2 Chronicles 8
1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
Salomo dii hene no, ne mfe aduonu so na owiee Awurade Asɔredansi dwumadi kɛse ne nʼankasa ahemfi no si.
2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
Afei, Salomo de nʼadwene kɔɔ nkurow a ɔhene Huram de ama no no so. Osiesiee nkurow no, na ɔmaa Israelfo no kɔtenatenaa mu.
3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.
Saa bere no ara mu nso na Salomo ko tiaa kurow Hamat-Soba, dii so nkonim.
4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath.
Ɔkyekyeree Tadmor bio wɔ sare so, na ɔkyekyeree nkurow wɔ Hamat mantam mu a ɛhɔ na na wɔkora nneɛma.
5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
Ɔbɔɔ nkuropɔn a na ɛwɔ atifi Bet-Horon ne anafo Bet-Horon no ho ban. Ɔsan too wɔn afasu no, de apon a wɔbram akyi totoo ano.
6 and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Saa ara na ɔsan kyekyeree Baalat ne mmeaemmeae a wɔkora nneɛma wɔ hɔ, san kyekyeree nkuropɔn a wɔbɛkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree mmeaemmeae bi wɔ Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne ahemman no nyinaa mu maa ne koma tɔɔ ne yam.
7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
Ebesi saa bere no, na nnipa bi tete asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfo. Na saa nnipa no yɛ Hetifo, Amorifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo.
8 of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants, unto this day.
Eyinom yɛ aman a Israel ntɔre wɔn ase korakora no asefo. Ɛno nti, Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ adwuma maa no. Na ebesi nnɛ, wɔsom sɛ apaafo.
9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
Nanso Salomo anhyɛ Israelni biara amma wanyɛ adwuma sɛ ɔpaani. Mmom, ɔmaa ebinom kɔyɛɛ asraafo, mpanyimfo wɔ nʼakofo so ne ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔkafo so asahene.
10 And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bore rule over the people.
Ɔhene Salomo yii wɔn mu ahannu aduonum ma wɔkɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔsodwuma so.
11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said: 'No wife of mine shall dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.'
Salomo yii ne yere a ɔyɛ Farao babea fii Dawid kurow mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfi foforo a wasi ama no no mu. Ɔkae se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ me yere tena Ɔhene Dawid ahemfi, efisɛ na Awurade Apam Adaka no si hɔ, enti ɛhɔ yɛ asase kronkron.”
12 Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
Na Salomo bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka a wasi wɔ Asɔredan no ntwironoo no anim no so, maa Awurade.
13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
Da biara, wɔbɔɔ afɔre sɛnea Mose de maa wɔn no. Afahyɛ ahorow a wodii no bi ne Homeda, Ɔsram Foforo Da, ne mfirihyia abiɛsa biara afahyɛ no mu a, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ, Otwabere Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ.
14 And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate; for so had David the man of God commanded.
Salomo de asɔfo no nnwuma rehyɛ wɔn nsa no, ɔfaa nʼagya Dawid akwankyerɛ so. Saa ara na ɔmaa Lewifo no dii ɔmanfo no anim too ayeyi nnwom, na wɔboaa asɔfo no wɔ wɔn daa daa nnwuma mu. Ɔde apon ano ahwɛfo akuwakuw no sisii wɔn apon ano sɛnea Dawid, Onyankopɔn nipa no kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
Salomo amman amfi akwankyerɛ a Dawid mae a ɛfa asɔfo, Lewifo ne sikakorabea ho.
16 So all the work of Solomon was set in order from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
Na Salomo hwɛɛ biribiara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no si so fi da a wotwaa ne fapem, kosi da a wɔde wiee si no.
17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the sea-shore in the land of Edom.
Akyiri no, Salomo kɔɔ Esion-Geber ne Elot a ɛyɛ ahyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Edom asase a ɛda Po Kɔkɔɔ mpoano hɔ no.
18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
Huram brɛɛ no ahyɛn a ɔno ankasa mpanyimfo hwɛ so; na emu adwumayɛfo no nim adwuma yiye. Salomo nkurɔfo ne saa ahyɛn yi kɔɔ Ofir asase so, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a na ɛkari bɛyɛ tɔn dunson brɛɛ Salomo.
