1 Mga Hari 7
1 Inabot ng labing tatlong taon si Solomon para makapagtayo ng sarili niyang palasyo.
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 Itinayo niya ang Palasyo sa Kagubatan ng Lebanon. Ang haba nito ay isang daang kubit, ang lapad nito ay limampung kubit, at ang taas nito ay tatlumpung kubit. Ang palasyo ay itinayo nang may apat na hanay ng haliging sedar na may bigang sedar sa ibabaw ng mga poste.
One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
3 Ang bubong ay gawa sa sedar; ito ay binubungan ng higit sa apatnapu't limang biga na nasa mga poste, labing lima sa isang hanay.
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 Doon ay may biga sa tatlong hanay, at bawat bintana ay katapat ng isa pang bintana sa tatlong pangkat.
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 Lahat ng mga pinto at mga poste ay ginawang mga parisukat na may biga, at ang bintana ay may katapat na bintana sa tatlong pangkat.
All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
6 Doon ay may isang bulwagan na limampung kubit ang haba at tatlumpung kubit ang lapad, na may isang portiko sa harap at mga poste at isang bubong.
They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
7 Itinayo ni Solomon ang bulwagan ng trono kung saan siya maghuhukom, ang bulwagan ng katarungan. Ang bawat palapag ay nababalutan ng sedar.
Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
8 Ang tahanan ni Solomon kung saan siya maninirahan, sa ibang patyo sa loob ng palasyo, ay katulad din ang disenyo. Siya rin ay nagtayo ng tahanang tulad nito para sa anak na babae ng Paraon, na kaniyang ginawang asawa.
In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
9 Ang mga gusaling ito ay pinalamutian ng mamahalin na batong natagpas, sinukat nang maagi at hinati ng lagari at pinakinis sa lahat ng panig. Ang mga batong ito ay ginamit mula sa pundasyon hanggang sa mga bato sa itaas at sa labas din ng malaking patyo.
All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
10 Ang pundasyon ay itinayo gamit ang napakalaki, mamahaling bato na walo at sampung kubit ang haba.
The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
11 Nasa itaas ang mamahaling mga batong natagpas nang wasto sa sukat, at mga bigang sedar.
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 Ang malaking patyo na nasa paligid ng palasyo ay may tatlong hanay ng tinagpas na bato at isang hanay ng bigang sedar tulad sa loob ng templo ni Yahweh at ng portiko ng templo.
The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
13 Pinasundo ni Haring Solomon si Hiram at dinala siya mula sa Tiro.
There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
14 Si Hiram ay anak na lalaki ng isang balo ng tribo ng Nephtali; ang kaniyang ama ay lalaking taga-Tiro, isang mahusay na manggagawa ng tanso. Si Hiram ay puno ng karunungan at kaalaman at kahusayan sa malaking gawain gamit ang tanso. Pumunta siya kay Haring Solomon para gumawa ng lahat ng kagamitan na yari sa tanso para sa hari.
15 Hinugis ni Hiram ang dalawang poste ng tanso, bawat isa ay labing walong kubit ang taas at labing dalawang kubit ang palibot.
He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16 Siya ay gumawa ng dalawang kapitel ng makintab na tanso para ilagay sa taas ng poste. Ang taas ng bawat kapitel ay limang siko.
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 May mga mahahaba't makitid na mga metal na nilmabat at mga tinirintas na mga tanikala para sa mga kapitel na ginawang mga palamuti sa taas ng mga haligi, pito sa bawat kapitel.
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 Kaya si Hiram ay gumawa ng dalawang hanay ng mga granada sa paligid ng bawat poste para palamutian ang kanilang mga kapitel.
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 Ang mga kapitel sa itaas ng poste ng portiko ay may palamuti ng mga liryo, apat na kubit ang taas.
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 Kasama din ang kapitel sa dalawang haligi, malapit sa kanilang tuktok, ay nakapalibot ang dalawang daang nakahanay na granada.
These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
21 Kaniyang itinayo ang mga poste sa portiko ng templo. Ang poste sa kanan ay pinangalanang Jakin, at ang poste sa kaliwa ay Boaz.
His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
22 Sa itaas ng mga haligi ay mga palamuti tulad ng mga liryo. Ang paghuhugis ng mga haligi ay natapos sa ganitong paraan.
The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
23 Naghulma ng pabilog na dagat na bakal si Hiram, sampung kubit mula sa labi't labi. Ang taas nito ay limang kubit, at ang dagat ay tatlumpung kubit ang palibot na sukat.
Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
24 Sa ilalim ng labi ay nakapalibot sa dagat ay bunga ng halamang gumagapang, sampu sa bawat kubit, hinulma lahat kasabay ng hinulmang dagat.
Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
25 Ang dagat ay nakapatong sa labing dalawang hinulmang baka, tatlong nakaharap sa hilaga, tatlong nakaharap sa kanluran, tatlong nakaharap sa timog, at tatlong nakaharap sa silangan. Ang dagat ay nakapatong sa kanila, at ang lahat ng kanilang puwitan ay nakapwesto sa bandang loob.
Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
26 Ang dagat ay kasing kapal ng isang kamay, at ang labi nito ay hinulma tulad ng labi ng isang tasa, tulad ng isang bulaklak na liryo. Ang dagat ay naglalaman ng dalawang libong bat na tubig.
The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
27 Gumawa si Hiram ng sampung patungan na tanso. Bawat isang patungan ay apat na kubit ang haba at apat na kubit ang lapad, at tatlong kubit ang taas.
