< 1 Chronicles 28 >

1 And David assembles all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the divisions who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, and of every mighty man of valor—to Jerusalem.
Dawid frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem. Saa mpanyimfo no ne mmusuakuw no ntuanofo, asahene a wɔdeda asraafodɔm akuw dumien no ano, asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔaka no, wɔn a wɔhwɛ ɔhene agyapade ne ne mmoa so, ahemfi nhenkwaa, akofo akɛse ne akofo a wɔaka wɔ ahenni no mu no.
2 And David the king rises on his feet and says, “Hear me, my brothers and my people, I [had it] with my heart to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build,
Dawid sɔre gyinaa wɔn anim, kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me nuanom ne me nkurɔfo, anka mepɛɛ sɛ misi asɔredan a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka, Onyankopɔn anan ntiaso no besi afebɔɔ. Meyɛɛ ho ahoboa nyinaa sɛ mede rebesi,
3 and God has said to me, You do not build a house for My Name, for you [are] a man of wars, and you have shed blood.
nanso Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wusi asɔredan de hyɛ me din anuonyam, efisɛ woyɛ ɔkofo a woahwie mogya bebree agu.’
4 And YHWH, God of Israel, fixes on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel for all time, for He has fixed on Judah for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He has been pleased with me to make [me] king over all Israel;
“Nanso Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ayi me wɔ mʼagya abusua mu sɛ, minni ɔhene wɔ Israel so daa. Na wayi Yuda abusuakuw sɛ wonni hene na Yuda mmusua mu nso, oyii mʼagya abusua. Na mʼagya mma mu no nso, ɛyɛɛ Awurade fɛ sɛ osii me Israel nyinaa so hene.
5 and out of all my sons—for YHWH has given many sons to me—He also fixes on my son Solomon, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of YHWH over Israel,
Na me mmabarima pii a Awurade de wɔn maa me no mu nso, oyii Salomo sɛ ɔntena Awurade ahenni agua no so nni Israel so.
6 and says to me, Your son Solomon builds My house and My courts, for I have fixed on him [to be] to Me for a son, and I am to him for a father.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Wo babarima Salomo na obesi mʼasɔredan ne nʼadiwo nyinaa, efisɛ mayi no sɛ me babarima na mɛyɛ nʼagya.
7 And I have established his kingdom for all time, if he is strong to do My commands and My judgments, as at this day.
Na sɛ ɔkɔ so di mʼahyɛde ne me mmara so, sɛnea ɔyɛ mprempren yi a, mɛma nʼahenni atim afebɔɔ.’
8 And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of YHWH, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of your God YHWH, so that you possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you for all time.
“Enti mprempren a Onyankopɔn yɛ yɛn dansifo yi, menam wo so de saa asodi yi ma Israel nyinaa a wɔyɛ Awurade manfo no: Monhwɛ yiye na munni Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde nyinaa so sɛnea mobɛfa saa asase pa yi, na moagyaw ama mo asefo sɛ wɔn agyapade daa.
9 And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for YHWH is seeking all hearts, and He is understanding every imagination of the thoughts; if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He casts you off forever.
“Afei, me ba Salomo, hu wʼagyanom Nyankopɔn. Fa wo koma ne wʼadwene nyinaa sɔre no, na som no. Efisɛ Awurade hu koma biara mu, enti ohu na onim emu nhyehyɛe ne nsusuwii biara. Sɛ wohwehwɛ no a, wubehu no. Na sɛ wopo no a, ɔbɛpo wo afebɔɔ.
10 See, now, for YHWH has fixed on you to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.”
Enti fa no asɛnhia. Awurade ayi wo sɛ si asɔredan ma no, sɛ ne kronkronbea. Yɛ den, na di dwuma no.”
11 And David gives to his son Solomon the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;
Afei Dawid de asɔredan no ho mfoni a sikakorabea, soro adan, emu adan ne emu kronkronbea a Apam Adaka no afefare mu a ɛhɔ yɛ mpatabea, faako a wɔde Adaka no besi maa Salomo.
12 and the pattern of all that has been with him by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of YHWH, and for all the surrounding chambers, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;
Nhyehyɛe biara a Honhom no de maa Dawid a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan adiwo ho, akyi adan, Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu sikakorabea ne akyɛde a wɔde ama Onyankopɔn no, ɔkyerɛɛ Salomo.
13 and for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and for all vessels of service of the house of YHWH,
Saa ara na ɔhene no kyerɛɛ Salomo dwuma a asɔfo ne Lewifo nkyekyɛmu ahorow no nyɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu. Na ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nneɛma pɔtee a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu a wɔde sɔre Awurade ne nea wɔde bɔ afɔre.
14 even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all instruments of every service; for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every service;
Dawid kyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ nneɛma a ɛho behia.
15 and [by] weight for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight [for] lampstand and lampstand, and its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for a lampstand and its lamps, according to the service of lampstand and lampstand;
Ɔkyerɛɛ Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ dodow a ɛho behia ama sikakɔkɔɔ akaneadua no ne akanea no, na ɔkyerɛɛ dwetɛ dodow a ɛho behia ama dwetɛ akaneadua no ne akanea no yɛ, ne ɔkwan ko a wɔbɛfa so de emu biara adi dwuma no.
16 and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement, for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver;
Ɔkyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ ɔpon a wɔde Daa Daa Brodo no bɛto so; na ɔkyerɛɛ dwetɛ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ apon a ɛka ho no.
17 and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold, and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin,
Dawid san kyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ nam darewa a wɔde besuso afɔrebɔ nam mu, hweaseammɔ, sukuruwa ne nyowa ne dwetɛ dodow a wɔmfa nyɛ asanka biara.
18 and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, spreading and covering over the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH.
Nea ɔde wiee ne sɛ, ɔkyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔabere ho dodow a wɔde bɛyɛ nnuhuam afɔremuka no ne sikakɔkɔɔ kerubim a ne ntaban atrɛw wɔ Awurade Adaka no so.
19 The whole [is] in writing from the hand of YHWH, “He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,” [said David.]
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Saa mfoni yi nyinaa, Awurade nsa na ɔde kyerɛw maa me.”
20 And David says to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do; do not fear nor be frightened, for YHWH God, my God, [is] with you; He does not fail you, nor forsake you, to the completion of all the work of the service of the house of YHWH.
Afei, Dawid toaa so se, “Yɛ den na ma wo bo nyɛ duru na yɛ adwuma no. Nsuro na mma dwumadi no kɛseyɛ ntu wo bo, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn, me Nyankopɔn, ka wo ho. Ɔrenni wo huammɔ na ɔrennya wo. Ɔbɛhwɛ sɛ dwumadi biara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no si ho no, wobewie no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
21 And behold, divisions of the priests and of the Levites [are] for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and the heads and all the people [are] according to all your words.”
Asɔfo ne Lewifo akuw no bɛsom wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu. Wɔn a aka a wɔwɔ nimdeɛ ahorow no nyinaa beyi wɔn yam aboa, na ntuanofo ne ɔman no nyinaa nso bɛyɛ biribiara a wobɛka.”
