1 Mootota 6
1 Innis erga Israaʼeloonni Gibxi keessaa baʼanii waggaa dhibba afurii fi saddeettammaffaatti, erga Solomoon Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼee immoo waggaa afuraffaa keessa jiʼa Ziif jechuunis jiʼa lammaffaa keessa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaruu jalqabe.
480 years after the Israeli people left Egypt, during the fourth year that Solomon ruled Israel, early in May, Solomon’s workers began to build the temple.
2 Manni qulqullummaa kan Solomoon mootichi Waaqayyoof ijaare sun dhundhuma jaatama lafa irra dheerata ture; dhundhuma digdama balʼatee dhundhuma soddoma ol dheerata ture.
Inside, [the main part of] the temple was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
3 Gardaafoon fuula galma mana qulqullummaa sana dura jiru akkuma mana qulqullummaa sanaa dhundhuma digdama lafa irra dheeratee fuula manichaa duraan dhundhuma kudhan achi baʼa ture.
The entrance room was 15 feet long and 30 feet wide, just as wide as the main part of the temple.
4 Innis akka manichi ifa argatuuf foddaawwan faayeffaman itti tolche.
There were windows in [the walls of] the temple. The windows were narrower on the outside than on the inside.
5 Naannoo keenyan mana guddichaatii fi naannoo keenyan iddoo qulqulluu manicha keessaattis bifa itti baasee kutaalee ni tolche.
Against the two sides and against the back of the temple walls, they built a structure/building that had rooms in it. [This structure had three levels/stories and each was 7-1/2 feet high].
6 Kutaan manichaa kan jalaa dhundhuma shan, kan gidduu dhundhuma jaʼa, sadaffaan immoo dhundhuma torba balʼata ture. Innis akka wanni tokko iyyuu keenyan mana qulqullummaa keessa hin suuqamneef alaan manichatti naannessee ittisa hojjete.
[Each room in] the lowest level/story was 7-1/2 feet wide. [Each room in] the middle level/story was nine feet wide. [The rooms in] the top level/story were 10-1/2 feet wide. The wall of the temple at the top level/story was thinner than the wall at the middle level/story, and the wall of the middle level/story was thinner than the wall at the bottom level/story. The result was that the rooms could be supported by the wall underneath them, and did not require wooden beams to support them.
7 Yeroo mana qulqullummaa sana ijaaranitti dhagaa boolla itti dhagaa cabsanitti soofame qofatti fayyadaman; yeroo manni qulqullummaa sun ijaaramaa turetti iyyi burruusaa, kan qottootii fi kan miʼa sibiilaa kamii iyyuu achitti hin dhagaʼamne.
The huge stones for [the foundation of] the temple were cut and shaped at the quarry [to become very smooth]. The result was that while the workers were building the temple there was no noise, because they did not use hammers or chisels or any other iron tools there.
8 Balballi kutaa manichaa kan jalaa karaa kibba mana qulqullummaatiin ture; gulantaan tokkos gara kutaa manichaa gidduutii fi gara kutaa manichaa sadaffaatti ol baasa.
The entrance to the bottom level/story [of that attached structure] was on the south side of the temple. There were stairs from the bottom level/story to the middle and top level/story.
9 Inni akkasiin mana qulqullummaa sana ijaaree saanqaa birbirsaatii fi dareeraadhaan gubbaa isaa duuchee fixe.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished building the [framework of the] temple. They made the ceiling from cedar beams and boards.
10 Innis kutaalee alaa sana naannoo mana qulqullummaatti marsee ijaare. Ol dheerinni tokkoo tokkoo isaaniis dhundhuma shan shan ture. Isaanis muka birbirsaatiin mana qulqullummaatti qabsiifaman.
They built the structure that had three levels/stories, that was against the walls of the temple. Each level/story was 7-1/2 feet high, and was joined to the temple with cedar beams.
11 Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Solomoon dhufe:
Then Yahweh said this to Solomon:
12 “Waaʼee mana qulqullummaa ati ijaaraa jirtu kanaa, ati sirna koo duukaa buutee seera kootii fi ajaja koo hundas yoo eegde, ani waadaan abbaa kee Daawitiif gale sana karaa keetiin nan raawwadha.
“[I want to tell you] about this temple that you are building. If you continually obey all my statutes and laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised to your father David.
13 Anis Israaʼeloota gidduu nan jiraadha; saba koo Israaʼelinis hin gatu.”
I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
14 Akkasiin Solomoon mana qulqullummaa sana ijaaree fixe.
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
15 Innis hundee mana qulqullummaatii jalqabee hamma gubbaa isaatti mamaxxansuudhaan keenyan manichaa karaa keessaatiin saanqaa birbirsaatiin uffise; lafa manichaas saanqaa birbirsaatiin uffise.
On the inside, they lined/covered the walls with cedar boards. They lined/covered them from the floor to the ceiling. They made the floor from cypress boards.
16 Karaa boroo mana qulqullummaatiinis iddoo qulqulluu kan keessaa jechuunis Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe hojjechuuf hundee manichaatii jalqabee hamma gubbaa isaatti saanqaa birbirsaatiin kutaa dhundhuma digdama balʼatu tokko qoode.
Inside the back part of the temple they built an inner room, called the Very Holy Place. It was 30 feet long. All the walls of this room were lined with cedar boards.
17 Galmi guddichi fuula kutaa kanaa duraan jirus dhundhuma afurtama dheerata ture.
In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.
18 Keessi mana qulqullummaa sanaas birbirsa fakkiin buqqeetii fi daraaraa irratti soofameen faayeffamee ture. Wanni hundinuu birbirsaan hojjetame; dhagaan tokko iyyuu hin mulʼatu ture.
