1 Mootota 7
1 Solomoon masaraa mootummaa isaa ijaaree fixachuuf waggaa kudha sadii itti fudhate.
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 Innis Masaraa Bosona Libaanoon jedhamu ijaarrate; masaraan sunis dhundhuma dhibba tokko dalga dheeratee balʼina dhundhuma shantamaa fi ol dheerina dhundhuma soddoma qaba ture; innis toora afuriin utubaawwan birbirsaa kanneen dareeraawwan birbirsaa baatan qaba ture.
One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
3 Manni sunis dareeraawwan utubaawwan irra naqaman sanaan olitti bantii birbirsi hojjetame qaba ture; innis toorawwan tokkoon tokkoon isaanii utubaawwan kudha shan qabatan walumaa galatti utubaawwan afurtamii shan qaba ture.
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 Foddaawwan isaas ol kaafamanii toora sadii sadiin walitti garagalfamanii hojjetaman.
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 Balballii fi michichilli balbalaa hundinuu roga afur afur qabu turan; isaanis karaa fuula duraatiin sadii sadiin walitti garagalfamanii turan.
All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
6 Innis galma utubaawwan hedduu qabu kan dhundhuma shantama lafa irra dheeratee dhundhuma soddoma balʼatu ijaare. Fuula galma sanaa duraanis gardaafoo tokkotu ture; gardaafoo sana duraan immoo utubaawwanii fi bantii utubaawwan sana irratti diriirfame tokkotu ture.
They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
7 Innis galma teessoo, iddoo itti murtii kennu galma laaftoo ijaaree lafa isaatii jalqabee hamma bantii isaatti muka birbirsaa itti uffise.
Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
8 Masaraan mootummaa kan akka inni keessa jiraatuuf ijaarame sunis gara dugda duubaatti hiiqee karooruma wal fakkaatuun hojjetame. Solomoon intala Faraʼoon kan fuudhe sanaaf illee masaraa mootummaa kan akkuma galma kanaa ijaare.
In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
9 Ijaarsi sun hundinuu alaa jalqabee hamma oobdii guddichaatti, hundee irraa jalqabee hamma mataa keenyan manaatti dhagaa gatii guddaa kan safaramee muramee fi kan keessii fi duubni isaa magaaziidhaan miidhagfameen hojjetame.
All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
10 Hundeen isaas dhagoota gurguddaa gatii guddaa qaban kanneen gariin isaanii dhundhuma kudhan gariin isaanii immoo dhundhuma saddeeti taʼaniin buufame.
The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
11 Hundee kana irraanis dhagoota gatii guddaa kanneen safaramanii murmuramanii fi birbirsatu ture.
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 Oobdiin guddichis akkuma oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan keessaatii fi gardaafoo isaa sanaa keenyan manaa kan toora dhagaa soofamee ijaarame sadii fi toora saanqaa birbirsaa kan miidhagfamee hojjetame tokkoon marfame.
The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
13 Solomoon mootichi Xiiroositti nama ergee Huuraamin fichisiise;
There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
14 haati Huuraam haadha hiyyeessaa kan gosa Niftaalem turte; abbaan isaa immoo nama gosa Xiiroos kan ogummaa hojii naasii qabu ture. Huuraam kun nama ogummaa guddaa qabu kan hojii naasii hunda keessatti muuxannoo qabu ture. Innis gara Solomoon mootichaa dhufee hojii isatti kenname hunda hojjete.
15 Hiiraam utubaa naasii lama kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dhundhuma kudha saddeet ol dheeratanii dhundhuma kudha lama furdatan hojjete.
He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16 Fiixee utubaawwan sanaa irra kaaʼuudhaafis naasii baqfame irraa guutuu lama tolche; tokkoon tokkoon guutuu sanaas dhundhuma shan shan ol dheerata ture.
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 Ergasiis guutuuwwan fiixee utubaawwan irraa sanaaf foncaa wal keessa loofame akka gingilchaatti hojjetame lama tolche; tokkoo tokkoo guutuu sanaatiifis gingilchaa torba torbatu qoodame.
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 Innis guutuuwwan fiixee utubaawwanii irra jiran sana miidhagsuuf jedhee tokkoo tokkoo gingilchaa sanaatti naannessee toora lamaan roomaanota tolche. Tokkoo tokkoo guutuwwaniitiifis akkasuma tolche.
