1 Moto yango amemaki ngai kati na eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene mpe amekaki molayi ya makonzi na yango: likonzi moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene misato na monene na bangambo nyonso.
He took me to the Temple and measured the posts as cubits wide on both sides.
2 Ekotelo na yango ezalaki na bametele pene mitano na mokuse, mpe bamir na yango ya mipanzi ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, ngambo na ngambo, na mokuse. Amekaki lisusu molayi ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na molayi mpe bametele pene zomi na mokuse.
The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits long on both sides. He measured the outer sanctuary as forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
3 Bongo akotaki kati na eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki bule; amekaki molayi ya makonzi ya ekotelo: moko na moko ezalaki na metele pene moko na mokuse; ekotelo ezalaki na bametele pene misato na mokuse mpe bamir ya mipanzi ya ekotelo ezalaki na bametele pene misato na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.
He went into the inner sanctuary and measured the entrance posts as two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on both sides were seven cubits wide.
4 Amekaki molayi ya eteni oyo ezalaki sima ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene: ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi na mokuse; mpe alobaki na ngai: « Oyo ezali Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule. »
He measured the room beside the inner sanctuary as twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He told me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
5 Amekaki lisusu monene ya mir ya Tempelo: ezalaki na bametele pene misato; mpe ngambo nyonso ya bashambre zingazinga ya Tempelo ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na mokuse.
He measured Temple wall as six cubits thick, and each side room around the Temple was four cubits wide.
6 Ezalaki na ba-etaje misato oyo moko na moko, kati na yango, ezalaki na bashambre tuku misato oyo esimbamaki na mir batonga zingazinga ya Tempelo. Bamir yango ezalaki ekangana yango na yango, kasi ezalaki ya kokangana na mir ya Tempelo te.
There were three levels of side rooms above one another, each having thirty rooms. The wall of the Temple had external supports for the side rooms, so that they would not be fixed into the wall of the Temple itself.
7 Longwa na etaje moko mpo na komata na etaje mosusu, bashambre ezalaki kokoma minene, pamba te bazalaki komata na etaje mosusu na ematelo oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya mir; boye, likolo ya ndako ezalaki monene makasi. Bongo, mpo na kolongwa na etaje oyo ya se mpe kokoma na etaje oyo ya likolo, esengelaki koleka na etaje ya kati-kati.
The side rooms around the Temple became wider at each higher level, because as the structure around the Temple went up the Temple wall grew narrower A stairway provided access from the bottom story to the top, going through the middle level.
8 Namonaki zingazinga ya Tempelo eloko moko batonga na likolo: ezalaki moboko ya bashambre; molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene misato.
I saw that the Temple was on a raised platform that surrounded it. This was the foundation for the side rooms. Its height was the complete length of a measuring rod, six long cubits.
9 Monene ya mir ya libanda ya bashambre ya mipanzi ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano. Nzela oyo ezalaki na kati-kati ya ngambo ya bashambre ya Tempelo
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and there was open space between the side rooms of the Temple
10 mpe bashambre ya Banganga-Nzambe ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mokuse na zingazinga ya Tempelo.
and the outer chambers that measured twenty cubits wide all round the Temple.
11 Bikuke ya bashambre ya Tempelo etalaki na nzela oyo ezalaki na bikotelo mibale: moko na ngambo ya nor mpe mosusu na ngambo ya sude. Mokuse ya nzela yango ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano.
The doors of the side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance to the north and another one to the south. The open space was five cubits wide on each side.
12 Na ngambo ya weste, ezalaki na ndako moko etalana na lopango ya Tempelo: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku misato na mitano na mokuse; mir ya ndako yango ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na monene, mpe bametele pene tuku minei na mitano na molayi.
Another building faced the Temple courtyard on the west side. It measured seventy cubits wide and ninety cubits long, with walls all the way round that were five cubits thick.
13 Moto yango amekaki lisusu molayi ya Tempelo: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi; bongo lopango ya Tempelo mpe bamir na yango ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano.