The cedar [boards on the walls] inside the temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. [The walls were] completely covered with cedar boards, with the result that the stones [of the walls behind them] could not be seen.
19 Inni taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo achi keessa kaaʼuuf jedhee mana qulqullummaa keessatti iddoo qulqulluu qopheesse.
At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.
20 Iddoon qulqulluun manicha keessaa sun dhundhuma digdama lafa irra dheeratee, dhundhuma digdama balʼatee dhundhuma digdama immoo ol dheerata ture. Innis keessa manichaa warqee qulqulluu itti uffise; iddoo aarsaa kan birbirsaa irraa hojjetame sana illee warqee qulqulluu itti uffise.
That room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. They covered the walls with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. [For burning incense] they also made an altar of cedar [boards].
21 Solomoonis keessa mana qulqullummaa sanaa warqee qulqulluu itti uffisee fuula iddoo qulqulluu manicha keessaa kan warqeen itti uffifame sana duraan foncaa warqee diriirse.
Solomon told them to cover the other walls inside the temple with [very thin sheets of] pure gold and to fasten gold chains across the entrance to the Very Holy Place.
22 Innis akkasiin keessa manichaa hunda warqee itti uffise. Iddoo aarsaa kan iddoo qulqulluu gara keessaa cina jiru sana illee warqee itti uffise.
They covered all the walls of the temple and the altar that was outside the Very Holy Place with [very thin sheets of] gold.
23 Innis iddoo qulqulluu gara keessaa jiru sana keessatti kiirubeelii muka ejersaa irraa hojjetaman kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dhundhuma kudhan kudhan ol dheeratan tolche.
Inside the Very Holy Place, they made from olive tree wood [large statues of] two creatures with wings. Each one was 15 feet tall.
24 Qoochoon kiirubeelii jalqabaa tokkichi dhundhuma shan dalga dheerata; qoochoon kaanis dhundhuma shan dalga dheerata; walumatti fiixee qoochoo tokkootii hamma fiixee qoochoo kaaniitti dhundhuma kudhan dalga dheerata ture.
They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings [which were spread out]. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.
25 Sababii kiirubeeliin lachuu guddinaan wal qixxee taʼanii bifa tokko qabaataniif kiirubiin lammaffaanis dhundhuma kudhan dalga dheerata ture.
26 Ol dheerinni tokkoo tokkoo kiirubeeliis dhundhuma kudhan kudhan ture.
27 Solomoon kiirubeelii sana mana qulqullummaa keessa kutaa Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe keessa kaaʼe; qoochoon isaaniis babalʼifamee ture. Qoochoon kiirubeelii tokkoo keenyan manaa tokko tuqee qoochoon kiirubeelii kaanii immoo keenyan manaa kaan tuqe; qoochoon isaaniis dhufee walakkaa kutaa manichaatti wal tuqa ture.
They put those statues next to each other in the Very Holy Place so that the wing of the one touched the one wing of the other in the center of the room, and the outer wings touched the walls.
28 Inni kiirubeelii sanas warqee itti uffise.
They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
29 Solomoonis keenyan mana qulqullummaa sanaa hunda irratti, keessaa fi duubaan itti naannessee fakkiiwwan kiirubeelii, mukkeen meexxiitii fi daraarawwanii miidhagse.
[Solomon told them to] decorate the walls of the main room and the Very Holy Place by carving representations of winged creatures and palm trees and flowers.
30 Lafa kutaalee mana qulqullummaa sanaa lachuuttis keessaa fi alaan warqee uffise.
They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
31 Balbala iddoo qulqulluu kan gara keessaatiifis muka ejersaatiin cufaawwan tolche; cufaawwan sunis balʼina keenyaniitti harka shan keessaa harka tokko ture.
They made a set of doors from olive tree wood, and placed them at the entrance to the Very Holy Place. The doorposts joined at the top to form a pointed arch.
32 Cufaa muka ejersaa sana lamaan irrattis fakkiiwwan kiirubeelii, kan muka meexxiitii fi daraarawwanii miidhagsee fakkiiwwan kiirubeelii fi kan muka meexxii sanatti warqee uffise.
The doors were decorated by carving on them representations of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. All of these things were covered with [very thin sheets of] gold.
33 Haaluma kanaanis michichila balbalaa kan muka ejersaa irraa hojjetamee roga afur qabu tokko balbala galma guddichaatiif tolche.
They made a rectangular door frame from olive tree wood, and put it [between the entrance room and] the main room.
34 Akkasumas balbala muka birbirsaa lama kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii saanqaa walitti deebiʼee cufamu lama lama qaban tolche.
They made two folding doors from cypress wood [and fastened them to the door frame].
35 Achi irrattis kiirubeelii, mukkeen meexxiitii fi daraarawwan miidhagsee warqee tumame wal qixxeessee itti uffise.
The doors were also decorated with wood carvings of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, and they were also covered evenly with [very thin sheets of] gold.
36 Innis dhagaa soofamaa toora sadii fi dareeraa birbirsaa, toora tokkoon oobdii manicha keessaa ijaare.
They built a courtyard in front of the temple. The walls around the courtyard were made of cedar and stone; to make the walls, between each layer of cedar beams they put down two layers of stone.
37 Hundeen mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoos waggaa afuraffaatti jiʼa Ziif jedhamu keessa buufame.
They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
38 Manni qulqullummaa sunis waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti, jiʼa Buul jechuunis jiʼa saddeettaffaa keessa akkuma karoorfametti guutumaan guutuutti hojjetamee dhume. Solomoonis mana sana ijaaree fixuuf waggaa torba itti fudhate.
In the eleventh year [that he ruled], in the middle of October, they finished building the temple and all of its parts, doing exactly what Solomon told them to do. It required seven years to build it.
