Chronicles II 28
1 Achaz was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
Ahas dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dunsia. Wanyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛdeɛ ne tete agya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
2 But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, for he made graven images.
Mmom, ɔyɛɛ deɛ Israel ahemfo yɛeɛ no bi, yɛɛ ahoni a wɔde som Baal.
3 And [he sacrificed] to their idols in the valley of Benennom, and passed his children through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Hinom babarima bɔnhwa mu, na mpo ɔde ne mmammarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya mu. Ɔsuaa akyiwadeɛ a abosonsom aman no yɛeɛ a enti Awurade pamoo wɔn firii asase no so ansa na Israelfoɔ rekɔduru hɔ.
4 And he burnt incense upon the high places, and upon the roofs, and under every shady tree.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ, hyee nnuhwam wɔ abosomfie, mmepɔ so ne dua frɔmfrɔm biara ase.
5 And the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and he struck him, and took captive of them a great band of prisoners, and carried him to Damascus. Also [God] delivered him into the hands of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
Ɛno enti na Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn, maa Aramhene kwan dii Ahas so nkonim, twaa ne nkurɔfoɔ bebree asuo kɔɔ Damasko no. Israel akodɔm bebree nso dii Ahas so nkonim, kunkumm nʼakodɔm no bebree nso.
6 And Phakee the son of Romelias king of Israel, killed in Juda in one day a hundred and twenty thousand mighty men; because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
Israelhene Peka, a ɔyɛ Remalia babarima de da koro kunkumm Yuda akodɔm no nnipa ɔpeha aduonu, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔapo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
7 And Zechri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maasias the king's son, and Ezrican the chief of his house, and Elcana the king's deputy.
Afei, Sikri, ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ a ɔfiri Efraim, kunkumm Maaseia a ɔyɛ ɔhene babarima Asrikam, a ɔyɛ ahemfie so sahene ne Elkana, a ɔyɛ ɔhene sahene abadiakyire no.
8 And the children of Israel took captive of their brethren three hundred thousand, women, and sons, and daughters, and they spoiled them of much property, and brought the spoils to Samaria.
Israelfoɔ akodɔm kyekyeree mmaa ne Yuda mmɔfra ɔpehanu, faa asadeɛ bebree, de kɔɔ Samaria.
9 And there was there a prophet of the Lord, his name [was] Oded: and he went out to meet the host that were coming to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, the wrath of the Lord God of your fathers [is] upon Juda, and he has delivered them into your hands, and you have slain them in wrath, and it has reached even to heaven.
Na Awurade odiyifoɔ a ne din de Oded wɔ Samaria hɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a Israel akodɔm sane baa efie no. Ɔkɔhyiaa wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, bo fuu Yuda, na ɔmaa modii wɔn so nkonim. Nanso, moayɛ ma aboro so dodo sɛ mode atirimuɔden akunkum wɔn, ama aha ɔsoro nyinaa.
10 And now you talk of keeping the children of Juda and Jerusalem for servants and handmaidens. Behold, am I not with you to testify for the Lord your God?
Na seesei, moredwene sɛ mobɛfa saa nnipa yi a wɔfiri Yuda ne Yerusalem nkoa. Na mo ankasa mo bɔne a moyɛ tiaa Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no, ho asɛm te sɛn?
11 And now listen to me, and restore the prisoners of your brethren whom you have taken: for the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon you.
Montie me, na monnyaa saa nneduafoɔ a wɔwɔ mo nsam no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛ mo ankasa mo abusuafoɔ. Monhwɛ no yie, ɛfiri sɛ, seesei, wɔadane Awurade abufuhyeɛ no aba mo so!”
12 And the chiefs of the sons of Ephraim rose up, Udias the son of Joanas, and Barachias the son of Mosolamoth, and Ezekias the son of Sellem, and Amasias the son of Eldai, against those that came from the war,
Na Israel ntuanofoɔ bi a wɔn ne Yehohanan babarima Asaria, Mesilemot babarima Berekia, Salum babarima Yehiskia ne Hadlai babarima Amasa penee yei so, na wɔne mmarima a wɔfiri akono reba no kaa sɛ,
13 and said to them, You shall not bring in hither the prisoners to us, for whereas sin against the Lord [is] upon us, you mean to add to our sins, and to our trespass: for our sin [is] great, and the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon Israel.
“Mommfa nneduafoɔ no mma ha! Yɛrentumi mfa nka yɛn bɔne ne yɛn afɔdie ho. Yɛn afɔdie so dada, na wɔadane Awurade abufuhyeɛ no aba Israel so dada.”
14 So the warriors left the prisoners and the spoils before the princes and all the congregation.
Enti, akofoɔ no gyaee nneduafoɔ no de asadeɛ no maeɛ, wɔ ɔmanfoɔ no ne ntuanofoɔ no anim.
