1 Kings 7
1 They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
Salomo atongaki lisusu ndako na ye ya bokonzi; asalaki mibu zomi na misato mpo na kosilisa kotonga yango.
2 One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
Atongaki mpe ndako oyo bazalaki kobenga « Ndako ya Zamba ya Libani. » Ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi, bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na mokuse mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na bosanda. Ezalaki na milongo minei ya makonzi ya banzete ya sedele; mpe na likolo ya makonzi yango, ezalaki na mabaya minene ya sedele mpo na kosimba motondo.
3 [To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
Bongo, na likolo ya mabaya ya sedele yango oyo esimbaki motondo, ezalaki na milongo misato ya mabaya mosusu ya sedele na likolo ya makonzi: molongo moko na moko ezalaki na mabaya ya sedele zomi na mitano. Na kosangisa, mabaya yango ezalaki tuku minei na mitano.
4 On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
Maninisa na yango ezalaki na mipanzi nyonso ya ndako mpe ezalaki etalana yango na yango, na ba-etaje nyonso misato.
5 All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
Bikuke na yango nyonso ezalaki ndenge moko na molayi mpe na mokuse, mpe ezalaki etalana na ba-etaje nyonso misato.
6 They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
Salomo atongaki lisusu na makonzi, ndako moke ya kokotela ya bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na mokuse, mpe ezalaki na motondo likolo ya makonzi.
7 Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
Atongaki lisusu ndako ya kiti ya bokonzi epai wapi azalaki kosambisa bato. Alatisaki yango mabaya ya sedele, kobanda na se kino na likolo.
8 In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
Ndako na ye ya kovanda ezalaki kati na lopango mosusu, na sima ya ndako moke ya kokotela; mpe batongaki yango ndenge moko kaka na ndako ya kiti ya bokonzi. Salomo abalaki mwana mwasi ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe atongiselaki ye ndako oyo ekokana na ndako ya kiti ya bokonzi.
9 All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
Batongaki bandako oyo nyonso na mabanga bakata kitoko mpe babongisa na si na bangambo nyonso mibale. Basalelaki yango kobanda na miboko kino na mitondo, mpe na libanda, mpo na bamir ya lopango ya monene.
10 The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
Basalelaki mabanga minene ya talo mpo na kotonga miboko oyo ezalaki na molayi ya bametele pene minei to mitano.
11 On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
Na likolo ya miboko yango, batiaki mabanga oyo bakata mpe mabaya minene ya sedele mpo na kosimba motondo.
12 The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
Salomo azingelaki lopango monene na mir ya milongo misato ya mabanga bakata mpe na molongo moko ya mabaya minene ya sedele, ndenge ezalaki mpo na lopango ya kati ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe mpo na ndako moke ya kokotela.
13 There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
Mokonzi Salomo atindaki bato na mboka Tiri kobenga mosali moko na kombo Irami
oyo tata na ye azalaki moto ya Tiri; mpe mama na ye, moto ya libota ya Nefitali, azalaki mwasi akufisa mobali. Irami ayebaki kosalela bronze. Bongo lokola azalaki na bwanya, mayele mpe boyebi mingi, azalaki kosala lolenge nyonso ya biloko ya bronze. Boye, ayaki epai ya mokonzi Salomo mpe asalelaki ye misala nyonso oyo asengaki ye.
15 He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
Irami asalaki makonzi nyonso mibale ya bronze: likonzi moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene libwa na molayi, mpe bametele pene motoba na monene.
16 He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
Asalaki lisusu na bronze banyangwisa na moto mito ya makonzi mpo na kotia yango na songe: moto moko na moko ya likonzi ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na bosanda.
17 Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
Batiaki na mito ya makonzi yango bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama mpe ya basinga elingama-lingama lokola basheni. Na moto ya likonzi moko na moko, ezalaki na bililingi sambo.
18 He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
Irami atiaki milongo mibale ya bililingi ya bambuma ya grenade zingazinga ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama mpo na kokomisa mito ya makonzi yango kitoko.
19 The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
Mito ya makonzi ya ndako moke ya kokotela ezalaki ya bametele pene mibale na bosanda, mpe batiaki na likolo na yango bililingi ya fololo ya lisi.
20 These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
Bazingelaki moto ya likonzi moko na moko na bililingi ya bambuma ya grenade nkama mibale oyo ezalaki likolo ya bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola ya monyama.
21 His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
Irami atongaki makonzi nyonso mibale liboso ya ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo; abengaki likonzi oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali Yakini, mpe oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, Boazi.
22 The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
Likolo ya likonzi moko na moko, atiaki bililingi ya fololo ya lisi. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde asilisaki mosala ya kotelemisa makonzi.
23 Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
Irami asalaki nzungu ya monene ya bronze oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya libungutulu: monene na yango ezalaki na bametele pene mitano, mpe bosanda na yango, bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano; mpe zingazinga na yango, bametele pene zomi na mitano.
24 Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
Na se ya monoko ya nzungu yango ya monene, na pembeni na yango nyonso, ezalaki na milongo mibale ya bililingi ya bakolokente oyo banyangwisaki mpe babambaki na nzungu ya monene mpo ete esala eloko kaka moko; ezalaki bililingi zomi mpo na molayi ya kati-kati ya metele moko.
25 Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
Nzungu yango evandisamaki na likolo ya bikeko ya bangombe zomi na mibale: misato etalaki na ngambo ya nor; misato, na ngambo ya weste; misato, na ngambo ya sude, mpe misato, na ngambo ya este. Bongo sima na bangombe yango nyonso etalaki na ngambo ya kati.
26 The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
Mbinga ya nzungu yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene mwambe. Babongisaki pembeni ya monoko na yango lokola pembeni ya kopo oyo batia bililingi ya fololo ya lisi. Ezalaki kotonda na balitele ya mayi pene nkoto tuku minei.
