Chronicles II 33
1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Manase dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dumienu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum enum.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord destroyed from before the face of 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 And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to 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 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name 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 to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Ɔsisii saa afɔrebukyia no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adihɔ mmienu hɔ, de maa ewiem nsoromma no.
6 He also passed his children through the fire in the valley of Benennom; and he divined, and used auspices, and sorceries, and appointed those who had divining spirits, and enchanters, and wrought abundant wickedness before the Lord, to provoke him.
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 the graven [image], the molten [statue], the idol which he made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will 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 and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will take heed to do all things which I have commanded them, according to all the law and the ordinances and the judgments [given] 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 Manasses led astray Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations which the Lord cast out from 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 the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they listened not.
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Manase ne ne nkurɔfoɔ no, nanso wɔantie ne kɔkɔbɔ no mu biara.
11 And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasses in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought 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 afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God 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 he prayed to him: and he listened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.
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 And afterward he built a wall without the city of David, from the southwest southward in the valleys and at the entrance through the fish-gate, as men go out by the gate round about, even as far as Opel: and he raised it much, and set captains of the host in all the fortified cities in Juda.
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 removed the strange gods, and the graven [image] out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars which he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and without 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 the Lord, and offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God 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 still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.
Nanso, na ɔmanfoɔ no gu so bɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ abosonsom asɔreeɛ so. Nanso, na wɔbɔ ma Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn ara.
18 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God 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 behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] listened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books 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 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his 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 twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Amon dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmienu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu.
22 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasses did: and Amon sacrificed to all the idols which his father Manasses 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 he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
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 killed him in his house.
Akyire yi, Amon no ara mpanimfoɔ pamm ne tiri so, kumm no wɔ nʼahemfie.
25 And the people of the land killed the men who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josias 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.
