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 LORD’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, 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.
He began to build in the second day of 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 by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width 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.
The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty; 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.
He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress 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 decorated the house with precious stones for beauty. The gold was gold from 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 also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, 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 place. Its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits; 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 place he made two cherubim by carving, and they 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 twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, 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 five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, 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 spread themselves out twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, and their faces were towards 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, purple, 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 thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
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 Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
