1 Mfeɛ ahanan aduɔwɔtwe a wɔgyee Israelfoɔ firii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim no a na Salomo nso adi Israel so ɔhene mfeɛ ɛnan no bosome Siv (bɛyɛ Kɔtɔnimaa) mu no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ sii Awurade Asɔredan no.
And in the foure hundreth and foure score yeere (after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt) and in the fourth yere of the reigne of Salomon ouer Israel, in the moneth Zif, (which is the second moneth) he built the house of the Lord.
2 Asɔredan a ɔhene Salomo si maa Awurade no tentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum.
And the house which King Salomon built for the Lord, was three score cubites long, and twentie broade, and thirtie cubites hie.
3 Ntwonoo a ɛda asɔredan no anim no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduasa a, ɛne asɔredan no ntrɛmu yɛ pɛ. Na, ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.
And the porch before the Temple of the house was twentie cubites long according to the breadth of the house, and ten cubites broade before the house.
4 Salomo yɛɛ ntokua wɔ ɔfasuo no soro hyiaeɛ.
And in the house he made windowes, broad without, and narrowe within.
5 Asɔredan no fasukyire no nso, wɔsisii adan bebree fomfam ho hyiaeɛ.
And by the wall of the house hee made galleries round about, euen by the walles of the house round about the Temple and the oracle, and made chambers round about.
6 Na ɛyɛ aborɔsan a ɛtoa so mmiɛnsa a aseɛ dan no tɛtrɛtɛ mu yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Aborɔsan a ɛtɔ so mmienu no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nkron ɛnna apampam dan no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa. Wɔde mpunan a ɛgugu nnannua bi a ɛhyehyɛ ɔfasuo no mu na aka adan no afomfam ɔfasuo no ho. Enti, ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔamfa mpunan no anhyehyɛ ɔfasuo no ankasa mu.
The nethermost gallerie was fiue cubites broade, and the middlemost sixe cubites broade, and the third seuen cubites broade: for he made restes round about without the house, that the beames should not be fastened in the walles of the house.
7 Na aboɔ a wɔde sii asɔredan no nso, wɔsiesiee ho wɔ abopaebea hɔ enti, ɛdan no sie no, obi ante hama, pɛeɛ anaa dadeɛ biara nnyegyeeɛ wɔ adansiiɛ hɔ.
And when the house was built, it was built of stone perfite, before it was brought, so that there was neither hammer, nor axe, nor any toole of yron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 Na ɛkwan a wɔde kɔ aseɛ adan no mu no da Asɔredan no anafoɔ fam. Atwedeɛ kyinkyimiɛ na wɔforo kɔ ɛdan a ɛto so mmienu no so na foforɔ nso wɔ adan a ɛtɔ so mmienu ne mmiɛnsa no ntam.
The doore of the middle chamber was in the right side of the house, and men went vp with winding stayres into the middlemost, and out of the middlemost into the third.
9 Wɔwiee asɔredan no sie no, Salomo de nnua ne ntweneduro mpunan yɛɛ ani nsamsoɔ no.
So he built the house and finished it, and sieled the house being vawted with sieling of cedar trees.
10 Sɛdeɛ wɔaka no, na adan wowɔ ɛdan no afanan nyinaa a wɔnam ntweneduro so de afam Asɔredan no afasuo no ho. Ɛdan no mu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson.
And he built the galleries vpon al the wall of the house of fiue cubites height, and they were ioyned to the house with beames of cedar.
11 Na Awurade de saa asɛm yi brɛɛ Salomo sɛ,
And the worde of the Lord came to Salomon, saying,
12 “Ɛfa saa Asɔredan a woresie yi ho no, sɛ woyɛ ɔsetie ma me mmara nyinaa ne me nhyehyɛeɛ a, na wodi me ɔhyɛ nsɛm so a, menam wo so bɛdi ɛbɔ a mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid no so.
Cocerning this house which thou buildest, if thou wilt walke in mine ordinances, and execute my iudgements, and keepe al my commadements, to walke in them, then will I performe vnto thee my promise, which I promised to Dauid thy father.
13 Mɛtena Israel mamfoɔ mu, na merempa me nkurɔfoɔ akyi da.”
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and wil not forsake my people Israel.
14 Na Salomo wiee asɔredan no sie.
So Salomon built the house and finished it,
15 Na emu nyinaa, ɛfiri fam kɔsi nsamsoɔ no, wɔde nnua na ɛkataa ɔfasuo no anim. Wɔde tweneduro na ɛkataa ɔfasuo no anim, na wɔde pepeaa kataa abrannaa no so.
And built the walles of the house within, with boards of cedar tree from the pauement of the house vnto the walles of the sieling, and within he couered them with wood, and couered the floore of the house with planks of firre.
16 Ɔtwaa mu, nyaa kronkronbea a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron mu kronkron wɔ asɔredan no tiri mu hɔ pɛɛ. Na ɛhɔ atweeɛmu yɛ anammɔn aduasa a wɔde ntweneduro asam fam hɔ, de kɔsi ani nsameeɛ no so.
And he built twentie cubites in the sides of the house with boards of cedar, from the floore to the walles, and he prepared a place within it for the oracle, euen the most holy place.
17 Asɔredan no ankasa a na ɛwɔ kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no, na ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduosia.
But the house, that is, the Temple before it, was fourtie cubites long.
18 Wɔde ntweneduro na ɛsam aboɔ afasuo a ɛwɔ asɔredan no nyinaa so, na wɔsenee nkoraa fɛfɛ ne nhwiren, de dii nsameeɛ no ani adwini.
