1 Kings 7
1 They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
Salomon te bati yon palè pou li menm tou. Li pran trèzan pou l' fini l'.
2 One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
Li bati yon kay yo rele Rakbwa peyi Liban an. Li te gen sansenkant (150) pye longè, swasannkenz pye lajè ak karannsenk pye wotè. Li te gen kat ranje gwo poto bwa sèd. Chak ranje te gen kenz poto ak gwo travès sèd chita sou tèt poto yo.
3 [To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
Plafon an te fèt an planch sèd. Li te kloure sou karannsenk travès ki te chita sou tèt poto yo.
4 On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
Nan de miray sou kote yo, te gen twa ranje fennèt. Fennèt yo te bay yonn sou lòt.
5 All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
Pòt yo ak fennèt yo te kare kare. Te gen twa ranje fennèt sou chak bò, yonn an fas lòt.
6 They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
Li bati yon lòt gwo pyès yo rele Chanm Poto yo. Li te gen swasannkenz pye longè, karannsenk pye lajè. Te gen yon lòt ti pyès sou devan l' avèk gwo poto ak dòmant.
7 Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
Yo bati yon lòt kay yo rele Chanm Fotèy la ou ankò Salon Jijman an. Se la Salomon te konn rann jijman. Miray yo te kouvri ak bwa sèd depi anba rive nan plafon an.
8 In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
Kay kote Salomon te rete a te nan yon lòt lakou dèyè Salon Jijman an. Li te bati tankou lòt kay yo. Salomon bati yon lòt kay menm jan an tou pou madanm li, pitit fi wa peyi Lejip la.
9 All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
Tout kay sa yo te bati ak bèl wòch taye, depi nan fondasyon yo jouk anba twati yo. Wòch yo te pare depi nan min wòch la. Yo te taye sou mezi. Fasad anndan ak fasad deyò wòch yo te taye ak si.
10 The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
Fondasyon yo te fèt ak gwo wòch yo te taye nan min wòch la. Genyen ladan yo ki te gen douz pye longè.
11 On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
Anwo fondasyon an te gen menm kalite wòch taye sou mezi ak madriye sèd.
12 The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
Gwo lakou palè a te fèmen ak yon miray fèt ak twa ranje wòch pou chak ranje madriye sèd, tankou lakou anndan ak lakou devan Tanp lan.
13 There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
Wa Salomon voye chache yon bòs ki te rele Iram tou. Se te yon moun lavil Tir.
Papa Iram te moun lavil Tir tou. Se te yon bòs fò nan travay kwiv. Manman li te moun nan branch fanmi Neftali a. Se te yon vèv. Iram te yon moun ki te gen anpil ladrès, anpil konesans ak bon konprann pou fè tout kalite bagay an kwiv. Se konsa li te vin kay wa a, li fè tout travay li yo.
15 He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
Iram koule de gwo poto kwiv won yo. Yo chak te gen vennsèt pye wotè. Wonn poto yo te mezire dizwit pye. Li mete yo kanpe devan Tanp lan.
16 He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
Apre sa, li fè fè blòk kwiv tou pou ale sou tèt poto yo. Yo chak te mezire sèt pye edmi wotè.
17 Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
Li dekore wonn tèt poto yo ak desen ti chenn makònen yonn ak lòt. Te gen sèt desen konsa pou chak tèt poto.
18 He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
Li mete de ranje grenad an kwiv anwo ak anba desen ti chenn lan sou tout wonn chak tèt poto yo.
19 The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
Tèt poto ki nan gwo lakou devan an te gen fòm yon flè choublak. Yo chak te gen sis pye wotè.
20 These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
Sou rebò anwo chak tèt poto yo, te gen yon vant resoti ki te anwo desen ti chenn yo, ak desan pòtre grenad sou de ranje ki te fè wonn chak poto yo.
21 His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
Iram mete poto yo kanpe devan pòt antre Tanp lan, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch. Li rele sa ki sou bò dwat la Jaken, sa ki sou bò gòch la Boaz.
22 The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
Sou tèt chak poto te gen yon blòk an fòm yon flè. Se konsa Iram fini ak travay poto yo.
23 Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
Apre sa, Iram fè yon gwo basen an kwiv tou won. Li te mezire kenz pye lajè anndan anndan ak sèt pye edmi fondè. Wonn li te mezire karannsenk pye.
24 Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
Sou tout wonn basen lan, sou deyò, te gen de ranje ti kalbas an kwiv, ti kras anba rebò a. Te gen dis kalbas pou chak pye edmi longè. Yo te fè yon sèl kò ak basen lan, yo te koule yo ansanm lè yo t'ap fè basen lan.
25 Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
Basen lan te chita sou do douz towo bèf an kwiv. Fas towo yo tout bay sou deyò: fas twa bay sou solèy leve, fas twa bay sou bò nò, fas twa bay sou solèy kouche, ak fas twa bay sou bò sid. Dèyè yo te anba basen lan.
