1 Ahemfo 7
1 Salomo san sii ɔno ankasa nʼahemfi. Na mfirihyia dumiɛnsa na ɔde wiee ahemfi no si.
And Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and brought it to perfection.
2 Na wɔfrɛ Salomo adan no mu baako Lebanon Kwae Ahemfi. Na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum, na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum. Na sida nsamso no mpuran no deda sida fadum anan a wɔatoto ahyehyɛ no tee no so.
He built also the house of the forest of Libanus, the length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits, and the height thirty cubits: and four galleries between pillars of cedar: for he had cut cedar trees into pillars.
3 Na wɔabɔ sida nsɛmso a etweri mpuran aduanan anum a ɛno nso gugu afadum a wɔatoto, ahyehyɛ no ntentenso abiɛsa mu a, dunum na ɛwɔ ntentenso baako biara mu.
And he covered the whole vault with boards of cedar, and it was held up with five and forty pillars. And one row had fifteen pillars,
4 Afasu no fa biara, mfɛnsere sesa so abiɛsa abiɛsa a edidi nhwɛanim.
Set one against another,
5 Apon no akwan nyinaa, wɔayɛ no ahinanan abiɛsa abiɛsa a edidi nhwɛanim.
And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in all things equal.
6 Osii afadum asa a ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum. Na ntwironoo a wɔakuru so wɔ anim a esi afadum so.
And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch: and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars.
7 Na ahengua asa a na wonim no sɛ atemmu asa nso wɔ hɔ. Ɛhɔ na na Salomo tena di nsɛm. Na wɔde sida asam mu fi fam, de kosi nsamso so.
He made also the porch of the throne, wherein is the seat of judgment: and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top.
8 Faako a na Salomo te no twa asennii a ɛwɔ asa no akyi no ho hyia. Ɔkwan koro no ara so na wɔfa de sii. Osii ne dan no sɛso de maa Farao babea a na ɔyɛ ne yerenom no mu baako.
And in the midst of the porch, was a small house where he sat in judgment, of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch,
9 Abo akɛse a wɔatwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a ne bo yɛ den yiye na wɔde sii saa adan no.
All of costly stones, which were sawed by a certain rule and measure both within and without: from the foundation to the top of the walls, and without unto the great court.
10 Abo a wɔde too ɔdan no fapem no tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dunum, na bi nso tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dumien.
And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or eight cubits:
11 Abo a ne bo yɛ den yiye a wɔde sii afasu no nso, na wɔasusuw, atwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a sida mpuran nso ka ho.
And above there were costly stones, or equal measure, hewed; and, in like manner, planks of cedar:
12 Adiwo kɛse no afasu no nso, wɔto de sida mpuran ntaaso baako biara too abo a wɔatwa ntaaso abiɛsa biara so, te sɛ afasu a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mfimfini mu hɔ a ntwironoo kwan ka ho.
And the greater court was made round with three rows of hewed stones, and one row of planks of cedar, moreover also in the inner court of the house of the Lord, and in the porch of the house.
13 Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ɔbarima bi a ofi Tiro a ne din de Huram ase sɛ omfi Tiro mmra,
And king Solomon sent, and brought Hiram from Tyre,
14 efisɛ na ɔyɛ odwumfo a onim kɔbere mfrafrae ho adwinne yiye. Na ne fa yɛ Israelni, efisɛ ne na yɛ okunafo a ofi Naftali abusua mu. Na nʼagya nso yɛ adwuma wɔ baabi a wɔnan nnade wɔ Tiro. Enti ɔbɛyɛɛ adwuma maa ɔhene Salomo.
The son of a widow woman of the tribe of Nephtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artificer in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and skill to work all work in brass. And when he was come to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.
15 Huram twaa kɔbere mfrafrae afadum abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason, na ne afefarem nso yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.
And he cast two pillars in brass, each pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits compassed both the pillars.
16 Ɔde kɔbere mfrafrae yɛɛ afadum no apampam ntaaso a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
He made also two chapiters of molten brass, to be set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
17 Ntaaso biara nso, wɔde ɔtan a wɔanwen ason ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn na ahyehyɛ ho.
And a kind of network, and chain work wreathed together with wonderful art. Both the chapiters of the pillars were cast: seven rows of nets were on one chapiter, and seven nets on the other chapiter.
18 Na ɔyɛɛ atoaa nsɛso a ɛsesa so tee abien bebaree ɔtan a wɔanwen no de siesiee ntaaso a ɛwɔ afadum no atifi.
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter.
19 Ntaaso a ɛwɔ afadum a ɛwɔ ntwironoo no mu no, na wɔayɛ no sɛ sukooko a ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia.
And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work in the porch, of four cubits.
20 Ntaaso biara a na ɛwɔ afadum abien no so no nso, na atoaa nsɛso ahannu a wɔahyehyɛ no tee abien atwa ho ahyia a, ɛyɛ kurukuruwa a ɛtoa ɔtan a wɔanwen no so.
And again other chapiters in the top of the pillars above, according to the measure of the pillar over against the network: and of pomegranates there were two hundred in rows round about the other chapiter.
