1 Ahemfo 8
1 Afei, Salomo frɛɛ Israel mmusuakuo ne mmusua biara mu ntuanofoɔ nyinaa, sɛ wɔnhyia wɔ Yerusalem. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa Awurade Apam Adaka no firi baabi a ɛwɔ wɔ Dawid kuro a wɔfrɛ no Sion no mu, de ba baabi foforɔ wɔ Asɔredan mu hɔ.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the City of David, which is Zion.
2 Wɔn nyinaa bɛhyiaa wɔ ɔhene anim wɔ afirinhyia afahyɛ a wɔfrɛ no Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no ase wɔ bosome Bul (bɛyɛ Ahinime) mu.
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Ɛberɛ a mpanimfoɔ no duruu Israel no, asɔfoɔ no maa Adaka no so.
All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 Afei, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ maa Awurade Adaka no ne Ntomadan no so, soa de kɔɔ Asɔredan no mu a ɛho nkuku ne nkaka a wɔate ho no ka ho.
They brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; and the priests and the Levites brought them up.
5 Ɔhene Salomo ne Israel manfoɔ no nyinaa de nnwan ne anantwie a wɔn dodoɔ nni ano bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Adaka no anim.
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
6 Afei, asɔfoɔ no soaa Awurade Adaka no de kɔɔ Asɔredan no kronkron mu kronkron hɔ. Wɔde sii Kerubim no ntaban ase.
The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
7 Kerubim no trɛɛ wɔn ntaban mu wɔ Adaka no so, ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ kyiniiɛ wɔ Adaka no ne ne nnua a ɛsosɔ mu no so.
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
8 Na nnua a ɛsosɔ mu no woware ara kɔsi sɛ, sɛ obi gyina Asɔredan no kwan a ɛwɔ anim dan kɛseɛ a ɛyɛ kronkronbea no ano a, ɔhunu, nanso sɛ ɔgyina akyire deɛ a, ɔnhunu. Ne nyinaa da so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
9 Na biribiara nni Adaka no mu ka aboɔ apono mmienu a Mose de guu mu wɔ Horeb no, baabi a Awurade ne Israelfoɔ yɛɛ apam, ɛberɛ a wɔfirii Misraim no.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Asɔfoɔ no refiri Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ no, omununkum bɛhyɛɛ Awurade Asɔredan no ma.
It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
11 Asɔfoɔ no antumi antoa wɔn dwumadie no so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade animuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
12 Na Salomo bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, woaka sɛ wobɛtena omununkum kusuu mu.
Then Solomon said, "Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick cloud.
13 Nanso, masi Asɔredan a ɛwɔ animuonyam ama wo a wobɛtumi atena mu afebɔɔ.”
I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever."
14 Na ɔhene no danee ne ho kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ a wɔgyina nʼanim no nyinaa, hyiraa wɔn sɛ,
The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
15 “Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a wadi ɛbɔ a ɔhyɛɛ mʼagya Dawid no so.
He said, "Blessed is Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ mʼagya sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri da a mede me nkurɔfoɔ Israel firi Misraim baeɛ no, mannyi kuro biara wɔ Israel mmusuakuo no mu a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsi asɔredan, de hyɛ me din animuonyam. Nanso, seesei mayi Dawid sɛ ɔnni ɔhene wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so.’”
'Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, so that my name might be there; nor did I choose anyone to be a leader over my people Israel. But I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'
17 Na Salomo kaa sɛ, “Mʼagya pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔsi Asɔredan yi de hyɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn din animuonyam.
"Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
18 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛ sɛ wopɛ sɛ wosi Asɔredan de hyɛ me din animuonyam,
But Jehovah said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 nanso ɛnyɛ wo na wobɛyɛ. Mmom, wo mmammarima no mu baako na ɔbɛsi.’
Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'
20 “Na seesei, Awurade ayɛ deɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, madi adeɛ sɛ ɔhene, asi mʼagya anan mu. Masi saa Asɔredan yi de ahyɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn din animuonyam.
Jehovah has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
21 Na masiesie baabi wɔ hɔ ama Adaka a Awurade Apam a ɔne yɛn agyanom yɛɛ wɔ ɛberɛ a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim no.”
There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt."
22 Na Salomo gyinaa hɔ, pagyaa ne nsa kyerɛɛ soro wɔ Awurade afɔrebukyia no anim wɔ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa anim.
Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven. Now Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, eight feet and seven inches long, and eight feet and seven inches broad, and five feet and two inches high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
23 Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, Onyame biara nni hɔ a ɔte sɛ wo wɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so. Wodi wo bɔhyɛ so, na woda wo dɔ a ɛnni awieeɛ adi kyerɛ wɔn a wɔtie wo, na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔyɛ wʼapɛdeɛ nso.
And he said, "Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; keeping covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
24 Wo bɔ a wohyɛɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid a ɔyɛ mʼagya no, woadi so. Wʼankasa wʼano na wode hyɛɛ bɔ no, na ɛnnɛ, wonam wʼankasa wo nsa so ama aba mu.
who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
25 “Afei, Ao Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ma ɛbɔ a wokɔɔ so hyɛɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid a ɔyɛ mʼagya no mmra mu. Woka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ wʼasefoɔ bɔ wɔn bra yie, na wɔdi me mmara so sɛdeɛ woayɛ no a, wɔbɛdi Israel so ɔhene daa daa.’
