2 Chronicles 8
1 And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,
Salomo dii ɔhene no, ne mfeɛ aduonu so na ɔwiee Awurade Asɔredan sie dwumadie kɛseɛ ne nʼankasa ahemfie no sie.
2 that, the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, —and caused, the sons of Israel, to dwell there.
Afei, Salomo de nʼadwene kɔɔ nkuro a ɔhene Huram de ama no no so. Ɔsiesiee nkuro no, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ no kɔtenatenaa mu.
3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, —and prevailed against it;
Saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu nso na Salomo ko tiaa kuro Hamat-Soba, dii so nkonim.
4 and he built Tadmor, in the wilderness, —and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath;
Ɔkyekyeree Tadmor bio wɔ ɛserɛ so, na ɔkyekyeree nkuro wɔ Hamat mantam mu a ɛhɔ na na wɔkora nneɛma.
5 and he built Beth-horon, the upper, and Beth-horon, the nether, —fortified cities, with walls, and doors and bars;
Ɔbɔɔ nkuropɔn a na ɛwɔ atifi Bet-Horon ne anafoɔ Bet-Horon ho ban. Ɔsane too wɔn afasuo no, de apono a wɔbram akyire totoo ano.
6 and Baalath, and all the store cities which pertained to Solomon, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, —and every delight of Solomon which he delighted to build in Jerusalem, and in the Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Saa ɛberɛ yi, ɔsane kyekyeree Baalat ne mmeammea a wɔkora nneɛma wɔ hɔ, sane kyekyeree nkuropɔn a wɔbɛkora ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔ wɔ hɔ. Ɔkyekyeree mmeammea bi wɔ Yerusalem ne Lebanon ne ahemman no nyinaa mu maa nʼakoma tɔɔ ne yam.
7 As for all the people that were left, of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not, of Israel; —
Ɛbɛsi saa ɛberɛ no, na nnipa bi tete asase no so a wɔnyɛ Israelfoɔ. Na saa nnipa no yɛ Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ.
8 of their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not utterly destroyed, Solomon enrolled them as tributary—unto this day.
Yeinom yɛ aman a Israel ntɔree wɔn ase korakora no asefoɔ. Ɛno enti, Salomo hyɛɛ wɔn maa wɔyɛɛ adwuma maa no. Na ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ, wɔsom sɛ apaafoɔ.
9 But, of the sons of Israel, were there none whom he delivered up as bondmen unto his work, —for, they, were men of war, and his captains and his heroes, and captains over his chariots, and his horsemen.
Nanso, Salomo anhyɛ Israelni biara amma wanyɛ adwuma sɛ ɔpaani. Mmom, ɔmaa ebinom kɔyɛɛ asraafoɔ, mpanimfoɔ wɔ nʼakodɔm mu ne ne nteaseɛnam ne nʼapɔnkɔkafoɔ so asahene.
10 These, moreover, were the chiefs of his officers whom King Solomon had, two hundred and fifty, —who wielded dominion over the people.
Ɔhene Salomo yii wɔn mu ahanu aduonum maa wɔkɔhwɛɛ ne nkɔsoɔnnwuma so.
11 And, the daughter of Pharaoh, Solomon brought up, out of the city of David, unto the house which he had built for her, —for he said, A wife of mine must not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for holy are those places whereinto the ark of Yahweh hath come.
Salomo yii ne yere a ɔyɛ Farao babaa firii Dawid kuro mu, de no kɔɔ ahemfie foforɔ a wasi ama no no mu. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ me yere tena Ɔhene Dawid ahemfie, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade Apam Adaka no si hɔ, enti ɛhɔ yɛ asase kronkron.”
12 Then, Solomon offered up ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh, —upon the altar of Yahweh, which he had built before the porch:
Na Salomo bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia a wasi wɔ Asɔredan no abankua no anim no so, maa Awurade.
13 even according to the duty of each a day upon [its own] day, offering up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed feasts, three times in the year, —in the festival of unleavened cakes and in the festival of weeks, and in the festival of booths;
Ɛda biara, na wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ Mose hyɛɛ wɔn no. Afahyɛ ahodoɔ a wɔdiiɛ no bi ne Homeda, Ɔbosome Foforɔ Ɛda, ne mfirinhyia mmiɛnsa biara afahyɛ no mu a, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ, Otwaberɛ Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ.
14 and he caused to stand, according to the regulation of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service and of the Levites over their charges, to offer praise and to minister before the priests, for the duty of each day upon its own day, and the gate-keepers in their courses, at every several gate, —for, such, was the commandment of David the man of God;
Salomo de asɔfoɔ no nnwuma rehyɛ wɔn nsa no, ɔfaa nʼagya Dawid akwankyerɛ so. Saa ara na ɔmaa Lewifoɔ no dii ɔmanfoɔ no anim too ayɛyie nnwom, na wɔboaa asɔfoɔ no wɔ wɔn daa daa nnwuma mu. Ɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ akuakuo no sisii wɔn apono ano sɛdeɛ Dawid, Onyankopɔn onipa no kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
15 neither departed they from the commandment of the king, concerning the priests and the Levites as to any duty, or as to the treasuries.
Salomo ankwae amfiri akwankyerɛ a Dawid maeɛ a ɛfa asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne sikakorabea ho no.
16 So all the work of Solomon was prepared, from the day of founding the house of Yahweh, even as far as the finishing thereof, —complete was the house of Yahweh.
Na Salomo hwɛɛ sɛ biribiara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no sie ho firi da a wɔtwaa ne fapem, kɔsi da a wɔde wiee sie no adi mu.
17 Then, went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and unto Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom.
Akyire no, Salomo kɔɔ Esion-Geber ne Elot a ɛyɛ ahyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Edom asase a ɛda Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ mpoano hɔ.
18 And Huram sent him—by the hand of his servants—ships, and servants skilled in the sea, and they came, with the servants of Solomon, towards Ophir, and took from thence, four hundred and fifty talents of gold, —and brought unto King Solomon.
Huram brɛɛ no ahyɛn a ɔno ankasa mpanimfoɔ hwɛ so, na emu adwumayɛfoɔ yɛ wɔn a wɔnim adwuma yie. Salomo nkurɔfoɔ ne saa ahyɛn yi kɔɔ Ofir asase so, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a na ɛkari bɛyɛ tɔno 17 brɛɛ Salomo.
