¹Soromoni wakapedza makore gumi namatatu pakuvaka imba yake, akapedza imba yake yose.

¹And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house; and he finished all his house.

²nekuti wakavaka imba nemiti yamatondo eRebhanoni; yakanga yakasvika makubhiti ane zana pakureba kwayo, namakubhiti makumi mashanu paupamhi hwayo, namakubhiti makumi matatu pakukwirira kwayo; akaivaka pamusoro pemitsara mina yembiru dzemisidhari, namatanda emisidhari pamusoro pembiru.

²And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar-pillars, with cedar-beams upon the pillars;

³Yakanga yakafukidzwa namatanda emisidhari kumusoro, pamusoro pamakamuri aiva namakumi mana namashanu pamusoro pembiru, makamuri ane gumi namashanu pamusara mumwe.

³and it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, which were on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.

⁴Kwakanga kunemisara mitatu yamahwindo, hwindo rimwe rakatarisana nerimwe hwindo, pamitsara mitatu yakaturikidzana.

⁴And there were cross-beams in three rows, and window was against window in three ranks.

⁵Magonhi ose namagwatidziro zvaiva namativi mana akaenzana; hwindo rimwe rakanga rakatarisana nerimwe hwindo, pamitsara mitatu yakaturikidzana.

⁵And all the doors and posts were square, with an architrave; and window was against window in three ranks.

⁶Akaita berere rembiru; rakanga rakasvika makubhiti makumi mashanu pakureba kwaro, namakubhiti makumi matatu paupamhi hwaro, neberere pamberi padzo, nedzimwe mbiru nedanda gobvu pamberi padzo.

⁶And he made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and there was a porch in front of them; and there were pillars, and steps in front of them.

⁷Akaitawo berere rechigaro chake choushe, paangatonga mhaka, iro berere rokutonga; iro rakanga rakafukidzwa namapuranga omusidhari kubva pasi kusvikira pasi.

⁷And he made the porch for the throne where he judged, the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

⁸Neimba yake yokugara, kuno rumwe ruvazhe mukati meberere, yakanga yakaitwa saizvozvo. Akaitirawo mukunda waFarao imba (waakanga awana iye Soromoni,) yakanga yakafanana neberere iro.

⁸And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. And he made, like to this porch, a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken.

⁹Idzi dzose dzakanga dzakavakwa namabwe anokosha, ari mabwe akavezwa, akaenzaniswa zvakanaka, akachekwa namajeko mukati nokunze, kubva panheyo kusvikira kumusoro, nokunzewo kusvikira kuruvazhe rukuru.

⁹All these [buildings] were of costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside as far as the great court.

¹⁰Nheyo dzakanga dzakavakwa namabwe anokosha, mabwe makuru, mabwe akasvika makubhiti ane gumi, namabwe akasvika makubhiti masere.

¹⁰And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

¹¹Kumusoro kwakanga kuna mabwe anokosha, mabwe akavezwa, akaenzaniswa zvakanaka, namapuranga omusidhari.

¹¹And above were costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, and cedar.

¹²Ruvazhe rukuru rwakanga rwakapoteredza, rwakanga rune misara mitatu yamabwe akavezwa, nomusara mumwe wamatanda omusidhari; rwakanga rwakafanana noruvazhe rwomukati rweimba yaJehovha, neberere reimba.

¹²And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar-beams; and so it was for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.

¹³Zvino mambo Soromoni akatuma vanhu kundotora Hiramu paTire.

¹³And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

¹⁴lye wakange ari mwanakomana wechirikadzi yorudzi rwaNafitari; baba vake vaiva munhu weTire, mupfuri wendarira; iye wakange akangwara kwazvo ane njere noumhizha kubata mabasa ose endarira. Akauya kuna mambo Soromoni, akabata mabasa ake ose.

¹⁴He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was full of wisdom and understanding and knowledge, to do all kinds of works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and made all his work.

¹⁵Nekuti wakaumba mbiru mbiri dzendarira, imwe neimwe yakasvika makubhiti ane gumi namasere pakureba; uye pakuyera rwonzi rwakasvika makubhiti ane gumi namaviri rwakapoteredza mbiru imwe neimwe.

¹⁵And he formed the two pillars of brass; the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed the second pillar.

¹⁶Akaumbawo misoro miviri yendarira yakanyauswa, kuti iiswe pamusoro pembiru; musoro mumwe wakasvika makubhiti mashanu pakureba, nomumwe musoro makubhiti mashanuwo pakureba.

¹⁶And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits;

¹⁷Misoro, yaiva pamusoro pembiru, yakanga ine mimbure yakarukwa yendarira, nezvishongo zvamaketani; minomwe yomusoro mumwe, neminomwe yomumwe musorozve.

¹⁷[and] nets of checker-work, wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

¹⁸Akaitawo matamba, kwakanga kune misara miviri yakapoteredza pamusoro pomumbure mumwe, kufukidza misoro yakanga iri pamusoro pembiru, akaitira mumwe musoro saizvozvo.

