2 Kings 15
1 In the twenty-seventh year of the rule of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah.
Ɛberɛ a Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu di adeɛ wɔ Israel no, ne mfeɛ aduonu nson so na Amasia babarima Asaria hyɛɛ aseɛ dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda.
2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
Ɔbɛdii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ dunsia. Na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum mmienu. Na ne maame din de Yekolia a ɔfiri Yerusalem.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
Na ɔtene wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Amasia teɛ no.
4 But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
Wammubu abosonnan no enti, na ne nkurɔfoɔ no kɔ hɔ kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, hye nnuhwam.
5 And the Lord sent disease on the king and he became a leper, and to the day of his death he was living separately in his private house. And Jotham his son was over his house, judging the people of the land.
Awurade maa kwata yɛɛ ɔhene no, kɔsii da a ɔwuiɛ. Ne saa enti, na ɔno nko te efie bi mu. Yotam a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no babarima na ɔhwɛɛ ahemfie no so, na ɔdii nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so so.
6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Na Asaria adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
7 And Azariah went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Jotham his son became king in his place.
Asaria wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuro mu. Na ne babarima Yotam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azaliah, king of Judah, Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, was king over Israel for six months.
Yudahene Asaria dii adeɛ ne mfeɛ aduasa nwɔtwe mu no na Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu babarima Sakaria nso dii adeɛ Israel wɔ Samaria. Ɔdii adeɛ abosome nsia.
9 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagyanom yɛeɛ no. Wamfiri ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam maa Israelfoɔ someeɛ no ho.
10 And Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made a secret design against him, and, attacking him in Ibleam, put him to death and became king in his place.
Na Yabes babarima Salum bɔɔ pɔ, de tiaa Sakaria, kumm no wɔ badwam, dii akonnwa no.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
Sakaria dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nkaeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
12 This was what the Lord had said to Jehu, Your sons to the fourth generation will be kings of Israel. And so it came about.
Enti, Awurade asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ, Yehu sɛ, “Wʼasefoɔ na wɔbɛyɛ Israel ahemfo akɔsi awontoatoasoɔ a ɛtɔ so ɛnan” mu no, baa mu.
13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah, king of Judah; and he was ruling in Samaria for the space of one month.
Yabes babarima Salum bɛdii Israel so ɔhene no, na ɛyɛ Yudahene Usia adedie mfeɛ aduasa nkron mu. Salum dii adeɛ Samaria bosome baako pɛ.
14 Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah and came to Samaria, and attacking Shallum, son of Jabesh, in Samaria, put him to death and made himself king in his place.
Afei, Gadi babarima Menahem firii Tirsa kɔɔ Samaria. Ɔkɔto hyɛɛ Yabes babarima Salum so kumm no, na ɔtenaa akonnwa no so.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the secret design which he made, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
Salum ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne pɔ a ɔbɔeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
16 Then Menahem sent destruction on Tappuah and all the people in it, and its limits, from Tirzah, because they would not let him come in; and he had all the women who were with child cut open.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Menahem firii Tirsa kɔtoaa Tifsa ne obiara a ɔwɔ hɔ ne ne nkurotoɔ nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔfoɔ no ampene so sɛ wɔde kuro no bɛma. Ɔkunkumm kuro no mu nnipa nyinaa, paapae emu apemfoɔ nyinaa yafunu mu.
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became king over Israel, and was ruling in Samaria for ten years.
Gadi babarima Menahem hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israelhene ɛberɛ a na Usia adi adeɛ Yuda ne mfeɛ aduasa nkron so. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Samaria mfirinhyia edu.
18 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
Nanso, Menahem yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Nʼahennie mu nyinaa, wannyae bɔne a ɛyɛ ahonisom no a na Nebat babarima Yeroboam adi Israelfoɔ anim de wɔn asom no.
19 In his day, Pul, the king of Assyria, came up against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that he might let him keep the kingdom.
