1 Kings 7

1 But, his own house, was Solomon thirteen years in building, —so he finished all his house.

Salomo san sii ɔno ankasa nʼahemfi. Na mfirihyia dumiɛnsa na ɔde wiee ahemfi no si.

2 Yea he built the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits, the length thereof, and, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and, thirty cubits, the height thereof, —upon four rows of pillars of cedar, with beams of cedar, upon the pillars;

Na wɔfrɛ Salomo adan no mu baako Lebanon Kwae Ahemfi. Na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum, na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum. Na sida nsamso no mpuran no deda sida fadum anan a wɔatoto ahyehyɛ no tee no so.

3 and it was covered with cedar above upon the joists, that were on forty-five pillars, —fifteen in a row.

Na wɔabɔ sida nsɛmso a etweri mpuran aduanan anum a ɛno nso gugu afadum a wɔatoto, ahyehyɛ no ntentenso abiɛsa mu a, dunum na ɛwɔ ntentenso baako biara mu.

4 And there were, window spaces, in three rows, —and light over against light, three times.

Afasu no fa biara, mfɛnsere sesa so abiɛsa abiɛsa a edidi nhwɛanim.

5 And, all the openings and the posts, were square in their frame, —and light was over against light, three times.

Apon no akwan nyinaa, wɔayɛ no ahinanan abiɛsa abiɛsa a edidi nhwɛanim.

6 And, a porch of pillars, made he, fifty cubits, in length, and, thirty cubits, in breadth, —and, a porch, was on the one front of them, and pillars and threshold, were on the other front of them.

Osii afadum asa a ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum. Na ntwironoo a wɔakuru so wɔ anim a esi afadum so.

7 And, a porch for the throne, where he should judge, even the porch of judgment, made he, and it was wainscotted with cedar, from floor to ceiling.

Na ahengua asa a na wonim no sɛ atemmu asa nso wɔ hɔ. Ɛhɔ na na Salomo tena di nsɛm. Na wɔde sida asam mu fi fam, de kosi nsamso so.

8 And, his own house where he should dwell, in the other court within the porch, was, of like workmanship unto this, —a house also, made he, for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken [to wife], in a similar porch.

Faako a na Salomo te no twa asennii a ɛwɔ asa no akyi no ho hyia. Ɔkwan koro no ara so na wɔfa de sii. Osii ne dan no sɛso de maa Farao babea a na ɔyɛ ne yerenom no mu baako.

9 All these, were of costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stones, sawn with saws, within and without, —even from the foundation, unto the coping, and without as far as the great court.

Abo akɛse a wɔatwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a ne bo yɛ den yiye na wɔde sii saa adan no.

10 And, the foundation, was of costly stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

Abo a wɔde too ɔdan no fapem no tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dunum, na bi nso tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dumien.

11 And, above, were costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stone, and cedar.

Abo a ne bo yɛ den yiye a wɔde sii afasu no nso, na wɔasusuw, atwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a sida mpuran nso ka ho.

12 And, the great court round about, was of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of beams of cedar, —both to the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and to the porch of the house.

Adiwo kɛse no afasu no nso, wɔto de sida mpuran ntaaso baako biara too abo a wɔatwa ntaaso abiɛsa biara so, te sɛ afasu a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mfimfini mu hɔ a ntwironoo kwan ka ho.

13 And King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram, out of Tyre:

Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ɔbarima bi a ofi Tiro a ne din de Huram ase sɛ omfi Tiro mmra,

14 son of a widow woman, was he of the tribe of Naphtali, but, his father, was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze, and he was filled with wisdom, and discernment, and knowledge, for executing all manner of work in bronze, —so he came unto King Solomon, and executed all his work.

efisɛ na ɔyɛ odwumfo a onim kɔbere mfrafrae ho adwinne yiye. Na ne fa yɛ Israelni, efisɛ ne na yɛ okunafo a ofi Naftali abusua mu. Na nʼagya nso yɛ adwuma wɔ baabi a wɔnan nnade wɔ Tiro. Enti ɔbɛyɛɛ adwuma maa ɔhene Salomo.

