1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu amane lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni koIsrayeli, ngenyanga kaZivi, eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ukwakha indlu yeNkosi.
Solomọn bidoro iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼọnwa Zif, bụ ọnwa nke abụọ nʼafọ nke anọ nke ịbụ eze ya. Ọ bụkwa nʼafọ nke mere ya narị afọ anọ na iri afọ asatọ site nʼoge ndị Izrel si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
2 Njalo indlu inkosi uSolomoni eyayakhela uJehova, ubude bayo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, lobubanzi bayo babungamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwayo kwakuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Ụlọnsọ nke eze Solomọn wuuru Onyenwe anyị dị iri mita abụọ na asaa nʼogologo, mita itoolu nʼobosara, ebe ịla elu ya dịkwa mita iri na anọ.
3 Lekhulusi phambi kwethempeli lendlu, ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, njengobubanzi bendlu, ububanzi balo babuzingalo ezilitshumi phambi kwendlu.
Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke dị nʼihu ụlọ ezumezu nke ụlọnsọ ahụ dị mita itoolu nʼogologo nke gbakwunyere ihe nʼobosara ụlọnsọ ahụ, dịrịkwa mita anọ na ọkara nʼobosara ya.
4 Njalo wayenzela indlu amawindi abanzi ngaphandle kulangaphakathi.
O meere ụlọnsọ ahụ oghereikuku kpara nkpa nʼime ma saa mbara nʼezi, nʼebe elu elu mgbidi ụlọ ahụ.
5 Futhi emdulini wendlu wakha amakamelo inhlangothi zonke, imiduli yendlu inhlangothi zonke, esenzela ithempeli lendawo yelizwi. Wenza lezindlwana eziseceleni inhlangothi zonke.
Nʼakụkụ mgbidi ụlọ ezumezu ahụ nakwa mgbidi nke ime ebe nsọ ahụ, o wuru okpukpu gburugburu ụlọ ahụ, nke nwere ọtụtụ ụlọ nta dị iche iche gbaa gburugburu.
6 Ikamelo elingaphansi kwawo wonke, ububanzi balo babuzingalo ezinhlanu, leliphakathi, ububanzi balo buzingalo eziyisithupha, lelesithathu, ububanzi balo buzingalo eziyisikhombisa. Ngoba ngaphandle kwendlu wenza izinciphiso inhlangothi zonke, ukuze imijabo ingagxunyekwa emidulwini yendlu.
Obosara okpukpu ụlọ nke dịkarịsịrị ala bụ mita abụọ na ọkara, obosara okpukpu nke ụlọ etiti dị mita atọ, otu a kwa, obosara okpukpu ụlọ nke atọ dị mita atọ na ọkara. Mgbe e wuru mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gburugburu, e wukwara ihe dịka aka nʼakụkụ mgbidi ahụ niile. Ọ bụ nʼelu ihe ndị a dịka aka ka e dokwasịrị osisi e ji wuo ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ka e ji gbochie ịmanye ihe ọbụla nʼaja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
7 Njalo indlu, isakhiwa, yakhiwa ngamatshe ayepheleliswe enkwalini, ukuze kungezwakali isando lehloka, loba yisiphi isikhali sensimbi endlini nxa isakhiwa.
Mgbe a na-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ọ bụ naanị nkume awara nke ọma nʼebe a nọ gwupụta ha ka eji wuo ya. O nweghị onye nụrụ ụzụ itipịa nkume, maọbụ ụzụ ịwa osisi, maọbụ ụdị mkpọtụ ahụ ngwa ọrụ mkpirisi igwe na-eme, nʼebe a nọ wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, mgbe a na-ewu ya.
8 Umnyango wendlwana eseceleni ephakathi wawusehlangothini lwesokunene lwendlu; njalo bakhwela ngesikhwelo esibhodayo ukuya kwengaphakathi, lokusuka kwengaphakathi kusiya kweyesithathu.
Ọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼọnụ ụlọ ndị dị nʼokpukpu ụlọ elu nke mbụ dị nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. E nwekwara ụzọ nrigo e wuru e si abanye nʼọnụ ụlọ ndị dị nʼokpukpu ndị dị nʼetiti. A na-esitekwa na nke a rigoro ruo na nke atọ.
9 Wayakha-ke indlu, wayiqeda; wagubuzela indlu ngentungo lamapulanka emisedari.
Mgbe o wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu a, Solomọn jiri ibe osisi na osisi dị obosara e si nʼosisi sida mepụta, wuo ihe mgbachị elu ụlọ ahụ.
10 Wasesakha izindlwana eceleni kwendlu yonke, ubude bazo buzingalo ezinhlanu, wakuxhuma endlini ngezigodo zemisedari.
O wuru ọtụtụ ọnụụlọ nta nʼakụkụ mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gburugburu. Ọ bụkwa osisi sida ka e ji jikọta mgbidi ụlọ ahụ na ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ. Ịdị elu nke ọbụla nʼime ha bụ mita abụọ na ọkara.
