1 Bassekabaka 6
1 Mu mwaka ogw’ebina mu kinaana, abaana ba Isirayiri kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri, mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Sulemaani, mu mwezi ogwokubiri ogwa Zivu, Sulemaani n’atandika okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.
2 Eyeekaalu kabaka Sulemaani gye yazimbira Mukama yali obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu musanvu, n’obugazi mita mwenda, n’obuwanvu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3 Awayingirirwa mu maaso g’ekisenge ekinene ekya yeekaalu, waali mita mwenda, ng’obugazi bwa yeekaalu bwe bwali, ate ng’obugazi bwakyo mu maaso kiri mita nnya n’ekitundu okuva mu maaso ga yeekaalu.
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4 N’akola amadirisa amafunda mu kisenge kya yeekaalu.
And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.
5 Wakati w’ebisenge eby’ekisenge ekinene, n’ekifo aw’okwogerera, n’azimba obusenge obw’okubbalibbali okwetooloola wo.
And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.
6 Ekisenge ekya wansi kyali mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu obugazi, n’ekisenge eky’essa erya wakati kyali mita bbiri ne desimoolo musanvu, n’ekisenge eky’essa eryokusatu kyali mita ssatu ne desimoolo bbiri. N’asalako emiti okwetooloola eyeekaalu gireme okukomererwa mu bisenge bya yeekaalu.
The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house.
7 Bwe baali nga bazimba yeekaalu, baakozesanga amayinja agaali galongosereddwa gye bagatemeranga, era tewaawulirwa kuvuga okw’engeri yonna okw’ennyondo newaakubadde embazzi wadde ekyuma eky’engeri yonna mu kifo awaali wazimbirwa yeekaalu.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 Omulyango ogw’ekisenge ekya wakati gwali ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu; waabangawo amadaala agaakozesebwanga okugenda mu kisenge ekya wakati, n’okweyongerayo mu kisenge ekyokusatu ekya waggulu.
The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [story], and out of the middle into the third.
9 Awo n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala, n’agisereka n’emiti n’embaawo ez’emivule.
So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10 N’azimba n’ebisenge ebitono okwetooloola yeekaalu, n’obugulumivu bwa buli kimu bwali mita emu n’ekitundu, nga byesigamizibbwa ku kisenge kya yeekaalu n’emiti gy’emivule.
And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Sulemaani nti,
And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying,
12 “Bino bye bikwata ku yeekaalu eno gy’ozimba; bw’onootambuliranga mu mateeka gange, n’ogondera ebiragiro byange, n’okwatanga n’amateeka gange gonna ng’ogatambuliramu, kale ndituukiriza ekigambo kye nayogera eri Dawudi kitaawo.
Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father.
13 Era nnaabeeranga wamu n’abaana ba Isirayiri, so siryabuulira bantu bange Isirayiri.”
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Sulemaani n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala.
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 Ku bisenge eby’omunda n’assaako embaawo ez’emivule n’azikomelera okuva wansi wa yeekaalu okutuukira ddala ku kasolya, era ne wansi wa yeekaalu n’ayaliirirawo embaawo ez’emiberosi.
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.
16 N’ayawuzaamu emabega wa yeekaalu, n’akolawo ekifo mu yeekaalu ekyenkana mita mwenda, nga ky’ekisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera, eky’awatukuvu ennyo, ng’akozesa embaawo ez’emivule okuva wansi okutuuka ku kasolya.
And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls [of the ceiling]: he built [them] for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.
17 Ekisenge ekinene ddala ekyali mu maaso g’ekisenge, awaayimirirwanga okwogera waali obuwanvu mita kkumi na munaana.
And the house, that is, the temple before [the oracle], was forty cubits [long].
18 Ne munda wa yeekaalu mwali mwaliriddwamu emivule egyayolebwako entaabwa n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse. Byonna byali bya mivule; tewaali jjinja eryalabika.
