1 Wafalme 7
1 Ilimchukua Sulemani miaka kumi na tatu kujenga ikulu yake.
And Solomon built a house for himself in thirteen years.
2 Aliijenga ikulu iliyoitwa mwitu wa Lebanoni. Urefu wake ulikuwa mita 46, na upanawake ulikuwa mita 23, na kimo chake kilikuwa mita 14. Nayo ilikuwa na safu nne ya nguzo za mierezi na mithili ya mwerezi juu ya nguzo.
And he built the house with the wood of Libanus; its length [was] a hundred cubits, and its breadth [was] fifty cubits, and its height [was] of thirty cubits, and [it was made] with three rows of cedar pillars, and the pillars had side-pieces of cedar.
3 Paa la ikulu lilikuwa la mwerezi ambalo lilikaa juu ya mihimili. Mihili hiyo ilikuwa imeshikiliwa na nguzo. Kulikuwa na mihimili arobaini na tano, ambayo ilikuwa katika safu kumi na tano.
And he formed the house with chambers above on the sides of the pillars, and the number of the pillars [was each] row forty and five,
4 Nayo mihimili ilikuwa safu tatu, na kila dirisha lilikabili dirisha lingine katika madaraja matatu.
and [there were] three chambers, and space against space in three rows.
5 Milango yote na miimo ilitengenezwa kwa mraba, na madirisha yalikuwa yakikabiliana katika madaraja matatu
And all the doors and spaces formed like chambers [were] square, and from door to door [was a correspondence] in three rows.
6 Akatengeneza baraza lenye uerfu wa mita 23 na upana wa mita 14. Mbele yake kulikuwa na ukumbi ulioezekwa.
And [he made] the porch of the pillars, [they were] fifty [cubits] long and fifty broad, the porch joining them in front; and the [other] pillars and the thick beam [were] in front of the house by the porches.
7 Sulemani akajenga baraza yenye kiti cha enzi ambacho alitolea hukumu ya haki. Nayo ilikuwa imeezekwa kwa mwerezi kutoka sakafu moja hadi nyingine.
And [there was] the Porch of seats where he would judge, the porch of judgment.
8 Nyumba ya Sulemani ambayo alikusudia kuishi, katika behewa nyingine ndani ya sehemu ya chini ya ikulu, ilitengenezwa kwa kazi hiyo hiyo. Pia alimjengea binti wa Farao nyumba kama hii, ambaye alikuwa mke wake
And their house where he would dwell, [had] one court communicating with these according to this work; and [he built] the house for the daughter of Pharao whom Solomon had taken, according to this porch.
9 Majengo haya yalipmbwa kwa vitu vya thamaini, mawe ya thamani, yaliyochongwa na kukatwa kwa msimeno kufuata vipimo sahihi na kulainishwa pande zote. Mawe ya namna hii ndiyo yale yaliyotumika kuanzia kwenye msingi hadi juu, pia na nje hadi kwenye baraza.
All these [were] of costly stones, sculptured at intervals within even from the foundation even to the top, and outward to the great court,
10 Msingi ulijengwa kwa mawe makubwa sana na ya thamani yenye urefu wa mita 3. 7 na mengine mita 4. 8.
founded with large costly stones, stones of ten cubits and eight cubits [long].
11 Kwa juu ilipambwa kwa, mawe ya thamani yaliyochongwa sawa sawa kwa msimeno na kwa mihimili ya mierezi.
And above with costly stones, according to the measure of hewn stones, and with cedars.
12 Na behewa kubwa iliyokuwa ikizunguka ikulu ilikuwa na safu tatu za mawe yaliyokatwa na safu moja ya mihimili ya mierezi kama ilivyo kwenye baraza la ndani la hekalu la BWANA na ule ukumbi wa hekalu.
[There were] three rows of hewn [stones] round about the great hall, and a row of sculptured cedar.