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 Ang pagkakagawa ng patungan ay tulad nito. Mayroon silang mga mahahabang tabla na nakatayo sa pagitan ng mga balangkas,
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 at sa mga tabla at mga balangkas ay mga leon, mga baka, at mga kerubin. Sa itaas at sa ibaba ng mga leon at mga baka ay mga koronang pinanday.
On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
30 Ang bawat patungan ay may apat na tansong gulong at ehe, at ang apat na sulok nito ay may suporta sa ilalim para sa kawa. Ang mga suporta ay hinulma sa korona sa gilid ng bawat isa.
Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
31 Ang bukana ay bilog tulad ng isang patungan, isang kubit at kalahating lawak, at nasa loob ng korona na nakaangat ang isang kubit. Sa bukana ay mga inukit na bagay, at ang kanilang mga tabla ay parisukat, hindi bilog.
On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
32 Ang apat na gulong ay nakapailalam sa mga tabla, at ang mga ehe ng mga gulong at ang kanilang mga bahay ay nasa patungan. Ang taas ng isang gulong ay isa't kalahating kubit.
The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
33 Ang mga gulong ay pinanday tulad ng mga gulong ng mga karwaheng pandigma. Ang kanilang bahay, mga gilid, mga rayos ng gulong at boha ay hinulmang bakal.
The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
34 Mayroong apat na hawakan sa apat na sulok ng bawat tuntungan, ipinanday mismo sa tuntungan.
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 Sa itaas ng mga tuntungan ay may isang nakapalibot na tali na kalahating kubit ang lalim, at sa itaas ng tuntungan ang mga suporta nito at ang mga mahabang tabla nito ay nakakabit.
There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
36 Sa ibabaw ng mga suporta at sa mga tabla si Hiram ay umukit ng mga kerubin, mga leon, at mga puno ng palma na nagtakip ng puwang, at sila ay napapalibutan ng mga korona.
The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
37 Ginawa niya ang sampung patungan sa ganitong paraan. Ang lahat ng iyon ay hinulma sa iisang hulmahan, at mayroon silang isang sukat, at kaparehang hugis.
That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
38 Si Hiram ay gumawa ng sampung hugasang tanso. Ang isang hugasan ay kayang humawak ng apatnapung bat na tubig. Bawat hugasan ay apat na mga kubit ang lapad, at mayroong isang hugasan sa bawat sampung mga patungan.
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 Gumawa siya ng limang mga patungan na nakaharap sa bahaging timog ng templo at lima sa hilagang bahagi ng templo. Nilagay niya ang dagat sa silangang sulok, nakaharap sa bahaging timog ng templo.
Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
40 Ginawa ni Hiram ang mga hugasan at ang mga pala at patubigang mangkok. Pagkatapos kaniyang natapos ang lahat ng kaniyang ginawa para kay Haring Solomon sa templo ni Yahweh:
Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
41 ang dalawang poste, at ang tulad-mangkok na mga kapitel na nasa itaas ng dalawang poste, at ang dalawang pangkat ng palamuting lambat para takpan ang dalawang tulad mangkok na mga kapitel na nasa itaas ng mga poste.
the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
42 Ginawa niya ang apat na daang granada para sa dalawang pangkat ng palamuting nilambat: dalawang hanay ng granada para sa bawat pangkat ng palamuting nilambat para takpan ang dalawang tulad mangkok ng mga kapitel na nasa mga poste,
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 at ang sampung mga patungan, at ang sampung hugasan sa mga patungan.
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 Ginawa niya ang dagat at ang labing dalawang mga bakang nasa ilalim nito;
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 gayun din ang mga kaldero, mga pala, mga kawa, at lahat ng iba pang kasangkapan — ang mga ito ay ginawa ni Hiram mula sa makintab na tanso, para kay Haring Solomon, para sa templo ni Yahweh.
the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
46 Pinahulma ito ng Hari sa kapatagan ng Jordan, sa isang maputik na lupain sa pagitan ng Succoth at Sarthan.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Hindi tinimbang ni Solomon ang lahat ng mga kasangkapan dahil masyadong marami para timbangin, kaya ang timbang ng tanso ay hindi malalaman.
Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
48 Pinagawa ni Solomon ang lahat ng kasangkapan na nasa loob ng templo ni Yahweh mula sa ginto: ang gintong dambana at ang lamesa kung saan ilalagay ang tinapay na handog.
Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
49 Ang patungan ng ilaw, lima sa kanan at lima sa kaliwa, sa harap ng panloob na silid ay gawa sa purong ginto, at ang mga bulaklak, ang mga ilawan, at ang mga pang-ipit ay ginto.
the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
50 Ang mga saro, ang panggupit ng ilawan, mga mangkok, mga kutsara, at mga pansindi ng insenso ay nilikha mula sa purong ginto. Gayundin ang mga bisagra ng pinto ng panloob na silid, na siyang kabanal-banalang lugar, at ang mga pintuan ng pangunahing bulwagan ng templo ay gawa din sa ginto.
the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
51 Sa ganitong paraan, ang lahat ng gawain ni Haring Solomon sa tahanan ni Yahweh ay tapos na. Kaya ipinasok ni Solomon ang mga bagay na inihandog ni David, na kaniyang ama, kay Yahweh, at ang pilak, ang ginto, at ang mga kasangkapan, at nilagay ito sa bodega sa tahanan ni Yahweh.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
