2 Nyakati 4
1 Vivile akatengeneza madhabahu ya shaba; urefu wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa mikono ishirini.
And he made a brazen altar, the length of it twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, and the height ten cubits.
2 Pia akatengeneza bahari ya mduara ya chuma cha kuyeyushwa, mikono kumi kutoka ukingo hadi ukingo. Urefu wake kwenda juu ulikuwa mikono mitano, na bahari ilikuwa na mzunguko wa mikono thelatinini.
And he made the molten sea, in diameter ten cubits, entirely round, and the height of it five cubits, and the circumference thirty cubits.
3 Chini ya kingo kuzunguka bahari kulikuwapo ng'ombe dume, kumi kila mkono,
And beneath it the likeness of calves, they compass it round about: ten cubits compass the laver round about, they cast the calves two rows in their casting,
4 Bahari ilisimama juu ya ng'ombe wa kulima kumi na wawili, watatu wakiangalia kaskazini, watatu wakiangalia magharibi, na watatu wakiangalia kusini, na watatu wakiangalia mashariki. Bahari iliwekwa juu yao, na robo ya sehemu zao za nyuma zote zilikuwa ndani.
wherein they made them twelve calves, —three looking northwards, and three westwards, and three southwards, and three eastwards: and the sea was upon them above, [and] their hinder parts were inward.
5 Bahari ilikuwa nene kama upana wa mkono, na ukingo wake ulikuwa kama ukingo wa kikombe, kama ua la yungi. Bahari ilikuwa na mabafu elfu tatu ya maji.
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim as the brim of a cup, graven with flowers of lilies, holding three thousand measures: and he finished [it].
6 Pia akatengeneza birika kumi kwa ajili ya kuoshea vitu; tano akaziweka mkono wa kulia, na tano akaziweka kushoto; vifaa vilivyotumika katika kufanayia sadaka za kuteketezwa zilipaswa kuoshwa ndani ya hizo birika. Bahari, vilevile ilikuwa kwa ajili ya makauhani kuoga humo.
And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them the instruments of the whole burnt offerings, and to rinse [the vessels] in them; and the sea [was] for the priests to wash in.
7 Akatengeza vinara vya taa kumi vya dhahabu ambavyo vilitengenezwa kutokana na maelekezo ya jinsi vilivyopaswa kuwa; akaviweka hekaluni, vitanao mkno wa kulia, na vitano mkono wa kushoto.
And he made the ten golden candlesticks according to their pattern, and he put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 Akatengeneza meza kumi na kuziweka hekaluni, tano upande wa kulia, na tano upande wa kushoto. Akatengeneza birika mia moja za dhahabu.
And he made ten tables, and put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left: and he made a hundred golden bowls.
9 Zaidi ya hayo akatengeneza mahakama ya makuhani na mahakama kuu, na milangu kwa ajili ya mahakama, akaifunika milango yake kwa shaba.
Also he made the priests' court, and the great court, and doors to the court, and their panels [were] overlaid with brass.
10 Akaiweka bahari upande wa kulia wa nyumba, masharika, ikielekea upande wa kusini.
And he set the sea at the corner of the house on the right, as it were fronting the east.
11 Huramu akayatengeza masufuria, majembe, na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Hivyo Huramu akamaliza kazi aliyofanya kwa ajili ya mfalme Selemani katika nyumba ya Mungu:
And Chiram made the flesh hooks, and the fire-pans, and the grate of the altar, and all its instruments: and Chiram finished doing all the work which he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:
12 zile nguzo mbili, taji mfano wa upinde zilizo kuwa juu ya zile nguzo mbili, na nyavu mbili za za mapambo zilizofunika zile taji mbili mfano wa upinde zilizokuwa juu ya zile nguzo.
two pillars, and upon them an embossed work for the chapiters on the heads of the two pillars, and two nets to cover the heads of the chapiters which are on the heads of the pillars;
13 Alikuwa ametengeneza makomamanga mia nne kwa ajili ya zile nyavu za mapambo: safu mbili za makomamanga kwa kila wavu ili kufunika vimbe mbili zilizo kuwa juu ya nguzo.
and four hundred golden bells for the two nets, and two rows of pomegranates in each net, to cover the two embossed rims of the chapiters which are upon the pillars.
14 Pia akavitengeneza vitako na mabirika juu ya kitako,
And he made the ten bases, and he made the lavers upon the bases;
15 bahari moja na wale ng'ombe kumi na wawili chini yake,
and the one sea, and the twelve calves under it;
16 pia masufuria, majembe, nyuma za nyama, na vyombo vingine vyote. Huramu mtaalamu akavifanya kwa ajili ya Mfalme Selemani, kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Yahwe, vya shaba iliyong'arishwa.
and the foot-baths, and the buckets, and the caldrons, and the flesh hooks, and all their furniture (which Chiram made, and brought to king Solomon in the house of the Lord) of pure brass.
17 Mfalme alikuwa amevisubu katika uwanda wa Yordani, katika udongo wa mfinyanzi kati kati ya Sukothi na Sereda.
In the country round about Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground in the house of Socchoth, and between [that and] Saredatha.
18 Hivyo ndivyo Selemani alivyovitengeneza vyombo vyote kwa wingi; kwa kweli, uzito wa shaba haukuweza kujulikana.
So Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the quantity of brass failed not.
19 Selemani akazitengeza samani zote ambazo zilikuwa kwenye nyumba ya Mungu, pia madhabahu ya dhahabu, na meza ambazo juu yake mkate wa uwepo ulipaswa kuwekwa;
And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of the Lord, and the golden altar, and the tables, and upon them [were to be] the loaves of show bread;
20 vinara pamoja na taa zake, ambazo zilitengezwa ili kumulika mbele ya chumba cha ndani—hivi vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu halisi;
also the candlesticks, and the lamps to give light according to the pattern, and in front of the oracle, of pure gold.
21 na maua, taa, na makoleo, ya dhahabu, dhahabu safi.
And their snuffers, and their lamps [were made], and [he made] the bowls, and the censers, and the fire-pans, of pure gold.
22 Pia mikasi ya taa, na mabakuli, vijiko, na vikaango vya sadaka za kuteketezwa vyote vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi. Kuhusu mlanago wa kuingilia kwenye nyumba, milango yake ya ndani kwenye patakatifu pa patakatifu na milango ya nyumba, ambayo ni, ya hekalu, ilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu.
And [there was] the inner door of the house [opening] into the holy of holies, and [he made] the inner doors of the temple of gold. So all the work which Solomon wrought for the house of the Lord was finished.
