1 Kings 7
1 But, his own house, was Solomon thirteen years in building, —so he finished all his house.
Ilimchukua Solomoni miaka kumi na mitatu kukamilisha ujenzi wa Jumba lake la kifalme.
2 Yea he built the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits, the length thereof, and, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and, thirty cubits, the height thereof, —upon four rows of pillars of cedar, with beams of cedar, upon the pillars;
Alijenga Jumba la Kifalme la Msitu wa Lebanoni, urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa 100, upana wake dhiraa hamsini na kimo chake dhiraa thelathini, likiwa na safu nne za nguzo za mierezi zikishikilia boriti za mierezi zilizorembwa.
3 and it was covered with cedar above upon the joists, that were on forty-five pillars, —fifteen in a row.
Ilipauliwa kwa mierezi juu ya boriti zile zilizolala juu ya nguzo arobaini na tano, kumi na tano kwa kila safu.
4 And there were, window spaces, in three rows, —and light over against light, three times.
Madirisha yake yaliwekwa juu kwa safu tatu, yakielekeana.
5 And, all the openings and the posts, were square in their frame, —and light was over against light, three times.
Milango yote ilikuwa na miimo ya mstatili, ilikuwa upande wa mbele katika safu tatu, ikielekeana.
6 And, a porch of pillars, made he, fifty cubits, in length, and, thirty cubits, in breadth, —and, a porch, was on the one front of them, and pillars and threshold, were on the other front of them.
Akajenga ukumbi wa nguzo, ambao urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa hamsini na upana wake dhiraa thelathini. Mbele ya jengo hilo kulikuwepo baraza. Mbele ya baraza kulikuwepo na nguzo na paa lililoningʼinia.
7 And, a porch for the throne, where he should judge, even the porch of judgment, made he, and it was wainscotted with cedar, from floor to ceiling.
Akajenga ukumbi wa kiti cha enzi, Ukumbi wa Hukumu, mahali ambapo angelitolea hukumu, akaufunika kwa mierezi kutoka sakafuni hadi darini.
8 And, his own house where he should dwell, in the other court within the porch, was, of like workmanship unto this, —a house also, made he, for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken [to wife], in a similar porch.
Kwenye jumba la kifalme ambamo angeliishi, aliiweka nyuma zaidi, ikiwa na mjengo wa aina moja na hiyo nyingine. Pia Solomoni akajenga jumba la kifalme linalofanana na huo ukumbi mkubwa kwa ajili ya binti Farao, aliyekuwa amemwoa.
9 All these, were of costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stones, sawn with saws, within and without, —even from the foundation, unto the coping, and without as far as the great court.
Ujenzi huu wote, kuanzia nje mpaka kwenye ua mkuu na kuanzia kwenye msingi hadi upenuni, ulifanywa kwa mawe ya ubora wa hali ya juu yaliyokuwa yamechongwa kwa vipimo na kusawazishwa kwa msumeno nyuso zake za ndani na za nje.
10 And, the foundation, was of costly stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
Misingi iliwekwa kwa mawe makubwa yaliyo bora, yenye urefu wa dhiraa kumi na mengine yenye urefu wa dhiraa nane
11 And, above, were costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stone, and cedar.
Sehemu za juu kulikuwepo na mawe yenye ubora wa hali ya juu, yaliyokatwa kwa vipimo na boriti za mierezi.
12 And, the great court round about, was of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of beams of cedar, —both to the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and to the porch of the house.
Ule ua mkuu ulizungukwa na ukuta wa safu tatu za mawe yaliyochongwa na safu moja ya boriti za mierezi zilizorembwa, kama ulivyokuwa ua wa ndani wa Hekalu la Bwana na baraza yake.