21 Huram de afadum no sisii Asɔredan no kwan ano a baako kyerɛ anafo fam na baako nso kyerɛ atifi fam. Ɔtoo baako a ɛkyerɛ anafo fam no din Yakin (Ɔde tim) na nea ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, ɔtoo no Boas (Ne mu na ahoɔden wɔ).
And he set up the two pillars in the porch of the temple: and when he had set up the pillar on the right hand, he called the name thereof Jachin: in like manner he set up the second pillar, and called the name thereof Booz.
22 Afadum no ntaaso no, wɔyɛɛ no sɛ sukooko. Saa na ɔyɛ de wiee afadum no ho adwuma.
And upon the tops of the pillars he made lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished.
23 Afei, Huram twaa nsukorade kurukuruwa kɛse bi a efi ano kɔka ano no yɛ anammɔn dunum. Wɔtoo ne din Po. Na emu tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa, nʼafefare mu nso yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum.
He made also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
24 Na Po no wɔ nsɛsode a ɛte sɛ anantwi a atwa afa ano no ase ahyia. Anammɔn baako biara mu no, na anantwi sɛso asia wɔ so a wɔagu ama afra nsukorade no.
And a graven work under the brim of it compassed it, for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures.
25 Na Po no si nsiase a ɛyɛ kɔbere mfrafrae anantwi dumien sɛso so. Na wɔn nyinaa ani kyerɛkyerɛ abɔnten. Abiɛsa ani kyerɛ atifi fam. Abiɛsa ani kyerɛ atɔe fam. Abiɛsa kyerɛ anafo fam, na abiɛsa nso ani kyerɛ apuei fam.
And it stood upon twelve oxen, of which three looked towards the north, and three towards the west, and three towards the south, and three towards the east, and the sea was above upon them, and their hinder parts were all hid within.
26 Na Po no afasu mu piw bɛyɛ nsateaato abiɛsa, na ano no trɛw te sɛ kuruwa, na na ɛte sɛ sukooko a apae. Na ebetumi akora nsu bɛyɛ galɔn mpem dubaako.
And the laver was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was like the brim of a cup, or the leaf of a crisped lily: it contained two thousand bates.
27 Huram san yɛɛ nteaseɛnam du a wɔde twe nsu a emu biara tenten mu yɛ anammɔn asia na ne trɛw mu nso yɛ anammɔn asia, na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn anan ne fa.
And he made ten bases of brass, every base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth, and three cubits high.
28 Na sɛnea wɔyɛɛ nteaseɛnam no ne sɛ, ɛwowɔ ntetareho ntrantraa a wɔabram so.
And the work itself of the bases, was intergraven: and there were gravings between the joinings.
29 Wɔde gyata, anantwi ne kerubim a wɔasen siesiee ntetareho no ne nnade a wɔde bram ɔpon akyi no. Gyata no ne anantwi no so ne wɔn ase na wɔagu nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ, de asiesie wɔn.
And between the little crowns and the ledges were lions, and oxen, and cherubims: and in the joinings likewise above: and under the lions and oxen, as it were bands of brass hanging down.
30 Na saa nteaseɛnam no mu biara wɔ kɔbere mfrafrae ntwahonan anan ne kɔbere mfrafrae ntwahodade. Na nteaseɛnam biara twɔtwɔw no wɔ nnyinaso afadum de ma kɔbere mfrafrae nsukorade no; saa nnyinaso no ho na wɔadi nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ adwinni.
And every base had four wheels, and axletrees of brass: and at the four sides were undersetters under the laver molten, looking one against another.
31 Nteaseɛnam no biara wɔ nnyinaso kurukuruwa bi wɔ nʼatifi ma nsukorade no. Na ehwirew mu, kɔ soro bɛyɛ ɔnammɔn baako ne fa wɔ teaseɛnam no atifi te sɛ ntaamude kurukuruwa bi. Na ano a abue no yɛ anammɔn abien ne nsateaa abiɛsa. Ɛho no na wɔde nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ adwinni asiesie. Na nteaseɛnam no ntetareho no yɛ ahinanan na ɛnyɛ kurukuruwa.
The mouth also of the laver within, was in the top of the chapiter: and that which appeared without, was of one cubit all round, and together it was one cubit and a half: and in the corners of the pillars were divers engravings: and the spaces between the pillars were square, not round.
32 Ntetareso no ase na ntwahonan anan a wɔde atoa ntwahodade so a wɔagu ne nyinaa atoa mu ayɛ baako no hyehyɛ. Na efi ntwahonan no dantaban ano kosi ano yɛ anammɔn abien ne nsateaa abiɛsa,
And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined one to another under the base: the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
33 a na ɛte sɛ teaseɛnam a ɛwɔ ntwahonan abien. Emu ntwahodade, mparow, hankare ne nea ɛhyɛ mfimfini no nyinaa, wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae na ɛyɛe.
And they were such wheels as are used to be made in a chariot: and their axletrees, and spokes, and strakes, and naves, were all east.