¹⁸And he made pomegranates, namely two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars; and so he did for the other capital.

¹⁹Misoro, yaiva pamusoro pembiru paberere, yakanga ina maruva amahapa akavezwa, akasvika makubhiti mana.

¹⁹And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily-work [as] in the porch, four cubits.

²⁰Kumusoro kwakanga kune misorowo pamusoro pembiru mbiri, pedo nedumbu rakanga riri parutivi rwomumbure wakarukwa; namatamba akanga ana mazana maviri, akaita mitsara yakapoteredza pamusoro pomumwe musoro.

²⁰And the capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close to the enlargement which was behind the network, had two hundred pomegranates in rows round about, [also] on the other capital.

²¹Zvino akamisa mbiru paberere retemberi, akamisa mbiru yorudyi, akatumidza zita rayo Jakini; akamisa mbiru yoruboshwe, akatumidza zita rayo Bhowasi.

²¹And he set up the pillars for the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.

²²Pamusoro pembiru pakanga pane zvishongo seruva rehapa, naizvozvo basa rapambiru rakapera.

²²And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; and the work of the pillars was finished.

²³Zvino akaita dziva rendarira yakanyauswa, rakasvika makubhiti ane gumi paupamhi pamuromo, rakatenderera; kukwirira kwaro kwakasvika makubhiti mashanu; uye pakuyera rwonzi rwakasvika makubhiti makumi matatu rwakaripoteredza.

²³And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.

²⁴Pasi pomuromo waro pakanga panamafundo akaripoteredza, akanga ane gumi pakubhiti rimwe nerimwe, aipoteredza dziva; mafundo akaita misara miviri, akaumbwa pamwechete naro.

²⁴And under the brim of it round about there were colocynths, encompassing it, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about; two rows of colocynths, cast when it was cast.

²⁵Rakanga rimire pamusoro penzombe gumi nembiri, nhatu dzakanga dzakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro, nhatu kurutivi rwa mavirazuva, nhatu kurutivi rwezasi, uye nhatu kurutivi rwamabvazuva, dziva rakanga rakagadzwa pamusoro padzo, idzo dzakafuratirana.

²⁵It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

²⁶Ukobvu hwaro hwaiva soupamhi bwechanza, uye muromo waro wakange wakafanana nomuromo wembiya, seruva rehapa, mukati maro maipinda mabhati ane zviuru zviviri.

²⁶And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; it held two thousand baths.

²⁷Akaitawo zvingoro zvine gumi zvendarira; chingoro chimwe nechimwe chaisvika makubhiti mana pakureba, namakubhiti mana paupamhi, namakubhiti matatu pakukwirira.

²⁷And he made ten bases of brass: four cubits was the length of one base, and the breadth four cubits, and the height three cubits.

²⁸Zvingoro zvakanga zvakaitwa kudai: Zvaiva noukomba, ukomba uhwo hwakakombwa nemidengerero.

²⁸And the work of the bases was this: they had panels, and the panels were between the fillets.

²⁹Paukomba uhwo pakati pemidengerero paiva neshumba, nenzombe, namakerubhi; pamusoro pemidengerero pakanga pakadarowo; pasi peshumba nenzombe paiva nezvishongo zvakarembera.

²⁹And on the panels that were between the fillets were lions, oxen and cherubim; and over the fillets there was a base above; and beneath the lions and oxen were garlands of festoon-work.

³⁰Chingoro chimwe nechimwe chaiva namakumbo mana endarira nezvokumonerekerapo zvendarira, makumbo acho mana aiva nezvitsigiro; zvitsigiro izvo zvakanga zvakaumbirwa pasi pomudziyo wokushambidzira, nezvishongo kurutivi rumwe norumwe.

³⁰And every base had four wheels of brass, and axles of brass; and on its four corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laver were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland.

³¹Muromo wawo pakati pomusoro nokumusoro kwawo wakasvika kubhiti rimwe; muromo wawo wakange wakatenderera, wakafanana nechigadziko, kubhiti rimwe nehafu; pamuromo wawo paiva nezvakanyorwa, asi ukomba hwawo hwaiva namativi mana akaenzana, zvisina kutenderera.

³¹And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit; and its mouth was rounded, [as] the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth was sculpture; but their panels were square, not round.

³²Makumbo mana akanga ari pasi poukomba, uye zvokubatisa makumbo zvaiva pangoro; gumbo rimwe nerimwe rakasvika kubhiti rimwe nehafu pakukwirira kwaro.

³²And the four wheels were under the panels; and the supports of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

³³Makumbo akanga akafanana namakumbo engoro; zvokubatisa makumbo, namafero, namasipoki, namaneivhi zvakanga zvakaumbwa zvose.

³³And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.