13 Mfalme Sulemani alituma watu kumleta Huramu kutoka Tiro.
And king Solomon sent, and took Chiram out of Tyre,
14 Huramu alikuwa mwana wa mjane wa kabila ya Naftali; baba yake alikuwa mtu wa Tiro, mfua shaba. Huramu alikuwa mwingi wa hekima na ufahamu na stadi za kufanya kazi kubwa za shaba. Aliletwa kwa mfalme ili kufanya kazi zilizohusiana na shaba kwa mfalme.
the son of a widow woman; and he [was] of the tribe of Nephthalim, and his father [was] a Tyrian; a worker in brass, and accomplished in are and skill and knowledge to work every work in brass: and he was brought in to king Solomon, and he wrought all the works.
15 Huramu alizilemba zile nguzo mbili za shaba, kila moja ilikuwa na kimo cha mita 8. 3 na mzingo wa mita 5. 5.
And he cast the two pillars for the porch of the house: eighteen cubits [was] the height of [each] pillar, and a circumference of fourteen cubits encompassed it, even the thickness of the pillar: the flutings [were] four fingers [wide], and thus [was] the other pillar [formed].
16 Akatengeneza taji mbili za shaba za kuwekwa juu ya zile nguzo. Kimo cha kila taji ilikuwa mita 2. 3.
And he made two molten chapiters to put on the heads of the pillars: five cubits [was] the height of one chapiter, and five cubits [was] the height of the other chapiter.
17 Kulikuwa na nyavu za kuwa kama kazi ya kusuka, na masongo ya mikufu, kwa ajili ya kuvipamba vile vichwa vya nguzo, nayo yailikuwa saba kwa kila kichwa.
And he made two ornaments of network to cover the chapiters of the pillars; even a net for one chapiter, and a net for the other chapiter.
18 Kwa hiyo Huramu akafanya safu mbili za komamanga kuzunguka vile vichwa vya nguzo ili kuvipamba vile vichwa.
And hanging work, two rows of brazen pomegranates, formed with network, hanging work, row upon row: and thus he framed [the ornaments] for the second chapiter. And he set up the pillars of the porch of the temple: and he set up the one pillar, and called its name Jachum: and he set up the second pillar, and called its name Boloz.
19 Zile taji kwenye vile vichwa vya nguzo za ukumbi zilikuwa zimepambwa kwa maua, yenye vimo vya mita 1. 8.
And on the heads of the pillars he made lily-work against the porch, of four cubits,
20 Hizo taji kwenye hizo nguzo mbili kwenye vichwa vyake, karibu yake kulikuwa na makomamanga mia mbili yote yakiwa kwenye safu.
and a chamber over both the pillars, and above the sides an addition [equal to] the chamber in width.
21 Alisimamisha nguzo kwenye ukumbi wa hekalu. Ile nguzo ya kuume akaipa jina la Yakini, na ile ya kushoto akaipa jina la Boazi.
22 Na juu ya zile nguzo kulikuwa na mapambo kama maua. Hivyo ndivyo zile nguzo zilivyotengenezwa.
23 Tena akafanya bahari ya kusubu ya, yenye mita 2. 3 kutoka ukingo hadi ukingo, kimo chake kilikuwa mita 4. 6, mziingo wake ulikuwa mita 13. 7.
And he made the sea, ten cubits from one rim to the other, the same was completely circular round about: its height [was] five cubits, and its circumference thirty-three cubits.
24 Na chini ya ile bahari kulikuwa na vibuyu vilivyoizunguka, vilikuwa vibuyu kumi na nane katika kila mita, vilivyowekwa katika kila hicho kipande wakati bahari inapokuwa kalibu.
And stays underneath its rim round about compassed it ten cubits round;
25 Bahari ikakaa juu ya makisai kumi na mbili, tatu, zilitazama kaskazini, tatu zikitazama magharibi, tatu zikitazama kusini na tatu zikitazama kaskazini. Ile bahari iliwekwa juu yao, na pande zao zote za nyuma zilikuwa ndani.
And [there were] twelve oxen under the sea: three looking to the north, and three looking to the west, and three looking to the south, and three looking to the east: and all their hinder parts [were] inward, and the sea [was] above upon them.
