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 to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 Li te kòmanse bati nan dezyèm jou, nan dezyèm mwa nan katriyèm ane règn pa li a.

And he began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

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.

Now these [are the things in which] Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure [was] sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

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.

And the porch that [was] in the front [of the house], the length [of it was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the hight [was] a hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within 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.

And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm trees and chains.

6 Anplis, li te dekore kay la avèk pyè presye. Lò a te lò sòti Parvaïm.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold [was] gold of 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 overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, with gold; and engraved 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.

And he made the most holy house, the length of which [was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, [amounting] to six hundred talents.

9 Pwa a klou yo te senkant sik an lò. Anplis, li te kouvri chanm anlè yo avèk lò.

And the weight of the nails [was] fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 Li te fè de cheriben skilpte nan chanm ki sen pase tout lòt yo a e li te kouvri yo avèk lò.

And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them 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.

And the wings of the cherubim [were] twenty cubits long: one wing [of the one cherub was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was likewise] five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other 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.

And [one] wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was] five cubits [also], joining to the wing of the other 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.

The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces [were] inward.

14 Li te fè vwal la avèk len vyolèt, mov, wouj, e li te fè desen cheriben yo sou li.

And he made the vail [of] blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim upon 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.

Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that [was] on the top of each of them [was] five cubits.

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.

And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made a hundred pomegranates, and put [them] on the chains.

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.

And he erected the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
