1 Mambo Ya Nyakati 29:2

Kwa uwezo wangu wote nimetenga mali kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Mungu wangu: dhahabu kwa kazi za dhahabu, fedha kwa ajili ya fedha, shaba kwa kazi za shaba, chuma kwa kazi za chuma na miti kwa kazi za miti, vivyo hivyo vito vya shohamu kwa ajili ya kutia kwenye vijalizo, almasi, mawe ya rangi mbalimbali, aina zote za vito vya thamani na marmar; yote haya kwa wingi mno.

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
