1 Kings 6
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.
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 The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.
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 The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide 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 for the house he made windows, with network across.
Salomo yɛɛ mfɛnsere wɔ ɔfasu no soro hyiae.
5 And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:
Asɔredan no fasu no akyi no nso, wosisii adan bebree bataa ho hyiae.
6 The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed 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 stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)
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 to the lowest side rooms was in the right side of the house; and they went up by twisting steps into the middle rooms, and from 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 put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.
Wowiee asɔredan no si no, Salomo de nnua ne sida mpuran yɛɛ ani nsamso no.
10 And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.
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 the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo se,
12 About this house which you are building: if you will keep my laws and give effect to my decisions and be guided by my rules, I will give effect to my word which I gave to David your 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 be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.
Mɛtena Israel manfo mu, na merempa me nkurɔfo akyi da.”
14 So Solomon made the building of the house complete.)
Na Salomo wiee asɔredan no si.
15 The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.
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 at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.
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 holy place was forty cubits long.
Asɔredan no ankasa a na ɛwɔ kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no, na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduosia.
18 (All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)
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 made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.
Salomo siesiee kronkron mu kronkron a ɛtoa asɔredan no so; faako a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no besi.
20 And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.
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 Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered 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 Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).
Enti ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔremuka no nyinaa ho, de wiei.
23 In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;
Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngodua sen kerubim abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum, de sisii hɔ.
24 With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.
Kerubim baako biara ntaban mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ntaban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
25 The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.
Na kerubim abien no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛse yɛ pɛ
26 The two of them were ten cubits high.
a ɔbaako biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
27 These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.
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 These winged ones were plated over with gold.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa kerubim abien no ho.
29 And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.
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 was covered with gold, inside and out.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa adan abien no abrannaa so.
31 For the way into the inmost room he made doors of olive-wood, the arch and the door supports forming a five-sided opening.
Ɔkwan a wɔfa so kɔ kronkronbea mu hɔ no, Salomo de ngodua yɛɛ apon abien a emu biara wɔ twɔtwɔw anum.
32 On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.
Saa apon no ho nso, na wɔadi kerubim, mmedua ne nhwiren adwinni, na ne nyinaa nso, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
33 Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:
Afei, ɔde ngodua yɛɛ apongua a emu biara wɔ twɔtwɔw anan a wɔfa hɔ kɔ asɔredan no mu.
34 And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.
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 These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.
Wɔde kerubim, mmedua ne nhwiren adi saa apon yi ho adwinni, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
36 And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.
Wosii adiwo hɔ afasu no a sida nnua mmeaso baako wɔ abo a wɔatwa ntotoso abiɛsa biara so.
37 In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, 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 building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years 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.
