1 Ahemfo 7
1 Salomo san sii ɔno ankasa nʼahemfi. Na mfirihyia dumiɛnsa na ɔde wiee ahemfi no si.
Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
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.
For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred seventy-two feet and three inches, and its breadth eighty-six feet and two inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the 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.
It was covered with cedar above atop the beams which were on the pillars, and the pillars numbered forty-five; fifteen in a row.
4 Afasu no fa biara, mfɛnsere sesa so abiɛsa abiɛsa a edidi nhwɛanim.
There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
5 Apon no akwan nyinaa, wɔayɛ no ahinanan abiɛsa abiɛsa a edidi nhwɛanim.
All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
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.
He made the porch of pillars; its length was eighty-six feet and two inches, and its breadth fifty-one feet and eight inches; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
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 the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to rafters.
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.
His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
9 Abo akɛse a wɔatwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a ne bo yɛ den yiye na wɔde sii saa adan no.
All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to 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.
The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of seventeen feet and three inches, and stones of thirteen feet and nine inches.
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.
Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
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.
The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house.
13 Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ɔbarima bi a ofi Tiro a ne din de Huram ase sɛ omfi Tiro mmra,
King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of 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.
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in bronze. He came to king Solomon, and performed 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.
For he cast the two pillars of bronze, thirty-one feet was the height of one pillar; and a line of twenty feet and eight inches could encompass the one pillar, and its thickness hollowed out was almost three inches; and so was the second pillar.
16 Ɔde kɔbere mfrafrae yɛɛ afadum no apampam ntaaso a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
He made two capitals of molten bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was eight feet and seven inches, and the height of the other capital was eight feet and seven inches.
17 Ntaaso biara nso, wɔde ɔtan a wɔanwen ason ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn na ahyehyɛ ho.
There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
18 Na ɔyɛɛ atoaa nsɛso a ɛsesa so tee abien bebaree ɔtan a wɔanwen no de siesiee ntaaso a ɛwɔ afadum no atifi.
So he made the pomegranates, two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.
19 Ntaaso a ɛwɔ afadum a ɛwɔ ntwironoo no mu no, na wɔayɛ no sɛ sukooko a ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia.
The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, six feet and eleven inches.
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 the capitals were on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network. And there were two hundred pomegranates in rows all around on the capital, and the same around the other capital.
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).
He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jakin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
22 Afadum no ntaaso no, wɔyɛɛ no sɛ sukooko. Saa na ɔyɛ de wiee afadum no ho adwuma.
On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars 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 the molten sea of seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.
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.
Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
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.
It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.
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.
It was almost three inches thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
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.
He made the ten bases of bronze; six feet and eleven inches was the length of one base, and six feet and eleven inches its breadth, and five feet and two inches its height.
28 Na sɛnea wɔyɛɛ nteaseɛnam no ne sɛ, ɛwowɔ ntetareho ntrantraa a wɔabram so.
The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
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 on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
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.
Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of bronze; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
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 of it within the capital and above was twenty-one inches: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, two feet and seven inches; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, 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,
The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was two feet and seven inches.
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.
The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
34 Na nsusomu nsa anan wowɔ nteaseɛnam no atwɔtwɔw anan no biara so a epuepue fi nteaseɛnam no so.
There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.
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.
In the top of the base was there a round compass ten and a quarter inches high; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
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.
On the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.
37 Nsu nteaseɛnam du no, na ne nyinaa akɛse yɛ pɛ, na ne nyinaa sesɛ, na woguu ne nyinaa wɔ ade koro mu.
In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
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 ten basins of bronze: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was six feet and eleven inches; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.
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.
He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
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:
Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house 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 bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on 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 the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
43 nsu nteaseɛnam du a nsukorade du sisi so,
and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
44 Po no ne anantwi dumien a ɛhyehyɛ ase,
and one sea, and the 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 pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished bronze.
46 Ɔhene no ma woguu no wɔ kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan tataw a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no so.
The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Salomo ankari nkuku ne nkaka no, efisɛ na ɛdɔɔso dodo; na kɔbere mfrafrae no mu duru nso, wɔantumi ankari.
Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
48 Na Salomo de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa siesiee Awurade Asɔredan no mu: sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka, sikakɔkɔɔ kyerɛwpon a Ne Daa Nwɔhɔ brodo gu so,
Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;
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 lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
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 the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, 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.
Thus all the work that Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
