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 begins to build the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, on the mount of Moriah where He appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor 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 begins to build in the second [day], 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.
And [in] these Solomon has been instructed to build the house of God: the length [in] cubits by the former measure [is] sixty cubits, and 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.
As for the porch that [is] on the front, the length [is] by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty [[or twenty]], and he overlays 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 he has covered the large house with fir-trees, and he covers it with fine gold, and causes palms and chains to ascend on it,
6 Abohemaa a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a efi Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasu ho.
and he overlays the house with precious stone for beauty, and the gold [is] gold of Parvaim,
7 Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ guu Asɔredan no afasu, afadum, apon ne abobow ano nyinaa ho, na wodii kerubim sɛso adwinni wɔ afasu no ho.
and he covers the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and has engraved cherubim 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.
And he makes the most holy house: its length by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and he covers it with six hundred talents of fine gold;
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.
and the weight of the nails [is] fifty shekels of gold, and he has covered the upper chambers with gold.
10 Salomo yɛɛ kerubim sɛso abien, de sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu ho. Wɔde eyinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
And he makes two cherubim in the most holy house, image work, and he overlays 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.
as for the wings of the cherubim, their length [is] twenty cubits, the wing of the one [is] five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, touching 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.
And the wing of the other cherub [is] five cubits touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, adhering to 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.
The wings of these cherubim are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces [are] inward.
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.
And he makes the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and causes cherubim to go up on it.
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.
And he makes two pillars at the front of the house, thirty-five cubits in length, and the ornament that [is] on their heads [is] five cubits.
16 Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsan yɛɛ atoaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de susoo ntweaban no mu.
And he makes chains in the oracle, and puts [them] on the heads of the pillars, and makes one hundred pomegranates, and puts [them] on the 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.
And he raises up the pillars on the front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left, and calls the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
