Tena akafanya madhabahu ya shaba, mikono ishirini urefu wake, na mikono ishirini upana wake, na mikono kumi kwenda juu kwake.
He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.
2
Tena akaifanya bahari ya kusubu, mikono kumi toka ukingo hata ukingo, ya mviringo, na kwenda juu kwake ilikuwa mikono mitano; na uzi wa mikono thelathini kuizunguka kabisa.
He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
3
Na chini yake palikuwa na mifano ya ng'ombe, walioizunguka pande zote ,kwa mikono kumi,wakiizunguka pande zote ile bahari. Ng`ombe walikuwa safu mbili ,wakayeyushwa hapo ilipoyeyushwa hiyo bahari.
Below the rim, figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
4
Ikakaa juu ya ng'ombe kumi na wawili, watatu wakitazama kaskazini, na watatu wakitazama magharibi, na watatu wakitazama kusini, na watatu wakitazama mashariki; na bahari iliwekwa juu yao, na pande zao za nyuma zote zilikuwa ndani.
The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
5
Na unene wake ulikuwa nyanda nne, na ukingo wake ukafanywa kama ukingo wa kikombe, kama ua la yungi; huingia bathi elfu tatu, kukaa ndani yake.
It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.
6
Akafanya na birika kumi, akaziweka tano upande wa kuume, na tano upande wa kushoto, za kuoshea; ndizo walizooshea mambo ya kafara; lakini hiyo bahari ilikuwa ya makuhani ya kuogea.
He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests used the Sea for washing.
7
Akavifanya vinara vya taa kumi vya dhahabu, kadiri ya vilivyoagiziwa; akavitia hekaluni, vitano upande wa kuume, na vitano upande wa kushoto.
He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8
Akafanya na meza kumi, akazitia hekaluni, tano upande wa kuume, na tano upande wa kushoto. Kisha akafanya mabakuli mia ya dhahabu.
Additionally, he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold bowls.
9
Tena akaufanya ua wa makuhani, na ua mkubwa, nayo milango yake, akaifunikiza kwa shaba milango yake.
He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.
10
Nayo bahari akaiweka upande wa kuume kwa mashariki, kuelekea kusini.
He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.
11
Na Huramu akayafanya masufuria, na majembe, na mabakuli. Basi Huramu akamaliza kufanya hiyo kazi, aliyomfanyia mfalme Sulemani ya nyumba ya Mungu;
Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of God:
12
zile nguzo mbili, na vimbe, na taji mbili zilizokuwa juu ya nguzo; nazo nyavu mbili za kuzifunika vimbe mbili za taji zilizokuwa juu ya nguzo;
the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
13
na makomamanga mia nne ya nyavu mbili; safu mbili za makomamanga kwa kila wavu, kuzifunika vimbe mbili za taji zilizokuwa juu ya nguzo.
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
14
Akayafanya na matako, na mabirika akafanya juu ya matako;
the stands; the basins on the stands;
15
bahari moja, na ng'ombe kumi na wawili chini yake.
the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
16
Masufuria pia, na majembe, na nyuma, na vyombo vyake vyote, Huramu akamfanyia mfalme Sulemani kwa nyumba ya BWANA ,vya shaba iliyokatuka.
and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.
17
Katika uwanda wa Yordani ndipo mfalme alipovisubu, katika udongo mzito kati ya Sukothi na Sereda.
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.
18
Ndivyo alivyovifanya Sulemani vyombo hivyo vyote, vingi sana; kwa kuwa uzani wa shaba ulikuwa hautafutikani.
Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
19
Basi Sulemani akavifanya vyombo vyote vilivyokuwamo nyumbani mwa Mungu, madhabahu ya dhahabu pia, nazo meza, ambazo juu yake iliwekwa mikate ya wonyesho;
Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
20
na vinara na taa zake, ziwake kama ilivyoagizwa mbele ya chumba cha ndani, vya dhahabu iliyosafika;
the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;
21
na maua, na taa, na makoleo, ya dhahabu, ndiyo dhahabu bora;
the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;
22
na mikasi, na mabakuli, na miiko, na vyetezo, vya dhahabu iliyosafika; na kwa habari za mahali pa kuingia nyumbani, milango yake ya ndani ya patakatifu pa patakatifu, na milango ya nyumba, yaani ya hekalu, ilikuwa ya dhahabu.
the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of pure gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.
