1 Tete Solomo gblɔ be, “Yehowa gblɔ be yeanɔ lilikpo do viviti aɖe me;

Then he said Solomon Yahweh he has said to dwell in thick darkness.

2 metu gbedoxɔ gã nyui aɖe na wò, afi si nànɔ tegbee.”

And I I have built a house of loftiness for you and a place to dwell in you forever.

3 Tete Fia Solomo trɔ ɖe Israel ƒe ameha la gbɔ, ameawo tsi tsitre be yewoaxɔ eƒe yayra eye wòyra wo hegblɔ na wo bena,

And he turned the king face his and he blessed all [the] assembly of Israel and all [the] assembly of Israel [was] standing.

4 “Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, si tsɔ eƒe nu gblɔ nya na fofonye David eye wòwɔ ŋugbe si wòdo nɛ la dzi azɔ. Mawu gblɔ na David bena,

And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he spoke with mouth his with David father my and by hands his he has fulfilled saying.

5 ‘Tso gbe si gbe mekplɔ nye amewo tso Egipte la, nyemetia du aɖeke le Israel ƒe toawo dometɔ aɖeke me be, woatu gbedoxɔ ne nye ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma o eye nyemetia ame aɖeke be wòanye kplɔla na nye dukɔ, Israel o.

Since the day when I brought out people my from [the] land of Egypt not I have chosen a city from all [the] tribes of Israel to build a house to be name my there and not I have chosen a person to be ruler over people my Israel.

6 Ke azɔ la, metia Yerusalem, be nye ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma eye azɔ la metia David be wòanɔ nye dukɔ, Israel nu.’”

And I have chosen Jerusalem to be name my there and I have chosen David to be over people my Israel.

7 “Ame siae nye fofonye, Fia David. Edi be yeatu gbedoxɔ aɖe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ.

And it was with [the] heart of David father my to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

8 Ke Yehowa gblɔ na fofonye, David be, ‘Esi nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me be yeatu gbedoxɔ na nye ŋkɔ la, èwɔe nyuie be nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me.

And he said Yahweh to David father my because that it was with heart your to build a house for name my you did well for it was with heart your.

9 Ke menye wòe nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la o, ke viwò, ame si nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple ʋu; eyae nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la na nye ŋkɔ.’

Only you not you will build the house for son your who comes out from loins your he he will build the house for name my.

10 “Azɔ la, Yehowa wɔ nu si ŋugbe wòdo elabena mezu fia ɖe fofonye teƒe eye metu gbedoxɔ la na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ.

And he has established Yahweh word his which he spoke and I have arisen in place of David father my and I have sat - on [the] throne of Israel just as he spoke Yahweh and I have built the house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
