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.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.
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 house which King Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
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 porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4 Osi pou kay la li te fè fenèt avèk ankadreman atizan yo.
He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
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 wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
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 floor was five cubits wide, and 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, that the beams should not be inserted into 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, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
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.
The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
9 Konsa, li te bati kay la e te fin fè l. Li te kouvri kay la avèk travès ak planch sèd.
So he built the house and finished it; and 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 floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Salomon e te di:
Yahweh’s word 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 house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke 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 dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
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.
He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. 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 of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17 Pa devan sanktyè tanp la te karant koude nan longè.
In front of the temple sanctuary 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 on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
19 Li te prepare yon sanktyè enteryè anndan kay la pou l te kab plase la, lach akò SENYÈ a.
He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant 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.
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
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.
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it 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 whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
23 Nan sanktyè enteryè a, li te fè de cheriben ak bwa doliv, yo chak nan dis koude wotè.
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
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.
Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
25 Lòt cheriben an te dis koude. Toude cheriben yo te menm mezi avèk menm fòm.
The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 Wotè a yon cheriben se te dis koude e lòt cheriben an te menm jan an.
One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.
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.
He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28 Li te kouvri cheriben yo avèk lò.
He 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 with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30 Li te kouvri planch atè yo avèk lò, nan sanktyè enteryè avèk eksteryè a.
He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
31 Nan antre sanktyè enteryè a, li te fè pòt avèk bwa doliv, ankadreman chanbrann nan avèk poto pòtay yo an senk fas.
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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 olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
33 Anplis, li te fè poto yo an kat fas avèk bwa doliv la pou gran antre eksteryè a,
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
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 cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36 Li te bati galeri enteryè a avèk twa ranje wòch taye ak yon ranje travès fèt an sèd.
He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
37 Nan katriyèm ane a, nan mwa Ziv la, fondasyon kay SENYÈ a te fin poze.
The foundation of Yahweh’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month 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 Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