13 And King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram, out of Tyre:
Mfalme Solomoni akatuma watu Tiro kumleta Hiramu,
14 son of a widow woman, was he of the tribe of Naphtali, but, his father, was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze, and he was filled with wisdom, and discernment, and knowledge, for executing all manner of work in bronze, —so he came unto King Solomon, and executed all his work.
ambaye mama yake alikuwa mjane kutoka kabila la Naftali na baba yake alikuwa mtu wa Tiro tena fundi wa shaba. Hiramu alikuwa na ustadi wa hali ya juu na mzoefu katika aina zote za kazi ya shaba. Alikuja kwa Mfalme Solomoni na kufanya kazi zake zote alizopangiwa.
15 And he cast two pillars of bronze, —eighteen cubits, the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, would surround the second pillar.
Hiramu akasubu nguzo mbili za shaba, kila moja ikiwa na urefu wa dhiraa kumi na nane, kila nguzo ikiwa na mzingo wa dhiraa kumi na mbili kwa mstari.
16 And, two capitals, made he, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten bronze, —five cubits, was the height of the one capital, and, five cubits, the height of the other capital;
Pia alitengeneza mataji mawili ya shaba ya kusubu ili kuyaweka juu ya hizo nguzo; kila taji lilikuwa na kimo cha dhiraa tano kwenda juu.
17 with a frame of checker work, wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, —seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
Wavu wa mikufu iliyosokotewa kwenye zile taji juu ya zile nguzo, saba kwa kila taji.
18 So he made the pillars, —and, two rows round about, upon the one frame of checker work, covering the capitals which were upon the top with pomegranates, thus also, did he for the other capital.
Akatengeneza makomamanga katika safu mbili kuzunguka kila wavu kuremba mataji yaliyo juu ya nguzo. Alifanya hivyo kwa kila nguzo.
19 And, the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in span, four cubits.
Mataji yaliyokuwa juu ya nguzo kwenye baraza, yalikuwa katika umbo la yungiyungi, kimo chake ni dhiraa nne
20 And there were capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close by the belly, which was beside the checker work, —and there were two hundred pomegranates, in rows round about, upon either capital.
Juu ya mataji ya zile nguzo mbili, juu ya ile sehemu yenye umbo kama bakuli, karibu na ule wavu, kulikuwa na yale makomamanga 200 katika safu kuzunguka pande zote.
21 So he reared the pillars for the porch of the temple, —yea he reared the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin, and reared the left pillar, and called the name thereof, Boaz.
Hiramu akasimamisha nguzo kwenye baraza ya Hekalu. Nguzo ya upande wa kusini akaiita Yakini, na ile ya upande wa kaskazini Boazi.
22 And, upon the top of the pillars, was lily work, —which gave finish to the work of the pillars.
Mataji yaliyokuwa juu yalikuwa na umbo la yungiyungi. Hivyo kazi ya nguzo ikakamilika.
23 And he made a molten sea, —ten cubits from the one brim to the other, it was round all about, and, five cubits, was the height thereof, and, a line of thirty cubits, would encompass it round about.
Hiramu akasubu Bahari ya chuma, yenye umbo la mviringo, ya dhiraa kumi kutoka ukingo hadi ukingo na kimo cha dhiraa tano. Mzunguko wake ulikuwa dhiraa thelathini.
24 And, colocynths, were under the brim thereof round about, encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea, round about, —two rows of colocynths, made in the casting thereof:
Chini ya ukingo, ilizungukwa na maboga, kumi kwenye kila dhiraa moja. Maboga yalikuwa yamesubiwa katika safu mbili ili kuwa kitu kimoja na hiyo bahari.
25 standing upon twelve oxen, three looking northward, and three looking westward, and three looking southward, and three looking eastward, the sea, being upon them above, —all their hinder parts, being, inward.
Bahari iliwekwa juu ya mafahali kumi na wawili, watatu wakielekea kaskazini, watatu wakielekea magharibi, watatu wakielekea kusini na watatu wakielekea mashariki. Bahari iliwekwa juu yao na sehemu zao za nyuma zilielekeana.
26 And, the thickness thereof, was a hand breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim-work of a cup, of lily-blossoms, —two thousand baths, did it contain.
