1 Kings 6
1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yhwh.
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 And the house which king Solomon built for Yhwh, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
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 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
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 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
Salomo yɛɛ ntokua wɔ ɔfasuo no soro hyiaeɛ.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
Asɔredan no fasukyire no nso, wɔsisii adan bebree fomfam ho hyiaeɛ.
6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
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 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
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 door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
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 he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
Wɔwiee asɔredan no sie no, Salomo de nnua ne ntweneduro mpunan yɛɛ ani nsamsoɔ no.
10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
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 And the word of Yhwh came to Solomon, saying,
Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo sɛ,
12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
“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 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
Mɛtena Israel mamfoɔ mu, na merempa me nkurɔfoɔ akyi da.”
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Na Salomo wiee asɔredan no sie.
15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
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 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for 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 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Asɔredan no ankasa a na ɛwɔ kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no, na ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduosia.
18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
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 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Yhwh.
Salomo siesiee kronkron mu kronkron a ɛtoa asɔredan no so; faako a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no bɛsi.
20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was 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 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it 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 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
Enti, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ sam Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa ho, de wieeɛ.
23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngo dua senee Kerubim mmienu a emu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum, de sisii hɔ.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
Kerubim baako biara ataban mu trɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ataban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
Na Kerubim mmienu no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
a ɔbaako biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
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 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Kerubim mmienu no ho.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
Na kronkronbea mu afasuo ne ɛdan mu no, ɔdii adwini a ɛyɛ Kerubim mmɛdua ne nhwiren guu ho.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa adan mmienu no abrannaa so.
31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Ɛkwan a wɔfa so kɔ kronkronbea mu hɔ no, Salomo de ngo dua yɛɛ apono mmienu a emu biara wɔ twɛtwɛwa enum.
32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
Saa apono no ho nso, na wɔadi Kerubim, mmɛdua ne nhwiren adwini, na ne nyinaa nso, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
Afei, ɔde ngo dua yɛɛ aponnwa a emu biara wɔ twɛtwɛwa ɛnan a wɔfa hɔ kɔ asɔredan no mu.
34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
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 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
Saa apono yi, wɔde Kerubim, mmɛdua, ne nhwiren adi ho adwini, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row 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 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Yhwh laid, in the month Zif:
Wɔtwaa Awurade Asɔredan fapem no bosome Siv (bɛyɛ Kɔtɔnimaa) mfimfini a saa ɛberɛ no na Salomo adi ɔhene mfeɛ ɛnan no.
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
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.