Now therefore, may Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.'
26 Enti afei, Ao, Israel Onyankopɔn, di ɛbɔ a woahyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ, mʼagya Dawid no so.
"Now therefore, Jehovah, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
27 “Na ɛyɛ ampa sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛtena asase so? Mpo, sɛ ɔsorosoro sua ma wo a, ɛdeɛn na yɛbɛka afa Asɔredan a masi yi ho!
But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Look, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house that I have built.
28 Tie me mpaeɛbɔ ne mʼadesrɛdeɛ, Ao, Awurade, me Onyankopɔn. Tie su a wo ɔsomfoɔ resu ne mpaeɛ a wo ɔsomfoɔ rebɔ akyerɛ wo ɛnnɛ.
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his petition, Jehovah my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;
29 Wobɛhwɛ Asɔredan yi so awia ne anadwo; saa beaeɛ a woaka sɛ wode wo din bɛto so no. Wobɛtie mpaeɛ a mebɔ wɔ beaeɛ yi daa.
that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, 'My name shall be there;' to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
30 Tie mʼahobrɛaseɛ ne nokorɛ abisadeɛ a ɛfiri me ne wo nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ nkyɛn, ɛberɛ a yɛrebɔ mpaeɛ wɔ beaeɛ ha no. Aane, tie yɛn firi soro a wote hɔ no, na sɛ wote a, fa kyɛ.
Listen to the petition of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
31 “Sɛ obi fom obi, na ɛho hia sɛ ɔka ho ntam sɛ ɔnnim ho hwee wɔ afɔrebukyia a ɛsi asɔredan mu no anim a,
"If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;
32 tie firi soro, na bu wʼasomfoɔ baanu no a ɛyɛ deɛ wɔabɔ no soboɔ no ne soboɔbɔfoɔ no ntam atɛn. Deɛ ɔdi fɔ no, twe nʼaso na gyaa deɛ ɔdi bem no.
then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 “Sɛ wɔdi wo nkurɔfoɔ Israel so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔayɛ bɔne atia wo, na sɛ wɔdane ba wo nkyɛn, na wɔbɔ wo din frɛ wo, na wɔbɔ wo mpaeɛ wɔ Asɔredan mu ha a,
"When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make petition to you in this house:
34 ɛnneɛ, tie firi soro, na fa wɔn bɔne kyɛ wɔn, na ma wɔnsane nkɔ asase a wode maa wɔn agyanom no so.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
35 “Sɛ ɔsoro mu ato, na osuo ntɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wo nkurɔfoɔ ayɛ bɔne atia wo, na afei, wɔbɔ mpaeɛ wɔ Asɔredan mu ha, bɔ wo din, ka wɔn bɔne, na wɔdane firi wɔn bɔne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, woatwe wɔn aso a,
"When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you punish them:
36 ɛnneɛ, tie firi soro, na fa wʼasomfoɔ, wo nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ bɔne no kyɛ. Kyerɛ wɔn deɛ ɛyɛ, na ma osuo ntɔ ngu wʼasase a wode ama wo nkurɔfoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ sononko no so.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
37 “Sɛ ɛkɔm si asase no so anaa ɔyaredɔm ba so anaa mfudeɛ nyarewa ba anaa ntutummɛ ne asa bɛgu mfudeɛ so, anaa wo nkurɔfoɔ atamfoɔ ba asase no so bɛtua wɔn nkuro a, sɛdeɛ ɔhaw no te biara no,
"If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
38 na sɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ bɔ mpaeɛ wɔ wɔn haw ne awerɛhoɔ ho, na wɔpagya wɔn nsa wɔ asɔredan yi mu a,
whatever prayer and petition is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 tie firi soro, deɛ wote hɔ, na fa kyɛ. Fa biribiara a ɛyɛ ma wo nkurɔfoɔ ma wɔn, na wo nko ara na wonim onipa akoma mu.
then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of humankind; )
40 Na wɔbɛsuro wo, na wɔanante wʼakwan so, berɛ dodoɔ a wɔte asase a wode maa yɛn agyanom yi so no.
that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
41 “Na sɛ ananafoɔ te wo nka, na wɔfiri akyirikyiri nsase so ba bɛsom wo din kɛseɛ no a,
"Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name's sake
42 wɔbɛte wo nka, wo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ akɛseɛ no ne wo tumi ho asɛm, na sɛ wɔbɔ mpaeɛ wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu a,

then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
44 “Sɛ wohyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ ma wɔpue, kɔko tia wɔn atamfoɔ, na sɛ wɔbɔ mpaeɛ, srɛ Awurade fa saa kuro yi a woayi yi, ne saa Asɔredan a masi de wo din ato so yi ho a,
"If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
45 ɛnneɛ, tie wɔn mpaeɛbɔ firi soro, na yɛ wɔn abisadeɛ ma wɔn.
then hear in heaven their prayer and their petition, and maintain their cause.
