1 Kings 6
1 Four hundred and eighty years after the Israelites left Egypt, in the fourth year of King Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv, Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord.
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 Temple King Solomon built for the Lord measured sixty cubits long by twenty cubits wide by 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 entrance room at the front of the Temple was twenty cubits wide. It ran the whole width of the Temple and projected out ten cubits in front of the Temple.
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 He had latticed windows made to be placed high up in the Temple.
Salomo yɛɛ mfɛnsere wɔ ɔfasu no soro hyiae.
5 He also had a structure built against the outer wall of the Temple, both the outer and the inner sanctuary, to provide a series of side rooms.
Asɔredan no fasu no akyi no nso, wosisii adan bebree bataa ho hyiae.
6 The ground floor measured five cubits wide, the first floor six cubits, and the second floor seven cubits. In addition he had offset ledges placed all the way around the outside, so that beams would not have to be inserted into the Temple walls.
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 When the Temple was built the stones were finished at the quarry so that no noise from any hammer, ax, or any iron tool was heard in the Temple during construction.
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 entrance to the ground floor was on the south side of the Temple. Stairs led to the first floor, and then on to the second floor.
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 Solomon finished building the Temple, covering it with a roof made of cedar rafters and planks.
Wowiee asɔredan no si no, Salomo de nnua ne sida mpuran yɛɛ ani nsamso no.
10 He built the external structure along the whole of the Temple. It was five cubits high, joined to the Temple with cedar joists.
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 The Lord sent this message to Solomon, telling him,
Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo se,
12 “About this Temple you are building: if you follow what I have said, fulfilling my requirements and keeping my commandments in what you do, I will keep the promise I made to your father David through you.
“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 I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon Israel, my people.”
Mɛtena Israel manfo mu, na merempa me nkurɔfo akyi da.”
14 Solomon finished building the Temple.
Na Salomo wiee asɔredan no si.
15 He lined the walls with cedar panels from floor to ceiling and he covered the floor of the Temple with cypress boards.
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 He sectioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the Temple with boards of cedar from floor to ceiling, making an inner sanctuary as the Most Holy Place.
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 The main Temple in front of this room measured forty cubits long.
Asɔredan no ankasa a na ɛwɔ kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no, na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduosia.
18 The cedar panels inside the Temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and open flowers. Everything was lined with cedar—none of the stone was visible.
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 He also had the inner sanctuary made within the Temple where the Ark of the Lord's Agreement would be placed.
Salomo siesiee kronkron mu kronkron a ɛtoa asɔredan no so; faako a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no besi.
20 The inner sanctuary measured twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He had the interior covered with a coating with pure gold, as well as the altar of cedar.
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 the whole of the inside of the Temple covered with pure gold, He had gold chains stretched across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was also 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 He covered the whole inside of the Temple with a coating of gold until it was all finished. He also covered with gold the entire altar for the inner sanctuary.
Enti ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔremuka no nyinaa ho, de wiei.
23 He had two cherubim made out of olive wood for the inner sanctuary, each one ten cubits tall.
Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngodua sen kerubim abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum, de sisii hɔ.
24 Both wings of the cherub measured five cubits, making a total wingspan of ten cubits.
Kerubim baako biara ntaban mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ntaban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
25 The other cherub was also ten cubits tall, since they were identical both in size and shape.
Na kerubim abien no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛse yɛ pɛ
26 Both cherubs were ten cubits tall.
a ɔbaako biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
27 He had the cherubim placed inside the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Since their wings were fully spread, a wing of the first cherub touched one wall, a wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the Temple their wings touched.
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 The cherubim were also covered with a gold coating.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa kerubim abien no ho.
29 He had all the Temple walls, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
Na kronkronbea mu afasu ne ɔdan mu no, odii adwinni a ɛyɛ kerubim mmedua ne nhwiren guu ho.
30 He also had the floor of the Temple floor covered with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa adan abien no abrannaa so.
31 He had doors of olive wood made for the entrance to the inner sanctuary, together with a lintel and doorposts that had five sides.
Ɔkwan a wɔfa so kɔ kronkronbea mu hɔ no, Salomo de ngodua yɛɛ apon abien a emu biara wɔ twɔtwɔw anum.
32 These olive wood double doors had carved into them designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The cherubim and palm trees carvings were covered with beaten gold.
Saa apon no ho nso, na wɔadi kerubim, mmedua ne nhwiren adwinni, na ne nyinaa nso, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
33 Similarly he had four-sided doorposts of olive wood made for the entrance to the sanctuary.
Afei, ɔde ngodua yɛɛ apongua a emu biara wɔ twɔtwɔw anan a wɔfa hɔ kɔ asɔredan no mu.
34 Its doors were made of cypress wood, each with two hinged panels.
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 He had them carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and covered them with gold beaten evenly over the carvings.
Wɔde kerubim, mmedua ne nhwiren adi saa apon yi ho adwinni, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
36 Solomon had the inner courtyard built with three courses of dressed stone and one of cedar beams.
Wosii adiwo hɔ afasu no a sida nnua mmeaso baako wɔ abo a wɔatwa ntotoso abiɛsa biara so.
37 The foundation of the Lord's Temple was laid in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the month of 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 The Temple was finished exactly as specified and planned in Solomon's eleventh year, in the eighth month, the month of Bul. So it took him seven years to build the Temple.
Wowiee ɔdan no ho biribiara ɔsram Bul mfimfini no a na wadi hene mfe dubaako. Enti mfe ason na wɔde sii asɔredan no.
