Amambo Wakutoma

6 Mu caka 480 Aizraeli* mbadamala kale kubuluka mu dziko ya Ejitu,+ caka cacinai kubulukira mu ndzidzi udakhazikiswa Salomoni ninga mambo wa Izraeli, mwezi wa Zivi*+ (wakuti ndi mwezi waciwiri), Salomoni atoma kumanga nyumba ya Yahova.*+ 2 Nyumba* ya Yahova idamanga Mambo Salomoni ikhali na makhono* 60 aulaphi, makhono 20 augugumi na makhono 30 a cengo.+ 3 Khonde+ ikhali kutsogolo kwa templo* ikhali na makhono 20 aulaphi, akuti akhali sawasawa na ugugumi wa nyumba. Khonde ineyi ikhali na makhono khumi kubulukira padadhroma nyumba kuenda kutsogolo.

4 Iye acita majanela a nyumba. Majanela anewa akhadakula nkati mbacepa kunja.+ 5 Kusiyapo pyenepi, iye amanga makwartu n’khundu mwa pfufu ya nyumba; makwartu anewa azungulira mapfufu* onsene a nyumba ineyi, mapfufu akunja a templo* na a kwartu yankati kakamwe,*+ pontho amanga makwartu akusandzikirana n’khundu monsene.+ 6 Kwartu yapantsi ikhali na makhono maxanu augugumi, yapakati ikhali na makhono matanthatu augugumi, yacitatu ikhali na makhono manomwe augugumi. Iye asasanya mapfufu a makwartu anewa na mitsigiro, munjira yakuti matabwa akhagawa makwartu akusandzikirana mbadacita kusandzikwa m’mbuto mwakuphola pfufu ya nyumba.+

7 Nyumba ineyi yamangwa na miyala yakuti ikhadamala kale kusemwa,+ natenepa mu ndzidzi ukhamangwa iyo nee pakhabveka kugogoda kwa martelo, kutema kwa macado peno kwa utale* unango. 8 Nsuwo wa kwartu yapantsi ukhali kukhundu yakunterero* ya nyumba,+ pontho pakhali na masikada akupotapota akuti akhakwira nawo mpaka nkwartu yapakati, bulukira nkwartu ineyi mpaka nkwartu yacitatu. 9 Iye apitiriza kumanga nyumba mbaimalisa;+ pontho iye aphimbira nyumba ineyi na matabwa a sedhro.+ 10 Iye amanga makwartu n’khundu monsene mwa nyumba,+ kwartu ibodzi na ibodzi ikhali na makhono maxanu a cengo, pontho aphatisira matabwa a sedhro toera kuphataniza makwartu anewa na nyumba.

11 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, Yahova apanga Salomoni: 12 “Thangwi ya nyumba iyi inamanga iwe, ungafamba munjira zanga mbucita pinthu mwakubverana na matongero anga,+ mbubvera mitemo yanga yonsene, ndinadzacitambo kuna iwe pidapikira ine babako Dhavidhi,+ 13 pontho ndinadzakhala pakati pa Aizraeli,+ mbandikhonda kusiya mbumba yanga ya Izraeli.”+

14 Salomoni apitiriza kumanga nyumba toera kuimalisa. 15 Iye amanga mapfufu ankati a nyumba na matabwa a sedhro. Iye abalikisa mapfufu ankati na matabwa, kutomera pantsi mpaka ku ntsoi, pantsi aikhapo matabwa a junipero.+ 16 Nkati mwa nyumba ineyi apima makhono 20 kutomera nduli kuenda kutsogolo, mbagawa na matabwa a sedhro kutomera pantsi mpaka ku ntsoi, pontho n’nyumba ineyi amangamo kwartu yankati kakamwe,+ yakuti ndi Mbuto Yakucena Kakamwe.+ 17 Kutsogolo kwa templo*+ ineyi kukhali na makhono 40. 18 Matabwa ankati mwa nyumba akhadalembwa maluwa+ na misapo ming’ono yakubulungika.+ Pyonsene pikhali pya matabwa a sedhro, nee mwala ubodzi ukhaoneka.

