2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzibah.
Ɛberɛ a Manase dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ dumienu, na ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum enum. Na ne maame din de Hefsiba.
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfoɔ aman nneyɛeɛ a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ. Ɔsuaa deɛ ɛnam so maa Awurade pamoo abosonsomfoɔ no firii asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
3 And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars to Baal and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsane sisii abosonsomfoɔ abosonnan a nʼagya Hesekia bubu guiɛ no. Ɔyɛɛ afɔrebukyia pii maa Baal, ɛnna ɔsii Asera dua, sɛdeɛ Israelhene Ahab yɛeɛ ara pɛ. Afei, ɔkoto sɔree ewiem atumfoɔ.
4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Na mpo, ɔsisii abosom afɔrebukyia pii wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu; baabi a Awurade aka sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne din animuonyam no.
5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
Ɔsisii saa afɔrebukyia no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adihɔ mmienu hɔ.
6 And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and used magic and divination, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Na mpo, Manase de ɔno ankasa babarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya mu. Na ɔyɛ abayisɛm, kɔ abisa. Ɔkɔɔ asamanfrɛfoɔ hɔ ne asumanfoɔ so. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree Awurade ani so, ma ɛhyɛɛ no abufuo.
7 And he set the graven image of the Asherah that he had made, in the house of which Jehovah had 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 put my name for ever;
Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no, de kɔsii asɔredan mu, beaeɛ korɔ no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo sɛ, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din animuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kuro a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 neither will I any more cause the foot of Israel to wander away from the land that I gave their fathers; if they will only take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
Na sɛ Israelfoɔ bɛtie mʼahyɛdeɛ a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asuo mfiri asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 But they would not hearken, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Nanso, nnipa no antie. Manase dii wɔn anim, ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree a ɛsene abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee no ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ kɔɔ saa asase no so no mpo.
10 And Jehovah spoke by his servants the prophets saying,
Awurade nam nʼasomfoɔ a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifoɔ so kaa sɛ,
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols;
“Yudahene Manase ayɛ akyiwadeɛ bebree. Na mpo, ɔyɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sene Amorifoɔ a wɔbɛtenaa asase yi so ansa na Israel reba no. Wadi Yudafoɔ anim, de wɔn akɔ ahonisom mu.
12 therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
Enti, sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: Mede ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bɛto Yerusalem ne Yuda so ama aso a ɛbɛte saa nsɛm no mu ayɛ no gyenn.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipeth a pan, wiping it and turning it upside down.
Mɛfa ɛkwan a menam so buu Samaria ne Ahab abusua atɛn no so mabu Yerusalem atɛn. Mɛpepa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, te sɛ deɛ obi hohoro ayowaa mu, na ɔdane butu no.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Na mpo, mɛpo me nkurɔfoɔ kakra a wɔaka no, na mede wɔn bɛma wɔn atamfoɔ sɛ asadeɛ.
15 because they have done evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt even to this day.
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔayɛ bɔne kɛseɛ wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuo, firi ɛberɛ a wɔn agyanom firii Misraim no.”
16 And Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to another; beside his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Manase kunkumm nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kɔsii sɛ, mogya a ɛdi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, firi tire kɔsi tire. Yei ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafoɔ no yɛ de wɔn kɔɔ bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no Awurade ani so no ho.
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Manase ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa ne bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Manase wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ahemfie no turo a na ɛyɛ Usa dea no mu. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Amon dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu mmienu. Ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Mesulemet a na ɔyɛ Harus a ɔfiri Yolba no babaa.
20 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done;
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Manase yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
21 and he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and worshipped them;
Ɔfaa nʼagya nhwɛsoɔ so, somm ahoni korɔ no ara a na nʼagya somm wɔn no.
22 and he forsook Jehovah the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of Jehovah.
Ɔgyaa Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn no na wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛfa Awurade akwan so.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
Na Amon no ankasa asomfoɔ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ, kumm no wɔ nʼahemfie.
24 But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kunkumm nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔ no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
25 And the rest of the acts of Amon, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Amon ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza; and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
Wɔsiee no wɔ ne boda a ɛwɔ Usa turo mu hɔ no mu. Na ne babarima Yosia dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
