2 Waqala ukwakha ngenyanga yesibini, ngowesibini umhla, ngomnyaka wesine wobukumkani bakhe.
3 Siso esi isiseko awasibekayo uSolomon ekuyakheni kwakhe indlu kaThixo; ubude iikubhite ngokomlinganiso omdala bebuziikubhite ezimashumi mathandathu; ububanzi bebuziikubhite ezimashumi mabini.
4 Ivaranda, ebingaphambi kobude bendlu, ibiziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, ingangobubanzi bendlu, nokuphakama kwayo kwakuziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamanci mabini; wayaleka ngaphakathi ngegolide ecocekileyo.
5 Indlu enkulu wayaleka ngemisipres, wayaleka ke yona ngegolide entle, wenza kuyo amasundu nezidanga.
6 Wayivathisa indlu ngamatye anqabileyo ukuyihombisa; igolide leyo ibiyigolide yaseParvayim.
7 Wayaleka indlu, imiqadi, nemigubasi, neendonga zayo, neengcango zayo, ngegolide; wakrola iikerubhi ezindongeni.
8 Wenza indlu yengcwele kangcwele:ubude bayo, ngangobubanzi bendlu, bebuziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, nobubanzi bayo bebuziikubhite ezimashumi mabini; wayaleka ngegolide entle, ekwiitalente ezimakhulu mathandathu.
9 Ubunzima bezikhonkwane bebuziishekele ezimashumi mahlanu zegolide. Wawaleka ngegolide amagumbi aphezulu.
10 Wenza endlwini yengcwele kangcwele iikerubhi ezimbini; zakrolwa ukusetyenzwa kwazo; wazaleka ngegolide.
11 Amaphiko eekerubhi ubude bawo bebuziikubhite ezimashumi mabini; iphiko elinye beliziikubhite ezintlanu, lada laya kufikelela eludongeni lwendlu; nelinye iphiko beliziikubhite ezintlanu, ukuya kufikelela ephikweni leyesibini ikerubhi.
12 Iphiko lenye ikerubhi beliziikubhite ezintlanu, ukuya kufikelela eludongeni lwendlu; nelesibini iphiko beliziikubhite ezintlanu, ukuya kuhlangana nephiko lenye ikerubhi.
13 Amaphiko ezo kerubhi oluka iikubhite ezimashumi mabini; zema ngeenyawo, zikhangelise ubuso kuyo indlu.
14 Wawenza umkhusane ngemisonto emsi nemfusa nebomvu, nelinen ecikizekileyo; wenza iikerubhi kuwo.
15 Wenza phambi kwendlu iintsika zambini:zaziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu anantlanu ubude bazo; ingqukuva esemantloko azo ibiziikubhite ezintlanu.
16 Wenza izidanga emqaleni, wazibeka emantloko eentsika; wenza ikhulu leerharnate, wazibeka ezidangeni.
17 Wazimisa iintsika phambi kwetempile, enye yangasekunene, enye yangasekhohlo; wathi igama leyasekunene nguZinzisayo, negama leyasekhohlo nguMandlakuye.
