10 Pakhana bzipinda bzitatu bza alindiri m’mbali iri-yentse ya cipata ca kumabvadzuwa. Bzipinda bzentse bzitatu bzikhadandendemerana ndipo pilare za m’mbali zomwe zikhali m’mbali iri-yentse zikhadandendemeranambo.
11 Patsogolo pace iye adapima khwankhwa la pakupitira pa msuwo ndipo likhali la makovado 10, ndipo kutalimpha kwa msuwoyo kukhali kwa makovado 13.
12 Mbuto yomwe ikhadazunguliridwa na muro, yomwe ikhali kutsogolo kwa bzipinda bza alindiri bzomwe bzikhali kumbali ziwiri, ikhali ya kovado ibodzi. Bzipinda bza alindiri bzomwe bzikhali kumbali ziwiri, bzikhali bza makovado 6.
13 Patsogolo pace iye adapima cipata, kuyambira pa ntsodzi ya cipinda ca alindiri mpaka pa ntsodzi* ya cipinda cinango, ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado 25. Msuwo wa cipinda cibodzi ukhali kutsogolo kwa msuwo wa cipinda cinango.
14 Iye adapima mapilare ya m’mbali ndipo yakhadatalimpha makovado 60, ndipo adapimambo mapilare ya m’mbali ya bzipata bza m’mphepete mwa kintale.
15 Kucokera kutsogolo kwa msuwo wa cipata mpaka kutsogolo kwa khonde pambali ya msuwo wakupitira mkati, yakhali makovado 50.
16 Mkati mwa cipata, m’bzipinda bza alindiri na mapilare yace ya m’mbali, mbali zentse ziwiri zikhana majanera yomwe mkati mwace yakhali makulu ndipo yakhayenda yacicepa. Mkati mwa khonde mukhana majanera m’mbali ziwiri ndipo m’mapilare ya m’mbali mukhana bzithunzi-thunzi bza miti ya kanjedza.
17 Patsogolo pace, iye adanditenga acindiyendesa ku mbuto yakunja ndipo ndidawona bzipinda bzakudyera ndipo pantsi pentse pa mbuto yakunjayo pakhadakonzedwa na minyala. Pa mbuto yakunjapo pakhana bzipinda bzakudyera bzakukwana 30.
18 Pantsi pomwe pakhana minyalapo pakhali kumbali kwa bzipata ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali lakundendemerana na kutalimpha kwa bzipatabzo. Imweyi ikhali mbuto ing’ono yomwe ikhadalongedzedwa minyala.
19 Patsogolo pace iye adapima mtantho kucokera ku cipata cing’ono mpaka kumayambiriro kwa kintale ya mkati, ndipo ukhali wa makovado 100 kumbali ya kumabvadzuwa na kumbali ya ku norte.
20 Kintale yakunja ikhana cipata cakupitira ku norte ndipo iye adapima kutalimpha kwace na khwankhwa lace.
21 Mbali iri-yentse ikhana bzipinda bzitatu bza alindiri. Mapilare ya m’mbali na khonde lace bzikhali bzakundendemerana na cipata cakuyamba. Cipataco cikhadatalimpha makovado 50 ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado 25.
22 Majanera yace, khonde lace na bzithunzi-thunzi bzace bza miti ya kanjedza bzikhali bzakundendemerana na cipata ca kumabvadzuwa. Kuti munthu apite m’mwemo akhafunika kukwira ntsikada zakukwana 7, ndipo khonde lace likhali kutsogolo kwa ntsikadazo.
23 Mu kintale ya mkati, mukhana cipata comwe cikhali kutsogolo kwa cipata ca ku norte na cinango comwe cikhali kutsogolo kwa cipata ca kumabvadzuwa. Iye adapima mtantho kucokera pa cipata cibodzi kufika pa cipata cinango, ndipo yakhali makovado 100.
24 Patsogolo pace, iye adanditenga aciyenda nande kumbali ya ku suli, ndipo kumweko ndidakawona cipata kumbali ya ku suli. Iye adapima mapilare yace ya m’mbali na khonde lace ndipo adawona kuti yakhali yakundendemerana na manango.
25 Mbali ziwiri za cipataco na khonde lace zikhana majanera, ndipo majanerayo yakhali yakundendemerana na manango. Cipataco cikhadatalimpha makovado 50 ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado 25.
26 Pakhana ntsikada zakukwana 7 zakupitira, ndipo khonde lace likhali kutsogolo kwa ntsikadazo. Mapilare yace ya m’mbali yakhana bzithunzi-thunzi bza miti ya kanjedza, cibodzi uku cinango uku.
