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.
Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to David his father. He prepared the place that David had planned for it, at 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.
He began to build on the second day of 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.
Now these are the dimensions of the foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God. Using the old style cubit, the length was sixty cubits, and the width was 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.
The length of the portico at the front of the house was twenty cubits, matching the building's width. Its height was also twenty cubits, and Solomon overlaid its interior 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.
He fashioned the ceiling of the main hall with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold, and which he carved with palm trees and chains.
6 Aboɔdemmoɔ a ɛyɛ fɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛfiri Parwaim na wɔde siesiee Asɔredan no afasuo ho.
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold from Parvaim.
7 Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ guu Asɔredan no afasuo, afadum, apono ne aboboano nyinaa ho, na wɔdii Kerubim sɛso adwinnie wɔ afasuo no ho.
He also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its 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.
He built the most holy place. Its length matched the house's width, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 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.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid its high surfaces with gold.
10 Salomo yɛɛ Kerubim sɛso mmienu, de sikakɔkɔɔ amapa guu ho. Wɔde yeinom sisii Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
He made two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen overlaid 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.
The wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits long all together; the wing of one cherub was five cubits long, reaching to the wall of the room; the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to 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.
The wing of the other cherub was also five cubits, reaching to the wall of the room; its other wing was also five cubits, touching the wing of the first 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 cherubs spread a total of twenty cubits. The cherubs stood on their feet, with their faces toward the main hall.
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.
He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs 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.
Solomon also made two pillars, each thirty-five cubits high, for in front of the house; the capitals that were on the top of them were five cubits high.
16 Ɔyɛɛ ntweaban nsosɔmu, de siesiee afadum no atifi. Ɔsane yɛɛ ateaa aba nsɛso fɛfɛ de sosɔɔ ntweaban no mu.
He made chains for the pillars and put them on top of them; he also made one hundred pomegranates and joined them to 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.
He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; he named the pillar on the right Jakin, and the pillar on the left Boaz.