15 And the men who were called by name rose up, and took hold of the prisoners, and clothed all the naked from the spoils, and gave them garments and shoes, and gave them [food] to eat, and [oil] to anoint themselves [with], and they helped also every one that was weak with asses, and placed them in Jericho, the city of palm-trees, with their brethren; and they returned to Samaria.
Afei, nnipa baanan a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din no baa anim, bɛkyekyɛɛ ntadeɛ a ɛwɔ asadeɛ no mu no maa nneduafoɔ a wɔda adagya no. Wɔmaa wɔn ntadeɛ ne mpaboa sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne nnuane pii ne nsuo, de ngo guguu wɔn apirakuro mu. Wɔde wɔn a wɔyɛ mmrɛ no tenatenaa mfunumu so, de nneduafoɔ no nyinaa sane baa wɔn asase Yeriko, mmɛkuro, no so. Afei, wɔsane kɔɔ Samaria.
16 At that time king Achaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him, and on this occasion,
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Yudahene Ahas kɔsrɛɛ Asiriahene sɛ ɔmmɛboa no na ɔnkɔko ntia nʼatamfoɔ.
17 because the Idumeans had attacked [him], and struck Juda, and taken a number of prisoners.
Bio, na Edom akodɔm adi Yuda so nkonim, akyekyere binom nnommum.
18 Also the Philistines had made an attack on the cities of the plain country, and the cities of the south of Juda, and taken Baethsamys, and [the things in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes: and they gave to the king] Aelon, and Galero, and Socho and her villages, and Thamna and her villages, and Gamzo and her villages: and they lived there.
Na Filistifoɔ ato ahyɛ nkuro a ɛwɔ Yuda mmepɔ ayaase ne Negeb so. Na wɔako afa Bet-Semes, Ayalon, Gederot ne Soko ne wɔn nkurotoɔ ne Timna ne Gimso ne wɔn nkurotoɔ no. Na Filistifoɔ no tenatenaa saa nkuro yi so.
19 For the Lord humbled Juda because of Achaz king of Juda, because he grievously departed from the Lord.
Na Awurade rebrɛ Yuda ase, ɛsiane Yudahene Ahas enti, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔboa ne nkurɔfoɔ ma wɔyɛ bɔne, na na ɔnni Awurade nokorɛ korakora nso.
20 And there came against him Thalgaphellasar king of Assyria, and he afflicted him.
Enti, ɛberɛ a Asiriahene Tilgat-Pilneser bɛduruiɛ no a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔboa ɔhene Ahas no, ɔhyɛɛ no so mmom.
21 And Achaz took the things [that were] in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria: but he was no help to him,
Ahas tasee nneɛma a ɛsom bo firii Awurade asɔredan no mu, ahemfie hɔ ne ne mpanimfoɔ afie mu, de kɔmaa Asiriahene sɛ ne toɔ. Nanso, yei mpo, ammoa no.
22 but only [troubled him] in his affliction: and he departed yet more from the Lord, and king Achaz said,
Na sɛ ɔhaw bi ba ɔhene Ahas so mpo a, ɔkɔ so yɛ asoɔden ma Awurade.
23 I will seek after the gods of Damascus that strike me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling block to him, and to all Israel.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Damasko anyame a wɔdii ne so nkonim no, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Saa anyame yi na wɔboaa Aram ahemfo enti, sɛ mebɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn a, wɔbɛboa me nso.” Nanso, wɔmaa no sɛeeɛ, ma Israel nyinaa sɛeeɛ.
24 And Achaz removed the vessels of the house of the Lord, and cut them in pieces, and shut the doors of the house of the Lord, and made to himself altars in every corner in Jerusalem:
Ɔhene no tasee nneɛma ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu nyinaa, bubuu mu asinasini. Ɔtotoo Awurade asɔredan no apono mu, sɛdeɛ obiara ntumi nkɔsom wɔ hɔ. Ɔsisii afɔrebukyia maa abosonsom anyame wɔ Yerusalem twɛtwɛwa so baabiara.
25 and in each several city in Juda he made high places to burn incense to strange gods: and they provoked the Lord God of their fathers.
Ɔyɛɛ abosonsom asɔreeɛ wɔ Yuda nkuro nyinaa so a wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ hɔ ma anyame foforɔ no. Ɔnam saa ɛkwan yi so, hyɛɛ Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn, abufuo.
26 And the rest of his acts, and his deeds, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Ahas ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ no firi ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nwoma mu.
27 And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; for they did not bring him into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
Ɔhene Ahas wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ Yerusalem, nanso wɔansie no wɔ adehyeɛ amusieeɛ. Ne babarima Hesekia na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
