² Waqala ukwakha ngenyanga yesibili ngosuku lwesibili, ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe.

³ Lezi ziyizinto uSolomoni aziyalwa ukuba kwakhiwe indlu kaNkulunkulu. Ubude ngezingalo ngokwesilinganiso sokuqala babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, nobubanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili.

⁴ Umpheme owawuphambi kwendlu, ubude bawo babulingana nobubanzi bendlu, buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nokuphakama kwawo kwakuyikhulu namashumi amabili; walinameka ngaphakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo.

⁵ Indlu enkulu wayigcoba ngemisayipuresi, wayinameka ngegolide elihle, wafaka kuyo amasundu namaketanga.

⁶ Wahlobisa indlu ngamatshe ayigugu ukuze ibe yinkazimulo, igolide laliyigolide laseParvayimi.

⁷ Wayinameka indlu, nemishayo, nezinsika, nezindonga zayo, neminyango yayo ngegolide; namakherubi eqoshwe ezindongeni.

⁸ Wenza indlu eNgcwelengcwele, ubude bayo babulingana nobubanzi bendlu, buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nobubanzi bayo buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili; wayinameka ngegolide elihle lamatalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha.

⁹ Isisindo sezipikili sasingamashekeli angamashumi amahlanu egolide. Amakamelo angaphezulu wanameka ngegolide.

¹⁰ Endlini eNgcwelengcwele wenza amakherubhi amabili abaziwe wawahuqa ngegolide.

¹¹ Amaphiko amakherubi ayeyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili ubude; elinye iphiko lekherubi laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, laya odongeni lwendlu; nelinye iphiko laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu ngokufanayo, kuze kufike ephikweni lelinye ikherubi.

¹² Iphiko lelinye ikherubi laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, lakhuphukela odongeni lwendlu; nelinye iphiko laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, lafinyelela ephikweni lelinye ikherubi.

¹³ Amaphiko ala makherubi elu izingalo ezingamashumi amabili; ema ngezinyawo zawo, ubuso bawo bubheke ngaphakathi.

¹⁴ Wenza iveli ngokuyibubende, nokububende, nokubomvu, nelineni elicolekileyo kakhulu, wenza phezu kwalo amakherubi.

¹⁵ Wenza nezinsika ezimbili phambi kwendlu, ukuphakama kwazo kwakuyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu nanhlanu, nesihloko esasiphezu kwaleyo naleyo sasiyizingalo eziyisihlanu.

¹⁶ Wenza amaketanga njengekamelo elingaphakathi, wawabeka ezinhloko zezinsika; wenza amabhomu ayikhulu, wawafaka emaketangeni.

¹⁷ Wazimisa izinsika phambi kwethempeli, enye ngakwesokunene nenye ngakwesokhohlo; igama lengakwesokunene lalithiwa nguJagini, negama lengakwesokhohlo lalithi nguBhowazi.
