1 Ahemfo 7
1 Salomo sane sii ɔno ankasa nʼahemfie. Na mfirinhyia dumiɛnsa na ɔde wiee ahemfie no sie.
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2 Na wɔfrɛ Salomo adan no mu baako Lebanon Kwaeɛm Ahemfie. Na ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum, ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum. Na ntweneduro nsamsoɔ no mpunan no deda ntweneduro fadum ɛnan a wɔatoto ahyehyɛ no tee so.
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 Na wɔabɔ ntweneduro nsamsoɔ a ɛtwere mpunan aduanan enum a ɛno nso gugu fadum a wɔatoto, ahyehyɛ no ntentenesoɔ mmiɛnsa mu a, dunum na ɛwɔ ntentenesoɔ baako biara mu.
And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams, that [lay] on forty five pillars, fifteen [in] a row.
4 Afasuo no fa biara, mpomma sesa so mmiɛnsa mmiɛnsa a ɛdidi nhwɛanimu.
And [there were] windows [in] three rows, and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.
5 Apono no akwan nyinaa, wɔayɛ no ahinanan mmiɛnsa mmiɛnsa a ɛdidi nhwɛanimu.
And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the windows: and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.
6 Ɔsii afadum asa a ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum. Na ntwonoo a wɔakuru so wɔ animu a ɛsi afadum so.
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch [was] before them: and the [other] pillars and the thick beam [were] before them.
7 Na ahennwa asa a na wɔnim no sɛ atemmuo asa nso wɔ hɔ. Ɛhɔ na na Salomo tena, di nsɛm. Na wɔde ntweneduro asam firi fam, de kɔsi nsamsoɔ so.
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, [even] the porch of judgment: and [it was] covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 Baabi a na Salomo teɛ no twa asɛnniiɛ a ɛwɔ asa no akyi no ho hyia. Ɛkwan korɔ no ara so na wɔfa de siiɛ. Ɔsii ne dan no sɛso de maa Farao babaa a na ɔyɛ ne yerenom no mu baako.
And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within the porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken [to wife], like unto this porch.
9 Aboɔ akɛseɛ a wɔatwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a ne boɔ yɛ den yie na wɔde sii saa adan no.
All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the outside toward the great court.
10 Aboɔ a wɔde too ɛdan no fapem no ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn dunum, ɛnna ebi nso ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn dumienu.
And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 Aboɔ a ne boɔ yɛ den yie a wɔde sii afasuo no nso, na wɔasusu, atwa no pɛpɛɛpɛ a ntweneduro mpunan nso ka ho.
And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
12 Adihɔ kɛseɛ no afasuo no nso, wɔto de ntweneduro mpunan aduntire baako biara too aboɔ a wɔatwa aduntire mmiɛnsa biara so, te sɛ afasuo a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mfimfini mu hɔ a ntwonoo kwan ka ho.
And the great court round about [was] with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
13 Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ɔbarima bi a ɔfiri Tiro a ne din de Huram ase sɛ ɔmfiri Tiro mmra,
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔyɛ odwumfoɔ a ɔnim kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ho adwinneɛ yie. Na ɔyɛ Israelni fa, ɛfiri sɛ, ne maame yɛ okunafoɔ a ɔfiri Naftali abusuakuo mu. Nʼagya nso na ɔyɛ adwuma wɔ baabi a wɔnane nnadeɛ wɔ Tiro. Enti, ɔbɛyɛɛ adwuma maa ɔhene Salomo.
He [was] a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 Huram twaa kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afadum mmienu a emu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu nson, ɛnna ne kankomu nso yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.
For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
16 Afadum no apampam no, ɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ yɛɛ aduntire a emu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.
And he made two chapiters [of] molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter [was] five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter [was] five cubits:
17 Ntaasoɔ biara nso, wɔde atena a wɔanwono nson ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn na ahyehyɛ ho.
[And] nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
18 Na ɔyɛɛ ateaa nsɛso a ɛsesa so tee mmienu bebaree atena a wɔanwono no de siesiee aduntire a ɛwɔ afadum no atifi.
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that [were] upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
19 Ntaasoɔ a ɛwɔ afadum a ɛwɔ ntwonoo no mu no, na wɔayɛ no sɛ sukooko a ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nsia.
And the chapiters that [were] upon the top of the pillars [were] of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 Ntaasoɔ biara a na ɛwɔ afadum mmienu no so no nso, na ateaa nsɛso ahanu a wɔahyehyɛ no tee tee mmienu atwa ho ahyia a, ɛbɛn kankonimu a ɛtoa atena a wɔanwono no so.
