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.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
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 (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) 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.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
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. »
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very 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.
Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) 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 rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
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.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest 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 there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
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 outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 mpe bashambre ya Banganga-Nzambe ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mokuse na zingazinga ya Tempelo.
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
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.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
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.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) 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.
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Mokuse ya Tempelo mpe ya esika ya polele oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya este ezalaki mpe na bametele pene tuku mitano.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) 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,
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
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.
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
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,
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
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:
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
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.
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.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
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.
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
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. »
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 Ezala eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki monene to eteni ya Tempelo, oyo eleki bule, moko na moko ezalaki na bikuke mibale:
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.
24 ekuke moko na moko ezalaki na bizipelo mibale oyo ebalukaka.
Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
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.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
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.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
