Kings IV 21
1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
Ɛberɛ a Manase dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ dumienu, na ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum enum. Na ne maame din de Hefsiba.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from 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 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsane sisii abosonsomfoɔ abosonnan a nʼagya Hesekia bubu guiɛ no. Ɔyɛɛ afɔrebukyia pii maa Baal, ɛnna ɔsii Asera dua, sɛdeɛ Israelhene Ahab yɛeɛ ara pɛ. Afei, ɔkoto sɔree ewiem atumfoɔ.
4 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
Na mpo, ɔsisii abosom afɔrebukyia pii wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu; baabi a Awurade aka sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne din animuonyam no.
5 And he built an altar 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.
6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Na mpo, Manase de ɔno ankasa babarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya mu. Na ɔyɛ abayisɛm, kɔ abisa. Ɔkɔɔ asamanfrɛfoɔ hɔ ne asumanfoɔ so. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree Awurade ani so, ma ɛhyɛɛ no abufuo.
7 And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I even place my name for ever.
Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no, de kɔsii asɔredan mu, beaeɛ korɔ no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo sɛ, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din animuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kuro a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
Na sɛ Israelfoɔ bɛtie mʼahyɛdeɛ a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asuo mfiri asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Nanso, nnipa no antie. Manase dii wɔn anim, ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree a ɛsene abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee no ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ kɔɔ saa asase no so no mpo.
10 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
Awurade nam nʼasomfoɔ a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifoɔ so kaa sɛ,
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
“Yudahene Manase ayɛ akyiwadeɛ bebree. Na mpo, ɔyɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sene Amorifoɔ a wɔbɛtenaa asase yi so ansa na Israel reba no. Wadi Yudafoɔ anim, de wɔn akɔ ahonisom mu.
12 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
Enti, sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: Mede ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bɛto Yerusalem ne Yuda so ama aso a ɛbɛte saa nsɛm no mu ayɛ no gyenn.
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
Mɛfa ɛkwan a menam so buu Samaria ne Ahab abusua atɛn no so mabu Yerusalem atɛn. Mɛpepa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, te sɛ deɛ obi hohoro ayowaa mu, na ɔdane butu no.
14 And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
Na mpo, mɛpo me nkurɔfoɔ kakra a wɔaka no, na mede wɔn bɛma wɔn atamfoɔ sɛ asadeɛ.
15 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔayɛ bɔne kɛseɛ wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuo, firi ɛberɛ a wɔn agyanom firii Misraim no.”
16 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Manase kunkumm nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kɔsii sɛ, mogya a ɛdi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, firi tire kɔsi tire. Yei ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafoɔ no yɛ de wɔn kɔɔ bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no Awurade ani so no ho.
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Manase ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa ne bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
Manase wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ahemfie no turo a na ɛyɛ Usa dea no mu. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
19 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
Amon dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu mmienu. Ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Mesulemet a na ɔyɛ Harus a ɔfiri Yolba no babaa.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Manase yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
Ɔfaa nʼagya nhwɛsoɔ so, somm ahoni korɔ no ara a na nʼagya somm wɔn no.
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Ɔgyaa Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn no na wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛfa Awurade akwan so.
23 And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
Na Amon no ankasa asomfoɔ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ, kumm no wɔ nʼahemfie.
24 And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kunkumm nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔ no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
25 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Amon ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
26 And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
Wɔsiee no wɔ ne boda a ɛwɔ Usa turo mu hɔ no mu. Na ne babarima Yosia dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
