1 Kings 6
1 And it cometh to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year — in the month of Zif, it [is] the second month — of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he buildeth the house for Jehovah.
Le ƒe alafa ene blaenyilia me, le Israelviwo ƒe gododo le Egipte megbe, esi nye Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel ƒe ƒe enelia me le dzinu evelia, Zib me la, edze Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu gɔme.
2 As to the house that king Solomon hath built for Jehovah, sixty cubits [is] its length, and twenty its breadth, and thirty cubits its height.
Gbedoxɔ si Fia Solomo tu na Yehowa la didi mita blaeve-vɔ-adre, keke mita asiekɛ eye wòkɔ mita wuietɔ̃ kple afã.
3 As to the porch on the front of the temple of the house, twenty cubits [is] its length on the front of the breadth of the house; ten by the cubit [is] its breadth on the front of the house;
Akpata si le gbedoxɔ la ƒe dodonuxɔ nu la didi sɔ kple gbedoxɔ la ƒe kekeme, si ƒe kekeme nye mita asiekɛ eye wòdo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ mita ene kple afã.
4 and he maketh for the house windows of narrow lights.
Ewɔ fesre suesue siwo ƒe nugbɔ lɔ ɖe gotagome la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
5 And he buildeth against the wall of the house a couch round about, [even] the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the oracle, and maketh sides round about.
Le gbedoxɔ la ƒe akpata gã kple xɔ titinatɔ ƒe gliwo megbe la, woɖo gli siwo me xɔŋuxɔewo le la ɖi godoo va kpe.
6 The lowest couch, five by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the middle, six by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the third, seven by the cubit [is] its breadth, for withdrawings he hath put to the house round about, without — not to lay hold on the walls of the house.
Xɔ anyigbatɔ keke mita eve kple afã, xɔ titinatɔ keke mita etɔ̃ kloe eye xɔ tametɔ keke mita etɔ̃ kple nu sue aɖe. Le gbedoxɔ la godo la, eɖo gli kpui ƒo xlãe ale be womaŋɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe gli la atsɔ naneke ade eme o.
7 And the house, in its being built, of perfect stone brought [thither] hath been built, and hammer, and the axe — any instrument of iron — was not heard in the house, in its being built.
Wokpa kpe siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔ le gbedoxɔ la tutu me la le kpekuƒe la, ale womese zu, fia alo dɔwɔnu bubu aɖeke ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ ƒe ɖiɖi le xɔa tuƒe o.
8 The opening of the middle side [is] at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one unto the third.
Wotoa gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe gome gena ɖe axadzixɔ anyigbatɔawo me. Atrakpui gɔdɔ̃gɔdɔ̃wo tso anyigbatɔawo me yi xɔtaxɔ gbãtɔwo me. Bubuwo hã gatso xɔtaxɔ eveliawo me yi etɔ̃liawo me.
9 And he buildeth the house, and completeth it, and covereth the house [with] beams and rows of cedars.
Esi wowu gbedoxɔa nu la, Solomo tsɔ sedati fa ɖe gliawo kple daɖedziawo kple sɔtiawo ŋu.
10 And he buildeth the couch against all the house, five cubits [is] its height, and it taketh hold of the house by cedar-wood.
Etu xɔŋuxɔewo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la, ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita etɔ̃ eye wolé wo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu kple sedatiwo.
11 And the word of Jehovah is unto Solomon, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Solomo be,
12 'This house that thou art building — if thou dost walk in My statutes, and My judgments dost do, yea, hast done all My commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father,
“Le gbedoxɔ si tum nèle ŋu la, ne èzɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo nu, nèwɔ nye kɔnuwo dzi, ne èlé nye sewo me ɖe asi eye nèwɔ wo dzi la, ekema mato dziwò awɔ ŋugbe si medo na fofowò, David la dzi.
13 and have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and do not forsake My people Israel.'
Manɔ Israelviwo dome eye nyemagblẽ wo ɖi akpɔ o.”
14 And Solomon buildeth the house and completeth it;
Ale Solomo wu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu mlɔeba.
15 and he buildeth the walls of the house within with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling; he hath overlaid with wood the inside, and covereth the floor of the house with ribs of fir.
Efa sedaʋuƒowo ɖe gliawo ŋu le xɔawo me, tso anyigba ɖatɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe dzisasã la eye wòɖo sesewuʋuƒowo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe anyigba le xɔawo katã me.
16 And he buildeth the twenty cubits on the sides of the house with ribs of cedar, from the floor unto the walls; and he buildeth for it within, for the oracle, for the holy of holies.
Eɖe mita asiekɛ ɖe gbedoxɔ la megbe eye wòtsɔ sedaʋuƒowo ma teƒe si wòɖe ɖe megbe la me tso anyigba ɖatɔ xɔ la ƒe dzisasã be wòanye xɔ anɔ gbedoxɔ la me, esia nye Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe.
