2 Beresosɛm 3
1 Na Salomo fii ase sii Awurade Asɔredan no wɔ Yerusalem Moria bepɔw so a ɛhɔ na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo agya Ɔhene Dawid no. Wosii Asɔredan no wɔ Yebusini Arauna awiporowbea hɔ, baabi a Dawid yi too hɔ no.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Salomo dii ade no, ne mfe anan so, Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) mu, na wofii ɔdan no si ase.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Na Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no fapem ntwemu yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, na ne trɛw mu yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Ntwironoo a ɛwɔ Asɔredan no anim trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa, a ɛne Asɔredan no trɛw yɛ pɛ. Afasu a ɛwɔ ntwironoo no mu no nyinaa, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura mu. Ntwironoo no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Ɔpepaw nnua na wɔde sam Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu so, dii mmedua ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn adwinni wɔ so.
And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Abohemaa a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a efi Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasu ho.
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ guu Asɔredan no afasu, afadum, apon ne abobow ano nyinaa ho, na wodii kerubim sɛso adwinni wɔ afasu no ho.
And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Na Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa te sɛ asɔredan no ara, ne ntwemu nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa bɛyɛ nkaribo tɔn aduonu abiɛsa na wɔde guu so.
He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 Sikakɔkɔɔ nnadewa a biara kari bɛyɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson anum na wɔde dii ɔdan no ho dwuma. Sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa na wɔde guu soro adan no afasu ani.
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 Salomo yɛɛ kerubim sɛso abien, de sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu ho. Wɔde eyinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Kerubim abien no a wosisi hɔ no ntaban ka bɔ mu a, ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Kerubim baako ntaban baako a ɛpem ɔfasu no tenten yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Ntaban baako no nso a ɛyɛ anammɔn ason ne fa no, ɛne kerubim baako no ntaban hyia.
The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub.
12 Saa ara nso na kerubim a ɔto so abien no ntaban baako mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa, na ɛpem Asɔredan no fasu a ɛne ɔfasu baako no di nhwɛanim. Ntaban baako a aka no nso trɛw a ɛyɛ anammɔn ason ne fa no, ehyia kerubim a edi kan no ntaban baako.
In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Enti na kerubim abien no ntaban mu trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na wɔn nyinaa sisi hɔ a wɔn anim kyerɛ Asɔredan no mu.
So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 Salomo de ntwamtam a ɔde bibiri ne asaawa a ɛbere dum ne koogyan ne nwera ayɛ, a wɔanwen kerubim nsɛsode agu mu, sɛn Kronkron mu Kronkron no kwan ano.
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 Asɔredan no anim, Salomo yɛɛ afadum abien a emu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason. Na ntaaso kata emu biara atifi a ɛno nso sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.
He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
16 Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsan yɛɛ atoaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de susoo ntweaban no mu.
He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains.
17 Afei, ɔde afadum abien no sisii Asɔredan no ano kwan ano. Ɔde baako sii ɔkwan no anafo fam no ano, na ɔde baako nso sii atifi fam. Ɔtoo nea ɛwɔ anafo fam no din Yakin, na nea ɛwɔ atifi fam no, ɔtoo no din Boas.
These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
