< Fiawo 1 7 >

1 Solomo tu fiasã na eɖokui; fiasã la tutu xɔ ƒe wuietɔ̃.
Now Solomon built his own house for thirteen years, and he brought it to perfection.
2 Woyɔa fiasã la ƒe xɔ ɖeka be, “Lebanon ƒe Avexɔ.” Elolo ŋutɔ, edidi mita blaene-vɔ-ade, keke mita blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ eye wòkɔ mita wuietɔ̃ kple afã. Sedati ƒe daɖedzi gãwo nɔ sedati ƒe sɔti siwo wotu ɖe agbaka ene me la dzi.
And he built the house from the forest of Lebanon: one hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height, with four walkways between columns of cedar. For he had hewn the cedar trees into columns.
3 Wogbae kple sedati ɖe daɖedziawo tame. Daɖedziawo nɔ sɔti blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃awo dzi. Sɔti wuiatɔ̃ nɔ agbaka etɔ̃ dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me.
And he clothed the entire vaulted room with panels of cedar. And it was supported by forty-five columns. Now one row held fifteen columns,
4 Eɖe fesreawo ɖe kɔkɔƒe; fesre etɔ̃ nɔ axa ɖeka, etɔ̃ hã nɔ axa bubu eye wodze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo.
each positioned opposite another,
5 Ʋɔtrutiawo ƒe kekeme kple didime siaa sɔ, nenema kee fesretiwo tɔ hã sɔe. Wonɔ agbaka etɔ̃ me eye wodze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo.
and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.
6 Woyɔ xɔ bubu be Sɔtiwo Ƒe Xɔ. Edidi mita blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃ eye wòkeke mita wuietɔ̃ kple afã. Akpata aɖe nɔ ŋgɔ na xɔ sia. Wogba akpata sia ɖe sɔtiwo dzi.
And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.
7 Fiazikpuixɔ alo Ʋɔnudrɔ̃xɔ hã nɔ anyi, afi si Fia Solomo drɔ̃a ʋɔnu le. Efa sedaʋuƒowo ɖe gliawo ŋu tso anyigba ɖatɔ daɖedziawo.
He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.
8 Fia Solomo tu eya ŋutɔ ƒe nɔƒe ɖe xɔ sia megbe. Efa sedaʋuƒowo ɖe gliawo ŋu eye wòtu akpata aɖe ƒo xlãe. Egatu xɔ sia tɔgbi tututu ɖe fiasã la me na Fia Farao ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si nye srɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖeka.
And in the midst of the portico, there was a small house, where he would sit in judgment, similar in workmanship. He also made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh (whom Solomon had taken as wife) of the same work and type as this portico.
9 Woɖo gli siawo katã tso gota va se ɖe xɔxɔnu gã la eye tso gɔmeɖokpe dzi va se ɖe kpe siwo wotsɔ ƒo xɔtae la dzi. Kpe siawo nye kpe xɔasi siwo wokpa kple laxalaxa eye wozrɔ̃ wo ŋkume kple wo godo siaa.
All was of precious stones, which had been sawed by a particular standard and measure, as much within as without, from the foundation even to the summit of the walls, and outside even to the great atrium.
10 Woɖo xɔ la ƒe gɔmeɖokpewo kple kpe xɔasi gãwo eye ɖewo ƒe didime anɔ mita ene kple afã eye ɖewo hã etɔ̃ kple afã.
Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.
11 Woɖo gliawo ƒe dziƒogbɔ kple kpe xɔasi siwo wokpa ɖe dzidzeme nyuitɔ nu eye wotsɔ sedatiwo da ɖe wo dzi.
And above these, there were precious stones, of equal measure, which had been cut in a manner similar to boards of cedar.
12 Wotsɔ kpe siwo woɖo atsyɔ̃ na la ɖo gli kpui aɖe ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu gãtɔ la eye le gli kpui la tame la, wotsɔ sedati si ŋuti woƒlɔ wòzrɔ̃ nyuie la ɖo ɖe etame abe ale si wowɔe le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu emetɔ kple eƒe akpata me la ene.
And the great atrium was round, with three rows of cut stones and one row of cut cedar, even as it also was in the interior atrium of the house of the Lord, and in the portico of the house.
13 Azɔ Fia Solomo ɖo du ɖe ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Huram la tso Tiro be wòava.
And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram of Tyre,
14 Huram nye Yuda nyɔnu aɖe si tso Naftali ƒomea me eye wònye ahosi aɖe ƒe vi. Fofoa nye akɔblinutula tso Tiro, ale aɖaŋu, nugɔmesese kple nunya geɖe le tagbɔ nɛ eye wònya akɔbliɖaŋu vovovowo wɔwɔ. Eva Fia Solomo gbɔ eye wòwɔ dɔ siwo katã wode asi nɛ.
the son of a widowed woman, from the tribe of Naphtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artisan in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in order to form every work of brass. And when he had gone to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.
15 Hiram tsɔ akɔbli tu sɔti eve siwo me do le, ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita enyi kple nu sue aɖe.