19 Iye asasanyira kwartu yankati kakamwe ya nyumba+ ineyi toera kuikhamo bokosi ya cibverano ya Yahova.+ 20 Kwartu yankati kakamwe ikhali na makhono 20 aulaphi, makhono 20 augugumi na makhono 20 a cengo;+ iye akhwaza ouro yadidi kakamwe kwartu ineyi, pontho kunja kwa guwa ya ntsembe,+ iye asasanyako na matabwa a sedhro. 21 Salomoni akhwaza ouro yadidi kakamwe+ n’nyumba monsene, pontho aikha maunyolo a ouro kutsogolo kwa kwartu yankati kakamwe,+ yakuti ikhadakhwazwa ouro. 22 Iye akhwaza ouro nyumba yonsene mpaka kuimala; iye akhwazambo ouro guwa ya ntsembe+ yakuti ikhali dhuzi na kwartu yankati kakamwe.

23 Nkwartu yankati kakamwe iye asasanyamo akerubhi+ awiri a matabwa a muti wa pinyu, cimo ca kerubhi m’bodzi na m’bodzi cikhali ca makhono khumi.+ 24 Phapido ibodzi ya kerubhi ikhali na makhono maxanu, phapido inango ikhali na makhono maxanu. Kutomera kunkhomo kwa phapido ibodzi mpaka kunkhomo kwa phapido inango akhali makhono khumi. 25 Maphapido a kerubhi waciwiri akhalimbo na makhono khumi. Akerubhi awiri ene akhali na cimo cibodzi cene na maonekero mabodzi ene. 26 Cimo ca kerubhi m’bodzi cikhali ca makhono khumi, pontho kerubhi unango akhali na cimo cibodzi cene. 27 Buluka penepo, iye aikha akerubhi+ nkwartu yankati kakamwe.* Maphapido a akerubhi akhadafuthulwa, natenepa phapido ya kerubhi m’bodzi ikhakhuya pfufu, pontho phapido ya kerubhi unango ikhakhuyambo pfufu inango, mbwenye maphapido anango akhakhuyana pakati pa kwartu ineyi. 28 Iye akhwaza ouro akerubhi anewa.

29 M’mapfufu onsene a nyumba, kuphatanizambo a kwartu yankati na yakunja,* iye akhadalembamo akerubhi,+ miti ya micindu+ na maluwa.+ 30 Iye apakhwaza ouro pantsi pa makwartu mawiri ene. 31 Iye asasanya misuwo ya matabwa a muti wa pinyu, mizati ya n’khundu na maaro, ninga khundu yacixanu* toera kupiikha pansuwo wa kwartu yankati. 32 Misuwo ineyi miwiri ikhali ya matabwa a muti wa pinyu, pontho pa misuwo ineyi iye alembapo akerubhi, miti ya micindu na maluwa, mbaikhwaza ouro; buluka penepo iye akhwaza ouro akerubhi na miti ya micindu. 33 Pansuwo wakupita nawo mu templo,* iye acita munjira ibodzi ene maaro* a matabwa a muti wa pinyu, akuti akhali khundu yacinai.* 34 Pontho iye asasanya misuwo miwiri ya matabwa a junipero. Misuwo miwiri ya pansuwo ubodzi ikhazungulira na miyendo yace, pontho misuwo miwiri ya pansuwo unango ikhazungulirambo na miyendo yace.+ 35 Iye alemba pa misuwo ineyi akerubhi, miti ya micindu na maluwa, buluka penepo apikhwaza ouro.

36 Iye amanga mpanda wa kintalo yankati+ wakuti ukhali na mizera mitatu ya miyala yakusemwa na nzera ubodzi wa matabwa a sedhro.+

37 Mu caka cacinai, mwezi wa Zivi,* nyumba ya Yahova yatoma kumangwa;+ 38 pontho mu caka 11, mwezi wa Bhuli* (wakuti ndi mwezi wacisere), makhundu onsene a nyumba ineyi akhadamala kumangwa ninga mukhafunikira iwo.+ Natenepa Salomoni amala pyaka pinomwe mbakamanga nyumba ineyi.
