1 Kings 6
1 480 years after the Israeli people left Egypt, during the fourth year that Solomon ruled Israel, early in May, Solomon’s workers began to build the temple.
E higa mar mia angʼwen gi piero aboro bangʼ ka jo-Israel osewuok Misri, e higa mar angʼwen mar loch Solomon kuom Israel e dwe mar Ziv, dwe mar ariyo nochako gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
2 Inside, [the main part of] the temple was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
Hekalu mane ruoth Solomon ogero ni Jehova Nyasaye borne noromo fut piero aboro gochiko kendo lachne ne romo fut piero adek to borne madhi malo ne romo fut piero angʼwen gangʼwen.
3 The entrance room was 15 feet long and 30 feet wide, just as wide as the main part of the temple.
Bor mar agola mane nitie e nyim hekalu noywayo lach hekalu, moromo fut piero adek kendo notingʼore malo maromo fut apar gabich.
4 There were windows in [the walls of] the temple. The windows were narrower on the outside than on the inside.
Noloso ni hekaluno dirise mogaji modiyore matindo.
5 Against the two sides and against the back of the temple walls, they built a structure/building that had rooms in it. [This structure had three levels/stories and each was 7-1/2 feet high].
Bende nogero udi moko momakore gi kor kama ler mar lemo gi oko. Udigo nolworo kama ler mar lemo.
6 [Each room in] the lowest level/story was 7-1/2 feet wide. [Each room in] the middle level/story was nine feet wide. [The rooms in] the top level/story were 10-1/2 feet wide. The wall of the temple at the top level/story was thinner than the wall at the middle level/story, and the wall of the middle level/story was thinner than the wall at the bottom level/story. The result was that the rooms could be supported by the wall underneath them, and did not require wooden beams to support them.
Dier ot mapiny lachne ne en fut apar, dier ot madiere ne en fut aboro, to dier ot mar adek lachne ne en fut apar. Kendo ne giweyo thuolo e kind kor ot ma oko mondo kik yien moriw pow kor ot.
7 The huge stones for [the foundation of] the temple were cut and shaped at the quarry [to become very smooth]. The result was that while the workers were building the temple there was no noise, because they did not use hammers or chisels or any other iron tools there.
Noger hekalu gi kite mopa mana kuma okuny but kendo kata ywak nyundo kata mar le kata mar gir tich moro amora ne ok owinji e kar gedo mar hekalu.
8 The entrance to the bottom level/story [of that attached structure] was on the south side of the temple. There were stairs from the bottom level/story to the middle and top level/story.
Dhoot midonjogo e ot mapiny ne nitie yo milambo mar hekalu to raidhi nochopo e ot madiere nyaka gorofa mar adek.
9 So Solomon’s [workers] finished building the [framework of the] temple. They made the ceiling from cedar beams and boards.
Omiyo nogero hekalu motieko koume gi yiende kod bepe Sida.
10 They built the structure that had three levels/stories, that was against the walls of the temple. Each level/story was 7-1/2 feet high, and was joined to the temple with cedar beams.
Kendo nogero udi molworo hekalu duto. Bor moro ka moro ne nyalo romo fut aboro bende ne gichomore gi hekalu gi bepe mag yiend sida.
11 Then Yahweh said this to Solomon:
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Solomon kowacho niya,
12 “[I want to tell you] about this temple that you are building. If you continually obey all my statutes and laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised to your father David.
“Kaluwore gi hekaluni migero, kiluwo puonjna kendo itimo weche mamiyi kendo kirito chikena, to abiro chopo singo mane amiyo Daudi wuonu.
13 I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
Kendo abiro dak e kind jo-Israel bende ok anajwangʼ joga Israel.”
14 Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
Omiyo Solomon nogero hekalu motieke.
15 On the inside, they lined/covered the walls with cedar boards. They lined/covered them from the floor to the ceiling. They made the floor from cypress boards.
Nochwado kor ot yo ka iye gi bepe sida chakre tiend ot nyaka yiend tado, bende noloso dier ot gi yiend bap Saipras.
16 Inside the back part of the temple they built an inner room, called the Very Holy Place. It was 30 feet long. All the walls of this room were lined with cedar boards.
Nongʼado iye gi bap sida ka bor mopog gigo romo fut piero adek kochomo yo ka tok hekalu chakre tiend ot nyaka wi tado mondo olos kama ler mar lemo maiye miluongo ni Kama Ler Moloyo.
17 In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.
Ot maduongʼ mane nitie e nyim ot matin-no ne romo fut piero abich gochiko e borne.
18 The cedar [boards on the walls] inside the temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. [The walls were] completely covered with cedar boards, with the result that the stones [of the walls behind them] could not be seen.
