< Kings IV 15 >

1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel Azarias the son of Amessias king of Juda began to reign.
Ɛberɛ a Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu di adeɛ wɔ Israel no, ne mfeɛ aduonu nson so na Amasia babarima Asaria hyɛɛ aseɛ dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda.
2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Ɔbɛdii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ dunsia. Na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum mmienu. Na ne maame din de Yekolia a ɔfiri Yerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all things that Amessias his father did.
Na ɔtene wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Amasia teɛ no.
4 Only he took not away [any] of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Wammubu abosonnan no enti, na ne nkurɔfoɔ no kɔ hɔ kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, hye nnuhwam.
5 And the Lord plagued the king, and he was leprous till the day of his death; and he reigned in a separate house. And Joatham the king's son [was] over the household, judging the people of the land.
Awurade maa kwata yɛɛ ɔhene no, kɔsii da a ɔwuiɛ. Ne saa enti, na ɔno nko te efie bi mu. Yotam a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no babarima na ɔhwɛɛ ahemfie no so, na ɔdii nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so so.
6 And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Na Asaria adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
7 And Azarias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Asaria wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuro mu. Na ne babarima Yotam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azarias king of Juda Zacharias the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
Yudahene Asaria dii adeɛ ne mfeɛ aduasa nwɔtwe mu no na Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu babarima Sakaria nso dii adeɛ Israel wɔ Samaria. Ɔdii adeɛ abosome nsia.
9 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagyanom yɛeɛ no. Wamfiri ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam maa Israelfoɔ someeɛ no ho.
10 And Sellum the son of Jabis [and others] conspired against him, and they struck him [in] Keblaam, and killed him, and he reigned in his stead.
Na Yabes babarima Salum bɔɔ pɔ, de tiaa Sakaria, kumm no wɔ badwam, dii akonnwa no.
11 And the rest of the acts of Zacharias, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Sakaria dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nkaeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
12 [This was] the word of the Lord which he spoke to Ju, saying, Your sons of the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel: and it was so.
Enti, Awurade asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ, Yehu sɛ, “Wʼasefoɔ na wɔbɛyɛ Israel ahemfo akɔsi awontoatoasoɔ a ɛtɔ so ɛnan” mu no, baa mu.
13 And Sellum the son of Jabis reigned: and in the thirty and ninth year of Azarias king of Juda began Sellum to reign a full month in Samaria.
Yabes babarima Salum bɛdii Israel so ɔhene no, na ɛyɛ Yudahene Usia adedie mfeɛ aduasa nkron mu. Salum dii adeɛ Samaria bosome baako pɛ.
14 And Manaem the son of Gaddi went up out of Tharsila, and came to Samaria, and struck Sellum the son of Jabis in Samaria, and killed him.
Afei, Gadi babarima Menahem firii Tirsa kɔɔ Samaria. Ɔkɔto hyɛɛ Yabes babarima Salum so kumm no, na ɔtenaa akonnwa no so.
15 And the rest of the acts of Sellum, and his conspiracy wherein he was engaged, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Salum ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne pɔ a ɔbɔeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
16 Then Manaem struck both Thersa and all that was in it, and its borders extending beyond Thersa, because they opened not to him: and he struck it, and ripped up the women with child.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Menahem firii Tirsa kɔtoaa Tifsa ne obiara a ɔwɔ hɔ ne ne nkurotoɔ nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔfoɔ no ampene so sɛ wɔde kuro no bɛma. Ɔkunkumm kuro no mu nnipa nyinaa, paapae emu apemfoɔ nyinaa yafunu mu.
17 In the thirty and ninth year of Azarias king of Juda began Manaem the son of Gaddi to reign over Israel in Samaria ten years.
Gadi babarima Menahem hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israelhene ɛberɛ a na Usia adi adeɛ Yuda ne mfeɛ aduasa nkron so. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Samaria mfirinhyia edu.
18 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
Nanso, Menahem yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Nʼahennie mu nyinaa, wannyae bɔne a ɛyɛ ahonisom no a na Nebat babarima Yeroboam adi Israelfoɔ anim de wɔn asom no.
19 In his days went up Phua king of the Assyrians against the land: and Manaem gave to Phua a thousand talents of silver to aid him with his power.
Afei, Asiriahene Pul bɛdii asase no so. Na Menahem tuaa dwetɛ nkariboɔ tɔno aduasa nson no sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtaa nʼakyi ama nʼahennie no atim.
