1 Amakhosi 7
1 Kodwa indlu yakhe uSolomoni wayakha iminyaka elitshumi lantathu, wayiqeda yonke indlu yakhe.
And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house; and he finished all his house.
2 Wasesakha indlu yegusu leLebhanoni; ubude bayo babuzingalo ezilikhulu, lobubanzi bayo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lokuphakama kwayo kuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, phezu kwemizila emine yensika zemisedari, lemijabo yemisedari phezu kwezinsika.
And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar-pillars, with cedar-beams upon the pillars;
3 Yayifulelwe ngemisedari phezulu, phezu kwemijabo, eyayiphezu kwensika ezingamatshumi amane lanhlanu, ezilitshumi lanhlanu emzileni.
and it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, which were on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 Njalo kwakulemizila emithathu yamawindi, ukukhanya kuqondene lokukhanya, kathathu.
And there were cross-beams in three rows, and window was against window in three ranks.
5 Layo yonke iminyango lemigubazi yayilingana inhlangothi zozine, lamawindi, njalo ukukhanya kuqondene lokukhanya, kathathu.
And all the doors and posts were square, with an architrave; and window was against window in three ranks.
6 Wasesenza ikhulusi lezinsika, ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi balo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu; lekhulusi laliphambi kwazo, lezinsika lombundu phambi kwazo.
And he made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and there was a porch in front of them; and there were pillars, and steps in front of them.
7 Wasesenza ikhulusi elesihlalo sobukhosi lapho ahlulela khona, ikhulusi lesahlulelo, lalembeswe ngemisedari kusukela kuphansi kusiya kuphansi.
And he made the porch for the throne where he judged, the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
8 Lendlu yakhe lapho ayehlala khona yayilelinye iguma ngaphakathi kwekhulusi, esetshenzwe ngokufananayo. Wenzela njalo indodakazi kaFaro, uSolomoni ayeyithethe, indlu, njengalelikhulusi.
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. And he made, like to this porch, a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken.
9 Zonke lezi zazingezamatshe aligugu abazwe ngokwesilinganiso, asahwe ngesaha ngaphakathi langaphandle, ngitsho kusukela esisekelweni kusiya ematsheni aphezulu, njalo ngaphandle kuze kube segumeni elikhulu.
All these [buildings] were of costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside as far as the great court.
10 Njalo yayisekelwe ngamatshe aligugu, amatshe amakhulu, amatshe engalo ezilitshumi, lamatshe engalo eziyisificaminwembili;
And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.
11 langaphezulu kwakulamatshe aligugu, abazwe ngokwesilinganiso, lemisedari.
And above were costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, and cedar.
12 Leguma elikhulu inhlangothi zonke lalilemizila emithathu yamatshe abaziweyo, lomzila wemijabo yemisedari. Kwakunjalo ngeguma elingaphakathi lendlu yeNkosi, langekhulusi lendlu.
And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar-beams; and so it was for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.
13 Inkosi uSolomoni yasithuma yathatha uHiramu evela eTire.
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 Yena wayeyindodana yowesifazana umfelokazi, wesizwe sakoNafithali, loyise wayengumuntu weTire, ingcitshi ekubazeni ithusi; njalo wayegcwele inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa elolwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi ngethusi; weza enkosini uSolomoni, wenza wonke umsebenzi wakhe.
He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was full of wisdom and understanding and knowledge, to do all kinds of works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and made all his work.
15 Wasebumba insika ezimbili zethusi; ubude benye insika babuzingalo ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili, lentambo ezingalo ezilitshumi lambili yagombolozela insika yesibili.
And he formed the two pillars of brass; the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed the second pillar.
16 Wenza futhi iziduku ezimbili zethusi elincibilikisiweyo ukubeka phezu kwezihloko zezinsika; ukuphakama kwesiduku esisodwa kwakuzingalo ezinhlanu, lokuphakama kwesinye isiduku kwakuzingalo ezinhlanu.
And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits;
17 Amambule angumsebenzi oyisixhobexhobe, intambo eziphothiweyo zazingumsebenzi wamaketane, kusenzela iziduku eziphezu kwezihloko zezinsika; eziyisikhombisa esidukwini esisodwa, leziyisikhombisa kwesinye isiduku.
[and] nets of checker-work, wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.
18 Wenza-ke insika zombili, imizila emibili izingelezela phezu kwembule eyodwa, ukwembesa iziduku ezisesihlokweni samapomegranati; wenza njalo lakwesinye isiduku.
And he made pomegranates, namely two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars; and so he did for the other capital.
