2 Chronicles 31
1 NOW when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Afahyɛ no twaa mu no, Israelfo a wɔkɔɔ bi no kɔɔ Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase nkurow nyinaa so, kɔsɛee afadum kronkron no, twitwaa Asera nnua no, yiyii abosonsomfo nsɔree so ne afɔremuka no. Eyi akyi, Israelfo no san kɔɔ wɔn nkurow so ne wɔn afi mu.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord.
Hesekia kyekyɛɛ asɔfo no ne Lewifo no mu akuwakuw, sɛ wɔmmɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre, sɛ wɔnsom, na wɔmfa aseda ne nkamfo mma Awurade wɔ Asɔredan no apon ano.
3 He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord.
Ɔhene no ankasa fii nea ɔwɔ mu maa anɔpa ne anwummere, nnaawɔtwe homeda afahyɛ ne Ɔsram Foforo Afahyɛ no ne afirihyia afɔre a aka no ɔhyew afɔrebɔde, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Awurade Mmara no mu no.
4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord.
Ɔhyɛɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no mfa nea wonya mu kyɛfa a mmara no ka no bɛma asɔfo no ne Lewifo no, sɛnea ɛbɛma wɔde wɔn ho nyinaa ahyɛ Awurade Mmara no mu.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
Nnipa no tiee no aso pa mu, na wofi koma pa mu de atoko, nsa foforo, ngo, ɛwo ne wɔn nnɔbae nkae mu nea edi kan nyinaa bae. Wɔde wɔn ahode biara mu ntotoso du du bae.
6 And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps.
Nnipa a wotu fii Israel baa Yuda no ne Yudafo no ankasa de wɔn anantwi ne wɔn nguan so ntotoso du du ne nneɛma a wɔahyira so ama Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn no so ntotoso du du bae. Wɔboaa ano ma ɛyɛɛ akuw akɛseakɛse.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Wɔde saa ntotoso du du a edi kan no baa ɔsram a ɛto so abiɛsa no awiei mu, na nneɛma no anoboa kɔɔ so kosii ɔsram a ɛto so ason no mfiase mu.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
Bere a Hesekia ne ne mpanyimfo behuu nneɛma no dodow no, wɔdaa Awurade ne ne nkurɔfo Israel ase.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Hesekia bisaa asɔfo no ne Lewifo no se, “Ɛhe na eyinom nyinaa fi bae?”
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
Na ɔsɔfopanyin Asaria a ofi Sadok abusua mu buae se, “Efi bere a ɔmanfo fii ase sɛ wɔde akyɛde reba Awurade Asɔredan mu no, yɛanya bebree a yebedi ama bi aka, efisɛ Awurade ahyira ne nkurɔfo.”
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them,
Hesekia yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ obenya adekoradan wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu, na wɔyɛe.
12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
Na wodii nokware de akyɛde no ne ntotoso du du no nyinaa baa Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde hyɛɛ Lewini Kenania nsa maa ne nua Simei yɛɛ ne boafo.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
Na Yehiel, Asasia, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimot, Yosabad, Eliel, Ismakia, Mahat ne Benaia yɛ wɔn a wɔhwɛ hɔ no aboafo. Ɔhene Hesekia ne Asaria a na ɔyɛ wɔn a na wɔhwɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu so panyin no na wɔkyekyɛɛ saa dibea ahorow yi.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things.
Lewini Yimna babarima Kore a ɔyɛ Apuei Pon ano hwɛfo no na wɔde hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔnkyekyɛ Onyankopɔn ayamye afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ akyɛde ne nneɛma a wɔde ama Awurade no.
15 And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
Nʼaboafo nokwafo no ne Eden, Miniamin, Yesua, Semaia, Amaria ne Sekania. Na wɔkyekyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfo mmusua a wɔwɔ wɔn nkurow so sɛnea wɔn nkyekyɛmu te, na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa mmofra ne mpanyin.
16 Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the Lord, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
Na wɔkyɛɛ mmarimaa a wɔadi mfe abiɛsa rekɔ nyinaa akyɛde no bi a wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nhoma mu, na da biara wɔkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, kɔyɛ wɔn nnwuma a wɔde ahyɛ wɔn kuw no nsa no.
17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
Na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nhoma mu ne Lewifo a wɔadi mfe aduonu ne nea ɛboro saa, a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn din sɛnea wɔn nnwuma ne wɔn nkyekyɛmu te no.
18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
Na wɔmaa abusuafo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ anato nhoma mu a nkokoaa, ɔyerenom ne mmabarima ne mmabea nso ka ho nnuan. Efisɛ na wɔadi nokware adwira wɔn ho.
19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
Na asɔfo, Aaron asefo a na wɔtete nkuraa a atwa nkurow no ho ahyia no anaa nkurow no mu no de, woyiyii nnipa ma wɔkyɛɛ ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfo no mu ne Lewifo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din anato mu no nneɛma no bi.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.
Saa ɔkwan yi so na Hesekia fa kyɛɛ nneɛma wɔ Yudaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔyɛɛ nea ɛfata na ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn ani.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
Nea Hesekia yɛɛ nyinaa de som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, ne mmɔden a ɔbɔɔ sɛ obedi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so no, ɔde ne koma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ ne Nyankopɔn. Ne saa nti, ɛma onyaa nkɔso bebree.
