2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
Ɛberɛ a Manase dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dumienu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum enum.
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom YHWH had 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 broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsane sisii asɔreeɛ a nʼagya Hesekia sɛee no no. Ɔsii afɔrebukyia maa Baal ahoni, sisii Asera afɔrebukyia. Ɔsane kotoo nsoromma a ɛwɔ ewiem no nyinaa, somm wɔn.
4 Also he built altars in the house of YHWH, whereof YHWH had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
Mpo, ɔsisii abosonsom afɔrebukyia wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, baabi a Awurade aka sɛ, ɛhɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi ne din ni afebɔɔ no.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of YHWH.
Ɔsisii saa afɔrebukyia no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adihɔ mmienu hɔ, de maa ewiem nsoromma no.
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.
Manase de ɔno ankasa mmammarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya so wɔ Hinom Babarima Bɔnhwa mu. Ɔde ne ho hyɛɛ asumansɛm mu, kɔɔ abisa, yɛɛ abayisɛm, kɔɔ asamanfrɛfoɔ ne adunsifoɔ nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ nneɛma pii a ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, maa Awurade bo fuiɛ.
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of Elohim, of which Elohim had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Na Manase faa ohoni a wasene, de kɔsii Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu. Ɔde kɔsii baabi korɔ no ara a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo sɛ, “Wɔbɛdi me din ni wɔ ha afebɔɔ, asɔredan yi mu ne Yerusalem, kuropɔn a mayi afiri mmusuakuo a ɛwɔ Israel no nyinaa mu no.
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
Sɛ Israelfoɔ di mʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so, me mmara a wɔnam Mose so maeɛ no nyinaa so a, merentwa wɔn asuo mfiri asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom YHWH had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Nanso, Manase dii ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem anim, ma wɔyɛɛ bɔnetrasoɔ sene abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee wɔn wɔ ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ kɔɔ asase no so no.
10 And YHWH spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Manase ne ne nkurɔfoɔ no, nanso wɔantie ne kɔkɔbɔ no mu biara.
11 Wherefore YHWH brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Enti, Awurade maa Asiriafoɔ akodɔm bɛfaa Manase yɛɛ no ɔdeduani. Wɔde darewa hyɛɛ ne hwene mu, de kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree no, de no kɔɔ Babilonia.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought YHWH his Elohim, and humbled himself greatly before the Elohim of his fathers,
Na ɛberɛ a Manase wɔ ahokyere a emu yɛ den mu no, ɔpɛɛ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn akyiri kwan, na ɔde ahobrɛaseɛ su frɛɛ nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn.
13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that YHWH he was Elohim.
Na ɛberɛ a ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ no, Awurade tiee no, na nʼabisadeɛ no kaa nʼakoma. Enti, Awurade maa Manase sane kɔɔ Yerusalem wɔ nʼahennie mu. Afei, Manase tee aseɛ sɛ, Awurade nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.
14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
Yei akyi, Manase sane sisii Dawid kuropɔn abɔntene afasuo; ɛfiri Gihon asutire atɔeɛ fam a ɛwɔ Kidron bɔnhwa mu, de kɔ Apataa Ɛpono ano, kɔsi Ofel bepɔ so a wɔsi maa ɛkɔɔ soro yie no. Na ɔduaa nʼasraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no nyinaa mu.
15 And he took away the strange elohim, and the idol out of the house of YHWH, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of YHWH, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
Manase sane tutuu amamfrafoɔ anyame fifirii mmepɔ no so. Ɔsane tutuu anyame ne ahoni no firii Awurade Asɔredan mu. Ɔbubuu afɔrebukyia a wasisi wɔ bepɔ so, baabi a Asɔredan no si, ne afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, na ɔkɔto guu kuropɔn no mfikyire.
16 And he repaired the altar of YHWH, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve YHWH Elohim of Israel.
Na ɔsane sii Awurade afɔrebukyia no, bɔɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aseda afɔdeɛ wɔ so. Afei, ɔhyɛɛ Yuda manfoɔ no nkuran sɛ, wɔnsom Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no.
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto YHWH their Elohim only.
Nanso, na ɔmanfoɔ no gu so bɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ abosonsom asɔreeɛ so. Nanso, na wɔbɔ ma Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn ara.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his Elohim, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of YHWH Elohim of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
Manase adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, ne mpaeɛ a ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn ne nsɛm a adehunumufoɔ ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn din mu no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel ahemfo nwoma mu.
19 His prayer also, and how Elohim was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
Manase mpaeɛ ne ɛkwan a Onyankopɔn faa so buaa no, ne ne bɔne ne atorɔ a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa ho nsɛm no, wɔatwerɛ agu adehunumufoɔ nwoma mu. Baabi a ɔsii abosonsom asɔreeɛ, sisii Asera afɔrebukyia ne ahoni ansa na ɔrenu ne ho no nso ka ho.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Ɛberɛ a Manase wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼahemfie. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔyɛɛ ɔhene a ɔdi hɔ.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Amon dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmienu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu.
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Manase yɛeɛ no. Ɔsomm ahoni a nʼagya yɛeɛ no nyinaa, bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa wɔn.
23 And humbled not himself before YHWH, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
Nanso, wansɛ nʼagya Manase, ɛfiri sɛ, wammrɛ ne ho ase amma Awurade. Mmom, Amon yɛɛ bɔne maa ɛtraa so.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
Akyire yi, Amon no ara mpanimfoɔ pamm ne tiri so, kumm no wɔ nʼahemfie.
25 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.
Nanso, ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so kunkumm wɔn a wɔbɔɔ pɔ tiaa ɔhene Amon no, na wɔsii ne babarima Yosia ɔhene, sii nʼanan mu.
