< 1 Kings 9 >
1 And it was when had finished Solomon to build [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and all [the] desire of Solomon which he delighted to do.
Bere a Salomo wiee Awurade asɔredan no ne ahemfi no si no, ohuu sɛ wayɛ nea ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ no nyinaa awie.
2 And he appeared Yahweh to Solomon a second [time] just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no ne mprenu so, sɛnea na wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no wɔ Gibeon dedaw no.
3 And he said Yahweh to him I have heard prayer your and supplication your which you have sought favor before me I have consecrated the house this which you have built by putting name my there until perpetuity and they will be eyes my and heart my there all the days.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se: “Mate wo mpaebɔ ne wʼadesrɛ. Matew saa asɔredan yi a woasi no ho, sɛnea wɔbɛhyɛ me din anuonyam wɔ hɔ afebɔɔ. Mɛhwɛ so na mama mʼani aku ho.
4 And you if you will walk before me just as he walked David father your in integrity of heart and in uprightness by doing according to all that I have commanded you statutes my and judgments my you will keep.
“Na wo, sɛ wode nokware ne nyamesuro di mʼakyi, sɛnea wʼagya Dawid yɛe, na odii me mmara ne mʼahyɛde nyinaa so no a,
5 And I will establish [the] throne of kingdom your over Israel for ever just as I spoke on David father your saying not it will be cut off to you a man from on [the] throne of Israel.
metim wʼahenni nnidiso ase wɔ Israel afebɔɔ, sɛnea meka kyerɛɛ wʼagya Dawid se, ‘Ɛremma sɛ worennya ɔbarima bi ntena Israel ahengua no so da no.’
6 Certainly [if] you will turn back! you and descendants your from after me and not you will keep commandments my statutes my which I have set before you and you will walk and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them.
“Na sɛ wo anaa wo mmabarima dan fi me ho, na wubu mmara ne mʼahyɛde a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ wofi akyi kɔsom anyame afoforo, sɔre wɔn a,
7 And I will cut off Israel from on [the] surface of the ground which I have given to them and the house which I have consecrated for name my I will cast out from on face my and it will become Israel a byword and a taunt among all the peoples.
ɛno de, metwa Israel afi asase a mede ama wɔn no so, na mapo saa asɔredan a matew ho wɔ me din mu no. Ɛbɛma Israel atɔ sin, na ayɛ aserewde wɔ nnipa nyinaa mu.
8 And the house this it will be most high every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he will hiss and people will say concerning what? did he do Yahweh thus to the land this and to the house this.
Na ɛwɔ mu sɛ saa Asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ de, nanso wɔn a wobetwa mu wɔ ho no betwiri no, adi ho abooboo, abisa se, ‘Adɛn nti na Awurade ayɛ asase yi ne Asɔredan yi saa?’
9 And they will say on that they forsook Yahweh God their who he brought out ancestors their from [the] land of Egypt and they took hold on gods other (and they bowed down *Q(K)*) to them and they served them there-fore he has brought Yahweh on them all the calamity this.
Nnipa bebua se, ‘Efisɛ wɔapa Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a oyii wɔn agyanom fii Misraim no akyi, na wɔde wɔn ho akɔdan anyame afoforo a wɔresom wɔn, sɔre wɔn. Ɛno nti na Awurade ama saa ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ yi aba wɔn so no.’”
10 And it was from [the] end of twenty year[s] which he had built Solomon [the] two the houses [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king.
Mfe aduonu a Salomo de sii Awurade asɔredan no ne ahemfi no akyi,
11 Hiram [the] king of Tyre he had supported Solomon with wood of cedar and with wood of cypresses and with gold to all desire his then he gave the king Solomon to Hiram twenty citi[es] in [the] land of Galilee.
ɔhene Salomo de nkurow aduonu a ɛwɔ Galilea maa Tirohene Huram, efisɛ Huram maa no sida nnua ne ɔpepaw nnua ne sikakɔkɔɔ a na ohia.
12 And he came out Hiram from Tyre to see the cities which he had given to him Solomon and not they were pleasing in view his.
Huram fii Tiro kɔhwɛɛ nkurow a Salomo de ama no no, nanso nʼani ansɔ koraa.
13 And he said what? [are] the cities these which you have given to me O brother my and someone called them [the] land of Cabul until the day this.
Obisae se, “Me nua, na nkurow bɛn na wode ama me yi? Saa nkurow yi nni mu!” Enti ɔfrɛɛ hɔ Kabul, “Nea enni mu” de besi nnɛ.
14 And he had sent Hiram to the king one hundred and twenty talent[s] of gold.
Na Huram asoma ma wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ tɔn anan akɔma Salomo.
