1 Chronicles 29
1 And David the king saith to all the assembly, 'Solomon my son — the one on whom God hath fixed — [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great, for not for man is the palace, but for Jehovah God;
Afei, Ɔhene Dawid dan nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔmanfo no kae se, “Me babarima Salomo a Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ onni Israel so sɛ ɔhene foforo no da so yɛ abofra a onni osuahu biara. Adwuma a ɛda nʼanim no so, na Asɔredan a obesi no nyɛ dan hunu bi. Ɛyɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn no ankasa de.
2 and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [those of] silver, and the brass for [those of] brass, the iron for [those of] iron, and the wood for [those of] wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colours, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white marble, in abundance.
Mede nea mitumi yɛ biara adi dwuma, maboaboa nea matumi anya nyinaa ano ama me Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no si. Mprempren, sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafrae, nnade ne nnua ne apopobibiri abo ne aboɔden abo, aboɔden agude ne abo pa ne abohemaa ahorow nyinaa pii wɔ hɔ.
3 'And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have — a peculiar treasure of gold and silver — I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:
Na esiane me ho a mede ama me Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no nti, mede mʼankasa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ bɛboa ɔdan no si. Eyinom bɛka adansi no ho nneɛma a maboaboa ano ama asɔredan kronkron no ho.
4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses,
Mama Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛboro nsania ani tɔn ɔha ne dumien ne dwetɛ a wɔahoa ho nsania ani tɔn ahannu aduosia abien a wɔde begu adan no afasu anim,
5 even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [those of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of artificers; and who [is] he that is offering willingly to consecrate his hand to-day to Jehovah?'
ne sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nnwuma a aka a adwumfo no bɛyɛ no. Afei, hena na obeyi ne yam de nʼayɛyɛde ama Awurade nnɛ?”
6 And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, even to the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly.
Na abusua ntuanofo, Israel mmusuakuw ntuanofo, asahene ne asraafo mpanyimfo ne ɔhene adwumayɛfo nyinaa fii ɔpɛ pa mu mae.
7 And they give for the service of the house of God, of gold — talents five thousand, and drams a myriad; and of silver — talents ten thousand, and of brass — a myriad and eight thousand talents; and of iron — a hundred thousand talents;
Wɔmaa sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ tɔn ɔha aduɔwɔtwe awotwe, sika ankasa mpem du, dwetɛ bɛyɛ tɔn ahaasa aduɔson anum, kɔbere mfrafrae bɛyɛ tɔn ahansia aduɔson anum ne nnade bɛyɛ tɔn mpem ahaasa ahanson ne aduonum, de boaa Asɔredan no si.
8 and he with whom stones are found hath given to the treasury of the house of Jehovah, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Wɔmaa aboɔden abo bebree a wɔkɔkoraa no wɔ sikakorabea a ɛwɔ Awurade fi maa Yehiel a ɔyɛ Gerson aseni hwɛɛ so.
9 And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced — great joy.
Nnipa no ani gyee ɔma no ho, efisɛ wofi ɔpɛ pa ne koma pa mu na woyiyi maa Awurade, na Ɔhene Dawid ani gyee yiye.
10 And David blesseth Jehovah before the eyes of all the assembly, and David saith, 'Blessed [art] Thou, Jehovah, God of Israel our father, from age even unto age.
Na ɔhene Dawid kamfoo Awurade wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim se, “Awurade, yɛn agya Israel Nyankopɔn, ayeyi nka wo daa nyinaa.
11 To Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head;
Kɛseyɛ, ahoɔden, anuonyam, nkonimdi ne tumi yɛ wo de, Awurade. Biribiara a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase so yɛ wo de, Awurade, na ahenni yi nso yɛ wo de. Yɛma wo so sɛ wone ade nyinaa so tumfo.
12 and the riches, and the honour [are] from before Thee, and Thou art ruling over all, and in Thy hand [is] power and might, and in Thy hand, to make great, and to give strength to all.
Ahonya ne anuonyam fi wo nko ara, efisɛ woyɛ ade nyinaa sodifo. Tumi ne ahoɔden nyinaa wɔ wo nsam na wopɛ mu na wufi ma nnipa yɛ kɛse na wonya ahoɔden.
13 'And now, our God, we are giving thanks to Thee, and giving praise to Thy beauteous name;
Afei, yɛn Nyankopɔn, yɛda wo ase, na yɛkamfo wo din kronkron no.
14 yea, because, who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? but of Thee [is] the whole, and out of Thy hand we have given to Thee;
“Na me ne hena na me nkurɔfo ne nnipa bɛn a yetumi kyɛ wo biribi? Biribiara a yɛwɔ no fi wo nkyɛn, na nea yɛde ma wo no yɛ nea wode ama yɛn dedaw no.
15 for sojourners we [are] before Thee, and settlers, like all our fathers; as a shadow [are] our days on the land, and there is none abiding.
