1 Wa 6
1 Alò, li te vin rive nan kat-san-katreven ane apre fis Israël yo te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, nan katriyèm ane règn Salomon sou Israël la, nan mwa Ziv la, sa se dezyèm mwa a, ke li te kòmanse bati lakay SENYÈ a.
So Solomon began to build the temple of Yahweh. This happened in the 480th year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month.
2 Selon kay ke Salomon te bati pou SENYÈ a, longè li te swasant koude, lajè li te ven koude e wotè li, trant koude.
The temple that King Solomon built for Yahweh was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
3 Galeri pa devan antre kay la te ven koude nan longè, ki te koresponn avèk lajè kay la e pwofondè devan kay la te dis koude.
The portico in front of the temple's main hall was twenty cubits in length, equal to the width of the temple, and ten cubits deep in front of the temple.
4 Osi pou kay la li te fè fenèt avèk ankadreman atizan yo.
For the house he made windows with frames that made them more narrow at the outside than on the inside.
5 Kont mi kay la, li te bati etaj won ki te antoure mi kay la nèt, ni pa devan, avèk sanktyè enteryè a; konsa, li te fè chanm yo toupatou.
Against the walls of the main chamber he built rooms around it, around both the outer room and the inner room. He built rooms all around the sides.
6 Etaj pi ba a te senk koude nan lajè, mitan an te sis koude nan lajè e twazyèm nan te sèt koude nan lajè. Paske pa deyò, li te fè retrè pou travès yo pa fonse antre nan miray kay la.
The lowest story was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide. For on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around so that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.
7 Kay la, pandan li t ap bati, te bati avèk wòch ki te taye kote yo te fè min wòch. Pa t gen mato, ni rach, ni okenn zouti an fè ki te konn tande nan kay la pandan li t ap bati.
The house was built of stones prepared at the quarry. No hammer, ax, or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 Pòtay chanm akote piba a te sou kote dwat a kay la. Epi yo te konn monte pa eskalye ki te fè won pou rive nan etaj mitan an e soti nan mitan an a nan twazyèm nan.
On the south side of the temple there was an entrance at the ground level, then one went up by stairs to the middle level, and from the middle to the third level.
9 Konsa, li te bati kay la e te fin fè l. Li te kouvri kay la avèk travès ak planch sèd.
So Solomon built the temple and finished it; he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10 Li te bati anplis etaj ki te kont tout kay la, yo chak nan wotè a senk koude. Yo te tache nan kay la avèk bwa sèd.
He built the side rooms against the inner chambers of the temple, each side five cubits high; they were joined to the house with timbers of cedar.
11 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Salomon e te di:
The word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,
12 “Kay sa a ke w ap bati a, si ou va mache nan règleman Mwen yo, egzekite lòd Mwen yo, kenbe tout kòmandman Mwen yo e mache ladan yo, alò, mwen va fin konplete pawòl ke M te pale a David, papa ou a, avèk ou.
“Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in my statutes and do justice, keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will confirm my promise with you that I had made to David your father.
13 Mwen va vin viv pami fis Israël yo e Mwen p ap janm kite pèp mwen an, Israël.”
I will live among the people of Israel and will not forsake them.”
14 Konsa, Salomon te bati kay la e te fini avèk li.
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Li te bati mi kay la pa anndan avèk planch sèd. Soti atè jis rive nan plafon an, li te kouvri mi anndan yo avèk bwa e li te kouvri tout atè kay la avèk planch bwa pichpen.
Then he built the interior walls of the house with boards of cedar. From the floor of the house to the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood, and he covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
16 Li te bati ven koude nan kote dèyè kay la avèk planch sèd soti atè a jis rive nan plafon an. Li te bati yo pou li sou anndan kòm yon sanktyè enteryè, menm kote ki pi sen an.
He built twenty cubits onto the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this room to be the inner room, the most holy place.
17 Pa devan sanktyè tanp la te karant koude nan longè.
The main hall, that is, the holy place that was in front of the most holy place, was forty cubits long.
18 Te gen bwa sèd sou kay la anndan, taye nan fòm a kalbas avèk flè ki louvri nèt. Tout te fèt an sèd. Pa t gen wòch ki te vizib.
There was cedar inside the house, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers. All was cedar inside. No stonework was visible on the inside.
19 Li te prepare yon sanktyè enteryè anndan kay la pou l te kab plase la, lach akò SENYÈ a.
Solomon prepared the inner room inside the house in order to place the ark of the covenant of Yahweh there.
