1 Ary Solomona nanomboka nanao ny tranon’ i Jehovah tany Jerosalema, tao an-tendrombohitra Moria, ilay nisehoan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida rainy, dia ilay namboarina teo amin’ ny fitoerana nofidin’ i Davida teo amin’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita.
Then Solomon began to build Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Ary nanomboka nanao ny trano izy tamin’ ny andro faharoa tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakany.
He began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Ary toy izao no nanorenan’ i Solomona ny tranon’ Andriamanitra: Ny lavany, raha araka ny hakiho taloha, dia enim-polo hakiho, ary ny sakany roa-polo hakiho.
Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house: the length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.
4 Ary ny amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana izay teo anoloany, ny lavany dia roa-polo hakiho, dia araka ny sakan’ ny trano ihany, ary ny hahavony dia roa-polo amby zato hakiho; ary nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara ny ao anatiny.
The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Ary ny ati-trano lehibe nopetahany hazo kypreso, dia vao nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara ireo ary noravahany hazo rofia sy tongalika.
He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
6 Ary noravahany vato soa koa ny trano; ary ny volamena dia volamena avy any Parvaima.
He decorated the house with precious stones for beauty. The gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 Ary nopetahany takela-bolamena ny trano, dia ny rairainy sy ny tokonany sy ny rindriny ary ny lela-varavarany; ary nosoratany nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima ny rindrina.
He also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, its walls, and its doors with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 Ary nanao ny efi-trano masìna indrindra izy: ny lavany dia roa-polo hakiho mifanerana amin’ ny sakan’ ny trano, ary roa-polo hakiho koa ny sakany; ary nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara talenta enin-jato izy
He made the most holy place. Its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 Ary ny lanjan’ ny hombo volamena dia sekely dimam-polo. Ary ny efi-trano ambony nopetahany volamena koa.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Ary tao amin’ ny efi-trano masìna indrindra dia nasiany sarin’ ny kerobima roa, ary nosokiriny no nanaovany azy, dia nopetahany takela-bolamena.
In the most holy place he made two cherubim by carving, and they overlaid them with gold.
11 Ny halavan’ ny elatry ny kerobima dia roa-polo hakiho: ny elatry ny anankiray dia dimy hakiho, mipaka amin’ ny rindrina; ary ny elany iray koa dimy hakiho sady mifanendry amin’ ny elatry ny kerobima anankiray;
The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 ary ny elatry ny kerobima anankiray koa dia dimy hakiho, mipaka amin’ ny rindrina; ary ny elany iray koa dimy hakiho sady mifanendry amin’ ny elatry ny kerobima anankiray.
The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 Nivelatra ny elatr’ ireo kerobima ireo, ka roa-polo hakiho ny halavany; nijoro tamin’ ny tongony, tarehiny nanatrika ny trano.
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves out twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
14 Ary izy nanao ny efitra lamba tamin’ ny manga sy volomparasy sy jaky sy rongony fotsy madinika; ary nataony sarin’ ny kerobima ny sorany.
He made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
15 Ary nanao andry roa teo anoloan’ ny trano izy; dimy amby telo-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary ny kapitaly teo an-tampony dia dimy hakiho ary.
Also he made before the house two pillars thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 Ary nanao tongalika tao amin’ ny efitra anatiny izy, ka nataony teo an-tampon’ ny andry ireo; ary nanao sarin’ apongaben-danitra zato izy, ka nataony teo amin’ ny tongalika ireo.
He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 Ary ny andry natsangany teo anoloan’ ny tempoly, ny iray tamin’ ny ankavanana, ary ny iray tamin’ ny ankavia; ary ny anaran’ ny teo amin’ ny ankavanana nanao ny hoe Jakina, ary ny anaran’ ny teo amin’ ny ankavia kosa natao hoe Boaza.
He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