³⁴Paiva nezvitsigiro zvina pamakona mana echingoro chimwe nechimwe; zvitsigiro zvaiva zvimwe nengoro imene.

³⁴And there were four shoulder-pieces to the four corners of one base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces.

³⁵Pamusoro pechingoro paiva nechitenderere chakasvika hafu yekubhiti pakukwirira uye pamusoro pengoro zvitsigiro zvayo nohukomba hwayo zvaiva zvimwe.

³⁵And in the top of the base there was a circular elevation of half a cubit round about; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.

³⁶Panhivi dzezvitsigiro zvayo, uye paukomba hwayo akaveza makerubhi neshumba, nemiti yemichindwe pazvakaringana, nezvishongo kunhivi dzose.

³⁶And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its panels cherubim, lions and palm-trees, according to the space upon each; and garlands were round about.

³⁷Akaita zvingoro zvine gumi saizvozvo; zvose zvakanga zvakafanana pakuumbwa nokuenzana, nomufananidzo mumwe.

³⁷After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, one form.

³⁸Akaita midziyo yokushambidzira ine gumi; mudziyo mumwe nomumwe waipinda mabhati makumi mana emvura; mudziyo mumwe nomumwe wakasvika makubhiti mana; pangoro dzose gumi pakanga pane mudziyo pangoro imwe neimwe.

³⁸And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; every laver was four cubits; upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

³⁹Akaisa zvingoro, zvishanu kurutivi rworudyi rweimba, uye zvishanu kurutivi rworuboshwe rweimba; akagadzika dziva kurutivi rworudyi rweimba kumabvazuva nechezasi.

³⁹And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south.

⁴⁰Hiramu akaita midziyo yokushambidzira, nefoshoro, nembiya. Naizvozvo Hiramu akapedza mabasa ose aakaitira Soromoni paimba yaJehovha;

⁴⁰And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram ended doing all the work that he made for king Solomon [for] the house of Jehovah:

⁴¹zvaiti: Mbiru mbiri, nembiya mbiri dzemisoro miviri, yaiva pamisoro yembiru; uye mimbure miviri yokufukidza nayo mbiya mbiri dzemisoro miviri yaiva pamusoro pembiru;

⁴¹two pillars, and the globes of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

⁴²namatamba ana mazana mana emimbure miviri, misara miviri yamatamba pamumbure mumwe nomumwe, kufukidza mbiya mbiri yemisoro yaiva pamusoro pembiru;

⁴²and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars;

⁴³nezvingoro zvine gumi, nemidziyo yokushambidzira ine gumi pamusoro pezvingoro;

⁴³and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;

⁴⁴nedziva rimwe, nenzombe gumi nembiri pasi pedziva;

⁴⁴and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

⁴⁵nehari, nefoshoro, nembiya; nhumbi idzi dzose dzakaitirwa mambo Soromoni naHiramu mumba maJehovha, dzakanga dzakaitwa nendarira yakabwinyiswa.

⁴⁵and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these things, which Hiram made king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, were of bright brass.

⁴⁶Mambo akadziumba pabani raJoridhani, pakati peSukoti neZaretani, paiva nevhu rokuumba.

⁴⁶In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zaretan.

⁴⁷Soromoni haana kuyera nhumbi dzose, nekuti dzaiva zhinji kwazvo; vakanga vasingagoni kuverenga kurema kwendarira.

⁴⁷And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed] from their exceeding number; the weight of the brass was not ascertained.

⁴⁸Soromoni akaita nhumbi dzose dzaiva mumba maJehovha, dzaiti: Aritari yendarama, netafura yendarama paiva nezvingwa zvokuratidza;

⁴⁸And Solomon made all the vessels that were [in] the house of Jehovah: the golden altar; and the table of gold, whereon was the shewbread;

⁴⁹nemwenje yendarama yakaisvonaka, mishanu kurutivi rworudyi, nemishanu kurutivi rworuboshwe, pamberi pangataura Jehovha; namaruva, nemwenje, nembato dzendarama;

⁴⁹and the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right, and five on the left, before the oracle; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

⁵⁰nemikombe, nembato dzemwenje, nembiya, nezvirongo, nezvaenga zvomoto zvendarama yakaisvonaka; nezvibato zvamagonhi zvendarama, zvamagonhi eimba yomukati, iyo nzvimbo tsvenetsvene, nezvamagonhi eimba, iyo temberi.

⁵⁰and the basons, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, for the folding-doors of the inner house, the most holy place, [and] for the doors of the house, of the temple.

⁵¹Naizvozvo basa rose, rakaitwa namambo Soromoni paimba yaJehovha, rakapera. Soromoni akaisawo nhumbi dzakanga dzatsaurirwa Mwari naDhavhidhi baba vake, sirivha, nendarama, nemidziyo, akadziisa padzimba dzokuchengeta fuma dzeimba yaJehovha.

⁵¹And all the work was finished that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; the silver and the gold and the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of Jehovah.
