1 Kings 6
1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.
Mfe ahannan aduɔwɔtwe a wogyee Israelfo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim no a na Salomo nso adi Israel so hene mfe anan no ɔsram Sif mu no, ofii ase sii Awurade Asɔredan no.
2 And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length of it was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty, and the height of it thirty cubits,
Asɔredan a ɔhene Salomo si maa Awurade no tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum.
3 and the porch in front of the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, and ten cubits was the breadth of it in front of the house.
Ntwironoo a ɛda asɔredan no anim no tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa, a ɛne asɔredan no ntrɛwmu yɛ pɛ. Na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.
4 And he made windows of fixed lattice-work for the house.
Salomo yɛɛ mfɛnsere wɔ ɔfasu no soro hyiae.
5 And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle. And he made side-chambers round about.
Asɔredan no fasu no akyi no nso, wosisii adan bebree bataa ho hyiae.
6 The lowest story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad, for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
Na ɛyɛ aban a ɛtoa so abiɛsa a ase dan no trɛw mu yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Aban a ɛto so abien no trɛw yɛ anammɔn akron na apampamu dan no trɛw yɛ anammɔn du ne fa. Wɔde mpuran a egugu dannua bi a ɛhyehyɛ ɔfasu no mu na aka adan no abatabata ɔfasu no ho. Enti ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔamfa mpuran no anhyehyɛ ɔfasu no ankasa mu.
7 And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone made ready at the quarry. And there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built.
Na abo a wɔde sii asɔredan no nso, wosiesiee ho wɔ abopaebea hɔ nti, ɔdan no si no, obi ante asae, pɛe anaa dade biara nnyigyei wɔ ɔdansibea hɔ.
8 The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house. And they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.
Na ɔkwan a wɔde kɔ ase adan no mu no da Asɔredan no anafo fam. Atrapoe kyinkyimii na wɔforo kɔ ɔdan a ɛto so abien no so na foforo nso wɔ adan a ɛto so abien ne abiɛsa no ntam.
9 So he built the house, and finished it. And he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
Wowiee asɔredan no si no, Salomo de nnua ne sida mpuran yɛɛ ani nsamso no.
10 And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Sɛnea wɔaka no, na adan wowɔ ɔdan no afanan nyinaa a wɔnam sida so de abata Asɔredan no afasu no ho. Ɔdan no mu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason.
11 And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying,
Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo se,
12 Concerning this house that thou are building, if thou will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with thee, which I spoke to David thy father.
“Saa Asɔredan a woresi yi de, sɛ woyɛ osetie ma me mmara nyinaa ne me nhyehyɛe, na wudi me hyɛ nsɛm so a, menam wo so bedi bɔ a mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid no so.
13 And I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
Mɛtena Israel manfo mu, na merempa me nkurɔfo akyi da.”
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Na Salomo wiee asɔredan no si.
15 And he built the walls of the house inside with boards of cedar. From the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. And he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.
Na emu nyinaa, efi fam kosi nsamso no, wɔde nnua na ɛkataa fasu no anim. Wɔde sida na ɛkataa ɔfasu no anim, na wɔde ɔpepaw kataa abrannaa no so.
16 And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls of the ceiling. He built them for it inside, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.
Otwaa mu, nyaa kronkronbea a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron mu kronkron wɔ asɔredan no ti mu hɔ pɛɛ. Na ɛhɔ ntwemu yɛ anammɔn aduasa a wɔde sida asam fam hɔ, de kosi ani nsɛmee no so.
17 And the house, that is, the temple in front of the oracle, was forty cubits long.
Asɔredan no ankasa a na ɛwɔ kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no, na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduosia.
18 And there was cedar on the house inside, carved with knops and open flowers. All was cedar; there was no stone seen.
Wɔde sida na ɛsam abo afasu a ɛwɔ asɔredan no nyinaa so, na wosen ntoa fɛfɛ ne nhwiren de dii nsɛmee no ani adwinni.
19 And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house inside, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
Salomo siesiee kronkron mu kronkron a ɛtoa asɔredan no so; faako a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no besi.
20 And inside the oracle was a space of twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it. And he overlaid it with pure gold. And he covered the altar with cedar.
Saa kronkron mu kronkron no, na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduasa na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ne sorokɔ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na Salomo de sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa duraa nʼafasu ne ne nsamso no ho nyinaa. Saa ara na oduraa afɔremuka a wɔde sida ayɛ no ho.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold. And he drew chains of gold across before the oracle, and he overlaid it with gold.
Afei, asɔredan no mu nkae no, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa sam hɔ nyinaa, na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn de guu ɔkwan a wɔde kɔ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ, de bɔɔ hɔ ano ban.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.
Enti ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔremuka no nyinaa ho, de wiei.
23 And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.
Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngodua sen kerubim abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum, de sisii hɔ.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub. From the outermost part of the one wing to the outermost part of the other were ten cubits.
Kerubim baako biara ntaban mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ntaban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits; both of the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
Na kerubim abien no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛse yɛ pɛ
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so it was of the other cherub.
a ɔbaako biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
27 And he set the cherubim inside the inner house. And the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each another in the middle of the house.
Salomo de wɔn sisi bɛnee wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ asɔredan kronkronbea mu hɔ. Wɔn ntaban mu trɛw no fi ɔfasu baako kɔka ɔfasu baako. Na wɔn ntaban a ɛwɔ ntam no hyia ɔdan no mfimfini.
28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa kerubim abien no ho.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
Na kronkronbea mu afasu ne ɔdan mu no, odii adwinni a ɛyɛ kerubim mmedua ne nhwiren guu ho.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa adan abien no abrannaa so.
31 And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood. The lintel and door-posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Ɔkwan a wɔfa so kɔ kronkronbea mu hɔ no, Salomo de ngodua yɛɛ apon abien a emu biara wɔ twɔtwɔw anum.
32 So he made two doors of olive-wood. And he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. And he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.
Saa apon no ho nso, na wɔadi kerubim, mmedua ne nhwiren adwinni, na ne nyinaa nso, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
33 So he also made for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood out of a fourth part of the wall,
Afei, ɔde ngodua yɛɛ apongua a emu biara wɔ twɔtwɔw anan a wɔfa hɔ kɔ asɔredan no mu.
34 and two doors of fir-wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
Ɔde ɔpepaw nnua yɛɛ apon abien a wɔbobɔw, na wosii ɔpon no biara wɔ ɔkwan bi so sɛ, emu biara tumi bobɔw gu ɛno ara so.
35 And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers. And he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.
Wɔde kerubim, mmedua ne nhwiren adi saa apon yi ho adwinni, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
36 And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.
Wosii adiwo hɔ afasu no a sida nnua mmeaso baako wɔ abo a wɔatwa ntotoso abiɛsa biara so.
37 In the fourth year the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid, in the month Ziv.
Wɔtoo Awurade Asɔredan fapem no ɔsram Sif (a ɛte sɛ Kɔtɔnimma) mfimfini a saa bere no na Salomo adi hene mfe anan no.
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all the parts of it, and according to all the fashion of it. So he was seven years in building it.
Wowiee ɔdan no ho biribiara ɔsram Bul mfimfini no a na wadi hene mfe dubaako. Enti mfe ason na wɔde sii asɔredan no.