Ei hekaluno noketie bap sida mopa ka budho kod thiepene. Gik moko duto nolos gi yiend sida ma kata mana kidi ne ok nyal ne.
19 At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.
Noloso kama ler mar lemo ei hekalu mondo oketie Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.
20 That room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. They covered the walls with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. [For burning incense] they also made an altar of cedar [boards].
Bor mar kama ler mar lemo ne romo fut piero adek to lachne ne romo fut piero adek kendo borne madhi malo ne romo fut piero adek. Ne obawo ot maiye gi dhahabu lilo, bende noloso kendo mar misango gi bap sida.
21 Solomon told them to cover the other walls inside the temple with [very thin sheets of] pure gold and to fasten gold chains across the entrance to the Very Holy Place.
Solomon nobawo ii hekalu gi dhahabu lilo kendo nomedo thiwni mag dhahabu e nyim kama ler mar lemo.
22 They covered all the walls of the temple and the altar that was outside the Very Holy Place with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Kamano nobawo yo ka ii ot duto gi dhahabu, bende nobawo kendo mar misango mar kama ler mar lemo gi dhahabu.
23 Inside the Very Holy Place, they made from olive tree wood [large statues of] two creatures with wings. Each one was 15 feet tall.
Ei kama ler mar lemo noloso malaika mar kerubi ariyo gi bap Zeituni ka moro ka moro borne madhi malo romo fut apar gabich.
24 They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings [which were spread out]. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.
Bwomb kerubi achiel mokwongo ne romo fut aboro kendo bwombe machielo ne romo fut aboro kamano bende bwombene duto ne romo fut apar gauchiel.
Kerubi mar ariyo bende bwombene ne romo fut apar gauchiel, nimar kerubi ariyogi ne chalre e romgi kendo losogi.
Bor kerubi ka kerubi madhi malo ne romo fut apar gauchiel.
27 They put those statues next to each other in the Very Holy Place so that the wing of the one touched the one wing of the other in the center of the room, and the outer wings touched the walls.
Noketo kerubigo ei ot matin mar hekalu maiye ka bwombegi oyarore. Bwomb kerubi achiel nomulo kor ot konchiel, ka bwombe machielo nemulo kor ot komachielo, kendo bwombegi nemulore e chuny ot.
28 They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Nobawo kerubigo gi dhahabu.
29 [Solomon told them to] decorate the walls of the main room and the Very Holy Place by carving representations of winged creatures and palm trees and flowers.
E kor ot molworo hekalu, e udi ma iye gi udi ma oko, nopayoe kido mar kerubi, gi mag yiend othidhe kod thiepe maupe.
30 They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Bende nobawo dier udi maiye gi ma oko gi dhahabu.
31 They made a set of doors from olive tree wood, and placed them at the entrance to the Very Holy Place. The doorposts joined at the top to form a pointed arch.
To dhoot midonjogo ei kama ler mar lemo noloso gi yiend zeituni ma lachne dirom fut auchiel.
32 The doors were decorated by carving on them representations of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. All of these things were covered with [very thin sheets of] gold.
E dhoudi ariyogo mag yiend zeituni nopayoe kerubi, gi yiend othidhe kod thiepe maupe, kendo nobawo kerubi kod yiend othidhego gi dhahabu moleny.
33 They made a rectangular door frame from olive tree wood, and put it [between the entrance room and] the main room.
Kamano bende noloso thike angʼwen mag yiend zeituni molosogo dhoot mar ot maduongʼ.
34 They made two folding doors from cypress wood [and fastened them to the door frame].
Bende noloso dhoudi ariyo gi yiend saipras kamoro ka moro nigi pata ariyo.
35 The doors were also decorated with wood carvings of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, and they were also covered evenly with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Nopayo kerubi gi yiend othith kod maupe moyarore kuomgi mobawogi gi dhahabu mothedhi maromre duto.
36 They built a courtyard in front of the temple. The walls around the courtyard were made of cedar and stone; to make the walls, between each layer of cedar beams they put down two layers of stone.
Kendo nogero laru maiye gi kite mopa molwore nyadidek kaachiel gi laini achiel mar bap yiend sida.
37 They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
Mise mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye noketi e higa mar angʼwen e dwe mar Zif.
38 In the eleventh year [that he ruled], in the middle of October, they finished building the temple and all of its parts, doing exactly what Solomon told them to do. It required seven years to build it.
E higa mar apar gachiel e dwe mar Bul, dwe mar aboro hekalu notieki chutho kaka nochan ni onego gere. Notieko higni abiriyo kigere.
