1 Kings 9
1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
Ɛberɛ a Salomo wiee Awurade asɔredan no ne ahemfie no sie no, ɔhunuu sɛ wayɛ deɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ no nyinaa awie.
2 that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no ne mprenu so, sɛdeɛ na wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no wɔ Gibeon dada no.
3 And Jehovah said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ ne wʼadesrɛ. Mate saa asɔredan yi a woasi no ho, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛhyɛ me din animuonyam wɔ hɔ afebɔɔ. Mɛhwɛ so na mama mʼani aku ho.
4 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;
“Na wo, sɛ wode nokorɛ ne nyamesuro di mʼakyi, sɛdeɛ wʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ, na ɔdii me mmara ne mʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so no a,
5 then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, according as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
mɛtim wʼahennie nnidisoɔ ase wɔ Israel afebɔɔ, sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ wʼagya Dawid sɛ, ‘Ɛremma sɛ worennya ɔbarima bi nntena Israel ahennwa no so da no.’
6 But if ye shall turn away from following me, ye or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
“Na sɛ wo anaa wo mmammarima dane firi me ho, na wɔbu me mmara ne mʼahyɛdeɛ a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ wɔfiri akyire kɔsom anyame afoforɔ sɔre wɔn a,
7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
ɛnneɛ, mɛtwa Israel afiri asase a mede ama wɔn no so, na mapo saa asɔredan a mate ho wɔ me din mu no. Ɛbɛma Israel atɔ sin, na ayɛ aseredeɛ wɔ nnipa nyinaa mu.
8 And though this house is so high, yet shall every one that passeth by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to this house?
Na ɛwom sɛ saa Asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ deɛ, nanso, wɔn a wɔbɛtwam wɔ ho no bɛtwiri no, adi ho abooboo, abisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na Awurade ayɛ asase yi ne Asɔredan yi saa?’
9 and they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath Jehovah brought all this evil upon them.
Nnipa bɛbua sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔapa Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, a ɔyii wɔn agyanom firii Misraim no akyi, na wɔde wɔn ho akɔdan anyame afoforɔ a wɔresom wɔn, sɔre wɔn. Ɛno enti na Awurade ama saa ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ yi aba wɔn so no.’”
10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king’s house
Mfeɛ aduonu a Salomo de sii Awurade asɔredan no ne ahemfie no akyi,
11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
ɔhene Salomo de nkurotoɔ aduonu a ɛwɔ Galilea maa Tirohene Huram, ɛfiri sɛ, Huram maa no ntweneduro nnua ne pepeaa nnua ne sikakɔkɔɔ a na ɔhia.
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
Huram firii Tiro kɔhwɛɛ nkuro a Salomo de ama no no, nanso nʼani ansɔ koraa.
13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Me nua, na nkuro bɛn na wode ama me yi? Saa nkuro yi nni mu!” Enti, ɔfrɛɛ hɔ Kabul, “Deɛ ɛnni mu” de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
Na Huram asoma ma wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ tɔno 4 akɔma Salomo.
15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
Ɛkwan a ɔhene Salomo faa so tintim, hyɛɛ nnipa, ma wɔsii Awurade asɔredan no ne nʼahemfie, Milo, Yerusalem ɔfasuo ne Hasor, Megido ne Geser nkuro no nie:
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a portion unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
Misraimhene kɔtuaa Geser, gyee hɔ faeɛ. Ɔkumm Kanaanfoɔ a wɔte kuro no mu nyinaa, hyee hɔ pasaa. Ɔde kuropɔn no maa ne babaa no sɛ akyɛdeɛ ɛberɛ a ɔwaree Salomo no.
17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,
Enti, Salomo sane kyekyeree Geser kuropɔn no. Afei, ɔsane kyekyeree nkuro a ɛwɔ Bet-Horon anafoɔ,
18 and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,
Baalat ne Tamar wɔ ɛserɛ so, nʼasase so.
19 and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Ɔkyekyeree nkuro a na wɔkora nnuane wɔ hɔ, kyekyeree nkuropɔn nso a na wɔkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne nʼahemman nyinaa, sɛdeɛ nʼakoma pɛ.
20 As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;
Na nnipa bi da so te asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfoɔ. Wɔne Amorifoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ.
21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day.
Yeinom ne aman a na Israel nwiee wɔn asetɔre korakora no asefoɔ. Enti, Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ, na wɔda so yɛ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
Nanso, Salomo anhyɛ Israelfoɔ amma wɔanyɛ ɔhyɛ nnwuma. Mmom, ɔmaa wɔyɛɛ asraafoɔ, aban adwumayɛfoɔ. Ɔmaa ebinom yɛɛ nʼakodɔm, ne nteaseɛnam ne ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ so asahene.
23 These were the chief officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
Afei, ɔyii wɔn mu ahanum ne aduonum maa wɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔso nnwuma ahodoɔ so.
24 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build Millo.
Ɛberɛ a Salomo yii ne yere a ɛyɛ Farao babaa no firii Dawid kuro no mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfie foforɔ a wasi ama no no mu no, ɔsii Milo.
25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he built unto Jehovah, burning incense therewith, [upon the altar] that was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.
Afe biara mu, na Salomo bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade wɔ afɔrebukyia a ɔsiiɛ no so mprɛnsa. Na ɔhye aduhwam nso ma Awurade. Enti, ɔde wiee asɔredan no si.
26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
Akyire no, ɔhene Salomo yɛɛ ɛpo so ahyɛn wɔ Esion-Geber, hyɛngyinabea a ɛbɛn Elot a ɛwɔ Edom asase so hɔ a ɛwɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no mpoano.
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
Na Huram maa nʼahyɛn mu adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔnim hyɛn mu adwuma yie no, ne Salomo nkurɔfoɔ de ahyɛn no yɛɛ adwuma.
28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
Wɔyɛɛ adwuma kɔɔ Ofir, na wɔsane de sikakɔkɔɔ tɔno 16 brɛɛ Salomo.
