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 mpaeɛbɔ no, ogya firi ɔsoro bɛhyee ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔdeɛ, na Awurade animuonyam 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.
Asɔfoɔ no mpo antumi anhyɛne Awurade Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade animuonyam 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.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ogya no reba fam, na Awurade animuonyam rehyɛ Asɔredan no ma no, wɔn nyinaa hwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuu hɔ, sɔree Awurade kamfoo no sɛ, “Ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!”
4 And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah,
Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfoɔ no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ 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 anantwie ɔpeduonu mmienu ne nnwan ɔpeha aduonu baeɛ sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ. Enti, ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ 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.
Asɔfoɔ no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa, na saa ara na Lewifoɔ a wɔreto dwom sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!” no nso yɛeɛ. Wɔde nnwontodeɛ a Dawid yɛeɛ sɛ wɔmfa nkamfo Awurade no gyegyee nnwontoɔ no ho. Asɔfoɔ a wɔne Lewifoɔ no di nhwɛanimu no hyɛnee ntotorobɛnto wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ.
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 adihɔ mfimfini a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim ano, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na wɔahye sradeɛ a ɛfiri asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ mu no wɔ hɔ. Ɔyɛɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a na wasi no, na ɛsua ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ne sradeɛ afɔdeɛ 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.
Nnanson a ɛdi soɔ no mu, wɔdii Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ, na nipadɔm fifiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu baeɛ. Wɔfifiri akyirikyiri te sɛ Lebo Hamat a ɛwɔ atifi fam kɔsi Misraim asuwa anafoɔ 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.
Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, wɔde afahyɛ no kɔɔ nʼawieeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔde nnanson abue afɔrebukyia no ano na wɔde nnanson nso adi Dwanekɔbea 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 awieeɛ no, Salomo maa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom. Wɔn nyinaa ani gyeeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade ne Dawid, Salomo ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ adi no yie.
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 ahemfie no sie. Ɔwiee 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 sɛ, “Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ, na mayi saa Asɔredan yi sɛ beaeɛ a wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ.
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 ɛda a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osuo rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma ntutummɛ abɛsɛe mo mfudeɛ 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 nkurɔfoɔ a wɔde me din frɛ wɔn no bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase, abɔ mpaeɛ, ahwehwɛ me, na wɔadane afiri wɔn amumuyɛsɛm ho a, mɛte wɔ ɔsoro, na mede wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn, asa wɔn asase yadeɛ.
15 'Now, Mine eyes are open, and Mine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place;
Mpaeɛ biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, mɛtie,
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.
ɛfiri sɛ, mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fie daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne mʼakoma 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 deɛ, sɛ wodi mʼakyi sɛdeɛ wʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ, na wotie mʼahyɛdeɛ, 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 wʼahennwa nkɔ. Saa bɔ korɔ yi ara na mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid wɔ ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, ‘Meremma onipa a ɔbɛdi Israel so ɔhene 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 wogya me, na wobu mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mahyɛ wo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforɔ 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.
ɛnneɛ, mɛtutu Israelfoɔ ase afiri mʼasase a mede ama wɔn yi so. Mɛpo saa Asɔredan a mayi asi hɔ a mede hyɛ me din animuonyam no. Mɛyɛ no ahohoradeɛ ama aman nyinaa ahunu.
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?
Ɛwom, saa asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ deɛ, nanso ɛbɛyɛ atantanneɛ ama wɔn a wɔtwa mu hɔ no. Wɔbɛbisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na Awurade ama nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu sei 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 mmuaeɛ bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, ne nkurɔfoɔ poo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim, kɔsomm anyame foforɔ. Ɛno enti, na ɔmaa saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.’”
