1 Mpanjaka 7
1 Taoñe folo-telo amby ka ty nandranjia’ i Selomò i anjomba’ey le hene nifonire’e i anjomba’ey.
However, it took Solomon thirteen years to finish building the whole of his palace.
2 Namboare’e ka ty anjomban’ ala’ i Lebanone, kiho zato ty andava’e naho kiho limampolo ty am-pohe’e, vaho kiho telopolo ty haabo’e; nitohaña’ o fahañe mendoraveñe miriritse iñ-efatseo o sazoke mendoraveñeo.
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 Nandafihañe mendoraveñe ty ambone’ o efetse alafe’e nitohaña’ i ana-koreñe efa-polo-lime amby am-piririta’e folo-lime amby rey.
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 Le nidadañe am-piriritañe telo o lalan-kedeo, naho hazavàñe ty niatre-kazavàñe am-pifamalahàñañe telo.
The windows were placed high up, in three rows facing each other.
5 Songa efa-mira o lalañeo naho o lahin-dala’eo, le nifampiatrek’ am-piririta’e telo nifamalahañe.
All the doorways and door casings had rectangular frames, the openings facing each other in sets of three.
6 Namboare’e ka ty lampalampan’ ana-koreñe, kiho limampolo ty andava’e le kiho telopolo ty am-pohe’e; lavaranga ty am-pimoahañe; vaho aolo’ iareo o ana-koreñe naho boda’e lahi’eo.
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 Namboare’e ty lampalampam-piambesatse hizakà’e, i lampalampam-pizakàñey; vaho nandafihañe mendoraveñe boak’ an-gorodo’e pak’ an-gorodo’e.
The throne room where he sat as judge was called the Hall of Justice, lined with cedar panels from floor to ceiling.
8 An-kiririsa am-boli’ i lampalampay i anjomba fimoneña’ey, ie hamban-tsata; namboara’e anjomba manahake izay ka i anak’ ampela’ i Parò nengae’ i Selomòy;
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 sindre am-batosoa, linily ami’ ty zehe’e, tinampa’ ty alasý, añate’e naho alafe’e, boak’amo manantañeo pak’ an-tsazoke, ie ka ty alafe’e pak’ amy kiririsa jabajabay.
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 Nanoeñe vatosoa o manantañeo, vato ra’elahy, vato kiho folo vaho vato kiho valo.
The foundations were laid with very large top-quality stones, between eight and ten cubits long.
11 Vato sarotse ka ty ambone eo, songa rinamerame an-jehe’e o vatoo vaho o mendoraveñeo.
On these were placed top-quality stones, cut to size, along with cedar timber.
12 Vato hinaly nizakitse, telo mifaningitse ty nañariary i kiririsa jabajabay, le firiritam-boda-mendoraveñe ty ambone’e, manahake i an-kiririsa añate’ i anjomba’ Iehovày naho an-davaranga’ i anjombaiy.
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 Nampañitrife’ i Selomò boake Tsore t’i Kirame,
King Solomon sent for Hiram from Tyre.
14 ana’ ty vantotse fifokoa’ i Naftalý; boak’e Tsore ty rae’e, mpitoloñe torisike, lifo-kihitse naho hilala vaho faharendrehañe amy ze hene fitoloñañe torisike. Aa le nomb’ amy Selomò mb’eo re vaho nanoe’e iaby o fitoloña’eo.
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 Niranjie’e ty fahañe roe torisike, songa kiho folo-valo’ amby ty haabo’e naho niarikatoha’ ty talý kiho folo-ro’amby.
He cast two columns in bronze. They were both eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 Namboare’e loha’e torisike natranake, hasampe amy fahañe rey, kiho lime ty haabo’ ty loha’e raike, vaho kiho lime ty haabo’ ty loha’ i ila’ey.
He also cast two capitals in bronze to place on top of the columns. Each capital was five cubits high.
17 Nanoañe harato tsingarakarake, niravahañe silisily navandibanditse i loham-pahañe rey, fito ami’ty loha’e raike naho fito ami’ty loha’e raike.