46 “Sɛ wɔyɛ bɔne tia wo a, na hwan na ɔnyɛɛ bɔne da? Wo bo bɛfu wɔn, na woama wɔn atamfoɔ adi wɔn so, na wɔafa wɔn nnommum de wɔn akɔ ananasase a ɛwɔ akyiri anaasɛ ɛbɛn so.
If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
47 Na saa ahɔhosase no so, wɔde ahonu sane ba wo nkyɛn, bɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, ‘Yɛayɛ bɔne; yɛayɛ amumuyɛsɛm ne atirimuɔdensɛm,’
yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and repent and make petition to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, 'We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;'
48 Na sɛ wɔde wɔn akoma ne wɔn kra nyinaa dane ba wo nkyɛn, na wɔbɔ mpaeɛ ma asase a wode maa wɔn agyanom no ho, saa kuro a woayi ne saa Asɔredan a masi de ahyɛ wo din animuonyam yi a,
if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
49 ɛnneɛ, tie wɔn mpaeɛbɔ firi soro baabi a wote hɔ. Yɛ wɔn apɛdeɛ ma wɔn,
then hear their prayer and their petition in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
50 na fa wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔayɛ bɔne atia wo no bɔne kyɛ wɔn. Ma wɔn nnommumfafoɔ nhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ,
and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ, wʼagyapadeɛ sononko a woyii wɔn firii Misraim dadenane fononoo mu.
(for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace);
52 “Bue wʼani ma mʼabisadeɛ ne wo nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ abisadeɛ. Ɛberɛ biara a wɔbɛsu afrɛ wo no, tie wɔn, na gye wɔn so.
that your eyes and your ears may be open to the petition of your servant, and to the petition of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
53 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a woyii yɛn agyanom firii Misraim no, Ao, Otumfoɔ Awurade, woka kyerɛɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ Mose sɛ, woate Israel afiri aman a aka nyinaa a ɛwɔ asase yi so ho sɛ, wɔnyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ sononko.”
For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Jehovah."
54 Ɛberɛ a Salomo wiee saa mpaeɛbɔ ne nʼabisadeɛ a ɔde danee Awurade yi no, ɔgyinaa Awurade afɔrebukyia anim, baabi a na ɔtaa bu nkotodwe, na ɔpagya ne nsa kyerɛ soro.
It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and petition to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
55 Ɔgyinaa hɔ teaam, hyiraa Israelfoɔ no so sɛ,
He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 “Ayɛyie nka Awurade a wama ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ ɔhome, sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ no. Ɛbɔ nwanwa a ɔnam Mose so daa no adi no mu baako koraa nni hɔ a amma mu.
"Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
57 Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, nka yɛn ho sɛdeɛ ɔkaa yɛn agyanom ho no; ɔrennya yɛn da biara da.
May Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;
58 Ɔmma yɛnya ɔpɛ a yɛde bɛyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ wɔ biribiara mu, na yɛnni mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a ɔhyɛ de maa yɛn agyanom no nyinaa so.
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Na ma ɔnkae saa nsɛm a magyina so de abɔ saa mpaeɛ wɔ Awurade anim yi daa awia ne anadwo, sɛdeɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛtie me ne Israelfoɔ, na wayɛ deɛ ɛhia yɛn daa ama yɛn.
Let these my words, with which I have made petition before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;
60 Ma nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa nhunu sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn, na onyame foforɔ biara nni hɔ.
that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God. There is no other.
61 Na mo a moyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ no, nni Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, no nokorɛ daa. Monni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so daa, sɛdeɛ moyɛ no ɛnnɛ yi.”
"Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."
62 Na ɔhene no ne Israelfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade.
The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
63 Salomo bɔɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ anantwie ɔpeduonu mmienu ne nnwan ɔpeha aduonu. Na ɔhene no ne Israel nyinaa daa Asɔredan no adi, de maa Awurade.
Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
64 Saa ɛda no ara, ɔhene no daa Asɔredan no adihɔ no mfimfini a ɛka Awurade Asɔredan ho no adi. Ɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ho sradeɛ no wɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no sua dodo sɛ ɛbɛtumi akora afɔrebɔdeɛ bebree.
The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Na Salomo ne Israel nyinaa boom, dii Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ wɔ Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, anim. Nnipadɔm no firi Lebo Hamat wɔ atifi fam kɔsi Misraim asuwa wɔ anafoɔ fam, na wɔbaeɛ. Afahyɛ yi kɔɔ so ara nnafua dunan. Emu nnanson na wɔde daa afɔrebukyia no adi, ɛnna wɔde mu nnanson nso dii Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no.
So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt, before Jehovah our God in the house which he built, eating and drinking and rejoicing before Jehovah our God seven days and seven days; fourteen days.
66 Afahyɛ no twaam no, Salomo maa ɔmanfoɔ no kɔɔ wɔn kurom. Wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na wɔrehyira ɔhene no. Na wɔn nyinaa nyaa ahosɛpɛ ne ahotɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ne ne ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne Israelfoɔ adi no yie.
And on the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
