2 Ebyomumirembe 3
1 Awo Sulemaani n’atandika okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama mu Yerusaalemi ku lusozi Moliya, Mukama gye yalabikira Dawudi kitaawe, ekifo Dawudi kye yali alonze ku gguuliro lya Olunaani Omuyebusi.
Then Solomon began to build the LORD’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Yatandika okugizimba mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwe.
He began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Omusingi Sulemaani gwe yasima ogwa yeekaalu ya Katonda gwali obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu musanvu ng’obugazi mita mwenda, mu kukozesa ebipimo okw’edda.
Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house: the length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.
4 Ekisasi ekyali mu maaso ga yeekaalu kyali obuwanvu mita mwenda n’obugazi nga kye kimu, n’obugulumivu kyali mita mwenda. Munda mu yeekaalu n’asiigamu ne zaabu ennongoofu.
The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Mu kisenge ekinene n’assaamu embaawo ez’emiberosi, ne munda waakyo n’akisiiga ne zaabu ennongoofu, ate era n’akitimba n’enkindu n’emikuufu.
He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
6 N’ayonja yeekaalu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, ne zaabu gwe yakozesa yali zaabu owa Paluvayimu.
He decorated the house with precious stones for beauty. The gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 Ku myango, ne ku miryango, ne ku bisenge ne ku nzigi za yeekaalu, byonna n’abisiigako zaabu; ate era n’awoola ne bakerubi ku bisenge.
He also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, its walls, and its doors with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls.
8 N’azimba n’Ekifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo, ng’obuwanvu kyenkanankana obugazi bwa yeekaalu, obuwanvu kyali mita mwenda n’obugazi mita mwenda. Munda waakyo n’asiigamu ttani amakumi abiri mu ssatu eza zaabu ennongoofu.
He made the most holy place. Its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 Obuzito bw’emisumaali bwali desimoolo mukaaga era nga gya zaabu.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo n’abajjirayo bakerubi babiri n’abasiiga ne zaabu.
In the most holy place he made two cherubim by carving, and they overlaid them with gold.
11 Obugazi bw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi bwali mita mwenda, ng’ekimu obuwanvu bwakyo kiri mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu, nga kituuka ku kisenge kya yeekaalu, n’ekirala obuwanvu nga kiri mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu, nga kituuka ku kerubi omulala.
The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 N’ekiwaawaatiro kya kerubi omulala kyali obuwanvu mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu nga kituuka ku ludda lw’ekisenge kya yeekaalu ekirala, n’ekiwaawaatiro ekirala obuwanvu nga kiri mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu, nga kituuka ku kerubi oli omulala.
The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 Obuwanvu bw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi bwali mita mwenda awamu, era baasimbibwa ku bigere byabwe, nga batunuuliraganye.
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves out twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
14 N’akola olutimbe nga lulimu bbululu, effulungu, era nga lutwakaavu, ne bafuta ennungi n’alukubako ebifaananyi bya bakerubi.
He made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
15 Mu maaso ga yeekaalu yassaawo empagi bbiri, obuwanvu bwazo mita kkumi na mukaaga, nga buli emu ku zo eriko omutwe ogwenkana mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu.
Also he made before the house two pillars thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 N’akola emikuufu mu kifo eky’omunda awasinzirwa okwogera n’agissa ku mitwe gy’empagi, ate era n’akola n’amakomamawanga kikumi, n’agateeka ku mikuufu egyo.
He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 N’asimba empagi mu maaso ga yeekaalu, emu ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba obwa ddyo, n’endala ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba obwa kkono. Ey’oku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba obwa ddyo yagituuma Yakini, n’eyo ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba obwa kkono n’agituuma Bowaazi.
He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
