2 Kings 13
1 In the three and twentieth yeere of Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah King of Iudah, Iehoahaz the sonne of Iehu began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, and he reigned seuenteene yeere.
Bere a Yehu babarima Yehoahas fii ase dii hene wɔ Israel no, na ɔhene Yoas nso adi ade mfe aduonu abiɛsa wɔ Yuda. Odii ade mfe dunson wɔ Samaria.
2 And he did euil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.
Nanso ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii Nebat babarima Yeroboam nhwɛso akyi, toaa ahonisom a odii Israelfo no anim yɛe no so.
3 And the Lord was angry with Israel, and deliuered them into the hand of Hazael King of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the sonne of Hazael, all his dayes.
Enti Awurade bo fuw Israelfo, na ɔmaa ɔhene Hasael a ofi Aram ne ne babarima Ben-Hadad kwan ma wodii wɔn so mfe bebree.
4 And Iehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the trouble of Israel, wherewith the King of Aram troubled them.
Na Yehoahas bɔɔ Awurade mpae, srɛɛ ne mmoa. Awurade tiee ne mpaebɔ. Na Awurade huu nhyɛsotraso a Aramhene de maa Israelfo no.
5 (And the Lord gaue Israel a deliuerer, so that they came out from vnder the subiection of the Aramites. And the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before time.
Awurade yii ogyefo bi ma obegyee Israelfo no fii Aramfo nhyɛsotraso no ase. Na Israelfo no tenaa ase ahotɔ mu bio, sɛnea na wɔte kan no.
6 Neuerthelesse they departed not from the sinnes of the house of Ieroboam which made Israel sinne, but walked in them. euen the groue also remayned still in Samaria)
Nanso wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne, wodii Yeroboam nhwɛsobɔne no akyi. Na mpo, wosii Asera dua wɔ Samaria.
7 For he had left of the people to Iehoahaz but fiftie horsemen, and tenne charets, and tenne thousand footemen, because the King of Aram had destroyed them, and made them like dust beaten to pouder.
Na Yehoahas asraafo no so atew abɛyɛ apɔnkɔsotefo aduonum, nteaseɛnam du ne anammɔnmufo asraafo mpem du. Na Aramhene akunkum nkae no ayɛ wɔn sɛ awiporowbere mfutuma wɔ ne nan ase.
8 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoahaz and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Yehoahas ahenni mu nneɛma a esisii, dwuma a odii ne nea ne tumidi kɔpem nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
9 And Iehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, and Ioash his sonne reigned in his steade.
Bere a Yehoahas wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Yehoas dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
10 In the seuen and thirtieth yere of Ioash King of Iudah began Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteene yeere,
Yehoahas babarima Yehoas fii ase dii Israel so wɔ bere a na ɔhene Yoas adi ade wɔ Yuda ne mfe aduasa ason so. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfe dunsia.
11 And did euil in the sight of the Lord: for he departed not from all the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat that made Israel to sinne, but he walked therein.
Na ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfi abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israel anim ma wɔyɛɛ no ho.
12 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ioash and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, and how he fought against Amaziah King of Iudah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Yehoas dwuma a odii no nkae wɔ nʼahenni mu ne ne mmaninyɛ nyinaa ne ne tumi a na ɔwɔ no ne ɔko a ɔne Yudahene Amasia koe no, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
13 And Ioash slept with his fathers, and Ieroboam sate vpon his seate: and Ioash was buryed in Samaria among the Kings of Israel.
Bere a Yehoas wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
14 When Elisha fell sicke of his sickenesse whereof he dyed, Ioash the King of Israel came downe vnto him, and wept vpon his face, and sayd, O my father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen of the same.
Bere a owuyare bɔɔ Elisa no, Israelhene Yehoas kɔsraa no, na osuu no se, “Mʼagya! Mʼagya! Israel nteaseɛnam ne nteaseɛnamkafo!”