19 Leziduku ezazisesihlokweni sensika zazingumsebenzi womduze ekhulusini, ingalo ezine.
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily-work [as] in the porch, four cubits.
20 Njalo iziduku zazisezinsikeni ezimbili, langaphezulu maqondana lesisu, esingasemambuleni; lamapomegranati angamakhulu amabili ayesemizileni ezingelezeleyo, phezu kwesinye isiduku.
And the capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close to the enlargement which was behind the network, had two hundred pomegranates in rows round about, [also] on the other capital.
21 Wasemisa izinsika ekhulusini lethempeli; esemise insika yangakwesokunene wabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi nguJakini; esemise insika yangakwesokhohlo wabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi nguBhowazi.
And he set up the pillars for the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
22 Laphezu kwesihloko sezinsika kwakulomsebenzi womduze. Waphela-ke umsebenzi wezinsika.
And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; and the work of the pillars was finished.
23 Wasesenza ulwandle oluncibilikisiweyo, luzingalo ezilitshumi kusukela emphethweni kusiya emphethweni, luzingelezele luyisigombolozi, lokuphakama kwalo luzingalo ezinhlanu, lomzila ozingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu waluzingelezela ulugombolozela.
And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.
24 Ngaphansi komphetho walo kwakukhona amaqhaga eluzingelezele alugombolozela, alitshumi engalweni, ezingelezele ulwandle alugombolozela; imizila emibili yamaqhaga yabunjwa ngokuncibilikisa ekubunjweni kwalo ngokuncibilikisa.
And under the brim of it round about there were colocynths, encompassing it, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about; two rows of colocynths, cast when it was cast.
25 Lwema phezu kwenkabi ezilitshumi lambili; ezintathu zikhangele enyakatho, lezintathu zikhangele entshonalanga, lezintathu zikhangele eningizimu, lezintathu zikhangele empumalanga, lolwandle lwaluphezu kwazo phezulu, lazo zonke ingemuva zazo zazingaphakathi.
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 Njalo ububanzi balo babuyibubanzi besandla, lomphetho walo wawunjengomphetho wenkezo, njengeluba lomduze; lwalumumethe amabhathi azinkulungwane ezimbili.
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; it held two thousand baths.
27 Wenza lezisekelo ezilitshumi zethusi; ubude besisekelo esisodwa babuzingalo ezine, lobubanzi baso buzingalo ezine, lokuphakama kwaso kuzingalo ezintathu.
And he made ten bases of brass: four cubits was the length of one base, and the breadth four cubits, and the height three cubits.
28 Lalokhu kwakungumsebenzi wesisekelo: Zazilemiphetho, njalo imiphetho yayiphakathi kwezinhlanganiso;
And the work of the bases was this: they had panels, and the panels were between the fillets.
29 lemiphethweni ephakathi kwezinhlanganiso kwakulezilwane, izinkabi, lamakherubhi. Laphezu kwezinhlanganiso kwakulesisekelo ngaphezulu, njalo ngaphansi kwezilwane lezinkabi kwakulezinkatha zomsebenzi okhandiweyo.
And on the panels that were between the fillets were lions, oxen and cherubim; and over the fillets there was a base above; and beneath the lions and oxen were garlands of festoon-work.
30 Lesisekelo sinye sasilamavili ethusi amane lamaphini ethusi; lamagumbi aso amane ayelamahlombe; ngaphansi kwenditshi yokugezela kwakulamahlombe abunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, eceleni kwaleyo laleyo inkatha.
And every base had four wheels of brass, and axles of brass; and on its four corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laver were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland.
31 Lomlomo waso phakathi kwesiduku langaphezulu wawuyingalo, lomlomo wawo wawuyisigombolozi, njengomsebenzi wesisekelo, uyingalo lengxenye; futhi laphezu komlomo wawo kwakulokubaziweyo; njalo imiphetho yayo yayizinhlangothi ezine ezilinganayo, hatshi isigombolozi.
And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit; and its mouth was rounded, [as] the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth was sculpture; but their panels were square, not round.
32 Lamavili amane ayengaphansi kwemiphetho, lama-ekseli amavili ayesesisekelweni; lokuphakama kwevili elilodwa kwakuyingalo lengxenye yengalo.
And the four wheels were under the panels; and the supports of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 Njalo umsebenzi wamavili wawunjengomsebenzi wevili lenqola: Ama-ekseli awo lamasongo awo lezipokisi zawo lamahabha awo kwakubunjwe ngokuncibilikisa.
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.
