Sulaymaan Oo Macbudkii Dhisay

Oo Sulaymaan wuxuu bilaabay inuu gurigii Rabbiga dhiso markay ahayd afar boqol iyo siddeetan sannadood, kolkii reer binu Israa'iil dalka Masar ka soo baxeen dabadeed, taasoo ahayd sannaddii afraad oo Sulaymaan boqorka u noqday dadkii Israa'iil, bisheedii labaad taasoo ah bisha Sif. Oo gurigii Sulaymaan Rabbiga u dhisay dhererkiisu wuxuu ahaa lixdan dhudhun, ballaadhkiisuna wuxuu ahaa labaatan dhudhun, sarajooggiisuna wuxuu ahaa soddon dhudhun. Oo guriga meeshiisa quduuska ah horteedana waxaa ku tiil balbalo, oo dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa labaatan dhudhun sida guriga ballaadhkiisa; oo xagga guriga hortiisana ballaadhkeedu wuxuu ahaa toban dhudhun. Oo gurigana wuxuu u yeelay daaqado shabag leh. Oo guriga derbigiisa wuxuu ku xijisiiyey dabaqado ku wareegsan derbiyada guriga kaasoo ah macbudka iyo meesha ugu quduusanba; oo dhinacyadana wuxuu u yeelay qolal ku wareegsan. Oo dabaqadda ugu hoosaysa ballaadhkeedu wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun, tan dhexena ballaadhkeedu wuxuu ahaa lix dhudhun, tan saddexaadna ballaadhkeedu wuxuu ahaa toddoba dhudhun; oo inaan dogobbada sarsare ee guriga haya guriga gudihiisa soo gelin aawadeed ayuu guriga dibaddiisa ugu yeelay meelo la saaro. Oo markii guriga la dhisayay waxaa lagu dhisay dhagxan lagu soo diyaariyey meeshii laga soo qoday; oo intii guriga la dhisayay guriga dhexdiisa laguma maqlin dubbe ama faas ama alaab kale oo bir ah. Oo qolalka dabaqadda hoose albaabkoodu wuxuu ku yiil guriga dhankiisa midigta ah; dabaqadda dhexena waxaa kor loogu fuuli jiray jaranjaro warwareegta iyo weliba marka laga baxo tan dhexe ilaa laga galo tan saddexaad. Sidaasuu gurigii u dhisay oo u dhammeeyey, oo wuxuu ku deday dogobbo iyo safaf alwaax kedar ah. 10 Oo dabaqadihii wuxuu ka wada dhisay guriga wareeggiisa oo dhan, oo mid kastaba sarajooggiisu wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun; oo waxay kor saarnaayeen alwaax kedar ah. 11 Oo Sulaymaanna waxaa u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 12 Gurigan aad dhisayso waxaan kaa leeyahay, Haddaad qaynuunnadayda ku socotid, oo aad xukummadayda yeeshid, oo aad amarradayda oo dhan dhawrtid inaad ku socotid aawadeed, markaasaan kugu xoojin doonaa eraygaygii aan aabbahaa Daa'uud kula hadlay. 13 Oo waxaan dhex joogi doonaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo kama tegi doono dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil. 14 Sidaasaa Sulaymaan gurigii u dhisay oo u dhammeeyey. 15 Oo guriga derbiyadiisii gudaha ahaa wuxuu ka dhisay looxyo kedar ah; oo xagga gudaha salka iyo baarka inta ka dhex leh alwaax buu ku deday; oo dhulkii guriga dhexdiisa ahaana wuxuu ku deday looxyo beroosh ah. 16 Oo guriga xaggiisa dambe, salka iyo ilaa derbiyada labaatan dhudhun buu ku dhisay looxyo kedar ah, oo weliba wuxuu gudaha ka dhisay meel quduus ah, taasoo ah meesha ugu wada quduusan. 17 Oo guriga macbudka ah ee ka horreeyey dhererkiisu wuxuu ahaa afartan dhudhun. 18 Oo guriga gudihiisa waxaa ku jiray qori kedar ah oo la xardhay oo ubbooyin iyo ubax furan loo yeelay; oo kulli wuxuu ahaa qori kedar ah, oo dhagax laguma arag. 19 Oo gurigii dhexe badhtankiisa wuxuu ka diyaariyey meel quduus ah inuu dhigo sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga. 20 Oo meesha ugu quduusan waxay lahayd meel dhererkeedu ahaa labaatan dhudhun, ballaadhkeeduna ahaa labaatan dhudhun, sarejooggeeduna ahaa labaatan dhudhun; oo wuxuu ku wada dahaadhay dahab saafi ah; oo meeshii allabarigana wuxuu ku deday qori kedar ah. 21 Sidaasuu Sulaymaan gurigii gudaha ku yiil ugu dahaadhay dahab saafi ah; oo silsilado dahab ah ayuu ku xidhay meeshii quduuska ahayd horteeda, wuxuuna ku wada dahaadhay dahab. 22 Oo guriga oo dhanna wuxuu ku dahaadhay dahab jeer uu gurigii oo dhammu dhammaaday.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)

In the four hundred and eightieth[a] year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month,(B) he began to build the temple of the Lord.(C)

The temple(D) that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.[b] The portico(E) at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits,[c] and projected ten cubits[d] from the front of the temple. He made narrow windows(F) high up in the temple walls. Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.(G) The lowest floor was five cubits[e] wide, the middle floor six cubits[f] and the third floor seven.[g] He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.

In building the temple, only blocks dressed(H) at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool(I) was heard at the temple site while it was being built.

The entrance to the lowest[h] floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third. So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar(J) planks. 10 And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar.

11 The word of the Lord came(K) to Solomon: 12 “As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands(L) and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise(M) I gave to David your father. 13 And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon(N) my people Israel.”

14 So Solomon(O) built the temple and completed(P) it. 15 He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling,(Q) and covered the floor of the temple with planks of juniper.(R) 16 He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.(S) 17 The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits[i] long. 18 The inside of the temple was cedar,(T) carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen.

19 He prepared the inner sanctuary(U) within the temple to set the ark of the covenant(V) of the Lord there. 20 The inner sanctuary(W) was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.(X) 21 Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold. 22 So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.

23 For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim(Y) out of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip. 25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape. 26 The height of each cherub was ten cubits. 27 He placed the cherubim(Z) inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29 On the walls(AA) all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim,(AB) palm trees and open flowers. 30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.

31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary. 32 And on the two olive-wood doors(AC) he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold. 33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall. 34 He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.

36 And he built the inner courtyard(AD) of three courses(AE) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.

37 The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. 38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details(AF) according to its specifications.(AG) He had spent seven years building it.
