1 Kings 6
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.
Mu mwaka ogw’ebina mu kinaana, abaana ba Isirayiri kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri, mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Sulemaani, mu mwezi ogwokubiri ogwa Zivu, Sulemaani n’atandika okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama.
2 The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.
Eyeekaalu kabaka Sulemaani gye yazimbira Mukama yali obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu musanvu, n’obugazi mita mwenda, n’obuwanvu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
3 The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide in front of the house.
Awayingirirwa mu maaso g’ekisenge ekinene ekya yeekaalu, waali mita mwenda, ng’obugazi bwa yeekaalu bwe bwali, ate ng’obugazi bwakyo mu maaso kiri mita nnya n’ekitundu okuva mu maaso ga yeekaalu.
4 And for the house he made windows, with network across.
N’akola amadirisa amafunda mu kisenge kya yeekaalu.
5 And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:
Wakati w’ebisenge eby’ekisenge ekinene, n’ekifo aw’okwogerera, n’azimba obusenge obw’okubbalibbali okwetooloola wo.
6 The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.
Ekisenge ekya wansi kyali mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu obugazi, n’ekisenge eky’essa erya wakati kyali mita bbiri ne desimoolo musanvu, n’ekisenge eky’essa eryokusatu kyali mita ssatu ne desimoolo bbiri. N’asalako emiti okwetooloola eyeekaalu gireme okukomererwa mu bisenge bya yeekaalu.
7 (And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)
Bwe baali nga bazimba yeekaalu, baakozesanga amayinja agaali galongosereddwa gye bagatemeranga, era tewaawulirwa kuvuga okw’engeri yonna okw’ennyondo newaakubadde embazzi wadde ekyuma eky’engeri yonna mu kifo awaali wazimbirwa yeekaalu.
8 The door to the lowest side rooms was in the right side of the house; and they went up by twisting steps into the middle rooms, and from the middle into the third.
Omulyango ogw’ekisenge ekya wakati gwali ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu; waabangawo amadaala agaakozesebwanga okugenda mu kisenge ekya wakati, n’okweyongerayo mu kisenge ekyokusatu ekya waggulu.
9 So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.
Awo n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala, n’agisereka n’emiti n’embaawo ez’emivule.
10 And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.
N’azimba n’ebisenge ebitono okwetooloola yeekaalu, n’obugulumivu bwa buli kimu bwali mita emu n’ekitundu, nga byesigamizibbwa ku kisenge kya yeekaalu n’emiti gy’emivule.
11 (And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Sulemaani nti,
12 About this house which you are building: if you will keep my laws and give effect to my decisions and be guided by my rules, I will give effect to my word which I gave to David your father.
“Bino bye bikwata ku yeekaalu eno gy’ozimba; bw’onootambuliranga mu mateeka gange, n’ogondera ebiragiro byange, n’okwatanga n’amateeka gange gonna ng’ogatambuliramu, kale ndituukiriza ekigambo kye nayogera eri Dawudi kitaawo.
13 And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.
Era nnaabeeranga wamu n’abaana ba Isirayiri, so siryabuulira bantu bange Isirayiri.”
14 So Solomon made the building of the house complete.)
Sulemaani n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala.
15 The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.
Ku bisenge eby’omunda n’assaako embaawo ez’emivule n’azikomelera okuva wansi wa yeekaalu okutuukira ddala ku kasolya, era ne wansi wa yeekaalu n’ayaliirirawo embaawo ez’emiberosi.
16 And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.
N’ayawuzaamu emabega wa yeekaalu, n’akolawo ekifo mu yeekaalu ekyenkana mita mwenda, nga ky’ekisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera, eky’awatukuvu ennyo, ng’akozesa embaawo ez’emivule okuva wansi okutuuka ku kasolya.
17 And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.
Ekisenge ekinene ddala ekyali mu maaso g’ekisenge, awaayimirirwanga okwogera waali obuwanvu mita kkumi na munaana.
18 (All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)
Ne munda wa yeekaalu mwali mwaliriddwamu emivule egyayolebwako entaabwa n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse. Byonna byali bya mivule; tewaali jjinja eryalabika.