15 And he cast two pillars of bronze, —eighteen cubits, the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, would surround the second pillar.

Huram twaa kɔbere mfrafrae afadum abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason, na ne afefarem nso yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.

16 And, two capitals, made he, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten bronze, —five cubits, was the height of the one capital, and, five cubits, the height of the other capital;

Ɔde kɔbere mfrafrae yɛɛ afadum no apampam ntaaso a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.

17 with a frame of checker work, wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, —seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

Ntaaso biara nso, wɔde ɔtan a wɔanwen ason ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn na ahyehyɛ ho.

18 So he made the pillars, —and, two rows round about, upon the one frame of checker work, covering the capitals which were upon the top with pomegranates, thus also, did he for the other capital.

Na ɔyɛɛ atoaa nsɛso a ɛsesa so tee abien bebaree ɔtan a wɔanwen no de siesiee ntaaso a ɛwɔ afadum no atifi.

19 And, the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in span, four cubits.

Ntaaso a ɛwɔ afadum a ɛwɔ ntwironoo no mu no, na wɔayɛ no sɛ sukooko a ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia.

20 And there were capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close by the belly, which was beside the checker work, —and there were two hundred pomegranates, in rows round about, upon either capital.

Ntaaso biara a na ɛwɔ afadum abien no so no nso, na atoaa nsɛso ahannu a wɔahyehyɛ no tee abien atwa ho ahyia a, ɛyɛ kurukuruwa a ɛtoa ɔtan a wɔanwen no so.

21 So he reared the pillars for the porch of the temple, —yea he reared the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin, and reared the left pillar, and called the name thereof, Boaz.

Huram de afadum no sisii Asɔredan no kwan ano a baako kyerɛ anafo fam na baako nso kyerɛ atifi fam. Ɔtoo baako a ɛkyerɛ anafo fam no din Yakin (Ɔde tim) na nea ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, ɔtoo no Boas (Ne mu na ahoɔden wɔ).

22 And, upon the top of the pillars, was lily work, —which gave finish to the work of the pillars.

Afadum no ntaaso no, wɔyɛɛ no sɛ sukooko. Saa na ɔyɛ de wiee afadum no ho adwuma.

23 And he made a molten sea, —ten cubits from the one brim to the other, it was round all about, and, five cubits, was the height thereof, and, a line of thirty cubits, would encompass it round about.

Afei, Huram twaa nsukorade kurukuruwa kɛse bi a efi ano kɔka ano no yɛ anammɔn dunum. Wɔtoo ne din Po. Na emu tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa, nʼafefare mu nso yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum.

24 And, colocynths, were under the brim thereof round about, encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea, round about, —two rows of colocynths, made in the casting thereof:

Na Po no wɔ nsɛsode a ɛte sɛ anantwi a atwa afa ano no ase ahyia. Anammɔn baako biara mu no, na anantwi sɛso asia wɔ so a wɔagu ama afra nsukorade no.

25 standing upon twelve oxen, three looking northward, and three looking westward, and three looking southward, and three looking eastward, the sea, being upon them above, —all their hinder parts, being, inward.

Na Po no si nsiase a ɛyɛ kɔbere mfrafrae anantwi dumien sɛso so. Na wɔn nyinaa ani kyerɛkyerɛ abɔnten. Abiɛsa ani kyerɛ atifi fam. Abiɛsa ani kyerɛ atɔe fam. Abiɛsa kyerɛ anafo fam, na abiɛsa nso ani kyerɛ apuei fam.

26 And, the thickness thereof, was a hand breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim-work of a cup, of lily-blossoms, —two thousand baths, did it contain.

Na Po no afasu mu piw bɛyɛ nsateaato abiɛsa, na ano no trɛw te sɛ kuruwa, na na ɛte sɛ sukooko a apae. Na ebetumi akora nsu bɛyɛ galɔn mpem dubaako.

27 And he made ten stands of bronze, —four cubits, the length of each stand, and, four cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof.

