measured five cubits wide, the first floor six cubits, and the second floor seven cubits. In addition he had offset ledges placed all the way around the outside, so that beams would not have to be inserted into the Temple walls.
7 ie narafitse i anjombay, le narafitse am-bato nihentseñeñe am-pihaliañe añe; vaho tsy nijanjiñeñe amy anjombay am-pandranjiañe aze ty ana-bato ndra fekoñe ndra haraotse viñe.
When the Temple was built the stones were finished at the quarry so that no noise from any hammer, ax, or any iron tool was heard in the Temple during construction.
8 Ty lala’ o mizakitse añ’ila ankavana’ i anjombaio, le nionjoñe am-panongañe nivanditse mb’amo mizakitse añivoo, vaho boak’ amy añivoy pak’ amy fahateloy.
The entrance to the ground floor was on the south side of the Temple. Stairs led to the first floor, and then on to the second floor.
9 Aa le rinanji’e i anjombay naho nifonira’e; vaho kinape’e varambañe naho boda mendoraveñe i anjombay.
So Solomon finished building the Temple, covering it with a roof made of cedar rafters and planks.
10 Le rinanji’e vatsa hañarikatoke i anjombay, songa kiho lime ty haabo’e; ie nirampy amy anjombay am-boda-mendoraveñe.
He built the external structure along the whole of the Temple. It was five cubits high, joined to the Temple with cedar joists.
11 Aa le niheo amy Selomò ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The Lord sent this message to Solomon, telling him,
12 O anjomba amboare’oo: ie añaveloa’o o fañèkoo naho anoe’o o nafepèkoo vaho hene ambena’o o lilikoo, hañaveloa’o, le hajadoko ama’o i entako nitsaraeko amy Davide rae’oy,
“About this Temple you are building: if you follow what I have said, fulfilling my requirements and keeping my commandments in what you do, I will keep the promise I made to your father David through you.
13 te himoneñe añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo iraho, vaho tsy haforintseko ondatiko Israeleo.
I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon Israel, my people.”
14 Aa le rinanji’ i Selomò i anjombay vaho nahafonitse.
Solomon finished building the Temple.
15 Le rinanji’e am-baramba mendoraveñe o rindriñe amy anjombaio boak’ an-tane pak’ an-tsazo’e ambane riha eo; le nilafiha’e hatae o añate’e iabio vaho nilafiha’e haradranto ty ambane eo.
He lined the walls with cedar panels from floor to ceiling and he covered the floor of the Temple with cypress boards.
16 Natratraña’e kiho roapolo ty amboli’ i anjombay, am-baramba mendoraveñe mifototse an-tane pak’ an-tapenake, nanoa’e efetse añate’e ao ho toem-pitsarañe, ho toetse masiñe do’e.
He sectioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the Temple with boards of cedar from floor to ceiling, making an inner sanctuary as the Most Holy Place.
17 I trañoy—i efetse aolo’ i masiñe do’eiy, le efa-polo kiho ty an-dava’e.
The main Temple in front of this room measured forty cubits long.
18 Sinokitse sarem-bebeke naho voñe miborake o mendoraveñe añate’ i anjombaio; ama’ mendoraveñe iaby izay, tsy nahaisaham-bato.
The cedar panels inside the Temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and open flowers. Everything was lined with cedar—none of the stone was visible.
19 Hinalanka’e amy anjombay i toe-miavakey, hampidona’e i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
He also had the inner sanctuary made within the Temple where the Ark of the Lord's Agreement would be placed.
20 Kiho roapolo ty andava’e miaolo i toe-miavakey, naho kiho roapolo ty am-pohe’e le kiho roapolo ty haabo’e, le nitemere’e volamena ki’e; napo’e ao ka ty kitrely, le sinaro’e mendoraveñe.
The inner sanctuary measured twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He had the interior covered with a coating with pure gold, as well as the altar of cedar.
21 Nitemere’ i Selomò am-bolamena ki’e ka i trañoy, naho kinazaza’e silisily volamena ty aolo’ i toe-miavakey vaho nandafiha’e volamena.
Solomon had the whole of the inside of the Temple covered with pure gold, He had gold chains stretched across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was also covered with gold.