26 Bahari ilikuwa nene kama upana wa mkono, na ukingo wake ulikuwakama ukingo wa kikombe, kama ua la yungi huingia bathi elfu mbili za maji.
and its rim [was] as the work of the rim of a cup, a lily-flower, and the thickness of it [was] a span.
27 Huramu akatengeneza makalio kumi ya shaba. Kila kalio lilkuwa na urefu wa mita 1. 8, upana wa mita 1. 8, na kimo cha mita 1. 3.
And he made ten brazen bases: five cubits [was] the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and its height [was] six cubits.
28 Hivi ndivyo kazi za makalio zilivyofanywa. Yalikuwa na papi ambazo zilikaa kati kati ya vipandio,
And this work of the bases [was] formed with a border the them, and [there was] a border between the ledges.
29 na juu ya papi na vipandio kulikuwa na simba, makisai, na makerubi. Chini na juu simba kulikuwa na masongo ya kazi ya kufuliwa.
And upon their borders between the projection [were] lions, and oxen, and cherubs: and on the projections, even so above, and also below [were] the places of lions and oxen, hanging work.
30 Kila kalio lilikuwa na magurudumu ya shaba na vipini, na pande zake nne na miguu yake minne ilikuwa na mataruma chini ya birika. Chini ya birika yalikuweko mataruma ya kusubu yenye masongo katika kila upande.
And [there were] four brazen wheels to one base; and [there were] brazen bases, and their four sides [answering to them], side pieces under the bases.
31 Na kinywa chake kilikuwa cha kuviringana, chenye upana wa sentimita araobaini na sita, na ile taji ilikuwa na sentimita ishirini na tatu. Na kinywa chake kilikuwa na nakshi, na papi zake zilikuwa za mraba, na wala siyo za mvringo.
And [there were] axles in the wheels under the base.
32 Yale magurudumu mawili yalikuwa chini ya papi, na mikono ya magurudumu yalikuwa ndani ya makalio. Kimo cha yale magurudumu kilikuwa sentimeta sitini na tisa.
And the height of one wheel [was] a cubit and a half.
33 Yale magurudumu yalikuwa kama ya gari. Mikono yake, na maduara, matindi yake, na vipande vya ndani vyote vilikuwa vya kusubu.
And the work of the wheels [was] as the work of chariot wheels: their axles, and their felloes, and [the rest of] their work, [were] all molten.
34 Kulikuwa na mataruma manne katika pande zake nne za makalio, yaliyokuwa yameshikamanishwa na kalio lenyewe.
The four side pieces were at the four corners of each base; its shoulders [were formed] of the base.
35 Juu ya makalio kulikuwa na duara yenye kina cha sentimita ishirini na tatu, na juu ya makalio mashikio yake na papi zake zikiwa zimeshikamanishwa.
And on the top of the base half a cubit [was] the size of it, [there was] a circle on the top of the base, and [there was] the top of its spaces and its borders: and it was open at the top of its spaces.
36 Juu ya mabamba na papi zake Huramu akachora makerubi, simba, na mitende ambayo ilifunika nafasi ya juu, nayo ilikuwa imezungukwa na masongo.
And its borders [were] cherubs, and lions, and palm-trees, upright, each [was] joined in front [and] within and round about.
37 Alitengeneza makalio kumi kwa jinsi hii. Yote yalikuwa yametengenezwa kwa kufanana, na yalikuwa ya vipimo sawa, na sura inayofanana.
According to the same form he made all the ten bases, [even] one order and one measure to all.
38 Huramu akatengeneza birika kumi za shaba. Birika moja liliweza kubeba bathi arobaini za maji. Kila birika lilikuwa mita 1. 8 toka birika moja hadi jingine na kulikuwa na birika moja katika kila kalio kati ya yale kumi.
And he made ten brazen lavers, each laver containing forty baths, [and] measuring four cubits, each laver [placed] on a several base throughout the ten bases.
39 Alitengeneza makalio tano upande wa kusini unaoelekea upande wa hekalu. Akatengeneza bahari katika upande wa mashariki, ukielekea upande wa kusini wa hekalu.
