2 Beresosɛm 4
1 Salomo san yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa, ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa saa ara, na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
Moreover he made an altar of bronze; its length was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits. Its height was ten cubits.
2 Afei, ɔyɛɛ nsukorade kɛse kurukuruwa bi a efi ano kɔka ano yɛ anammɔn dunum. Wɔtoo no din Po. Na emu dɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa, na ne dantaban yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum.
He also made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
3 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 the brim encircling the sea were bulls, ten to each cubit, cast in one piece with the sea when the sea itself was cast.
4 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.
The large basin known as “The Sea” was set upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
5 Po no afasu mu piw yɛ bɛyɛ nsateaa abiɛsa, na nʼano no trɛw te sɛ kuruwa a ɛsɛ sukooko nhwiren a apae. Na Po no tumi kora nsu gyare mpem dunsia ne ahannum.
“The Sea” was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. “The Sea” held three thousand baths of water.
6 Ɔyɛɛ guasɛn du a wɔkora nsu a wɔde hohoro afɔrebɔde ho. Na emu anum wɔ Po no anafo fam na anum wɔ atifi fam. Asɔfo no de, na Po no ankasa mu nsu na na wɔde hohoro wɔn ho, na wɔmmfa guasɛn no mu nsu no bi.
He made also ten basins for washing things; he put five on the south side, and five on the north; items used in performing the burnt offering were to be washed in them. The large basin known as “The Sea” was used by the priests for them to wash.
7 Salomo de sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ akaneadua du, sɛnea wɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no no, de sisii Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde mu anum sisi bɛn anafo fam ɔfasu, na wɔde mu anum a aka no nso sisi bɛn atifi fam ɔfasu no.
He made the ten lampstands of gold that were made from the instructions for their design; he placed them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 Afei, ɔyɛɛ apon du de sisii Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde mu anum sisii anafo fam ɔfasu no anim, na wɔde mu anum a aka no nso sisii atifi fam ɔfasu no anim. Afei, ɔyɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ guasɛn ɔha.
He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold.
9 Salomo sii adiwo maa asɔfo no, san sii adiwo kɛse bi wɔ Asɔredan no mfikyiri. Ɔyɛɛ apon totoo adiwo akwan no ano, na ɔde kɔbere mfrafrae duraa ho.
Furthermore he made the courtyard of the priests, and the great court and the doors for the court and overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 Wɔde Po no sii anafo fam ne apuei fam afasu ahyiae no twɔtwɔw so hɔ.
He placed the basin known as “The Sea” on the east side of the temple, facing toward the south.
11 Huram-Abi yɛɛ nkuku, nsofi ne guasɛn a ɛho hia nyinaa. Nea ɔhene Salomo kyerɛɛ Huram-Abi sɛ ɔnyɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho no nyinaa no, ɔyɛe.
Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon in the house of God:
12 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, the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
13 ne 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).
He had made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework: two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars.
14 Ɔyɛɛ nsu nteaseɛnam a guasɛn no sisi so,
He also made the stands and the basins to go on the stands;
15 Po no ne anantwi sɛso dumien a wɔhyɛ ase,
one sea and the twelve bulls under it,
16 nkuku, nsofi, nam nnarewa ne nneɛma a ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Huram-Abi de kɔbere mfrafrae a wɔabere ho na ɛyɛɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa maa Awurade Asɔredan no, sɛnea Ɔhene Salomo hyɛɛ no no.
also the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other implements that Huram-Abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh.
17 Ɔhene no ma woguu no wɔ kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan tataw a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Sereda ntam no so.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
18 Kɔbere mfrafrae a wɔde dii dwuma no dodow nti, wɔantumi anhu emu duru ano.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; indeed, the weight of the bronze could not be known.
19 Na Salomo yɛɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu nyinaa: sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka; apon a wɔde Daa Daa Brodo gu so;
Solomon made all the furnishings that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
20 kanea nnua ne nʼakanea a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a ɛbɛhyerɛn wɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron no anim sɛnea wɔakyerɛ no;
the lampstands with their lamps, that were designed to burn before the inner room—these were made of pure gold;
21 nhwiren a wɔde siesie, akanea ne adabaw a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa na ɛyɛɛ ne nyinaa;
and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, pure gold.
22 akanea adabaw, guasɛn, nyowa ne nkankyee a wɔnoa mu, ne nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa; apon a wosisii wɔ ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron ne nea ɛkɔ Asɔredan no dan kɛse mu no, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ na eduraduraa ho nyinaa.
Also the lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners were all made of pure gold. As for the entrance into the house, its inner doors into the most holy place and the doors of the house, that is, of the temple, were made of gold.