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 Guutuuwwan gardaafoo keessa fiixee utubaawwanii irra jiranis daraaraa fakkaatanii dhundhuma afur afur ol dheeratu ture.
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 Guutuuwwan fiixee utubaawwan lamaanii irra kutaa waciitii fakkaatu kan gingilchaawwanitti aanuun gara irraa roomaanoota dhibba lamatu tooraan itti naannaʼee ture.
These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
21 Innis utubaawwan sana gardaafoo mana qulqullummaa dura dhadhaabe. Utubaa karaa kibbaatiin “Yaakiin” kan karaa kaabaatiin immoo “Boʼeez” jedhe.
His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
22 Guutuuwwan fiixee sana irra jiran daraaraa fakkaatu turan. Hojiin utubaawwan irraas akkasiin dhume.
The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
23 Innis sibiila baqfame irraa Gaanii geengoo afaan isaa qarqara tokkoo hamma qarqara kaaniitti dhundhuma kudhan balʼatee dhundhuma shan ol dheeratu tolche. Naannoon isaas funyoodhaan safaramee dhundhuma soddoma taʼe.
Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
24 Hidhii isaa jalaanis dhundhuma tokko tokko irratti wiillee kudhan kudhanitu naanneffamee ture. Willeewwan sunis Gaanii sana wajjin tarree lamaan walumatti baqfamanii hojjetaman.
Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
25 Gaanichis korommii kudha lama kanneen isaan keessaa sadii gara kaabaatti, sadii gara dhiʼaatti, sadii gara kibbaatti, sadii immoo gara baʼaatti garagalan irra dhaabate. Gaaniin sun dugda isaanii irra dhaabatee eegeen hunda isaanii gara walakkaatti garagalee ture.
Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
26 Gaaniin sun hamma barruu harkaa yabbata ture; hidhiin isaas akkuma hidhii kubbaayyaa yookaan daraaraa hadaa fakkaata ture. Innis baadoosii kuma lama qabata ture.
The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
27 Akkasumas baattuuwwan naasii kanneen iddoo tokkoo sochoʼuu dandaʼan kudhan tolche; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dhundhuma afur afur lafa irra dheeratanii balʼina dhundhuma afur afuriitii fi ol dheerina dhundhuma sadii sadii qabu turan.
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 Haalli itti baattuuwwan kunneen hojjetamanis kana: Isaanis sibiila babalʼaa michichilaan marfame qabu ture.
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 Sibiilawwan michichilaan marfaman sana irras fakkii leencawwanii, kan jibootaatii fi kan kiirubeeliitu ture; michichilawwan sana irras akkasuma ture. Fakkii leencawwaniitii fi jiboota sana jalaa fi gubbaanis fakkii daraaraa foʼamaa kan sibiila tumameen tolfame tokkotu ture.
On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
30 Tokkoon tokkoon baattuu sanaa goommaa naasii afur afurii fi somaa naasii qaba ture; goleewwan afraniinis utubaawwanitu ture; utubaawwan kunneenis baqfamanii daraaraa foʼamaadhaan miidhagfamanii tolfaman.
Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
31 Gara keessa baattuu sanaatiin uraa geengoo kan dhundhuma tokko gad fagaatutu ture. Uraan kunis geengoo taʼee jalli isaa dhundhuma tokkoo fi walakkaa balʼata ture. Naannoo uraa isaatti waan soofamee faayeffame tokkotu ture. Sibiilli baattuu sanaa balʼaan roga afuriin wal qixxee ture malee geengoo hin turre.
On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
32 Goommaawwan afran sun sibiila babalʼaa jala turan; somaan goommaawwaniis baattuu sanaan walitti qabsiifamee ture. Balʼinni tokkoo tokkoo goommaa sanaas dhundhuma tokkoo fi walakkaa ture.
The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
33 Goommaawwan sunis akkuma goommaawwan gaariitti hojjetaman. Somaan isaanii, hidhiin isaanii, hokkoon isaaniitii fi handhuurri isaanii hundinuu sibiila baqfame irraa hojjetame.
The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
34 Tokkoo tokkoo goleewwan baattuu sanaa afran irra michichilawwan afurtu ture; michichilawwan isaas baattuudhuma sanaan walitti hojjetaman.
