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 comes to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year—in the month of Ziv, it [is] the second month—of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he builds the house for YHWH.
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.
As for the house that King Solomon has built for YHWH, its length [is] sixty cubits, and its breadth twenty, and its height 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.
As for the porch on the front of the temple of the house, its length [is] twenty cubits on the front of the breadth of the house; its breadth [is] ten by the cubit on the front of the house;
4 N’akola amadirisa amafunda mu kisenge kya yeekaalu.
and he makes frames of narrowing windows for the house.
5 Wakati w’ebisenge eby’ekisenge ekinene, n’ekifo aw’okwogerera, n’azimba obusenge obw’okubbalibbali okwetooloola wo.
And he builds a couch against the wall of the house all around, [even] the walls of the house all around, of the temple and of the oracle, and makes sides all around.
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 lowest couch, its breadth [is] five by the cubit; and the middle, its breadth [is] six by the cubit; and the third, its breadth [is] seven by the cubit, for he has put withdrawings of the house all around outside—not to lay hold on 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, in its being built, has been built of perfect stone [that was] brought; and hammer and the axe—any instrument of iron—was not heard in the house in its being built.
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 opening of the middle side [is] at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one to the third.
9 Awo n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala, n’agisereka n’emiti n’embaawo ez’emivule.
And he builds the house, and completes it, and covers the house [with] beams and rows of cedars.
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 builds the couch against all the house, its breadth [is] five cubits, and it takes hold of the house by cedar-wood.
11 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Sulemaani nti,
And the word of YHWH is 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 that you are building—if you walk in My statutes, and do My judgments, indeed, have done all My commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with you, which I spoke to your father David,
13 Era nnaabeeranga wamu n’abaana ba Isirayiri, so siryabuulira bantu bange Isirayiri.”
and have dwelt in the midst of the sons of Israel, and do not forsake My people Israel.”
14 Sulemaani n’azimba yeekaalu n’agimala.
And Solomon builds the house and completes 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 builds the walls of the house within with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling; he has overlaid the inside with wood, and covers the floor of the house with ribs 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 builds the twenty cubits on the sides of the house with ribs of cedar, from the floor to the walls; and he builds for it within, for the oracle, for the Holy of Holies.
17 Ekisenge ekinene ddala ekyali mu maaso g’ekisenge, awaayimirirwanga okwogera waali obuwanvu mita kkumi na munaana.
And [this area of] the house was forty by the cubit; it [is the area of] the temple before My face.
18 Ne munda wa yeekaalu mwali mwaliriddwamu emivule egyayolebwako entaabwa n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse. Byonna byali bya mivule; tewaali jjinja eryalabika.
And the cedar for the house within [is] carvings of knobs and openings of flowers; the whole [is] cedar, there is not a stone seen.
19 N’ateekateeka ekisenge eky’omunda ddala okumpi n’awaayimirirwanga okwogera mu yeekaalu, okuteekamu essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
And he has prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to put the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH there.
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 before the oracle [is] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height [is] twenty cubits; and he overlays it with gold refined, and overlays 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.
And Solomon overlays the house within with gold refined, and causes [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlays it with gold.
22 Munda wa yeekaalu mwonna, n’assaamu zaabu, ne ku kyoto eky’omu kisenge awaayimirirwanga okwogera n’asiigako zaabu.
And he has overlaid the whole of the house with gold, until the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle has, he has 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 he makes two cherubim of the oil-tree within the oracle; their height [is] ten cubits;
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 the first wing of the cherub [is] five cubits, and the second wing of the cherub five cubits—ten cubits from the ends of his wings even to the ends of his wings;
25 Kerubi owookubiri naye yali mita nnya n’ekitundu, era bakerubi bombi baali ekigero kye kimu n’endabika yaabwe nga y’emu.
and the second cherub [is] ten by the cubit; one measure and one form [are] of the two cherubim,
26 Obugulumivu bwa buli kerubi bwali mita nnya n’ekitundu.
the height of the first cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so [is] the second 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 sets the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim, and a wing of the first comes against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings [stretched] into the midst of the house, coming wing against wing;
28 Bakerubi n’abasiigako zaabu.
and he overlays 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 has carved all around the walls of the house with engravings of carvings, cherubim, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, inside and outside.
30 Ne wansi mu bisenge eby’omunda n’eby’ebweru ebya yeekaalu n’assaamu zaabu.
And he has overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside;
31 Awayingirirwa mu kifo awaayimirirwanga okwogera, waali wawaniriddwa emifuubeeto n’empagi ez’enzigi, omulyango nga gwa nsonda ttaano.
as for the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel [and] doorposts [are] a fifth [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.
And the two doors [are] of the oil-tree, and he has carved on them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causes the gold to go down on the cherubim and on 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.
And so he has made for the opening of the temple, doorposts of the oil-tree, from the fourth [of the wall].
34 N’akola n’enzigi bbiri za miberosi, buli luggi nga lulina embaawo bbiri ezakyukiranga mu myango.
And the two doors [are] of fir-tree, the two sides of the first door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving.
35 Ku zo n’ayolako ebifaananyi ebya bakerubi, n’enkindu n’ebimuli ebyanjulukuse, n’abisiiga zaabu ensanuuse.
And he has carved cherubim, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid the carved work with straightened gold.
36 N’azimba oluggya olw’omunda n’embu ssatu ez’amayinja amateme obulungi, n’olubu olw’emiti egy’emivule.
And he builds the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.
37 Awo mu mwaka ogwokuna, mu mwezi Zivu omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama ne gumalirizibwa.
In the fourth year the house of YHWH has been founded, in the month of 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 of Bul (the eighth month), the house has been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he builds it [in] seven years.
