1 Solomoonis Yerusaalem keessatti iddoo Waaqayyo abbaa isaa Daawititti mulʼatetti Tulluu Mooriyaa irratti mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaruu jalqabe. Iddoon kunis iddoo Daawit oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa irratti qopheessee dha.
Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
2 Innis bara mootummaa isaa keessa waggaa afuraffaatti, bultii lammaffaa jiʼa lammaffaatti ijaaruu jalqabe.
They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
3 Solomoonis mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa ijaaruudhaaf jedhee hundee dheerinni isaa akka safartuu duriitti dhundhuma jaatama taʼee dhundhuma digdama balʼatu ni buuse.
The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
4 Gardaafoon fuula mana qulqullummaa dura tures lafa irra dheerinni isa akkuma balʼina mana qulqullummaatti dhundhuma digdama, ol dheerinni isaa immoo dhundhuma dhibba tokkoo fi digdama ture. Innis keessa manichaatti warqee qulqulluu uffise.
The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
5 Kutaa guddaa mana sanaattis muka birbirsaa maxxansee warqee qulqulluu itti uffise; fakkii meexxiitii fi foncaatiinis ni miidhagse.
Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
6 Mana qulqullummaa sanas dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiitiin ni bareeche. Warqeen inni itti fayyadames warqee Farwaayim ture.
They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
7 Innis dareeraawwan, michichilawwan balbalaa, dhaaba manaatii fi cufaawwan mana qulqullummaatti warqee uffise; keenyan manaa sana irrattis fakkii Kiirubeelii soofe.
They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
8 Innis Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe ijaare; lafa irra dheerinni iddoo sanaas balʼina mana qulqullummaatiin wal qixxee taʼee dheerinni isaa dhundhuma digdama, balʼinni isaa immoo dhundhuma digdama ture. Keessa isaa illee warqee qulqulluu taalaantii dhibba jaʼa itti uffise.
They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
9 Mismaaronni warqees saqilii shantama ulfaatu ture. Kutaawwan ol aananittis akkasumas warqee uffise.
They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
10 Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe keessatti kiirubeelii lama hojjechiisee warqee itti uffise.
Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
11 Qoochoon kiirubeelii lamaanii walumatti dhundhuma digdama ture. Qoochoon kiirubii jalqabaa tokkichi dhundhuma shan dheeratee keenyan mana qulqullummaa tuqa; qoochoon isaa kaan immoo dhundhuma shan dheeratee Qoochoon kiirubii lammaffaa tuqa.
[Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
12 Akkasumas qoochoon kiirubii lammaffaa inni tokko dhundhuma shan dheeratee gama kaaniin keenyan mana qulqullummaa tuqa; qoochoon isaa kaan immoo dhundhuma shan dheeratee qoochoo kiirubii jalqabaa sanaa tuqa.
13 Qoochoowwan kiirubeelii kanneenii dhundhuma digdamii shan diriirfaman. Kiirubeeliin kunneenis fuula isaanii gara galma guddichaatti deebifatanii miilla isaaniitiin dhaabatan.
It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
14 Innis kirrii bifa cuquliisaa, dhiilgee, bildiimaa fi quncee talbaa haphii irraa golgaa hojjetee fakkii kiirubeelii isa irratti tolche.
Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
15 Innis fuula mana qulqullummaa duratti utubaawwan lama kanneen walumatti dhundhuma soddomii shan dheeratan tolche; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis guutuu dhundhuma shan dheeratu mataa irraa qabu turan.
They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
16 Foncaa wal keessa loofames hojjetee mataa utubaawwanii irra kaaʼe. Akkasumas roomaanoota dhibba tokko hojjetee foncaa sanatti qabsiise.
The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
17 Innis utubaawwan sana tokko karaa kibbaatiin kaan immoo karaa kaabaatiin fuula mana qulqullummaa dura dhadhaabe. Utubaa karaa kibbaatiin Yaakiin kan karaa kaabaatiin immoo Boʼeez jedhee moggaase.
They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