He made a network of lattice of interlinked chains for both capitals, seven for each one.
18 Ie nifonire’e i fahañe rey le nitsene sare dagoa mitoitoy an-tali’e roe mifamandibanditse amy tsingarakarakey, nandafihañe dagoa ty loha ambone’ i fahañey vaho nanoe’e hambañe amy izay i loham-pahañe raikey.
Around the lattice network he made two rows of ornamental pomegranates to cover the capitals on the top of both the columns.
19 O lohà’e nasampe amy fahañe rey ro nanoañe saren-talìfoke manahake o an-dampalampao, kiho efatse ty haabo’e.
The capitals placed on top of columns in the porch were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
20 Ty amy lima mihohok’ an-dengo’ i fahañe roe rey, le voan-dagoa roan-jato nifanoitoy miarikatoke marine’ i famitrañañe azey, añ’ ila’ i tsingarakarakey.
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 Natroa’ i Kirame an-davarangam-piziliha’ i anjombay i fahañe rey; najado’e an-kavàna eo ty fahañe raike le nitokave’e ty hoe Iakine ty añara’e; vaho natroa’e ankavia’e ty fahañe ila’e le natao’e Boaze ty añara’e.
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 Asa talifoke ty ambone’ i fahañe rey; aa le nifonitse ty fitoloñañe amy fahañe rey.
The capitals on the columns were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the columns was finished.
23 Niranjie’e sajoa natranake, kiho folo boak’ an-tsoñi’e pak’ an-tsoñi’e, bontoly, lime kiho ty haabo’e, naho telopolo kiho ty nañariary aze.
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 Trongotrongoeñe hoe bereke ty niarikatok’ aze ambane’ i soñi’ey, folo ami’ty kiho’e raike, naho nañariary i sajoay am-piriritañe roe i trongotrongoeñey, natrao-pitranake amo ila’eo.
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 Sare añombe folo-ro’ amby ty nitoboha’e, telo ty nitolik’ avaratse naho telo ty nitolik’ ahandrefa naho telo ty nitolik’ atimo vaho telo ty nitolik’ atiñanañe; najo’e ambone’ iereo i sajoay, ty voli’ iareo añivo’e ao.
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 Ampohem-pitàñe ty hateve’e; le rinanjy hoe soñim-pitovy i soñi’ey, manahake ty voñen-talìfoke; ro’arivo bate ty nahaatsek’ aze.
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 Niranjie’e kalesy torisike folo, sindre kiho efatse ty an-dava’ ty kalesy naho kiho efatse ty am-pohe’e vaho kiho telo ty haabo’e.
He also made ten carts to carry basins. The carts measured four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28 Zao ty nisata’ i kalesy rey: nasiañe lifi’e naho nilifieñe i endraendra fikalañe añivo o tsotsò’eoy.
This is how they were put together: side panels were attached to uprights.
29 Liona naho añombe naho kerobe ty tamo endraendra añivo’ o tsotsò’eo. Ambone’ o tsotsò’eo ty fanampezañe; vaho ambane’ o liona naho añombeo ty nitemerañe am-pipepehañe.
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 Songa aman-darò torisike efatse i kalesy rey, le torisike ka o asì’eo naho ty fitohañañe efatse; nikalañe ty koveta i fitohañañe nitranaheñe rey, endrendra pinepeke o añ’ila’eo.
Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. A basin rested on four supports that had decorative wreaths on each side.
31 Kiho raike boak’ an-tsotsò’e ty haabo’ i vava’ey, bontoly izay, satam-pitobohan-koveta, kiho raike naho tampa’e; sinokitsokitse; efa-mira ty alafe’e, fa tsy bontoly.
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 Ambane’ i endraendray i larò’e efatse rey, le am-poto’ i kalesiy ty asì’ o larò’eo; kiho raike naho tampa’e ty haabo’ ty larò’e.