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 Fiixee baattuu sanaa irra geengoo maramaa dhundhuma walakkaa dheeratu tokkotu ture. Michichilawwanii fi sibiilli babalʼaan sun fiixee baattuu sanaatti qabsiifamanii turan.
There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
36 Innis michichilawwanii fi sibiila babalʼaa irratti iddoo hundatti fakkii kiirubeelii, kan leencotaatii fi kan mukkeen meexxii soofee fakkii daraaraa foʼamees naannoo isaanii guutuutti marse.
The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
37 Haalli inni ittiin baattuuwwan kurnan sana hojjetes kanaa dha. Isaan hundinuu haaluma tokkoon baqfamanii hojjetaman; wal qixxaataniis bifa tokko qabaatan.
That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
38 Ergasiis caabiiwwan naasii kudhan kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii safartuu baadoos afurtama qabaatee balʼinni isaas dhundhuma afur taʼu hojjete; tokkoo tokkoo baattuuwwan kurnan sanaa irras caabii tokko tokkotu ture.
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 Innis baattuuwwan sana keessaa shan karaa kibba mana qulqullummaatiin, shan immoo karaa kaaba mana qulqullummaatiin dhaabe. Gaanii sana immoo karaa kibbaatiin, kibba baʼa golee mana qulqullummaatiin dhaabe.
Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
40 Inni okkoteewwan, waan daaraan ittiin hammaaramuu fi caabiiwwan ittiin dhiiga facaasanis ni tolche. Hiiroomis akkasiin hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti Solomoon mootichaaf hojjechaa ture hunda fixe; hojiin kunis:
Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
41 Utubaawwan lamaan; guutuuwwan waciitii fakkaatan kanneen fiixee utubaawwanii irra jiran lamaan; wantoota akka gingilchaa wal keessa loofaman lamaan guutuuwwan waciitii fakkaatanii fiixee utubaawwanii irra jiran sana lamaan miidhagsan;
the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
42 wantoota akka gingilchaa wal keessa loofaman lamaan sanaafis roomaanota dhibba afur, tokkoo tokkoo wantoota sanaatiif roomaanota tarree lamaa waciitiiwwan lamaan guutuuwwanii kanneen fiixee utubaawwanii irraa sana ni miidhagsan;
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 baattuuwwan kurnan, caabii isaanii kurnan wajjin;
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 gaanii fi korommii loonii kudha lamaan isa jalaan jiru;
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 okkoteewwan, waan ittiin daaraa hammaaranii fi caabiiwwan. Miʼi Huuraam mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif jedhee Solomoon mootichaaf hojjete sun hundinuu naasii cululuqaa irraa tolfame.
the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
46 Mootichis miʼoota kanneen dirree Yordaanositti iddoo suphee kan Sukootii fi Zaaretaan gidduu jirutti baqsiisee hojjechiise.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomoon waan isaan akka malee baayʼee taʼaniif miʼoota kanneen hunda hin madaalle; ulfinni naasiis hammam akka taʼe hin beekamne.
Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
48 Akkasumas Solomoon miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa jiran hunda ni hojjechiise: Isaanis iddoo aarsaa kan warqee irraa hojjetame; minjaala warqee kan buddeenni ilaalchaa irra ture;
Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
49 baattuuwwan ibsaa kanneen warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetaman shan karaa mirgaatiin, shan immoo karaa bitaatiin fuula iddoo qulqulluu manicha keessaa dura dhaabaman sana, daraarawwan, ibsaawwanii fi qabduuwwan warqee irraa hojjetaman;
the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
50 caabiiwwan, waan ittiin ibsaa irraa daaraa dhadhaʼan, waciitiiwwan ittiin dhiiga facaasan, caabiiwwanii fi qodaa ixaanaa kanneen warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetaman; cufaawwan kutaa manichaa kanneen gara keessaatiif jechuunis Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe sanaaf, akkasumas cufaawwan galma guddichaa kanneen mana qulqullummaatiif aguuraawwan warqee.
the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
51 Solomoon mootichi yommuu hojiin inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif hojjete hundi raawwatametti miʼoota abbaan isaa Daawit Waaqaaf addaan baase jechuunis meetii, warqee fi miʼoota fidee mankuusa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa kaaʼe.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