11 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuSolomoni lathi:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Solomọn ntị,
12 Mayelana lale indlu oyakhayo, uba uhamba ngezimiso zami, usenza izahlulelo zami, njalo ugcina yonke imilayo yami ukuhamba ngayo, ngizakwenza ilizwi lami kuwe engalikhuluma kuDavida uyihlo;
“Banyere ụlọnsọ ukwu a i na-ewu, ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe m gwara gị, gbasoo ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu, ma mezuo okwu m niile, aga m esite na gị mezuo nkwa ahụ m kwere nna gị Devid.
13 ngizahlala phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngingabatshiyi abantu bami uIsrayeli.
Aga m ebikwa nʼetiti ndị Izrel, agaghị m ahapụkwa ndị m, Izrel.”
14 Wayakha-ke uSolomoni indlu, wayiqeda.
Emesịa, Solomọn wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
15 Wasesakha imiduli yendlu ngaphakathi ngamapulanka emisedari, kusukela kuphansi lendlu kuze kufike emidulwini yophahla, wayembesa ngaphakathi ngezigodo, wendlala iphansi lendlu ngamapulanka amafiri.
O ji osisi sida dị obosara machie ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ site nʼakụkụ ala ruo nʼelu ya. E jikwa osisi junipa machie ala ụlọ ahụ niile.
16 Wasesakha izingalo ezingamatshumi amabili emaceleni endlu, ngamapulanka emisedari, kusukela kuphansi kwaze kwafika emidulwini; wayakhela ngaphakathi, esenzela indawo yelizwi, esenzela ingcwele yezingcwele.
O ji osisi sida kewapụta ihe ruru mita itoolu nʼazụ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, site nʼala ụlọ ahụ ruo nʼelu, nʼihi iwepụta site nʼụlọnsọ ahụ, ime ime ebe nsọ, nke bụ Ebe Kachasị Nsọ.
17 Lendlu, elithempeli, ngaphambili, yayizingalo ezingamatshumi amane.
Ụlọ ezumezu nke dị nʼihu ọnụụlọ a dị iri mita na asatọ.
18 Njalo umsedari wendlu ngaphakathi wawubazwe waba zinduku lamaluba avulekileyo; konke kwakungumsedari, kungabonakali litshe.
Ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ bụ osisi sida, nke a tụrụ ihe ọtụtụ nke oyiyi afụfa ọhịa na okoko osisi wasara awasa nʼelu ya. Ihe niile dị nʼime ụlọ ahụ bụ osisi sida, adịghị ahụ nkume ọbụla anya.
19 Waselungisa indawo yelizwi phakathi endlini ukubeka khona umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi.
Ọ kwadokwara ebe nsọ ahụ, ebe dị nʼime ime ụlọ ahụ, maka idebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ.
20 Lendawo yelizwi ephambili, ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwayo kuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; wayihuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo; wasesembesa ilathi ngomsedari.
Ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, dị mita iri nʼogologo, obosara ya dịkwa mita iri, ịdị elu ya dịkwa mita iri. O ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie ahụ ime ụlọ a niile, jiri osisi sida machie ebe nchụaja ya.
21 USolomoni waseyihuqa indlu ngaphakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo, wenza isehlukaniso ngamaketane egolide phambi kwendawo yelizwi, wasesihuqa ngegolide.
Solomọn ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie ahụ ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ gbatịrị ụdọ ọlaedo gafere nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, nke e jikwa ọlaedo machie.
22 Lendlu yonke wayihuqa ngegolide yaze yaphelela yonke indlu; lelathi lonke elisendaweni yelizwi walihuqa ngegolide.
Ya mere, o ji ọlaedo machie ime ya niile. O jikwa ọlaedo machie ebe ịchụ aja nke dịịrị ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ.
23 Endaweni yelizwi wasesenza amakherubhi amabili ngesihlahla somhlwathi, ukuphakama kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi ngalinye.
O mere cherubim abụọ, nke e ji osisi oliv tụọ nʼime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, ịdị elu nke ọbụla bụ mita ise.
24 Olunye uphiko lwekherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu, lolunye uphiko lwekherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu; kusukela ekucineni kolunye uphiko kusiya ekucineni kolunye uphiko kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi.
Cherub nke mbụ nwere nku abụọ, otu nku dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo, nku nke ọzọ dịkwa mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼogologo. Ya bụ, mita ise site na ụma isii, site nʼọnụ otu nku ruo nʼọnụ nku nke ọzọ.