Afei, Asiriahene Pul bɛdii asase no so. Na Menahem tuaa dwetɛ nkariboɔ tɔno aduasa nson no sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtaa nʼakyi ama nʼahennie no atim.
20 And Menahem got the money from Israel, from all the men of wealth, fifty silver shekels from every man, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria went back without stopping in the land.
Menahem nam apoobɔ so gyegyee Israel asikafoɔ no mu biara nkyɛn dwetɛ gram ahanum aduɔson sɛ akwabrantoɔ. Ɛno enti, Asiriahene ankɔto anhyɛ Israel so, na wantena asase no so nso.
21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Na Menahem adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
22 And Menahem went to rest with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son became king in his place.
Ɛberɛ a Menahem wuiɛ no, ne babarima Pekahia na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah, the son of Menahem, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for two years.
Menahem babarima Pekahia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israelhene wɔ Yudahene Usia ahennie ne mfeɛ aduonum so. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Samaria mfeɛ mmienu.
24 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
Nanso, Pekahia yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfiri ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israelfoɔ anim, ma wɔsomeeɛ no ho.
25 And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, his captain, made a secret design against him, attacking him in the king's great house in Samaria; and with him were fifty men of Gilead; and he put him to death and became king in his place.
Na Remalia babarima Peka a na ɔyɛ Pekahia asraadɔm sahene no bɔɔ pɔ tiaa no. Ɔfaa mmarima aduonum firii Gilead, kaa ne ho, kɔkumm ɔhene no ne Argob ne Arie wɔ Samaria ahemfie abankɛsewa mu. Peka na afei ɔbɛdii ɔhene wɔ Israel.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all he did, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
Pekahia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for twenty years.
Remalia babarima Peka bɛdii ɔhene Israel wɔ ɛberɛ a na Usia adi ɔhene wɔ Yuda mfeɛ aduonum mmienu. Ɔdii adeɛ Samaria mfirinhyia aduonu.
28 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
Nanso, Peka yɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfiri ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israel anim, ma wɔsomeeɛ no ho.
29 In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came and took Ijon and Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee and all the land of Naphtali; and he took the people away to Assyria.
Peka ahennie so no, Asiriahene Tiglat-Pileser kɔtuaa Israelfoɔ bio, faa nkuro Iyon ne Abel-Bet-Maaka ne Yanoa ne Kedes ne Hasor ne Gilead ne Galilea ne Naftali nsase nyinaa. Na ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum kɔɔ Asiria.
30 And Hoshea, the son of Elah, made a secret design against Pekah, the son of Remaliah, and, attacking him, put him to death and became king in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.
Na Ela babarima Hosea bɔɔ pɔ tiaa Peka, na ɔkumm no. Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israel so ɔhene ɛberɛ a na Usia babarima Yotam nso adi adeɛ mfeɛ aduonu wɔ Yuda.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all he did, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
Peka adedie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
32 In the second year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, Jotham, the son of Uzziah, became king of Judah.
Usia babarima Yotam dii ɔhene wɔ Yuda ɛberɛ a na ɔhene Peka adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfirinhyia mmienu.
33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
Ɔdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii Yerusalem so ɔhene mfeɛ dunsia. Na ne maame a ɔyɛ Sadok babaa no din de Yerusa.
34 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done.
Yotam yɛɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Usia yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
35 But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places. He was the builder of the higher doorway of the house of the Lord.
Nanso, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa no bɔ afɔdeɛ hye nnuhwam wɔ hɔ no. Ɔno ne obi a ɔsane sii Awurade Asɔredan no atifi ɛpono.
36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Yotam ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne deɛ ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
37 In those days the Lord first sent against Judah, Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah.
Saa mmerɛ no mu, Awurade hyɛɛ aseɛ somaa Aramhene Resin ne Israelhene Peka, sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yuda so.
38 And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
Ɛberɛ a Yotam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuro mu. Na ne babarima Ahas bɛdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
