1 Madzimambo 7
1 Zvisinei, zvakatorera Soromoni makore gumi namatatu kuti apedze kuvaka muzinda wake.
Solomon took thirteen years to build his own palace.
2 Akavaka Muzinda weSango reRebhanoni wakanga wakareba makubhiti zana, upamhi hwawo huri makubhiti makumi mashanu, namakubhiti makumi matatu pakukwirira kwawo mudenga, akaivaka pamusoro pemitsara mina yembiru dzemisidhari namatanda emisidhari akavezwa pamusoro pembiru.
He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.
3 Wakanga une denga remisidhari rakanga riri pamusoro pamatanda akanga akagadzikwa pamusoro pembiru yamatanda makumi mana namashanu, gumi namashanu mumutsara mumwe chete.
The house was roofed with cedar that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.
4 Mawindo awo akanga ari pamusoro, ari matatu, akatarisana.
There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.
5 Makonhi ose namagwatidziro zvaiva namativi mana; akanga ari nechemberi ari matatu matatu, akatarisana.
All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.
6 Akaita imba yembiru yakanga yakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu iine upamhi hwamakubhiti makumi matatu. Pamberi payo paiva nebiravira, pamberi parowo paine mbiru nedenga rakarembera.
There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.
7 Akavakawo imba yechigaro chokutonga, Imba Yokururamisira, umo maaizotongera nyaya, uye akaifukidza nemisidhari kubva pasi kusvikira kumusoro.
Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
8 Muzinda wake waaizogara necheseri, wakanga wakavakwa zvimwe chetezvo. Soromoni akavakirawo mwanasikana waFaro, uyo waakanga awana, muzinda wakafanana nouyu.
Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
9 Dzimba dzose idzi, kubva kunze kusvikira kuchivanze chikuru, nokubva pahwaro kusvikira paberevere, dzakanga dziri dzamatombo anokosha, akavezwa zvakaenzanirana, uye akachekwa nejeko kunze nomukati.
These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.
10 Hwaro hwakanga hwakavakwa namatombo makuru anokosha, mamwe akareba makubhiti gumi, mamwe makubhiti masere.
The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.
11 Pamusoro paiva namatombo anokosha, akavezwa zvakaenzanirana, namatanda emisidhari.
Above were costly hewn stones precisely cut to size, and cedar beams.
12 Chivanze chikuru chaiva chakapoteredzwa norusvingo rwakanga rune mitsara mitatu yamatombo akavezwa nomutsara mumwe chete wamatanda omusidhari akanyatsovezwa, zvimwe chetezvo zvakanga zvakaita chivanze chomukati chetemberi yaJehovha nebiravira rayo.
The great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.
13 Zvino Mambo Soromoni akatuma vanhu kundotora Hiramu kuTire.
King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from Tyre.
14 Hiramu aiva mwanakomana wechirikadzi yorudzi rwaNafutari, baba vake vari veTire, mupfuri wendarira. Hiramu akanga azere nounyanzvi, uye aino ruzivo rwezvamabasa ose endarira. Akauya kuna Mambo Soromoni akaita basa rose raakapiwa.
Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.
15 Akavaka mbiru mbiri dzendarira, imwe neimwe yakanga yakareba makubhiti gumi namasere, uye yaipoteredzwa netambo yakareba makubhiti gumi namaviri pakuyera.
Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 Akaitawo misoro yembiru yendarira yakanyungurutswa miviri, yokugadzika pamusoro pembiru, musoro mumwe nomumwe wakanga wakareba makubhiti mashanu pakukwirira kwawo.
He made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.
17 Mimbure yengetani dzakarukwa yaiva yakashongedza misoro yaiva pamusoro pembiru, minomwe pamusoro pomumwe nomumwe.
Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
18 Akaitawo matamba mumitsara miviri yakapoteredza mumbure mumwe nomumwe kuti ishongedze misoro yaiva pamusoro pembiru. Akaita zvimwe chetezvo pamusoro pomumwe nomumwe.
So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.
19 Misoro yaiva pamusoro pembiru pabiravira yakanga yakaumbwa samaruva amahapa, yakareba makubhiti mana pakukwirira kwayo.
The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.
20 Pamusoro pemisoro yembiru mbiri idzi, nechapamusoro pedumbu rakanga riri parutivi pomumbure, paiva namatamba mazana maviri mumitsara yakapoteredza.
The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
21 Akamisa mbiru pabiravira retemberi. Mbiru yezasi akaitumidza zita rokuti Jakini uye yokumusoro akaitumidza kuti Bhoazi.
He raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz.
22 Pamusoro pembiru paiva nezvishongo zvakafanana namaruva amahapa. Saizvozvo basa rapambiru rakapera.
On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.
23 Akaita Gungwa reNdarira yakanyauswa, redenderedzwa rakanga rine upamhi hwamakubhiti gumi pamuromo, uye rakareba makubhiti mashanu pakukwirira kwaro. Zvaitora tambo yakareba makubhiti makumi matatu kuti iripoteredze pakuyera.
Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
24 Pasi pomuromo waro pakanga pane mapfundo akapoteredza, ari gumi pakubhiti, achipoteredza gungwa. Mapfundo aya akaumbwa akanga ari mumitsara miviri, pamwe chete neGungwa.
Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.
25 Gungwa rakanga rimire pahando gumi nembiri, nhatu dzakatarisa kumusoro, nhatu kumadokero, nhatu zasi nenhatu kumabvazuva. Gungwa rakanga rigere pamusoro padzo, uye shure kwadzo kwakanga kwakatarisa pakati.
