2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seuenth yeere Iehoiada waxed bolde, and tooke the captaines of hundreths, to wit, Azariah the sonne of Ieroham, and Ishmael the sonne of Iehohanan, and Azariah the sonne of Obed, and Maasiah the sonne of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the sonne of Zichri in couenant with him.
Atalia dii ade mfe ason no, ɔsɔfo Yehoiada kyerɛɛ no tumi. Osii ne bo ne asraafodɔm ɔha so asahene baanum, a wɔne Yeroham babarima Asaria, Yehohanan babarima Ismael, Obed babarima Asaria, Adaia babarima Maaseia ne Sikri babarima Elisafat yɛɛ apam.
2 And they went about in Iudah, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cities of Iudah, and the chiefe fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusale.
Saa mmarima yi faa sum ase, kyinii Yuda nyinaa, frɛfrɛɛ Lewifo ne mmusua ntuanofo a wɔwɔ Yuda nkurow so sɛ, wɔmmra Yerusalem.
3 And al the Congregation made a couenant with the King in the house of God: and he sayde vnto them, Behold, the Kings sonne must reigne, as the Lord hath sayd of the sonnes of Dauid.
Wɔn nyinaa hyiaa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu ne ɔhenberante Yoas yɛɛ apam. Yehoiada ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Bere adu sɛ ɔhene babarima di ade. Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, Dawid aseni na ɔbɛyɛ yɛn hene.
4 This is it that ye shall do, The third part of you that come on the Sabbath of the Priests, and the Leuites, shalbe porters of the doores.
Nea ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ ni. Sɛ asɔfo ne Lewifo ba adwuma Homeda a, wɔn mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako na wɔbɛyɛ apon ano ahwɛfo.
5 And another third part towarde the Kings house, and another thirde part at the gate of the foundation, and al the people shalbe in the courts of the house of the Lord.
Nkyemu abiɛsa mu baako nso bɛkɔ ahemfi, na nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako a wɔaka no akɔ Fapem Pon no ano. Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔaka no nyinaa tenatena Awurade Asɔredan adiwo ahorow hɔ.
6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, saue the Priests, and the Leuites that minister: they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keepe the watch of the Lord.
Monkae sɛ, asɔfo ne Lewifo a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛn Awurade Asɔredan no mu, efisɛ wɔn na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔaka no di Awurade mmara so, na wɔtenatena afikyiri.
7 And the Leuites shall compasse the King rounde about, and euery man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entreth into the house, shall be slaine, and be you with the King, when he commeth in, and when he goeth out.
Mo Lewifo na mobɛyɛ ɔhene ho awɛmfo kuw, a mukurakura mo akode. Onipa biara a wɔmmaa no kwan a ɔbɛbɛn mo no, munkum no. Bere biara, mommɛn ɔhene no.”
8 So the Leuites and all Iudah did according to all things that Iehoiada the Priest had commanded, and tooke euery man his men that came on the Sabbath, with them that went out on the Sabbath: for Iehoiada the Priest did not discharge the courses.
Enti Lewifo no ne nnipa no yɛɛ biribiara a ɔsɔfo Yehoiada hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Asahene no hwɛɛ wɔn a wɔkɔ adwuma saa Homeda no ne wɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ wogye wɔn ahome da no so. Ɔsɔfo Yehoiada amma obiara ankɔ fie.
9 And Iehoiada the Priest deliuered to the captaines of hundreths speares, and shieldes, and bucklers which had bene King Dauids, and were in the house of God.
Na Yehoiada de mpeaw ne nkatabo a na ɛyɛ Ɔhene Dawid de, na wɔkoraa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no maa asahene no.
10 And he caused all the people to stand (euery man with his weapon in his hande) from the right side of the house, to ye left side of the house by the altar and by the house round about ye king.
Ɔde awɛmfo no twaa ɔhene no ho hyiae a wɔayɛ wɔn akode krado. Wogyinagyinaa saa wɔ Asɔredan no anafo fam, twaa hɔ kɔɔ atifi fam, twaa afɔremuka no ho nyinaa hyiae.
