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.

Thus all the work that Solomon did for the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

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 and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

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

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to 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. 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 vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these 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 congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

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 LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even 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 the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

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 the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is 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 which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children 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.

When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep 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, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with shofars);

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.

when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the shofars and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house,

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

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled God’s house.
