2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
Afei, ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no sii Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia ɔhene a ɔdi hɔ. Na Arabfoɔ afomfafoɔ akuo akunkum mmammarima mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa. Ɛno enti, Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yuda.
2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Ahasia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmienu, na ɔdii ɔhene afe wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame a ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nana no din de Atalia.
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
Ahasia nso yɛɛ ɔhene Ahab abusua bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ no bi, ɛfiri sɛ, ne maame hyɛɛ no nkuran wɔ bɔneyɛ mu.
4 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so sɛdeɛ Ahab yɛeɛ no. Nʼagya wuo akyi no, Ahab abusuafoɔ na wɔbɛyɛɛ nʼafotufoɔ. Wɔn na wɔde no kɔɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu.
5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead; and the Arameans wounded Joram.
Esiane wɔn afotubɔne enti, Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ ɔhene Yoram a ɔyɛ Israelhene Ahab babarima ho. Wɔtuu Aramhene Hasael so sa wɔ Ramot-Gilead. Ɔko no mu, Aramfoɔ no piraa Yoram.
6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Yoram sane kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsaa nʼapirakuro no, na Yudahene Ahasia kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsraa no.
7 Now the downfall of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram; for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
Na yei danee mfomsoɔ kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ, ɔbɛtwe Ahasia aso. Saa nsrahwɛ yi mu na Ahasia ne Yoram kɔhyiaa Nimsi babarima Yehu, a na Awurade ayi no sɛ ɔntwa Ahab fie adedie ntoatoasoɔ no so.
8 And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.
Ɛberɛ a Yehu rebu atɛn atia Ahab fie no, ɔhyiaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ ne Ahasia abusuafoɔ bi a na wɔresom Ahasia. Enti, Yehu kunkumm wɔn nyinaa.
9 And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him — now he was hiding in Samaria — and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said: 'He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.' And there was none of the house of Ahaziah that had power to hold the kingdom.
Afei, Yehu mmarima hwehwɛɛ Ahasia, na wɔkɔhunuu no sɛ wakɔtɛ Samaria kuropɔn no mu. Wɔde no brɛɛ Yehu, na ɔkumm no. Wɔsiee Ahasia maa ɛyɛɛ fɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa dii ne ho adanseɛ sɛ, “Ɔyɛ Yehosafat a ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ Awurade no nana.” Ahasia abusua mu nnipa a wɔkaa akyire no mu biara amfata sɛ ɔdi ahennie no so.
10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
Ɛberɛ a Yudahene Ahasia ne maame Atalia tee sɛ ne babarima no awuo no, ɔkekaa ne ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda adehyeɛ abusua no.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bed-chamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest — for she was the sister of Ahaziah — hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
Nanso, Ahasia nuabaa Yehoseba, a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Yehoram babaa, faa Ahasia babarima abadomaa Yoas firii ɔhene no mma a aka a wɔrebɛkum wɔn no mu. Ɔde Yoas ne onipa a ɔhwɛ no no kɔsiee pia bi mu. Yei ne ɛkwan a ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada yere Yehoseba faa so de abɔfra no sieeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na Atalia nnya no nkum no.
12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
Yoas hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu hɔ mfeɛ nsia wɔ ɛberɛ a na Atalia di ɔman no so no.
