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

¹Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, 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.

²For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

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

³It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row.

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

⁴There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.

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

⁵All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over 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.

⁶He made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.

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

⁷He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even 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.

⁸His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.

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 were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

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

¹⁰The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

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

¹¹Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.

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

¹²The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and the porch of the house.

¹³Zvino mambo Soromoni akatuma vanhu kundotora Hiramu paTire.

¹³King 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 the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon, and performed 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.

¹⁵For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them about.

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

¹⁶He made two capitals of molten brass, to set on 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.

¹⁷There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on 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.

¹⁸So he made the pillars; and there were two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars: and he did so for the other capital.

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

¹⁹The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, 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.

²⁰There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows around on the other capital.

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

²¹He set up the pillars at 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.

²²On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars 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.

²³He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.

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

²⁴Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, 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 on 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 set on them above, 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.

²⁶It was a handbreadth thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

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

²⁷He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.

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

²⁸The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

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 ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging 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.

³⁰Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

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.

³¹The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

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

³²The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles 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.

³³The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, 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.

³⁴There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.

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

³⁵In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; 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.

³⁶On the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.

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

³⁷In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and 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.

³⁸He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.

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

³⁹He set 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, toward the south.

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

⁴⁰Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Yahweh:

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

⁴¹the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that 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 each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

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

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

⁴⁴nedziva rimwe, nenzombe gumi nembiri pasi pedziva;

⁴⁴and the 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 basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished brass.

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

⁴⁶The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

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

⁴⁷Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.

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

⁴⁸Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;

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

⁴⁹and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; 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 cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.

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.

⁵¹Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
