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 going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto the Lord.
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 unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
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, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
4 N’akola amadirisa amafunda mu kisenge kya yeekaalu.
And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
5 Wakati w’ebisenge eby’ekisenge ekinene, n’ekifo aw’okwogerera, n’azimba obusenge obw’okubbalibbali okwetooloola wo.
And he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: 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 gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing 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 entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was 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 [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, 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 covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards 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 gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to the house with timber of cedar.
11 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Sulemaani nti,
And the word of the Lord 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.
This house which thou art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto David thy father.
13 Era nnaabeeranga wamu n’abaana ba Isirayiri, so siryabuulira bantu bange Isirayiri.”
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Sulemaani n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala.
So did Solomon build the house, and finish 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 to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid 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 the twenty cubits on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for the holy of holies.
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 it, 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 the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
19 N’ateekateeka ekisenge eky’omunda ddala okumpi n’awaayimirirwanga okwogera mu yeekaalu, okuteekamu essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
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 the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
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.
And Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; 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 was before the debir did he overlay with gold.
23 Mu kisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera n’akolawo bakerubi babiri ab’emiti egy’emizeeyituuni, buli kerubi obugulumivu bwe mita nnya n’ekitundu.
And within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-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: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
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 also 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 that 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 innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, 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 toward the middle of the house touched one another.
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 on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
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 for the debir and for the temple.
31 Awayingirirwa mu kifo awaayimirirwanga okwogera, waali wawaniriddwa emifuubeeto n’empagi ez’enzigi, omulyango nga gwa nsonda ttaano.
And for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming five sides.
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.
And also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, 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 oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
34 N’akola n’enzigi bbiri za miberosi, buli luggi nga lulina embaawo bbiri ezakyukiranga mu myango.
And two doors of fir-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which 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 opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved 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 of three rows of hewn stone, and one row 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 the Lord 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 its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it seven years.