And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and the sea was placed on the right side of the house eastward in the direction of the south.
40 Huramu akatengeneza birika na koleo na besini la kunyunyizia. Kisha akamaliza kazi yote aliyofanya kwa mfalme Sulemani katika hekalu la BWANA:
And Chiram made the cauldrons, and the pans, and the bowls; and Chiram finished making all the works that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the Lord:
41 Zile nguzo mbili, na lile besini lakawa kama taji ambalo lilikuwa juu ya zile nguzo, na nyavu mbili za mapambo za kufunika zile besini mbili za kuwa kama taji zilizokuwa juu ya nguzo.
two pillars and the wreathen works of the pillars on the heads of the two pillars; and the two networks to cover both the wreathen works of the flutings that were upon the pillars.
42 Kisha akatengeneza makomamanga mia nne kwa ajili ya zile nyavu mbili za mapambo: safu mbili za makomamamanga kwa kila kazi ya nyavu kwa ajili ya kufunikia zile besini mbili kama taji iliyo juu ya nguzo,
The four hundred pomegranates for both the networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover both the wreathen works of the bases belonging to both pillars.
43 yale makalio kumi, na birika kumi kwenye makalio.
And the ten bases, and the ten lavers upon the bases.
44 Akatengeneza bahari na makisai kumi chini yake;
And one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea.
45 na masufuria, koleo, birika na vyombo vingine vyote. Huramu akivitengeneza kwa shaba iliyosuguliwa, kwa ajili ya mfalme Sulemani, na kawa ajili ya hekalu la BWANA.
And the cauldrons, and pans, and bowls, and all the furniture, which Chiram made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord: and [there were] eight and forty pillars of the house of the king and of the house of the Lord: all the works of the king which Chiram made were entirely of brass.
46 Mfalme alivisubu katika uwanda wa Yorodani, katika udongo mfinyanzi kati ya Sukoti na Zarethani.
47 Sulemani hakuvipima vyombo vyote kwa sababu vilikuwa vingi mno kuvipima, na kwa sababu uzito wa shaba ulikuwa hauwezi kupimwa.
There was no reckoning of the brass of which he made all these works, from the very great abundance, there was no end of the weight of the brass. In the country round about Jordan did he cast them, in the clay land between Socchoth and Sira.
48 Sulemani akatengeneza mapambo yote yaliyokuwa kwenye hekalu la BWANA kwa kutumia dhahabu: Ile madhabahu ya dhahabu na ile meza ambayo iliwekwa mikate ya wonyesho.
And king Solomon took the furniture which [Chiram] made for the house of the Lord, the golden altar, and the golden table of show bread.
49 Vile vinara vya dhahabu, ambavyo vitano vilikuwa upande wa kulia na vitano mkono wa kushoto, mbele ya chumba cha ndani, vilikuwa vya dhahabu safi, na maua, na taa na koleo zilikuwa za dhahabu.
And [he put] the five candlesticks on the left, and five on the right in front of the oracle, [being] of pure gold, and the lamp-stands, and the lamps, and the snuffers of gold.
50 Vile vikombe, na makasi, mabakuri, na vijiko, na vyetezo vyote vilikuwa vimetengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi. na bawaba za dhahabu za milango ya ndani, ambazoo ndio mahali patakatifu sana, na milango ya ukumbi mkubwa, vyote vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu.
And [there were made] the porches, and the nails, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the golden censers, of pure gold: and the panels of the doors of the innermost part of the house, [even] the holy of holies, and the golden doors of the temple.
51 Kwa njia hii, kazi yote ambayo mfalme Sulemani alifanya kwa ajili ya hekalu ilimalizika. Kwa Sulemani akaviingiza ndani yake vitu vile vilivyokuwa vimewekwa wakfu na Daudi, baba yake, na fedha na dhahabu, na mapambo, na vile vya ndani ya hazina ya BWANA.
So the work of the house of the Lord which Solomon wrought was finished; and Solomon brought in the holy things of David his father, and all the holy things of Solomon; he put the silver, and the gold, and the furniture, into the treasures of the house of the Lord.
