2 Chronicles 3
1 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.
Alò, Salomon te kòmanse bati lakay SENYÈ a Jérusalem sou Mòn Moriah, kote SENYÈ a te parèt a papa li a, David, nan plas ke David te prepare sou glasi vannen ki te pou Ornan, Jebizyen an.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Li te kòmanse bati nan dezyèm jou, nan dezyèm mwa nan katriyèm ane règn pa li a.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Alò, sila yo se fondasyon ke Salomon te poze pou konstriksyon kay Bondye a. Longè a an koude, selon mezi ansyen an te swasant koude e lajè a te ven koude.
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
Galri ki te devan kay la te menm longè avèk lajè kay la, ven koude e wotè a san-ven. Pa anndan li te kouvri kay la avèk yon kouch lò pi.
5 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.
Li te kouvri gran chanm nan avèk bwa sipre. Li te fè kouvri li ak lò fen e te dekore li avèk pye palmis avèk chenn.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
Anplis, li te dekore kay la avèk pyè presye. Lò a te lò sòti Parvaïm.
7 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.
Anplis, li te kouvri kay la avèk yon kouch lò—travès yo, chanbrann yo, mi li yo, avèk pòtay li yo, epi li te grave cheriben yo sou mi yo.
8 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.
Alò, li te fè chanm ki pi sen pase tout lòt yo. Longè li ki te travèse lajè kay la, te ven koude, e lajè li te ven koude. Li te kouvri li avèk lò fen, ki te rive jis nan sis-san talan lò.
9 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.
Pwa a klou yo te senkant sik an lò. Anplis, li te kouvri chanm anlè yo avèk lò.
10 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.
Li te fè de cheriben skilpte nan chanm ki sen pase tout lòt yo a e li te kouvri yo avèk lò.
11 [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.
Distans zèl ouvri pou de cheriben yo te ven koude. Zèl a youn te fè senk koude pou touche mi kay la e lòt zèl la senk koude te touche pwent zèl a lòt cheriben an.
Zèl a lòt cheriben an, a senk koude, te touche mi kay la, epi lòt zèl senk koude a te tache a zèl premye cheriben an.
13 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.
Zèl a cheriben sila yo te lonje pou ven koude, e yo te kanpe sou pye yo avèk fas yo vè gran chanm nan.
14 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.
Li te fè vwal la avèk len vyolèt, mov, wouj, e li te fè desen cheriben yo sou li.
15 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.
Anplis, li te fè de pilye pou devan kay la, trann-senk koude nan wotè e tèt anlè a sou chak te senk koude.
16 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.
Li te fè chenn nan sanktyè enteryè a. Li te plase yo sou tèt pilye yo. Li te fè san grenad e te mete yo sou chenn yo.
17 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.
Li te leve pilye yo pa devan tanp lan, youn adwat e lòt la agoch, epi li te rele sila adwat la Jakin e sila agoch la Boaz.
