2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
Ɛberɛ a Manase dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ dumienu, na ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum enum. Na ne maame din de Hefsiba.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfoɔ aman nneyɛeɛ a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ. Ɔsuaa deɛ ɛnam so maa Awurade pamoo abosonsomfoɔ no firii asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsane sisii abosonsomfoɔ abosonnan a nʼagya Hesekia bubu guiɛ no. Ɔyɛɛ afɔrebukyia pii maa Baal, ɛnna ɔsii Asera dua, sɛdeɛ Israelhene Ahab yɛeɛ ara pɛ. Afei, ɔkoto sɔree ewiem atumfoɔ.
4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD said: 'In Jerusalem will I put My name.'
Na mpo, ɔsisii abosom afɔrebukyia pii wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu; baabi a Awurade aka sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne din animuonyam no.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
Ɔsisii saa afɔrebukyia no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adihɔ mmienu hɔ.
6 And he made his son to pass through the fire, and practised soothsaying, and used enchantments, and appointed them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.
Na mpo, Manase de ɔno ankasa babarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya mu. Na ɔyɛ abayisɛm, kɔ abisa. Ɔkɔɔ asamanfrɛfoɔ hɔ ne asumanfoɔ so. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree Awurade ani so, ma ɛhyɛɛ no abufuo.
7 And he set the graven image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son: 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put My name for ever;
Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no, de kɔsii asɔredan mu, beaeɛ korɔ no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo sɛ, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din animuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kuro a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.'
Na sɛ Israelfoɔ bɛtie mʼahyɛdeɛ a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asuo mfiri asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 But they hearkened not; and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
Nanso, nnipa no antie. Manase dii wɔn anim, ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree a ɛsene abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee no ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ kɔɔ saa asase no so no mpo.
10 And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying:
Awurade nam nʼasomfoɔ a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifoɔ so kaa sɛ,
11 'Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, that were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols;
“Yudahene Manase ayɛ akyiwadeɛ bebree. Na mpo, ɔyɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sene Amorifoɔ a wɔbɛtenaa asase yi so ansa na Israel reba no. Wadi Yudafoɔ anim, de wɔn akɔ ahonisom mu.
12 therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
Enti, sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: Mede ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bɛto Yerusalem ne Yuda so ama aso a ɛbɛte saa nsɛm no mu ayɛ no gyenn.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
Mɛfa ɛkwan a menam so buu Samaria ne Ahab abusua atɛn no so mabu Yerusalem atɛn. Mɛpepa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, te sɛ deɛ obi hohoro ayowaa mu, na ɔdane butu no.
14 And I will cast off the remnant of Mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Na mpo, mɛpo me nkurɔfoɔ kakra a wɔaka no, na mede wɔn bɛma wɔn atamfoɔ sɛ asadeɛ.
15 because they have done that which is evil in My sight, and have provoked Me, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.'
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔayɛ bɔne kɛseɛ wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuo, firi ɛberɛ a wɔn agyanom firii Misraim no.”
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Manase kunkumm nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kɔsii sɛ, mogya a ɛdi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, firi tire kɔsi tire. Yei ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafoɔ no yɛ de wɔn kɔɔ bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no Awurade ani so no ho.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Manase ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa ne bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Manase wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ahemfie no turo a na ɛyɛ Usa dea no mu. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
19 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Amon dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu mmienu. Ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Mesulemet a na ɔyɛ Harus a ɔfiri Yolba no babaa.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Manase yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them.
Ɔfaa nʼagya nhwɛsoɔ so, somm ahoni korɔ no ara a na nʼagya somm wɔn no.
22 And he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
Ɔgyaa Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn no na wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛfa Awurade akwan so.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
Na Amon no ankasa asomfoɔ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ, kumm no wɔ nʼahemfie.
24 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kunkumm nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔ no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Amon ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza; and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
Wɔsiee no wɔ ne boda a ɛwɔ Usa turo mu hɔ no mu. Na ne babarima Yosia dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
