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 house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the Lord] appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Yatandika okugizimba mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwe.
And 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 things wherein] Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth 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.
And the porch that [was] in the front [of the house], the length [of it was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height [was] an hundred and 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.
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 N’ayonja yeekaalu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, ne zaabu gwe yakozesa yali zaabu owa Paluvayimu.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: 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.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims 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.
And he made the most holy house, the length whereof [was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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.
And the weight of the nails [was] fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10 Mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo n’abajjirayo bakerubi babiri n’abasiiga ne zaabu.
And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and 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.
And the wings of the cherubims [were] twenty cubits long: one wing [of the one cherub was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was likewise] 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.
And [one] wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was] five cubits [also], 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 cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces [were] inward.
14 N’akola olutimbe nga lulimu bbululu, effulungu, era nga lutwakaavu, ne bafuta ennungi n’alukubako ebifaananyi bya bakerubi.
And he made the vail [of] blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
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 of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter 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.
And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and made an 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.
And he reared 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.
