(A)Yazimba ekyoto eky’ekikomo, obuwanvu bwakyo mita mwenda, n’obugazi bwakyo mita mwenda, ng’obugulumivu bwakyo mita nnya n’ekitundu. (B)N’akola Ennyanja ensaanuuse, nga neekulungirivu, nga ya mita nnya n’ekitundu okuva ku mugo okutuuka ku mugo, ng’obugulumivu eri mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu, ate ng’obwetooloovu eri mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu. Wansi waakyo waaliyo ebifaananyi by’ente ennume nga mumbe, nga buli emu eri kitundu kya mita obuwanvu, era nga zikyetoolodde. Ebifaananyi byasaanuusibwanga mu nnyiriri bbiri bbiri, ekidiba bwe kyasaanuusibwanga.

Ennyanja yatuulanga ku zo waggulu, n’amagulu gaazo ag’emabega nga gatunudde munda, wakati waayo. Obukwafu bwayo bwali nga luta, n’omugo gwayo ng’omugo gw’ekikopo, n’okufaanana ng’efaanana ng’ekimuli ky’amalanga. Yatekebwangamu lita emitwalo mukaaga. (D)N’akolayo ne bensani kkumi ez’okwolezangamu, etaano n’azissa ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo, n’ettaano endala n’azissa ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono. Omwo mwe mwanyumungulizibwanga ebintu ebyakozesebwanga mu kiseera eky’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, naye ng’Ennyanja ya bakabona okuginaabirangamu. (E)N’akola ebikondo eby’ettaala ez’omukono kkumi nga bya zaabu, ng’ekiragiro kyabyo bwe kyali, n’abiteeka mu yeekaalu, ebitaano ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo, n’ebitaano ebirala ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono. (F)N’akola n’emmeeza kkumi, n’aziteeka mu yeekaalu, etaano ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo, n’etaano endala ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono. N’akola ne bbakuli ezikozesebwa okumansira kkumi nga za zaabu.

(G)N’akola oluggya lwa bakabona, n’oluggya olunene ddala, n’enzigi ez’oluggya, n’enzigi n’azisaaba n’ekikomo. 10 Ennyanja n’agiteeka ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obw’ebuvanjuba mu yeekaalu.

11 (H)N’akola n’ensuwa, n’ebisena, ne bbakuli.

Awo Kulamu n’amaliriza omulimu ogwali gumuwereddwa kabaka Sulemaani ku yeekaalu ya Katonda:

12 empagi bbiri,

n’emitwe egifaanana ng’ebakuli ku mitwe gy’empagi,

n’ebitimba bya mirundi ebiri nga bibeera ku mitwe egyali ku mpagi,

13 n’amakomamawanga ebikumi bina obw’ebitimba biri ebibiri, buli kitimba nga kirina ennyiriri bbiri ez’amakomamawanga, nga zitimbye emitwe gy’empagi.

14 (I)N’akola n’ebiyimirirwako, n’amabensani gaakwo,

15 n’Ennyanja n’ebifaananyi by’ente ennume emumbe,

16 (J)n’ensuwa, n’ebisena, n’ewuuma ez’ennyama, n’ebintu byonna ebigenderako.

Ebintu byonna Kulamu bye yakolera Kabaka Sulemaani ku lwa yeekaalu ya Mukama yabizigula n’ekikomo. 17 (K)Kabaka yalagira babisaanuusize mu lusenyi lwa Yoludaani, awali ettaka ery’ebbumba wakati w’e Sukkosi n’e Zereda. 18 (L)Sulemaani n’akola ebintu ebyo byonna nga bingi nnyo nnyini, n’obuzito bw’ekikomo mwe byakolebwa ne butamanyibwa.

19 (M)Sulemaani n’akola ebintu byonna ebyole mu yeekaalu ya Katonda:

ekyoto ekya zaabu,

n’emmeeza okwabanga emigaati egy’okulaga,

20 (N)n’ebikondo eby’ettaala ez’omukono nga bya zaabu, wamu ne ttaala zaabyo, okwakiranga mu maaso g’awaayimirirwanga okwogera, ng’ekiragiro bwe kyali,

21 n’ebimuli, ne ttaala, ne wuuma nga byonna zaabu ntuukirivu,

22 (O)n’ebisalako ebisirinza, ne bensani, ne bbakuli ez’okumansira akaloosa, ne fulampeni nga bya zaabu ennongoose, n’enzigi za yeekaalu, n’enzigi ez’omunda mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo, n’enzigi ez’ekisenge ekinene, nga byonna bya zaabu.

The Temple’s Furnishings(A)

He made a bronze altar(B) twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.[a] He made the Sea(C) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits[b] high. It took a line of thirty cubits[c] to measure around it. Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it—ten to a cubit.[d] The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east.(D) The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. It was a handbreadth[e] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.[f]

He then made ten basins(E) for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings(F) were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.

He made ten gold lampstands(G) according to the specifications(H) for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

He made ten tables(I) and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.(J)

He made the courtyard(K) of the priests, and the large court and the doors for the court, and overlaid the doors with bronze. 10 He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.

11 And Huram also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished(L) the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:

12 the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);

14 the stands(M) with their basins;

15 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

16 the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles.

All the objects that Huram-Abi(N) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth(O) and Zarethan.[g] 18 All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze(P) could not be calculated.

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God’s temple:

the golden altar;

the tables(Q) on which was the bread of the Presence;

20 the lampstands(R) of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

21 the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold);

22 the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(S) and censers;(T) and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall.
