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 made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Yatandika okugizimba mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwe.
The building was started in the second month in the fourth year of his rule.
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.
And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
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.
And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best 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.
And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.
6 N’ayonja yeekaalu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, ne zaabu gwe yakozesa yali zaabu owa Paluvayimu.
And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of 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.
All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.
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.
And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.
9 Obuzito bw’emisumaali bwali desimoolo mukaaga era nga gya zaabu.
And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.
10 Mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo n’abajjirayo bakerubi babiri n’abasiiga ne zaabu.
And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering 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.
Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.
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.
And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.
13 Obuwanvu bw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi bwali mita mwenda awamu, era baasimbibwa ku bigere byabwe, nga batunuuliraganye.
Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.
14 N’akola olutimbe nga lulimu bbululu, effulungu, era nga lutwakaavu, ne bafuta ennungi n’alukubako ebifaananyi bya bakerubi.
And he made the veil of blue and purple and red, of the best linen, worked with winged ones.
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.
And in front of the house he made two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, with crowns on the tops of them, five cubits high.
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.
And he made chains, like neck ornaments, and put them on the tops of the pillars, and a hundred apples 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 put up the pillars in front of the Temple, one on the right side and one on the left, naming the one on the right Jachin and that on the left Boaz.
