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.
He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.
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.
Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
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.
And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were with two rows.
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 oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder parts of the oxen were inward 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 the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped 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.
He made also ten lavers: and he see five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they mere to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
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.
And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, 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 also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold.
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.
He made also 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.
And he set the sea on the right side over against 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.
And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king’s work 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 to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.
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 four hundred pomegranates, and two wreaths of network, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each wreath, to cover the pommels, and the chapiters of the pillars.
14 Ɔyɛɛ nsuo nteaseɛnam a dwaresɛn no sisi so,
He made also bases, and lavers, which he set 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 the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass.
17 Ɔhene ma wɔguu no kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan bɔnhwa a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no mu.
In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.
18 Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔde dii dwuma no dodoɔ enti, wɔantumi anhunu emu duru ano.
And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.
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 golden altar, and the tables, upon which were the leaves of proposition,
20 kanea nnua ne nʼakanea a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a ɛbɛhyerɛn wɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron no anim sɛdeɛ wɔakyerɛ no;
The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.
21 nhwiren a wɔde siesie, nkanea ne afagya a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa na ɛyɛɛ no nyinaa;
And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest 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.
The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
