2 Kings 15

1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

Bere a Yeroboam a ɔto so abien di ade wɔ Israel no, ne mfe aduonu ason so na Amasia babarima Asaria fii ase dii ade wɔ Yuda.

2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

Obedii hene no, na wadi mfe dunsia. Na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonum abien. Na ne na din de Yekolia a ofi Yerusalem.

3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

Na ɔteɛ wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya Amasia teɛ no.

4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places.

Wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.

5 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a house set apart. And Jotham the king's son was over the household, judging the people of the land.

Awurade maa kwata yɛɛ ɔhene no, kosii da a owui. Ne saa nti, na ɔno nko te ofi bi mu. Yotam a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no babarima na ɔhwɛɛ ahemfi no so, na odii nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no so.

6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Na Asaria adedi ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

7 And Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

Asaria wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurow mu. Na ne babarima Yotam na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.

8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

Yudahene Asaria dii ade no, ne mfe aduasa awotwe mu no na Yeroboam a ɔto so abien babarima Sakaria nso dii ade Israel wɔ Samaria. Odii ade asram asia.

9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagyanom yɛe no. Wamfi ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam maa Israelfo som no ho.

10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

Na Yabes babarima Salum bɔɔ pɔw de tiaa Sakaria, kum no wɔ bagua mu, dii akongua no.

11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Sakaria dwuma a odii nkae no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

12 This was the word of the LORD which He spoke unto Jehu, saying: 'Thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.' And so it came to pass.

Enti, Awurade asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ, Yehu se, “Wʼasefo na wɔbɛyɛ Israel ahemfo akosi awo ntoatoaso a ɛto so anan” mu no, baa mu.

13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned the space of a month in Samaria.

Yabes babarima Salum bedii Israel so hene no, na ɛyɛ Yudahene Usia adedi mfe aduasa akron mu. Salum dii ade wɔ Samaria ɔsram baako pɛ.

14 And Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

Afei, Gadi babarima Menahem fii Tirsa kɔɔ Samaria. Ɔkɔtow hyɛɛ Yabes babarima Salum so kum no, na ɔtenaa akongua no so.

15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Salum ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne pɔw a ɔbɔe no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu?

16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the borders thereof, from Tirzah; because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.

Saa bere no mu, Menahem fii Tirsa kɔtoaa Tifsa ne obiara a ɔwɔ hɔ ne ne nkurow nyinaa, efisɛ ɛhɔfo no ampene so sɛ wɔde kurow no bɛma. Okunkum kurow no mu nnipa nyinaa, paapae emu apemfo nyinaa yafunu mu.

17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.

Gadi babarima Menahem fii ase dii Israelhene bere a na Usia adi ade wɔ Yuda ne mfe aduasa akron so. Odii hene wɔ Samaria mfirihyia du.

18 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Nanso Menahem yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Nʼahenni mu nyinaa, wannyae bɔne a ɛyɛ ahonisom no a na Nebat babarima Yeroboam adi Israelfo anim de wɔn asom no.

19 There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

Afei, Asiriahene Pul bedii asase no so. Na Menahem tuaa dwetɛ nkaribo tɔn aduasa ason maa no sɛnea ɔbɛtaa nʼakyi ama nʼahenni no atim.

20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

Menahem nam apoobɔ so gyigyee Israel asikafo no mu biara nkyɛn dwetɛ a ɛkari gram ahannum aduoson de maa Asiriahene. Ɛno nti, Asiriahene ankɔtow anhyɛ Israel so, na wantena asase no so nso.

21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Na Menahem adedi ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

22 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.

Bere a Menahem wui no, ne babarima Pekahia na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.

Menahem babarima Pekahia fii ase dii Israelhene wɔ Yudahene Usia ahenni ne mfe aduonum so. Odii hene wɔ Samaria mfe abien.

24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Nanso Pekahia yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfi ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israelfo anim ma wɔsom no ho.

25 And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the castle of the king's house, by Argob and by Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites; and he slew him, and reigned in his stead.

Na Remalia babarima Peka a na ɔyɛ Pekahia asraafo so sahene no bɔɔ pɔw tiaa no. Ɔfaa mmarima aduonum fii Gilead, kaa ne ho, kokum ɔhene no ne Argob ne Arie wɔ Samaria ahemfi abangua mu. Peka na afei obedii hene wɔ Israel.

26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Pekahia ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

Remalia babarima Peka bedii hene wɔ Israel wɔ bere a na Usia adi hene wɔ Yuda mfe aduonum abien. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfirihyia aduonu.

28 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Nanso Peka yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfi ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israel anim ma wɔsom no ho.

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.

Peka ahenni so no, Asiriahene Tiglat-Pileser kɔtoaa Israelfo bio, faa nkurow Iyon ne Abel-Bet-Maaka ne Yanoa ne Kedes ne Hasor ne Gilead ne Galilea ne Naftali nsase nyinaa. Na ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum kɔɔ Asiria.

30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

Na Ela babarima Hosea bɔɔ pɔw, tiaa Peka na okum no. Ofii ase dii Israel so hene bere a na Usia babarima Yotam nso adi ade mfe aduonu wɔ Yuda.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Peka adedi mu nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

Usia babarima Yotam dii hene wɔ Yuda bere a na ɔhene Peka adi ade wɔ Israel mfirihyia abien.

33 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

Odii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum, na odii Yerusalem so hene mfe dunsia. Na ne na a ɔyɛ Sadok babea no din de Yerusa.

34 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

Yotam yɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani, sɛnea nʼagya Usia yɛe no ara pɛ.

35 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD.

Nanso wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no. Ɔno ne obi a ɔsan sii Awurade Asɔredan no atifi pon.

36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Yotam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne nea ɔyɛe nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

37 In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

Saa mmere no mu, Awurade fii ase somaa Aramhene Resin ne Israelhene Peka, sɛ wɔnkɔtow nhyɛ Yuda so.

38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Bere a Yotam wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurow mu. Na ne babarima Ahas bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
