1 Kings 6
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the LORD’s house.
Salomo abandaki kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe sima na mibu nkama minei na mwambe, wuta Isalaele abimaki na Ejipito, mobu oyo ekokanaki na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi na ye kati na Isalaele, na sanza ya zivi.
2 The house which King Solomon built for the LORD had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
Tempelo oyo Salomo atongaki mpo na Yawe ezalaki na bametele pene tuku misato na molayi, bametele pene zomi na mokuse mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na bosanda.
3 The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
Liboso ya Tempelo, na liboso ya eteni oyo eleki monene kati na Tempelo, ezalaki na ndako moko ya moke ya kokotela oyo ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mokuse; molayi na yango ezalaki ndenge moko na mokuse ya Tempelo; mpe ekota na kati na bametele pene mitano.
4 He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
Atiaki na bamir ya Tempelo maninisa oyo batia biyungulu.
5 Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
Atongaki pembeni ya bamir ya eteni oyo eleki monene kati na Tempelo mpe pembeni ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule biteni ya mike, ngambo na ngambo, na lolenge ya etaje.
6 The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
Etaje oyo ya se ya biteni yango ya mike ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse; etaje ya kati-kati, bametele pene misato na mokuse; mpe etaje oyo ya misato, bametele misato na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse. Boye bamir ya libanda ya Tempelo etikalaki lisusu minene te na likolo mpo ete motondo ebebisa bamir ya Tempelo te.
7 The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or axe or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
Mpo na kotonga Tempelo, basalelaki kaka mabanga oyo ebongisamaki malamu wuta na esika oyo bapasolaki yango; boye, esalaki ete makelele ya marto, ya epasola to ya esalelo mosusu ya ebende etikalaki koyokana te wana bazalaki kotonga yango.
8 The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
Ekotelo ya etaje ya se ezalaki na ngambo ya sude ya Tempelo; bongo, bazalaki kotambola na binyatelo mpo na komata na etaje ya kati-kati mpe na etaje ya misato.
9 So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
Tango Salomo asilisaki misala ya kotonga Tempelo, azipaki yango na plafon oyo esimbamaki na mabaya minene ya banzete ya sedele.
10 He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
Atongaki ba-etaje kolanda mir ya Tempelo: etaje moko na moko ezalaki na bosanda ya bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, mpe ekanganaki na Tempelo na nzela ya mabaya minene ya sedele mpo na kosimba motondo.
11 The LORD’s word came to Solomon, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Salomo:
12 “Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
— Na likambo oyo etali Tempelo oyo ozali kotonga, soki olandi bikateli na Ngai, soki okokisi malako na Ngai, soki otosi mpe olandi mibeko na Ngai nyonso, nakokokisa na nzela na yo elaka oyo napesaki na Davidi, tata na yo.
13 I will dwell amongst the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
Mpe nakoya kovanda kati na bato ya Isalaele mpe nakosundola te bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.
Salomo atongaki Tempelo mpe asilisaki misala na yango ya kotonga.
15 He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
Alatisaki bamir ya kati ya Tempelo na mabaya ya sedele, kobanda na se kino na likolo, mpe atiaki mabaya ya sipele na mabele ya Tempelo.
16 He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
Atongaki na mabaya ya sedele, kobanda na se kino na likolo, etando ya bametele pene zomi kati na Tempelo; abongisaki yango mpo ete ezala Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
17 In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
Eteni oyo elekaki monene kati na Tempelo, liboso ete okoma na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale.
18 There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
Batobolaki bililingi na mabaya ya sedele oyo balatisaki na bamir ya kati ya Tempelo, mpo na kotia bilembo oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya bakolokente mpe ya bafololo efungwama; balatisaki kati nyonso ya Tempelo na mabaya ya banzete ya sedele, mpe ata libanga moko te ezalaki komonana.
19 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of the LORD’s covenant there.
Salomo abongisaki Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpo na kotia Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
20 Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
Molayi ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule ezalaki na bametele pene zomi, mokuse na yango, bametele pene zomi; bongo bosanda na yango, bametele pene zomi. Salomo abambaki kati na yango wolo ya peto; abambaki lisusu wolo na etumbelo oyo basala na mabaya ya banzete ya sedele.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
Salomo abambaki wolo ya peto na kati nyonso ya Tempelo; atiaki basheni ya wolo liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
22 He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
Boye, abambaki wolo na kati nyonso ya Tempelo mpe na etumbelo oyo ezalaki liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
Kati na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, asalaki na nzete ya olive bililingi mibale ya basheribe: sheribe moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene mitano na molayi.
24 Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
Lipapu moko ya sheribe ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano; kosangisa mapapu nyonso mibale epesaki bametele mitano, kobanda na songe moko kino na songe mosusu.
25 The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
Molayi ya sheribe ya mibale ezalaki mpe na bametele pene mitano. Bililingi ya basheribe nyonso mibale ezalaki lolenge moko mpe molayi moko.
26 One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.
Bosanda ya bililingi nyonso mibale ya basheribe ezalaki ndenge moko: bametele pene mitano.
27 He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
Salomo atiaki bililingi ya basheribe yango na kati-kati ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule kati na Tempelo. Mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki ya kofungwama: lipapu moko ya sheribe ya liboso etutaki mir, mpe lipapu mosusu ya sheribe ya mibale etutaki mir mosusu; mpe mapapu na bango mibale mosusu etutanaki na kati-kati ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Salomo abambaki basheribe yango wolo.
29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
Atobolaki na bamir oyo ezingelaki Tempelo, ezala na kati to na libanda, bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama.
30 He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
Abambaki lisusu wolo na se ya Tempelo, ezala na kati to na libanda ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Salomo asalaki na mabaya ya banzete ya olive, na ekotelo ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, ekuke moko ya bizipelo mibale: monene ya kadre ya mabaya ya ekuke ezwaki ndambo moko kati na bandambo mitano ya mokuse ya mir.
32 So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
Atobolaki bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama na bizipelo nyonso mibale oyo basalaki na mabaya ya banzete ya olive; abambaki wolo oyo balekisa na moto na bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama.
33 He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
Asalaki mpe ndenge moko mpo na ekotelo ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene: kadre na mabaya ya banzete ya olive, bizipelo mibale na mabaya ya banzete ya sipele. Monene na yango ezwaki ndambo moko kati na bandambo minei ya mokuse ya mir.
34 and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
Asalaki lisusu na mabaya ya sipele bizipelo mibale; ezipelo ya liboso ezalaki na biteni ya mabaya mibale oyo ebalukaka, mpe ezipelo ya mibale ezalaki na barido mibale oyo ebalukaka.
35 He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
Atobolaki likolo na yango bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama; mpe abambaki yango wolo na kolanda bandelo ya bililingi yango.
36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
Salomo azingelaki lopango ya kati na mir oyo batonga na milongo misato ya mabanga bakata mpe bamatisa moko likolo ya mosusu, mpe na molongo moko ya mabaya minene ya sedele mpo na kosimba motondo.
37 The foundation of the LORD’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.
Moboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe etiamaki na mobu ya minei, na sanza ya Zivi.
38 In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
Basilisaki kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe elongo na biteni na yango nyonso na sanza ya Buli oyo ezali sanza ya mwambe, na mobu ya zomi na moko. Salomo asalaki mibu sambo mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe.
