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 adeɛ mfeɛ nson no, ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biribi. Ɔsii ne bo ne asahene baanum, a wɔn ne 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 esum ase, kyinii Yuda nyinaa, frɛfrɛɛ Lewifoɔ ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Yuda nkuro 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 ɔhenberanteɛ Yoas yɛɛ apam. Yehoiada ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ ɔhene babarima di adeɛ. Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, Dawid aseni na ɔbɛyɛ yɛn ɔhene.
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.
Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nie: Sɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ ba adwuma Homeda a, wɔn mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako na wɔbɛyɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ.
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.
Nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako nso bɛkɔ ahemfie, na nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako a aka no akɔ Fapem Ɛpono no ano. Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a aka no nyinaa tenatena Awurade Asɔredan adihɔ ahodoɔ 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, asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛne Awurade Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a aka no di Awurade mmara so, na wɔtenatena afikyire.
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 Lewifoɔ na mobɛbɔ ɔhene ho ban, na mobɛkurakura mo akodeɛ. Sɛ obiara a ɔnni ho kwan wura Asɔredan no mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no. Ɛberɛ biara, mommɛn ɔhene no pɛɛ.”
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, Lewifoɔ no ne nnipa no yɛɛ biribiara a ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Asahene no hwɛɛ wɔn a wɔkɔ adwuma saa Homeda no ne wɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgye wɔn ahome da no so. Ɔsɔfoɔ 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 mpea ne akokyɛm a na ɛyɛ Ɔhene Dawid dea 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 awɛmfoɔ no twaa ɔhene no ho hyiaeɛ a wɔayɛ wɔn akodeɛ krado. Wɔgyinagyinaa saa so wɔ Asɔredan no anafoɔ fam, twaa hɔ kɔɔ atifi fam, twaa afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa hyiaeɛ.
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 mmammarima yii ɔhene babarima Yoas baeɛ, na wɔde ahenkyɛ no hyɛɛ no. Wɔmaa Yoas Onyankopɔn mmara nwoma no bi daa no adi sɛ ɔhene. Wɔsraa no ngo, maa obiara teaam sɛ, “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.
Ɛberɛ a Atalia tee gyegyeegye a ɔmanfoɔ reyɛ, na wɔretutu mmirika, na wɔrekamfo ɔhene no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ, kɔhwɛɛ asɛm korɔ 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 ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene foforɔ no gyina nʼafa baabi wɔ afadum no ho wɔ Asɔredan no kwan ano a ɛkyerɛ ne tumi. Na mpanimfoɔ ne totorobɛntohyɛnfoɔ atwa ne ho ahyia, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa regye wɔn ani, rehyɛn ntotorobɛnto. Nnwontofoɔ a wɔnam nnwontodeɛ so bɔɔ nnwom de dii ɔmanfoɔ no anim ahokeka so. Ɛberɛ a Atalia hunuu yei no, ɔde ahometeɛ sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu teateaam sɛ, “Amammɔeɛsɛm! Amammɔeɛsɛm!”
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 ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada hyɛɛ asafohene a wɔhwɛ akodɔm no so no sɛ, “Montwe no mfiri Asɔredan mu ha, na obiara a ɔbɛyɛ sɛ ɔregye no no, monkum no. Nanso, monnkum 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 ɛkwan a apɔnkɔ fa so ba ahemfie hɔ so, kumm no 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 ɔmanfoɔ no yɛɛ apam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ.
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, kɔbubu guiɛ. Wɔsɛee afɔrebukyia no, dwerɛɛ ohoni no, kumm Baal ɔsɔfoɔ Matan wɔ afɔrebukyia 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 ahyɛdeɛ a Dawid ka too hɔ so, de Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ sisii Awurade Asɔredan no dwumadie ahodoɔ no ano. Ɔhyɛɛ nso sɛ, wɔmmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade, sɛdeɛ Mose mmara kyerɛ no, na wɔnto nnwom nsɛpɛ wɔn ho, sɛdeɛ 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 apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no sisii Awurade Asɔredan apono ano, sɛdeɛ wɔremma wɔn a wɔn ho nte 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, atitire, ntuanofoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ nyinaa dii ɔhene no akyi, de no pue firii Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ. Wɔfaa atifi fam ɛpono no ano, wuraa ahemfie hɔ, de ɔhene no kɔtenaa adehyeɛ ahennwa 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 ahurisie, na asomdwoeɛ baa ɔman no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔakum Atalia.