And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 N’ateekateeka ekisenge eky’omunda ddala okumpi n’awaayimirirwanga okwogera mu yeekaalu, okuteekamu essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
20 Era munda awaayimirirwanga okwogera mwalimu ebbanga erya mita mwenda obuwanvu, ne mita mwenda obugazi, ne mita mwenda obugulumivu. Munda mwonna n’asiigamu zaabu ennongoose, era n’akola n’ekyoto n’akisabika n’emivule.
And within the oracle was [a space of] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.
21 Sulemaani n’asabika munda wa yeekaalu ne zaabu ennongoose, n’ayongerako n’enjegere eza zaabu mu maaso g’omu kisenge eky’omunda ekyali kibikiddwako zaabu.
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 Munda wa yeekaalu mwonna, n’assaamu zaabu, ne ku kyoto eky’omu kisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera n’asiigako zaabu.
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 Mu kisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera n’akolawo bakerubi babiri ab’emiti egy’emizeeyituuni, buli kerubi obugulumivu bwe mita nnya n’ekitundu.
And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.
24 Obuwanvu bw’ekiwaawaatiro ekimu ekya kerubi omu bwali mita bbiri n’obutundu busatu, n’ekiwaawaatiro ekyokubiri mita bbiri n’obutundu busatu, ze mita nnya n’ekitundu okuva ku luuyi olumu olw’ekiwaawaatiro ekimu okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ekiwaawaatiro ekyokubiri.
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 Kerubi owookubiri naye yali mita nnya n’ekitundu, era bakerubi bombi baali ekigero kye kimu n’endabika yaabwe nga y’emu.
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 Obugulumivu bwa buli kerubi bwali mita nnya n’ekitundu.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27 N’ateeka bakerubi mu kisenge eky’omunda ddala mu yeekaalu, ng’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe byanjuluzibbwa. Ekiwaawaatiro ekya kerubi omu ne kikwata ku kisenge eruuyi, n’ekiwaawaatiro ekya kerubi omulala ne kikwata ku kisenge ekirala eruuyi, ebiwaawaatiro byabwe ne bikwatagana wakati wa yeekaalu.
And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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 touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 Bakerubi n’abasiigako zaabu.
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Ku bisenge byonna ebya yeekaalu okwetooloola, mu bisenge eby’omunda, ne mu bisenge eby’ebweru, n’akola ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu, n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse.
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 Ne wansi mu bisenge eby’omunda n’eby’ebweru ebya yeekaalu n’assaamu zaabu.
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31 Awayingirirwa mu kifo awaayimirirwanga okwogera, waali wawaniriddwa emifuubeeto n’empagi ez’enzigi, omulyango nga gwa nsonda ttaano.
And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel [and] door-posts were a fifth part [of the wall].
32 Ku nzigi zombi ez’emiti egy’emizeeyituuni n’akubako ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu, n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse, bakerubi n’enkindu n’abisiiga zaabu.
So [he made] two doors of olive-wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
33 Mu ngeri y’emu n’akola omulyango oguyingira mu kisenge ekinene ddala, n’ateekawo emifuubeeto egy’emizeeyituuni, omulyango nga gwa nsonda nnya.
So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall];
34 N’akola n’enzigi bbiri za miberosi, buli luggi nga lulina embaawo bbiri ezakyukiranga mu myango.
and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 Ku zo n’ayolako ebifaananyi ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse, n’abisiiga zaabu ensanuuse.
And he carved [thereon] cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.
36 N’azimba oluggya olw’omunda n’embu ssatu ez’amayinja amateme obulungi, n’olubu olw’emiti egy’emivule.
And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.
37 Awo mu mwaka ogwokuna, mu mwezi Zivu omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama ne gumalirizibwa.
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Ziv.
38 Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu mu mwezi Buli, gwe mwezi ogw’omunaana, ebitundu byonna ebya yeekaalu ne bimalirizibwa ng’ebigero byabyo bwe byali. Yamala emyaka musanvu ng’agizimba.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