34 Na nsusomu nsa anan wowɔ nteaseɛnam no atwɔtwɔw anan no biara so a epuepue fi nteaseɛnam no so.
And the four undersetters that were at every corner of each base, were of the base itself cast and joined together.
35 Nteaseɛnam no mu biara atifi no na na hankare bi a ne trɛw yɛ nsateaa akron wɔ. Nsusomu no ne nkyɛnkyɛn ntetareho no nso, wɔagu ama ɛne teaseɛnam no atoa mu.
And in the top of the base there was a round compass of half a cubit, so wrought that the laver might be set thereon, having its gravings, and divers sculptures of itself.
36 Wɔde kerubim, gyata ne mmedua a wɔasen siesiee ntetareho no ne nnyinaso ahorow no ho baabiara a kwan wɔ. Na wɔagu nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ atwa ho nyinaa ahyia.
He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass. and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about.
37 Nsu nteaseɛnam du no, na ne nyinaa akɛse yɛ pɛ, na ne nyinaa sesɛ, na woguu ne nyinaa wɔ ade koro mu.
After this manner he made ten bases, of one casting and measure, and the like graving.
38 Huram san yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafrae nsukorade du de maa nteaseɛnam no mu biara. Na nsukorade no mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn asia a etumi kora nsu gyare ahannu aduonu.
He made also ten lavers of brass: one laver contained four bases, and was of four cubits: and upon every base, in all ten, he put as many lavers.
39 Ɔhyehyɛɛ nsu nteaseɛnam no anum wɔ Asɔredan no anafo fam, na anum nso wɔ atifi fam. Wɔde Po no sii Asɔredan no anafo apuei fam twɔtwɔw so.
And he set the ten bases, five on the right side of the temple, and five on the left: and the sea he put on the right side of the temple over against the east southward.
40 Afei, ɔyɛɛ nkuku, sofi ne nsukorade a ɛho hia. Ne korakora no, Huram wiee biribiara a ɔhene Salomo kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho:
And Hiram made caldrons, and shovels, and basins, and finished all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord.
41 Afadum abien, afadumti a wɔayɛ no sɛ asuhina abien a esisi afadum no atifi, ntweaban a wɔayɛ no sɛ atena abien a wɔde asiesie afadumti no,
The two pillars and the two cords of the chapiters, upon the chapiters of the pillars: and the two networks, to cover the two cords, that were upon the top of the pillars.
42 atoaa nsɛso ahannan a ɛsensɛn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a egu ntaaso no so (atoaa a wɔahyehyɛ no ntenten so abien a biara sa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛsensɛn ntaaso a egu afadum no atifi no so no),
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks: two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the cords of the chapiters, which were upon the tops of the pillars.
43 nsu nteaseɛnam du a nsukorade du sisi so,
And the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases.
44 Po no ne anantwi dumien a ɛhyehyɛ ase,
And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea.
45 Nkuku, sofi ne nsukorade. Na nkuku ne nkaka a Huram yɛ maa ɔhene Salomo de guu Awurade Asɔredan mu no nyinaa yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae a wɔapɔw ho.
And the caldrons, and the shovels, and the basins. All the vessels that Hiram made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of fine brass.
46 Ɔhene no ma woguu no wɔ kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan tataw a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no so.
In the plains of the Jordan did the king cast them in a clay ground, between Socoth and Sartham.
47 Salomo ankari nkuku ne nkaka no, efisɛ na ɛdɔɔso dodo; na kɔbere mfrafrae no mu duru nso, wɔantumi ankari.
And Solomon placed all the vessels: but for exceeding great multitude the brass could not be weighed.
48 Na Salomo de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa siesiee Awurade Asɔredan no mu: sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka, sikakɔkɔɔ kyerɛwpon a Ne Daa Nwɔhɔ brodo gu so,
And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the leaves of proposition should be set:
49 sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua a anum sisi anafo fam, na anum sisi atifi fam wɔ kronkron mu kronkron anim hɔ; nhwiren a wɔde asiesie hɔ, akanea ne mpiakyiri a ne nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ,
And the golden candlesticks, five on the right hand, and five on the left, over against the oracle, of pure gold: and the flowers like lilies, and the lamps over them of gold: and golden snuffers,
50 nkuruwa, akanea adabaw, nsiso, nsanka ne nkankyee a wɔnoa mu nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nko ara; ɔkwan ano apon a ɛkɔ kronkron mu kronkron ne Asɔredan no mu ne anim nyinaa, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
And pots, and fleshhooks, and bowls, and mortars, and censers, of most pure gold: and the hinges for the doors of the inner house of the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple were of gold.
51 Ɔhene Salomo wiee Awurade asɔredan no ho adwuma nyinaa. Na Salomo de akyɛde a nʼagya Dawid ato din no nyinaa a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne nkuku ne nkaka ba bɛkoraa wɔ adekoradan mu wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.
And Solomon finished all the work that he made in the house of the Lord, and brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, the silver and the gold, and the vessels, and laid them up in the treasures of the house of the Lord.