20 Sanktyè enteryè a te ven koude nan longè, ven koude nan lajè ak ven koude nan wotè. Li te kouvri li nèt avèk lò pi. Li te kouvri lotèl la avèk sèd.
The inner room was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. Solomon overlaid the walls with pure gold and covered the altar with cedar wood.
21 Konsa, Salomon te kouvri anndan kay la avèk lò pi. Li te fè chenn an lò travèse pati devan nan sanktyè enteryè a, e li te kouvri li avèk lò.
Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he placed chains of gold across the front of the inner room, and overlaid the front with gold.
22 Li te kouvri tout kay la avèk lò jiskaske tout kay la te fini. Osi, tout lotèl ki te akote sanktyè enteryè li a te kouvri avèk lò.
He overlaid the entire interior with gold until all the temple was finished. He also overlaid with gold the whole altar that belonged to the inner room.
23 Nan sanktyè enteryè a, li te fè de cheriben ak bwa doliv, yo chak nan dis koude wotè.
Solomon made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high, for the inner room.
24 Yon zèl nan cheriben an te senk koude e lòt la te senk koude. Soti nan pwent a yon zèl jis rive nan pwent a lòt zèl la se te dis koude.
One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and its other wing was also five cubits long. So from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other there was a distance of ten cubits.
25 Lòt cheriben an te dis koude. Toude cheriben yo te menm mezi avèk menm fòm.
The other cherub also had a wingspan ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of the same dimensions and shape.
26 Wotè a yon cheriben se te dis koude e lòt cheriben an te menm jan an.
The height of one cherub was ten cubits and the other cherub was the same.
27 Li te plase cheriben yo nan mitan kay enteryè a. Zèl a cheriben yo te lonje tou louvri, jiskaske zèl a youn te touche mi an, e zèl a lòt cheriben an te touche lòt mi an. Konsa, zèl a chak nan yo te touche zèl a lòt la nan mitan kay la.
Solomon placed the cherubim in the innermost room. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out so that the wing of one touched one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. Their wings touched one another in the middle of the most holy place.
28 Li te kouvri cheriben yo avèk lò.
Solomon overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Epi li te grave tout mi nan kay yo toupatou avèk cheriben yo, pye palmis ak flè louvri yo grave nan sanktyè enteryè ansanm ak eksteryè yo.
He carved all the walls of the house around about with figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, in the outer and inner rooms.
30 Li te kouvri planch atè yo avèk lò, nan sanktyè enteryè avèk eksteryè a.
Solomon overlaid the floor of the house with gold, in both the outer and inner rooms.
31 Nan antre sanktyè enteryè a, li te fè pòt avèk bwa doliv, ankadreman chanbrann nan avèk poto pòtay yo an senk fas.
Solomon made doors of olivewood for the entrance to the inner room. The lintel and doorposts had five indented sections.
32 Konsa, li te fè de pòt avèk bwa doliv la e li te grave sou yo cheriben grave yo, pye palmis yo, avèk flè louvri yo. Li te kouvri yo avèk lò. Epi li te gaye lò a sou cheriben yo avèk pye palmis yo.
So he made two doors of olivewood, and he made on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and he spread the gold on the cherubim and palm trees.
33 Anplis, li te fè poto yo an kat fas avèk bwa doliv la pou gran antre eksteryè a,
In this way, Solomon also made for the temple entrance doorposts of olive wood having four indented sections
34 epi de pòt an bwa siprè; de mwatye a yon pòt ki vire sou pivo e de mwatye sou lòt pòt la te vire sou pivo.
and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 Li te grave sou li cheriben yo, pye palmis ak flè louvri yo; epi li te kouvri yo avèk lò aplike nan menm fòs toupatou.
He carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he evenly overlaid gold on the carved work.
36 Li te bati galeri enteryè a avèk twa ranje wòch taye ak yon ranje travès fèt an sèd.
He built the inner courtyard with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.
37 Nan katriyèm ane a, nan mwa Ziv la, fondasyon kay SENYÈ a te fin poze.
The foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.
38 Nan onzyèm ane a, nan mwa Bul la, ki se uityèm mwa a, kay la te fini nan tout pati li e selon plan pa li a. Konsa, li te bati pandan sèt ane.
In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts and conforming to all its specifications. Solomon took seven years to build the temple.
