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.
Moreover he made an altar of bronze; its length was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits. Its height was ten cubits.
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.
He also made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference.
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.
Under the brim encircling the sea were bulls, ten to each cubit, cast in one piece with the sea when the sea itself was cast.
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.
The large basin known as “The Sea” was set upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
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.
“The Sea” was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. “The Sea” held three thousand baths of water.
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 basins for washing things; he put five on the south side, and five on the north; items used in performing the burnt offering were to be washed in them. The large basin known as “The Sea” was used by the priests for them to wash.
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.
He made the ten lampstands of gold that were made from the instructions for their design; he placed 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.
He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins 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.
Furthermore he made the courtyard of the priests, and the great court and the doors for the court and overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 Wɔde Ɛpo no sii anafoɔ fam ne apueeɛ fam afasuo ahyiaeɛ no twɛtwɛwa so hɔ.
He placed the basin known as “The Sea” on the east side of the temple, facing 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.
Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon 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,
the two pillars, the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on top of the pillars.
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).
He had made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework: two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars.
14 Ɔyɛɛ nsuo nteaseɛnam a dwaresɛn no sisi so,
He also made the stands and the basins to go on the stands;
15 Ɛpo no ne anantwie sɛso dumienu a wɔhyɛ aseɛ,
one sea and the twelve bulls under it,
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.
also the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other implements that Huram-Abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh.
17 Ɔhene ma wɔguu no kankua a na ɛwɔ Yordan bɔnhwa a na ɛwɔ Sukot ne Saretan ntam no mu.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
18 Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔde dii dwuma no dodoɔ enti, wɔantumi anhunu emu duru ano.
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; indeed, the weight of the bronze could not be 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;
Solomon made all the furnishings that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
20 kanea nnua ne nʼakanea a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a ɛbɛhyerɛn wɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron no anim sɛdeɛ wɔakyerɛ no;
the lampstands with their lamps, that were designed to burn before the inner room—these were made of pure gold;
21 nhwiren a wɔde siesie, nkanea ne afagya a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa na ɛyɛɛ no nyinaa;
and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, pure 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 lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners were all made of pure gold. As for the entrance into the house, its inner doors into the most holy place and the doors of the house, that is, of the temple, were made of gold.