17 And forty by the cubit was the house, it [is] the temple before [it].
Akpata si le Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la nu la didi mita ene kple afã.
18 And the cedar for the house within [is] carvings of knobs and openings of flowers; the whole [is] cedar, there is not a stone seen.
Le gbedoxɔ la me la, efa sedaʋuƒowo ɖe afi sia afi eye wòta goewo kple seƒoƒo siwo ke la ɖe ʋuƒoawo ŋu ale be nu sia nu si le gbedoxɔa me la nye sedaʋuƒo, gli aɖeke ŋuti medze o.
19 And the oracle in the midst of the house within he hath prepared, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
Xɔ ememetɔ mee wotsɔ Aƒetɔ la ƒe nubablaɖaka la da ɖo.
20 And before the oracle [is] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits [is] its height; and he overlayeth it with gold refined, and overlayeth the altar with cedar.
Xɔ sia me didi mita asiekɛ, keke mita asiekɛ eye wòkɔ mita asiekɛ. Etsɔ sika nyuitɔ fa ɖe gliawo kple dzisasã la ŋu. Solomo tsɔ sedati wɔ vɔsamlekpui da ɖe xɔ sia me,
21 And Solomon overlayeth the house within with gold refined, and causeth [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlayeth it with gold.
Efa sika nyuitɔ ɖe gbedoxɔ la me, etsi sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ ɖe xɔ emetɔ ƒe ŋgɔgbe, afi si ŋu wòfa sika ɖo.
22 And the whole of the house he hath overlaid with gold, till the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle hath, he hath overlaid with gold.
Ale wòfa sika ɖe xɔ blibo la me. Efa sika ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le xɔa emetɔ me la hã ŋu.
23 And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits [is] their height;
Wotsɔ amiti kpa kerubi eve eye Solomo tsɔ wo da ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me. Ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita ene kple afã.
24 and five cubits [is] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the ends of its wings even unto the ends of its wings;
Kerubi gbãtɔ ƒe aʋala ɖeka didi mita etɔ̃, aʋala evelia didi mita atɔ̃ eye tso woƒe aʋalawo ƒe nugbɔ yi aʋala bubu gbɔ le mita ade.
25 and ten by the cubit [is] the second cherub, one measure and one form [are] to the two cherubs,
Eda wo ɖi ale be ɖeka ƒe aʋala tɔ gli le afii eye evelia hã ƒe aʋala tɔ gli le afi mɛ.
26 the height of the one cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so [is] the second cherub;
Woƒe aʋala emetɔwo tɔ wo nɔewo le xɔ la titina.
27 and he setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings [are] unto the midst of the house, coming wing against wing;
Woƒe aʋala ɖeka didi afɔ adre kple afã ale kerubi ɖeka kple eƒe aʋalawo ƒe kekeme de afɔ wuiatɔ̃.
28 and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold,
Kerubi eveawo sɔ goawo katã me. Efa sika ɖe ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
29 and all the walls of the house round about he hath carved with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, within and without.
Ekpa kerubiwo, detiwo kple seƒoƒo siwo ke la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔ eveawo ƒe gliwo ŋu
30 And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without;
eye wòfa sika ɖe xɔ eveawo ƒe anyigba.
31 as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth.
Ke hena mɔnu si ge ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me la, etsɔ amiti sesẽ ƒe ʋuƒo kpa ʋɔtru si ŋena ɖe akpa eve la tsɔ xe mɔnu si ʋɔtruti atɔ̃ li na
32 And the two doors [are] of the oil-tree, and he hath carved upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees.
eye wòkpa Kerubiwo, detiwo, seƒoƒo siwo ke la ɖe mɔnu la ƒe ʋɔtru eve siwo wòkpa kple amiti la ŋu hafi fa sika ɖe wo katã ŋu.
33 And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth.
Solomo tsɔ amiti wɔ ʋɔtruti eve siwo ƒe kɔkɔme sɔ kple woƒe kekeme la, na gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
34 And the two doors [are] of fir-tree, the two sides of the one door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving.
Ewɔ ʋɔtru eve kple sesewuti eye wodana yia megbe le wo ɖokui si.
35 And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work.
Wokpa kerubiwo, detiwo kple seƒoƒo siwo ke la ɖe ʋɔtruawo ŋu eye wòfa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
36 And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.
Etsɔ kpe fufu ɖoɖo etɔ̃ kple sedaʋuƒo ɖoɖo ɖeka fa ɖe akpata emetɔwo ƒe gli ŋu.
37 In the fourth year hath the house of Jehovah been founded, in the month Zif,
Woɖo gbedoxɔ la gɔme anyi le dzinu evelia me le Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia me.
38 and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul — [that is] the eighth month — hath the house been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he buildeth it seven years.
Wowu xɔ blibo la tutu nu le Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia ƒe ɣleti enyilia, Bul me. Ale gbedoxɔ la tutu xɔ ƒe adre.
