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 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 Ie namototse namboatse amy andro faharoe’ ty volam-paha-roe’ i taom-paha-efam-pifehea’ey.
He began to build 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.
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 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 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 Sinaro’e mendo­raveñe ty anjomba bey, le nipakora’e volamena soa vaho niravaha’e satrañe naho silisily.
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 Mbore nihamine’e vatosoa i anjombay, le vola­mena boake Parvaime i volamenay.
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold 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 also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its 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.
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 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 overlaid its high surfaces with gold.
10 Nandranjia’e kerobe roe am-panokiram-bonga’e i toetse masiñey; le nipakora’ iareo volamena.
He made two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen 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 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 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 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 Nivelatse kiho roapolo i elan-kerobe rey; songa nijohañe am-pandia, sindre nitolike mb’ añate’e ty lahara’e.
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 Nanoe’e ami’ty manga naho malòmavo naho mena mañabarà naho leny marera­­rera i lamba tsingarakarakey vaho nanoa’e sary kerobe.
He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs on 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.
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 Nandranjia’e silisily i toetse masiñey le nasam­pe’e ambone’ i fahañe rey; le nitse­ne’e voan-dagoa napetak’ amy silisily rey.
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 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.
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.
