2 Kings 14
1 The second yeere of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel reigned Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah.
Bere a Yoas babarima Amasia fii ase dii ade wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi ade wɔ Israel mfe abien.
2 He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Iehoadan of Ierusalem.
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 vprightly in the sight of the Lord, yet not like Dauid his father, but did according to all that Ioash his father had done.
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto nea nʼagya Dawid yɛe. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛso so.
4 Notwithstanding the hie places were not taken away: for as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense in the hie places.
Nanso, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.
5 And when the kingdome was confirmed in his hand, he slewe his seruants which had killed 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 those that did slay him, he slewe not, according vnto that that is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers: but euery man shall be put to death for his owne sinne.
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 also of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and tooke the citie of Sela by warre, and called the name thereof Ioktheel vnto 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 Amaziah sent messengers to Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz, sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face.
Da bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nena anim se, “Behyia me ma yɛnko.”
9 Then Iehoash the King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon, went and trode downe 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 Because thou hast smitten Edom, thine heart hath made thee proud: bragge of glory, and tary at home. why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah 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 Amaziah would not heare: therefore Iehoash King of Israel went vp: and he and Amaziah King of Iudah sawe one another in the face at Beth-shemesh which is in Iudah.
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 Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fledde euery man to their tents.
Israel asraafo dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda asraafo no bɔ hwetee, guan kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
13 But Iehoash King of Israel tooke Amaziah King of Iudah, the sonne of Iehoash the sonne of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Ierusalem, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, foure hundreth cubites.
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 tooke all the gold and siluer, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and the children that were in hostage, 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 Concerning the rest of the acts of Iehoash which he did and his valiant deedes, and how he fought with Amaziah King of Iudah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles 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 Iehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried at Samaria among the Kings of Israel: and Ieroboam his sonne 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 Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah, liued after the death of Iehoash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel fifteene yeere.
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima wu akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfe dunum.
18 Concerning the rest of the actes of Amaziah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Amasia ahenni mu nsɛm nkae no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
19 But they wrought treason against him in Ierusalem, and he fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish, and slewe 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 on horses, and he was buried at Ierusalem with his fathers in the citie of Dauid.
Wɔsan de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom.
21 Then all the people of Iudah tooke Azariah which was sixteene yeere olde, and made him King for his father Amaziah.
Yudafo sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfe dunsia no hene.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Iudah, after that the King slept with his fathers.
Nʼagya wu akyi no, Asaria san kyekyeree Elat kurow, dan maa Yuda.
23 In the fifteenth yeere of Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah, was Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash made King ouer Israel in Samaria, and reigned one and fourtie yeere.
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 euill in the sight of the Lord: for he departed not from all the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne.
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 coast of Israel, from the entring of Hamath, vnto the Sea of the wildernesse, according to the worde of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by his seruant Ionah the sonne of Amittai the Prophet, which was of Gath Hepher.
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 exceeding bitter affliction of Israel, so that there was none shutte vp, nor any left, neyther yet any that could helpe Israel.
Awurade huu sɛnea obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wonni obiara a ɔbɛboa wɔn nso.
27 Yet the Lord had not decreed to put out the name of Israel from vnder the heauen: therefore he preserued them by the hand of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash.
Esiane sɛ Awurade nkaa se ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no nti, ɔnam Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso so gyee wɔn nkwa.
28 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ieroboam, and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, and how he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Hamath to Iudah in Israel, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles 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 So Ieroboam slept with his fathers, euen with the Kings of Israel, and Zachariah his sonne reigned in his steade.
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.
