1 Kings 7
1 Solomoni sì lo ọdún mẹ́tàlá láti fi kọ́ ààfin rẹ̀, ó sì parí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ààfin rẹ̀.
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 Ó kọ́ ilé igbó Lebanoni pẹ̀lú; gígùn rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ọgọ́rùn-ún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, àti àádọ́ta ìgbọ̀nwọ́ ní ìbú rẹ̀ àti gíga rẹ̀ ọgbọ̀n ìgbọ̀nwọ́; pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ mẹ́rin igi kedari, àti ìdábùú igi kedari lórí òpó náà.
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 A sì fi igi kedari tẹ́ ẹ lókè lórí yàrá tí ó jókòó lórí ọ̀wọ́n márùnlélógójì, mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún ní ọ̀wọ́.
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 Fèrèsé rẹ̀ ni a gbé sókè ní ọ̀wọ́ mẹ́ta, kọjú sí ara wọn.
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 Gbogbo ìlẹ̀kùn àti òpó sì dọ́gba ní igun mẹ́rin: wọ́n sì wà ní apá iwájú ní ọ̀wọ́ mẹ́ta, wọ́n kọjú sí ara wọn.
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 Ó sì fi ọ̀wọ́n ṣe gbàngàn ìdájọ́: àádọ́ta ìgbọ̀nwọ́ ni gígùn rẹ̀, ìbú rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ọgbọ̀n ìgbọ̀nwọ́. Ìloro kan sì wà níwájú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀wọ́n àti ìbòrí ìgúnwà níwájú wọn.
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 Ó sì ṣe gbàngàn ìtẹ́, gbàngàn ìdájọ́, níbi tí yóò ti ṣe ìdájọ́, ó sì fi igi kedari bò ó láti ilẹ̀ dé àjà ilé.
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 Ààfin rẹ̀ níbi tí yóò sì gbé wà ní àgbàlá lẹ́yìn ààfin, irú kan náà ni wọ́n. Solomoni sì kọ́ ààfin tí ó rí bí gbàngàn yìí fún ọmọbìnrin Farao tí ó ní ní aya.
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 Gbogbo wọ̀nyí láti òde dé apá àgbàlá ńlá, àti láti ìpìlẹ̀ dé ìbòrí òkè ilé, wọ́n sì jẹ́ òkúta iyebíye gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀n òkúta gbígbẹ, tí a fi ayùn rẹ́ nínú àti lóde.
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 Ìpìlẹ̀ náà jẹ́ òkúta iyebíye, àní òkúta ńlá ńlá, àwọn mìíràn wọn ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́wàá, àwọn mìíràn ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́jọ.
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 Lókè ni òkúta iyebíye wà nípa ìwọ̀n òkúta tí a gbẹ́ àti igi kedari.
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 Àgbàlá ńlá náà yíkákiri ògiri pẹ̀lú ọ̀wọ́ mẹ́ta òkúta gbígbẹ́ àti ọ̀wọ́n kan igi ìdábùú ti kedari, bí ti inú lọ́hùn ún àgbàlá ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú ìloro rẹ̀.
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 Solomoni ọba ránṣẹ́ sí Tire, ó sì mú Hiramu wá,
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 ẹni tí ìyá rẹ̀ jẹ́ opó láti inú ẹ̀yà Naftali àti tí baba rẹ̀ sì ṣe ará Tire, alágbẹ̀dẹ idẹ. Hiramu sì kún fún ọgbọ́n àti òye, àti ìmọ̀ láti ṣe oríṣìíríṣìí iṣẹ́ idẹ. Ó wá sọ́dọ̀ Solomoni ọba, ó sì ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí wọ́n gbé fún un.
15 Ó sì dá ọ̀wọ́n idẹ méjì, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan sì jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ méjìdínlógún ní gíga okùn ìgbọ̀nwọ́ méjìlá ni ó sì yí wọn ká.
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 Ó sì túnṣe ìparí méjì ti idẹ dídá láti fi sókè àwọn ọ̀wọ́n náà, ìparí kan sì jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ márùn-ún ní gíga.
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 Onírúurú iṣẹ́, àti ohun híhun ẹ̀wọ̀n fún àwọn ìparí tí ń bẹ lórí àwọn ọ̀wọ́n náà, méje fún ìparí kọ̀ọ̀kan.
