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.
Afei, ɛberɛ a afahyɛ no twaam no, Israelfoɔ a wɔkɔɔ bi no kɔɔ Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase nkuro nyinaa so, kɔsɛee afadum kronkron no, twitwaa Asera afɔrebukyia no, yiyii abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ ne afɔrebukyia no. Yei akyi, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn nkuro so ne wɔn afie 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 YHWH.
Afei, Hesekia kyekyɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no mu akuakuo, sɛ wɔmmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ, sɛ wɔnsom, na wɔmfa aseda ne nkamfo mma Awurade wɔ Asɔredan no apono 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 YHWH.
Ɔhene no ankasa maa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔyɛ mmoa ma anɔpa ne anwummerɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne nnawɔtwe homeda afahyɛ ne bosome Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ no ne afirinhyia afɔdeɛ a aka no, sɛdeɛ Awurade mmara kyerɛ 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 YHWH.
Ɛno akyi, ɔhwɛɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no de deɛ wɔnya mu kyɛfa a mmara no ka no bɛma asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no, sɛdeɛ 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 fields; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
Nnipa no tiee no aso pa mu, na wɔfiri akoma pa mu de nnɔbaeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɛyɛ atokoɔ, nsã foforɔ, ngo, ɛwoɔ ne wɔn mfudeɛ nyinaa baeɛ. Wɔde wɔn ahodeɛ biara mu ntotosoɔ dudu baeɛ.
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 YHWH their Elohim, and laid them by heaps.
Nnipa a wɔtu firii Israel baa Yuda no ne Yudafoɔ no ankasa de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn nnwan so ntotosoɔ dudu ne nneɛma a wɔahyira so ama Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn no so ntotosoɔ dudu baeɛ. Wɔboaa ano ma ɛyɛɛ akuakuo akɛseakɛseɛ.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Wɔde saa ntotosoɔ dudu a ɛdi ɛkan no baa bosome a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no awieeɛ mu, na nneɛma no anoboa kɔɔ so kɔsii bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ahyɛaseɛ mu.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed YHWH, and his people Israel.
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia ne ne mpanimfoɔ bɛhunuu nneɛma dodoɔ no, wɔdaa Awurade ne ne nkurɔfoɔ Israel ase.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Hesekia bisaa asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛhe na yeinom nyinaa firi baeɛ?”
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 YHWH, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for YHWH hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
Na ɔsɔfopanin Asaria a ɔfiri Sadok abusua mu buaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔmanfoɔ firii aseɛ sɛ wɔde akyɛdeɛ reba Awurade Asɔredan mu no, yɛanya bebree a yɛbɛdi ama ebi aka, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyira ne nkurɔfoɔ.”
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of YHWH; and they prepared them,
Hesekia yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛnya adekoradan wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu, na wɔyɛeɛ.
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 wɔdii nokorɛ de akyɛdeɛ no ne ntotosoɔ dudu no nyinaa baa Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde hyɛɛ Lewini Kenania nsa maa ne nua Simei yɛɛ ne ɔboafoɔ.
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 Azaria the ruler of the house of Elohim.
Sohwɛfoɔ a na wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no ne Yehiel, Asasia, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimot, Yosabad, Eliel, Ismakia, Mahat ne Benaia. Ɔhene Hesekia ne Asaria a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu sohwɛfoɔ panin no na wɔkyekyɛɛ saa dibea ahodoɔ yi.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of Elohim, to distribute the oblations of YHWH, and the most holy things.
Lewini Yimna babarima Kore a ɔyɛ Apueeɛ Ɛpono ano hwɛfoɔ no na wɔde hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛ, ɔnkyekyɛ Onyankopɔn ayamyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ 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:
Nʼaboafoɔ nokwafoɔ no ne Eden, Miniamin, Yesua, Semaia, Amaria ne Sekania. Na wɔkyekyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfoɔ mmusua a wɔwɔ wɔn nkuro so sɛdeɛ wɔn nkyekyɛmu teɛ, na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa mmɔfra ne mpanin.
16 Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of YHWH, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
Na wɔkyɛɛ mmarimaa a wɔadi mfeɛ mmiɛnsa rekɔ nyinaa akyɛdeɛ no bi a wɔn din wɔ wɔn abusuadua nwoma mu, a nso da biara wɔkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, kɔyɛ wɔn nnwuma a wɔde ahyɛ wɔn ekuo no nsa.
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 asɔfoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn abusuadua nwoma mu ne Lewifoɔ a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne deɛ ɛboro saa, a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn din sɛdeɛ wɔn nnwuma ne wɔn nkyekyɛmu teɛ.
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 mmusuafoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ abusuadua nwoma mu a mmadoma, ɔyerenom ne mmammarima ne mmammaa nso ka ho nnuane, sɛ wɔn kyɛfa. Ɛfiri sɛ na wɔadi nokorɛ 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 asɔfoɔ, Aaron asefoɔ a na wɔtete nkuraa a atwa nkuro no ho ahyia no, wɔyiyii nnipa ma wɔkyɛɛ ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfoɔ no mu ne Lewifoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ abusuadua mu no nneɛma no bi.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before YHWH his Elohim.
Saa ɛkwan yi so na Hesekia fa kyɛɛ nneɛma wɔ Yudaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛfata na ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn ani.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of Elohim, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his Elohim, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
Deɛ Hesekia yɛeɛ nyinaa de som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, ne mmɔden a ɔbɔɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so no, ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ ne Onyankopɔn. Ne saa enti, ɛmaa ɔnyaa nkɔsoɔ bebree.
