2 Istwa 3
1 Alò, Salomon te kòmanse bati lakay SENYÈ a Jérusalem sou Mòn Moriah, kote SENYÈ a te parèt a papa li a, David, nan plas ke David te prepare sou glasi vannen ki te pou Ornan, Jebizyen an.
Then Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had provided—the former threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Li te kòmanse bati nan dezyèm jou, nan dezyèm mwa nan katriyèm ane règn pa li a.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in his fourth year as king.
3 Alò, sila yo se fondasyon ke Salomon te poze pou konstriksyon kay Bondye a. Longè a an koude, selon mezi ansyen an te swasant koude e lajè a te ven koude.
The size of the foundation Solomon laid for the Temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, (according to the old cubit measurement).
4 Galri ki te devan kay la te menm longè avèk lajè kay la, ven koude e wotè a san-ven. Pa anndan li te kouvri kay la avèk yon kouch lò pi.
The front porch that ran across the width of the Temple was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He covered the inside of the porch with pure gold.
5 Li te kouvri gran chanm nan avèk bwa sipre. Li te fè kouvri li ak lò fen e te dekore li avèk pye palmis avèk chenn.
He paneled the main room with cypress overlaid with fine gold, with images of palm trees and chains.
6 Anplis, li te dekore kay la avèk pyè presye. Lò a te lò sòti Parvaïm.
He decorated the Temple with beautiful gems, and with gold he imported from Parvaim.
7 Anplis, li te kouvri kay la avèk yon kouch lò—travès yo, chanbrann yo, mi li yo, avèk pòtay li yo, epi li te grave cheriben yo sou mi yo.
He covered the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors of the Temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 Alò, li te fè chanm ki pi sen pase tout lòt yo. Longè li ki te travèse lajè kay la, te ven koude, e lajè li te ven koude. Li te kouvri li avèk lò fen, ki te rive jis nan sis-san talan lò.
He made the room of the Most Holy Place to correspond with the width of the Temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He covered the interior with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Pwa a klou yo te senkant sik an lò. Anplis, li te kouvri chanm anlè yo avèk lò.
The weight of the nails was one shekel for every fifty shekels of gold.
10 Li te fè de cheriben skilpte nan chanm ki sen pase tout lòt yo a e li te kouvri yo avèk lò.
He made for the Most Holy Place two wooden cherubim covered with gold.
11 Distans zèl ouvri pou de cheriben yo te ven koude. Zèl a youn te fè senk koude pou touche mi kay la e lòt zèl la senk koude te touche pwent zèl a lòt cheriben an.
The wingspan of the cherubim together was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the second cherub.
12 Zèl a lòt cheriben an, a senk koude, te touche mi kay la, epi lòt zèl senk koude a te tache a zèl premye cheriben an.
In similar fashion, one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched one Temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, and touched the first cherub.
13 Zèl a cheriben sila yo te lonje pou ven koude, e yo te kanpe sou pye yo avèk fas yo vè gran chanm nan.
So the wingspan of these cherubim together was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Li te fè vwal la avèk len vyolèt, mov, wouj, e li te fè desen cheriben yo sou li.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson embroidery on fine linen, with images of cherubim on it.
15 Anplis, li te fè de pilye pou devan kay la, trann-senk koude nan wotè e tèt anlè a sou chak te senk koude.
He made two columns for the front of the Temple, thirty-five cubits, each having a capital five cubits high.
16 Li te fè chenn nan sanktyè enteryè a. Li te plase yo sou tèt pilye yo. Li te fè san grenad e te mete yo sou chenn yo.
He made chains like in the Most Holy Place and he placed them on top of the columns. He also made one hundred ornamental pomegranates and attached them to each chain.
17 Li te leve pilye yo pa devan tanp lan, youn adwat e lòt la agoch, epi li te rele sila adwat la Jakin e sila agoch la Boaz.
He set up the columns in front of the Temple, one on the south, and one on the north. The column on the south he named Jachin, and the column on the north he named Boaz.
