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.
When all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was completed, Solomon brought in the things that David, his father, had set apart for this purpose, including the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—he placed them into the treasuries 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.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, that is, Zion.
3 Ɔsram Bul (bɛyɛ Ahinime) a wɔredi afirihyia Asese Afahyɛ no, wɔn nyinaa behyiaa wɔ ɔhene anim.
All the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Bere a Israel mpanyimfo beduu hɔ no, Lewifo no pagyaw Adaka no
All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5 ne ntamadan sononko ne ɛho nneɛma kronkron no nyinaa. Lewifo asɔfo no soa kɔɔ Asɔredan no mu.
They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tent. The priests who were of the tribe of Levi brought these things up.
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.
King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel came together before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted.
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.
The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the inner room of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Na kerubim no ntaban trɛw wɔ Adaka a ne nnua hyehyɛ ho no so, te sɛ kyinii.
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and they covered the ark and the poles by which it was carried.
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.
The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place in front of the inner room, but they could not be seen from outside. They are there to 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.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came 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.
It came about that the priests came out of the holy place. All the priests who were present had consecrated themselves to Yahweh, not ordering themselves according to their divisions.
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.
Also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood at the east end of the altar. With them were 120 priests blowing 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.
It came about that the trumpeters and singers made music together, making one sound to be heard for praising and thanking Yahweh. They raised their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments, and they praised Yahweh. They sang, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.” Then the house, the house of Yahweh, was filled with a cloud.
14 Asɔfo no antumi antoa wɔn adwuma no so, efisɛ Awurade anuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ma.
The priests could not stand in order to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled his house.
