< 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 to build the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to David his father. He prepared the place that David had planned for it, at the 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.
He began to build on the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
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.
Now these are the dimensions of the foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God. Using the old style cubit, the length was sixty cubits, and the width was twenty cubits.
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 length of the portico at the front of the house was twenty cubits, matching the building's width. Its height was also twenty cubits, and Solomon overlaid its interior 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 fashioned the ceiling of the main hall with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold, and which he carved with palm trees and chains.
6 Abambaki mabanga ya talo mpo na kokomisa yango kitoko. Wolo oyo asalelaki ezalaki wolo ya Parivayimi.
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 Apakolaki wolo na motondo, na bikuke, na bamir, mpe atobolaki bililingi ya basheribe na bamir.
He also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its 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 built the most holy place. Its length matched the house's width, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
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 fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid its high surfaces with gold.
10 Atiaki bililingi ya basheribe mibale kati na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpe apakolaki yango wolo.
He made two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen overlaid them 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 wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits long all together; the wing of one cherub was five cubits long, reaching to the wall of the room; the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other 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.
The wing of the other cherub was also five cubits, reaching to the wall of the room; its other wing was also five cubits, touching the wing of 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.
The wings of these cherubs spread a total of twenty cubits. The cherubs stood on their feet, with their faces toward the main hall.
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 curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs 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.
Solomon also made two pillars, each thirty-five cubits high, for in front of the house; the capitals that were on the top of them were 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 for the pillars and put them on top of them; he also made one hundred pomegranates and joined them to the chains.
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 pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; he named the pillar on the right Jakin, and the pillar on the left Boaz.