22 Hene nitemere’e am-bolamena i trañoy, ampara’ te nifonitse i trañoy; vaho nipakora’e volamena iaby ty kitreli’ i toe-miavakey.
He covered the whole inside of the Temple with a coating of gold until it was all finished. He also covered with gold the entire altar for the inner sanctuary.
23 Nandranjia’e kerobe roe an-talý i toe-miavakey, songa kiho folo ty haabo’e.
He had two cherubim made out of olive wood for the inner sanctuary, each one ten cubits tall.
24 Kiho lime ty ela’ ty kerobe raike, naho kiho lime i ela ila’ey; kiho folo ty boak’an-dengon-ela’e raike pak’an-dengo’ i ila’ey.
Both wings of the cherub measured five cubits, making a total wingspan of ten cubits.
25 Nivelatse kiho folo ka i kerobe raikey, songa aman-jehe mira naho aman-kabey mira i kerobe roe rey.
The other cherub was also ten cubits tall, since they were identical both in size and shape.
26 Folo kiho ty haabo’ ty kerobe raike, mira ama’e ty ila’e.
Both cherubs were ten cubits tall.
27 Napo’e añivo’ i efetse añate’ey i kerobe rey, le nivelareñe ty ela’ o kerobeo naho nioza ami’ty rindriñe ty ela’ ty raike naho nioza an-drindriñe tandrife’e ka ty ela’ i kerobe raike vaho nifañoza añivo’ i efetsey ty lengon-ela’ iareo ila’e.
He had the cherubim placed inside the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Since their wings were fully spread, a wing of the first cherub touched one wall, a wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the Temple their wings touched.
28 Pinako’e am-bolamena i kerobe rey.
The cherubim were also covered with a gold coating.
29 Le nanokira’e sare kerobe naho satrañe mb’eo mb’eo amo rindri’ i anjombay iabio, vaho nandafiha’e voñe miborake añate’e naho alafe’e.
He had all the Temple walls, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
30 Nandafiha’e am-bolamena ka ty ambane’ i anjombay, i añate’ey naho i alafe’ey.
He also had the floor of the Temple floor covered with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
31 Nandranjia’e lalañe an-talý i toe-miavakey, ze napetak’ an-dahin-dalañe an-drirañe lime.
He had doors of olive wood made for the entrance to the inner sanctuary, together with a lintel and doorposts that had five sides.
32 Aman-talý i lalañe roe rey; le nanokira’e sare-kerobe naho satrañe vaho voñe miborake, le nipakora’e volamena o kerobeo naho o satrañeo.
These olive wood double doors had carved into them designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The cherubim and palm trees carvings were covered with beaten gold.
33 Izay ka ty nanoa’e i fimoahañe i anjombay, lahindalañe an-talý, an-drira’e efatse.
Similarly he had four-sided doorposts of olive wood made for the entrance to the sanctuary.
34 Haradranto i lalañe roe rey; miodikodiñ’ an-tsoavili’e ty lela roe ty lalañe raike, vaho miodiñe ka ty lela roe’ i lalañe ila’ey.
Its doors were made of cypress wood, each with two hinged panels.
35 Le nanokira’e kerobe naho satrañe naho voñe miborake vaho nipakora’e volamena natsifitse soa amy sinokitsey.
He had them carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and covered them with gold beaten evenly over the carvings.
36 Namboare’e am-bato nivañeñe telo sosoke naho soso’e raik’ am-boda mendoraveñe ty kiririsa añate’e.
Solomon had the inner courtyard built with three courses of dressed stone and one of cedar beams.
37 Ie am-bolan-tatak’ i taom-pah’ efatsey ty nampijadoñañe o mananta’ i anjomba’ Iehovàio;
The foundation of the Lord's Temple was laid in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv.
38 vaho ami’ty vatravatra, volam-paha-valo’ i taom-paha-folo-raik’ ambiy ty nahafonirañe i anjombay ami’ty lafi’e iaby ty amy ze hene nisafirieñe ama’ey. Aa le fito taoñe ty namboara’e aze.
The Temple was finished exactly as specified and planned in Solomon's eleventh year, in the eighth month, the month of Bul. So it took him seven years to build the Temple.