“The Sea” stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
26 Ukobvu hwaro hwaikwana upamhi hwechanza chomunhu, uye muromo waro wakanga wakafanana nomuromo wekapu, seruva ramahapa. Mukati maro maikwana mabhati zviuru zviviri.
The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water.
27 Akaitawo zvigadziko gumi zvendarira zvaiva namavhiri endarira gumi; chimwe nechimwe chakanga chakareba makubhiti mana, upamhi huri makubhiti mana nokukwirira kwacho kuri makubhiti matatu.
Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.
28 Zvigadziko izvi zvakanga zvakaitwa seizvi: pakati pembiru dzezvigadziko paiva namagwatidziro mumativi.
The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames,
29 Pamagwatidziro aya pakati pembiru paiva neshumba, hando namakerubhi, uyewo napambiru. Pamusoro napasi peshumba nehando paiva nezvishongo zvamaruva zvendarira.
and on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.
30 Chigadziko chimwe nechimwe chaiva namavhiri mana endarira ane maekesero endarira, uye imwe neimwe yaiva nedhishi rakanga riri pamusoro pezvitsigiro zvina, zvakaumbwa zviine zvishongo zvamaruva kurutivi rumwe norumwe.
Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one.
31 Nechomukati mechigadziko maiva negomba rakanga riri redenderedzwa rakadzika zvinosvika kubhiti rimwe chete. Gomba iri rakanga riri redenderedzwa, uye nechigadziko charo raikwana kubhiti nehafu. Pamuromo paro paiva nezvinyorwa. Magwatidziro akanga ane mativi akaenzana, asiri edenderedzwa.
The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.
32 Mavhiri mana aiva pasi pamagwatidziro, uye maekesero amavhiri aiva akabatana netafura. Vhiri rimwe nerimwe raiva noupamhi hwekubhiti rimwe chete nehafu.
The four wheels were underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
33 Mavhiri akanga akagadzirwa sokugadzirwa kwamavhiri engoro dzamabhiza; maekesero, marimu, zvipokisi namahabhu zvose zvaiva zvakagadzirwa nendarira.
The wheels were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
34 Chigadziko chimwe nechimwe chaiva nemibato mina, pakona imwe neimwe, uye yaibudikira kubva pachigadziko.
There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.
35 Pamusoro pechigadziko paiva nechitenderere chakanga chakadzika zvinosvika hafu yekubhiti. Zvitsigiro namagwatidziro zvakanga zvakanamatidzwa pamusoro pechigadziko.
In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.
36 Akaveza makerubhi, shumba nemiti yemichindwe pazvitsigiro namagwatidziro, napose paigona kuvezwa, nezvishongo zvamaruva kumativi ose.
On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.
37 Aya ndiwo magadziriro aakaita zvigadziko gumi. Zvose zvakanga zvakafanana pakuumbwa kwazvo, zvakaenzana pakukura napamaumbirwo.
He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same shape.
38 Ipapo akaita madhishi endarira gumi, rimwe nerimwe richipinda mabhati makumi mana uye rakafara makubhiti mana, dhishi rimwe chete richizoiswa pachigadziko chimwe nechimwe chezvigadziko gumi.
Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of ten stands.
39 Akaisa zvigadziko zvishanu zasi kwetemberi, zvishanu kumusoro. Akaisa Gungwa kurutivi rwezasi, zasi kwakadziva kumabvazuva kwetemberi.
He made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south of the temple.
40 Hiramu akaitawo poto, foshoro namadhishi. Saka Hiramu akapedza basa rose raakaitira Mambo Soromoni mutemberi yaJehovha:
Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:
41 mbiru mbiri; misoro miviri yedenderedzwa pamusoro pembiru; mimbure miviri yakarukwa yaishongedza misoro miviri yedenderedzwa yaiva pamusoro pembiru;
the two pillars, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
42 matamba mazana mana emimbure miviri (mitsara miviri yamatamba pamumbure mumwe chete, kuti ishongedze misoro yedenderedzwa yaiva pamusoro pembiru);
He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);
43 zvigadziko gumi namadhishi azvo gumi;
the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.
44 Gungwa nehando gumi nembiri pasi paro;
He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its twelve oxen under it;
45 poto, foshoro namadhishi. Zvinhu zvose izvi zvakaitirwa Mambo Soromoni mutemberi maJehovha naHiramu zvaiva zvendarira yakabwinyiswa.
also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.
46 Mambo akaita kuti zviumbwe nevhu rokuumba pabani reJorodhani pakati peSukoti neZaretani.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Soromoni haana kuyera zvinhu zvose izvi nokuti zvakanga zvakawanda kwazvo; uremu hwendarira hahuna kuzivikanwa.
Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
48 Soromoni akaitawo midziyo yose yaiva mutemberi maJehovha: aritari yegoridhe; tafura yegoridhe yaiva nechingwa choKuratidza, pamusoro payo;
Solomon had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
49 zvigadziko zvemwenje zvegoridhe rakaisvonaka (zvishanu kurudyi nezvishanu kuruboshwe pamberi penzvimbo tsvene yomukati); maruva, mwenje nembato, zvegoridhe;
the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of gold.
50 makapu, zvidzimiso zvemwenje, madhishi, madhishi ezvinonhuhwira nezvaenga zvomoto, zvegoridhe rakaisvonaka; zvibato zvamakonhi ekamuri yomukatikati memba, Nzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene, namakonhi eimba huru, zvakanga zviri zvegoridhe.
Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 Zvino basa rose rakaitwa naMambo Soromoni patemberi yaJehovha parakapera, Soromoni akauyisa zvinhu zvakanga zvakumikidzwa nababa vake Dhavhidhi, midziyo yesirivha negoridhe, akazvichengeta mumatura epfuma yetemberi yaJehovha.
In this way, all the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
