2 Weche Mag Ndalo 3
1 Bangʼe Solomon nochako gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye Jerusalem e got Moria kama Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Daudi wuon mare. Ne en e kar dino cham mar Arauna ja-Jebus kama Daudi nochiwo.
Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
2 Nochako gedo odiechiengʼ mar ariyo e dwe mar ariyo e higa mar angʼwen mar lochne.
They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
3 Mise mar gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mane Solomon oketo ne en kama: borne ne romo fut piero aboro gaboro gi nus, lachne ne romo fut piero ariyo gochiko gi nus kaluwore gi rapim machon.
The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
4 Bor mar agola mane ni e nyim hekalu ne romo fut piero ariyo gochiko gi nus maromre gi lach mar hekalu kendo borne modhi malo ne romo fut piero ariyo gochiko gi nus. Nobawo iye gi dhahabu maler.
The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
5 Nochwado i hekalu kod yiend saipras kendo ne omuone kod dhahabu maler moketogi gi othidhe kod thiwni.
Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
6 Nolicho hekalu gi kite ma nengogi tek, kendo notiyo kod dhahabu mogol Parvaim.
They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
7 Nobawo hekalu gi dhahabu koda ka sirni, gi Sirni mag dhoudi gi yiend tado, kor udi gi dhoudi, kendo nogoro malaika mar kerubi e kor udi.
They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
8 Ne ogero Kama Ler Moloyo kendo borne ne romo gi lach hekalu, borne gi lachne ne en fut piero ariyo gochiko gi nus. Ne omuono iye gi dhahabu maler ma pekne romo kilo alufu piero ariyo.
They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
9 Pek dhahabu mar musmal mane otiyogo ne romo nus kilo. Nobawo udi mamalo bende gi dhahabu.
They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
10 E Kama Ler Moloyo nopayo kerubi ariyo kendo obawogi kod dhahabu.
Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
11 Bor mar bwomb kerubi ne en mita ochiko. Bwomb kerubi achiel ne romo fut aboro kendo nomulo kor hekalu to eka bwombe machielo ma borne bende ne fut aboro nomulo bwomb kerubi machielo.
[Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
12 Machalre bende, bwomb kerubi achiel machielo borne ne romo fut aboro kendo nomulo bath hekalu komachielo, to bwombe machielo ma bende borne ne romo fut aboro nomulo bwomb kerubi mokwongo.
13 Bwomb kerubigo noyarore maromo fut piero ariyo gochiko gi nus. Kerubigo nochungʼ ka ngʼiyo dir ot maduongʼ.
It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
14 Noloso pasia mar nanga marambulu, gi maralik, gi makwar kod law mayom motwangʼe kido mar kerubi.
Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
15 E nyim hekalu noloso sirni ariyo ma borgi ne romo fut piero abich gariyo gi nus koriw kendo noum wi moro ka moro gi gima borne romo fut aboro.
They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
16 Noloso thiwni kendo oketogi ewi sirnigo. Bende noloso gik mongʼinore ongʼinore mia achiel mag mula kendo nolierogi e thiwnigo.
The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
17 Nochungo sirnigo e nyim hekalu koketo achiel yo milambo to machielo yo nyandwat. Mane oketo yo milambo noluongo ni Jakin to manoketo nyandwat noluongo ni Boaz.
They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
