2 Beresosɛm 5

1 Bere a Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no si ho dwumadi no, ɔde akyɛde a nʼagya, Ɔhene Dawid, de maa Awurade, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne nneɛma a aka no bae. Wɔkoraa eyinom nyinaa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no sikakorabea hɔ.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.

2 Afei, Salomo frɛɛ mmusuakuw ne mmusua ntuanofo a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa sɛ wommehyia wɔ Yerusalem. Na ɛsɛ sɛ woyi Awurade Apam Adaka no fi baabi a esi wɔ Dawid kurow a na wɔsan frɛ hɔ Sion no, de kɔ beae foforo wɔ Asɔredan no mu hɔ.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel, and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

3 Ɔsram Bul (bɛyɛ Ahinime) a wɔredi afirihyia Asese Afahyɛ no, wɔn nyinaa behyiaa wɔ ɔhene anim.

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 Bere a Israel mpanyimfo beduu hɔ no, Lewifo no pagyaw Adaka no

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,

5 ne ntamadan sononko ne ɛho nneɛma kronkron no nyinaa. Lewifo asɔfo no soa kɔɔ Asɔredan no mu.

And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

6 Ɔhene Salomo ne Israelfo no nyinaa twaa nguan ne anantwi a wɔn dodow nti, obi ntumi nkan wɔn, de bɔɔ afɔre wɔ adaka no anim.

And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel, and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

7 Afei, asɔfo no maa Awurade Apam Adaka no so, de kɔɔ Asɔredan no kronkronbea a ɛhɔ yɛ Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ. Wɔde sii kerubim no ntaban ase.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

8 Na kerubim no ntaban trɛw wɔ Adaka a ne nnua hyehyɛ ho no so, te sɛ kyinii.

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

9 Na nnua no woware yiye; enti sɛ obi gyina Asɔredan no ano kwan ano a ohu. Ne nyinaa da so wɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto this day.

10 Na biribiara nni adaka no mu sɛ abo apon abien a Mose de guu mu wɔ Horeb, bere a Awurade ne Israelfo a na wɔatu afi Misraim no yɛɛ apam no.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.

11 Afei, asɔfo no fii kronkronbea hɔ. Saa bere yi, na asɔfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa, sɛ wɔwɔ dwuma bi di anaa wonni hwee yɛ, adwira wɔn ho.

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, (for all the priests that could be found there, mere sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them, )

12 Lewifo nnwontofo, Asaf, Heman, Yedutun, wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn nuanom nyinaa hyehyɛɛ nwera batakari gyinagyinaa afɔremuka no apuei fam, na wɔbɔɔ kyɛnkyɛn, mmɛnta ne asankuten. Asɔfo ɔha aduonu a wɔrehyɛn torobɛnto bɛkaa wɔn ho.

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding with trumpets.

13 Ntorobɛntohyɛnfo ne nnwontofo no nyinaa bɔɔ mu too dwom de kamfoo Awurade, daa no ase. Wɔde ntorobɛnto, kyɛnkyɛn ne nnwontode ahorow bɛkaa wɔn ho, maa wɔn nne so kamfoo Awurade sɛ: “Oye! Na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa!” Saa bere no mu ara, omununkum bɛhyɛɛ Awurade asɔredan no ma.

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 Asɔfo no antumi antoa wɔn adwuma no so, efisɛ Awurade anuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ma.

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