And he cast two columns of brass. Each column was eighteen cubits in height, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed both columns.
16 Ewɔ tameɖonu eve kple akɔbli be woatsɔ aɖo sɔtiawo dzi. Tameɖonu ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita eve kple afã.
Also, he made two heads of molten brass, which would be set upon the tops of the columns: one head was five cubits in height, and the other head was five cubits in height.
17 Ewɔ gaɖɔwo kple kɔsɔkɔsɔ adreadre da ɖe sɔtiawo tame.
And there was something like a network of chains, woven together in a wonderful manner. Both heads of the columns were cast, and seven rows of little nets traversed one head, and seven little nets were on the other head.
18 Ewɔ seƒoƒowo ɖe fli eve me, woƒo xlã gaɖɔ ɖe sia ɖe be woaɖo atsyɔ̃ na tameɖonuawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
And he finished the columns with two rows all around each network, so that these covered the heads, which were at the top, with pomegranates. And he did in like manner to the second head.
19 Wowɔ tameɖonu na sɔti siwo le akpata la me la ɖe dzogbenya ƒe nɔnɔme me, ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita eve.
Now the heads that were at the top of the columns, in the portico of four cubits, had been fabricated with a work of lilies.
20 Wota seƒoƒo alafa eve ɖe agbaka eve me ƒo xlã tameɖonu siwo le sɔtiawo tame la dzi.
And again, there were other heads at the tops of the columns above, in accord with the measure of the column opposite the netting. And there were two hundred of the pomegranates, in rows around the second head.
21 Hiram da sɔti eve siawo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Esi le dziehe gome la ŋkɔe nye Yakin eye esi le anyiehe gome ŋkɔe nye Boaz.
And he stationed the two columns in the portico of the temple. And when he had stationed the column on the right, he called its name Jachin. Similarly, he erected the second column, and he called its name Boaz.
22 Wotsɔ tameɖonu siwo wowɔ ɖe dzogbenya ƒe nɔnɔme me la da ɖe sɔtiawo tame, ale wowu sɔtiawo ŋuti dɔwo nu.
And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.
23 Emegbe la, Etsɔ gayibɔ wɔ gazɔ si le nogoo, eƒe ta ƒe kekeme anɔ mita eve kple afã kpe ɖo, gazɔ la ƒe kɔkɔme anɔ mita ɖeka kple afã. Ne wodzidze zɔ la ƒe kekeme blibo la, anɔ mita wuietɔ̃ kple afã.
He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.
24 Le zɔ la te lɔƒo la, wowɔ go siwo dome nɔ sentimita ene alo eve eye wonɔ agbaka eve me. Wololõ akɔbli wɔ wo kpe ɖe gazɔ la ŋu.
And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.
25 Wotsɔ zɔ la da ɖe nyitsu wuieve dzi. Etɔ̃ dze ŋgɔ anyiehe, etɔ̃ dze ŋgɔ ɣetoɖoƒe, etɔ̃ dze ŋgɔ dziehe eye etɔ̃ dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe. Wotsɔ zɔ la da ɖe wo tame eye zɔ la ƒe afɔwo le woƒe titina.
And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.
26 Zɔ la tri sentimita enyi, eƒe to le abe tsinokplu tɔ ene eye wowɔe abe ale si dzogbenya ƒe seƒoƒo le ene. Exɔa tsi kilolita blaene-vɔ-ene.
And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.
27 Etsɔ akɔbli wɔ nunɔdzi ewo, tasiaɖam ƒe afɔwo nɔ ɖe sia ɖe te. Nunɔdzi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe didime kple kekeme nye mita eve eye wòkɔ mita ɖeka kple afã.
And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
28 Wowɔ wo kple akɔbli gbadza siwo woda ɖe akɔblitiwo dzi.
And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
29 Wota dzatawo, nyitsuwo kple Kerubiwo ɖe akɔbli gbadzawo dzi. Wota seƒoƒotsihewo ɖe gatiawo dzi le dzataawo kple nyitsuawo tame kple wo te siaa.
And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.
30 Hiram tsɔ akɔbli wɔ tasiaɖamfɔ ene kple woƒe troƒewo ɖe nunɔdzi ɖe sia ɖe te. Zɔawo nɔ dzogoe eneawo dzi eye wodze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo.
And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.
31 Wotsyɔ nu zɔawo nu. Nutsyɔnuawo do ɖe dzi sentimita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ eye wogabi do ɖe anyigba le eme.
Also, the mouth of the interior of the basin was at the top of the head. And what was visible outside was of one cubit all around, and altogether it had one cubit and a half. Now at the corners of the columns were diverse engravings. And the spaces between the columns were square, not round.
32 Akɔblifɔawo kɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade. Wonɔ akɔbli gbadzawo te eye wotu troƒeawo kple tasiaɖamuawo ɖekae.
And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined to one another under the base. The height of one wheel held one cubit and a half.
33 Woƒe afɔwo le abe tasiaɖam ƒe afɔwo ene. Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ tasiaɖam la ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
Now these were the kind of wheels such as are often made for a chariot. And their axels, and spokes, and tires, and centers were all cast.
