2 Nyakati 4
1 Mfalme Solomoni akatengeneza madhabahu ya shaba yenye urefu wa dhiraa ishirini, upana wa dhiraa ishirini na kimo chake dhiraa kumi.
Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.
2 Akatengeneza Bahari ya kusubu, yenye umbo la mviringo, ya dhiraa kumi kutoka ukingo hadi ukingo na kimo cha dhiraa tano. Kamba ya urefu wa dhiraa thelathini ingeweza kuizunguka.
And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.
3 Chini ya huo ukingo, kulikuwa na mafahali kuizunguka, yaani mafahali kumi katika kila dhiraa moja. Hayo mafahali waliyasubu katika safu mbili yakiwa ya kitu kimoja na hiyo Bahari.
And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.
4 Bahari hiyo ilikaa juu ya mafahali kumi na wawili, mafahali watatu walielekeza nyuso zao kaskazini, watatu magharibi, watatu kusini na watatu mashariki. Bahari hiyo ilikaa juu ya hao mafahali, nazo sehemu zao za nyuma zilielekeana.
It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.
5 Unene wake ulikuwa nyanda nne, na ukingo wake ulifanana na ukingo wa kikombe, kama ua la yungiyungi iliyochanua. Iliweza kuchukua bathi 3,000.
It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.
6 Kisha akatengeneza masinia kumi kwa ajili ya kuoshea vifaa, naye akayaweka matano upande wa kusini na matano upande wa kaskazini. Ndani yake ndimo walioshea vifaa vya kutumika katika sadaka za kuteketezwa, lakini ile Bahari ilikuwa ni kwa ajili ya makuhani kunawia.
And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.
7 Akatengeneza vinara vya taa kumi vya dhahabu kama ilivyoainishwa kwao na kuviweka hekaluni, vinara vitano upande wa kusini na vitano upande wa kaskazini.
And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
8 Akatengeneza meza kumi na kuziweka hekaluni, tano upande wa kusini na tano upande wa kaskazini. Pia akatengeneza mabakuli 100 ya dhahabu ya kunyunyizia.
He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.
9 Akatengeneza ukumbi wa makuhani na ukumbi mwingine mkubwa na milango yake, naye akaifunika hiyo milango kwa shaba.
Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.
10 Akaweka ile Bahari upande wa kusini, kwenye pembe ya kusini mashariki ya nyumba.
He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.
11 Pia akatengeneza masufuria, masepetu na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Kwa hiyo Huramu akakamilisha kazi katika Hekalu la Mungu kama vile Mfalme Solomoni alikuwa amemwagiza, yaani:
And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:
12 zile nguzo mbili; yale mataji mawili yaliyokuwa juu ya hizo nguzo, zile nyavu mbili za kupamba hayo mataji mawili yenye umbo la bakuli yaliyowekwa juu ya zile nguzo;
The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;
13 yale makomamanga 400 kwa ajili ya hizo nyavu mbili (safu mbili za makomamanga kwa kila wavu yakipamba hayo mataji mawili yenye umbo la bakuli juu ya hizo nguzo);
And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.
14 vishikio pamoja na masinia yake;
And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;
15 hiyo Bahari na hao mafahali kumi na wawili chini yake;
The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.
16 pia hayo masufuria, masepetu, uma za nyama na vyombo vingine vyote vilivyohusiana. Vitu vyote ambavyo Huramu-Abi alimtengenezea Mfalme Solomoni kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Bwana vilikuwa vya shaba iliyosuguliwa.
All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.
17 Mfalme aliagiza wavisubu vitu hivi kwenye kalibu za udongo wa mfinyanzi katika uwanda wa Yordani kati ya Sukothi na Sereda.
The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Vitu hivi vyote Mfalme Solomoni alivyotengeneza vilikuwa vingi sana hivi kwamba uzito wa shaba haungekadirika.
So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.
19 Solomoni pia akatengeneza samani zote zilizokuwa ndani ya Hekalu la Mungu: madhabahu ya dhahabu; meza za kuweka mikate ya Wonyesho;
And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,
20 vinara vya taa vya dhahabu safi pamoja na taa zake ili ziwake mbele ya sehemu takatifu ya ndani kama ilivyoelekezwa;
And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;
21 maua ya dhahabu yaliyofanyizwa, taa na makoleo (vilikuwa vya dhahabu bora kabisa);
The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.
22 mikasi ya dhahabu safi, mabakuli ya kunyunyizia, masinia na vyetezo; milango ya dhahabu ya Hekalu: yaani milango ya ndani ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, na milango ya ukumbi mkuu.
The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.
