2 Salomo de saa nkra yi maa sɛ wɔnsan mfa nkɔma Huram:
3 “Wo ara wunim sɛ mʼagya Dawid antumi ansi asɔredan anhyɛ Awurade ne Nyankopɔn din anuonyam, esiane akokoakoko a ɔne aman a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no dii nti. Wantumi anyɛ kosii sɛ Awurade de nʼatamfo hyɛɛ nʼanan ase.

5 Ne saa nti, mayɛ adwene sɛ mesi asɔredan ama Awurade, me Nyankopɔn sɛnea Awurade ka kyerɛɛ mʼagya Dawid se me na mɛyɛ no. ‘Wo ba a mede no bɛtena ahengua so, asi wʼanan mu no besi asɔredan ahyɛ me din anuonyam.’
6 “Ɛno nti, hyɛ ma wonkotwa sida a efi Lebanon mmrɛ me. Me mmarima ne wo mmarima bɛyɛ adwuma, na akatua biara a wubegye ama wɔn no, metua. Wo ara wunim sɛ, obiara nkyɛn Sidonfo wɔ nnuabu mu.”
7 Bere a Huram tee Salomo nkra no, nʼani sɔɔ yiye kae se, “Ayeyi nka Awurade nnɛ, efisɛ wama Dawid ɔba nyansafo sɛ ommedi saa ɔman kɛse Israel yi so.”
8 Enti Huram de nkra kɔmaa Salomo se, “Me nsa aka nkra a wode brɛɛ me no, na mɛyɛ wʼabisade a ɛfa nnua no ho no. Metumi de sida nnua ne ɔpepaw nnua abrɛ wo.
9 Mʼasomfo de nnua no befi Lebanon mmepɔw so aba Po Kɛse so, na mɛma atentɛn afa po ani sɛnea wɔde ayɛ ɔkorow no, de akɔ baabiara a wobɛkyerɛ. Ɛno akyi no, yɛbɛsan mu na yɛde nnua no abrɛ wo. Wobɛma me fifo aduan, sɛnea mehwehwɛ no.”
10 Huram faa saa ɔkwan yi so maa Salomo sida ne ɔpepaw nnua sɛnea ɔpɛ,
11 na Salomo maa Huram fifo atoko tɔn 3,600 ne ngo kronkron galɔn 120,000.
12 Na Awurade maa Salomo nyansa a emu dɔ, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ no bɔ no. Na Huram ne Salomo yɛɛ asomdwoe apam.
