The Holy of Holies

1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
Akanileta mpaka hekaluni, akaipima miimo, upana wake dhiraa sita upande mmoja, na upana wake dhiraa sita upande wa pili, ambao ulikuwa ni upana wa maskani.

2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
Na upana wa maingilio yake ulikuwa dhiraa kumi; na mbavu za maingilio zilikuwa dhiraa tano upande huu, na dhiraa tano upande huu; akaupima urefu wake, dhiraa arobaini, na upana wake, dhiraa ishirini.

3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
Kisha akaingia ndani, akapima kila mwimo wa maingilio, dhiraa mbili; nayo maingilio, dhiraa sita; na upana wa maingilio dhiraa saba.

4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place .
Akaupima urefu wake; dhiraa ishirini, na upana wake, dhiraa ishirini, mbele ya hekalu; akaniambia, Hapa ndipo mahali patakatifu kuliko kila mahali.

5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
Kisha akaupima ukuta wa nyumba, dhiraa sita; na upana wa kila chumba cha mbavuni, dhiraa nne, kuizunguka nyumba pande zote.

6 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
Na vile vyumba vya mbavuni vilikuwa na orofa tatu, moja juu ya mwenziwe; vilikuwa thelathini, safu baada ya safu; navyo viliingia ndani ya ukuta uliokuwa wa nyumba, kwa vile vyumba vya mbavuni pande zote vipate kushikamana nao, wala visishikamane na ukuta wa nyumba.

7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
Na vile vyumba vya mbavuni vilizidi kuwa vipana, kwa kadiri vilivyoizunguka nyumba juu kwa juu; maana kule kuzunguka kwake kulikwenda juu kwa juu, kuizunguka nyumba; basi upana wa nyumba ulikuwa ule ule hata juu; basi hupanda juu toka chumba cha chini hata chumba cha juu, kwa njia ya kile chumba cha katikati.

8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
Tena, nikaona ya kwamba nyumba ile ilikuwa na sakafu ya mawe, iliyoinuliwa pande zote; nayo misingi ya vyumba vya mbavuni ilikuwa mwanzi mzima wa dhiraa sita.

9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
Unene wa ukuta uliokuwa wa vile vyumba vya mbavuni, upande wa nje, ulikuwa dhiraa tano; nayo nafasi iliyobaki ilikuwa dhiraa tano; na kati ya vyumba vya mbavuni vya nyumba,

10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
na vyumba vya walinzi, upana wa dhiraa ishirini, kuizunguka nyumba pande zote.

11 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
Na milango ya vile vyumba vya mbavuni iliielekea nafasi ile iliyobaki, mlango mmoja ulielekea upande wa kaskazini, na mlango mmoja upande wa kusini; na upana wa nafasi iliyobaki ulikuwa dhiraa tano pande zote.

12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
Nalo jengo lililokabili mahali palipotengeka upande wa magharibi, upana wake dhiraa sabini; na ukuta wa lile jengo, unene wake dhiraa tano pande zote, na urefu wake dhiraa tisini.

13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
Basi akaipima nyumba, urefu wake dhiraa mia; na mahali pale palipotengeka na jengo lile, pamoja na kuta zake, urefu wake dhiraa mia;

14 also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
tena upana wa uso wa nyumba, na wa mahali palipotengeka upande wa mashariki, dhiraa mia.

Interior of the Temple

15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
Akaupima urefu wa jengo lile lililokabili mahali palipotengeka, palipokuwa nyuma yake, na baraza zake upande huu na upande huu, dhiraa mia; na hekalu la ndani, na kumbi za ua;

16 the door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
na vizingiti, na madirisha yaliyofungwa, na baraza za pande zote za orofa zile tatu, zilizokikabili kizingiti, zilitiwa mabamba ya mti pande zote; na toka chini hata madirishani; (nayo madirisha yamefunikwa);

17 to that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
na mpaka juu ya mlango hata nyumba ya ndani, na nje, na juu ya kuta zote pande zote, katika nyumba ya ndani, na ya nje,

18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
kulipambwa kwa makerubi na mitende; mtende mmoja kati ya kerubi na kerubi, na kila kerubi lilikuwa na nyuso mbili;

19 so that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.
basi palikuwa na uso wa mwanadamu kuelekea mtende mmoja, na uso wa mwana-simba kuelekea mtende wa pili; ndivyo vilivyofanyika katika nyumba nzima pande zote.

20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
Toka chini hata juu ya mlango makerubi yamefanyika, na mitende, na vivi hivi ukuta wa hekalu.

21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other .
Na hilo hekalu, miimo ya milango yake ilikuwa ya miraba; na mbele ya patakatifu kuonekana kwake palionekana kama hapo kwanza.

22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.
Madhabahu ilikuwa ni ya miti, kimo chake dhiraa tatu, na urefu wake dhiraa mbili; na pembe zake, na msingi wake, na kuta zake zilikuwa za miti; akaniambia, Hii ndiyo meza iliyo mbele za Bwana.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
Nalo hekalu na patakatifu palikuwa na milango miwili.

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece , two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door .
Na milango hiyo, kila mmoja ulikuwa na mbao mbili; mbao mbili zigeukazo; mbao mbili za mlango mmoja, na mbao mbili za mlango wa pili.

25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
Na milango ya hekalu ilifanyiziwa makerubi na mitende vile vile, kama zile kuta zilivyofanyiziwa; tena palikuwa na boriti nene juu ya uso wa ukumbi, nje.

26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
Tena palikuwa na madirisha yaliyofungwa, na mitende, upande huu na upande huu, katika pande za ukumbi; ndiyo habari ya vyumba vya mbavuni vya nyumba hiyo, na vya boriti zile nene.