He measured the Temple as one hundred cubits long. The Temple courtyard and the building including its walls were also one hundred cubits long.
14 Mokuse ya Tempelo mpe ya esika ya polele oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya este ezalaki mpe na bametele pene tuku mitano.
The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one hundred cubits wide.
15 Amekaki lisusu molayi ya ndako oyo etalana na lopango, na sima ya Tempelo elongo na nzela na yango ngambo na ngambo: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano. Kati na Tempelo, eteni oyo eleki monene, Esika ya bule ya kati mpe ndako moke ya kokotela oyo etalana na lopango,
He measured the length of the building that faced the Temple courtyard towards the rear of the Temple, including its open halls on each side. It was one hundred cubits long. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porches facing the courtyard,
16 bikotelo, maninisa ya milayi oyo batalelaka libanda mpe nzela oyo ezali kati na ba-etaje wana misato, bazipaki yango nyonso na mabaya, longwa na se kino na maninisa ya etaje ya liboso, mpe bazipaki lisusu maninisa yango nyonso.
as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and the surrounding open halls with their three levels up to and including the threshold, were covered with wood on every side. This extended from the ground up to and including the windows.
17 Na esika oyo ezali likolo ya ekotelo ya libanda kino na eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki bule mpe na bamir ya zingazinga ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki bule mpe na libanda ya eteni ya bule ya Tempelo,
On the outside of all the walls by the entrance to the inner sanctuary, spaced at regular intervals around the inner and outer sanctuary,
18 batiaki bililingi ya basheribe mpe ya banzete ya mbila. Bililingi ya banzete ya mbila ezalaki elandana na bililingi ya basheribe. Boye, Sheribe moko na moko azalaki na bilongi mibale:
were carved designs of cherubim and palm trees. Every cherub had two faces:
19 elongi ya moto, na ngambo ya nzete ya mbila moko mpe elongi ya nkosi, na ngambo ya nzete ya mbila mosusu; batiaki bililingi yango zingazinga ya Tempelo mobimba.
a man's face looked in the direction of a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked in the direction of the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended the whole way round the Temple.
20 Batiaki bililingi ya basheribe mpe ya banzete ya mbila na mir ya libanda ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene, longwa na se kino na likolo ya ekotelo.
Designs of cherubim and palm trees were carved on the Temple wall from the floor up to the space above the doorway.
21 Mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke ya Tempelo, na bangambo na yango nyonso, ezalaki ndenge moko na molayi; mpe mabaya oyo ezalaki liboso ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki bule ezalaki mpe kaka ndenge moko.
The Temple's doorframe was rectangular, as was the doorframe of the sanctuary.
22 Ezalaki na etumbelo moko ya mabaya, oyo ezalaki na metele pene moko na basantimetele tuku mitano na bosanda mpe metele moko na molayi. Basonge na yango, se na yango mpe mipanzi na yango ezalaki ya mabaya. Moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Oyo nde mesa oyo ezali liboso ya Yawe. »
An altar made of wood stood there, three cubits high and two cubits by long. All of it—its corners, base, and sides—were made of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”
23 Ezala eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene to eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki bule, moko na moko ezalaki na bikuke mibale:
The Temple and the sanctuary both had hinged double doors.
24 ekuke moko na moko ezalaki na bizipelo mibale oyo ebalukaka.
Each door had two panels that opened. There were two panels for one door, and two panels for the other door.
25 Batiaki bililingi ya basheribe mpe ya banzete ya mbila na bikuke ya libanda ya eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene; basalaki mwanza moke ya mabaya na liboso ya ndako moke ya kokotela.
There were carvings of cherubim and palm trees on the Temple doors like those on the walls, and there was a wooden roof that covered the outside part of the porch at the front.
26 Batiaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na bangambo nyonso ya bamir ya mipanzi ya ndako moke ya kokotela, oyo ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda. Mpe mipanzi ya bashambre ya Tempelo ezalaki na bamwanza mike.
There were narrow windows and palm tree designs on the walls of the porch. The side rooms of the Temple also had roofs.