34 Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ sɔti suewo kple nunɔdziawo ɖekae ɖe woƒe dzogoewo me.
And the four little arms, which were at each corner of a base, were cast and joined together as part of the base itself.
35 Womli nunɔdzi la ƒe nu wokɔ sentimita blaeve-vɔ-ade eye towo kple akɔgo le eŋu.
And at the summit of the base, there was a round stand of one half cubit, fabricated so that the basin could be placed upon it, having its engravings, and various sculptures of its own.
36 Wota Kerubiwo, dzatawo kple detiwo eye wofa seƒoƒowo ƒo xlã wo togawo afi sia afi si mɔ nɔ la ko.
He also engraved those plates, which were of brass. And at the corners were cherubim, and lions, and palm trees, standing out, as if in the likeness of a man, so that they seemed not to be engraved, but placed adjacent on all sides.
37 Nunɔdzi ewoawo katã sɔ le lolome eye woɖi wo nɔewo elabena wololõ woƒe akɔbli kɔ ɖe nu ɖeka ma ke me le wo wɔɣi.
In this manner, he made ten bases with the same casting and measure, and very similar engravings.
38 Hiram tsɔ gadzẽ wɔ ze ewo da ɖe nunɔdziawo dzi, ze ɖe sia ɖe keke eye wòdidi mita eve eye wòxɔa tsi lita alafa enyi blaenyi.
He also made ten hand basins of brass. One hand basin contained four baths, and was of four cubits. And each basin he set upon a base, which is ten bases.
39 Woɖi ze atɔ̃ ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe eye woɖi atɔ̃ bubu hã ɖe eƒe anyiehe. Zɔ la nɔ dzogoe si nɔ dziehe kple ɣedzeƒe dome la me le xɔa me le ɖusime.
And he stationed the ten bases, five to the right side of the temple, and five to the left. And the sea he placed to the right side of the temple, opposite the east, toward the south.
40 Huram gawɔ zewo, sofiwo kple trewo. Ale wòwu dɔ si Fia Solomo ɖo nɛ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la nu. Nu siwo wòwɔ la woe nye esiawo:
Then Hiram made cooking pots, and trays, and small hooks. And he completed all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord:
41 Sɔti eve; tameɖonu ɖeka ɖeka na sɔti eveawo; wotsi kɔsɔkɔsɔ eve ɖe tameɖonu nogoawo ŋu le sɔtiawo tame.
the two columns, and the two cords of the heads over the tops of the columns, and the two networks which covered the two cords that were above the tops of the columns;
42 Yevuboɖa alafa ene le agbaka eve me le gaɖɔ ɖeka ŋu ne woxe ta mligo eve siwo le sɔtiawo tame la ŋu;
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two turnings of pomegranates for each network, in order to cover the cords of the heads, which were above the tops of the columns;
43 nunɔdzi ewo kple ze ewo siwo nɔ nunɔdziawo dzi;
and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
44 gazɔ ɖeka kple nyitsu wuieve siwo le gazɔ la te;
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 zewo, sofiwo kple trewo. Nu siawo katã Huram wɔ na Fia Solomo hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple akɔbli si ŋu wozrɔ̃.
and the cooking pots, and the trays, and the small hooks. All of the items that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of golden brass.
46 Fia la na wololõ ga la kɔ ɖe nu si wowɔ ɖe nuawo ƒe nɔnɔme me le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe balime le Sukɔt kple Zaretan dome.
In the open regions near the Jordan, the king cast these, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomo mena woda nuawo kpɔ o, elabena akɔbliawo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be, womate ŋu adae o.
And Solomon positioned all the items. But because of its exceedingly great amount, the brass was not weighed.
48 Solomo na wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me nuwo katã. Nu siawoe nye: vɔsamlekpui, kplɔ̃ si dzi wodaa Ŋkumeɖobolo ɖo;
And Solomon made all the furniture for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the bread of the presence would be placed;
49 akaɖitiwo, atɔ̃ le ɖusime eye atɔ̃ hã le miame, le Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la ŋgɔ, seƒoƒowo, akaɖiwo kple ɖovulãnuwo.
and the gold lampstands, five to the right, and five to the left, opposite the oracle, of pure gold; and likenesses of lily blossoms, with lamps above them, of gold; and gold tongs;
50 Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ kpluwo, hɛwo, agbawo, gatsiwo kple nutɔgbawo kple Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe ʋɔtrugawo kple gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnuʋɔtru.
and water pots, and little forks, and bowls, and little mortars, and censers, of the purest gold; and the hinges of the doors, for the interior house of the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the temple, which were of gold.
51 Esi wowu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la nu mlɔeba la, Fia Solomo tsɔ klosalo kple sika kple nu siwo katã ŋu fofoa, Fia David, kɔ hena gbedoxɔ la, da ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒe la me.
And Solomon perfected all the work that he was doing in the house of the Lord. And he brought in the things that his father David had sanctified: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels. And he stored these in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
