2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
Na Salomo fii ase sii Awurade Asɔredan no wɔ Yerusalem Moria bepɔw so a ɛhɔ na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo agya Ɔhene Dawid no. Wosii Asɔredan no wɔ Yebusini Arauna awiporowbea hɔ, baabi a Dawid yi too hɔ no.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Salomo dii ade no, ne mfe anan so, Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) mu, na wofii ɔdan no si ase.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Na Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no fapem ntwemu yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, na ne trɛw mu yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
Ntwironoo a ɛwɔ Asɔredan no anim trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa, a ɛne Asɔredan no trɛw yɛ pɛ. Afasu a ɛwɔ ntwironoo no mu no nyinaa, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura mu. Ntwironoo no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
5 Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
Ɔpepaw nnua na wɔde sam Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu so, dii mmedua ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn adwinni wɔ so.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
Abohemaa a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a efi Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasu ho.
7 They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ guu Asɔredan no afasu, afadum, apon ne abobow ano nyinaa ho, na wodii kerubim sɛso adwinni wɔ afasu no ho.
8 They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
Na Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa te sɛ asɔredan no ara, ne ntwemu nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa bɛyɛ nkaribo tɔn aduonu abiɛsa na wɔde guu so.
9 They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
Sikakɔkɔɔ nnadewa a biara kari bɛyɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson anum na wɔde dii ɔdan no ho dwuma. Sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa na wɔde guu soro adan no afasu ani.
10 Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Salomo yɛɛ kerubim sɛso abien, de sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu ho. Wɔde eyinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
11 [Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
Kerubim abien no a wosisi hɔ no ntaban ka bɔ mu a, ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Kerubim baako ntaban baako a ɛpem ɔfasu no tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Ntaban baako no nso a ɛyɛ anammɔn ason ne fa no, ɛne kerubim baako no ntaban hyia.
Saa ara nso na kerubim a ɔto so abien no ntaban baako mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa, na ɛpem Asɔredan no fasu a ɛne ɔfasu baako no di nhwɛanim. Ntaban baako a aka no nso trɛw a ɛyɛ anammɔn ason ne fa no, ehyia kerubim a edi kan no ntaban baako.
13 It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
Enti na kerubim abien no ntaban mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na wɔn nyinaa sisi hɔ a wɔn anim kyerɛ Asɔredan no mu.
14 Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
Salomo de ntwamtam a ɔde bibiri ne asaawa a ɛbere dum ne koogyan ne nwera ayɛ, a wɔanwen kerubim nsɛsode agu mu, sɛn Kronkron mu Kronkron no kwan ano.
15 They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
Asɔredan no anim, Salomo yɛɛ afadum abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason. Na ntaaso kata emu biara atifi a ɛno nso sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
16 The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsan yɛɛ atoaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de susoo ntweaban no mu.
17 They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
Afei, ɔde afadum abien no sisii Asɔredan no ano kwan ano. Ɔde baako sii ɔkwan no anafo fam no ano, na ɔde baako nso sii atifi fam. Ɔtoo nea ɛwɔ anafo fam no din Yakin, na nea ɛwɔ atifi fam no, ɔtoo no din Boas.