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 Ó sì ṣe àwọn pomegiranate ní ọ̀wọ́ méjì yíkákiri lára iṣẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n náà, láti fi bo àwọn ìparí ti ń bẹ lókè, ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ fún ìparí kejì.
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 Àwọn ìparí tí ń bẹ ní òkè àwọn ọ̀wọ́n náà tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀dẹ̀dẹ̀ náà dàbí àwòrán lílì, ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́rin ní gíga.
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 Lórí àwọn ìparí ọ̀wọ́n méjì náà lókè, wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ibi tí ó yẹ lára ọ̀wọ́n tí ó wà níbi iṣẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n, wọ́n sì jẹ́ igba pomegiranate ní ọ̀wọ́ yíkákiri.
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 Ó sì gbé àwọn ọ̀wọn náà ró ní ìloro tẹmpili, ó sì pe orúkọ ọ̀wọ́n tí ó wà ní gúúsù ní Jakini àti èyí tí ó wà ní àríwá ní Boasi.
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 Àwọn ìparí lókè sì jẹ́ àwòrán lílì. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iṣẹ́ ti àwọn ọ̀wọ́n sì parí.
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 Ó sì ṣe agbádá dídá, ó ṣe bíríkítí, ó wọn ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́wàá láti etí kan dé èkejì àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ márùn-ún ní gíga rẹ̀. Ó sì gba okùn ọgbọ̀n ìgbọ̀nwọ́ láti wọ́n yí i ká.
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 Ní ìsàlẹ̀ etí rẹ̀, kókó wá yí i ká, mẹ́wàá nínú ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan. Ó yí agbádá náà káàkiri, a dá kókó náà ní ọ̀wọ́ méjì, nígbà tí a dá a.
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 Ó sì dúró lórí màlúù méjìlá, mẹ́ta kọjú sí àríwá, mẹ́ta sì kọjú sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn, mẹ́ta kọjú sí gúúsù, mẹ́ta sì kọjú sí ìlà-oòrùn. Agbada náà sì jókòó lórí wọn, gbogbo apá ẹ̀yìn wọn sì ń bẹ nínú.
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 Ó sì nípọn tó ìbú àtẹ́lẹwọ́, etí rẹ̀ sì dàbí etí ago, bí ìtànná lílì. Ó sì gba ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ìwọ̀n bati.
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 Ó sì túnṣe ẹsẹ̀ idẹ tí a lè gbé mẹ́wàá, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sì jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́rin ní gígùn, ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́rin ní ìbú àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́ta ní gíga.
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 Báyìí ni a sì ṣe ẹsẹ̀ náà, wọ́n ní àlàfo ọnà àárín tí a so mọ́ agbede-méjì ìpàdé etí.
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 Lórí àlàfo ọnà àárín tí ó wà lágbedeméjì ni àwòrán kìnnìún, màlúù, àti àwọn kérúbù wà, àti lórí ìpàdé etí bákan náà. Lókè àti nísàlẹ̀ àwọn kìnnìún, màlúù sì ni iṣẹ́ ọ̀ṣọ́ wà.
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 Ẹsẹ̀ kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ni kẹ̀kẹ́ idẹ mẹ́rin pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá kẹ̀kẹ́ idẹ, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ni ó ní ìfẹsẹ̀tẹ̀ lábẹ́, tí a gbẹ́, iṣẹ́ ọ̀ṣọ́ wà ní ìhà gbogbo rẹ̀.
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 Nínú ẹsẹ̀ náà ẹnu kan wà tí ó kọ bíríkítí tí ó jìn ní ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan. Ẹnu yìí ṣe róbótó àti pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan àti ààbọ̀. Ní àyíká ẹnu rẹ̀ ni ohun ọnà gbígbẹ́ wà. Àlàfo ọ̀nà àárín ẹsẹ̀ náà sì ní igun mẹ́rin, wọn kò yíká.
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 Kẹ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rin sì wà nísàlẹ̀ àlàfo ọ̀nà àárín, a sì so ọ̀pá àyíká kẹ̀kẹ́ náà mọ́ ẹsẹ̀ náà. Gíga àyíká kẹ̀kẹ́ kan sì jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan àti ààbọ̀.
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 A sì ṣe àyíká kẹ̀kẹ́ náà bí i iṣẹ́ kẹ̀kẹ́; igi ìdálu, ibi ihò, ibi ìpàdé, àti ọ̀pá tẹ́ẹ́rẹ́tẹ́ẹ́rẹ́ wọn, gbogbo wọn sì jẹ́ irin dídà.
