2 Berɛsosɛm 4
1 Salomo sane yɛɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduasa, ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa saa ara, na ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn dunum.
Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,
2 Afei, ɔyɛɛ nsukoradeɛ kɛseɛ kurukuruwa bi a ɛfiri ano kɔka ano yɛ anammɔn dunum. Wɔtoo no edin Ɛpo. Na emu tenten yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa, na ne kanko mu yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum.
as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.
3 Na Ɛpo no wɔ nsɛsodeɛ a ɛte sɛ anantwie a wɔatwa afa ano no ase ahyia. Anammɔn baako biara mu no, na anantwie sɛso nsia wɔ so a wɔagu ama afra nsukoradeɛ no.
Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.
4 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.
And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.
5 Ɛpo no afasuo mu pipiripie yɛ bɛyɛ nsateakwaa mmiɛnsa, na nʼano no ntrɛmu te sɛ bonsua, na na ɛte ɛsɛ sukooko nhwiren a apae. Na Ɛpo no tumi kora nsuo gyare mpem dunsia ne ahanum.
Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.
6 Ɔyɛɛ dwaresɛn edu a wɔkora nsuo a wɔde hohoro afɔrebɔdeɛ ho. Na emu enum wɔ Ɛpo no anafoɔ fam na enum wɔ atifi fam. Asɔfoɔ no deɛ, na Ɛpo no ankasa mu nsuo na na wɔde hohoro wɔn ho, na wɔmmfa dwaresɛn no mu nsuo no bi.
Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.
7 Salomo de sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ nkaneadua edu, sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ noɔ no, de sisii Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde emu enum sisi bɛnee anafoɔ fam fasuo, na wɔde emu enum a aka no nso sisi bɛnee atifi fam ɔfasuo no.
Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
8 Afei, ɔyɛɛ apono edu de sisii Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde emu enum sisii anafoɔ fam ɔfasuo no anim, na wɔde emu enum a aka no nso sisii atifi fam ɔfasuo no anim. Afei, ɔyɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dwaresɛn ɔha.
Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.
9 Salomo sii adihɔ maa asɔfoɔ no, sane sii adihɔ kɛseɛ bi wɔ Asɔredan no mfikyire. Ɔyɛɛ apono totoo adihɔ akwan no ano, na ɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ duraa ho.
Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
10 Wɔde Ɛpo no sii anafoɔ fam ne apueeɛ fam afasuo ahyiaeɛ no twɛtwɛwa so hɔ.
Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.
11 Huram-Abi yɛɛ nkukuo, nsofi ne dwaresɛn a ɛho hia nyinaa. Deɛ ɔhene Salomo kyerɛɛ Huram-Abi sɛ ɔnyɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho no nyinaa, ɔyɛeɛ.
Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,
12 Afadum mmienu, aduntire a wɔayɛ no sɛ asansuo mmienu a ɛsisi afadum no atifi, nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mmienu wɔde asiesie aduntire no,
that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,
13 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 also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.
14 Ɔyɛɛ nsuo nteaseɛnam a dwaresɛn no sisi so,
He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;
15 Ɛpo no ne anantwie sɛso dumienu a wɔhyɛ aseɛ,
one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
16 nkukuo, nsofi, ɛnam nnarewa ne nneɛma a ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Huram-Abi de kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔabere ho na ɛyɛɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa maa Awurade Asɔredan no, sɛdeɛ Ɔhene Salomo hyɛɛ no no.
and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.
17 Ɔhene ma wɔguu no kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan bɔnhwa a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no mu.
The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔde dii dwuma no dodoɔ enti, wɔantumi anhunu emu duru ano.
Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.
19 Na Salomo yɛɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu nyinaa: sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia; apono a wɔde Hyiadan mu Burodo no gu so;
And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;
20 kanea nnua ne nʼakanea a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a ɛbɛhyerɛn wɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron no anim sɛdeɛ wɔakyerɛ no;
and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;
21 nhwiren a wɔde siesie, nkanea ne afagya a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa na ɛyɛɛ no nyinaa;
and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
22 nkanea akapɛ, dwaresɛn, nyowaa ne nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu no nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa; apono a wɔtintim wɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron ne deɛ ɛkɔ Asɔredan no dan kɛseɛ mu no, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ na ɛduraa ho nyinaa.
Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