19 And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.
N’ateekateeka ekisenge eky’omunda ddala okumpi n’awaayimirirwanga okwogera mu yeekaalu, okuteekamu essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
20 And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.
Era munda awaayimirirwanga okwogera mwalimu ebbanga erya mita mwenda obuwanvu, ne mita mwenda obugazi, ne mita mwenda obugulumivu. Munda mwonna n’asiigamu zaabu ennongoose, era n’akola n’ekyoto n’akisabika n’emivule.
21 Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.
Sulemaani n’asabika munda wa yeekaalu ne zaabu ennongoose, n’ayongerako n’enjegere eza zaabu mu maaso g’omu kisenge eky’omunda ekyali kibikiddwako zaabu.
22 Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).
Munda wa yeekaalu mwonna, n’assaamu zaabu, ne ku kyoto eky’omu kisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera n’asiigako zaabu.
23 In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;
Mu kisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera n’akolawo bakerubi babiri ab’emiti egy’emizeeyituuni, buli kerubi obugulumivu bwe mita nnya n’ekitundu.
24 With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.
Obuwanvu bw’ekiwaawaatiro ekimu ekya kerubi omu bwali mita bbiri n’obutundu busatu, n’ekiwaawaatiro ekyokubiri mita bbiri n’obutundu busatu, ze mita nnya n’ekitundu okuva ku luuyi olumu olw’ekiwaawaatiro ekimu okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ekiwaawaatiro ekyokubiri.
25 The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.
Kerubi owookubiri naye yali mita nnya n’ekitundu, era bakerubi bombi baali ekigero kye kimu n’endabika yaabwe nga y’emu.
26 The two of them were ten cubits high.
Obugulumivu bwa buli kerubi bwali mita nnya n’ekitundu.
27 These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.
N’ateeka bakerubi mu kisenge eky’omunda ddala mu yeekaalu, ng’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe byanjuluzibbwa. Ekiwaawaatiro ekya kerubi omu ne kikwata ku kisenge eruuyi, n’ekiwaawaatiro ekya kerubi omulala ne kikwata ku kisenge ekirala eruuyi, ebiwaawaatiro byabwe ne bikwatagana wakati wa yeekaalu.
28 These winged ones were plated over with gold.
Bakerubi n’abasiigako zaabu.
29 And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.
Ku bisenge byonna ebya yeekaalu okwetooloola, mu bisenge eby’omunda, ne mu bisenge eby’ebweru, n’akola ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu, n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse.
30 And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.
Ne wansi mu bisenge eby’omunda n’eby’ebweru ebya yeekaalu n’assaamu zaabu.
31 For the way into the inmost room he made doors of olive-wood, the arch and the door supports forming a five-sided opening.
Awayingirirwa mu kifo awaayimirirwanga okwogera, waali wawaniriddwa emifuubeeto n’empagi ez’enzigi, omulyango nga gwa nsonda ttaano.
32 On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.
Ku nzigi zombi ez’emiti egy’emizeeyituuni n’akubako ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu, n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse, bakerubi n’enkindu n’abisiiga zaabu.
33 Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:
Mu ngeri y’emu n’akola omulyango oguyingira mu kisenge ekinene ddala, n’ateekawo emifuubeeto egy’emizeeyituuni, omulyango nga gwa nsonda nnya.
34 And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.
N’akola n’enzigi bbiri za miberosi, buli luggi nga lulina embaawo bbiri ezakyukiranga mu myango.
35 These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.
Ku zo n’ayolako ebifaananyi ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse, n’abisiiga zaabu ensanuuse.
36 And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.
N’azimba oluggya olw’omunda n’embu ssatu ez’amayinja amateme obulungi, n’olubu olw’emiti egy’emivule.
37 In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, in the month Ziv.
Awo mu mwaka ogwokuna, mu mwezi Zivu omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama ne gumalirizibwa.
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu mu mwezi Buli, gwe mwezi ogw’omunaana, ebitundu byonna ebya yeekaalu ne bimalirizibwa ng’ebigero byabyo bwe byali. Yamala emyaka musanvu ng’agizimba.
