1 Tete Solomo na wodze Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu gɔme. Wotui ɖe Yerusalem, le Moria to la dzi, afi si Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia Solomo fofo, Fia David le, afi si Arauna, Yebusitɔ la ƒe lugbɔƒe nɔ. David tia teƒe ma be wòanye gbedoxɔ la ƒe nɔƒe.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Xɔtutu la ŋutɔ dze egɔme le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke evelia dzi le Fia Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia me.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Gɔmeɖokpe si Solomo ɖo na Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la didi mita blaeve-vɔ-adre eye wòkeke mita asieke le nudzidzenu xoxo la nu.
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
4 Akpata si nɔ gbedoxɔ la ŋkume la didi mita asieke va se ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe kekeme eye wòkɔ mita blaatɔ̃-vɔ-ene. Wofa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eme katã.
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 Woklã sesewuʋuƒowo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋutɔ me, wofa sika nyuitɔ ɖe ʋuƒoawo ŋu eye woɖe detiwo kple kɔsɔkɔsɔwo ɖe sika la me.
He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 Etsɔ kpe xɔasi siwo nya kpɔna ŋutɔ la ɖo ɖe gliawo me be woado xɔa me ƒe nyonyo ɖe ŋgɔ. Sika la nye sika nyuitɔ tso Parvaim.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
7 Wofa sika si me woɖe mawudɔlawo ɖo la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo, daɖedziwo, ʋɔtruwo kple kpuiawo katã ŋu.
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 Teƒe si woyɔna be Kɔkɔeƒe Ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la le gbedoxɔ la ƒe akpa ɖeka. Eƒe didime nye mita asieke eye eƒe kekeme hã nye mita asieke. Wofa sika si ƒe kpekpeme nye “tɔn” blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ la ɖe gliawo ŋu.
Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Sikagatagbadzɛ siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔ la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒe kpekpeme nye gram alafa atɔ̃ blaadre. Wofa sika ɖe xɔtaxɔawo hã me.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
10 Solomo na wowɔ mawudɔla eve, efa sika ɖe wo ŋu eye wòtsɔ wo da ɖe xɔ, emetɔ, si nye Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me.
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Kerubiawo ƒe aʋalawo ƒe didime le mita ewo. Kerubi gbãtɔ ƒe aʋala ɖeka didi mita eve kple afã eye wotɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe gli. Aʋala evelia, si hã didi mita eve kple afã la tɔ kerubi evelia ƒe aʋala ɖeka.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Nenema ke kerubi evelia ƒe aʋala ɖeka, si didi mita eve kple afã la tɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe gli eye eƒe aʋala evelia, si hã didi mita eve kple afã la, tɔ kerubi gbãtɔ ƒe aʋala.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 Kerubi eveawo ƒe aʋalawo didi mita ewo. Wole tsitrenu eye wodze ŋgɔ xɔ gã la.
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Etsi xɔmetsovɔ si nye aklala si wotsɔ aɖabɛ blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ ƒe ka lɔ̃e eye wota mawudɔlawo ɖe eme la ɖe xɔ sia ƒe mɔnu.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
15 Sɔti eve le gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita wuiade. Wotsɔ taɖonu si do tso xɔgbagba la te la ɖo ta na sɔtiawo eye ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita eve kple afã.
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
16 Ewɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔwo da ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la, le sɔtiawo tame eye wòtsi yevuboɖa alafa ɖeka ɖe kɔsɔkɔsɔawo ŋu.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
17 Etu sɔti eve ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋkume, ɖeka ɖe dziehe gome, evelia ɖe anyiehe gome eye wòna ŋkɔ wo. Woyɔa dziehetɔ be, Yakin eye woyɔa anyiehetɔ be, Boaz.
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
