2 Kings 14
1 The second yeere of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel reigned Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah.
Ɛberɛ a Yoas babarima Amasia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfeɛ mmienu.
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 adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu enum, na ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ aduonu nkron. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Yehoadin a ɔfiri 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 deɛ ɛtene wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto deɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛsoɔ so.
4 Notwithstanding the hie places were not taken away: for as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense in the hie places.
Amasia ansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, kɔhye nnuhwam wɔ hɔ no.
5 And when the kingdome was confirmed in his hand, he slewe his seruants which had killed the King his father.
Ɛberɛ a Amasia ase timiiɛ sɛ ɔhene no, ɔkunkumm mpanimfoɔ a wɔkumm nʼagya no nyinaa.
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 wɔkunkumm wɔn no mma deɛ, wankum wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose Mmara Nwoma no mu no, ne sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ: Mma wɔnkunkum agyanom wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ nti; na wɔnnkunkum mma wɔ wɔn agyanom bɔne a wɔayɛ enti. Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara 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 ɔkunkumm Edomfoɔ ɔpedu wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa no mu no. Ɔno ara nso na ɔdii Sela so nkonim, na ɔtoo hɔ edin Yokteel, edin a wɔde frɛ hɔ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ 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.
Ɛda bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nana anim sɛ, “Bɛhyia 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 de abasɛm buaa Yudahene Amasia sɛ, “Nkasɛɛ a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔ so somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ dutan ntweneduro nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Fa wo babaa ma me babarima awadeɛ.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi firi wiram bɛtiatiaa nkasɛɛ 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?
Nokorɛm, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdie no, na tena wo fie. Adɛn enti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafoɔ 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 enti, Israelhene Yoas boaboaa nʼakodɔm ano ne no kɔkoeɛ. Akodɔm mmienu no hyiaa mu koeɛ 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 akodɔm dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda akodɔm no bɔ hweteeɛ, dwane 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 nʼakodɔm no ma wɔdwirii Yerusalem ɔfasuo no, firi Efraim Ɛpono no de kɔsii Twɛtwɛwaso Ɛpono 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 nnwinneɛ nyinaa firii Awurade asɔredan mu ne ahemfie akoradan mu hɔ. Ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum, na ɔsane 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 ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne deɛ ne tumi kɔsiiɛ ne ako a ɔne Yudahene Amasia diiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Yoas wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu na ɔdii nʼadeɛ 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 owuo akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfeɛ 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 ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
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 tiri so wɔ Yerusalem enti, ɔdwane kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfoɔ no somaa awudifoɔ, ma wɔtii no, kɔkumm no wɔ hɔ.
20 And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Ierusalem with his fathers in the citie of Dauid.
Wɔsane de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ 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.
Yudafoɔ sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfeɛ dunsia no ɔhene.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Iudah, after that the King slept with his fathers.
Nʼagya wuo akyi no, Asaria sane kyekyeree Elat kuro, dane 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 adedie mfeɛ dunum mu no, Israelhene Yoas babarima Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu bɛdii ɔhene wɔ Israel. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Samaria mfirinhyia 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 Awurade ani so. Na wantwe ne ho amfiri abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam ma Israelfoɔ 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 ɔtɔ so mmienu gyegyee Israel nsase a ɛda Lebo Hamat ne Nkyene Ɛpo no ntam no sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn nam Amitai babarima Yona, odiyifoɔ a ɔfiri 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 hunuu sɛdeɛ obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wɔnni 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 sɛ ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no enti, 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 ɔtɔ so mmienu ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, deɛ ne tumi ano kɔsiiɛ, nʼakodie ne nsase a ɔgyegye maa Israel a Damasko ne Hamat a na ɛwɔ Yuda nsam no nyinaa ka ho no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
29 So Ieroboam slept with his fathers, euen with the Kings of Israel, and Zachariah his sonne reigned in his steade.
Ɛberɛ a Yeroboam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ a na wɔyɛ Israel ahemfo no nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Sakaria na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
