1 Kings 6
1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
Mwaka-inĩ wa magana mana na mĩrongo ĩnana, thuutha wa andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, o mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa Solomoni gũthamakĩra Isiraeli, mweri-inĩ wa Zivu, naguo nĩguo mweri wa keerĩ-rĩ, Solomoni akĩambĩrĩria gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova.
2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.
Hekarũ ĩrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aakĩire Jehova yarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na ũraihu wa na igũrũ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits [was] the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits [was] the breadth thereof before the house.
Gĩthaku kĩa mwena wa mbere wa nyũmba ĩyo nene ya hekarũ nĩkĩongereire wariĩ wa hekarũ, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na gĩgacomoka mĩkono ikũmi kuuma na mwena wa mbere wa hekarũ.
4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
Nake agĩakĩra hekarũ ndirica ngundeeru cia na igũrũ.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, [against] the walls of the house round about, [both] of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
Nĩaakithirie tũnyũmba twa mĩena-inĩ, tũgĩthiũrũrũkĩria hekarũ yothe tũnyiitanĩte na thingo cia nyũmba ĩrĩa nene ya hekarũ na cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha na thĩinĩ.
6 The nethermost chamber [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [was] six cubits broad, and the third [was] seven cubits broad: for without [in the wall] of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that [the beams] should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
Ngoroba ya thĩ mũno yarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano, na ya gatagatĩ yarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ, na ya gatatũ yarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono mũgwanja. Nĩathondekire mbako ithiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa na nja wa hekarũ, nĩgeetha mbaũ iria ndungu cia mwako itigatoonyio thingo-inĩ cia hekarũ.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Hekarũ ĩgĩakwo-rĩ, mahiga marĩa maicũhĩirio kware no mo maahũthĩrirwo, na gũtiarĩ nyondo, kana ithanwa, kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ gĩa kĩgera kĩaiguirwo hau mwako-inĩ wa hekarũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe yaakagwo.
8 The door for the middle chamber [was] in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle [chamber], and out of the middle into the third.
Mũromo wa gũtoonya ngoroba ya thĩ warĩ mwena wa gũthini wa hekarũ; ningĩ nĩ haarĩ na ngathĩ ya kwambata ngoroba ya gatagatĩ na kuuma hau ĩgathiĩ ngoroba ya gatatũ.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩaka hekarũ na akĩmĩrĩkia, akĩmĩgita na mĩgamba na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.
10 And [then] he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house [with] timber of cedar.
Na nĩakĩrĩire tũnyũmba twa rwere tũthiũrũkĩirie hekarũ, ũraihu wa o kamwe warĩ mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha na igũrũ, natuo twanyiitithanĩtio na hekarũ na mĩgamba ya mĩtarakwa.
11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩgĩakinyĩire Solomoni, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
12 [Concerning] this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
“Ha ũhoro wa hekarũ ĩno ũraaka-rĩ, ũngĩrũmĩrĩra uuge wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na ũrũmie mawatho makwa mothe, o na ũmenyerere maathani makwa na ũmathĩkagĩre, nĩngakũhingĩria kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa ndaaheire thoguo Daudi.
13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
Na nĩngatũũrania na andũ a Isiraeli, na ndigatiganĩria andũ akwa a Isiraeli.”
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩaka hekarũ na akĩmĩrĩkia.
15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
Nake akĩhumbĩra thingo cia thĩinĩ na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa, ciarĩtwo kuuma thĩ ya hekarũ nginya igũrũ, nakuo thĩ ya hekarũ gũkĩarwo mbaũ cia mũthengera.
16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].
Mwena wa thuutha wa hekarũ akĩgayania mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa kuuma thĩ nginya igũrũ, nĩgeetha hekarũ-inĩ hagĩe handũ haamũre thĩinĩ, hatuĩke Harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno.
17 And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].
Ũraihu wa nyũmba ĩrĩa nene yarĩ mbere ya kanyũmba kau warĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩna kũraiha.
18 And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.
Hekarũ thĩinĩ kwahumbĩrĩtwo na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa, ciicũhĩtio magemio mahaana tũbũũthũ na mahũa macanũku. Indo ciothe ciarĩ cia mĩtarakwa; gũtiarĩ ihiga o na rĩmwe rĩonekaga.