Yɛwɔ ha mmere tiaa bi sɛ nsrahwɛfo ne ahɔho wɔ asase a yɛn agyanom dii kan wɔ so no so. Yɛn nna wɔ asase so te sɛ sunsuma a etwa mu kɔ ntɛm so a wonhu bio.
16 'O Jehovah our God, all this store that we have prepared to build to Thee a house, for Thy holy name, [is] out of Thy hand, and of Thee [is] the whole.
Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, saa nneɛma a yɛaboaboa ano de rebesi asɔredan de ahyɛ wo din kronkron anuonyam yi mpo fi wo nkyɛn! Ne nyinaa yɛ wo dea.
17 'And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to Thee.
Me Nyankopɔn, minim sɛ wohwehwɛ yɛn koma mu, na sɛ wuhu nokwaredi wɔ mu a, wʼani gye. Wunim sɛ mede adwene pa na ɛyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa, na mahwɛ ahu sɛnea wo nkurɔfo fi koma pa ne anigye mu de wɔn akyɛde aba.
18 'O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this to the age for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart unto Thee;
Awurade, yɛn agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Israel Nyankopɔn, ma wo nkurɔfo nyɛ osetie mma wo daa. Mma ɔdɔ a wɔde dɔ wo no nsesa.
19 and to Solomon my son give a perfect heart, to keep Thy commands, Thy testimonies, and Thy statutes, and to do the whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.'
Ma me babarima Salomo koma nyinaa mu ɔpɛ pa, na onni wʼahyɛde, wo mmara ne wo nkyerɛkyerɛ so, na onsi saa Asɔredan yi a mayɛ ho ahoboa nyinaa no.”
20 And David saith to all the assembly, 'Bless, I pray you, Jehovah your God;' and all the assembly bless Jehovah, God of their fathers, and bow and do obeisance to Jehovah, and to the king.
Afei, Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔmanfo no nyinaa se, “Monkamfo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn!” Na ɔmanfo no nyinaa kamfoo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn, na wɔkotow buu nkotodwe wɔ Awurade ne ɔhene no anim.
21 And they sacrifice to Jehovah sacrifices, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the morrow of that day, bullocks a thousand, rams a thousand, lambs a thousand, and their oblations, even sacrifices in abundance, for all Israel.
Ade kyee no, wɔde anantwinini apem, adwennini apem ne nguamma anini apem bɛbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade. Wɔsan gyinaa Israel anan mu, de ɔnom afɔrebɔde pii ne afɔrebɔde ahorow bae.
22 And they eat and drink before Jehovah on that day with great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time, and anoint [him] before Jehovah for leader, and Zadok for priest.
Wɔde ahosɛpɛw didi nomee da no wɔ Awurade anim. Na bio, wɔhyɛɛ Dawid babarima Salomo ahenkyɛw sɛ wɔn hene foforo. Wɔsraa no ngo wɔ Awurade anim sɛ wɔn ntuanoni, na wɔsraa Sadok nso ngo sɛ wɔn sɔfo.
23 And Solomon sitteth on the throne of Jehovah for king instead of David his father, and prospereth, and all Israel hearken unto him,
Na Salomo tenaa Awurade ahengua no so sɛ nʼagya Dawid nanmusini, na ɔkɔɔ so yiye, na Israel nyinaa tiee no.
24 and all the heads, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David have given a hand under Solomon the king;
Adehye mpanyimfo nyinaa, asahene ne Dawid mmabarima nyinaa sua kyerɛɛ ɔhene Salomo.
25 and Jehovah maketh Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and putteth upon him the honour of the kingdom that hath not been on any king over Israel before him.
Na Awurade pagyaw Salomo maa Israelman no maa no nidi nwonwaso, na ɔmaa Salomo ahonya ne anuonyam sen nʼagya.
26 And David son of Jesse hath reigned over all Israel,
Enti Yisai babarima Dawid dii Israel nyinaa so hene.
27 and the days that he hath reigned over Israel [are] forty years; in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three;
Odii hene wɔ Israel mfe aduanan a ne nkyerɛmu ne sɛ, odii Hebron so mfe ason, na mfe aduasa abiɛsa nso, ɔtenaa Yerusalem.
28 and he dieth in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honour, and reign doth Solomon his son in his stead.
Ɔtenaa ase kyɛe, nyinii yiye, nyaa ahode ne anuonyam ansa na ɔrewu. Na ne babarima Salomo dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
29 And the matters of David the king, the first and the last, lo, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the matters of Gad the seer,
Efi Ɔhene Dawid adedi mfiase de kosi nʼawie mu nsɛm nyinaa, wɔakyerɛw agu ɔdehufo Samuel abakɔsɛm nhoma, odiyifo Natan abakɔsɛm nhoma ne ɔdehufo Gad abakɔsɛm nhoma mu.
30 with all his reign, and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.
Nʼadedi mu akokodurusɛm ne biribiara a ɛbaa ne so, Israel ne ahenni ahorow a atwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa nso yɛ nsɛm a wɔakyerɛw.