Ilikuwa na unene wa nyanda nne na ukingo wake ulifanana na ukingo wa kikombe, kama ua la yungiyungi iliyochanua. Iliweza kuchukua bathi 2,000.
27 And he made ten stands of bronze, —four cubits, the length of each stand, and, four cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof.
Pia akatengeneza vitako kumi vya shaba vinavyoweza kuhamishika, kila kimoja kilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa nne, upana dhiraa nne na kimo chake dhiraa tatu
28 And, this, was the work of the stand, there were, side walls, to them, —and, the side-walls, were between joining ledges;
Hivi ndivyo vile vitako vilivyotengenezwa: Vilikuwa na mbao za pembeni zilizoshikamanishwa na mihimili.
29 and, upon the side-walls which were between the ledges, were lions, oxen, and cherubim, and, upon the ledges, was a pedestal above, and, beneath the lions and oxen, a wreath of hanging work.
Juu ya mbao kati ya hiyo mihimili kulikuwa na simba, mafahali na makerubi, pia kwenye mihimili yake. Juu na chini ya simba na mafahali kulikuwa kumesokotewa taji za kufuliwa.
30 And, four wheels of bronze, had each stand, with axles of bronze, and, the four steps thereof, had shoulder pieces, —under the laver, were the molten shoulder-pieces, over against each wreath.
Kila kitako kilikuwa na magurudumu manne ya shaba, na vyuma vya katikati vya kuyazungusha hayo magurudumu na kila kimoja kilikuwa na sinia kwenye vishikizo vinne vya taji iliyosubiwa kila upande.
31 And, the mouth thereof, within the capital and upwards, was a cubit, and, the mouth thereof, was round, of pedestal work, a cubit and a half, —moreover also, upon the mouth thereof, were gravings, with their side-walls four-square, not round.
Ndani ya kitako kulikuwa na nafasi ya wazi iliyokuwa na umbile la mviringo lenye kina cha dhiraa moja. Nafasi hii ya wazi ilikuwa ya mviringo, pamoja na kitako chake ilikuwa dhiraa moja na nusu. Kuzunguka huo mdomo wake kulitiwa nakshi. Papi za vitako zilikuwa mraba na si za mviringo.
32 And, four wheels, were beneath the side-walls, the axletrees of the wheels, being in the stands, —and, the height of each wheel, was a cubit and a half:
Magurudumu manne yalikuwa chini ya papi, na vyuma vya katikati vya kuzungushia magurudumu hayo vilikuwa vimeunganishwa kwenye kitako. Kipenyo cha kila gurudumu kilikuwa dhiraa moja na nusu.
33 and, the work of the wheels, was like the work of a chariot-wheel; and, their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, the whole, were molten.
Magurudumu yalitengenezwa kama ya magari ya vita ya kukokotwa, vyuma vya katikati vya magurudumu, duara zake, matindi yake na vikombe vyake vyote vilikuwa vya kusubu.
34 And there were, four shoulder-pieces, at the four corners of each stand, of the stand itself, were the shoulder-pieces thereof.
Kila kitako kilikuwa na mikono minne, moja kwenye kila pembe, ukitokeza kutoka kwenye kitako.
35 And, in the top of the stand, half a cubit in height, was a circular piece round about, —and, on the top of the stand, the tenons thereof, and, the side-walls thereof, were of the same.
Juu ya kitako kulikuwepo na utepe wa mviringo wenye kina cha nusu dhiraa. Vishikio na papi vilishikamana upande wa juu wa kitako.
36 Then carved he, upon the plates of the tenons thereof, and upon the side-walls thereof, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, —according to the open space of each with a wreath round about.
Alitia nakshi za makerubi, simba na miti ya mitende juu ya uso wa vishikio na juu ya papi, katika kila nafasi iliyopatikana, pamoja na mataji yaliyosokotwa kuzunguka pande zote.
37 Thus, made he the ten stands, —one mould, one measure, one shape, had they, all.
Hivi ndivyo Hiramu alivyotengeneza vile vitako kumi. Vyote vilikuwa vya kusubu kwenye kalibu za kufanana kwa vipimo na kwa umbo.