Huram san yɛɛ nteaseɛnam du a wɔde twe nsu a emu biara tenten mu yɛ anammɔn asia na ne trɛw mu nso yɛ anammɔn asia, na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn anan ne fa.

28 And, this, was the work of the stand, there were, side walls, to them, —and, the side-walls, were between joining ledges;

Na sɛnea wɔyɛɛ nteaseɛnam no ne sɛ, ɛwowɔ ntetareho ntrantraa a wɔabram so.

29 and, upon the side-walls which were between the ledges, were lions, oxen, and cherubim, and, upon the ledges, was a pedestal above, and, beneath the lions and oxen, a wreath of hanging work.

Wɔde gyata, anantwi ne kerubim a wɔasen siesiee ntetareho no ne nnade a wɔde bram ɔpon akyi no. Gyata no ne anantwi no so ne wɔn ase na wɔagu nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ, de asiesie wɔn.

30 And, four wheels of bronze, had each stand, with axles of bronze, and, the four steps thereof, had shoulder pieces, —under the laver, were the molten shoulder-pieces, over against each wreath.

Na saa nteaseɛnam no mu biara wɔ kɔbere mfrafrae ntwahonan anan ne kɔbere mfrafrae ntwahodade. Na nteaseɛnam biara twɔtwɔw no wɔ nnyinaso afadum de ma kɔbere mfrafrae nsukorade no; saa nnyinaso no ho na wɔadi nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ adwinni.

31 And, the mouth thereof, within the capital and upwards, was a cubit, and, the mouth thereof, was round, of pedestal work, a cubit and a half, —moreover also, upon the mouth thereof, were gravings, with their side-walls four-square, not round.

Nteaseɛnam no biara wɔ nnyinaso kurukuruwa bi wɔ nʼatifi ma nsukorade no. Na ehwirew mu, kɔ soro bɛyɛ ɔnammɔn baako ne fa wɔ teaseɛnam no atifi te sɛ ntaamude kurukuruwa bi. Na ano a abue no yɛ anammɔn abien ne nsateaa abiɛsa. Ɛho no na wɔde nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ adwinni asiesie. Na nteaseɛnam no ntetareho no yɛ ahinanan na ɛnyɛ kurukuruwa.

32 And, four wheels, were beneath the side-walls, the axletrees of the wheels, being in the stands, —and, the height of each wheel, was a cubit and a half:

Ntetareso no ase na ntwahonan anan a wɔde atoa ntwahodade so a wɔagu ne nyinaa atoa mu ayɛ baako no hyehyɛ. Na efi ntwahonan no dantaban ano kosi ano yɛ anammɔn abien ne nsateaa abiɛsa,

33 and, the work of the wheels, was like the work of a chariot-wheel; and, their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, the whole, were molten.

a na ɛte sɛ teaseɛnam a ɛwɔ ntwahonan abien. Emu ntwahodade, mparow, hankare ne nea ɛhyɛ mfimfini no nyinaa, wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae na ɛyɛe.

34 And there were, four shoulder-pieces, at the four corners of each stand, of the stand itself, were the shoulder-pieces thereof.

Na nsusomu nsa anan wowɔ nteaseɛnam no atwɔtwɔw anan no biara so a epuepue fi nteaseɛnam no so.

35 And, in the top of the stand, half a cubit in height, was a circular piece round about, —and, on the top of the stand, the tenons thereof, and, the side-walls thereof, were of the same.

Nteaseɛnam no mu biara atifi no na na hankare bi a ne trɛw yɛ nsateaa akron wɔ. Nsusomu no ne nkyɛnkyɛn ntetareho no nso, wɔagu ama ɛne teaseɛnam no atoa mu.

36 Then carved he, upon the plates of the tenons thereof, and upon the side-walls thereof, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, —according to the open space of each with a wreath round about.

Wɔde kerubim, gyata ne mmedua a wɔasen siesiee ntetareho no ne nnyinaso ahorow no ho baabiara a kwan wɔ. Na wɔagu nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ atwa ho nyinaa ahyia.

