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 ɔhene no, ne mfeɛ aduonu so na ɔwiee Awurade Asɔredan sie dwumadie kɛseɛ ne nʼankasa ahemfie no sie.
2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
Afei, Salomo de nʼadwene kɔɔ nkuro a ɔhene Huram de ama no no so. Ɔsiesiee nkuro no, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ no kɔtenatenaa mu.
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu nso na Salomo ko tiaa kuro 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 ɛserɛ so, na ɔkyekyeree nkuro 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 anafoɔ Bet-Horon ho ban. Ɔsane too wɔn afasuo no, de apono a wɔbram akyire 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 ɛberɛ yi, ɔsane kyekyeree Baalat ne mmeammea a wɔkora nneɛma wɔ hɔ, sane kyekyeree nkuropɔn a wɔbɛkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree mmeammea bi wɔ Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne ahemman no nyinaa mu maa nʼakoma 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)—
Ɛbɛsi saa ɛberɛ no, na nnipa bi tete asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfoɔ. Na saa nnipa no yɛ Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ.
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.
Yeinom yɛ aman a Israel ntɔree wɔn ase korakora no asefoɔ. Ɛno enti, Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn maa wɔyɛɛ adwuma maa no. Na ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ, wɔsom sɛ apaafoɔ.
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 asraafoɔ, mpanimfoɔ wɔ nʼakodɔm mu ne ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔkafoɔ so asahene.
10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
Ɔhene Salomo yii wɔn mu ahanu aduonum maa wɔkɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔsoɔnnwuma 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 babaa firii Dawid kuro mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfie foforɔ a wasi ama no no mu. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ me yere tena Ɔhene Dawid ahemfie, ɛfiri sɛ, 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 ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia a wasi wɔ Asɔredan no abankua 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.
Ɛda biara, na wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ Mose hyɛɛ wɔn no. Afahyɛ ahodoɔ a wɔdiiɛ no bi ne Homeda, Ɔbosome Foforɔ Ɛda, ne mfirinhyia mmiɛnsa biara afahyɛ no mu a, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ, Otwaberɛ 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 asɔfoɔ no nnwuma rehyɛ wɔn nsa no, ɔfaa nʼagya Dawid akwankyerɛ so. Saa ara na ɔmaa Lewifoɔ no dii ɔmanfoɔ no anim too ayɛyie nnwom, na wɔboaa asɔfoɔ no wɔ wɔn daa daa nnwuma mu. Ɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ akuakuo no sisii wɔn apono ano sɛdeɛ Dawid, Onyankopɔn onipa 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 ankwae amfiri akwankyerɛ a Dawid maeɛ a ɛfa asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne sikakorabea ho no.
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 sɛ biribiara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no sie ho firi da a wɔtwaa ne fapem, kɔsi da a wɔde wiee sie no adi mu.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
Akyire no, Salomo kɔɔ Esion-Geber ne Elot a ɛyɛ ahyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Edom asase a ɛda Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ mpoano hɔ.
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 mpanimfoɔ hwɛ so, na emu adwumayɛfoɔ yɛ wɔn a wɔnim adwuma yie. Salomo nkurɔfoɔ ne saa ahyɛn yi kɔɔ Ofir asase so, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a na ɛkari bɛyɛ tɔno 17 brɛɛ Salomo.
