2 Chronicles 7
1 And at Solomon's finishing to pray, then the fire hath come down from the heavens, and consumeth the burnt-offering and the sacrifices, and the honour of Jehovah hath 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 have not been able to go in unto the house of Jehovah, because the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.
Asɔfo no mpo antumi anhyɛn Awurade Asɔredan no mu, efisɛ na Awurade anuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.
3 And all the sons of Israel are looking on the descending of the fire, and the honour of Jehovah on the house, and they bow — faces to the earth — on the pavement, and do obeisance, and give thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age [is] His kindness.
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 And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah,
Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfo no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade.
5 and king Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of the herd, twenty and two thousand, and of the flock, a hundred and twenty thousand, and the king and all the people dedicate 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 over their charges are standing, and the Levites with instruments of the song of Jehovah — that David the king made, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness, in David's praising by their hand — and the priests are blowing trumpets over-against them, and all Israel are standing.
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 And Solomon sanctifieth the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: for the altar of brass that Solomon made hath not been able to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, 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 And solomon maketh the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him — a very great assembly — from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook 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 they make on the eighth day a restraint, because the dedication of the altar they have made 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 twenty and third day of the seventh month he hath sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that Jehovah hath done 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 And Solomon finisheth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king; and all that hath come on the heart of Solomon to do in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he hath caused to prosper.
Na Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no ne ahemfi no si. Owiee biribiara a ɔhyehyɛ too hɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.
12 And Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon by night, and saith to him, 'I have heard thy prayer, and have fixed on this place to Me 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 restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and 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 and My people on whom My name is called be humbled, and pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways, then I — I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and 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, Mine eyes are open, and Mine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place;
Mpae biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, metie,
16 and now, I have chosen and sanctified this house for My name being there unto the age; yea, Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.
efisɛ mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fi daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne me koma bɛtena ha daa.
17 'And thou, if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and My statutes and My judgments dost keep —
“Na wo de, sɛ wudi mʼakyi sɛnea wʼagya Dawid yɛe, na wutie mʼahyɛde, di me mmara nyinaa so a,
18 then I have established the throne of thy kingdom, as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There is not cut off a man to thee — a 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 and if ye turn back — ye — and have forsaken My statutes, and My commands, that I have placed before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them — then I have plucked them from off My ground that I have given to them,
“Nanso, sɛ wugyaw me, na wubu mmara ne mʼahyɛde a mede ama mo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforo a,
20 and this house that I have sanctified for My name, I cast from before My face, and make it for a proverb, and for a byword, among all the peoples.
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 that hath been high, to every one passing by it, is an astonishment, and he hath said, Wherefore hath Jehovah 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 they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them, therefore He hath brought upon them all this evil.'
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.’”
