Fiawo 1 6
1 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.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2 Gbedoxɔ si Fia Solomo tu na Yehowa la didi mita blaeve-vɔ-adre, keke mita asiekɛ eye wòkɔ mita wuietɔ̃ kple afã.
And the house which the king built to the Lord [was] forty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height five and twenty cubits.
3 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.
And the porch in front of the temple—twenty cubits [was] its length according to the breadth of the house in front of the house: and he built the house, and finished it.
4 Ewɔ fesre suesue siwo ƒe nugbɔ lɔ ɖe gotagome la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
And he made to the house secret windows inclining inward.
5 Le gbedoxɔ la ƒe akpata gã kple xɔ titinatɔ ƒe gliwo megbe la, woɖo gli siwo me xɔŋuxɔewo le la ɖi godoo va kpe.
And against the wall of the house he set chambers round about the temple and the ark.
6 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.
The under side [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [part] six, and the third [was] seven cubits broad; for he formed an interval to the house round about without the house, that they might not touch the walls of the house.
7 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.
And the house was built in the construction of it with rough hewn stones: and there was not heard in the house in the building of it hammer or axe, or any iron tool.
8 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.
And the porch of the under side [was] below the right wing of the house, and [there was] a winding ascent into the middle [chamber], and from the middle to the third story.
9 Esi wowu gbedoxɔa nu la, Solomo tsɔ sedati fa ɖe gliawo kple daɖedziawo kple sɔtiawo ŋu.
So he built the house and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house with cedars.
10 Etu xɔŋuxɔewo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la, ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita etɔ̃ eye wolé wo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu kple sedatiwo.
And he made the partitions through all the house, each five cubits high, and enclosed each partition with cedar boards.
11 Yehowa ƒe nya va na Solomo be,
12 “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 Manɔ Israelviwo dome eye nyemagblẽ wo ɖi akpɔ o.”
14 Ale Solomo wu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu mlɔeba.
15 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.
And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.
16 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.
And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place.
17 Akpata si le Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la nu la didi mita ene kple afã.
And the temple was forty cubits [in extent],
18 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 Xɔ ememetɔ mee wotsɔ Aƒetɔ la ƒe nubablaɖaka la da ɖo.
in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, [in order] to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 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,
The length [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth [was] twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.
21 Efa sika nyuitɔ ɖe gbedoxɔ la me, etsi sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ ɖe xɔ emetɔ ƒe ŋgɔgbe, afi si ŋu wòfa sika ɖo.
And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished [gilding] the whole house.
22 Ale wòfa sika ɖe xɔ blibo la me. Efa sika ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le xɔa emetɔ me la hã ŋu.
23 Wotsɔ amiti kpa kerubi eve eye Solomo tsɔ wo da ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me. Ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita ene kple afã.
And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.
24 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.
And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.
25 Eda wo ɖi ale be ɖeka ƒe aʋala tɔ gli le afii eye evelia hã ƒe aʋala tɔ gli le afi mɛ.
Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure.
26 Woƒe aʋala emetɔwo tɔ wo nɔewo le xɔ la titina.
And the height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] with the second cherub.
27 Woƒe aʋala ɖeka didi afɔ adre kple afã ale kerubi ɖeka kple eƒe aʋalawo ƒe kekeme de afɔ wuiatɔ̃.
And both the cherubs [were] in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.
28 Kerubi eveawo sɔ goawo katã me. Efa sika ɖe ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
And he covered the cherubs with gold.
29 Ekpa kerubiwo, detiwo kple seƒoƒo siwo ke la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔ eveawo ƒe gliwo ŋu
He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and [he sculptured] palm trees within and without [the house].
30 eye wòfa sika ɖe xɔ eveawo ƒe anyigba.
And he covered the floor of the house within and without with gold.
31 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
And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, [there were] porches in a four-fold way.
32 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 Solomo tsɔ amiti wɔ ʋɔtruti eve siwo ƒe kɔkɔme sɔ kple woƒe kekeme la, na gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
34 Ewɔ ʋɔtru eve kple sesewuti eye wodana yia megbe le wo ɖokui si.
In both the doors [were] planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned [on hinges],
35 Wokpa kerubiwo, detiwo kple seƒoƒo siwo ke la ɖe ʋɔtruawo ŋu eye wòfa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
being carved with cherubs, and [there were] palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it [was] overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.
36 Etsɔ kpe fufu ɖoɖo etɔ̃ kple sedaʋuƒo ɖoɖo ɖeka fa ɖe akpata emetɔwo ƒe gli ŋu.
And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about, and he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.
37 Woɖo gbedoxɔ la gɔme anyi le dzinu evelia me le Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia me.
38 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.