15 Then Elisha sayde vnto him, Take a bowe and arrowes. And he tooke vnto him bowe and arrowes.
Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwehwɛ tadua ne bɛmma.” Na ɔhene no yɛɛ nea ɔkae no.
16 And he sayde to the King of Israel, Put thine hand vpon the bowe. And he put his hand vpon it. And Elisha put his hands vpon the Kings hands,
Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Israelhene no se ɔmfa ne nsa nto tadua no so. Na Elisa de ɔno ankasa ne nsa too ɔhene no nsa so.
17 And saide, Open the windowe Eastward. And when he had opened it, Elisha said, Shoote. And he shot. And he sayd, Beholde the arrowe of the Lordes deliuerance and the arrowe of deliuerance against Aram: for thou shalt smite the Aramites in Aphek, till thou hast consumed them.
Afei, ɔhyɛe se, “Bue mfɛnsere a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no.” Na obuei. Na ɔkae se, “Tow!” Na ɔtowee. Na Elisa kae se, “Eyi ne Awurade agyan a ɛyɛ Aram so nkonimdi, efisɛ wubedi Aramfo so pasaa wɔ Afek.
18 Againe he said, Take the arrowes. And he tooke them. And he sayde vnto the King of Israel, Smite the ground. And he smote thrise, and ceased.
Afei, tase bɛmma a aka no na totow wowɔ fam.” Enti ɔhene no tasee, na ɔtotow wowɔɔ fam mprɛnsa.
19 Then the man of God was angry with him, and sayde, Thou shouldest haue smitten fiue or sixe times, so thou shouldest haue smitten Aram, till thou haddest consumed it, where nowe thou shalt smite Aram but thrise.
Nanso Onyankopɔn nipa no bo fuw no, kae se, “Anka ɛsɛ sɛ wototow sisi fam mpɛn anum anaa asia. Ɛno ansa a na anka wubedi Aram so, kosi sɛ wobɛtɔre wɔn ase. Enti wubedi nkonim mprɛnsa.”
20 So Elisha dyed, and they buryed him. And certaine bandes of the Moabites came into the land that yeere.
Elisa wui, na wosiee no. Na Moabfo afowfo kɔfom asase no so nneɛma afe biara.
21 And as they were burying a man, behold, they saw the souldiers: therfore they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha. And when the man was downe, and touched the bones of Elisha, he reuiued and stoode vpon his feete.
Bere bi a Israelfo resie obi no, wohuu afowfo bi. Ɛno nti, wɔyɛɛ no ntɛm tow amu no kyenee Elisa ɔboda mu. Amu no kɔkaa Elisa nnompe ara pɛ na owufo no nyanee, huruw gyinaa ne nʼanan so!
22 But Hazael King of Aram vexed Israel all the dayes of Iehoahaz.
Na Aramhene Hasael hyɛɛ Israelfo so bere a Ɔhene Yehoahas dii ade no nyinaa.
23 Therefore the Lord had mercy on them and pitied them, and had respect vnto them because of his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from him as yet.
Nanso Awurade huu Israelfo mmɔbɔ nti, wɔn ase antɔre. Esiane apam a na ɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ayɛ no nti, ohuu wɔn mmɔbɔ. Na ebesi nnɛ, ɔmpɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛtɔre wɔn ase, anaa ɔbɛpam wɔn afi nʼanim.
24 So Hazael the King of Aram dyed: and Ben-hadad his sonne reigned in his stead.
Afei, Aramhene Hasael wui, na ne babarima Ben-Hadad bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
25 Therefore Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz returned, and tooke out of the hand of Ben-hadad the sonne of Hazael the cities which he had taken away by warre out of the hand of Iehoahaz his father: for three times did Ioash beate him, and restored the cities vnto Israel.
Na Yehoahas babarima Yehoas san kogyee nkurow a Hasael gyigye fii nʼagya Yehoahas nsam no. Yehoas dii Ben-Hadad so nkonim mprɛnsa, nam so gyigyee Israel nkurow no.
