1 Aa le namototse nandranjy i anjomba’ Iehovày e Ierosalaime ao t’i Selomò, an-kaboa’ i Morià, amy niboaha’ Iehovà amy Davide rae’ey; amy nihentseña’ i Davidey, an-tanem-pamofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Ie namototse namboatse amy andro faharoe’ ty volam-paha-roe’ i taom-paha-efam-pifehea’ey.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Zao o mananta napeta’ i Selomò amy namboareñe i anjomban’ Añahareio: ty andava’e, amy fanjeheañe haehaey, le kiho enempolo vaho kiho roapolo ty am-pohe’e.
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
4 I lavaranga aolo’ i anjombaiy, ty an­dava’e, mira amy ampohe’ i anjombaiy, kiho roapolo, le zato-tsi-roapolo ty haabo’e; vaho nipakora’e volamena ki’e.
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 Sinaro’e mendo­raveñe ty anjomba bey, le nipakora’e volamena soa vaho niravaha’e satrañe naho silisily.
He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 Mbore nihamine’e vatosoa i anjombay, le vola­mena boake Parvaime i volamenay.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
7 Nipa­kora’e volamena ka i anjom­bay, o boda’eo, o fimoaha’eo naho o rindri’eo naho o lala’eo; vaho nisokira’e kerobe o rindriñeo.
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 Le nandranjy i toetse loho masiñey, ty andava’e mira ami’ty ampohe’ i anjombaiy, kiho roapolo; naho kiho roapolo ty ampohe’e; vaho nipakora’e volamena soa, ami’ty talenta enen-jato.
Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Sekele volamena limampolo ka ty lanja’ o fantsikeo; vaho nipakora’e volamena o efetse amboneo.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
10 Nandranjia’e kerobe roe am-panokiram-bonga’e i toetse masiñey; le nipakora’ iareo volamena.
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Kiho roapolo ty fivelara’ i elan-kerobe rey; ty halava’ ty elan-kerobe: kiho lime, nitakatse ty rindri’ i trañoy; kiho lime ka i elatse raikey, nitakatse ty ela’ i kerobe ila’ey.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Ty ela’ i kerobe raikey ka, le kiho lime, nitakatse ty rindri’ i trañoy vaho kiho lime ka ty ela’e ila’e nitakatse ty ela’ i kerobe raikey.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 Nivelatse kiho roapolo i elan-kerobe rey; songa nijohañe am-pandia, sindre nitolike mb’ añate’e ty lahara’e.
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Nanoe’e ami’ty manga naho malòmavo naho mena mañabarà naho leny marera­­rera i lamba tsingarakarakey vaho nanoa’e sary kerobe.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
15 Le niranjie’e aolo’ i anjombay ty fahañe roe, kiho telopolo-lim’ amby ty haabo’e, songa kiho lime ty kapeke ambone’e.
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
16 Nandranjia’e silisily i toetse masiñey le nasam­pe’e ambone’ i fahañe rey; le nitse­ne’e voan-dagoa napetak’ amy silisily rey.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
17 Natroa’e aolo’ i anjombay i fahañe rey, ty raik’ am-pitàn-kavana naho ty raik’ ankavia; le nitokave’e ty hoe Iakine i ankavanay vaho Boaze ty añara’ i haviay.
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
