2 Chronicles 3
1 So Salomon began to buyld the house of the Lord in Ierusalem, in mount Moriah which had bene declared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid prepared in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.
Kisha Selemani akaanza kuijenga nyumba ya Yahwe katika Yerusalemu juu ya Mlima Moria, ambako Yahwe alimtokea Daudi baba yake. Aliandaa sehemu ambayo Daudi aliikusudia, katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Arauna Myebusi.
2 And he beganne to buylde in the seconde moneth and the second day, in the fourth yeere of his reigne.
Alianza kujenga siku ya pili ya mwezi wa pili, katika mwaka wa nne wa utawala wake.
3 And these are the measures, whereon Salomon grounded to buylde the house of God: the length of cubites after the first measure was threescore cubites, and the breadth twenty cubites:
Sasa hivi ndinyo vipimo vya ule msingi ambao Selemani alijenga kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Mungu. Akitumia mtindo wa vipimo vya zamani, urefu ulikuwa mikono sitini, na upana ulikuwa mikono ishirini.
4 And the porch, that was before the length in the front of the breadth was twentie cubits, and the height was an hundreth and twentie, and he ouerlayd it within with pure golde.
Urefu wa ukumbi mbele ya nyumba ulikuwa mikono ishirini, ukilingana na upana wa nyumba, urefu wake kwenda juu pia ulikuwa mikono ishirini, na Selemani akaifunika sehemu ya ndani kwa dhahabu halisi.
5 And the greater house he sieled with firre tree which he ouerlayd with good golde, and graued thereon palme trees and chaines.
Akailitengeneza paa la ukumbi mkuu kwa miti ya miberoshi, ambayo aliifunika kwa dhahabu halisi, na ambayo aliifunika kwa miti ya mitende na minyororo.
6 And hee ouerlayde the house with precious stone for beautie: and the golde was gold of Paruaim.
Akaipamba nyumba kwa vito vya thamani; dhahabu ilikuwa dhahabu kutoka Parvaimu.
7 The house, I say, the beames, postes, and walles thereof and the doores thereof ouerlayde he with gold, and graued Cherubims vpon the walles.
Pia akazifunika boriti zake, vizingiti, kuta, na milango kwa dhahabu; akachonga makerubi juu ya kuta zake.
8 He made also the house of the most holy place: the length thereof was in the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twentie cubites: and he ouerlayde it with the best golde, of sixe hundreth talents.
Akaijenga sehemu ya patakatifu pa patakatifu. Urefu wake ulilingana na upana wa nyumba, mikono ishirini, na upana wake pia ulikuwa mikono ishirini. Aliifunika kwa dhahabu halisi, thamani yake ilikuwa talanta mia sita.
9 And the weight of the nayles was fiftie shekels of golde, and hee ouerlayde the chambers with golde.
Uzito wa misumari ulikuwa shekeli hamsini za dhahabu. Alizifunika sehemu za juu kwa dhahabu.
10 And in the house of the most holy place he made two Cherubims wrought like children, and ouerlayd them with golde.
Akachonga makerubi wawili kwa ajili ya sehemu za patakatifu pa patakatifu, wahunzi wakayafunika kwa dhahabu. (Maandishi ya kale yanasema: makerubi wawili waliochongwa kwenye mbao).
11 And the winges of the Cherubims were twentie cubites long: the one wing was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites, reaching to the wing of the other Cherub.
Mabawa ya makerubi yalikuwa na urefu wa mikono ishirini yote kwa pamoja; bawa la kerubi mmoja lilikuwa na urefu wa mikono mitano, lilifikia kwenye ukuta wa chumba; bawa jingine lilikuwa na urefu wa mikono mitano pia.
12 Likewise the wing of ye other Cherub was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites ioyning to the wing of the other Cherub.
Bawa la kerubi mwingine lilikuwa mikono mitano, likifikia kwenye ukuta wa chumba; bawa lake jingine lilikuwa mikono mitano pia, likigusana na bawa la kerubi wa kwanza.
13 The wings of these Cherubims were spread abroade twentie cubites: they stoode on their feete, and their faces were toward the house.
Mabawa ya makerubi hawa yalienea jumla ya mikono mitano. Makerubi yalisimama kwa miguu yake, na nyuso zake zikiuelekea ukumbi mkuu.
14 He made also the vaile of blew silke and purple, and crimosin, and fine linen, and wrought Cherubims thereon.
Akatengeneza pazia la samawati, dhambarau, na sufu nyekundu, na kitani safi, na akachora makerubi juu yake.
15 And he made before the house two pillars of fiue and thirtie cubites hie: and the chapiter that was vpon the top of eche of them, was fiue cubites.
Selemani pia akatengeneza nguzo mbili, kila moja ikiwa na urefu wa mikono thelathini na tano kwenda juu, kwa maana mbele ya nyumba; taji ambazo zilikuwa juu ya nguzo zilikuwa na urefu wa mikono mitano kwenda juu.
16 He made also chaines for the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars, and made an hundreth pomegranates, and put them among the chaines.
Akatengeneza minyororo kwa ajili ya nguzo na akaiweka juu yake, pia akatengeneza maakomamanga mia moja na akayaunganisha kwenye minyororo.
17 And he set vp the pillars before the Temple, one on the right hande and the other on the left, and called that on the right hand Iachin, and that on the left hand Boaz.
Akazisimamisha nguzo mbele ya hekalu, mkono wa kulia, na nyingine mkono wa kushoto; akaiita nguzo ya kulia Yakini, na nguzo ya kushoto akaiita Boazi.
