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 begins to build the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, on the mount of Moriah where He appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,
2 Salomo dii adeɛ no, ne mfeɛ ɛnan so, Adar bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) mu, na wɔhyɛɛ ɛdan no sie ase.
and he begins to build in the second [day], 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 [in] these Solomon has been instructed to build the house of God: the length [in] cubits by the former measure [is] 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.
As for the porch that [is] on the front, the length [is] by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty [[or twenty]], and he overlays 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 has covered the large house with fir-trees, and he covers it with fine gold, and causes palms and chains to ascend on it,
6 Aboɔdemmoɔ a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛfiri Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasuo ho.
and he overlays the house with precious stone for beauty, and the gold [is] gold of Parvaim,
7 Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ guu Asɔredan no afasuo, afadum, apono ne aboboano nyinaa ho, na wɔdii Kerubim sɛso adwinnie wɔ afasuo no ho.
and he covers the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and has engraved cherubim 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 makes the most holy house: its length by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and he covers it with six hundred talents of fine gold;
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 [is] fifty shekels of gold, and he has covered the upper chambers with gold.
10 Salomo yɛɛ Kerubim sɛso mmienu, de sikakɔkɔɔ amapa guu ho. Wɔde yeinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
And he makes two cherubim in the most holy house, image work, and he overlays 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.
as for the wings of the cherubim, their length [is] twenty cubits, the wing of the one [is] five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, touching 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.
And the wing of the other cherub [is] five cubits touching the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, adhering to the wing of the other cherub.
13 Enti, na Kerubim mmienu no ntaban mu ntrɛmu yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Na wɔn nyinaa sisi hɔ a wɔn anim kyerɛ Asɔredan no mu.
The wings of these cherubim are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces [are] inward.
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 makes the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and causes cherubim to go up on 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.
And he makes two pillars at the front of the house, thirty-five cubits in length, and the ornament that [is] on their heads [is] five cubits.
16 Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nsosɔmu, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsane yɛɛ ateaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de sosɔɔ ntweaban no mu.
And he makes chains in the oracle, and puts [them] on the heads of the pillars, and makes one hundred pomegranates, and puts [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 raises up the pillars on the front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left, and calls the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
