Kings IV 21
1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
Bere a Manase dii hene no, na wadi mfe dumien, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonum anum. Na ne na din de Hefsibah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfo aman nneyɛe a ɛyɛ akyiwade a Awurade apam afi asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
3 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsan sisii abosonsomfo abosonnan a nʼagya Hesekia bubu gui no. Ɔyɛɛ afɔremuka pii maa Baal, na osii Asera dua, sɛnea Israelhene Ahab yɛe ara pɛ. Afei, ɔkotow sɔree wim atumfo.
4 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
Na mpo, osisii abosom afɔremuka pii wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu; baabi a Awurade aka sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne din anuonyam no.
5 And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Osisii saa afɔremuka no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adiwo abien hɔ, de maa wim nsoromma no.
6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Na mpo, Manase de ɔno ankasa babarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya mu. Na ɔyɛ abayisɛm, kɔ abisa. Ɔkɔɔ samanfrɛfo hɔ ne asumanfo so. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree Awurade ani so, ma ɛhyɛɛ no abufuw.
7 And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I even place my name for ever.
Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no de kosii asɔredan mu, beae koro no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo se, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din anuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kurow a mayi afi Israel mmusuakuw a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
Na sɛ Israelfo betie mʼahyɛde a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asu mfi asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 But they hearkened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Nanso nnipa no antie. Manase dii wɔn anim ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree a ɛsen abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee no bere a Israelfo kɔɔ saa asase no so no mpo.
10 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
Awurade nam nʼasomfo a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifo so kae se,
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
“Yudahene Manase ayɛ akyiwade bebree. Na mpo, ɔyɛ omumɔyɛfo sen Amorifo a wɔbɛtenaa asase yi so ansa na Israel reba no. Wadi Yudafo anim de wɔn akɔ ahonisom mu.
12 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
Enti sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Mede ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bɛto Yerusalem ne Yuda so ama aso a ɛbɛte saa nsɛm no mu ayɛ no yonn.
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
Mɛfa ɔkwan a menam so buu Samaria ne Ahab abusua atɛn no so abu Yerusalem atɛn. Mɛpepa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, te sɛnea obi hohoro asanka mu, na ɔdan butuw no.
14 And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
Na mpo, mɛpo me nkurɔfo kakra a wɔaka no, na mede wɔn bɛma wɔn atamfo sɛ asade.
15 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
Efisɛ wɔayɛ bɔne kɛse wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuw, fi bere a wɔn agyanom fii Misraim no.”
16 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Manase kunkum nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kosii sɛ, mogya a edi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, fi ti kosi ti. Eyi ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafo no yɛ de wɔn kɔɔ bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no Awurade ani so no ho.
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Manase ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa ne bɔne a ɔyɛe no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
Manase wui no, wosiee no wɔ ahemfi no turo a na ɛyɛ Usa dea no mu. Na ne babarima Amon na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
19 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
Amon dii hene no, na wadi mfe aduonu abien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe abien. Na wɔfrɛ ne na Mesulemet a na ɔyɛ Harus a ofi Yolba no babea.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya Manase yɛe no ara pɛ.
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
Ɔfaa nʼagya nhwɛso so, som ahoni koro no ara a na nʼagya som wɔn no.
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Ogyaw Awurade, nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn no na wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛfa Awurade akwan so.
23 And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and slew the king in his house.
Na Amon no ankasa asomfo bɔɔ ne ho pɔw, kum no wɔ nʼahemfi.
24 And the people of the land slew all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kunkum nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔw no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii ade sɛ ɔhene.
25 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Amon ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
26 And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
Wosiee no wɔ ne boda a ɛwɔ Usa turo mu hɔ no mu. Na ne babarima Yosia dii ade sɛ ɔhene.
