2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.
Bere a Yoas babarima Amasia fii ase dii ade wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi ade wɔ Israel mfe abien.
2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
Amasia dii ade no, na wadi mfe aduonu anum, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfe aduonu akron. Na wɔfrɛ ne na se Yehoadin a ofi Yerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father did:
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto nea nʼagya Dawid yɛe. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛso so.
4 But this only, that he took not away the high places: for yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Nanso, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.
5 And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king his father:
Bere a Amasia tim wɔ nʼahenni mu yiye no, okunkum mmarima a wokum nʼagya a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no.
6 But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sins.
Nanso wɔn a wokunkum wɔn no mma de, wankum wɔn, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose Mmara Nhoma no mu no, ne sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ: Wonnkunkum agyanom, wɔn mma bɔne nti; na wonnkunkum mma, agyanom bɔne nti. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara wu wɔ ne bɔne ho.
7 He slew of Edom in the valley of the Saltpits ten thousand men, and took the rock by war, and called the name thereof Jectehel, unto this day.
Amasia na okunkum Edomfo mpem du wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu no. Ɔno ara nso na odii Sela so nkonim, na ɔtoo hɔ din Yokteel, din a wɔde frɛ hɔ de besi nnɛ no.
8 Then Amasias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, saying: Come let us see one another.
Da bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nena anim se, “Behyia me ma yɛnko.”
9 And Joas king of Israel sent again to Amasias king of Juda, saying: A thistle of Libanus sent to a cedar tree, which is in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And the beasts of the forest, that are in Libanus, passed and trod down the thistle.
Na Israelhene Yoas buaa Yudahene Amasia se, “Nsɔe a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔw so somaa abɔfo kɔɔ dutan sida nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Fa wo babea ma me babarima aware.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi fi wuram betiatiaa nsɔe no so sɛee no.
10 Thou hast beaten and prevailed over Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: be content with the glory, and sit at home: why provokest thou evil, that thou shouldst fall, and Juda with thee?
Nokware, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdi no, na tena wo fi. Adɛn nti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafo nyinaa so yi?”
11 But Amasias did not rest satisfied. So Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amasias king of Juda saw one another in Bethsames a town in Juda.
Na Amasia antie nti, Israelhene Yoas boaboaa nʼakofo ano ne no kɔkoe. Asraafo dɔm abien no hyiaa mu koe wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
12 And Juda was put to the worst before Israel, and they fled every man to their dwellings.
Israel asraafo dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda asraafo no bɔ hwetee, guan kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
13 But Joas king of Israel took Amasias, king of Juda the son of Joas, the son of Ochozias, in Bethsames, and brought him into Jerusalem: and he broke down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene, Yoas babarima Ahasia babarima Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes. Na Yoas bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yerusalem. Afei ɔhyɛɛ nʼakofo no ma wodwiriw Yerusalem fasu no, fi Efraim Pon no de kosii Twɔtwɔw so Pon no, a ne tenten bɛyɛ sɛ anammɔn ahansia no.
14 And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
Ɔfaa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne nnwinne nyinaa fii Awurade asɔredan mu ne ahemfi adekoradan mu hɔ. Ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum, na ɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
15 But the rest of the acts of Joas, which he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Yoas ahenni mu nsɛm nkae ne nea ne tumi kosii ne ako a ɔne Yudahene Amasia dii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
16 And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel: and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Bere a Yoas wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
17 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima wu akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfe dunum.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Amasia ahenni mu nsɛm nkae no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachis. And they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
Wɔpam Amasia ti so wɔ Yerusalem nti, oguan kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfo no somaa awudifo, ma wotiw no, kokum no wɔ hɔ.
20 And they brought him away upon horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
Wɔsan de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom.
21 And all the people of Juda took Azarias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amasias.
Yudafo sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfe dunsia no hene.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Nʼagya wu akyi no, Asaria san kyekyeree Elat kurow, dan maa Yuda.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amasias son of Joas king of Juda, reigned Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel in Samaria, one and forty years:
Yudahene Yoas babarima Amasia adedi mfe dunum mu no, Israelhene Yoas babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien bedii hene wɔ Israel. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfirihyia aduanan baako.
24 And he did that which was evil before the Lord. He departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Na wantwe ne ho amfi abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam maa Israelfo kɔɔ mu no ho.
25 He restored the borders of Israel from the entrance of Emath, unto the sea of the wilderness, according to the word of the Lord the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet, who was of Geth, which is in Opher.
Yeroboam a ɔto so abien gyigyee Israel nsase a ɛda Lebo Hamat ne Nkyene Po no ntam no sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn nam Amitai babarima Yona, odiyifo a ofi Gat-Hefer so, hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
26 For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel that it was exceeding bitter, and that they were consumed even to them that were shut up in prison, and the lowest persons, and that there was no one to help Israel.
Awurade huu sɛnea obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wonni obiara a ɔbɛboa wɔn nso.
27 And the Lord did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.
Esiane sɛ Awurade nkaa se ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no nti, ɔnam Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso so gyee wɔn nkwa.
28 But the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his velour, wherewith he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Emath to Juda in Israel, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Yeroboam a ɔto so abien ahenni mu nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa, nea ne tumi ano kosii, nʼakodi ne nsase a ogyigye maa Israel a Damasko ne Hamat a na ɛwɔ Yuda nsam no nyinaa ka ho no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers the kings of Israel, and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.
Bere a Yeroboam wui no, wosiee no ne mpanyimfo a na wɔyɛ Israel ahemfo no nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Sakaria na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