And the cedar of the house within was carued with knops, and grauen with floures: all was cedar, so that no stone was seene.
19 Salomo siesiee kronkron mu kronkron a ɛtoa asɔredan no so; faako a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no bɛsi.
Also he prepared the place of the oracle in the mids of the house within, to set the Arke of the couenant of the Lord there.
20 Saa kronkron mu kronkron no, na ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduasa na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa, ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na Salomo de sikakɔkɔɔ amapa duraa nʼafasuo ne ne nsamsoɔ no ho nyinaa. Saa ara na ɔduraa afɔrebukyia a wɔde ntweneduro ayɛ no ho.
And the place of the oracle within was twentie cubites long, and twentie cubites broad, and twentie cubites hie, and hee couered it with pure golde, and couered the altar with cedar.
21 Afei, asɔredan no mu nkaeɛ no, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa sam hɔ nyinaa, na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn de guu ɛkwan a wɔde kɔ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ, de bɔɔ hɔ ano ban.
So Salomon couered the house within with pure golde: and he shut the place of the oracle with chaines of gold, and couered it with golde.
22 Enti, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ sam Asɔredan no ho nyinaa, kronkron mu kronkron ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa ho, de wieeɛ.
And he ouerlayde all the house with gold, vntill all the house was made perfite. also he couered the whole altar, that was before the oracle, with golde.
23 Kronkronbea mu hɔ, ɔde ngo dua senee Kerubim mmienu a emu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum, de sisii hɔ.
And within the oracle he made two Cherubims of oliue tree, ten cubites hie.
24 Kerubim baako biara ataban mu trɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum a, ataban baako biara tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.
The wing also of the one Cherub was fiue cubites, and the wing of the other Cherub was fiue cubites: from the vttermost part of one of his wings vnto the vttermost part of the other of his wings, were ten cubites.
25 Na Kerubim mmienu no nyinaa tebea ne wɔn kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ
Also the other Cherub was of ten cubites: both the Cherubims were of one measure and one sise.
26 a ɔbaako biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
For the height of the one Cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other Cherub.
27 Salomo de wɔn sisi bɛnee wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ asɔredan kronkronbea mu hɔ. Wɔn ataban mu trɛ no firi ɔfasuo baako kɔka ɔfasuo baako. Na wɔn ntaban a ɛwɔ ntam no hyia ɛdan no mfimfini.
And he put the Cherubims within the inner house, and the Cherubims stretched out their wings, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other Cherub touched the other wall: and their other wings touched one another in the middes of the house.
28 Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa Kerubim mmienu no ho.
And he ouerlaied the Cherubims with golde.
29 Na kronkronbea mu afasuo ne ɛdan mu no, ɔdii adwini a ɛyɛ Kerubim mmɛdua ne nhwiren guu ho.
And he carued all the walles of the house round about with grauen figures of Cherubims and of Palmetrees, and grauen flowres within and without.
30 Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa adan mmienu no abrannaa so.
And the floore of the house hee couered with golde within and without.
31 Ɛkwan a wɔfa so kɔ kronkronbea mu hɔ no, Salomo de ngo dua yɛɛ apono mmienu a emu biara wɔ twɛtwɛwa enum.
And in the entring of the oracle he made two doores of oliue tree: and the vpper post and side postes were fiue square.
32 Saa apono no ho nso, na wɔadi Kerubim, mmɛdua ne nhwiren adwini, na ne nyinaa nso, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
The two doores also were of oliue tree, and he graued them with grauing of Cherubims and palme trees, and grauen floures, and couered them with golde, and layed thin golde vpon the Cherubims and vpon the palme trees.
33 Afei, ɔde ngo dua yɛɛ aponnwa a emu biara wɔ twɛtwɛwa ɛnan a wɔfa hɔ kɔ asɔredan no mu.
And so made he for the doore of the Temple, postes of oliue tree foure square.
34 Ɔde pepeaa nnua yɛɛ apono mmienu a wɔbobɔ, na wɔsii ɛpono no biara ɛkwan bi so sɛ, emu biara tumi bobɔ gu ɛno ara so.
But the two doores were of firre tree, the two sides of the one doore were round, and the two sides of the other doore were round.
35 Saa apono yi, wɔde Kerubim, mmɛdua, ne nhwiren adi ho adwini, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
And he graued Cherubims, and palme trees, and carued floures and couered the carued worke with golde, finely wrought.
36 Wɔsii adihɔ hɔ afasuo no kwan bi so a ntweneduro nnua ntosoɔ baako wɔ aboɔ a wɔatwa ntotosoɔ mmiɛnsa biara so.
And hee built the court within with three rowes of hewed stone, and one rowe of beames of cedar.
37 Wɔtwaa Awurade Asɔredan fapem no bosome Siv (bɛyɛ Kɔtɔnimaa) mfimfini a saa ɛberɛ no na Salomo adi ɔhene mfeɛ ɛnan no.
In the fourth yeere was the foundation of the house of the Lord layed in the moneth of Zif:
38 Wɔwiee ɛdan no ho biribiara bosome Bul (bɛyɛ Obubuo) mfimfini no a na wadi ɔhene mfeɛ dubaako. Enti, mfeɛ nson na wɔde sii asɔredan no.
And in the eleuenth yeere in the moneth of Bul, (which is the eight moneth) hee finished the house with all the furniture thereof, and in euery point: so was he seuen yeere in building it.
