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.
Mfeɛ ahanan aduɔwɔtwe a wɔgyee Israelfoɔ firii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim no a na Salomo nso adi Israel so ɔhene mfeɛ ɛnan no bosome Siv (bɛyɛ Kɔtɔnimaa) mu no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ 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 tentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum.
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.
Ntwonoo a ɛda asɔredan no anim no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduasa a, ɛne asɔredan no ntrɛmu yɛ pɛ. Na, ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.
4 He had latticed windows made to be placed high up in the Temple.
Salomo yɛɛ ntokua wɔ ɔfasuo no soro hyiaeɛ.
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 fasukyire no nso, wɔsisii adan bebree fomfam ho hyiaeɛ.
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 aborɔsan a ɛtoa so mmiɛnsa a aseɛ dan no tɛtrɛtɛ mu yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Aborɔsan a ɛtɔ so mmienu no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nkron ɛnna apampam dan no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa. Wɔde mpunan a ɛgugu nnannua bi a ɛhyehyɛ ɔfasuo no mu na aka adan no afomfam ɔfasuo no ho. Enti, ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔamfa mpunan no anhyehyɛ ɔfasuo 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 aboɔ a wɔde sii asɔredan no nso, wɔsiesiee ho wɔ abopaebea hɔ enti, ɛdan no sie no, obi ante hama, pɛeɛ anaa dadeɛ biara nnyegyeeɛ wɔ adansiiɛ 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 ɛkwan a wɔde kɔ aseɛ adan no mu no da Asɔredan no anafoɔ fam. Atwedeɛ kyinkyimiɛ na wɔforo kɔ ɛdan a ɛto so mmienu no so na foforɔ nso wɔ adan a ɛtɔ so mmienu ne mmiɛnsa no ntam.
9 So Solomon finished building the Temple, covering it with a roof made of cedar rafters and planks.
Wɔwiee asɔredan no sie no, Salomo de nnua ne ntweneduro mpunan yɛɛ ani nsamsoɔ 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.
Sɛdeɛ wɔaka no, na adan wowɔ ɛdan no afanan nyinaa a wɔnam ntweneduro so de afam Asɔredan no afasuo no ho. Ɛdan no mu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson.
11 The Lord sent this message to Solomon, telling him,
Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo sɛ,
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.
“Ɛfa saa Asɔredan a woresie yi ho no, sɛ woyɛ ɔsetie ma me mmara nyinaa ne me nhyehyɛeɛ a, na wodi me ɔhyɛ nsɛm so a, menam wo so bɛdi ɛbɔ a mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid no so.
13 I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon Israel, my people.”
Mɛtena Israel mamfoɔ mu, na merempa me nkurɔfoɔ akyi da.”
14 Solomon finished building the Temple.
Na Salomo wiee asɔredan no sie.
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, ɛfiri fam kɔsi nsamsoɔ no, wɔde nnua na ɛkataa ɔfasuo no anim. Wɔde tweneduro na ɛkataa ɔfasuo no anim, na wɔde pepeaa 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.
Ɔtwaa mu, nyaa kronkronbea a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron mu kronkron wɔ asɔredan no tiri mu hɔ pɛɛ. Na ɛhɔ atweeɛmu yɛ anammɔn aduasa a wɔde ntweneduro asam fam hɔ, de kɔsi ani nsameeɛ 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 ntentenemu 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 ntweneduro na ɛsam aboɔ afasuo a ɛwɔ asɔredan no nyinaa so, na wɔsenee nkoraa fɛfɛ ne nhwiren, de dii nsameeɛ no ani adwini.
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 bɛsi.
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 ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduasa na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa, ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na Salomo de sikakɔkɔɔ amapa duraa nʼafasuo ne ne nsamsoɔ no ho nyinaa. Saa ara na ɔduraa afɔrebukyia a wɔde ntweneduro 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 nkaeɛ no, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa sam hɔ nyinaa, na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn de guu ɛkwan 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 sam Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa ho, de wieeɛ.
23 He had two cherubim made out of olive wood for the inner sanctuary, each one ten cubits tall.
Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngo dua senee Kerubim mmienu a emu biara ɔsorokɔ 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 ataban mu trɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ataban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.
25 The other cherub was also ten cubits tall, since they were identical both in size and shape.
Na Kerubim mmienu no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ
26 Both cherubs were ten cubits tall.
a ɔbaako biara ɔsorokɔ 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 ataban mu trɛ no firi ɔfasuo baako kɔka ɔfasuo baako. Na wɔn ntaban a ɛwɔ ntam no hyia ɛdan no mfimfini.
28 The cherubim were also covered with a gold coating.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Kerubim mmienu 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 afasuo ne ɛdan mu no, ɔdii adwini a ɛyɛ Kerubim mmɛdua 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 mmienu 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.
Ɛkwan a wɔfa so kɔ kronkronbea mu hɔ no, Salomo de ngo dua yɛɛ apono mmienu a emu biara wɔ twɛtwɛwa enum.
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 apono no ho nso, na wɔadi Kerubim, mmɛdua ne nhwiren adwini, 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 ngo dua yɛɛ aponnwa a emu biara wɔ twɛtwɛwa ɛnan a wɔfa hɔ kɔ asɔredan no mu.
34 Its doors were made of cypress wood, each with two hinged panels.
Ɔde pepeaa nnua yɛɛ apono mmienu a wɔbobɔ, na wɔsii ɛpono no biara ɛkwan bi so sɛ, emu biara tumi bobɔ 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.
Saa apono yi, wɔde Kerubim, mmɛdua, ne nhwiren adi ho adwini, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
36 Solomon had the inner courtyard built with three courses of dressed stone and one of cedar beams.
Wɔsii adihɔ hɔ afasuo no kwan bi so a ntweneduro nnua ntosoɔ baako wɔ aboɔ a wɔatwa ntotosoɔ mmiɛnsa 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.
Wɔtwaa Awurade Asɔredan fapem no bosome Siv (bɛyɛ Kɔtɔnimaa) mfimfini a saa ɛberɛ no na Salomo adi ɔhene mfeɛ ɛnan 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.
Wɔwiee ɛdan no ho biribiara bosome Bul (bɛyɛ Obubuo) mfimfini no a na wadi ɔhene mfeɛ dubaako. Enti, mfeɛ nson na wɔde sii asɔredan no.