And the chapiters upon the two pillars [had pomegranates] also above, over against the belly which [was] by the network: and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
21 Huram de afadum no sisii Asɔredan no ɛkwan ano a baako kyerɛ anafoɔ fam na baako nso kyerɛ atifi fam. Ɔtoo baako a ɛkyerɛ anafoɔ fam no din Yakin (Ɔde atim hɔ) ɛnna deɛ ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, ɔtoo no Boas (Ne mu na ahoɔden wɔ).
And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
22 Afadum no aduntire no, wɔyɛɛ no sɛ sukooko. Saa na ɔyɛ de wiee afadum no ho adwuma.
And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 Afei, Huram twaa dwaresɛn kurukuruwa kɛseɛ bi a ɛfiri ano kɔka ano no yɛ anammɔn dunum. Wɔtoo no edin Ɛpo. Na emu tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa, na ne kankomu nso yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum.
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
24 Ɛpo no ano pɛɛ na na wɔde nkoraa a wɔadi no adwini atwa ho ahyia. Na nkoraa bɛyɛ nsia a ɛkwan a ɛdeda wɔn ntam yɛ anammɔn baako. Na wɔayɛ ama ayɛ sɛ dwaresɛn no fa bi.
And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast.
25 Na Ɛpo no si nsiaseɛ a ɛyɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ anantwie dumienu sɛso so. Na wɔn nyinaa ani kyerɛkyerɛ abɔntene. Mmiɛnsa ani kyerɛ atifi fam. Mmiɛnsa ani kyerɛ atɔeɛ fam. Mmiɛnsa kyerɛ anafoɔ fam, ɛnna mmiɛnsa nso ani kyerɛ apueeɛ fam.
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.
26 Na Ɛpo no afasuo mu pipiripie bɛyɛ nsateakwaa mmiɛnsa, na ano no ntrɛmu te sɛ bonsua, na na ɛte sɛ sukooko a apaeɛ. Na ɛbɛtumi akora nsuo bɛyɛ gyare mpem dubaako.
And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
27 Huram sane yɛɛ nteaseɛnam edu a wɔde twe nsuo a emu biara tentenemu yɛ anammɔn nsia na ne tɛtrɛtɛmu nso yɛ anammɔn nsia, ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ɛnan ne fa.
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits [was] the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
28 Na sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ nteaseɛnam no ne sɛ, ɛwowɔ mfomfamsoɔ ntrawantrawa a wɔabram so.
And the work of the bases [was] on this [manner: ] they had borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges:
29 Wɔde agyata, anantwie ne Kerubim a wɔasene siesiee mfomfamsoɔ no ne nnadeɛ a wɔde bram ɛpono akyi no. Agyata no ne anantwie no so ne wɔn ase na wɔagu nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ, de asiesie wɔn.
And on the borders that [were] between the ledges [were] lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges [there was] a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain additions made of thin work.
30 Na saa nteaseɛnam no mu biara wɔ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ntwahonan ɛnan ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ntwahodadeɛ. Na nteaseɛnam biara twɛtwɛwa no wɔ nnyinasoɔ afadum de ma kɔbere mfrafraeɛ dwaresɛn no; saa nnyinasoɔ no ho na wɔadi nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ adwini.
And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver [were] undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
31 Nteaseɛnam no biara wɔ nnyinasoɔ kurukuruwa bi wɔ nʼatifi ma dwaresɛn no. Na ɛhwire mu, kɔ soro bɛyɛ anammɔn baako ne fa wɔ teaseɛnam no atifi te sɛ ntaamudeɛ kurukuruwa bi. Na ano a abue no yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne nsateakwaa mmiɛnsa. Ɛho no na wɔde nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ adwinnie asiesie. Na nteaseɛnam no mfomfamsoɔ no yɛ ahinanan na ɛnyɛ kurukuruwa.
And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above [was] a cubit: but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it [were] gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 Mfomfamsoɔ no ase na ntwahonan ɛnan a wɔde atoa ntwahodadeɛ so a wɔagu ne nyinaa atoa mu ayɛ baako no hyehyɛ. Na ɛfiri ntwahonan no kanko ano kɔsi ano yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne nsateakwaa mmiɛnsa,
And under the borders [were] four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels [were joined] to the base: and the height of a wheel [was] a cubit and half a cubit.
