41 ¶ Apre sa, nonm lan fè m' antre nan tanp lan, nan gwo pyès mitan tanp lan, kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Li mezire koridò kote pou antre ladan l' lan. Li jwenn li te gen dis pye longè,

dizwit pye lajè. Miray ki chak bò yo te gen wit pye epesè. Li mezire chanm lan anndan anndan, li jwenn swasantwit pye longè ak trannkat pye lajè.

Apre sa, li antre nan dènye pyès dèyè nèt la, li mezire papòt ki bay sou li a. Li te gen twa pye pwofondè, dis pye lajè. Miray chak bò yo te gen douz pye epesè.

Li mezire chanm lan. Li te kare kare, trannkat pye chak bò. Chanm sa a te dèyè chanm mitan an. Apre sa, li di m': Isit la se kote yo met apa nèt pou Bondye a.

Nonm lan mezire epesè miray anndan tanp lan, li jwenn dis pye. Sou kote Tanp lan, nan mitan miray anndan an ak miray deyò a, te gen yon seri ti pyès ki te fè wonn li. Chak pyès te kare kare, sèt pye chak bò.

Te gen trant chanm anba. Chak chanm sa yo te gen de lòt anwo yo: trant chanm nan premye etaj la, trant lòt chanm nan dezyèm etaj la. Epesè miray deyò Tanp lan te pi piti nan premye etaj la pase anba. Li te pi piti toujou nan dezyèm etaj la pase nan premye a. Konsa, chanm yo te chita sou miray la san yo pa t' bezwen makònen avè l'.

Lè ou rete deyò w'ap gade, ou wè de miray Tanp lan sanble yo te menm epesè depi anba jouk anwo. Apiye sou miray deyò Tanp lan, te gen de eskalye byen laj pou soti nan chanm anba yo pou moute nan premye etaj la jouk li rive nan dezyèm etaj lan.

Mwen wè te gen yon teras wit pye lajè ki te fè wonn Tanp lan. Li te menm wotè ak pòtay pyès ki sou kote de miray Tanp lan, ki vle di dis pye pi wo pase fondasyon Tanp lan.

Miray deyò pyès sou kote yo te gen wit pye epesè. Se sou teras la yo pase pou antre nan pyès sou kote yo. Ant teras la

10 ak rès batiman an, te gen yon koulwa trannkat pye lajè, ki te fè wonn Tanp lan.

11 Te gen yon pòt ki louvri sou pyès sou kote yo bò nò a ak yon pòt ki louvri sou pyès sou kote yo bò sid la. Miray ki te fèmen koulwa a te gen wit pye epesè sou tout longè l'.

12 ¶ Nan fon lakou dèyè Tanp lan, bò solèy kouche, te gen yon gwo kay sansenkant pye lajè, sanswasannsèz pye longè. Miray li yo te nèf pye epesè toutotou.

13 Nonm lan mezire Tanp lan sou deyò. Li te gen sanswasantwit pye longè. Soti depi dèyè Tanp lan, travèse espas vid la, rive nan dènye bout kay ki bò solèy kouche a, li jwenn sanswasantwit pye tou.

14 Li mezire tout fasad devan Tanp lan avèk de espas vid chak bò yo, sa ba li sanswasantwit pye tou.

15 Li mezire longè kay ki bò solèy kouche a, avèk de galeri yo, yonn chak bò. Sa ba li tou sanswasantwit pye.

16 Premye pyès devan an, pyès mitan an ak pyès dèyè a ki apa nèt pou Bondye a te gen gwo moso planch plake sou tout palisad yo, depi planche a rive nan fennèt yo. Fennèt yo te fèmen ak yon griyay.

17 Sou tout miray anndan Tanp lan, depi anba rive depase wotè pòt yo, yo te travay planch yo

18 pou fè pòtre pye palmis ak pòtre zanj cheriben. Pòtre yo te fè wonn chanm lan nèt, yon pye palmis, yon zanj cheriben, yonn dèyè lòt. Pòtre zanj yo te gen de figi,

19 yon figi moun k'ap gade pye palmis ki sou bò sa a, yon figi lyon k'ap gade pye palmis ki sou lòt bò a. Se konsa pòtre yo te ye sou tout miray la nèt.

20 Depi planche a rive depase wotè pòt yo, sou tout miray la, te gen pòtre pye palmis ak pòtre zanj cheriben.

21 Gwo poto ki te devan Tanp lan te kare kare. Devan premye pyès Tanp lan te gen yon bagay ki te sanble

22 yon lotèl an bwa. Li te gen senk pye wotè. Anwo lotèl la te kare kare, kat pye chak bò. Pye lotèl la ki te nan kat kwen yo, pyès anba a ak kat sou kote yo, tout te fèt an bwa. Nonm lan di m' konsa: Se tab sa a ki kanpe devan prezans Seyè a.

23 Te gen yon pòt de batan nan bout koridò antre a ki louvri sou pyès mitan an ak yon lòt pòt pi devan ki louvri sou pyès dèyè nèt la.

24 Chak pòt te gen de batan ki te louvri nan mitan.

25 Yo te travay bwa pòt yo tou. Yo te fè pòtre pye palmis ak pòtre zanj cheriben sou tout pòt yo tankou pou miray yo. Yo te mete yon ti twati an bwa ki soti sou deyò devan pòt premye pyès Tanp lan.

26 Sou miray pyès devan an, te gen fennèt ak griyay. Tout mi yo te dekore ak pòtre pye palmis.

41 Then the man brought me to the main hall(A) and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits[a] on each side.[b] The entrance was ten cubits[c] wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits[d] wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.[e](B)

Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits[f] wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits[g] wide. And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall.(C) He said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.(D)

Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits[h] wide. The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty(E) on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple.(F) The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway(G) went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.

I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the priests’ rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.

12 The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits[i] wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.[j]

13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits[k] long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. 14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.(H)

15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries(I) on each side; it was a hundred cubits.

The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows(J) and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered.(K) 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved(L) cherubim(M) and palm trees.(N) Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:(O) 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.(P) 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.

21 The main hall(Q) had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar(R) three cubits[l] high and two cubits square[m]; its corners, its base[n] and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table(S) that is before the Lord.” 23 Both the main hall(T) and the Most Holy Place had double doors.(U) 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves(V) for each door. 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.(W)
