2 Chronicles 7

1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

Salomo wiee ne mpaebɔ no, ogya fi ɔsoro bɛhyew ɔhyew afɔre ne afɔrebɔde no, na Awurade anuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.

2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.

Asɔfo no mpo antumi anhyɛn Awurade Asɔredan no mu, efisɛ na Awurade anuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.

3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshiped, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

Bere a Israelfo nyinaa huu sɛ ogya no reba fam, na Awurade anuonyam rehyɛ Asɔredan no ma no, wɔn nyinaa hwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuw hɔ, sɔree Awurade kamfoo no se, “Oye! Na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa!”

4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfo no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade.

5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

Ɔhene Salomo de anantwi mpem aduonu abien ne nguan mpem ɔha aduonu bae sɛ nʼafɔrebɔde. Enti ɔhene no ne manfo no nyinaa buee Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ano.

6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

Asɔfo no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa, na saa ara na Lewifo a wɔreto dwom se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa!” no nso yɛe. Wɔde nnwontode a Dawid yɛe sɛ wɔmfa nkamfo Awurade no gyigyee nnwonto no ho. Asɔfo a wɔne Lewifo no di nhwɛanim no hyɛn ntorobɛnto, bere a na Israelfo no nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ no.

7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.

Na afei, Salomo buee adiwo mfimfini a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim no ano, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobetumi abɔ ɔhyew afɔre na wɔahyew srade a efi asomdwoe afɔre mu no wɔ hɔ. Ɔyɛɛ saa, efisɛ kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka a na wasi no esua ma ɔhyew afɔre, atoko afɔre ne srade afɔre nyinaa no.

8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt.

Solomo dii Guankɔbea Afahyɛ toaa so nnanson na nnipadɔm fifi Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu bae. Wofifi akyirikyiri te sɛ Lebo Hamat a ɛwɔ atifi fam kosi Misraim asuwa anafo fam no.

9 And on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

Da a ɛto so awotwe no, wɔde afahyɛ no kɔɔ nʼawie, efisɛ na wɔde nnanson abue afɔremuka no ano na wɔde nnanson nso adi Guankɔbea Afahyɛ no.

10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

Afahyɛ no awiei no, Salomo maa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom. Wɔn nyinaa ani gyei, efisɛ na Awurade ne Dawid, Salomo ne nkurɔfo Israelfo adi no yiye.

11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

Na Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no ne ahemfi no si. Owiee biribiara a ɔhyehyɛ too hɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.

12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

Afei, da bi anadwo, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mate wo mpaebɔ, na mayi saa Asɔredan yi sɛ baabi a wɔmmɔ afɔre.

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

“Ɛtɔ da a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osu rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma mmoadabi abɛsɛe mo nnɔbae anaa ebia mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba mo so.

14 If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Na sɛ me nkurɔfo a wɔde me din frɛ wɔn no bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase, abɔ mpae, ahwehwɛ me, na wɔadan afi wɔn amumɔyɛsɛm ho a, mɛte wɔ ɔsoro, na mede wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn, asa wɔn asase yare.

15 Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.

Mpae biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, metie,

16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

efisɛ mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fi daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne me koma bɛtena ha daa.

17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;

“Na wo de, sɛ wudi mʼakyi sɛnea wʼagya Dawid yɛe, na wutie mʼahyɛde, di me mmara nyinaa so a,

18 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man [to be] ruler in Israel.

meremma obiara mfa wʼahengua nkɔ. Saa bɔ koro yi ara na mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid bere a mekaa se, ‘Meremma onipa a obedi Israel so hene mmɔ no no.’

19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

“Nanso, sɛ wugyaw me, na wubu mmara ne mʼahyɛde a mede ama mo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforo a,

20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it [to be] a proverb and a by-word among all nations.

ɛno de, metutu Israelfo ase afi mʼasase a mede ama wɔn yi so. Mɛpo saa Asɔredan a mayi asi hɔ a mede hyɛ me din anuonyam no. Mɛyɛ no ahohorade ama aman nyinaa ahu.

21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?

Ɛwɔ mu, saa asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ de, nanso ɛbɛyɛ atantanne ama wɔn a wotwa mu wɔ ho no. Wobebisa se, ‘Adɛn nti na Awurade ama nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu sɛɛ aba nʼasase ne nʼAsɔredan yi so?’

22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

Na mmuae bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Efisɛ ne nkurɔfo poo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn a oyii wɔn fii Misraim, kɔsom anyame foforo. Ɛno nti, na ɔmaa saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.’”