11 Then they brought out the Kings sonne, and put vpon him the crowne and gaue him the testimonie, and made him King. And Iehoiada and his sonnes anoynted him, and sayd, God saue the King.
Afei, Yehoiada ne ne mmabarima yii ɔhene babarima Yoas bae, na wɔde ahenkyɛw no hyɛɛ no. Wɔmaa Yoas Onyankopɔn mmara nhoma no bi daa no adi sɛ ɔhene. Wɔsraa no ngo, maa obiara teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
12 But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.
Bere a Atalia tee gyegyeegye a ɔmanfo reyɛ, na wɔretutu mmirika, na wɔrekamfo ɔhene no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ, kɔhwɛɛ asɛm ko a asi.
13 And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.
Na ohuu sɛ ɔhene foforo no gyina nʼafa baabi wɔ afadum no ho wɔ Asɔredan no kwan ano a ɛkyerɛ ne tumi. Na mpanyimfo ne torobɛntohyɛnfo atwa ne ho ahyia, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa regye wɔn ani, rehyɛn ntorobɛnto. Nnwontofo a wɔnam nnwontode so bɔɔ nnwom de dii ɔmanfo no anim ahokeka so. Bere a Atalia huu eyi no, ɔde ahometew sunsuan ne ntade mu teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Amammɔsɛm! Amammɔsɛm!”
14 Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.
Na ɔsɔfo Yehoiada hyɛɛ asafohene a wɔhwɛ asraafo no so no se, “Montwe no mfi Asɔredan mu ha, na obiara a ɔbɛyɛ sɛ ɔregye no no, munkum no. Nanso munnkum no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu ha.”
15 So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there.
Enti wɔtwee no de no kɔɔ ɔkwan a apɔnkɔ fa so ba ahemfi hɔ no so, kum no wɔ hɔ.
16 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people.
Na Yehoiada ne ɔhene no ne ɔmanfo no yɛɛ apam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ Awurade nkurɔfo.
17 And all the people went to the house of Baal, and destroyed, and brake his altars and his images, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Na nnipa no nyinaa kɔɔ Baal asɔredan no mu, kobubu gui. Wɔsɛee afɔremuka no, dwerɛw ohoni no, kum Baal sɔfo Matan wɔ afɔremuka no anim.
18 And Iehoiada appointed officers for the house of the Lord, vnder the handes of the Priestes and Leuites, whome Dauid had distributed for the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with reioycing and singing by the appoyntment of Dauid.
Yehoiada nam ahyɛde a Dawid ka too hɔ so, de Lewifo asɔfo sisii Awurade Asɔredan no dwumadi ahorow no ano. Ɔhyɛɛ nso sɛ, wɔmmɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma Awurade, sɛnea Mose mmara kyerɛ no, na wɔnto nnwom nsɛpɛw wɔn ho, sɛnea Dawid ahyɛ no.
19 And he set porters by the gates of ye house of the Lord, that none that was vncleane in any thing, should enter in.
Ɔde apon ano ahwɛfo no sisii Awurade Asɔredan apon ano, sɛnea wɔremma wɔn a wɔn ho ntew no nkɔ mu.
20 And he tooke the captaines of hundreths, and the noble men, and the gouernours of the people, and all the people of the land, and he caused the King to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they went thorowe the hie gate of the Kings house, and set the King vpon the throne of the kingdome.
Afei, asahene, atitiriw, ntuanofo ne ɔmanfo nyinaa dii ɔhene no akyi, de no pue fii Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ. Wɔfaa atifi fam pon no ano, wuraa ahemfi hɔ, de ɔhene no kɔtenaa adehye ahengua no so.
21 Then all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was quiet, after that they had slaine Athaliah with the sword.
Enti nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa dii ahurusi, na asomdwoe baa ɔman no mu, efisɛ na wɔde afoa akum Atalia.
