1 Wenza isibingelelo sobhedu: baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini ubude baso, baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini ububanzi baso, kwaziikubhite ezilishumi ukuphakama kwaso.2 Wenza ulwandle olutyhidiweyo: lwaziikubhite ezilishumi ukusuka kolunye udini, uye kolunye udini lwalo; lwayinqila ngeenxa zonke, iwaziikubhite ezintlanu ukuphakama kwalo; waziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu umtya ojikeleyo kulo ngeenxa zonke.3 Yangumfuziselo wamathangazana ngaphantsi kodini ngeenxa zonke, alujikeleza ngeenxa zonke: alishumi ekubhitini, aluzunguleza ulwandle, yamibini imikrozo yamathangazana, ityhidiwe ekutyhidweni kwalo.4 Ulwandle lwema phezu kweenkomo ezilishumi elinambini: ezintathu zibheke entla, ezintathu zibheke entshonalanga, ezintathu zibheke ezantsi, ezintathu zibheke empumalanga; ulwandle lubekwe phezu kwazo ngaphezulu, imiva yazo yonke isinge phakathi.5 Ubungqingqwa balo bebungangobubanzi besandla; udini lwalo belwenziwe lwanjengodini lwendebe, lwaneentyantyambo zeenyibiba; lwaye lungena iibhate ezimawaka mathathu.6 Wenza izitya zokuhlambela zalishumi: wabeka zazihlanu ngasekunene, zazihlanu ngasekhohlo, ukuze kuhlanjwe kuzo, kuhlanjululwe into yomsebenzi wedini elinyukayo kuzo; ke lona ulwandle belulolokuze ababingeleli bahlambe kulo.7 Wenza iziphatho zezibane zegolide zalishumi ngokwesiko lazo, wazimisa etempileni: zazihlanu ngasekunene, zazihlanu ngasekhohlo.8 Wenza iitafile ezilishumi, wazimisa etempileni: zantlanu ngasekunene, zantlanu ngasekhohlo. Wenza ikhulu lezitya zokutshiza zegolide.9 Wenza intendelezo yababingeleli, nentendelezo enkulu, neengcango zentendelezo; wazaleka iingcango zazo ngobhedu.10 Walubeka ulwandle ngecala lasekunene layo indlu, lwabheka ngasezantsi.

11 UHuram wenza iimbiza, nemihlakulwana, nezitya zokutshiza. UHuram wagqiba ukuwenza umsebenzi, abewenzela ukumkani uSolomon endlwini kaThixo:12 iintsika zombini, neembumba, neengqukuva ezibe zisemantloko eentsika zombini, neminatha yomibini yokuzunguleza iimbumba zombini zeengqukuva, ezibe zisemantloko eentsika;13 neerharnate ezimakhulu mane zeminatha yomibini; yamibini imikrozo yeerharnate mnatheni mnye, yokuzunguleza iimbumba ezimbini zeengqukuva, ezibe zisezintsikeni zombini.14 Wenza iinqwelwana; wenza nezitya zokuhlambela ezinqwelwaneni.15 Ulwandle lwalunye, lwaneenkomo ezilishumi elinambini ngaphantsi kwalo.16 Neembiza, nemihlakulwana, neefolokhwe, ezo mpahla ke zonke inkunkqele uHuram wazenzela uSolomon, zizezendlu kaYehova, ngobhedu olukhazimlisiweyo.17 Ukumkani wazityhidela kummandla waseYordan emhlabeni oludongwe, phakathi kweSukoti neTseredata.18 Wazenza uSolomon zonke ezo mpahla, zaninzi kakhulu; bada ubunzima bobhedu olo ababa nakufunyanwa.19 Wazenza uSolomon zonke iimpahla zendlu kaThixo, nesibingelelo segolide, neetafile ebe zinezonka zokubonisa,20 neziphatho ezinezibane zazo, ngegolide ethe shinyi, ukuze zivuthe ngokwesiko phambi kwendawo yezihlabo;21 neentyantyambo, nezibane, nezifinyiso zegolide, yona iyigolide eyonke;22 nezitshetshe, nezitya zokutshiza, neenkamba, neengcedevu zegolide ethe shinyi. Umnyango ke wendlu, iingcango zawo ezingaphakathi zengcwele kangcwele, neengcango zendlu yetempile, zaba zezegolide.
