< 2 Chronicles 1 >
1 And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
Ɔhene Dawid babarima Salomo soo ahenni no mu den, efisɛ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn kaa ne ho maa no tumi a ɛso.
2 And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
Ɔfrɛɛ Israel nyinaa, asahene ne asraafodɔm ntuanofo, atemmufo, amanyɛ ne mmusua ntuanofo nyinaa.
3 and they go — Solomon, and all the assembly with him — to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,
Na Salomo dii nnipa no nyinaa anim kɔɔ bepɔw Gibeon so baabi a wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahyiae Ntamadan no asi. Eyi yɛ Ntamadan a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade somfo sii wɔ sare no so no.
4 but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;
Na Dawid ayi Onyankopɔn Adaka no afi Kiriat-Yearim de akɔ ntamadan sononko bi a wasi wɔ Yerusalem mu.
5 and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.
Nanso na kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka a Hur nena a ɔyɛ Uri babarima Besaleel sii no da so wɔ Gibeon, wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim. Enti Salomo ne nnipa no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ hɔ, bisaa Awurade akwankyerɛ.
6 And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
Hyiadan no anim hɔ, Salomo foro kɔɔ kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka no ho wɔ Awurade anim, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ahorow apem wɔ so.
7 In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, 'Ask — what do I give to thee?'
Da no anadwo, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi wɔ dae mu kyerɛɛ Salomo, bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ? Bisa na mede bɛma wo!”
8 And Solomon saith to God, 'Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.
Salomo buaa Onyankopɔn se, “Wudii mʼagya Dawid nokware na woyɛɛ no adɔe, na afei wode me asi nʼanan mu sɛ ɔhene.
9 Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
Na afei Awurade Nyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo di bɔ a wohyɛɛ mʼagya Dawid no so, efisɛ wode me asi nnipa a wɔn dodow te sɛ asase so mfutuma so hene.
10 now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'
Ma me nyansa ne nimdeɛ, na memfa nni wɔn so yiye, na hena koraa na obetumi adi wo man kɛse sɛɛ so?”
11 And God saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign —
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Esiane sɛ wʼahiasɛm kɛse ne sɛ wopɛ sɛ woboa wo manfo, na woammisa ahode, anuonyam anaa wʼatamfo wu anaa nkwa tenten, na mmom, wubisaa nyansa ne nimdeɛ a wode bedi me nkurɔfo so yiye nti,
12 the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'
mɛma wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ a wubisae no. Afei, mɛma wo sika, ahode ne anuonyam a ɔhene biara a wadi wʼanim no nnyaa bi da, nanso ɔrennya no saa da biara da.”
13 And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth over Israel,
Na Salomo fii hyiadan a ɛwɔ Gibeon bepɔw no so no mu san kɔɔ Yerusalem kodii hene wɔ Israel so.
14 and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Salomo nyaa nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔ bebree. Na ɔwɔ nteaseɛnam apem ahannan ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien. Ɔde emu fa kɛse guguu nteaseɛnam nkuropɔn no so na ɔmaa bi nso kaa Yerusalem.
15 And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
Salomo bere so no, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ buu so sɛ abo wɔ Yerusalem. Na sida aboɔden nnua nso buu so sɛ ankye nnua a na abu so wɔ Yuda mmepɔw no ase no.
16 And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price,
Na Salomo tɔɔ apɔnkɔ fii Misraim ne Kilikia, efisɛ na ɔhene no aguadifo nya wɔn fi Kilikia a wɔn bo no ye.
17 and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram — by their hand they bring out.
Saa bere no na wotumi tɔ Misraim nteaseɛnam a wɔde ba Yerusalem no nnwetɛbona kilogram ason, na apɔnkɔ nso, wotumi tɔ no nnwetɛbona kilogram abien. Wɔn nso kɔtontɔn wɔn nyinaa maa Hetifo ne Aram ahemfo.