27 Mbuto ya mkati ikhana cipata cakupitira kumbali ya ku suli. Iye adapima kucokera ku cipata cibodzi mpaka ku cipata cinango cakupitira kumbali ya ku suli, ndipo yakhali makovado 100.
28 Patsogolo pace iye adanditenga acindiyendesa ku mbuto ya mkati ndipo ndidapita na pa cipata ca mbali ya ku suli, acipima cipata ca ku mbali ya ku sulico ndipo adawona kuti cikhali cakundendemerana na bzinango.
29 Bzipinda bzace bza alindiri, mapilare yace ya m’mbali na khonde lace bzikhali bzakundendemerana na bzinango. Mbali ziwiri za cipata na khonde lace zikhana majanera. Cipataco cikhadatalimpha makovado 50 ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado 25.
30 Mbali zentse zikhana makhonde ndipo makhondeyo yakhadatalimpha makovado 25 ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado maxanu.
31 Khonde la cipata ca mbali ya ku suli likhadanyang’ana kumbali yakunja ndipo mapilare yace ya m’mbali yakhana bzithunzi-thunzi bza miti ya kanjedza na ntsikada 8 zomwe zikhafikisa kumweko.
32 Iye adanditenga kumabvadzuwa acindiyendesa ku mbuto ya mkati, ndipo adapima cipata, aciwona kuti cikhali cakundendemerana na bzinango.
33 Bzipinda bzace bza alindiri, mapilare yace ya m’mbali na khonde lace, bzikhali bzakundendemerana na bzinango. Mbali ziwiri za cipataco na khonde lace zikhana majanera. Cipataco cikhadatalimpha makovado 50 ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado 25.
34 Khonde lace likhanyang’ana mbali yakunja ndipo mapilare yace mawiri ya m’mbali yakhana bzithunzi-thunzi bza miti ya kanjedza na ntsikada 8 zomwe zikhafikisa kumweko.
35 Patsogolo pace iye adanditenga acindiyendesa ku cipata ca ku norte. Adacipima ndipo adawona kuti cikhali cakundendemerana na bzinango.
36 Bzipinda bzace bza alindiri, mapilare yace ya m’mbali na khonde lace bzikhali bzakundendemerana na bzinango. Ico cikhana majanera m’mbali ziwiri. Cipataco cikhadatalimpha makovado 50 ndipo khwankhwa lace likhali la makovado 25.
37 Mapilare yace ya m’mbali yakhanyang’ana mbali yakunja ndipo mapilare yace mawiri ya m‘mbali yakhana bzithunzi-thunzi bza miti ya kanjedza na ntsikada 8 zomwe zikhafikisa kumweko.
38 Pafupi na mapilare ya m’mbali mwa bzipata pakhana cipinda cakudyera comwe cikhana msuwo, ndipo m’mwemo akhatsukira ntsembe zakucita kutentha.
39 Mbali iri-yentse ya khonde la cipata,* ikhana meza ziwiri zomwe akhaphera ntsembe zakucita kutentha, ntsembe za pikado na ntsembe za kupalamula.
40 Kunja kwa msuwo komwe akhakwira kuti ayende ku cipata ca mbali ya ku norte, kukhana meza ziwiri, ndipo kumbali inango ya khonde la pacipata zikhalipombo meza ziwiri.
41 Mbali zentse za cipata zikhana meza zinai ndipo zentse pabodzi zikhalipo 8, ndipo ni meza zimwezi zomwe akhaphera ntsembe.
42 Meza zinai zakuperekera ntsembe zakucita kutentha zikhadakonzedwa na minyala yakusema. Kutalimpha kwace kukhali kwa kovado ibodzi na meya, khwankhwa lace likhali la kovado ibodzi na meya, ndipo kutalimpha kwace kucokera pantsi kuyenda kudzulu zikhali za kovado ibodzi. Pa meza zimwezi pakhakoyedwa bzombo bzomwe akhabziphatisa basa pakuphera ntsembe zakutentha na ntsembe zinango.
43 M’mbali zentse za maparede ya mkati, mukhana bzakumanikira bzinthu,* kukula kwace kukhali kwa cithatha ca boko ndipo pa mezazo pakhaikhidwa nyama zakuperekedwa ntsembe.
44 Kunja kwa cipata ca mkati, kukhana bzipinda bzomwe aimbi akhadyera. Bzipindabzo bzikhali mkati, pafupi na cipata ca ku norte comwe cikhanyang’ana ku suli. Pakhana cipinda cinango cakudyera comwe cikhali pafupi na cipata ca kumabvadzuwa, comwe cikhanyang’ana ku norte.
45 Iye adandiuza kuti: “Cipinda cakudyeraci comwe cikunyang’ana ku suli, n’ca antsembe omwe ambacita mabasa mu templo.