37 Thus, made he the ten stands, —one mould, one measure, one shape, had they, all.

Nsu nteaseɛnam du no, na ne nyinaa akɛse yɛ pɛ, na ne nyinaa sesɛ, na woguu ne nyinaa wɔ ade koro mu.

38 Then made he ten lavers of bronze, —forty baths, would each laver contain, four cubits, was each laver, one laver, was on each of, the ten stands.

Huram san yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafrae nsukorade du de maa nteaseɛnam no mu biara. Na nsukorade no mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn asia a etumi kora nsu gyare ahannu aduonu.

39 And he set the stands, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house, —but, the sea, he set on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south.

Ɔhyehyɛɛ nsu nteaseɛnam no anum wɔ Asɔredan no anafo fam, na anum nso wɔ atifi fam. Wɔde Po no sii Asɔredan no anafo apuei fam twɔtwɔw so.

40 And Hiram made lavers, and shovels, and bowls, —and Hiram ended the doing of all the work which he wrought for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh:

Afei, ɔyɛɛ nkuku, sofi ne nsukorade a ɛho hia. Ne korakora no, Huram wiee biribiara a ɔhene Salomo kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho:

41 two pillars, —and the bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the two pillars, —and the two frames of checker-work, covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were upon the top of the pillars;

Afadum abien, afadumti a wɔayɛ no sɛ asuhina abien a esisi afadum no atifi, ntweaban a wɔayɛ no sɛ atena abien a wɔde asiesie afadumti no,

42 and the four hundred pomegranates, for the two frames of checker-work, —two rows of pomegranates to each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;

atoaa nsɛso ahannan a ɛsensɛn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a egu ntaaso no so (atoaa a wɔahyehyɛ no ntenten so abien a biara sa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛsensɛn ntaaso a egu afadum no atifi no so no),

43 and the ten stands, —with the ten lavers upon the stands;

nsu nteaseɛnam du a nsukorade du sisi so,

44 and the one sea, —with the twelve oxen under the sea;

Po no ne anantwi dumien a ɛhyehyɛ ase,

45 and the pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls, and, all these vessels which Hiram made King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh, were of burnished bronze.

Nkuku, sofi ne nsukorade. Na nkuku ne nkaka a Huram yɛ maa ɔhene Salomo de guu Awurade Asɔredan mu no nyinaa yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae a wɔapɔw ho.

46 In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground, —between Succoth and Zarethan.

Ɔhene no ma woguu no wɔ kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan tataw a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no so.

47 And Solomon let all the vessels be, because of their exceeding great multitude, —the weight of the bronze was not found out.

Salomo ankari nkuku ne nkaka no, efisɛ na ɛdɔɔso dodo; na kɔbere mfrafrae no mu duru nso, wɔantumi ankari.

48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh, —the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereon was the presence-bread;

Na Salomo de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa siesiee Awurade Asɔredan no mu: sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka, sikakɔkɔɔ kyerɛwpon a Ne Daa Nwɔhɔ brodo gu so,

49 and the lamp-holders—five on the right and five on the left, before the shrine, of pure gold, —with the blossoms, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua a anum sisi anafo fam, na anum sisi atifi fam wɔ kronkron mu kronkron anim hɔ; nhwiren a wɔde asiesie hɔ, akanea ne mpiakyiri a ne nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ,

50 and the bowls, and the snuffers, and the tossing bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold, —and the hinge-holes, for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house itself, the temple, of, gold.

nkuruwa, akanea adabaw, nsiso, nsanka ne nkankyee a wɔnoa mu nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nko ara; ɔkwan ano apon a ɛkɔ kronkron mu kronkron ne Asɔredan no mu ne anim nyinaa, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.

51 So was completed all the work which King Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father—the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.

Ɔhene Salomo wiee Awurade asɔredan no ho adwuma nyinaa. Na Salomo de akyɛde a nʼagya Dawid ato din no nyinaa a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne nkuku ne nkaka ba bɛkoraa wɔ adekoradan mu wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.
