2 Chronicles 8
1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
Salomo dii ɔhene no, ne mfeɛ aduonu so na ɔwiee Awurade Asɔredan sie dwumadie kɛseɛ ne nʼankasa ahemfie no sie.
2 that the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
Afei, Salomo de nʼadwene kɔɔ nkuro a ɔhene Huram de ama no no so. Ɔsiesiee nkuro no, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ no kɔtenatenaa mu.
3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
Saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu nso na Salomo ko tiaa kuro Hamat-Soba, dii so nkonim.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
Ɔkyekyeree Tadmor bio wɔ ɛserɛ so, na ɔkyekyeree nkuro wɔ Hamat mantam mu a ɛhɔ na na wɔkora nneɛma.
5 Also he built Upper Beth Horon, and Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
Ɔbɔɔ nkuropɔn a na ɛwɔ atifi Bet-Horon ne anafoɔ Bet-Horon ho ban. Ɔsane too wɔn afasuo no, de apono a wɔbram akyire totoo ano.
6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Saa ɛberɛ yi, ɔsane kyekyeree Baalat ne mmeammea a wɔkora nneɛma wɔ hɔ, sane kyekyeree nkuropɔn a wɔbɛkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree mmeammea bi wɔ Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne ahemman no nyinaa mu maa nʼakoma tɔɔ ne yam.
7 As for all the people who were left of the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
Ɛbɛsi saa ɛberɛ no, na nnipa bi tete asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfoɔ. Na saa nnipa no yɛ Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ.
8 of their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel did not destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to this day.
Yeinom yɛ aman a Israel ntɔree wɔn ase korakora no asefoɔ. Ɛno enti, Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn maa wɔyɛɛ adwuma maa no. Na ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ, wɔsom sɛ apaafoɔ.
9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
Nanso, Salomo anhyɛ Israelni biara amma wanyɛ adwuma sɛ ɔpaani. Mmom, ɔmaa ebinom kɔyɛɛ asraafoɔ, mpanimfoɔ wɔ nʼakodɔm mu ne ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔkafoɔ so asahene.
10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon: five hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.
Ɔhene Salomo yii wɔn mu ahanu aduonum maa wɔkɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔsoɔnnwuma so.
11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the City of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of the LORD has come are holy."
Salomo yii ne yere a ɔyɛ Farao babaa firii Dawid kuro mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfie foforɔ a wasi ama no no mu. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ me yere tena Ɔhene Dawid ahemfie, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade Apam Adaka no si hɔ, enti ɛhɔ yɛ asase kronkron.”
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
Na Salomo bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia a wasi wɔ Asɔredan no abankua no anim no so, maa Awurade.
13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.
Ɛda biara, na wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ Mose hyɛɛ wɔn no. Afahyɛ ahodoɔ a wɔdiiɛ no bi ne Homeda, Ɔbosome Foforɔ Ɛda, ne mfirinhyia mmiɛnsa biara afahyɛ no mu a, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ, Otwaberɛ Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ.
14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the cohanim to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the cohanim, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
Salomo de asɔfoɔ no nnwuma rehyɛ wɔn nsa no, ɔfaa nʼagya Dawid akwankyerɛ so. Saa ara na ɔmaa Lewifoɔ no dii ɔmanfoɔ no anim too ayɛyie nnwom, na wɔboaa asɔfoɔ no wɔ wɔn daa daa nnwuma mu. Ɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ akuakuo no sisii wɔn apono ano sɛdeɛ Dawid, Onyankopɔn onipa no kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
15 They did not depart from the commandment of the king to the cohanim and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
Salomo ankwae amfiri akwankyerɛ a Dawid maeɛ a ɛfa asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne sikakorabea ho no.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
Na Salomo hwɛɛ sɛ biribiara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no sie ho firi da a wɔtwaa ne fapem, kɔsi da a wɔde wiee sie no adi mu.
17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eilat, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
Akyire no, Salomo kɔɔ Esion-Geber ne Elot a ɛyɛ ahyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Edom asase a ɛda Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ mpoano hɔ.
18 And Hiram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
Huram brɛɛ no ahyɛn a ɔno ankasa mpanimfoɔ hwɛ so, na emu adwumayɛfoɔ yɛ wɔn a wɔnim adwuma yie. Salomo nkurɔfoɔ ne saa ahyɛn yi kɔɔ Ofir asase so, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a na ɛkari bɛyɛ tɔno 17 brɛɛ Salomo.