20 And Manaem raised the silver [by a tax] upon Israel, even on every mighty man in wealth, to give to the king of the Assyrians, fifty shekels [levied] on each man; and the king of the Assyrians departed, and remained not there in the land.
Menahem nam apoobɔ so gyegyee Israel asikafoɔ no mu biara nkyɛn dwetɛ gram ahanum aduɔson sɛ akwabrantoɔ. Ɛno enti, Asiriahene ankɔto anhyɛ Israel so, na wantena asase no so nso.
21 And the rest of the acts of Manaem, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Na Menahem adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
22 And Manaem slept with his fathers; and Phakesias his son reigned in his stead.
Ɛberɛ a Menahem wuiɛ no, ne babarima Pekahia na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
23 In the fifties year of Azarias king of Juda, began Phakesias the son of Manaem to reign over Israel in Samaria two years.
Menahem babarima Pekahia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israelhene wɔ Yudahene Usia ahennie ne mfeɛ aduonum so. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Samaria mfeɛ mmienu.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Nanso, Pekahia yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfiri ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israelfoɔ anim, ma wɔsomeeɛ no ho.
25 And Phakee the son of Romelias, his officer, conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria in the front of the king's house, with Argob and Aria, and with him [there were] fifty men of the four hundred: and he killed him, and reigned in his stead.
Na Remalia babarima Peka a na ɔyɛ Pekahia asraadɔm sahene no bɔɔ pɔ tiaa no. Ɔfaa mmarima aduonum firii Gilead, kaa ne ho, kɔkumm ɔhene no ne Argob ne Arie wɔ Samaria ahemfie abankɛsewa mu. Peka na afei ɔbɛdii ɔhene wɔ Israel.
26 And the rest of the acts of Phakesias, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Pekahia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
27 In the fifty-second year of Azarias king of Juda began Phakee the son of Romelias to reign over Israel in Samaria twenty years.
Remalia babarima Peka bɛdii ɔhene Israel wɔ ɛberɛ a na Usia adi ɔhene wɔ Yuda mfeɛ aduonum mmienu. Ɔdii adeɛ Samaria mfirinhyia aduonu.
28 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
Nanso, Peka yɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfiri ahonisom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israel anim, ma wɔsomeeɛ no ho.
29 In the days of Phakee king of Israel came Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, and took Ain, and Abel, and Thamaacha, and Anioch, and Kenez, and Asor, and Galaa, and Galilee, [even] all the land of Nephthali, and carried them away to the Assyrians.
Peka ahennie so no, Asiriahene Tiglat-Pileser kɔtuaa Israelfoɔ bio, faa nkuro Iyon ne Abel-Bet-Maaka ne Yanoa ne Kedes ne Hasor ne Gilead ne Galilea ne Naftali nsase nyinaa. Na ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum kɔɔ Asiria.
30 And Osee son of Ela formed a conspiracy against Phakee the son of Romelias, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Joatham the son of Azarias.
Na Ela babarima Hosea bɔɔ pɔ tiaa Peka, na ɔkumm no. Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israel so ɔhene ɛberɛ a na Usia babarima Yotam nso adi adeɛ mfeɛ aduonu wɔ Yuda.
31 And the rest of the acts of Phakee, and all that he did, behold, these [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Peka adedie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
32 In the second year of Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel began Joatham the son of Azarias king of Juda to reign.
Usia babarima Yotam dii ɔhene wɔ Yuda ɛberɛ a na ɔhene Peka adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfirinhyia mmienu.
33 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa daughter of Sadoc.
Ɔdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii Yerusalem so ɔhene mfeɛ dunsia. Na ne maame a ɔyɛ Sadok babaa no din de Yerusa.
34 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all things that his father Azarias did.
Yotam yɛɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Usia yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
35 Nevertheless he took not away the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. He built the upper gate of the Lord's house.
Nanso, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa no bɔ afɔdeɛ hye nnuhwam wɔ hɔ no. Ɔno ne obi a ɔsane sii Awurade Asɔredan no atifi ɛpono.
36 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Yotam ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne deɛ ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
37 In those days the Lord began to send forth against Juda Raasson king of Syria, and Phakee son of Romelias.
Saa mmerɛ no mu, Awurade hyɛɛ aseɛ somaa Aramhene Resin ne Israelhene Peka, sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yuda so.
38 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Ɛberɛ a Yotam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuro mu. Na ne babarima Ahas bɛdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
