2 Kings 8
1 And Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Rise up and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for Jehovah has called for a famine, and it shall also come upon the land for seven years.
Na Elisa aka akyerɛ ɔbea a onyan ne ba no se, “Wo ne wo fifo ntu nkɔ baabi foforo, efisɛ Awurade ahyɛ sɛ ɔkɔm mmra Israel mfe ason.”
2 And the woman rose up, and did according to the saying of the man of God, and went, she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Enti ɔbea no yɛɛ sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛe no. Ɔfaa ne fifo kɔtenaa Filistifo asase so mfe ason.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
Ɔkɔm no twaa mu no, ɔsan baa Israel asase so, kohuu ɔhene no sɛ ɔregye ne fi ne nʼasase.
4 And the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha has done.
Na ɔhene no ne Gehasi a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no somfo rekasa. Na ɔhene no rebisa se: Ka nneɛma akɛse a Elisa ayɛ no bi kyerɛ me.
5 And it came to pass as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
Saa bere no ara na na Gehasi reka nyan a Elisa nyan abarimaa bi no ho asɛm akyerɛ no. Bere koro no ara mu na abarimaa no na kɔɔ ɔhene no anim, kɔsrɛɛ ɔhene no se ɔmfa ne fi ne ne dan mma no no. Gehasi teɛɛ mu se, “Hwɛ, me wura! Ɔbea no ni na, na ne babarima a Elisa nyan no no nso ni!”
6 And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed a certain chamberlain, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the revenue of the land since the day that she left the country even until now.
Ɔhene no bisaa ɔbea no se, “Ɛyɛ nokware ana?” Ɔbea no buae se ɛyɛ ampa. Enti ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu baako se ɔnhwɛ na biribiara a wahwere no, wɔmfa mma no. Ne nnɔbae a wotwae a na onni hɔ nyinaa, wɔde maa no.
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him saying, The man of God is come hither.
Na Elisa kɔɔ Damasko a ɛyɛ Aram kuropɔn no mu a na ɔhene Ben-Hadad yare da no. Obi ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Onyankopɔn nipa no aba hɔ,”
8 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
na ɔka kyerɛɛ Hasael se, “Fa akyɛde kɔma Onyankopɔn nipa no. Na ka kyerɛ no, na ommisa Awurade se, ‘Me ho bɛtɔ me bio ana?’”
9 And Hazael went to meet him, and took with him a present, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden; and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
Na Hasael hyehyɛɛ yoma aduanan so nnepa a efi Damasko, sɛ akyɛde a ɔde rekɔma Elisa. Ɔkɔɔ ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo somfo Ben-Hadad a ɔyɛ Aramhene asoma me wo nkyɛn se mimmebisa se, ‘Menya ahotɔ ana?’”
10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly die.
Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Wubenya ahotɔ.’ Nanso Awurade ada no adi akyerɛ me sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, obewu.”
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.
Elisa hwɛɛ Hasael anim, kosii sɛ Hasael yɛɛ basaa. Na Onyankopɔn nipa no fii ase sui.
12 And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou kill with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child.
Hasael bisae se, “Adɛn na me wura resu?” Elisa buae se, “Efisɛ minim bɔne a wobɛyɛ Israelfo. Wobɛhyew wɔn nkurow a wɔabobɔ ho ban, akunkum wɔn mmerante, de wɔn mma nketewa adwiradwira fam, apaapae apemfo yafunu!”
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Jehovah has shewn me that thou wilt be king over Syria.
Na Hasael buae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na me a mensɛ hwee yi, betumi adi dwuma kɛse a ɛte sɛɛ yi?” Elisa buae se, “Awurade akyerɛ me se, wo na wobɛyɛ Aramhene.”
14 And he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to thee? And he said, He told me [that] thou wouldest certainly recover.
Bere a Hasael san kɔe no, ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ wo?” Hasael buae se, “Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, wo ho bɛyɛ wo den.”
15 And it came to pass the next day, that he took the coverlet and dipped [it] in water, and spread it over his face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.
Nanso ade kyee no, Hasael faa ntama a mu yɛ duru, de nuu nsu mu, de kataa ɔhene no anim, kosii sɛ owui. Na Hasael sii nʼanan mu sɛ Aramhene.
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign.
Ɔhene Yehosafat babarima Yehoram bedii Yuda so bere a ɔhene Yoram adi ade wɔ Israel mfe anum. Na Yoram yɛ Ahab babarima.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Bere a Yehoram dii hene no, na wadi mfe aduasa abien. Odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia awotwe.
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Nanso Yehoram dii Israel ahemfo anammɔn akyi. Na ɔyɛ omumɔyɛfo te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, efisɛ na waware Ahab mmabea no mu baako. Na Yehoram yɛɛ nea na ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
19 But Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him to give him always a lamp for his sons.
Nanso na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda, efisɛ na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam, ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefo na wɔbɛkɔ so adi ɔman no so afebɔɔ.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
Yehoram bere so na Edomfo sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wosii wɔn ankasa wɔn hene.
21 And Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled into their tents.
Enti Yehoram faa ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa, kɔtow hyɛɛ Sair kurow so. Edomfo twaa ɔne ne nteaseɛnamkafo ho hyiae, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum no mu guanee. Yehoram asraafo nso guanee.
22 But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
Edom atew Yuda so atua de besi nnɛ. Saa bere no ara mu na Libna kurow nso sɔre tiae.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Nsɛm a esisii wɔ Yehoram ahenni mu ne nea ɔyɛe nyinaa no wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Bere a Yehoram wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Ahasia na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
Yehoram babarima Ahasia fii ase dii hene wɔ Yuda wɔ ɔhene Yoram adedi wɔ Israel ne mfe dumien mu no mu. Na Ahab babarima ne ɔhene Yoram no.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
Bere a Ahasia dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu abien, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem afe. Ne na ne Atalia a na ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nena.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
Ahasia dii amumɔyɛsɛm, dii bɔne a ɔhene Ahab fifo yɛe no anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ amumɔyɛsɛm wɔ Awurade ani so, efisɛ wɔbɔɔ ne din bataa aware a ɔkɔwaree Ahabfini no ho.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ Israelhene Yoram ho wɔ ne ko a ɔko tiaa Aramhene Hasael wɔ Ramot-Gilead no.
29 And king Joram returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab at Jizreel, for he was sick.
Bere a wopiraa ɔhene Yoram wɔ ɔko no mu no, ɔsan baa Yesreel sɛ ɔrebɛsa nʼapirakuru no. Bere a Yoram wɔ hɔ no, Yudahene Ahasia kɔsraa no.
