Fiawo 1 7
1 Solomo tu fiasã na eɖokui; fiasã la tutu xɔ ƒe wuietɔ̃.
Solomon took thirteen years to build his own palace.
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.
He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.
3 Wogbae kple sedati ɖe daɖedziawo tame. Daɖedziawo nɔ sɔti blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃awo dzi. Sɔti wuiatɔ̃ nɔ agbaka etɔ̃ dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me.
The house was roofed with cedar that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.
4 Eɖe fesreawo ɖe kɔkɔƒe; fesre etɔ̃ nɔ axa ɖeka, etɔ̃ hã nɔ axa bubu eye wodze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo.
There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.
5 Ʋɔtrutiawo ƒe kekeme kple didime siaa sɔ, nenema kee fesretiwo tɔ hã sɔe. Wonɔ agbaka etɔ̃ me eye wodze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo.
All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.
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.
There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.
7 Fiazikpuixɔ alo Ʋɔnudrɔ̃xɔ hã nɔ anyi, afi si Fia Solomo drɔ̃a ʋɔnu le. Efa sedaʋuƒowo ɖe gliawo ŋu tso anyigba ɖatɔ daɖedziawo.
Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
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.
Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
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.
These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.
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.
The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.
11 Woɖo gliawo ƒe dziƒogbɔ kple kpe xɔasi siwo wokpa ɖe dzidzeme nyuitɔ nu eye wotsɔ sedatiwo da ɖe wo dzi.
Above were costly hewn stones precisely cut to size, and cedar beams.
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.
The great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.
13 Azɔ Fia Solomo ɖo du ɖe ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Huram la tso Tiro be wòava.
King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from 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.
Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.
15 Hiram tsɔ akɔbli tu sɔti eve siwo me do le, ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita enyi kple nu sue aɖe.
Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 Ewɔ tameɖonu eve kple akɔbli be woatsɔ aɖo sɔtiawo dzi. Tameɖonu ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita eve kple afã.
He made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.
17 Ewɔ gaɖɔwo kple kɔsɔkɔsɔ adreadre da ɖe sɔtiawo tame.
Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
18 Ewɔ seƒoƒowo ɖe fli eve me, woƒo xlã gaɖɔ ɖe sia ɖe be woaɖo atsyɔ̃ na tameɖonuawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.
19 Wowɔ tameɖonu na sɔti siwo le akpata la me la ɖe dzogbenya ƒe nɔnɔme me, ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita eve.
The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.
20 Wota seƒoƒo alafa eve ɖe agbaka eve me ƒo xlã tameɖonu siwo le sɔtiawo tame la dzi.
The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
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.
He raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz.
22 Wotsɔ tameɖonu siwo wowɔ ɖe dzogbenya ƒe nɔnɔme me la da ɖe sɔtiawo tame, ale wowu sɔtiawo ŋuti dɔwo nu.
On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.
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.
Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
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.
Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.
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.
“The Sea” stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
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.
The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water.
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.
Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.
28 Wowɔ wo kple akɔbli gbadza siwo woda ɖe akɔblitiwo dzi.
The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames,
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 on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.
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.
Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one.
31 Wotsyɔ nu zɔawo nu. Nutsyɔnuawo do ɖe dzi sentimita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ eye wogabi do ɖe anyigba le eme.
The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.
32 Akɔblifɔawo kɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade. Wonɔ akɔbli gbadzawo te eye wotu troƒeawo kple tasiaɖamuawo ɖekae.
The four wheels were underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
33 Woƒe afɔwo le abe tasiaɖam ƒe afɔwo ene. Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ tasiaɖam la ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
The wheels were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
34 Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ sɔti suewo kple nunɔdziawo ɖekae ɖe woƒe dzogoewo me.
There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.
35 Womli nunɔdzi la ƒe nu wokɔ sentimita blaeve-vɔ-ade eye towo kple akɔgo le eŋu.
In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.
36 Wota Kerubiwo, dzatawo kple detiwo eye wofa seƒoƒowo ƒo xlã wo togawo afi sia afi si mɔ nɔ la ko.
On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.
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.
He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same shape.
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.
Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of ten stands.
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.
He made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south of the temple.
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:
Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:
41 Sɔti eve; tameɖonu ɖeka ɖeka na sɔti eveawo; wotsi kɔsɔkɔsɔ eve ɖe tameɖonu nogoawo ŋu le sɔtiawo tame.
the two pillars, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
42 Yevuboɖa alafa ene le agbaka eve me le gaɖɔ ɖeka ŋu ne woxe ta mligo eve siwo le sɔtiawo tame la ŋu;
He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);
43 nunɔdzi ewo kple ze ewo siwo nɔ nunɔdziawo dzi;
the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.
44 gazɔ ɖeka kple nyitsu wuieve siwo le gazɔ la te;
He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its twelve oxen under it;
45 zewo, sofiwo kple trewo. Nu siawo katã Huram wɔ na Fia Solomo hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple akɔbli si ŋu wozrɔ̃.
also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.
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.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomo mena woda nuawo kpɔ o, elabena akɔbliawo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be, womate ŋu adae o.
Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
48 Solomo na wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me nuwo katã. Nu siawoe nye: vɔsamlekpui, kplɔ̃ si dzi wodaa Ŋkumeɖobolo ɖo;
Solomon had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
49 akaɖitiwo, atɔ̃ le ɖusime eye atɔ̃ hã le miame, le Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la ŋgɔ, seƒoƒowo, akaɖiwo kple ɖovulãnuwo.
the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of gold.
50 Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ kpluwo, hɛwo, agbawo, gatsiwo kple nutɔgbawo kple Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe ʋɔtrugawo kple gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnuʋɔtru.
Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
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.
In this way, all the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