33 a na ɛte sɛ teaseɛnam a ɛwɔ ntwahonan mmienu. Emu ntwahodadeɛ, mpadeɛ, hankra ne ne brɛmo no nyinaa, wɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ na ɛyɛeɛ.
And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, [were] all molten.
34 Na teaseɛnam no ahanan nyinaa nsosɔmu wowɔ hɔ, na ne nyinaa nso, wɔagu atoa mu baako, ma ɛne teaseɛnam no atoa mu.
And [there were] four undersetters to the four corners of one base: [and] the undersetters [were] of the very base itself.
35 Nteaseɛnam no mu biara atifi no, na na hankra bi a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ nsateakwaa nkron wɔ. Nsosɔmu no ne nkyɛnkyɛn mfomfamsoɔ no nso, wɔagu ma ɛne teaseɛnam no atoa mu.
And in the top of the base [was there] a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof [were] of the same.
36 Wɔde Kerubim, agyata ne mmɛdua a wɔasene siesiee mfomfamsoɔ no ne nnyinasoɔ ahodoɔ no ho baabiara a ɛkwan wɔ. Na wɔagu nhwiren a wɔahyehyɛ atwa ho nyinaa ahyia.
For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
37 Nsuo nteaseɛnam edu no, na ne nyinaa akɛseɛ yɛ pɛ, na ne nyinaa sesɛ, na wɔguu ne nyinaa wɔ ade korɔ mu.
After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, [and] one size.
38 Huram sane yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ dwaresɛn edu de maa nteaseɛnam no mu biara. Na dwaresɛn no mu tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nsia a ɛtumi kora nsuo gyare ahanu aduonu.
Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: [and] every laver was four cubits: [and] upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
39 Ɔhyehyɛɛ nsuo nteaseɛnam no enum wɔ Asɔredan no anafoɔ fam ɛnna enum nso wɔ atifi fam. Wɔde Ɛpo no sii Asɔredan no anafoɔ apueeɛ fam twɛtwɛwa so.
And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.
40 Afei, ɔyɛɛ nkukuo, sofi ne dwaresɛn a ɛho hia. Ne korakora no, Huram wiee biribiara a ɔhene Salomo kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho:
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
41 afadum mmienu, aduntire a wɔayɛ no sɛ asansuo mmienu a ɛsisi afadum no atifi, nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mmienu a wɔde asiesie aduntire no,
The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the chapiters that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars;
42 ateaa nsɛso ahanan a ɛsensɛn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛgu aduntire no so (ateaa a wɔahyehyɛ no ntentenesoɔ mmienu a ebiara sa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛsensɛn aduntire a ɛwɔ afadum no atifi no so no),
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, [even] two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that [were] upon the pillars;
43 nsuo nteaseɛnam edu a dwaresɛn edu sisi soɔ,
And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
44 Ɛpo no ne anantwie dumienu a ɛhyehyɛ aseɛ,
And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
45 Nkukuo, sofi ne dwaresɛn. Na nkuku ne nkaka a Huram yɛ maa ɔhene Salomo de guu Awurade Asɔredan mu no nyinaa yɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔapɔ ho.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, [were of] bright brass.
46 Ɔhene ma wɔguu no kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan bɔnhwa a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no mu.
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 Salomo ankari nkuku ne nkaka no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛdɔɔso dodo; na kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no mu duru nso, wɔantumi ankari.
And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
48 Na Salomo de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa siesiee Awurade Asɔredan no mu: sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia, sikakɔkɔɔ kyerɛ ɛpono a Hyiadan mu Burodo no gu soɔ,
And Solomon made all the vessels that [pertained] unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread [was],
49 sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua a ɛnnum sisi anafoɔ fam, na enum sisi atifi fam wɔ kronkron mu kronkron animu hɔ; nhwiren a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nkanea ne nkapɛ a ne nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ,
And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right [side], and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs [of] gold,
50 nkuruwa, nkanea akapɛ, nsisoɔ, nyowaa ne nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nko ara; ɛkwan ano apono a ɛkɔ kronkron mu kronkron ne Asɔredan no mu ne animu nyinaa, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers [of] pure gold; and the hinges [of] gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the most holy [place, and] for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple.
51 Ɔhene Salomo wiee Awurade asɔredan no ho adwuma nyinaa. Na Salomo de akyɛdeɛ a nʼagya Dawid ato edin no nyinaa a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne nkuku ne nkaka ba bɛkoraa wɔ adekoradan mu wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.
So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
