Kings IV 8
1 And Elisaie spoke to the woman, whose son he [had] restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your house, and sojourn wherever you may sojourn: for the Lord has called for a famine upon the land; indeed it is come upon the land [for] seven years.
Na Elisa aka akyerɛ ɔbea a onyan ne ba no se, “Wo ne wo fifo ntu nkɔ baabi foforo, efisɛ Awurade ahyɛ sɛ ɔkɔm mmra Israel mfe ason.”
2 And the woman arose, and did according to the word of Elisaie, both she and her house; and they sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Enti ɔbea no yɛɛ sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛe no. Ɔfaa ne fifo kɔtenaa Filistifo asase so mfe ason.
3 And it came to pass after the expiration of the seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines to the city; and came to cry to the king for her house and for her lands.
Ɔkɔm no twaa mu no, ɔsan baa Israel asase so, kohuu ɔhene no sɛ ɔregye ne fi ne nʼasase.
4 And the king spoke to Giezi the servant of Elisaie the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray you, all the great things which Elisaie has done.
Na ɔhene no ne Gehasi a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no somfo rekasa. Na ɔhene no rebisa se: Ka nneɛma akɛse a Elisa ayɛ no bi kyerɛ me.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life the dead son, behold, the woman whose son Elisaie restored to life [came] crying to the king for her house and for her lands. And Giezi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisaie restored to life.
Saa bere no ara na na Gehasi reka nyan a Elisa nyan abarimaa bi no ho asɛm akyerɛ no. Bere koro no ara mu na abarimaa no na kɔɔ ɔhene no anim, kɔsrɛɛ ɔhene no se ɔmfa ne fi ne ne dan mma no no. Gehasi teɛɛ mu se, “Hwɛ, me wura! Ɔbea no ni na, na ne babarima a Elisa nyan no no nso ni!”
6 And the king asked the woman, and she told him: and the king appointed her a eunuch, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field from the day that she left the land until now.
Ɔhene no bisaa ɔbea no se, “Ɛyɛ nokware ana?” Ɔbea no buae se ɛyɛ ampa. Enti ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu baako se ɔnhwɛ na biribiara a wahwere no, wɔmfa mma no. Ne nnɔbae a wotwae a na onni hɔ nyinaa, wɔde maa no.
7 And Elisaie came to Damascus; and the king of Syria the son of Ader was ill, and they brought him word, saying, The man of God is come here.
Na Elisa kɔɔ Damasko a ɛyɛ Aram kuropɔn no mu a na ɔhene Ben-Hadad yare da no. Obi ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Onyankopɔn nipa no aba hɔ,”
8 And the king said to Azael, Take in your hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, and enquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this my disease?
na ɔka kyerɛɛ Hasael se, “Fa akyɛde kɔma Onyankopɔn nipa no. Na ka kyerɛ no, na ommisa Awurade se, ‘Me ho bɛtɔ me bio ana?’”
9 And Azael went to meet him, and he took a present in his hand, and all the good things of Damascus, forty camels' load, and came and stood before him, and said to Elisaie, Your son the son of Ader, the king of Syria, has sent me to you to enquire, saying, Shall I recover of this my disease?
Na Hasael hyehyɛɛ yoma aduanan so nnepa a efi Damasko, sɛ akyɛde a ɔde rekɔma Elisa. Ɔkɔɔ ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo somfo Ben-Hadad a ɔyɛ Aramhene asoma me wo nkyɛn se mimmebisa se, ‘Menya ahotɔ ana?’”
10 And Elisaie said, Go, say, You shall certainly live; yet the Lord has showed me that you shall surely die.
Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Wubenya ahotɔ.’ Nanso Awurade ada no adi akyerɛ me sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, obewu.”
11 And he stood before him, and fixed [his countenance] till he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
Elisa hwɛɛ Hasael anim, kosii sɛ Hasael yɛɛ basaa. Na Onyankopɔn nipa no fii ase sui.
12 And Azael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know all the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: you will utterly destroy their strong holds with fire, and you will kill their choice men with the sword, and you will dash their infants [against the ground], and their women with child you will rip up.
Hasael bisae se, “Adɛn na me wura resu?” Elisa buae se, “Efisɛ minim bɔne a wobɛyɛ Israelfo. Wobɛhyew wɔn nkurow a wɔabobɔ ho ban, akunkum wɔn mmerante, de wɔn mma nketewa adwiradwira fam, apaapae apemfo yafunu!”