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 Hambañe ami’ty satan-daròn-tsarete ty sata’ i larò rey, songa nitranaheñe o asì’eo, o bandazeo, o tañamasoandro’eo vaho o boate’eo.
The wheels were made in the same way as chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all made by casting.
34 Reketse fitohañañe efatse ty kotso-efa’ i kalesy rey, raik’ amo kalesio o fitohañañeo.
Each cart had four handles, one on each corner, made as part of the stand.
35 Ambone’ i kalesiy ty hàlañe bontoly, tapa-kiho ty haabo’e; raik’ ami’ty ambone’ i kalesiy o taña’eo naho o lifi’eo.
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 Nanokira’e kerobe naho liona naho satrañe o endraendran-tsotsò’eo naho an-difi’e, amy ze nalalak’ ama’e, vaho tali-randra ty niariary aze.
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 Amy sata zay ty nandranjie’e ty kalesy folo, songa lima raike naho zehe mira vaho hambam-bintañe.
This is how he made the ten carts, with the same casts, size, and shape.
38 Namboara’e koveta torisike folo; bate efapolo ty nahaatseke ty koveta raike; sambe kiho efatse i koveta rey; ambone’ i kalesy folo rey songa koveta raike.
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 Napo’e an-kavana’ i anjombay ty kalesy lime, naho lime ty ankavia’ i anjombay; le najado’e ankavana’ i anjomba atiñanañey mañatimo i sajoay.
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 Nitsenè’ i Kirame o valàñeo, o endraendra’eo naho o kovetao. Aa le nifonire’ i Kirame i fitoloñañe nanoe’e ho a i Selomò mpanjaka añ’anjomba’ Iehovày;
He also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Hiram finished making everything required by King Solomon for the Temple of the Lord:
41 i fahañe roe rey; i lima roe an-doha’e ambone’ o faha’eo rey; naho i tsingarakarake roe nanaroñe i lima roe an-doha’e ambone’ o faha’eo reiy;
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 naho i voan-dagoa efa-jato amy tsingarakarake roe reiy, dagoa indroe mitoitoy ami’ty tsingarakarake raike hanakonañe i lima roe an-doha’e ambone’ i fahañe reiy;
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 naho i kalesy folo rey naho i koveta folo ambone’ o kalesio rey;
the ten carts; the ten basins on the carts;
44 naho i riakey naho i añombe folo-ro’ amby ambane’ i riakey rey;
the Sea; the twelve bulls under the Sea;
45 naho o valàñeo, o endraendrao, vaho o kovetao; hene niranjie’ i Kirame ho a i Selomò mpanjaka, añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, songa torisike rinamerame.
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 Amonto’ Iordaney ty nampitranaha’ i mpanjakay iareo, an-tane lietse añivo’ i Sokote naho i Tsaretane.
The king had them cast in molds made of clay in the Jordan valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Le nenga’ i Selomò tsy ho lanjaeñe i fanake iaby izay amy t’ie niloho maro; tsy nilefe tsikaraheñe ty lanja’ o torisikeo.
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 Hene niranjie’ i Selomò o fanak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovào; i kitrely volamenay, naho i rairay volamena fasia-mofom-piatrefañey;
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 o fitàn-jiroo—lime ty ankavana’e naho lime ty ankavia’e añatrefa’ i toe-miavakey— volamena ki’e; naho o voñeo, o failoo, vaho o fikavitseo—volamena;
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 o soakazoo naho o fiharatan-tsokotsokoo naho o kovetao naho o sadròn’ afoo naho o endraendrao—volamena ki’e; naho o soavilio, ho amo lalan-kivoho añate’eo, i toetse loho-miavakey, vaho ho a o lala’ i akibaio (o miatrek’ añate’eo)—volamena.
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 Aa le nifonitse o fitoloñañe nanoe’ i Selomò añ’anjomba’ Iehovào. Le hene nendese’ i Selomò ao o raha navì’ i Davide rae’eo, i volafotiy, i volamenay naho o fanakeo; vaho napo’e amy fanontonam-baran’ anjomba’ Iehovày.
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.
