¹Saizvozvo mabasa ose akaitirwa imba yaJehovha naSoromoni akapera. Zvino Soromoni akapinza zvinhu zvakanga zvatsaurirwa Jehovha nababa vake Dhavhidhi, sirivha, nendarama, nenhumbi dzose, akadziisa muzvivigiro zveimba yaMwari.

¹And all the work that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah is finished, and Solomon bringeth in the sanctified things of David his father, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he hath put among the treasures of the house of God.

²Zvino Soromoni akaunganidza vakuru valsiraeri, navakuru vose vamarudzi, iwo machinda edzimba dzamadzibaba avana vaIsiraeri, paJerusaremu, akakwidza areka yesungano yaJehovha ibve paguta raDhavhidhi, iro Ziyoni.

²Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David -- it [is] Zion.

³Varume vose vaIsiraeri vakaungana kuna mambo pamutambo, wakange uri pamwedzi wechinomwe.

³And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the feast -- it [is] the seventh month;

⁴Vakuru vose vaIsiraeri vakasvika, vaRevhi vakasimudza areka.

⁴and all the elders of Israel come in, and the Levites lift up the ark,

⁵Vakakwira neareka, netende rokusangana, nenhumbi dzose tsvene dzakanga dziri muTende; vapristi vaRevhi vakakwira naizvozvo.

⁵and they bring up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the vessels of the sanctuary that [are] in the tent; brought them up have the priests, the Levites;

⁶Mambo Soromoni, neungano yose yavaIsiraeri yakanga yaunganira kwaari, vakafamba pamberi peareka, vakabayira makwai nenzombe, zvakanga zvisingagoni kuverengwa nokuwanda kwazvo.

⁶and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.

⁷Ipapo vapristi vakagadzika areka yesungano yaJehovha panzvimbo yayo, panzvimbo tsvene yeimba, panzvimbo tsvene-tsvene, ipo panyasi pamapapiro amakerubhi.

⁷And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;

⁸nekuti makerubhi akatambanudza mapapiro awo pamusoro penzvimbo yeareka, makerubhi akafukidza areka namatanda ayo nechokumusoro.

⁸and the cherubs are spreading out wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves, from above;

⁹Matanda akanga akareba; naizvozvo miromo yamatanda yakanga ichionekwa kana munhu ari paareka pamberi penzvimbo tsvene; asi akanga asingaonekwi nechokunze, ichipo kusvikira nhasi.

⁹and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen out of the ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen without; and it is there unto this day.

¹⁰Mukati meareka makanga musisine chiro, asi mabwendefa maviri akanga aiswamo naMozisi paHorebhu, nguva Jehovha yaakaita sungano navana valsiraeri pakubuda kwavo paEgipita.

¹⁰There is nothing in the ark but the two tables that Moses gave in Horeb, where Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from Egypt.

¹¹Zvino vapristi vakati vabuda panzvimbo tsvene (nokuti vapristi vose, vakanga varipo, vakanga vazvinatsa, vasingaiti hanya namapoka avo;

¹¹And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the sanctuary -- for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by courses,

¹²navaRevhi vosewo, vaiva vaimbi, vose vavo, vaiti, Asafi, naHemani, naJedhutuni, nokuvanakomana vavo, navananin'ina vavo, vakafuka micheka michena yakapfava, vanamakandira, nemitengerangwa, nembira, vakamira kurutivi rwamabvazuva rwearitari, uye pamwechete navo vapristi vane zana namakumi maviri, vachiridza hwamanda;)

¹²and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brethren, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them priests, to a hundred and twenty, blowing with trumpets --

¹³zvino varidzi vehwamanda, navaimbi, vakati vachiita mawa, vachiita nenzwi rimwe vachirumbidza nokuvonga Jehovha; vakati vachiimbisa pamwechete nehwamanda, namakandira, nezvokuridzisa nazvo, vachirumbidza Jehovha, vachiti, nekuti akanaka. Nekuti nyasha dzake dzinogara nokusingaperi; ipapo imba yakazara negore, iyo imba yaJehovha;

¹³yea, it cometh to pass, as one [are] trumpeters and singers, to sound -- one voice -- to praise and to give thanks to Jehovah, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to Jehovah, for good, for to the age [is] His kindness, that the house is filled with a cloud -- the house of Jehovah,

¹⁴naizvozvo vapristi vakanga vasingagoni kumira pabasa nokuda kwegore; nekuti kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakazadza imba yaMwari.

¹⁴and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of God.
