Chronicles I 28
1 And David assembled all the chief [men] of Israel, the chief of the judges, and all the chief [men] of the courses [of attendance] on the person of the king, and the captains of thousands and hundreds, and the treasurers, and the lords of his substance, and of all the king's property, and of his sons, together with the eunuchs, and the mighty men, and the warriors of the army, at Jerusalem.
Dawid frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem. Saa mpanyimfo no ne mmusuakuw no ntuanofo, asahene a wɔdeda asraafodɔm akuw dumien no ano, asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔaka no, wɔn a wɔhwɛ ɔhene agyapade ne ne mmoa so, ahemfi nhenkwaa, akofo akɛse ne akofo a wɔaka wɔ ahenni no mu no.
2 And David stood in the midst of the assembly, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and a place for the feet of our Lord, and I prepared [materials] suitable for the building:
Dawid sɔre gyinaa wɔn anim, kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me nuanom ne me nkurɔfo, anka mepɛɛ sɛ misi asɔredan a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka, Onyankopɔn anan ntiaso no besi afebɔɔ. Meyɛɛ ho ahoboa nyinaa sɛ mede rebesi,
3 but God said, Thou shalt not build me a house to call my name upon it, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
nanso Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wusi asɔredan de hyɛ me din anuonyam, efisɛ woyɛ ɔkofo a woahwie mogya bebree agu.’
4 Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me out of the whole house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; and he chose Juda as the kingly [house], and out of the house of Juda [he chose] the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he preferred me, that I should be king over all Israel.
“Nanso Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ayi me wɔ mʼagya abusua mu sɛ, minni ɔhene wɔ Israel so daa. Na wayi Yuda abusuakuw sɛ wonni hene na Yuda mmusua mu nso, oyii mʼagya abusua. Na mʼagya mma mu no nso, ɛyɛɛ Awurade fɛ sɛ osii me Israel nyinaa so hene.
5 And of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons, ) he has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
Na me mmabarima pii a Awurade de wɔn maa me no mu nso, oyii Salomo sɛ ɔntena Awurade ahenni agua no so nni Israel so.
6 And God said to me, Solomon thy son shall build my house and my court: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be to him a father.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Wo babarima Salomo na obesi mʼasɔredan ne nʼadiwo nyinaa, efisɛ mayi no sɛ me babarima na mɛyɛ nʼagya.
7 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as [at] this day.
Na sɛ ɔkɔ so di mʼahyɛde ne me mmara so, sɛnea ɔyɛ mprempren yi a, mɛma nʼahenni atim afebɔɔ.’
8 And now [I charge you] before the whole assembly of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, that ye may inherit the good land, and leave it for your sons to inherit after you for ever.
“Enti mprempren a Onyankopɔn yɛ yɛn dansifo yi, menam wo so de saa asodi yi ma Israel nyinaa a wɔyɛ Awurade manfo no: Monhwɛ yiye na munni Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde nyinaa so sɛnea mobɛfa saa asase pa yi, na moagyaw ama mo asefo sɛ wɔn agyapade daa.
9 And now, [my] son Solomon, know the God of thy fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart and willing soul: for the Lord searches all hearts, and knows every thought: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shouldest forsake him, he will forsake thee for ever.
“Afei, me ba Salomo, hu wʼagyanom Nyankopɔn. Fa wo koma ne wʼadwene nyinaa sɔre no, na som no. Efisɛ Awurade hu koma biara mu, enti ohu na onim emu nhyehyɛe ne nsusuwii biara. Sɛ wohwehwɛ no a, wubehu no. Na sɛ wopo no a, ɔbɛpo wo afebɔɔ.
10 See now, for the Lord has chosen thee to build him a house for a sanctuary, be strong and do [it].
Enti fa no asɛnhia. Awurade ayi wo sɛ si asɔredan ma no, sɛ ne kronkronbea. Yɛ den, na di dwuma no.”
