2 Berɛsosɛm 5
1 Ɛberɛ a Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no sie ho dwumadie no, ɔde akyɛdeɛ a nʼagya, Ɔhene Dawid, de maa Awurade, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne nneɛma a aka no baeɛ. Wɔkoraa yeinom nyinaa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no sikakorabea mu.
And so was ended all the work which Solomon made for the house of the Lord; and Solomon brought in the things sanctified by David his father; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he placed in the treasuries of the house of God.
2 Afei, Salomo frɛɛ mmusuakuo ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa sɛ wɔmmɛhyia Yerusalem. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi Awurade Apam Adaka no firi baabi a ɛsi wɔ Dawid kuro a na wɔsane frɛ hɔ Sion no, de kɔ beaeɛ foforɔ wɔ Asɔredan no mu hɔ.
Then did Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the divisions of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3 Bosome Bul (bɛyɛ Ahinime) a wɔredi afirinhyia Asese Afahyɛ no, wɔn nyinaa bɛhyiaa ɔhene anim.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast which is [in] the seventh month.
4 Ɛberɛ a mpanimfoɔ no bɛduruu Israel no, Lewifoɔ no pagyaa Adaka no
All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5 ne ntomadan sononko ne ɛho nneɛma kronkron no nyinaa. Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ no soa kɔɔ Asɔredan no mu.
And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle: these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
6 Ɔhene Salomo ne Israel manfoɔ no nyinaa de nnwan ne anantwie a wɔn dodoɔ nni ano bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Adaka no anim.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered nor told for multitude.
7 Afei, asɔfoɔ no maa Awurade Apam Adaka no so, de kɔɔ Asɔredan no kronkronbea a ɛhɔ yɛ Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ, de kɔhyɛɛ Kerubim no ntaban ase.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto its place, into the debir of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Kerubim no trɛɛ wɔn ntaban mu wɔ Adaka no so, ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ kyiniiɛ wɔ Adaka no ne ne nnua a ɛsosɔ mu no so.
And the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above.
9 Na nnua no woware yie; enti sɛ obi gyina Asɔredan no ano kwan ano a ɔhunu. Ne nyinaa da so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
And they had made the staves so long that the ends of the staves were seen [standing out] from the ark in the front of the debir; but they were not seen without; and they have remained there until this day.
10 Na biribiara nni adaka no mu sɛ aboɔ apono mmienu a Mose de guu mu wɔ Horeb wɔ ɛberɛ a Awurade ne Israelfoɔ a na wɔatu afiri Misraim no yɛɛ apam no.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses had placed [therein] at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 Afei, asɔfoɔ no firii kronkronbea hɔ. Saa ɛberɛ yi, na asɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa, sɛ wɔwɔ dwuma bi die anaa wɔnni hwee yɛ, adwira wɔn ho.
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place; for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, the divisions not having been observed; —
12 Lewifoɔ nnwomtofoɔ, Asaf, Heman, Yedutun, wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn nuanom nyinaa hyehyɛɛ nwera mmatakari gyinagyinaa afɔrebukyia no apueeɛ fam, na wɔbɔɔ kyankyan, mmɛnta ne nsankuten. Asɔfoɔ ɔha aduonu a wɔrehyɛn totorobɛnto bɛkaa wɔn ho.
And the Levites the singers, all together, of Assaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east side of the altar, and with them were one hundred and twenty priests blowing on trumpets; —
13 Ntotorobɛntohyɛnfoɔ ne nnwomtofoɔ no nyinaa bɔɔ mu too dwom de kamfoo Awurade, daa no ase. Wɔde ntotorobɛnto, kyankyan ne nnwontodeɛ ahodoɔ bɛkaa wɔn ho, maa wɔn nne so, kamfoo Awurade sɛ: “Ɔyɛ! Na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!” Saa ɛberɛ no mu ara, omununkum bɛhyɛɛ Awurade asɔredan no ma.
And it came thus to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice [accompanied] with trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and in praising the Lord, For he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness: that the house, even the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud;
14 Asɔfoɔ no antumi antoa wɔn adwuma no so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade animuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ma.
And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
