2 Berɛsosɛm 3
1 Na Salomo hyɛɛ aseɛ sii Awurade Asɔredan no wɔ Yerusalem Moria bepɔ so a ɛhɔ na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo agya Ɔhene Dawid no. Wɔsii Asɔredan no wɔ Yebusini Arauna ayuporobea hɔ, beaeɛ a Dawid yi too hɔ no.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in the mount of Amoria, where the Lord appeared to his father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
2 Salomo dii adeɛ no, ne mfeɛ ɛnan so, Adar bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) mu, na wɔhyɛɛ ɛdan no sie ase.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Na Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no fapem atweeɛmu yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, ɛnna ne tɛtrɛtɛ mu yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
And thus Solomon began to build the house of God: the length in cubits—even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Ntwonoo a ɛwɔ Asɔredan no anim tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa, a ɛne Asɔredan no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ pɛ. Afasuo a ɛwɔ ntwonoo no mu no nyinaa, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura mu. Ntwonoo no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and twenty cubits: and he gilded it within with pure gold.
5 Pepeaa nnua na wɔde samm Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa guu so, dii mmɛdua ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn adwinnie wɔ so.
And he lined the great house with cedar wood, and gilded it with pure gold, and carved upon it palm-trees and chains.
6 Aboɔdemmoɔ a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛfiri Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasuo ho.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; and he gilded it with gold of the gold from Pharuim.
7 Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ guu Asɔredan no afasuo, afadum, apono ne aboboano nyinaa ho, na wɔdii Kerubim sɛso adwinnie wɔ afasuo no ho.
And he gilded the house, and its [inner] walls, and the door-posts, and the roofs, and the doors with gold; and he carved cherubs on the walls.
8 Na Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa te sɛ asɔredan no ara, nʼatweeɛmu nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Sikakɔkɔɔ amapa bɛyɛ nkariboɔ tɔno aduonu mmiɛnsa na wɔde guu so.
And he built the holy of holies, its length was according to the front [of the other house], the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the length twenty cubits: and he gilded [it] with pure gold for cherubs, to [the amount of] six hundred talents.
9 Sikakɔkɔɔ nnadewa a ebiara kari bɛyɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson enum na wɔde dii ɛdan no ho dwuma. Sikakɔkɔɔ amapa na wɔde guu soro adan no afasuo ani.
And the weight of the nails, [even] the weight of each was fifty shekels of gold: and he gilded the upper chamber with gold.
10 Salomo yɛɛ Kerubim sɛso mmienu, de sikakɔkɔɔ amapa guu ho. Wɔde yeinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
And he made two cherubs in the most holy house, wood-work, and he gilded them with gold.
11 Kerubim mmienu no a wɔsisi hɔ no ntaban ka bɔ mu a, ne ntrɛmu yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Kerubim baako ataban baako a ɛpem ɔfasuo no tentene yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Ataban baako no nso a ɛyɛ anammɔn nson ne fa no, ɛne Kerubim baako no ataban hyia.
And the wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits in length: and one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house: and the other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Saa ara nso na Kerubim a ɔtɔ so mmienu no ataban baako mu ntrɛmu yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa, na ɛpem Asɔredan no ɔfasuo a ɛne ɔfasuo baako no di nhwɛanim. Ataban baako a aka no nso ntrɛmu a ɛyɛ anammɔn nson ne fa no, ɛhyia Kerubim a ɛdi ɛkan no ataban baako.
13 Enti, na Kerubim mmienu no ntaban mu ntrɛmu yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na wɔn nyinaa sisi hɔ a wɔn anim kyerɛ Asɔredan no mu.
And the wings of these cherubs expanded were of the length of twenty cubits: and they stood upon their feet, and their faces were towards the house.
14 Salomo de ntwamutam a ɔde bibire ne asaawa a ɛberedum ne koogyan ne nwera ayɛ, a wɔanwono Kerubim nsɛsodeɛ agu mu, sɛnee Kronkron mu Kronkron no kwan ano.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and wove cherubs in it.
15 Asɔredan no anim, Salomo yɛɛ afadum mmienu a emu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu nson. Na ntaasoɔ kata emu biara atifi a ɛno nso ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.
Also he made in front of the house two pillars, in height thirty-five cubits, and their chapters of five cubits.
16 Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nsosɔmu, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsane yɛɛ ateaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de sosɔɔ ntweaban no mu.
And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 Afei, ɔde afadum mmienu no sisii Asɔredan no ano ɛkwan ano. Ɔde baako sii ɛkwan no anafoɔ fam no ano, ɛnna ɔde baako nso sii atifi fam. Ɔtoo deɛ ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no edin Yakin, ɛnna deɛ ɛwɔ atifi fam no, ɔtoo no edin Boas.
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left: and he called the name of the one on the right hand 'Stability,' and the name of the one on the left 'Strength.'
