2 Nyakati 4
1 Vivile akatengeneza madhabahu ya shaba; urefu wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini.
He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.
2 Pia akatengeneza bahari ya mduara ya chuma cha kuyeyushwa, mikono kumi kutoka ukingo hadi ukingo. Urefu wake kwenda juu ulikuwa mikono mitano, na bahari ilikuwa na mzunguko wa mikono thelatinini.
He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
3 Chini ya kingo kuzunguka bahari kulikuwapo ng'ombe dume, kumi kila mkono,
Below the rim, figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
4 Bahari ilisimama juu ya ng'ombe wa kulima kumi na wawili, watatu wakiangalia kaskazini, watatu wakiangalia magharibi, na watatu wakiangalia kusini, na watatu wakiangalia mashariki. Bahari iliwekwa juu yao, na robo ya sehemu zao za nyuma zote zilikuwa ndani.
The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
5 Bahari ilikuwa nene kama upana wa mkono, na ukingo wake ulikuwa kama ukingo wa kikombe, kama ua la yungi. Bahari ilikuwa na mabafu elfu tatu ya maji.
It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.
6 Pia akatengeneza birika kumi kwa ajili ya kuoshea vitu; tano akaziweka mkono wa kulia, na tano akaziweka kushoto; vifaa vilivyotumika katika kufanayia sadaka za kuteketezwa zilipaswa kuoshwa ndani ya hizo birika. Bahari, vilevile ilikuwa kwa ajili ya makauhani kuoga humo.
He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests used the Sea for washing.
7 Akatengeza vinara vya taa kumi vya dhahabu ambavyo vilitengenezwa kutokana na maelekezo ya jinsi vilivyopaswa kuwa; akaviweka hekaluni, vitanao mkno wa kulia, na vitano mkono wa kushoto.
He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8 Akatengeneza meza kumi na kuziweka hekaluni, tano upande wa kulia, na tano upande wa kushoto. Akatengeneza birika mia moja za dhahabu.
Additionally, he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold bowls.
9 Zaidi ya hayo akatengeneza mahakama ya makuhani na mahakama kuu, na milangu kwa ajili ya mahakama, akaifunika milango yake kwa shaba.
He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.
10 Akaiweka bahari upande wa kulia wa nyumba, masharika, ikielekea upande wa kusini.
He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.
11 Huramu akayatengeza masufuria, majembe, na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Hivyo Huramu akamaliza kazi aliyofanya kwa ajili ya mfalme Selemani katika nyumba ya Mungu:
Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of God:
12 zile nguzo mbili, taji mfano wa upinde zilizo kuwa juu ya zile nguzo mbili, na nyavu mbili za za mapambo zilizofunika zile taji mbili mfano wa upinde zilizokuwa juu ya zile nguzo.
the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
13 Alikuwa ametengeneza makomamanga mia nne kwa ajili ya zile nyavu za mapambo: safu mbili za makomamanga kwa kila wavu ili kufunika vimbe mbili zilizo kuwa juu ya nguzo.
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
14 Pia akavitengeneza vitako na mabirika juu ya kitako,
the stands; the basins on the stands;
15 bahari moja na wale ng'ombe kumi na wawili chini yake,
the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
16 pia masufuria, majembe, nyuma za nyama, na vyombo vingine vyote. Huramu mtaalamu akavifanya kwa ajili ya Mfalme Selemani, kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Yahwe, vya shaba iliyong'arishwa.
and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.
17 Mfalme alikuwa amevisubu katika uwanda wa Yordani, katika udongo wa mfinyanzi kati kati ya Sukothi na Sereda.
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Hivyo ndivyo Selemani alivyovitengeneza vyombo vyote kwa wingi; kwa kweli, uzito wa shaba haukuweza kujulikana.
Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
19 Selemani akazitengeza samani zote ambazo zilikuwa kwenye nyumba ya Mungu, pia madhabahu ya dhahabu, na meza ambazo juu yake mkate wa uwepo ulipaswa kuwekwa;
Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
20 vinara pamoja na taa zake, ambazo zilitengezwa ili kumulika mbele ya chumba cha ndani—hivi vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu halisi;
the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;
21 na maua, taa, na makoleo, ya dhahabu, dhahabu safi.
the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;
22 Pia mikasi ya taa, na mabakuli, vijiko, na vikaango vya sadaka za kuteketezwa vyote vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi. Kuhusu mlanago wa kuingilia kwenye nyumba, milango yake ya ndani kwenye patakatifu pa patakatifu na milango ya nyumba, ambayo ni, ya hekalu, ilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu.
the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of purest gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.
