1 Wa 6
1 Lè sa a te gen katsankatreven (480) lanne depi pèp Izrayèl la te soti kite peyi Lejip, Salomon te gen katran depi li t'ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Nan mwa Ziv la, ki dezyèm mwa nan kalandriye jwif yo, Salomon mete men nan bati kay Seyè a.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.
2 Kay wa Salomon bati pou Seyè a te gen katrevendis pye longè, trant pye lajè ak karantsenk pye wotè.
The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.
3 Premye pyès devan an te gen kenz pye longè, trant pye lajè. Li te menm lajè ak kay la.
The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide in front of the house.
4 Miray tanp lan te gen fennèt ak griyaj bare yo.
And for the house he made windows, with network across.
5 Kole kole ak miray yo, sou de sou kote yo ak sou dèyè Tanp lan ak pyès dèyè a, li fè bati twa ran pyès, yonn sou lòt. Chak etaj te gen sèt pye edmi wotè.
And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:
6 Chak pyès nan dènye etaj anba a te gen sèt pye edmi lajè. Pyès nan etaj mitan an te gen nèf pye lajè ak pyès nan etaj anwo nèt la te gen dis pye edmi. Miray tanp lan menm te pi laj anba pase anwo. Konsa, gwo travès plafon yo te chita sou miray yo san yo pa t' bezwen fouye twou ladan yo.
The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.
7 Wòch yo te sèvi pou bati Tanp lan te pare depi nan min wòch kote yo te jwenn yo a. Konsa, pandan yo t'ap bati Tanp lan pa t' gen ankenn bri mato, bri sizo, ni bri ankenn zouti fè.
(And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)
8 Pòt pou antre nan premye chanm anba yo te bay sou bò sid Tanp lan. Te gen eskalye pou moute nan premye ak nan dezyèm etaj yo.
The door to the lowest side rooms was in the right side of the house; and they went up by twisting steps into the middle rooms, and from the middle into the third.
9 Lè Salomon fin bati Tanp lan, li mete yon plafon fèt ak travès ak planch sèd.
So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.
10 Li bati pyès chanm yo tout arebò tanp lan. Chak etaj te gen sèt pye edmi wotè. Yo te kole kole ak miray kay la. Yo te mare sou miray la ak travès sèd.
And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.
11 Seyè a pale ak Salomon, li di l' konsa:
(And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12 -Lè w'a fin bati tanp lan, si ou mache dapre lòd mwen, si ou fè sa m' di ou fè, si ou kenbe tout kòmandman mwen yo, m'a fè pou ou tou sa mwen te pwomèt David, papa ou.
About this house which you are building: if you will keep my laws and give effect to my decisions and be guided by my rules, I will give effect to my word which I gave to David your father.
13 M'ap rete nan mitan peyi Izrayèl la, mwen p'ap janm lage yo.
And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.
14 Se konsa Salomon fin bati Tanp lan.
So Solomon made the building of the house complete.)
15 Tout miray yo te plake sou anndan ak planch sèd depi planche a rive nan plafon an. Planche a te fèt ak bwa pichpen.
The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.
16 Li bati sou dèyè tanp lan yon gwo pyès li rele Pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Pyès la te gen trant pye longè. Panno pyès la fèt ak planch sèd ki soti depi atè rive nan plafon an.
And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.
17 Pati tanp lan ki te devan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a te gen swasant pye longè.
And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.
18 Sou anndan, tout miray tanp lan te kouvri ak planch sèd, ou pa t' ka wè yon wòch. Planch sèd yo te travay ak desen flè ak ti kalbas sou tout kò yo.
(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)
19 Anndan Tanp lan, sou dèyè, li bati yon pyès apa pou Seyè a. Se la yo te mete Bwat Kontra Seyè a.
And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.
20 Pyès la te gen trant pye longè, trant pye lajè ak trant pye wotè. Li te kouvri nèt ak lò. Sou devan pyès la yo bati yon lotèl ak bwa sèd, lèfini yo te kouvri li nèt ak lò.
And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.
21 Tout miray anndan tanp lan te kouvri ak lò. Pyès apa nèt pou Seyè a te kouvri ak lò tou. Yo fè chenn lò pou fèmen pòt pyès ki apa pou Seyè a.
Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.
22 Konsa, tout anndan Tanp lan nèt ansanm ak lotèl ki te devan pyès ki apa pou Seyè a te kouvri nèt ak lò.
Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).
23 Apre sa, li fè fè de estati zanj cheriben yo an bwa oliv pou pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Chak estati te gen kenz pye wotè.
In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;
24 Chak zèl te mezire sèt pye edmi longè. Konsa, depi pwent yon zèl rive nan pwent lòt zèl la te gen kenz pye.
With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.
25 Tou de estati yo te gen menm fòm, menm gwosè.
The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.
26 Tou de te menm wotè, yo te gen kenz pye wotè.
The two of them were ten cubits high.
27 Salomon fè mete de estati yo anndan pyès ki apa pou Seyè a, kòtakòt, ak zèl yo louvri pou pwent zèl anndan yo touche yonn ak lòt nan mitan pyès la, de pwent zèl deyò yo touche ak de miray sou kote yo.
These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.
28 De estati ak zèl yo te kouvri nèt ak lò.
These winged ones were plated over with gold.
29 Sou tout miray anndan tanp lan te gen pòtre zanj cheriben, pòtre pye palmis ak pòtre flè yo te travay nan bwa a.
And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.
30 Menm planche a te kouvri ak lò anndan kou deyò.
And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.
31 Salomon fè mete yon pòt de batan fèt ak bwa oliv pou fèmen pyès apa pou Seyè a. Lento pòt la ak de montan yo te pran yon senkyèm nan ouvèti pòt la.
For the way into the inmost room he made doors of olive-wood, the arch and the door supports forming a five-sided opening.
32 Batan pòt yo te dekore ak pòtre zanj cheriben, pye palmis ak flè yo te travay nan bwa a. Tout pòt la ansanm ak pòtre yo te kouvri nèt ak lò.
On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.
33 Pòt pyès mitan Tanp lan te gen yon ankadreman fèt ak bwa oliv ki te pran yon ka nan ouvèti pòt la.
Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:
34 Pòt la menm te fèt an pichpen. Li te gen kat batan, de batan chak bò ki ka fèmen yonn sou lòt.
And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.
35 Batan pòt yo te dekore ak pòtre zanj cheriben, pye palmis ak flè yo te travay sou bwa a. Tout pòt la ansanm ak pòtre yo te kouvri nèt ak lò.
These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.
36 Li fè bati yon lakou fèmen devan Tanp lan. Miray lakou a te fèt ak yon ranje madriye sèd pou chak twa ranje wòch yonn sou lòt.
And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.
37 Se nan katriyèm lanne rèy Salomon, nan mwa Ziv la, yo te mete men nan fondasyon kay Seyè a.
In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, in the month Ziv.
38 Tanp lan te fin bati ak tout ti detay li yo, jan yo te fè plan an, nan onzyèm lanne rèy Salomon nan wityèm mwa kalandriye jwif yo, ki rele Boul. Salomon te pran sètan pou l' bati Tanp lan.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.
