Chronicles I 29
1 And David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom the Lord has chosen, [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great; for [it is] not for man, but for the Lord God.
Afei, Ɔhene Dawid danee nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Me babarima Salomo a Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ ɔnni Israel so sɛ ɔhene foforɔ no da so yɛ abɔfra a ɔnni suahunu biara. Adwuma a ɛda nʼanim no so, na Asɔredan a ɔbɛsi no nyɛ ɛdan hunu bi. Ɛyɛ Awurade Onyankopɔn no ankasa dea.
2 I have prepared according to all [my] might for the house of my God gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, onyx stones, and costly and variegated stones for setting, and every precious stone, and much Parian [marble].
Mede deɛ metumi yɛ biara adi dwuma, maboaboa deɛ mɛtumi anya nyinaa ano ama me Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no sie. Seesei, sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ, nnadeɛ ne nnua ne apopobibirieboɔ ne aboɔdemmoɔ, aboɔden agudeɛ ne abopa ne abohemaa ahodoɔ nyinaa pii wɔ hɔ.
3 And still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house.
Na ɛsiane me ho a mede ama me Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no enti, mede mʼankasa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ bɛboa ɛdan no sie. Yeinom bɛka adansie no ho nneɛma a maboaboa ano, ama asɔredan kronkron no ho.
4 Three thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary:
Mama Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛboro tɔno 112 ne dwetɛ a wɔahoa ho tɔno 262 a wɔde bɛgu adan no afasuo anim,
5 [for you to use] the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord?
ne sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nnwuma a aka a adwumfoɔ no bɛyɛ no. Afei, hwan na ɔbɛyi ne yam de nʼayɛyɛdeɛ ama Awurade ɛnnɛ?”
6 Then the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly.
Na abusua ntuanofoɔ, Israel mmusuakuo ntuanofoɔ, asahene ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ ne ɔhene adwumayɛfoɔ nyinaa firii ɔpɛ pa mu maeɛ.
7 And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold [pieces], and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.
Wɔmaa sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ tɔno 188, sika ankasa ɔpedu, ɛnna dwetɛ bɛyɛ tɔno 375, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ bɛyɛ tɔno 675 ne nnadeɛ bɛyɛ tɔno 3,750, de boaa Asɔredan no sie.
8 And they who had [precious] stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite.
Wɔmaa aboɔdemmoɔ bebree a wɔkɔkoraa no wɔ sikakorabea a ɛwɔ Awurade fie maa Yehiel a ɔyɛ Gerson aseni hwɛɛ so.
9 And the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.
Nnipa no ani gyee ɔma no ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔfiri ɔpɛ pa ne akoma pa mu na wɔyiyi maa Awurade, na Ɔhene Dawid ani gyee yie.
10 And king David blessed the Lord before the congregation, saying, Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting and to everlasting.
Na ɔhene Dawid kamfoo Awurade wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim sɛ, “Ao Awurade, yɛn agya Israel Onyankopɔn, ayɛyie nka wo daa nyinaa.
11 Your, O Lord, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the might: for you are Lord of all things that are in heaven and upon the earth: before your face every king and nation is troubled.
Kɛseyɛ, ahoɔden, animuonyam, nkonimdie ne tumi yɛ wo dea Ao Awurade. Biribiara a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase so yɛ wo dea, Ao Awurade, na ahennie yi nso wɔ wo. Yɛma wo so sɛ wone adeɛ nyinaa so otumfoɔ.
12 From you [come] wealth and glory: you, O Lord, rule over all, the Lord of all dominion, and in your hand [is] strength and rule; and [you are] almighty with your hand to increase and establish all things.
Ahonya ne animuonyam firi wo nko ara, ɛfiri sɛ, woyɛ adeɛ nyinaa sodifoɔ. Tumi ne ahoɔden nyinaa wɔ wo nsam na wopɛ mu na wofiri ma nnipa yɛ kɛseɛ na wɔnya ahoɔden.
13 And now, Lord, we give thanks to you, and praise your glorious name.
Ao, yɛn Onyankopɔn, yɛda wo ase, na yɛkamfo wo din kronkron no.
14 But who am I, and what [is] my people, that we have been able to be thus forward [in offering] to you? for all things [are] your, and of your own have we given you,
“Na me ne hwan na me nkurɔfoɔ ne nnipa bɛn a yɛtumi kyɛ wo biribi? Biribiara a yɛwɔ no firi wo nkyɛn, na deɛ yɛde ma wo no yɛ deɛ wode ama yɛn dada.
15 for we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]: our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.
Yɛwɔ ha mmerɛ tiawa bi sɛ nsrahwɛfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ wɔ asase a yɛn agyanom dii ɛkan wɔ so no so. Yɛn nna wɔ asase so te sɛ sunsumma a ɛtwam kɔ ntɛm so a wɔnhunu bio.