38 Then made he ten lavers of bronze, —forty baths, would each laver contain, four cubits, was each laver, one laver, was on each of, the ten stands.
Kisha akatengeneza masinia kumi ya shaba, kila moja likiwa na ujazo wa bathi arobaini, yakiwa na kipenyo cha dhiraa nne kila sinia moja kwa kila kimoja ya vile vitako kumi.
39 And he set the stands, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house, —but, the sea, he set on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south.
Aliweka vitako vitano upande wa kusini wa Hekalu na vingine vitano upande wa kaskazini. Akaweka ile bahari upande wa kusini, katika pembe ya kusini ya Hekalu.
40 And Hiram made lavers, and shovels, and bowls, —and Hiram ended the doing of all the work which he wrought for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh:
Pia akatengeneza masinia, masepetu na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Kwa hiyo Huramu akakamilisha kazi zote katika Hekalu la Bwana kama vile Mfalme Solomoni alikuwa amemwagiza, yaani:
41 two pillars, —and the bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the two pillars, —and the two frames of checker-work, covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were upon the top of the pillars;
nguzo mbili; mataji mawili yenye umbo la bakuli juu ya hizo nguzo; nyavu mbili za kupamba hayo mataji mawili yenye umbo la bakuli juu ya hizo nguzo;
42 and the four hundred pomegranates, for the two frames of checker-work, —two rows of pomegranates to each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;
makomamanga 400 kwa ajili ya hizo nyavu mbili (safu mbili za makomamanga kwa kila wavu, yakipamba hayo mataji mawili yenye umbo la bakuli juu ya hizo nguzo);
43 and the ten stands, —with the ten lavers upon the stands;
vitako kumi pamoja na masinia yake kumi;
44 and the one sea, —with the twelve oxen under the sea;
ile Bahari ya chuma na yale mafahali kumi na wawili chini yake;
45 and the pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls, and, all these vessels which Hiram made King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh, were of burnished bronze.
masufuria, masepetu na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Vyombo hivi vyote ambavyo Huramu alimtengenezea Mfalme Solomoni kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Bwana vilikuwa vya shaba iliyongʼarishwa.
46 In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground, —between Succoth and Zarethan.
Mfalme akaamuru wavisubu katika kalibu ya udongo wa mfinyanzi katika uwanda wa Yordani ulio kati ya Sukothi na Sarethani.
47 And Solomon let all the vessels be, because of their exceeding great multitude, —the weight of the bronze was not found out.
Solomoni akaviacha vitu hivi vyote bila kupima uzani wake, kwa sababu vilikuwa vingi sana hivi kwamba uzito wa shaba haungekadirika.
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh, —the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereon was the presence-bread;
Solomoni pia akatengeneza samani zote zilizokuwa ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana: madhabahu ya dhahabu; meza ya dhahabu za kuweka mikate ya Wonyesho;
49 and the lamp-holders—five on the right and five on the left, before the shrine, of pure gold, —with the blossoms, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
vinara vya taa vya dhahabu safi (vitano upande wa kuume na vitano upande wa kushoto, mbele ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu); kazi ya maua ya dhahabu na taa na makoleo;
50 and the bowls, and the snuffers, and the tossing bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold, —and the hinge-holes, for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house itself, the temple, of, gold.
masinia ya dhahabu safi, mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, mabakuli ya kunyunyizia, vyano na vyetezo; na bawaba za dhahabu kwa ajili ya milango ya chumba cha ndani sana, yaani Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, na pia kwa ajili ya milango ya ukumbi mkuu wa Hekalu.
51 So was completed all the work which King Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father—the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
Hivyo Mfalme Solomoni alipomaliza kazi ya Hekalu la Bwana, akaviingiza ndani vile vitu ambavyo Daudi baba yake alikuwa ameviweka wakfu: yaani fedha, dhahabu na samani; kisha akaviweka katika hazina za Hekalu la Bwana.
