2 Chronicles 7
1 And when Solomon had ended praying, the fire came down from the heavens and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
Salomo wiee ne mpaeɛbɔ no, ogya firi ɔsoro bɛhyee ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔdeɛ, na Awurade animuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.
2 And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah's house.
Asɔfoɔ no mpo antumi anhyɛne Awurade Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade animuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.
3 And all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah upon the house, and bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshipped and thanked Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ogya no reba fam, na Awurade animuonyam rehyɛ Asɔredan no ma no, wɔn nyinaa hwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuu hɔ, sɔree Awurade kamfoo no sɛ, “Ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!”
4 And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before Jehovah.
Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfoɔ no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade.
5 And king Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
Ɔhene Salomo de anantwie ɔpeduonu mmienu ne nnwan ɔpeha aduonu baeɛ sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ. Enti, ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa buee Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ano.
6 And the priests stood in their charges, and the Levites with Jehovah's instruments of music, which David the king had made to praise Jehovah, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, when David praised by their means; and the priests sounded the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel stood.
Asɔfoɔ no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa, na saa ara na Lewifoɔ a wɔreto dwom sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!” no nso yɛeɛ. Wɔde nnwontodeɛ a Dawid yɛeɛ sɛ wɔmfa nkamfo Awurade no gyegyee nnwontoɔ no ho. Asɔfoɔ a wɔne Lewifoɔ no di nhwɛanimu no hyɛnee ntotorobɛnto wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ.
7 And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings and the oblations and the fat.
Na afei, Salomo buee adihɔ mfimfini a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim ano, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na wɔahye sradeɛ a ɛfiri asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ mu no wɔ hɔ. Ɔyɛɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a na wasi no, na ɛsua ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ne sradeɛ afɔdeɛ nyinaa no.
8 And at that time Solomon held the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt.
Nnanson a ɛdi soɔ no mu, wɔdii Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ, na nipadɔm fifiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu baeɛ. Wɔfifiri akyirikyiri te sɛ Lebo Hamat a ɛwɔ atifi fam kɔsi Misraim asuwa anafoɔ fam no.
9 And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, wɔde afahyɛ no kɔɔ nʼawieeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔde nnanson abue afɔrebukyia no ano na wɔde nnanson nso adi Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no.
10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had done to David and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
Afahyɛ no awieeɛ no, Salomo maa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom. Wɔn nyinaa ani gyeeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade ne Dawid, Salomo ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ adi no yie.
11 And Solomon completed the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he did prosperously.
Na Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no ne ahemfie no sie. Ɔwiee biribiara a ɔhyehyɛ too hɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.
12 Then Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen for myself this place for a house of sacrifice.
Afei, da bi anadwo, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ, na mayi saa Asɔredan yi sɛ beaeɛ a wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ.
13 If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
“Ɛtɔ ɛda a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osuo rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma ntutummɛ abɛsɛe mo mfudeɛ anaa ebia mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba mo so.
14 and my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Na sɛ me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔde me din frɛ wɔn no bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase, abɔ mpaeɛ, ahwehwɛ me, na wɔadane afiri wɔn amumuyɛsɛm ho a, mɛte wɔ ɔsoro, na mede wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn, asa wɔn asase yadeɛ.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attentive to the prayer [made] in this place;
Mpaeɛ biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, mɛtie,
16 for I have now chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
ɛfiri sɛ, mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fie daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne mʼakoma bɛtena ha daa.
17 And [as for] thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;
“Na wo deɛ, sɛ wodi mʼakyi sɛdeɛ wʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ, na wotie mʼahyɛdeɛ, di me mmara nyinaa so a,
18 then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to rule over Israel.
meremma obiara mfa wʼahennwa nkɔ. Saa bɔ korɔ yi ara na mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid wɔ ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, ‘Meremma onipa a ɔbɛdi Israel so ɔhene mmɔ no no.’
19 But if ye turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them;
“Nanso, sɛ wogya me, na wobu mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mahyɛ wo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforɔ a,
20 then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
ɛnneɛ, mɛtutu Israelfoɔ ase afiri mʼasase a mede ama wɔn yi so. Mɛpo saa Asɔredan a mayi asi hɔ a mede hyɛ me din animuonyam no. Mɛyɛ no ahohoradeɛ ama aman nyinaa ahunu.
21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passes by it; so that he shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?
Ɛwom, saa asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ deɛ, nanso ɛbɛyɛ atantanneɛ ama wɔn a wɔtwa mu hɔ no. Wɔbɛbisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na Awurade ama nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu sei aba nʼasase ne nʼAsɔredan yi so?’
22 And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.
Na mmuaeɛ bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, ne nkurɔfoɔ poo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim, kɔsomm anyame foforɔ. Ɛno enti, na ɔmaa saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.’”
