Indlu yethempeli
1 USolomoni wayeseqala ukwakha indlu kaJehova eJerusalema entabeni yaseMoriya, lapho uJehova abonakala khona kuDavide uyise, nalapho eselungisile khona endaweni kaDavide esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi. 2 Waqala ukwakha ngolwesibili lwenyanga yesibili ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe.
3Yilesi isisekelo uSolomoni asibekela ukuba kwakhiwe indlu kaNkulunkulu: ubude ngezingalo zesilinganiso esidala babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, ububanzi babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili. 4Umpheme owawuphambi kwendlu ende malungana nobubanzi bendlu wawuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nokuphakama kwakuyikhulu namashumi amabili; wawunameka phakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo. 5Indlu enkulu wayembesa imisayipuresi,* wayinameka ngegolide elihle, waqopha kulo amasundu namaketanga. 6Wayihlobisa indlu ngamatshe ayigugu ukuze ivunuliswe; igolide laliyigolide laseParivayimi. 7Wanameka nendlu, nemishayo, nemibundu, nezindonga zayo, neminyango yayo ngegolide, waqopha amakherubi* ezindongeni.
8Wenza indlu engcwelengcwele; yayimalungana nobubanzi bendlu; ubude bayo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nobubanzi bayo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili; wayinameka ngegolide elihle, lingamatalenta* angamakhulu ayisithupha. 9Isisindo sezipikili sasingamashekeli* angamashumi ayisihlanu egolide. Amakamelo angaphezulu wawanameka ngegolide.
10Endlini engcwelengcwele wenza amakherubi* amabili aqoshiweyo; bawanameka ngegolide. 11Amaphiko amakherubi ayeyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili; iphiko lelinye laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, lathinta odongeni lwendlu; elinye iphiko nalo laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, lathinta ephikweni lelinye ikherubi. 12Iphiko lelinye ikherubi laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, lathinta odongeni lwendlu; elinye iphiko laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu nalo, lafinyelela ephikweni lelinye ikherubi. 13 Amaphiko alawo makherubi azelula izingalo ezingamashumi amabili; ema ngezinyawo zawo, ubuso bawo bubheke endlini.
14 Wenza isihenqo ngokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo, wabeka kuso amakherubi.
15 Wenza ngaphakathi kwendlu izinsika ezimbili, ukuphakama kwazo kwakuyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu nanhlanu; isihloko esasingaphezu kwaleyo naleyo sasiyizingalo eziyisihlanu. 16Wenza amaketanga egumbini, wawabeka ezihlokweni zezinsika; wenza amapomegranati* ayikhulu, wawabeka emaketangeni. 17Wazimisa izinsika phambi kwethempeli, enye ngakwesokunene nenye ngakwesokhohlo, wabiza igama lengakwesokunene ngokuthi uJakini negama lengakwesokhohlo ngokuthi uBowazi.
