2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Afei, ɛberɛ a afahyɛ no twaam no, Israelfoɔ a wɔkɔɔ bi no kɔɔ Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase nkuro nyinaa so, kɔsɛee afadum kronkron no, twitwaa Asera afɔrebukyia no, yiyii abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ ne afɔrebukyia no. Yei akyi, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn nkuro so ne wɔn afie mu.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of Jehovah.
Afei, Hesekia kyekyɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no mu akuakuo, sɛ wɔmmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ, sɛ wɔnsom, na wɔmfa aseda ne nkamfo mma Awurade wɔ Asɔredan no apono ano.
3 Also he appointed the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
Ɔhene no ankasa maa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔyɛ mmoa ma anɔpa ne anwummerɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne nnawɔtwe homeda afahyɛ ne bosome Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ no ne afirinhyia afɔdeɛ a aka no, sɛdeɛ Awurade mmara kyerɛ no.
4 Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of Jehovah.
Ɛno akyi, ɔhwɛɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no de deɛ wɔnya mu kyɛfa a mmara no ka no bɛma asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔde wɔn ho nyinaa ahyɛ Awurade mmara no mu.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the sons of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field. And they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.
Nnipa no tiee no aso pa mu, na wɔfiri akoma pa mu de nnɔbaeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɛyɛ atokoɔ, nsã foforɔ, ngo, ɛwoɔ ne wɔn mfudeɛ nyinaa baeɛ. Wɔde wɔn ahodeɛ biara mu ntotosoɔ dudu baeɛ.
6 And the sons of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.
Nnipa a wɔtu firii Israel baa Yuda no ne Yudafoɔ no ankasa de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn nnwan so ntotosoɔ dudu ne nneɛma a wɔahyira so ama Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn no so ntotosoɔ dudu baeɛ. Wɔboaa ano ma ɛyɛɛ akuakuo akɛseakɛseɛ.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Wɔde saa ntotosoɔ dudu a ɛdi ɛkan no baa bosome a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no awieeɛ mu, na nneɛma no anoboa kɔɔ so kɔsii bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ahyɛaseɛ mu.
8 And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia ne ne mpanimfoɔ bɛhunuu nneɛma dodoɔ no, wɔdaa Awurade ne ne nkurɔfoɔ Israel ase.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Hesekia bisaa asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛhe na yeinom nyinaa firi baeɛ?”
10 And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since they began to bring the oblations into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left. For Jehovah has blessed his people, and that which is left is this great store.
Na ɔsɔfopanin Asaria a ɔfiri Sadok abusua mu buaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔmanfoɔ firii aseɛ sɛ wɔde akyɛdeɛ reba Awurade Asɔredan mu no, yɛanya bebree a yɛbɛdi ama ebi aka, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyira ne nkurɔfoɔ.”
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah, and they prepared them.
Hesekia yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛnya adekoradan wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu, na wɔyɛeɛ.
12 And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully. And Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.
Na wɔdii nokorɛ de akyɛdeɛ no ne ntotosoɔ dudu no nyinaa baa Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde hyɛɛ Lewini Kenania nsa maa ne nua Simei yɛɛ ne ɔboafoɔ.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
Sohwɛfoɔ a na wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no ne Yehiel, Asasia, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimot, Yosabad, Eliel, Ismakia, Mahat ne Benaia. Ɔhene Hesekia ne Asaria a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu sohwɛfoɔ panin no na wɔkyekyɛɛ saa dibea ahodoɔ yi.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of Jehovah, and the most holy things.
Lewini Yimna babarima Kore a ɔyɛ Apueeɛ Ɛpono ano hwɛfoɔ no na wɔde hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛ, ɔnkyekyɛ Onyankopɔn ayamyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ ne nneɛma a wɔde ama Awurade no.
15 And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small,
Nʼaboafoɔ nokwafoɔ no ne Eden, Miniamin, Yesua, Semaia, Amaria ne Sekania. Na wɔkyekyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfoɔ mmusua a wɔwɔ wɔn nkuro so sɛdeɛ wɔn nkyekyɛmu teɛ, na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa mmɔfra ne mpanin.
16 besides those who were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone that entered into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions,
Na wɔkyɛɛ mmarimaa a wɔadi mfeɛ mmiɛnsa rekɔ nyinaa akyɛdeɛ no bi a wɔn din wɔ wɔn abusuadua nwoma mu, a nso da biara wɔkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, kɔyɛ wɔn nnwuma a wɔde ahyɛ wɔn ekuo no nsa.
17 and those who were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions,
Na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn abusuadua nwoma mu ne Lewifoɔ a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne deɛ ɛboro saa, a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn din sɛdeɛ wɔn nnwuma ne wɔn nkyekyɛmu teɛ.
18 and those who were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation. For in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.
Na wɔmaa mmusuafoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ abusuadua nwoma mu a mmadoma, ɔyerenom ne mmammarima ne mmammaa nso ka ho nnuane, sɛ wɔn kyɛfa. Ɛfiri sɛ na wɔadi nokorɛ adwira wɔn ho.
19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
Na asɔfoɔ, Aaron asefoɔ a na wɔtete nkuraa a atwa nkuro no ho ahyia no, wɔyiyii nnipa ma wɔkyɛɛ ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfoɔ no mu ne Lewifoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ abusuadua mu no nneɛma no bi.
20 And thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah. And he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before Jehovah his God.
Saa ɛkwan yi so na Hesekia fa kyɛɛ nneɛma wɔ Yudaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛfata na ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn ani.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
Deɛ Hesekia yɛeɛ nyinaa de som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, ne mmɔden a ɔbɔɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so no, ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ ne Onyankopɔn. Ne saa enti, ɛmaa ɔnyaa nkɔsoɔ bebree.
