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 began Solomon, to build the house of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, in Mount Moriah, where he had appeared unto David his father, —in the place which David had prepared, in 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.

And he began to build, in the second month, on the second, 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.

And, these, are the things wherein Solomon was grounded for the building of the house of God, —The length, by cubits, in the first measure, was sixty cubits, and, the breadth, twenty cubits.

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.

And, the porch which was in front of the length, in front of the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and, the height thereof, was a hundred and twenty, —and he overlaid it, within, 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.

And, the greater house, covered he with cypress wood, and overlaid it with fine gold, —and raised thereon palms, and wreathed garlands.

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.

And he covered the house with precious stones, for beauty, —and, the gold, was gold of Parvaim.

7 Wofa sika si me woɖe mawudɔlawo ɖo la ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo, daɖedziwo, ʋɔtruwo kple kpuiawo katã ŋu.

And he covered the house, the beams, the entrance-hall, and the walls thereof and the doors thereof, with gold, —and he carved cherubim upon 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.

And he made the most holy house, the length whereof, was, according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and, the breadth thereof, twenty cubits, —and he covered it with fine gold, to [the number of] six hundred talents;

9 Sikagatagbadzɛ siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔ la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒe kpekpeme nye gram alafa atɔ̃ blaadre. Wofa sika ɖe xɔtaxɔawo hã me.

and, the weight of the nails, amounted to fifty shekels of gold, —and, the upper chambers, covered he 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.

And he made, in the most holy house, two cherubim, of carved work, —and covered 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.

And, as for the wings of the cherubim, the length of them, was twenty cubits, —the one wing, by the cubit was five, reaching to the wall of the house, and, the other wing, five cubits, reaching to 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.

and, the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house, —and, the other wing, was five cubits, cleaving to the wing of the other cherub:

13 Kerubi eveawo ƒe aʋalawo didi mita ewo. Wole tsitrenu eye wodze ŋgɔ xɔ gã la.

the wings of these cherubim, outspread, were twenty cubits, —and, they themselves, were standing upon their feet, and, their faces, were inward.

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.

And he made a vail, of blue and purple, and crimson and byssus cloth, —and raised thereon cherubim.

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.

And he made, for the front of the house, two pillars, thirty five cubits in length, —and, the capital which was upon the top of each, was five cubits.

16 Ewɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔwo da ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la, le sɔtiawo tame eye wòtsi yevuboɖa alafa ɖeka ɖe kɔsɔkɔsɔawo ŋu.

And he made wreathen chains in the shrine, and put them upon the top of the pillars, —and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them in the chains,

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.

And he reared up the pillars in front of the temple, one, on the right, and, one, on the left, —and called the name of that on the right hand, Jachin, and the name of that on the left, Boaz.
