1 Wa 7
1 Alò, Salomon te bati pwòp kay pa li pandan trèz ane, e li te fini tout kay li a nèt.
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 Li te bati kay la avèk materyo forè Liban an. Longè li te san koude, lajè li te senkant koude e wotè li te trant koude, sou kat ranje pilye yo fèt an sèd avèk travès sèd sou pilye yo.
One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
3 Li te mete pano an sèd yo anwo chanm akote ki te sou karant-senk pilye yo, kenz nan chak ranje.
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 Te gen fenèt ki te dekore an twa ranje ak fenèt ki te opoze a fenèt yo an twa ranje.
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 Tout pòtay avèk poto pòt yo te gen ankadreman kare, byen dekore e fenèt yo te opoze a pòt yo an twa ranje.
All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
6 Li te fè galeri a avèk pilye yo. Longè li te senkant koude, lajè li te trant koude e yon galeri te devan yo avèk pilye avèk yon pòtay antre pa devan yo.
They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
7 Li te fè sal twòn kote li ta jije moun nan, sal jijman an, e atè a te kouvri avèk pano sèd soti nan yon bò pou rive nan lòt la.
Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
8 Kay kote li t ap viv nan lòt lakou anndan an te fèt avèk menm kalite travay la. Li te osi fè yon kay tankou sal sila a pou fi a Farawon an, avèk sila li te marye a.
In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
9 Tout sa yo se te avèk wòch presye avèk wòch ki te koupe sou mezi, ki te siye avèk si, anndan kon deyò; menm soti nan fondasyon an jis rive anba twati yo e menm jan an, sou eksteryè a rive nan gran lakou a.
All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
10 Fondasyon an te fèt avèk wòch presye, gwo wòch, wòch nan dis koude ak wòch nan uit koude.
The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
11 Anwo se te wòch presye ki te koupe sou mezi, ansanm ak bwa sèd.
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 Konsa, gran lakou toutotou a te gen twa ranje wòch koupe ak yon ranje travès sèd; menm jan avèk lakou enteryè lakay SENYÈ a ak galri kay la.
The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
13 Alò, Wa Salomon te voye mennen Hiram soti Tyr.
There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
14 Li te fis a yon vèv soti nan tribi Nephtali e papa li te yon moun Tyr, yon travayè nan bwonz. Li te ranpli avèk sajès avèk konprann ak kapasite pou fè nenpòt kalite èv an bwonz. Konsa li te vini a Wa Salomon pou te fè tout travay li yo.
15 Li te fòme de pilye an bwonz yo, dizuit koude se te wotè a chak pilye e yon lign a douz koude te mezire distans antoure won a toude.
He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16 Li osi te fè de tèt kouvèti an bwonz fonn pou plase sou tèt a pilye yo. Wotè a yon tèt kouvèti te senk koude e wotè a lòt tèt kouvèti a te senk koude.
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 Te gen yon sistèm rezo fèt avèk chenn an fil tòde pou tèt kouvèti ki te sou tèt pilye yo: sèt pou yon tèt kouvèti e sèt pou lòt tèt kouvèti a.
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 Konsa, li te fè pilye yo: te gen de ranje antoure youn nan sistèm rezo yo pou kouvri tèt kouvèti ki te anwo grenad yo; epi se konsa li te fè pou lòt tèt kouvèti a.
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 Tèt kouvèti ki te sou tèt pilye nan galeri yo te fèt ak desen flè lis, nan lajè kat koude.
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 Te gen tèt kouvèti yo sou de pilye yo, antoure avèk de-san grenad an ranje won ki pa an wo a chak tèt kouvèti, toupre rezo a. Epi de-san grenad te ranje toutotou de toulède tèt kouvèti yo.
These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
21 Konsa, li te ranje pilye yo sou galeri gran chanm nan. Epi li te monte pilye adwat la e li te rele li Jakin; li te monte pilye agoch la e li te rele li Boaz.
His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
22 Sou tèt pilye yo se te yon desen flè lis. Se konsa èv pilye yo te fini.
The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
23 Alò, li te fè fòm lanmè fonde an metal dis koude soti nan yon bò a yon lòt, an fòm tou won e wotè li se te senk koude ak trant koude ki pou antoure l.
Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
24 Anba bò li a, kalbas yo te antoure li tou won, dis nan chak koude e te antoure lanmè a nèt. Kalbas yo te an de ranje, fonde ansanm avèk tout lòt bagay.
Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
25 Lanmè a te kanpe sou douz bèf, twa avèk fas vè nò, twa avèk fas vè lwès, twa avèk fas vè sid e twa avèk fas vè lès. Li te poze sou yo e tout pati dèyè yo te vè anndan.
Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
26 Gwosè li te mezi a yon pla men pwès e arebò li te fèt tankou arebò a yon tas, tankou yon flè lis. Li te kab kenbe kantite volim a de mil bat.
The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
27 Anplis, li te fè dis baz yo an bwonz. Longè a chak baz te kat koude, lajè li se te kat koude e wotè li se te twa koude.
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 Sila a se te desen a baz yo: yo te gen arebò, menm arebò antre ankadreman travès yo.
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 Epi sou arebò ki te antre ankadreman yo, te gen lyon yo, bèf yo, avèk cheriben yo. Sou ankadreman yo, te gen yon etaj anlè e anba lyon yo avèk bèf yo, te gen zèv atizan kouwòn ki te pann.
On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
30 Alò, chak baz te gen kat wou an bwonz avèk shaf an bwonz, kat pye li yo te gen soutyen yo. Anba basen an, te soutni sipò yo avèk gilann yo chak kote.
Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
31 Ouvèti li anndan tèt kouvèti pa anwo baz la te yon koude e ouvèti li a te won tankou desen a yon etaj won, yon koude-edmi; epi osi nan ouvèti li a, te grave desen yo, arebò yo te kare, yo pa t won.
On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
32 Kat wou yo te anba arebò yo e shaf a wou yo te sou baz la. Wotè a wou a te yon koude edmi.
The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
33 Kalite travay a wou yo te tankou kalite travay a yon wou cha. Shaf pa yo, jant yo, reyon yo e mitan wo a tout te fonde.
The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
34 Alò, te gen kat soutyen nan kat kwen a chak baz. Soutyen yo te yon pati nan baz la menm.
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 Anwo baz la te kanpe yon fòm fèt tou won, avèk wotè a yon mwatye koude. Sou tèt a baz la, soutyen pa li avèk arebò li yo te fèt tankou yon pati ladann.
There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
36 Li te grave sou plat a soutyen li yo, sou arebò li yo, cheriben yo, lyon yo ak pye palmis yo selon espas disponib nan chak, avèk kouwòn yo toutotou li.
The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
37 Li te fè dis baz yo konsa: yo tout te fonde menm jan; yon sèl mezi ak yon sèl fòm.
That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
38 Li te fè dis basen yo an bwonz, yon basen te kenbe karant bat 880 lit; chak basen te kat koude e nan chak nan dis baz yo, te gen yon basen.
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 Li te poze baz yo, senk sou kote dwat a kay la e senk sou kote goch a kay la. Li te poze lanmè an metal fonn nan sou kote dwat a kay la vè lès la, vè sid.
Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
40 Alò Hiram te fè basen sa yo, ansanm ak pèl ak bòl yo. Konsa, Hiram te fin fè tout èv ke li te fè pou Salomon lakay SENYÈ a:
Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
41 de pilye yo, de bòl pou tèt kouvèti ki te poze sou de pilye yo ak de sistèm rezo pou kouvri de bòl tèt kouvèti ki te sou tèt pilye yo.
the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
42 Anplis, li te mete kat-san grenad pou de sistèm rezo yo, de ranje grenad pou chak sistèm rezo, pou kouvri de tèt kouvèti ki te sou tèt pilye yo;
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 dis baz avèk dis basen yo sou baz yo;
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 yon sèl lanmè ak douz bèf anba lanmè a;
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 bokit yo avèk pèl yo ak tèt kouvèti yo. Menm tout zouti sila yo ke Hiram te fè pou Wa Salomon nan kay SENYÈ a te fèt avèk bwonz poli.
the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
46 Nan plèn Jourdain an, wa a te fonn yo, nan tè ajil la antre Succoth ak Tsarthan.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Salomon te kite tout veso yo san peze, paske yo te twòp. Pwa a bwonz lan pa t kab detèmine.
Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
48 Salomon te fè tout mèb ki te lakay SENYÈ a: lotèl an lò, tab an lò, sou sila pen a Prezans lan te ye a;
Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
49 chandelye yo, senk adwat e senk agoch, pa devan nan sanktyè enteryè a, avèk lò pi; epi flè yo avèk lanp yo avèk pensèt yo, tout te an lò.
the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
50 Epi tas yo avèk etoufè yo, bòl yo avèk kiyè yo ak plato an lò pi pou resevwa sann yo; epi chanyè pou toulède pòt kay enteryè yo, lye pi sen pase tout kote a, ak chanyè pou pòt kay la, sa vle di, gran sanktyè a, te an lò.
the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
51 Konsa, tout travay ke Wa Salomon te fè lakay SENYÈ a te fini. Epi Salomon te fè antre tout bagay ki te dedye pa papa li, David—ajan avèk lò ak zouti yo—li te mete yo nan trezò a lakay SENYÈ a.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