26 The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
Rebò basen lan te gen twa pous epesè. Rebò a te tankou rebò yon tas, li fè yon ti vire sou deyò tankou yon flè. Basen lan te ka kenbe dimil galon konsa.
27 Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
Iram te fè tou dis kabwa an kwiv. Yo chak te gen sis pye longè, sis pye lajè ak kat pye edmi wotè.
28 [On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
Yo te fèt an ti panno kare kare ki te moute nan yon ankadreman.
29 On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
Sou chak ti panno yo, te gen pòtre lyon, pòtre towo ak pòtre zanj cheriben. Sou rebò yo, anwo ak anba lyon yo ak towo yo, te gen yon ranje flè resoti.
30 Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
Chak kabwa te gen kat wou an kwiv ak lesye an kwiv tou. Nan kat kwen yo te gen yon zepòlman, antou kat pou kenbe basen lan anplas. Zepòlman yo te dekore ak yon ranje flè chak bò.
31 On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
Anwo chak kabwa te gen yon ankadreman tou won pou basen yo. Ankadreman an te gen dizwit pous lajè anndan anndan. Li te gen desen sou tout kò l'. Pati anwo kabwa a te kare, li pa t' won.
32 The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Wou yo te gen vennsenk pous wotè. Yo te anba panno yo. Lesye wou yo te fè yon sèl pyès ak rès kabwa a.
33 The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
Wou yo te tankou wou cha lagè. Pen yo, jant yo, reyon yo, lesye yo, tout te fèt an kwiv.
34 At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Kat zepòlman ki te nan kwen anba chak kabwa yo te fè yon sèl pyès ak chasi kabwa a.
35 There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Pati plat anwo kabwa a te dekore ak yon wonn nèf pous wotè ki te fè rebò ouvèti a. Zepòlman ki te nan kwen anwo yo ak panno yo te fè yon sèl pyès ak kabwa a.
36 The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
Yo te dekore panno yo ak zepòlman yo ak pòtre zanj cheriben, pòtre lyon ak pòtre pye palmis, tout kote yo te jwenn yon ti espas, ak flè sou tout wonn lan.
37 That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
Se konsa Iram te fè dis kabwa yo. Yo tout te fèt menm jan, menm fòm, menm gwosè.
38 Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
Iram te fè dis basen tou, yonn pou chak kabwa. Chak basen te mezire sis pye lajè. Yo chak te kenbe desan galon konsa.
39 Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
Li mete senk kabwa sou bò sid Tanp lan, lòt senk yo sou bò nò. Gwo basen kwiv la menm, li mete l' sou bò dwat Tanp lan nan kwen sidès la.
40 Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
Iram te fè plato pou sann, pèl ak kivèt. Se konsa li te fin fè tout travay Salomon te mande l' fè pou Tanp Seyè a.
41 the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
Men sa li te fè: de gwo poto won yo, de blòk yon ti jan pi gwo pou ale sou tèt poto yo,
42 the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
katsan pòtre grenad ki pou ale sou de ran nan desen ti chenn ki fè wonn tèt poto yo,
43 the ten carts; the ten basins;
dis kabwa yo, dis basen ki pou ale sou kabwa yo,
44 the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
yon gwo basen tou won pou dlo, douz towo bèf pou soutni gwo basen lan,
45 the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
plato pou sann yo, pèl yo ak kivèt yo. Tou sa Iram te fè pou Tanp Seyè a te fèt an kwiv poli, dapre lòd li te resevwa nan men Salomon.
46 They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
Wa a te fè fonn yo nan moul tè nan fon larivyè Jouden an, ant lavil Soukòt ak lavil Zaretan.
47 Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
Te sitèlman gen anpil bagay fèt an kwiv, Salomon pa t' chache konnen pèz yo.
48 Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
Salomon te fè fè tout mèb yo te bezwen pou Tanp lan an lò: lotèl la, tab pou pen yo mete apa pou Bondye a,
49 the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
dis lanp sèt branch pou ranje devan pyès yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a, senk sou bò dwat, senk sou bò gòch, flè yo, ti lanp yo ak pensèt pou lanp sèt branch yo,
50 the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
gode yo, kouto pou netwaye lanp yo, bòl yo, plato pou lansan yo, plato pou pote chabon dife tou limen yo, gon pou pòt pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, ak gon pou lòt pòt tanp lan menm. Tout bagay sa yo te fèt ak bon lò.
51 So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
Lè wa Salomon te fin fè tout travay pou bati Tanp Seyè a, li fè yo pote tout ajan ak tout lò David, papa l', te ofri bay Seyè a ansanm ak tout lòt bagay li menm li te bay, li fè mete yo nan chanm trezò Tanp lan.
