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 going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto 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 unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty 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 the porch before the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
4 Atiaki na bamir ya Tempelo maninisa oyo batia biyungulu.
And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
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 he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: and he made side-chambers 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 nethermost gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing in the walls of the house.
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 entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while 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 [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into 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 covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards 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 the gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to 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 art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto 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 I will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Salomo atongaki Tempelo mpe asilisaki misala na yango ya kotonga.
So did Solomon build the house, and finish 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 within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards 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 the twenty cubits on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for 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 house, that is, the temple before it, 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 the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
19 Salomo abongisaki Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpo na kotia Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein 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.
And the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
21 Salomo abambaki wolo ya peto na kati nyonso ya Tempelo; atiaki basheni ya wolo liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 Boye, abambaki wolo na kati nyonso ya Tempelo mpe na etumbelo oyo ezalaki liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay 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 within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-wood, each ten cubits high.
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.
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
25 Molayi ya sheribe ya mibale ezalaki mpe na bametele pene mitano. Bililingi ya basheribe nyonso mibale ezalaki lolenge moko mpe molayi moko.
And the other cherub was also ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 Bosanda ya bililingi nyonso mibale ya basheribe ezalaki ndenge moko: bametele pene mitano.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so that of 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 cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, 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 toward the middle of the house touched one another.
28 Salomo abambaki basheribe yango wolo.
And he overlaid the cherubim 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 on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
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 overlaid with gold for the debir and for the temple.
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 for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming five sides.
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 also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
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.
So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
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-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which were folding.
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 thereon cherubim, and palm-trees and opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved work.
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 of three rows of hewn stone, and one row of cedar beams.
37 Moboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe etiamaki na mobu ya minei, na sanza ya Zivi.
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Ziv;
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, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it seven years.
