Kronika 2 3
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 building the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had provided—the former 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 his fourth year as king.
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 size of the foundation Solomon laid for the Temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, (according to the old cubit measurement).
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 front porch that ran across the width of the Temple was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He covered the inside of the porch 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 overlaid with fine gold, with images of 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 decorated the Temple with beautiful gems, and with gold he imported from Parvaim.
7 Wofa sika si me woɖe mawudɔlawo ɖo la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo, daɖedziwo, ʋɔtruwo kple kpuiawo katã ŋu.
He covered the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors of the Temple 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.
He made the room of the Most Holy Place to correspond with the width of the Temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He covered the interior 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 one shekel for every fifty shekels of 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.
He made for the Most Holy Place two wooden cherubim covered 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 wingspan of the cherubim together was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the second 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.
In similar fashion, one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the first cherub.
13 Kerubi eveawo ƒe aʋalawo didi mita ewo. Wole tsitrenu eye wodze ŋgɔ xɔ gã la.
So the wingspan of these cherubim together 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 embroidery on fine linen, with images of cherubim on 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.
He made two columns for the front of the Temple, thirty-five cubits, each having a capital five cubits high.
16 Ewɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔwo da ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la, le sɔtiawo tame eye wòtsi yevuboɖa alafa ɖeka ɖe kɔsɔkɔsɔawo ŋu.
He made chains like in the Most Holy Place and he placed them on top of the columns. He also made one hundred ornamental pomegranates and attached them to each chain.
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.
He set up the columns in front of the Temple, one on the south, and one on the north. The column on the south he named Jachin, and the column on the north he named Boaz.