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 Ẹsẹ̀ kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ní ìfẹsẹ̀tẹ̀ mẹ́rin, ọ̀kan ní igun kọ̀ọ̀kan, tí ó yọrí jáde láti ẹsẹ̀.
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 Lókè ẹsẹ̀ náà ni àyíká kan wà tí ó jẹ́ ààbọ̀ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ ní jíjìn. Ẹ̀gbẹ́ etí rẹ̀ àti àlàfo ọ̀nà àárín rẹ̀ ni a so mọ́ òkè ẹsẹ̀ náà.
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 Ó sì gbẹ́ àwòrán kérúbù, kìnnìún àti igi ọ̀pẹ, sára ìgbátí rẹ̀ àti sára pákó tí ó gbé ró, ní gbogbo ibi tí ààyè wà, pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ ọ̀ṣọ́ yíkákiri.
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 Báyìí ni ó ṣe ṣe àwọn ẹsẹ̀ mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá. Wọ́n sì gbẹ́ gbogbo wọn bákan náà, ìwọ̀n kan náà àti títóbi kan náà.
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 Nígbà náà ni ó ṣe agbádá idẹ mẹ́wàá, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan gbà tó ogójì ìwọ̀n bati, ó sì wọn ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́rin, lórí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ẹsẹ̀ mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá náà ni agbádá kọ̀ọ̀kan wà.
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 Ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ márùn-ún sí apá ọ̀tún ìhà gúúsù ilé náà àti márùn-ún sí apá òsì ìhà àríwá. Ó sì gbé agbádá ńlá ka apá ọ̀tún, ní apá ìlà-oòrùn sí ìdojúkọ gúúsù ilé náà.
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 Ó sì túnṣe ìkòkò, àti ọkọ́ àti àwokòtò. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Huramu sì parí gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí ó ṣe fún ilé Olúwa fún Solomoni ọba.
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 Àwọn ọ̀wọ́n méjì; ọpọ́n méjì ìparí tí ó wà lókè àwọn ọ̀wọ́n iṣẹ́; àwọn méjì ní láti bo ọpọ́n méjì ìparí tí ń bẹ lókè àwọn ọ̀wọ́n;
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 irinwó pomegiranate fún iṣẹ́ àwọn méjì, ọ̀wọ́ méjì pomegiranate fún iṣẹ́ àwọn kan láti bo àwọn ọpọ́n méjì ìparí tí ń bẹ lókè àwọn ọ̀wọ́n;
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 ẹsẹ̀ mẹ́wàá pẹ̀lú agbádá mẹ́wàá wọn;
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 agbada ńlá náà, àti màlúù méjìlá tí ó wà lábẹ́ rẹ̀;
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 ìkòkò, ọkọ́ àti àwokòtò. Gbogbo ohun èlò wọ̀nyí tí Hiramu ṣe fún Solomoni ọba nítorí iṣẹ́ Olúwa sì jẹ́ idẹ dídán.
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 Ọba sì dá wọn ní ilẹ̀ amọ̀ ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jordani lágbedeméjì Sukkoti àti Saretani.
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 Solomoni sì jọ̀wọ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí láìwọ́n, nítorí tí wọ́n pọ̀jù; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì mọ ìwọ̀n idẹ.
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 Solomoni sì túnṣe gbogbo ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ tí ń ṣe ti ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú: pẹpẹ wúrà; tábìlì wúrà lórí èyí tí àkàrà ìfihàn gbé wà.
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 Ọ̀pá fìtílà kìkì wúrà, márùn-ún ní apá ọ̀tún àti márùn-ún ní apá òsì, níwájú ibi mímọ́ jùlọ; ìtànná ewéko; fìtílà àti ẹ̀mú wúrà;
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 ọpọ́n kìkì wúrà, alumagaji fìtílà, àti àwokòtò, àti ṣíbí àti àwo tùràrí ti wúrà dáradára; àti àgbékọ́ wúrà fún ìlẹ̀kùn inú ilé Ibi Mímọ́ Jùlọ àti fún ìlẹ̀kùn ilé náà, àní ti tẹmpili.
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 Nígbà tí gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí Solomoni ọba ṣe fún ilé Olúwa parí, ó mú gbogbo nǹkan tí Dafidi baba rẹ̀ ti yà sí mímọ́ wá; fàdákà, wúrà àti ohun èlò, ó sì fi wọ́n sínú ìṣúra ilé Olúwa.
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.