11 And David gave Solomon his son the plan of the temple, and its buildings, and its treasuries, and its upper chambers, and the inner store-rooms, and the place of the atonement,
Afei Dawid de asɔredan no ho mfoni a sikakorabea, soro adan, emu adan ne emu kronkronbea a Apam Adaka no afefare mu a ɛhɔ yɛ mpatabea, faako a wɔde Adaka no besi maa Salomo.
12 and the plan which he had in his mind of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about, [designed] for the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the holy things, and of the chambers for resting:
Nhyehyɛe biara a Honhom no de maa Dawid a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan adiwo ho, akyi adan, Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu sikakorabea ne akyɛde a wɔde ama Onyankopɔn no, ɔkyerɛɛ Salomo.
13 and [the plan] of the courses of the priests and Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and of the stores of vessels for ministration of the service of the house of the Lord.
Saa ara na ɔhene no kyerɛɛ Salomo dwuma a asɔfo ne Lewifo nkyekyɛmu ahorow no nyɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu. Na ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nneɛma pɔtee a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu a wɔde sɔre Awurade ne nea wɔde bɔ afɔre.
14 And [he gave him] the account of their weight, both of gold and silver [vessels].
Dawid kyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ nneɛma a ɛho behia.
15 He gave him the weight of the candlesticks, and of the lamps.
Ɔkyerɛɛ Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ dodow a ɛho behia ama sikakɔkɔɔ akaneadua no ne akanea no, na ɔkyerɛɛ dwetɛ dodow a ɛho behia ama dwetɛ akaneadua no ne akanea no yɛ, ne ɔkwan ko a wɔbɛfa so de emu biara adi dwuma no.
16 He gave him likewise the weight of the tables of shewbread, of each table of gold, and likewise of the [tables of] silver:
Ɔkyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ ɔpon a wɔde Daa Daa Brodo no bɛto so; na ɔkyerɛɛ dwetɛ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ apon a ɛka ho no.
17 also of the flesh-hooks, and vessels for drink-offering, and golden bowls: and the weight of the gold and silver [articles], and censers, [and] bowls, according to the weight of each.
Dawid san kyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ nam darewa a wɔde besuso afɔrebɔ nam mu, hweaseammɔ, sukuruwa ne nyowa ne dwetɛ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ asanka biara.
18 And he shewed him the weight [of the utensils] of the altar of incense, [which was] of pure gold, and the plan of the chariot of the cherubs that spread out their wings, and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Nea ɔde wiee ne sɛ, ɔkyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔabere ho dodow a wɔde bɛyɛ nnuhuam afɔremuka no ne sikakɔkɔɔ kerubim a ne ntaban atrɛw wɔ Awurade Adaka no so.
19 David gave all to Solomon in the Lord's handwriting, according to the knowledge given him of the work of the pattern.
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Saa mfoni yi nyinaa, Awurade nsa na ɔde kyerɛw maa me.”
20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and play the man, and do: fear not, neither be terrified; for the Lord my God [is] with thee; he will not forsake thee, and will not fail thee, until thou hast finished all the work of the service of the house of the Lord. And behold the pattern of the temple, even his house, and its treasury, and the upper chambers, and the inner store-rooms, and the place of propitiation, and the plan of the house of the Lord.
Afei, Dawid toaa so se, “Yɛ den na ma wo bo nyɛ duru na yɛ adwuma no. Nsuro na mma dwumadi no kɛseyɛ ntu wo bo, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn, me Nyankopɔn, ka wo ho. Ɔrenni wo huammɔ na ɔrennya wo. Ɔbɛhwɛ sɛ dwumadi biara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no si ho no, wobewie no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
21 And see, [here are] the courses of the priests and Levites for all the service of the house of the Lord, and [there shall be] with thee [men] for every workmanship, and every one of ready skill in every art: also the chief men and all the people, [ready] for all thy commands.
Asɔfo ne Lewifo akuw no bɛsom wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu. Wɔn a aka a wɔwɔ nimdeɛ ahorow no nyinaa beyi wɔn yam aboa, na ntuanofo ne ɔman no nyinaa nso bɛyɛ biribiara a wobɛka.”
