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.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where he appeared to David his father, at the place that David had designated, on 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 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 for the building of God's house. The length, using the former standard measure, was one hundred three feet and four inches, and the breadth was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height was fifty-one feet and eight inches.
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.
The porch that was in front of the house was the same as the width of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches, and the depth was seventeen feet and three inches; and he overlaid it on the inside 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.
The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
6 Abohemaa a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a efi Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasu ho.
He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was 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.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and 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.
He made the most holy house: its length, according to the breadth of the house, was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 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.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Salomo yɛɛ kerubim sɛso abien, de sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu ho. Wɔde eyinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured 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 cherubim were thirty-four feet and five inches: the wing of the one was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, reaching 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.
The wing of the other cherub was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, joining 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 were extended thirty-four feet and five inches: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
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 the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
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.
Also he made before the house two pillars sixty feet and three inches high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was eight feet and seven inches.
16 Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsan yɛɛ atoaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de susoo ntweaban no mu.
He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put 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.
He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jakin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
