2 Chronicles 7
1 And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
Salomo wiee ne mpaeɛbɔ no, ogya firi ɔsoro bɛhyee ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔdeɛ, na Awurade animuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.
2 And the priests were not able to enter into the house of the Lord; because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
Asɔfoɔ no mpo antumi anhyɛne Awurade Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade animuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.
3 And all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ogya no reba fam, na Awurade animuonyam rehyɛ Asɔredan no ma no, wɔn nyinaa hwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuu hɔ, sɔree Awurade kamfoo no sɛ, “Ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!”
4 And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfoɔ no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade.
5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
Ɔhene Salomo de anantwie ɔpeduonu mmienu ne nnwan ɔpeha aduonu baeɛ sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ. Enti, ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa buee Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ano.
6 And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing.
Asɔfoɔ no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa, na saa ara na Lewifoɔ a wɔreto dwom sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!” no nso yɛeɛ. Wɔde nnwontodeɛ a Dawid yɛeɛ sɛ wɔmfa nkamfo Awurade no gyegyee nnwontoɔ no ho. Asɔfoɔ a wɔne Lewifoɔ no di nhwɛanimu no hyɛnee ntotorobɛnto wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ.
7 And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.
Na afei, Salomo buee adihɔ mfimfini a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim ano, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na wɔahye sradeɛ a ɛfiri asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ mu no wɔ hɔ. Ɔyɛɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a na wasi no, na ɛsua ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ne sradeɛ afɔdeɛ nyinaa no.
8 And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt.
Nnanson a ɛdi soɔ no mu, wɔdii Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ, na nipadɔm fifiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu baeɛ. Wɔfifiri akyirikyiri te sɛ Lebo Hamat a ɛwɔ atifi fam kɔsi Misraim asuwa anafoɔ fam no.
9 And they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held seven days, and the feast seven days.
Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, wɔde afahyɛ no kɔɔ nʼawieeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔde nnanson abue afɔrebukyia no ano na wɔde nnanson nso adi Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no.
10 And on the three-and-twentieth day of the seventh month he dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for Israel his people.
Afahyɛ no awieeɛ no, Salomo maa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom. Wɔn nyinaa ani gyeeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade ne Dawid, Salomo ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ adi no yie.
11 Thus did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
Na Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no ne ahemfie no sie. Ɔwiee biribiara a ɔhyehyɛ too hɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.
12 Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
Afei, da bi anadwo, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ, na mayi saa Asɔredan yi sɛ beaeɛ a wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ.
13 If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people:
“Ɛtɔ ɛda a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osuo rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma ntutummɛ abɛsɛe mo mfudeɛ anaa ebia mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba mo so.
14 And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Na sɛ me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔde me din frɛ wɔn no bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase, abɔ mpaeɛ, ahwehwɛ me, na wɔadane afiri wɔn amumuyɛsɛm ho a, mɛte wɔ ɔsoro, na mede wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn, asa wɔn asase yadeɛ.
15 Now, my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer on this place.
Mpaeɛ biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, mɛtie,
16 And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
ɛfiri sɛ, mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fie daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne mʼakoma bɛtena ha daa.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my ordinances:
“Na wo deɛ, sɛ wodi mʼakyi sɛdeɛ wʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ, na wotie mʼahyɛdeɛ, di me mmara nyinaa so a,
18 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
meremma obiara mfa wʼahennwa nkɔ. Saa bɔ korɔ yi ara na mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid wɔ ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, ‘Meremma onipa a ɔbɛdi Israel so ɔhene mmɔ no no.’
19 But if ye will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to them:
“Nanso, sɛ wogya me, na wobu mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mahyɛ wo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforɔ a,
20 Then will I pluck them up out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
ɛnneɛ, mɛtutu Israelfoɔ ase afiri mʼasase a mede ama wɔn yi so. Mɛpo saa Asɔredan a mayi asi hɔ a mede hyɛ me din animuonyam no. Mɛyɛ no ahohoradeɛ ama aman nyinaa ahunu.
21 And this house, which hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
Ɛwom, saa asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ deɛ, nanso ɛbɛyɛ atantanneɛ ama wɔn a wɔtwa mu hɔ no. Wɔbɛbisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na Awurade ama nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu sei aba nʼasase ne nʼAsɔredan yi so?’
22 And men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
Na mmuaeɛ bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, ne nkurɔfoɔ poo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim, kɔsomm anyame foforɔ. Ɛno enti, na ɔmaa saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.’”
