1 Kings 6
1 And so it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year (in the month of Zif, the same, being the second month) of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he began to build the house unto Yahweh.
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 Now, the house which King Solomon built unto Yahweh, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, —and thirty cubits in height.
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 in front of the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, according to the breadth of the house, —ten cubits in breadth, in front of 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 he made to the house windows, with closed bars.
Nake agĩakĩra hekarũ ndirica ngundeeru cia na igũrũ.
5 And he built—by the wall of the house—a gallery, round about, against the walls of the house, round about, both to the temple, and to the shrine, —and he made side 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, lowest gallery, was five cubits broad, and, the middle, six cubits broad, and, the third, seven cubits broad, —for he put, ledges, against the house round about, on the outer side, so as not to make fastenings 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 Now, the house, when it was in building, with whole quarry-stones, was built, —neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tools of iron, was heard in the house, when 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 entrance of the lowest story, was on the right side of the house, —and, by winding stairs, went they up unto the middle [story], 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 ceiled the house with planks and beams of cedar;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩaka hekarũ na akĩmĩrĩkia, akĩmĩgita na mĩgamba na mbaũ cia mĩtarakwa.
10 and built the gallery against all the house, five cubits in height, —and so fastened 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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Solomon, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩgĩakinyĩire Solomoni, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
12 Concerning this house, which thou art building, If thou wilt walk in my statutes, and, my regulations, wilt practise, and so observe all my commandments, by walking in them, Then will I establish 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 will make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel, —and will not forsake my people Israel.
Na nĩngatũũrania na andũ a Isiraeli, na ndigatiganĩria andũ akwa a Isiraeli.”
14 Thus Solomon built the house, and finished it;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩaka hekarũ na akĩmĩrĩkia.
15 and he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house, unto the cross-beams of the ceiling, he overlaid it with wood, on the inside, —and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards 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, at the hinder part of the house, with boards of cedar, from the floor as far as the cross-beams, —and he built it within, for a shrine, even for the holy of holies;
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 but, forty cubits, was the house itself, —the same, was the temple, before the oracle.
Ũraihu wa nyũmba ĩrĩa nene yarĩ mbere ya kanyũmba kau warĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩna kũraiha.
18 And, the cedar for the house within, was carved with colocynths, and with festoons of flowers, —the whole, was cedar, there was no stone to be 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 shrine in the midst of the house within, made he ready, —for placing there, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
Thĩinĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre, hekarũ thĩinĩ nĩathondekire handũ ha kũigĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
20 And, the interior of the shrine, was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it, with pure gold, —and overlaid the altar with 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 Thus then did Solomon overlay the house within, with pure gold, —and he drew chains of gold across the front of the shrine, and 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 yea, all the house, overlaid he with gold, until he had made all the house into one whole, —even all the altar that was by the shrine, overlaid he with gold.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgemia thĩinĩ guothe na thahabu. Ningĩ nĩagemirie kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre na thahabu.
23 And he made, within the shrine, two cherubim of wild olive wood, —ten cubits in height;
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 second wing of the cherub, —ten cubits, from the one end of his wings unto the other end of his wings.
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 Ten cubits, also was the second cherub, —of one size and one shape, were the two cherubim.
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, of the second cherub.
Ũraihu wa o ikerubi rĩmwe warĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi.
27 And he placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the cherubim stretched forth their wings, —so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub, was touching the other wall, —and, their wings in the midst of the house, were touching, wing to wing.
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 cherubim with gold.
Nĩaagemirie makerubi macio na thahabu.
29 And, all the walls of the house round about, carved he with figures of cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of 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 Even the floor of the house, overlaid he with gold, —within and without.
Ningĩ akĩhumbĩra thĩ ya tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ na twa nja ya hekarũ na thahabu.
31 And, the entrance of the shrine, made he with doors, of wild olive-wood, the pillars and posts being a fifth.
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-wood, and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, —yea he spread out, over the cherubim and over the palm-trees, the gold.
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 entrance of the temple, with posts of wild olive-wood, —a fourth part.
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 wood, —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 cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, smoothed out on 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 hewn stone, —and a row of beams of cedar.
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 laid the foundation of the house of Yahweh, —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—the same, is the eighth month, was the house finished, as to all the particulars thereof, and as to all the appointments thereof, —so then he built it in seven years.
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.
