2 Chronicles 22
1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
Afei, ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no sii Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia ɔhene a ɔdi hɔ. Na Arabfoɔ afomfafoɔ akuo akunkum mmammarima mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa. Ɛno enti, Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yuda.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
Ahasia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmienu, na ɔdii ɔhene afe wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame a ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nana no din de Atalia.
3 But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
Ahasia nso yɛɛ ɔhene Ahab abusua bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ no bi, ɛfiri sɛ, ne maame hyɛɛ no nkuran wɔ bɔneyɛ mu.
4 And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so sɛdeɛ Ahab yɛeɛ no. Nʼagya wuo akyi no, Ahab abusuafoɔ na wɔbɛyɛɛ nʼafotufoɔ. Wɔn na wɔde no kɔɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu.
5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
Esiane wɔn afotubɔne enti, Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ ɔhene Yoram a ɔyɛ Israelhene Ahab babarima ho. Wɔtuu Aramhene Hasael so sa wɔ Ramot-Gilead. Ɔko no mu, Aramfoɔ no piraa Yoram.
6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
Yoram sane kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsaa nʼapirakuro no, na Yudahene Ahasia kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsraa no.
7 Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
Na yei danee mfomsoɔ kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ, ɔbɛtwe Ahasia aso. Saa nsrahwɛ yi mu na Ahasia ne Yoram kɔhyiaa Nimsi babarima Yehu, a na Awurade ayi no sɛ ɔntwa Ahab fie adedie ntoatoasoɔ no so.
8 Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
Ɛberɛ a Yehu rebu atɛn atia Ahab fie no, ɔhyiaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ ne Ahasia abusuafoɔ bi a na wɔresom Ahasia. Enti, Yehu kunkumm wɔn nyinaa.
9 Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
Afei, Yehu mmarima hwehwɛɛ Ahasia, na wɔkɔhunuu no sɛ wakɔtɛ Samaria kuropɔn no mu. Wɔde no brɛɛ Yehu, na ɔkumm no. Wɔsiee Ahasia maa ɛyɛɛ fɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa dii ne ho adanseɛ sɛ, “Ɔyɛ Yehosafat a ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ Awurade no nana.” Ahasia abusua mu nnipa a wɔkaa akyire no mu biara amfata sɛ ɔdi ahennie no so.
10 For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
Ɛberɛ a Yudahene Ahasia ne maame Atalia tee sɛ ne babarima no awuo no, ɔkekaa ne ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda adehyeɛ abusua no.
11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
Nanso, Ahasia nuabaa Yehoseba, a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Yehoram babaa, faa Ahasia babarima abadomaa Yoas firii ɔhene no mma a aka a wɔrebɛkum wɔn no mu. Ɔde Yoas ne onipa a ɔhwɛ no no kɔsiee pia bi mu. Yei ne ɛkwan a ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada yere Yehoseba faa so de abɔfra no sieeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na Atalia nnya no nkum no.
12 Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Yoas hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu hɔ mfeɛ nsia wɔ ɛberɛ a na Atalia di ɔman no so no.
