2 Masolo ya Kala 3
1 Salomo abandaki kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe kati na Yelusalemi, na likolo ya ngomba Morija epai wapi Yawe abimelaki Davidi, tata na ye, mpe kaka na esika oyo Davidi abongisaki na etando ya Orinani, moto ya Yebusi.
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 Abandaki kotonga na mokolo ya mibale ya sanza ya mibale, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi na ye.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in his fourth year as king.
3 Moboko oyo Salomo asalaki mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Nzambe ezalaki na bametele pene tuku misato na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi, na mokuse.
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 Ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo ya Yawe ezalaki na bametele pene zomi, na bosanda, mpe bametele pene zomi, na mokuse. Apakolaki wolo ya peto kati na yango.
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 Babetaki mabaya ya sipele na bamir ya eteni oyo eleki monene mpe abambaki wolo ya peto na likolo na yango. Asalaki bililingi ya nzete ya mbila mpe ya basinga elingama-lingama lokola basheni.
He paneled the main room with cypress overlaid with fine gold, with images of palm trees and chains.
6 Abambaki mabanga ya talo mpo na kokomisa yango kitoko. Wolo oyo asalelaki ezalaki wolo ya Parivayimi.
He decorated the Temple with beautiful gems, and with gold he imported from Parvaim.
7 Apakolaki wolo na motondo, na bikuke, na bamir, mpe atobolaki bililingi ya basheribe na bamir.
He covered the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors of the Temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 Atongaki Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule; molayi na yango ekokanaki na mokuse ya Tempelo ya Yawe: bametele pene zomi, na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi, na mokuse. Apakolaki wolo ya peto ya bakilo pene nkoto tuku mibale kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
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 Basete oyo basalelaki ezalaki ya wolo, mpe ezalaki ya bagrame nkama motoba. Apakolaki lisusu wolo na bashambre ya likolo.
The weight of the nails was one shekel for every fifty shekels of gold.
10 Atiaki bililingi ya basheribe mibale kati na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpe apakolaki yango wolo.
He made for the Most Holy Place two wooden cherubim covered with gold.
11 Mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na molayi. Lipapu ya sheribe ya liboso ezalaki na molayi ya bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, mpe etutaki mir ya Tempelo ya Yawe; bongo lipapu na ye mosusu, oyo ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, etutaki lipapu ya sheribe ya mibale, oyo ezalaki mpe na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano.
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 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na lipapu ya sheribe ya mibale, oyo ezalaki na molayi ya bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano: etutaki mir mosusu ya Tempelo ya Yawe; mpe lipapu mosusu oyo ezalaki na molayi ya bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano etutaki lipapu ya sheribe ya liboso.
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 Mapapu ya basheribe yango ezalaki ya kofungwama na molayi ya bametele pene zomi. Basheribe nyonso mibale batelemaki na makolo na bango, mpe bilongi na bango ezalaki kotala na ngambo ya kati ya Esika ya bule.
So the wingspan of these cherubim together was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Asalaki rido ya lino, ya langi ya ble, ya motane ya pete mpe ya motane makasi, mpe atongaki bililingi ya basheribe na likolo na yango.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson embroidery on fine linen, with images of cherubim on it.
15 Na liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe, atongaki makonzi mibale oyo ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na sambo na bosanda. Na likolo ya likonzi moko na moko, ezalaki na moto ya bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano.
He made two columns for the front of the Temple, thirty-five cubits, each having a capital five cubits high.
16 Asalaki bililingi ya basinga elingama-lingama lokola basheni mpe atiaki yango na mito ya makonzi; asalaki lisusu bililingi ya bambuma nkama moko ya grenade, mpe akangisaki yango na bililingi ya basinga elingama-lingama lokola basheni.
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 Mpe atongaki makonzi liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe: moko na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, mpe mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali. Abengaki likonzi ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi Yakini, mpe oyo ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, Boazi.
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.