13 And Azael said, Who is your servant? a dead dog, that he should do this thing? And Elisaie said, The Lord has shown me you ruling over Syria.
Na Hasael buae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na me a mensɛ hwee yi, betumi adi dwuma kɛse a ɛte sɛɛ yi?” Elisa buae se, “Awurade akyerɛ me se, wo na wobɛyɛ Aramhene.”
14 And he departed from Elisaie, and went in to his lord; and he said to him, What said Elisaie to you? and he said, He said to me, You shall surely live.
Bere a Hasael san kɔe no, ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ wo?” Hasael buae se, “Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, wo ho bɛyɛ wo den.”
15 And it came to pass on the next day that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and put it on his face, and he died: and Azael reigned in his stead.
Nanso ade kyee no, Hasael faa ntama a mu yɛ duru, de nuu nsu mu, de kataa ɔhene no anim, kosii sɛ owui. Na Hasael sii nʼanan mu sɛ Aramhene.
16 In the fifth year of Joram son of Achaab king of Israel, and while Josaphat was king of Juda, Joram the son of Josaphat king of Juda began to reign.
Ɔhene Yehosafat babarima Yehoram bedii Yuda so bere a ɔhene Yoram adi ade wɔ Israel mfe anum. Na Yoram yɛ Ahab babarima.
17 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Bere a Yehoram dii hene no, na wadi mfe aduasa abien. Odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia awotwe.
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for the daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Nanso Yehoram dii Israel ahemfo anammɔn akyi. Na ɔyɛ omumɔyɛfo te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, efisɛ na waware Ahab mmabea no mu baako. Na Yehoram yɛɛ nea na ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
19 But the Lord would not destroy Juda for David his servant's sake, as he said he would give a light to him and to his sons continually.
Nanso na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda, efisɛ na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam, ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefo na wɔbɛkɔ so adi ɔman no so afebɔɔ.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Juda, and they made a king over themselves.
Yehoram bere so na Edomfo sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wosii wɔn ankasa wɔn hene.
21 And Joram went up to Sior, and all the chariots that were with him: and it came to pass after he had arisen, that he struck Edom who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
Enti Yehoram faa ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa, kɔtow hyɛɛ Sair kurow so. Edomfo twaa ɔne ne nteaseɛnamkafo ho hyiae, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum no mu guanee. Yehoram asraafo nso guanee.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Juda till this day. Then Lobna revolted at that time.
Edom atew Yuda so atua de besi nnɛ. Saa bere no ara mu na Libna kurow nso sɔre tiae.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Nsɛm a esisii wɔ Yehoram ahenni mu ne nea ɔyɛe nyinaa no wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
24 So Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David: and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
Bere a Yehoram wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Ahasia na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram son of Achaab king of Israel, Ochozias son of Joram began to reign.
Yehoram babarima Ahasia fii ase dii hene wɔ Yuda wɔ ɔhene Yoram adedi wɔ Israel ne mfe dumien mu no mu. Na Ahab babarima ne ɔhene Yoram no.
26 Twenty and two years old [was] Ochozias when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother [was] Gotholia, daughter of Ambri king of Israel.
Bere a Ahasia dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu abien, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem afe. Ne na ne Atalia a na ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nena.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Achaab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Achaab.
Ahasia dii amumɔyɛsɛm, dii bɔne a ɔhene Ahab fifo yɛe no anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ amumɔyɛsɛm wɔ Awurade ani so, efisɛ wɔbɔɔ ne din bataa aware a ɔkɔwaree Ahabfini no ho.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Achaab to war against Azael king of the Syrians in Remmoth Galaad; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ Israelhene Yoram ho wɔ ne ko a ɔko tiaa Aramhene Hasael wɔ Ramot-Gilead no.
29 And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds with which they wounded him in Remmoth, when he fought with Azael king of Syria. And Ochozias son of Joram went down to see Joram the son of Achaab in Jezrael, because he was sick.
Bere a wopiraa ɔhene Yoram wɔ ɔko no mu no, ɔsan baa Yesreel sɛ ɔrebɛsa nʼapirakuru no. Bere a Yoram wɔ hɔ no, Yudahene Ahasia kɔsraa no.
