2 Nyakati 4
1 Vivile akatengeneza madhabahu ya shaba; urefu wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini.
Solomon 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 made a “Sea” from cast metal, ten cubits in diameter, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
3 Chini ya kingo kuzunguka bahari kulikuwapo ng'ombe dume, kumi kila mkono,
Below it were ornamental bulls all around it, ten per cubit. They were in two rows when it was all cast.
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 was supported by twelve statues of bulls three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea was placed on them, with their rears 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 as thick as the width of a hand, and its edge was like the flared edge of a cup or a lily flower. It held 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 on carts for washing. He placed five on the south side, and five on the north. They were used for cleaning what was used in burnt offerings, but the Sea was used by the priests 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 as had been specified, 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.
In addition 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 basins.
9 Zaidi ya hayo akatengeneza mahakama ya makuhani na mahakama kuu, na milangu kwa ajili ya mahakama, akaifunika milango yake kwa shaba.
Solomon also built a courtyard of the priests, and the large courtyard and doors for the courtyard, and he covered the doors with bronze.
10 Akaiweka bahari upande wa kulia wa nyumba, masharika, ikielekea upande wa kusini.
He placed the Sea on the south side, by 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:
Hiram also made the pots, shovels, and basins. Hiram completed the work that he had been doing for King Solomon on the Temple 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 columns; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columns; the two sets of network that covered both bowls of the capitals on top of the columns;
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 ornamental pomegranates for the two sets of network—two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columns;
14 Pia akavitengeneza vitako na mabirika juu ya kitako,
the water carts and the basins on the water carts;
15 bahari moja na wale ng'ombe kumi na wawili chini yake,
the Sea and the twelve bull statues that supported it; the pots, shovels, forks, and everything else.
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.
All the metalwork Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord was of polished bronze.
17 Mfalme alikuwa amevisubu katika uwanda wa Yordani, katika udongo wa mfinyanzi kati kati ya Sukothi na Sereda.
The king cast them 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 so many of these things that the weight of the bronze used could not be measured.
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 everything used in the Temple of God: the golden altar; the tables where the Bread of the Presence was displayed;
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 that were to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as specified;
21 na maua, taa, na makoleo, ya dhahabu, dhahabu safi.
the decorative flowers, lamps, and tongs—all made of solid 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, basins, dishes and censers—all made of gold; and the doors of the Temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall—all covered with gold.