34 Njalo kwakulamahlombe amane emagumbini womane esisekelo esisodwa; amahlombe aso avela esisekelweni.
And there were four shoulder-pieces to the four corners of one base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces.
35 Laphezu kwesihloko sesisekelo kwakulokuphakama okuyisigombolozi okuyingxenye yengalo inhlangothi zonke; laphezu kwesihloko sesisekelo kwakulezisekelo zaso lemiphetho yaso, kuvela kuso.
And in the top of the base there was a circular elevation of half a cubit round about; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
36 Laphezu kwezibhebhe zezisekelo zaso laphezu kwemiphetho yaso wabaza amakherubhi lezilwane lezihlahla zamalala, njengendawo yakho yonke engelalutho, lezinkatha inhlangothi zonke.
And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its panels cherubim, lions and palm-trees, according to the space upon each; and garlands were round about.
37 Wazenza ngokunjalo izisekelo ezilitshumi; zonke zazilokubunjwa kunye, isilinganiso sinye, isimo sinye.
After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, one form.
38 Wasesenza inditshi zokugezela zethusi ezilitshumi; inditshi yokugezela eyodwa yayimumethe amabhathi angamatshumi amane; inditshi yokugezela eyodwa yayizingalo ezine; inditshi yokugezela eyodwa yayiphezu kwesisekelo ngasinye sezisekelo ezilitshumi.
And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; every laver was four cubits; upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
39 Wasebeka izisekelo ezinhlanu eceleni lokunene lendlu, lezinhlanu eceleni lokhohlo lendlu; lolwandle walubeka eceleni lokunene lendlu, ngasempumalanga maqondana leningizimu.
And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south.
40 UHiramu wasesenza inditshi zokugezela lamafotsholo lemiganu yokufafaza. UHiramu waseqeda ukwenza umsebenzi wonke ayewenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova:
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram ended doing all the work that he made for king Solomon [for] the house of Jehovah:
41 Insika zombili, lenditshi zeziduku ezaziphezu kwezinsika zombili, lamambule amabili okwembesa inditshi ezimbili zeziduku eziphezu kwezinsika,
two pillars, and the globes of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
42 lamapomegranati angamakhulu amane awamambule womabili, imizila emibili yamapomegranati yembule elilodwa, okwembesa inditshi ezimbili zeziduku ezaziphezu kwezinsika,
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars;
43 lezisekelo ezilitshumi, lenditshi zokugezela ezilitshumi phezu kwezisekelo,
and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
44 lolwandle olulodwa, lenkabi ezilitshumi lambili ngaphansi kolwandle;
and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 lezimbiza lamafotsholo lemiganu yokufafaza, lazo zonke lezizitsha uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova, zazingezethusi elikhazimulisiweyo.
and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these things, which Hiram made king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, were of bright brass.
46 Inkosi yazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa emagcekeni eJordani, emhlabathini webumba phakathi kweSukothi leZarethani.
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zaretan.
47 USolomoni wasetshiya zonke lezizitsha zingalinganiswanga, ngenxa yobunengi obukhulukazi; isisindo sethusi kasihlolwanga.
And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed] from their exceeding number; the weight of the brass was not ascertained.
48 USolomoni wenza-ke zonke izitsha ezazingezendlu yeNkosi; ilathi legolide, letafula legolide, okwakuphezu kwalo izinkwa zokubukiswa,
And Solomon made all the vessels that were [in] the house of Jehovah: the golden altar; and the table of gold, whereon was the shewbread;
49 lezinti zezibane zegolide elicwengekileyo, ezinhlanu ngakwesokunene, lezinhlanu ngakwesokhohlo, phambi kwendawo yelizwi, lamaluba, lezibane, lezindlawu, kwegolide;
and the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right, and five on the left, before the oracle; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 lemiganu, lezindlawu, lemiganu yokufafaza, lezinkezo, lezitsha zokuthwala umlilo, kwegolide elicwengekileyo; lamabhanti egolide ezivalo zendlu engaphakathi, zengcwele yezingcwele, ezivalo zendlu yethempeli.
and the basons, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, for the folding-doors of the inner house, the most holy place, [and] for the doors of the house, of the temple.
51 Waphela njalo umsebenzi wonke inkosi uSolomoni eyawenza endlini yeNkosi. USolomoni wasengenisa izinto ezingcwelisiweyo zikaDavida uyise; isiliva legolide lezitsha wakubeka enothweni yendlu yeNkosi.
And all the work was finished that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; the silver and the gold and the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of Jehovah.