15 And this [is] [the] word of the forced labor which he raised - the king Solomon to build [the] house of Yahweh and own house his and the Millo and [the] wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
Ɔkwan a ɔhene Salomo faa so tintim, hyɛɛ nnipa, ma wosii Awurade asɔredan no ne nʼahemfi, Milo, Yerusalem fasu ne Hasor, Megido ne Geser nkurow no ni:
16 Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt he had gone up and he had captured Gezer and he had burned it with fire and the Canaanite[s] who was dwelling in the city he had killed and he had given it dowri to daughter his [the] wife of Solomon.
Misraimhene kotuaa Geser, gyee hɔ fae. Okum Kanaanfo a wɔte kurow no mu nyinaa, hyew hɔ pasaa. Ɔde kuropɔn no maa ne babea no sɛ akyɛde bere a ɔwaree Salomo no.
17 And he rebuilt Solomon Gezer and Beth Horon lower.
Enti Salomo san kyekyeree Geser kuropɔn no. Afei, ɔsan kyekyeree nkurow a ɛwɔ Bet-Horon anafo,
18 And Baalath and (Tadmor *Q(K)*) in the wilderness in the land.
Baalat ne Tamar wɔ sare so, nʼasase so.
19 And all [the] cities of storage which they belonged to Solomon and [the] cities of the chariotry and [the] cities of the horsemen and - [the] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all [the] land of dominion his.
Ɔkyekyeree nkurow a na wɔkora nnuan wɔ hɔ, kyekyeree nkuropɔn nso a na wɔkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne nʼaheman nyinaa, sɛnea ne koma pɛ.
20 All the people which remained of the Amorite[s] the Hittite[s] the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] who not [were] of [the] people of Israel they.
Na nnipa bi da so te asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfo. Wɔne Amorifo, Hetifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo.
21 Descendants their who they were left after them in the land whom not they were able [the] people of Israel to totally destroy them and he raised them Solomon to forced labor of laboring until the day this.
Eyinom ne aman a na Israel nwiee wɔn asetɔre korakora no asefo. Enti Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfo, na wɔda so yɛ de besi nnɛ.
22 And any of [the] people of Israel not he made Solomon a slave for they [were] [the] men of war and servants his and officials his and officers his and [the] commanders of chariotry his and horsemen his.
Nanso Salomo anhyɛ Israelfo amma wɔanyɛ ɔhyɛ nnwuma. Mmom, ɔma wɔyɛɛ asraafo, aban adwumayɛfo. Ɔmaa ebinom yɛɛ nʼakofo, ne nteaseɛnam ne ne nteaseɛnamkafo so asahene.
23 These - [were] [the] leaders of the overseers who [were] over the work of Solomon fifty and five hundred who ruled over the people who were doing the work.
Afei, oyii wɔn mu ahannum ne aduonum ma wɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔsodwuma ahorow so.
24 Only [the] daughter of Pharaoh she went up from [the] city of David to own house her which he had built for her then he built the Millo.
Bere a Salomo yii ne yere a ɛyɛ Farao babea no fii Dawid kurow no mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfi foforo a wasi ama no no mu no, ɔkyekyee Milo.
25 And he offered up Solomon three times in the year burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for Yahweh and he made smoke with it which [was] before Yahweh and he completed the house.
Na Salomo bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre ma Awurade afe biara wɔ afɔremuka a osii no so mprɛnsa. Na ɔne wɔn hyew aduhuam nso ma Awurade sɛ asodi a ɛda hɔ ma no wɔ asɔredan no.
26 And ship[s] he made the king Solomon at Ezion Geber which [is] with Elath on [the] shore of [the] sea of reed[s] in [the] land of Edom.
Ɔhene Salomo yɛɛ po so ahyɛn nso wɔ Esion-Geber, hyɛngyinabea a ɛbɛn Elot a ɛwɔ Edom asase so hɔ a ɛwɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ no mpoano.
27 And he sent Hiram in the ship[s] servants his men of ships [who] knew the sea with [the] servants of Solomon.
Na Huram maa nʼahyɛn mu adwumayɛfo a wonim hyɛn mu adwuma yiye no, ne Salomo nkurɔfo de ahyɛn no yɛɛ adwuma.
28 And they went Ophir towards and they took from there gold four hundred and twenty talent[s] and they brought [it] to the king Solomon.
Wɔyɛɛ adwuma kɔɔ Ofir, na wɔsan de sikakɔkɔɔ nsania ani nkaribo tɔn 16 brɛɛ Salomo.
