1 Kings 6
1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
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 The house which king Solomon built for the LORD, its length was one hundred three feet and four inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches.
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 The porch before the temple of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches was its length, according to the breadth of the house. Seventeen feet and three inches was its breadth 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 For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.
Salomo yɛɛ ntokua wɔ ɔfasuo no soro hyiaeɛ.
5 Against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side-rooms all around.
Asɔredan no fasukyire no nso, wɔsisii adan bebree fomfam ho hyiaeɛ.
6 The lowest story was eight feet and seven inches broad, and the middle was ten feet and four inches broad, and the third was twelve feet and one inch broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not have hold 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 The house, when it was in building, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and 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 And the door for the lowest side-rooms was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, 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 he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
Wɔwiee asɔredan no sie no, Salomo de nnua ne ntweneduro mpunan yɛɛ ani nsamsoɔ no.
10 He built the stories against all the house, each eight feet and seven inches 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 The word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo sɛ,
12 "Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your 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 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 He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards 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 He built thirty-four feet and five inches on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the beams, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, 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 In front of the temple sanctuary was sixty-eight feet and eleven inches.
Asɔredan no ankasa a na ɛwɔ kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no, na ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduosia.
18 And the inside of the house was cedar, carved with buds 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 He prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
Salomo siesiee kronkron mu kronkron a ɛtoa asɔredan no so; faako a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no bɛsi.
20 And before the sanctuary was thirty-four feet and five inches in length, and thirty-four feet and five inches in breadth, and thirty-four feet and five inches in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold. And he made the altar 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 drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, 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 The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
Enti, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ sam Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa ho, de wieeɛ.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each seventeen feet and three inches high.
Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngo dua senee Kerubim mmienu a emu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum, de sisii hɔ.
24 Eight feet and seven inches was the one wing of the cherub, and eight feet and seven inches the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were seventeen feet and three inches.
Kerubim baako biara ataban mu trɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ataban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.
25 The other cherub was seventeen feet and three inches: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
Na Kerubim mmienu no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ
26 The height of the one cherub was seventeen feet and three inches, and so was it of the other cherub.
a ɔbaako biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
27 He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Kerubim mmienu no ho.
29 He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
Na kronkronbea mu afasuo ne ɛdan mu no, ɔdii adwini a ɛyɛ Kerubim mmɛdua ne nhwiren guu ho.
30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa adan mmienu no abrannaa so.
31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and door 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 So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and on 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 he made for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of 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 two doors of fir wood: 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 He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
Saa apono yi, wɔde Kerubim, mmɛdua, ne nhwiren adi ho adwini, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
36 He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course 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 the LORD laid, in the month Ziv.
Wɔtwaa Awurade Asɔredan fapem no bosome Siv (bɛyɛ Kɔtɔnimaa) mfimfini a saa ɛberɛ no na Salomo adi ɔhene mfeɛ ɛnan no.
38 In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its fashion. 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.