16 O Lord our God, as for all this abundance which I have prepared that a house should be built to your holy name, it is of your hand, and all [is] your.
Ao Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, saa nneɛma a yɛaboaboa ano de rebɛsi asɔredan de ahyɛ wo din kronkron animuonyam yi mpo firi wo nkyɛn! Ne nyinaa yɛ wo dea.
17 And I know, Lord, that you are he that searches the hearts, and you love righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart; and now I have seen with joy your people here present, willingly offering to you.
Me Onyankopɔn, menim sɛ wohwehwɛ yɛn akoma mu, na sɛ wohunu nokorɛdie wɔ mu a, wʼani gye. Wonim sɛ mede adwene pa na ɛyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa, na mahwɛ ahunu sɛdeɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ firi akoma pa ne anigyeɛ mu de wɔn akyɛdeɛ aba.
18 O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, preserve these things in the thought of the heart of your people for ever, and direct their hearts to you.
Ao, Awurade, yɛn agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Israel Onyankopɔn, ma wo nkurɔfoɔ nyɛ ɔsetie mma wo daa. Mma ɔdɔ a wɔde dɔ wo no nsesa.
19 And to Solomon my son give a good heart, to perform your commandments, and [to observe] your testimonies, and your ordinances, and to accomplish the building of your house.
Ma me babarima Salomo akoma nyinaa mu ɔpɛ pa, na ɔnni wʼahyɛdeɛ, wo mmara ne wo nkyerɛkyerɛ so, na ɔnsi saa Asɔredan yi a mayɛ ho ahoboa nyinaa yi.”
20 And David said to the whole congregation, Bless you the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and they bowed the knee and worshipped the Lord, and [did obeisance] to the king.
Afei, Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa sɛ, “Monkamfo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn!” Na ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa kamfoo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn, na wɔkoto buu nkotodwe wɔ Awurade ne ɔhene no anim.
21 And David sacrificed to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the morrow after the first day, a thousand calves, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, wɔde anantwinini apem, nnwennini apem ne nnwanmmaa anini apem bɛbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Wɔsane gyinaa Israel ananmu, de ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ pii ne afɔrebɔdeɛ ahodoɔ baeɛ.
22 And they ate and drank joyfully that day before the Lord: and they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and anointed him king before the Lord, and Sadoc to the priesthood.
Wɔde ahosɛpɛ didi nomee da no wɔ Awurade anim. Na bio, wɔhyɛɛ Dawid babarima Salomo ahenkyɛ sɛ wɔn ɔhene foforɔ. Wɔsraa no ngo wɔ Awurade anim sɛ wɔn ntuanoni, na wɔsraa Sadok nso ngo sɛ wɔn ɔsɔfoɔ.
23 And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and was highly honored; and all Israel obeyed him.
Na Salomo tenaa Awurade ahennwa no so sɛ nʼagya Dawid ɔnanmusini, na ɔkɔɔ so yie, na Israel nyinaa tiee no.
24 The princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons of king David his father, were subject to him.
Adehyeɛ mpanimfoɔ nyinaa, asahene ne Dawid mmammarima nyinaa suae kyerɛɛ ɔhene Salomo.
25 And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as was not upon any king before him.
Na Awurade pagyaa Salomo maa Israelman no maa no nidie nwanwasoɔ, na ɔmaa Salomo ahonya ne animuonyam sene nʼagya.
26 And David the son of Jessae reigned over Israel forty years;
Enti, Yisai babarima Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene.
27 seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Israel mfeɛ aduanan a ne nkyerɛmu ne sɛ, ɔtenaa Hebron mfeɛ nson dii adeɛ, na mfeɛ aduasa mmiɛnsa nso, ɔtenaa Yerusalem.
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, in wealth, and glory: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
Ɔtenaa ase kyɛree, nyinii yie, nyaa ahodeɛ ne animuonyam ansa na ɔrewu. Na ne babarima Salomo dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
29 And the rest of the acts of David, the former and the latter, are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,
Ɛfiri Ɔhene Dawid adedie ahyɛaseɛ de kɔsi nʼawieeɛ mu nsɛm nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu ɔdehunufoɔ Samuel abakɔsɛm nwoma, odiyifoɔ Natan abakɔsɛm nwoma ne ɔdehunufoɔ Gad abakɔsɛm nwoma mu.
30 concerning all his reign, and his power, and the times which went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the earth.
Nʼadedie mu akokoɔdurusɛm ne biribiara a ɛbaa ne so, Israel ne ahennie ahodoɔ a atwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa nso yɛ nsɛm a wɔatwerɛ.
