2 Chronicles 8
1 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
Salomo dii hene no, ne mfe aduonu so na owiee Awurade Asɔredansi dwumadi kɛse ne nʼankasa ahemfi no si.
2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
Afei, Salomo de nʼadwene kɔɔ nkurow a ɔhene Huram de ama no no so. Osiesiee nkurow no, na ɔmaa Israelfo no kɔtenatenaa mu.
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Saa bere no ara mu nso na Salomo ko tiaa kurow Hamat-Soba, dii so nkonim.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
Ɔkyekyeree Tadmor bio wɔ sare so, na ɔkyekyeree nkurow wɔ Hamat mantam mu a ɛhɔ na na wɔkora nneɛma.
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
Ɔbɔɔ nkuropɔn a na ɛwɔ atifi Bet-Horon ne anafo Bet-Horon no ho ban. Ɔsan too wɔn afasu no, de apon a wɔbram akyi totoo ano.
6 as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
Saa ara na ɔsan kyekyeree Baalat ne mmeaemmeae a wɔkora nneɛma wɔ hɔ, san kyekyeree nkuropɔn a wɔbɛkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree mmeaemmeae bi wɔ Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne ahemman no nyinaa mu maa ne koma tɔɔ ne yam.
7 As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
Ebesi saa bere no, na nnipa bi tete asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfo. Na saa nnipa no yɛ Hetifo, Amorifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo.
8 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
Eyinom yɛ aman a Israel ntɔre wɔn ase korakora no asefo. Ɛno nti, Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ adwuma maa no. Na ebesi nnɛ, wɔsom sɛ apaafo.
9 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
Nanso Salomo anhyɛ Israelni biara amma wanyɛ adwuma sɛ ɔpaani. Mmom, ɔmaa ebinom kɔyɛɛ asraafo, mpanyimfo wɔ nʼakofo so ne ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔkafo so asahene.
10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
Ɔhene Salomo yii wɔn mu ahannu aduonum ma wɔkɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔsodwuma so.
11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
Salomo yii ne yere a ɔyɛ Farao babea fii Dawid kurow mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfi foforo a wasi ama no no mu. Ɔkae se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ me yere tena Ɔhene Dawid ahemfi, efisɛ na Awurade Apam Adaka no si hɔ, enti ɛhɔ yɛ asase kronkron.”
12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
Na Salomo bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka a wasi wɔ Asɔredan no ntwironoo no anim no so, maa Awurade.
13 He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Da biara, wɔbɔɔ afɔre sɛnea Mose de maa wɔn no. Afahyɛ ahorow a wodii no bi ne Homeda, Ɔsram Foforo Da, ne mfirihyia abiɛsa biara afahyɛ no mu a, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ, Otwabere Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ.
14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
Salomo de asɔfo no nnwuma rehyɛ wɔn nsa no, ɔfaa nʼagya Dawid akwankyerɛ so. Saa ara na ɔmaa Lewifo no dii ɔmanfo no anim too ayeyi nnwom, na wɔboaa asɔfo no wɔ wɔn daa daa nnwuma mu. Ɔde apon ano ahwɛfo akuwakuw no sisii wɔn apon ano sɛnea Dawid, Onyankopɔn nipa no kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
Salomo amman amfi akwankyerɛ a Dawid mae a ɛfa asɔfo, Lewifo ne sikakorabea ho.
16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
Na Salomo hwɛɛ biribiara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no si so fi da a wotwaa ne fapem, kosi da a wɔde wiee si no.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
Akyiri no, Salomo kɔɔ Esion-Geber ne Elot a ɛyɛ ahyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Edom asase a ɛda Po Kɔkɔɔ mpoano hɔ no.
18 So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
Huram brɛɛ no ahyɛn a ɔno ankasa mpanyimfo hwɛ so; na emu adwumayɛfo no nim adwuma yiye. Salomo nkurɔfo ne saa ahyɛn yi kɔɔ Ofir asase so, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a na ɛkari bɛyɛ tɔn dunson brɛɛ Salomo.