27 Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
Irami asalaki lisusu bivandelo zomi ya bronze: evandelo moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na molayi, bametele pene mibale na mokuse, metele moko na basantimetele tuku mitano na bosanda.
28 [On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
Tala ndenge basalaki bivandelo yango: bakangisaki bitando ya bronze mpe balekisaki bibende mosusu ya bronze mpo na kosimba yango.
29 On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
Irami asalaki bililingi ya nkosi, ya bangombe mpe ya basheribe, mpe abambaki yango likolo ya bitando mpe likolo ya bibende mosusu ya bronze. Ezalaki na bililingi ya singa ya bafololo na se mpe na likolo ya bangombe mpe ya bankosi.
30 Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
Shario moko na moko ezalaki na bapine minei ya bronze mpe na bibende ya bronze mpo na kosimba bapine.
31 On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
Na likolo ya evandelo moko na moko, ezalaki na lidusu evimba, na lolenge ya libungutulu; bongo eteni na yango oyo ezalaki ya kovimba ezalaki na basantimetele pene tuku mitano na bosanda mpe basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano na monene; mpe nzungu ya monene evandaki na lidusu yango. Irami abambaki bililingi na lidusu yango. Molayi mpe mokuse ya evandelo yango ezalaki ndenge moko, ezalaki na lolenge ya libungutulu te.
32 The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Bapine nyonso minei ezalaki na se ya evandelo, mpe bakangisaki bibende oyo esimbaki bapine yango na mipanzi. Pine moko na moko ezalaki na basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano na monene.
33 The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
Basalaki bapine yango lokola bapine ya shareti: bibende oyo esimbaki bapine, bajante, mabende ya mike oyo ezalaka na kati ya pine mpe oyo esungaka pine mpo na kobaluka, nyonso ezalaki ya bronze banyangwisa na moto.
34 At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Mabende nyonso minei oyo ezalaki lokola makolo ezalaki na basonge nyonso minei mpe ekanganaki na evandelo.
35 There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Na likolo ya evandelo moko na moko, ezalaki na elilingi ya motole ya basantimetele pene tuku mibale na mitano na monene; mpe elilingi yango ezalaki zingazinga ya lidusu, na eteni oyo ezalaki ya kovimba. Na likolo ya evandelo, bibende oyo balekisaki na bangambo ekanganaki na evandelo mpo na kolendisa evandelo yango.
36 The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
Na likolo ya bibende yango, babambaki bililingi ya basheribe, ya bankosi mpe ya mandalala; mpe bazingelaki yango na bililingi ya basinga elingama-lingama lokola basheni.
37 That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
Asalaki ndenge moko mpo na bivandelo nyonso zomi: asalaki nyonso na bronze banyangwisa na moto, mpe ezalaki lolenge moko.
38 Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
Irami asalaki lisusu basani zomi ya minene ya bronze; moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na monene mpe ezalaki likolo ya evandelo moko kati na bivandelo zomi. Mpe bakokaki kotia balitele pene nkoto moko kati sani moko na moko.
39 Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
Atiaki bivandelo mitano elongo na basani na yango na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Tempelo, mpe mitano mosusu na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. Nzungu ya monene ya bronze etiamaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Tempelo, pene na songe ya sude-este.
40 Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
Irami asalaki basani ya kotia putulu, bapawu mpe bakopo mpo na kosopela makila. Irami asilisaki mosala nyonso oyo mokonzi Salomo atindaki ye kosala mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe:
41 the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
makonzi mibale, mito mibale ya libungutulu na suka ya makonzi nyonso mibale, bililingi mibale ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama mpo na kozipa mito nyonso mibale ya makonzi yango,
42 the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
bililingi ya bambuma nkama minei ya grenade ekangana na maboke ya bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama: milongo mibale ya bililingi ya grenade mpo na elilingi moko na moko ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama, mpo na kozipa mito nyonso mibale ya makonzi;
43 the ten carts; the ten basins;
bivandelo zomi mpe basani zomi ya minene oyo batiaki na likolo ya bivandelo,
44 the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
nzungu ya monene ya libungutulu, bikeko ya bangombe zomi na mibale oyo ezalaki komema nzungu ya monene,
45 the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
basani mpo na kotia putulu, bapawu mpe bakopo mpo na kosopela makila. Irami asalelaki mokonzi Salomo biloko oyo nyonso mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe; asalaki yango na bronze oyo bapetola na moto.
46 They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
Mokonzi asengaki ete banyangwisa yango kati na mabele, na etando ya Yordani, kati na Sukoti mpe Tsaritani.
47 Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
Bongo Salomo atiaki biloko oyo nyonso kati na Tempelo ya Yawe; kasi mpo ete elekaki ebele, bakokaki te koyeba kilo ya bronze oyo basalelaki.
48 Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
Salomo asalaki lisusu na wolo biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: etumbelo; mesa oyo, na likolo na yango, bazalaki kotia mapa liboso ya Yawe;
49 the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
bitelemiselo ya minda elongo na minda na yango, oyo basala na wolo ya peto, mitano na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, mpe mitano na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, bafololo na yango mpe biloko ya wolo ya kozwela makala na moto,
50 the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
basani ya minene, bambeli, bakopo mpo na kosopela makila, bakeni, bambabola ya wolo ya peto, elongo na bikangelo ya wolo mpo na bikuke ya kati ya Tempelo, Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, mpe mpo na bikuke ya esika oyo bato nyonso bavandaka, na ekotelo ya Tempelo.
51 So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
Tango Salomo asilisaki misala nyonso ya kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, amemaki biloko oyo Davidi, tata na ye, abulisaki: palata, wolo mpe bisalelo; atiaki yango kati na bibombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
