2 Nyakati 4
1 Vivile akatengeneza madhabahu ya shaba; urefu wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini.
Then he made an altar of bronze, thirty-four feet and five inches, its length, and thirty-four feet and five inches, its breadth, and seventeen feet and three inches its height.
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.
Also he made the molten sea seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass; and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.
3 Chini ya kingo kuzunguka bahari kulikuwapo ng'ombe dume, kumi kila mkono,
Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was 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.
It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were 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 almost three inches thick; and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and 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 made also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
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 the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 Akatengeneza meza kumi na kuziweka hekaluni, tano upande wa kulia, na tano upande wa kushoto. Akatengeneza birika mia moja za dhahabu.
He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold.
9 Zaidi ya hayo akatengeneza mahakama ya makuhani na mahakama kuu, na milangu kwa ajili ya mahakama, akaifunika milango yake kwa shaba.
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 Akaiweka bahari upande wa kulia wa nyumba, masharika, ikielekea upande wa kusini.
He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
11 Huramu akayatengeza masufuria, majembe, na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Hivyo Huramu akamaliza kazi aliyofanya kwa ajili ya mfalme Selemani katika nyumba ya Mungu:
And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God's house:
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, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of 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.
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.
14 Pia akavitengeneza vitako na mabirika juu ya kitako,
He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;
15 bahari moja na wale ng'ombe kumi na wawili chini yake,
one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
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.
The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels Hiram Abi made for king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright bronze.
17 Mfalme alikuwa amevisubu katika uwanda wa Yordani, katika udongo wa mfinyanzi kati kati ya Sukothi na Sereda.
The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
18 Hivyo ndivyo Selemani alivyovitengeneza vyombo vyote kwa wingi; kwa kweli, uzito wa shaba haukuweza kujulikana.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
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 made all the vessels that were in God's house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;
20 vinara pamoja na taa zake, ambazo zilitengezwa ili kumulika mbele ya chumba cha ndani—hivi vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu halisi;
and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
21 na maua, taa, na makoleo, ya dhahabu, dhahabu safi.
and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect 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.
and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