19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
Thĩinĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre, hekarũ thĩinĩ nĩathondekire handũ ha kũigĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
20 And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar.
Hau thĩinĩ haamũre, ũraihu waho warĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ. Nake nĩagemirie mwena wa thĩinĩ na thahabu therie, na ningĩ akĩgemia kĩgongona kĩu na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
Solomoni aahumbĩrire hekarũ thĩinĩ na thahabu therie, na agĩkĩrania irengeeri cia thahabu mbere ya itoonyero rĩa hau thĩinĩ haamũre harĩa haagemetio na thahabu.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgemia thĩinĩ guothe na thahabu. Ningĩ nĩagemirie kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre na thahabu.
23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive tree, [each] ten cubits high.
Hau thĩinĩ haamũre, agĩthondeka makerubi meerĩ na mbaũ cia mĩtamaiyũ, ikerubi o rĩmwe rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ikũmi kũraiha na igũrũ.
24 And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.
Ikerubi rĩa mbere rĩarĩ na ithagu rĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha, na rĩu rĩngĩ mĩkono ĩtano; ũguo nĩ kuuga mĩkono ikũmi kuuma mũthia wa ithagu rĩmwe nginya mũthia wa ithagu rĩrĩa rĩngĩ.
25 And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.
Ikerubi rĩa keerĩ o narĩo rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ikũmi; makerubi macio meerĩ nĩmaiganaine na makahaanana.
26 The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.
Ũraihu wa o ikerubi rĩmwe warĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi.
27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
Nĩaigire makerubi macio kanyũmba ga thĩinĩ mũno ka hekarũ, matambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo. Ithagu rĩa ikerubi rĩmwe rĩaturumĩte rũthingo rũmwe, narĩo ithagu rĩa ikerubi rĩu rĩngĩ rĩgaturuma rũthingo rũu rũngĩ. Na mathagu mamo magaturumanĩra gatagatĩ ga kanyũmba.
28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
Nĩaagemirie makerubi macio na thahabu.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
Thingo-inĩ iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie hekarũ, thĩinĩ wa tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ na twa na nja, agĩicũhia magemio ma makerubi, na ma mĩtĩ ya mĩtende, na ma mahũa macanũku.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
Ningĩ akĩhumbĩra thĩ ya tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ na twa nja ya hekarũ na thahabu.
31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].
Narĩo itoonyero rĩa hau thĩinĩ haamũre agĩthondeka mĩrango ya mbaũ cia mĩtamaiyũ, nacio buremu ciayo ciarĩ na mĩena ĩtano.
32 The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
Na mĩrango-ini yeerĩ ya mbaũ cia mĩtamaiyũ agĩicũhia magemio ma makerubi, na ma mĩtĩ ya mĩtende na ma mahũa macanũku, na akĩgemia makerubi na mĩtĩ ya mĩtende na thahabu hũũre.
33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].
O ũndũ ũmwe nĩathondekire buremu irĩ na mĩena ĩna cia mĩtamaiyũ cia itoonyero rĩa nyũmba ĩrĩa nene.
34 And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were] folding.
Ningĩ agĩthondeka mĩrango ĩĩrĩ ya mbaũ cia mĩthengera, o mũrango warĩ na icunjĩ igĩrĩ ciekũnjaga wahingũrwo.
35 And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.
Nĩacũhirie makerubi, na mĩtĩ ya mĩtende, na mahũa macanũku igũrũ rĩa mĩrango ĩyo, na akĩmĩgemia na thahabu hũũre ĩigananĩirie wega maicũhio-inĩ macio.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
Na nĩaakire nja ya thĩinĩ na mĩhari ĩtatũ ya mahiga maicũhie na mũhari ũngĩ ũmwe wa mĩgamba mĩicũhie ya mĩtarakwa.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
Mũthingi wa hekarũ ĩyo ya Jehova wakirwo mwaka wa ĩna wa mweri wa Zivu.
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe mweri-inĩ wa Bulu, nĩguo mweri wa ĩnana, nĩguo hekarũ yarĩkire hamwe na maũndũ mayo mothe kũringana na ũrĩa yerĩtwo yakwo. Aikarire ihinda rĩa mĩaka mũgwanja akĩmĩaka.