25 Lelinye ikherubhi lalizingalo ezilitshumi; womabili amakherubhi ayeyisilinganiso sinye lesimo sinye.
Cherub nke abụọ dịkwa iri mita na ụma isii, nʼihi na cherubim abụọ ndị a bụ otu nʼọtụtụ nakwa nʼibu ibu.
26 Ukuphakama kwelinye ikherubhi kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi, lelinye ikherubhi lalinjalo.
Ịdị elu nke cherub ọbụla ruru mita ise na ụma isii.
27 Wasewabeka amakherubhi phakathi kwendlu engaphakathi; njalo amakherubhi elula impiko, kuze kuthi olunye uphiko lwathinta umduli, lophiko lwelinye ikherubhi lwathinta omunye umduli, lempiko zawo zathintana uphiko lophiko ngaphakathi kwendlu.
O tinyere cherubim ndị a nke gbasapụrụ nku ha nʼime ime Ebe Nsọ Kachasị Nsọ nke ụlọnsọ ukwu. Ọnụ ọnụ nke nku cherub ọbụla na-emetụ otu akụkụ ahụ ụlọ ahụ, ebe ọnụ ọnụ nke nku cherub ọbụla na-emetụ na nke ibe ya nʼetiti ọnụụlọ ahụ.
28 Wasewahuqa amakherubhi ngegolide.
O jiri ọlaedo machie cherubim ndị ahụ.
29 Wabaza imiduli yonke yendlu inhlangothi zonke ngemifanekiso ebaziweyo yamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo ngaphakathi langaphandle.
Nʼahụ aja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gbaa gburugburu, ma nʼime ọnụụlọ nke dị nʼime na ndị dị na mpụta, ka ọ pịkwasịrị oyiyi cherubim, osisi nkwụ na okoko osisi wara awa.
30 Iphansi lendlu waselihuqa ngegolide ngaphakathi langaphandle.
O jikwa ọlaedo machie ala ụlọ nke ọnụụlọ niile dị nʼime ụlọ, na ọnụụlọ ndị dị na mpụta ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
31 Emnyango wendawo yelizwi wenza izivalo zesihlahla somhlwathi, ikhothamo lemigubazi kulezinhlangothi ezinhlanu.
O ji osisi oliv mee ibo ọnụ ụzọ mbata nke ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, osisi ndị a bụ otu ụzọ nʼụzọ ise nke obosara ebe nsọ ahụ.
32 Lezivalo zombili zazingezesihlahla somhlwathi, wabaza kuzo imibazo yamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo, wazihuqa ngegolide, wakhandela igolide phezu kwamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala.
Nʼahụ ibo abụọ ahụ nke si nʼosisi oliv, ọ tụnyere oyiyi cherubim abụọ, igu nkwụ na okoko osisi wara awa. O ji ọlaedo etipịara etipịa machie oyiyi cherubim na igu nkwụ ndị ahụ.
33 Ngokunjalo wasesenzela umnyango wethempeli imigubazi yesihlahla somhlwathi, ezinhlangothini ezine.
Otu a kwa, o ji osisi oliv mee mbudo ibo ọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼụlọ ezumezu ahụ, nke bụ otu ụzọ na nkewa anọ nke obosara ụlọ ezumezu ahụ.
34 Lezivalo ezimbili zazingezezihlahla zamafiri; impiko zombili zesivalo esisodwa zazigoqeka, lezilenge ezimbili zesivalo sesibili zazigoqeka.
O jikwa osisi junipa mee ibo abụọ a na-emechikọta nʼotu.
35 Wasebaza kuzo amakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo, wakuhuqa ngegolide elendlala kuhle phezu kokubaziweyo.
Ọ pịrị oyiyi cherubim na oyiyi nkwụ, na oyiyi okoko osisi wara awa, jiri ọlaedo techie ibo ndị ahụ na oyiyi a pịkwasịrị ha.
36 Wasesakha iguma elingaphakathi ngemizila emithathu yamatshe abaziweyo, lomzila wemijabo yemisedari.
O wuru ogige nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ bụ ahịrị nkume atọ e doziri edozi na otu ahịrị osisi sida a kwachara nke ọma ka e ji wuo ogige a.
37 Ngomnyaka wesine isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi sabekwa, ngenyanga kaZivi.
Ọ bụ nʼọnwa Ziv, nʼafọ nke anọ, nke ịbụ eze Solomọn ka a tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
38 Kwathi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, enyangeni kaBuli, okuyinyanga yesificaminwembili, yaphela indlu ezintweni zayo zonke lanjengakho konke ukumiswa kwayo. Ngakho wayakha iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Ọ bụ nʼime afọ iri na otu, nʼọnwa Bul, ya bụ ọnwa nke asatọ, ka e wusiri ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼihe niile ya dịka ntụziaka e nyere si dị. Ọ bụ afọ asaa ka o weere ya i ji rụchaa ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
