2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
Bere a Manase dii hene no, na wadi mfe dumien, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonum anum. Na ne na din de Hefsibah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, after the abominations of the heathen, whom YHWH cast out before the children of Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfo aman nneyɛe a ɛyɛ akyiwade a Awurade apam afi asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsan sisii abosonsomfo abosonnan a nʼagya Hesekia bubu gui no. Ɔyɛɛ afɔremuka pii maa Baal, na osii Asera dua, sɛnea Israelhene Ahab yɛe ara pɛ. Afei, ɔkotow sɔree wim atumfo.
4 And he built altars in the house of YHWH, of which YHWH said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Na mpo, osisii abosom afɔremuka pii wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu; baabi a Awurade aka sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne din anuonyam no.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of YHWH.
Osisii saa afɔremuka no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adiwo abien hɔ, de maa wim nsoromma no.
6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.
Na mpo, Manase de ɔno ankasa babarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya mu. Na ɔyɛ abayisɛm, kɔ abisa. Ɔkɔɔ samanfrɛfo hɔ ne asumanfo so. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree Awurade ani so, ma ɛhyɛɛ no abufuw.
7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which YHWH said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no de kosii asɔredan mu, beae koro no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo se, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din anuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kurow a mayi afi Israel mmusuakuw a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if 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 Israelfo betie mʼahyɛde a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asu mfi asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom YHWH destroyed before the children of Israel.
Nanso nnipa no antie. Manase dii wɔn anim ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree a ɛsen abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee no bere a Israelfo kɔɔ saa asase no so no mpo.
10 And YHWH spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
Awurade nam nʼasomfo a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifo so kae se,
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
“Yudahene Manase ayɛ akyiwade bebree. Na mpo, ɔyɛ omumɔyɛfo sen Amorifo a wɔbɛtenaa asase yi so ansa na Israel reba no. Wadi Yudafo anim de wɔn akɔ ahonisom mu.
12 Therefore thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
Enti sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Mede ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bɛto Yerusalem ne Yuda so ama aso a ɛbɛte saa nsɛm no mu ayɛ no yonn.
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 ɔkwan a menam so buu Samaria ne Ahab abusua atɛn no so abu Yerusalem atɛn. Mɛpepa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, te sɛnea obi hohoro asanka mu, na ɔdan butuw no.
14 And I will forsake 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 nkurɔfo kakra a wɔaka no, na mede wɔn bɛma wɔn atamfo sɛ asade.
15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
Efisɛ wɔayɛ bɔne kɛse wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuw, fi bere a wɔn agyanom fii 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 YHWH.
Manase kunkum nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kosii sɛ, mogya a edi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, fi ti kosi ti. Eyi ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafo 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 ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa ne bɔne a ɔyɛe no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
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 wui no, wosiee no wɔ ahemfi no turo a na ɛyɛ Usa dea no mu. Na ne babarima Amon na odii nʼade 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 hene no, na wadi mfe aduonu abien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe abien. Na wɔfrɛ ne na Mesulemet a na ɔyɛ Harus a ofi Yolba no babea.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, as his father Manasseh did.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya Manase yɛe 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 nhwɛso so, som ahoni koro no ara a na nʼagya som wɔn no.
22 And he forsook YHWH Elohim of his fathers, and walked not in the way of YHWH.
Ogyaw Awurade, nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn no na wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛfa Awurade akwan so.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
Na Amon no ankasa asomfo bɔɔ ne ho pɔw, kum no wɔ nʼahemfi.
24 And 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 kunkum nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔw no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii ade 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 ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
Wosiee no wɔ ne boda a ɛwɔ Usa turo mu hɔ no mu. Na ne babarima Yosia dii ade sɛ ɔhene.
