1 Bakonzi 6
1 Salomo abandaki kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe sima na mibu nkama minei na mwambe, wuta Isalaele abimaki na Ejipito, mobu oyo ekokanaki na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi na ye kati na Isalaele, na sanza ya zivi.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.
2 Tempelo oyo Salomo atongaki mpo na Yawe ezalaki na bametele pene tuku misato na molayi, bametele pene zomi na mokuse mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na bosanda.
And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Liboso ya Tempelo, na liboso ya eteni oyo eleki monene kati na Tempelo, ezalaki na ndako moko ya moke ya kokotela oyo ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mokuse; molayi na yango ezalaki ndenge moko na mokuse ya Tempelo; mpe ekota na kati na bametele pene mitano.
And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.
4 Atiaki na bamir ya Tempelo maninisa oyo batia biyungulu.
And he made in the temple oblique windows.
5 Atongaki pembeni ya bamir ya eteni oyo eleki monene kati na Tempelo mpe pembeni ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule biteni ya mike, ngambo na ngambo, na lolenge ya etaje.
And upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.
6 Etaje oyo ya se ya biteni yango ya mike ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse; etaje ya kati-kati, bametele pene misato na mokuse; mpe etaje oyo ya misato, bametele misato na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse. Boye bamir ya libanda ya Tempelo etikalaki lisusu minene te na likolo mpo ete motondo ebebisa bamir ya Tempelo te.
The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.
7 Mpo na kotonga Tempelo, basalelaki kaka mabanga oyo ebongisamaki malamu wuta na esika oyo bapasolaki yango; boye, esalaki ete makelele ya marto, ya epasola to ya esalelo mosusu ya ebende etikalaki koyokana te wana bazalaki kotonga yango.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.
8 Ekotelo ya etaje ya se ezalaki na ngambo ya sude ya Tempelo; bongo, bazalaki kotambola na binyatelo mpo na komata na etaje ya kati-kati mpe na etaje ya misato.
The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.
9 Tango Salomo asilisaki misala ya kotonga Tempelo, azipaki yango na plafon oyo esimbamaki na mabaya minene ya banzete ya sedele.
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
10 Atongaki ba-etaje kolanda mir ya Tempelo: etaje moko na moko ezalaki na bosanda ya bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, mpe ekanganaki na Tempelo na nzela ya mabaya minene ya sedele mpo na kosimba motondo.
And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
11 Yawe alobaki na Salomo:
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 — Na likambo oyo etali Tempelo oyo ozali kotonga, soki olandi bikateli na Ngai, soki okokisi malako na Ngai, soki otosi mpe olandi mibeko na Ngai nyonso, nakokokisa na nzela na yo elaka oyo napesaki na Davidi, tata na yo.
This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfill my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.
13 Mpe nakoya kovanda kati na bato ya Isalaele mpe nakosundola te bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Salomo atongaki Tempelo mpe asilisaki misala na yango ya kotonga.
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Alatisaki bamir ya kati ya Tempelo na mabaya ya sedele, kobanda na se kino na likolo, mpe atiaki mabaya ya sipele na mabele ya Tempelo.
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 Atongaki na mabaya ya sedele, kobanda na se kino na likolo, etando ya bametele pene zomi kati na Tempelo; abongisaki yango mpo ete ezala Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.
17 Eteni oyo elekaki monene kati na Tempelo, liboso ete okoma na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale.
And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.
18 Batobolaki bililingi na mabaya ya sedele oyo balatisaki na bamir ya kati ya Tempelo, mpo na kotia bilembo oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya bakolokente mpe ya bafololo efungwama; balatisaki kati nyonso ya Tempelo na mabaya ya banzete ya sedele, mpe ata libanga moko te ezalaki komonana.
And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.
19 Salomo abongisaki Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpo na kotia Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 Molayi ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule ezalaki na bametele pene zomi, mokuse na yango, bametele pene zomi; bongo bosanda na yango, bametele pene zomi. Salomo abambaki kati na yango wolo ya peto; abambaki lisusu wolo na etumbelo oyo basala na mabaya ya banzete ya sedele.
Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.
21 Salomo abambaki wolo ya peto na kati nyonso ya Tempelo; atiaki basheni ya wolo liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.
22 Boye, abambaki wolo na kati nyonso ya Tempelo mpe na etumbelo oyo ezalaki liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.
23 Kati na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, asalaki na nzete ya olive bililingi mibale ya basheribe: sheribe moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene mitano na molayi.
And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Lipapu moko ya sheribe ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano; kosangisa mapapu nyonso mibale epesaki bametele mitano, kobanda na songe moko kino na songe mosusu.
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
25 Molayi ya sheribe ya mibale ezalaki mpe na bametele pene mitano. Bililingi ya basheribe nyonso mibale ezalaki lolenge moko mpe molayi moko.
The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
26 Bosanda ya bililingi nyonso mibale ya basheribe ezalaki ndenge moko: bametele pene mitano.
That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
27 Salomo atiaki bililingi ya basheribe yango na kati-kati ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule kati na Tempelo. Mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki ya kofungwama: lipapu moko ya sheribe ya liboso etutaki mir, mpe lipapu mosusu ya sheribe ya mibale etutaki mir mosusu; mpe mapapu na bango mibale mosusu etutanaki na kati-kati ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.
28 Salomo abambaki basheribe yango wolo.
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29 Atobolaki na bamir oyo ezingelaki Tempelo, ezala na kati to na libanda, bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama.
And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.
30 Abambaki lisusu wolo na se ya Tempelo, ezala na kati to na libanda ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Salomo asalaki na mabaya ya banzete ya olive, na ekotelo ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, ekuke moko ya bizipelo mibale: monene ya kadre ya mabaya ya ekuke ezwaki ndambo moko kati na bandambo mitano ya mokuse ya mir.
And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
32 Atobolaki bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama na bizipelo nyonso mibale oyo basalaki na mabaya ya banzete ya olive; abambaki wolo oyo balekisa na moto na bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama.
And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.
33 Asalaki mpe ndenge moko mpo na ekotelo ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene: kadre na mabaya ya banzete ya olive, bizipelo mibale na mabaya ya banzete ya sipele. Monene na yango ezwaki ndambo moko kati na bandambo minei ya mokuse ya mir.
And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
34 Asalaki lisusu na mabaya ya sipele bizipelo mibale; ezipelo ya liboso ezalaki na biteni ya mabaya mibale oyo ebalukaka, mpe ezipelo ya mibale ezalaki na barido mibale oyo ebalukaka.
And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.
35 Atobolaki likolo na yango bililingi ya basheribe, ya banzete ya mbila mpe ya bafololo ya kofungwama; mpe abambaki yango wolo na kolanda bandelo ya bililingi yango.
And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
36 Salomo azingelaki lopango ya kati na mir oyo batonga na milongo misato ya mabanga bakata mpe bamatisa moko likolo ya mosusu, mpe na molongo moko ya mabaya minene ya sedele mpo na kosimba motondo.
And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
37 Moboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe etiamaki na mobu ya minei, na sanza ya Zivi.
In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
38 Basilisaki kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe elongo na biteni na yango nyonso na sanza ya Buli oyo ezali sanza ya mwambe, na mobu ya zomi na moko. Salomo asalaki mibu sambo mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe.
And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.
