2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah [was] a son of twenty-five years [when] he has reigned, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
Amasia dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii adeɛ mfirinhyia aduonu nkron wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame din de Yehoadan a ɔfiri Yerusalem.
2 and he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH—only, not with a perfect heart.
Amasia yɛɛ deɛ ɛtene wɔ Awurade ani, nanso na ɛmfiri nʼakoma nyinaa mu.
3 And it comes to pass, when the kingdom has been strong on him, that he slays his servants, those striking his father the king,
Ɛberɛ a Amasia timiiɛ wɔ nʼahennie mu yie no, ɔkunkumm mmarima a wɔkumm nʼagya no.
4 and he has not put their sons to death, but [did] as is written in the Law, in the Scroll of Moses, whom YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers do not die for sons, and sons do not die for fathers, but they each die for his own sin.”
Nanso, wankunkum awudifoɔ no mma, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔtiee Awurade ahyɛdeɛ a wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose mmara nwoma no mu no sɛ: Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkunkum awofoɔ wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ enti, anaa wɔkunkum mma wɔ awofoɔ bɔne a wɔayɛ enti. Wɔn a wɔsɛ owuo no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum wɔn wɔ wɔn nnebɔne enti.
5 And Amaziah gathers Judah and appoints them according to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands and for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he inspects them from a son of twenty years and upward, and finds them [to be] three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to the host, holding spear and buckler.
Ade foforɔ a Amasia yɛeɛ ne sɛ, ɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛeɛ foforɔ wɔ akodɔm no mu, de ntuanofoɔ tuatuaa Yuda ne Benyamin mmusua no mu biara ano. Afei, ɔkanee wɔn hunuu sɛ nʼakodɔm no dodoɔ ano si mmarima ɔpehasa a ɛyɛ wɔn a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ, na wɔatete wɔn nyinaa wɔ peatoɔ ne nkataboɔkura mu.
6 And he hires out of Israel one hundred thousand mighty men of valor, with one hundred talents of silver;
Ɔsane tuaa dwetɛ tɔno 3.4 sɛ apaabɔdeɛ maa Israel mmarima ɔpeha a wɔnim akodie yie.
7 and a man of God has come to him, saying, “O king, the host of Israel does not go with you; for YHWH is not with Israel—all the sons of Ephraim;
Nanso, Onyankopɔn onipa baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Ao ɔhene, ntua sika mfa akodɔm mfiri Israel, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nka Israel ho. Ɔremmoa saa nnipa a wɔfiri Efraim no.
8 but if you are going, do [it], be strong for battle, God causes you to stumble before an enemy, for there is power in God to help, and to cause to stumble.”
Sɛ woma wɔkɔka wʼakodɔm ho kɔ ɔko, na moko sɛ ɛdeɛn ara a, wɔbɛdi mo so nkonim. Onyankopɔn bɛtu mo agu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɔboa anaa ɔsɛe.”
9 And Amaziah says to the man of God, “But what to do about the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?” And the man of God says, “YHWH has more to give to you than this.”
Amasia bisaa Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ, “Na dwetɛ a metua kɔbɔɔ Israel akodɔm paa no nso menyɛ no ɛdeɛn?” Onyankopɔn onipa no buaa sɛ, “Awurade bɛtumi ama wo deɛ ɛsene sei koraa.”
10 And Amaziah separates them, of the troop that has come to him from Ephraim, to go to their own place; and their anger burns mightily against Judah, and they return to their place in the heat of anger.
Enti, Amasia pɔnn akodɔm a ɔbɔɔ wɔn paa no, maa wɔsane kɔɔ Efraim. Yei maa wɔn bo fuu Yuda, na wɔsane de abufuhyeɛ kɔɔ efie.
11 And Amaziah has strengthened himself, and leads his people, and goes to the Valley of Salt, and strikes ten thousand of the sons of Seir.
Na Amasia sii ne bo, dii nʼakodɔm anim, kɔɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa no mu. Ɛhɔ na wɔkumm Edomfoɔ akodɔm a wɔfiri Seir no ɔpedu.
12 And the sons of Judah have taken captive ten thousand alive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been broken.
Wɔkyekyeree ɔpedu bio de wɔn kɔɔ abotan tenten bi atifi, kɔsunsumm wɔn ma wɔbɛhwee abotan a ɛwɔ bepɔ no ase no so, tetee pasapasa.
13 And the sons of the troop that Amaziah has sent back from going with him to battle—they rush against cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth-Horon, and strike three thousand of them, and seize much prey.
Na akodɔm a Amasia kɔbɔɔ wɔn paa a ɔma wɔsane kɔeɛ no tohyɛɛ Yuda nkuro bebree a ɛwɔ Samaria ne Bet-Horon ntam no so. Wɔkunkumm nnipa mpensa, tasee asadeɛ bebree.
14 And it comes to pass after the coming in of Amaziah from striking the Edomites, that he brings in the gods of the sons of Seir, and establishes them for gods for himself, and bows himself before them, and he makes incense to them.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Amasia dii Edomfoɔ so a ɔreba no, ɔde ahoni a ɔtase firii Seirfoɔ nkyɛn kaa ne ho baeɛ. Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ sɛ ɔno ankasa anyame, kotoo wɔn anim, bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa wɔn.
15 And the anger of YHWH burns against Amaziah, and He sends a prophet to him, and he says to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of your hand?”
Yei hyɛɛ Awurade abufuo yie enti, ɔsomaa odiyifoɔ sɛ ɔnkɔbisa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wosom anyame a mpo wɔntumi nnye wɔn ankasa nkurɔfoɔ nkwa mfiri wɔn nsam?”
16 And it comes to pass, in his speaking to him, that he says to him, “Have we appointed you for a counselor to the king? For you [must] cease; why do they strike you?” And the prophet ceases and says, “I have known that God has counseled to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
Nanso, ɔhene no amma nʼano ansi, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Da bɛn na mebisaa wo afotuo? Mua wʼano na mankum wo!” Enti, ansa na odiyifoɔ no rebɛkɔ no, ɔbɔɔ saa kɔkɔ yi, “Menim sɛ ɛsiane sɛ woayɛ saa enti, Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wo, ɛfiri sɛ, woantie mʼafotuo.”
17 And Amaziah king of Judah takes counsel, and sends to Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Akyire a Yudahene Amasia kɔɔ nʼafotufoɔ nkyɛn kɔbisaa afotuo no, ɔde sii Israelhene Yoas a na ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima, na ɔyɛ Yehu nana nso anim sɛ, “Bra na yɛnni ako.”
18 “Come, we look one another in the face.” And Joash king of Israel sends to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn that [is] in Lebanon has sent to the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife; and a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon passes by and treads down the thorn.
Na Israelhene Yoas de abasɛm buaa Yudahene Amasia sɛ, “Nkasɛɛ a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔ so somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ dutan ntweneduro nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Fa wo babaa ma me babarima awadeɛ.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi firi wiram bɛtiatiaa nkasɛɛ no so sɛee no.
19 You have said, Behold, I have struck Edom; and your heart has lifted you up to boast; now, abide in your house, why do you stir yourself up in evil, that you have fallen, you and Judah with you?”
Nokorɛm, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdie no, na tena wo fie. Adɛn enti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafoɔ nyinaa so yi?”
20 And Amaziah has not listened, for it [is] from God in order to give them into [their] hand, because they have sought the gods of Edom;
Amasia yɛɛ asoɔden, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn resiesie ɛkwan bi afa so asɛe no, sɛ ɔsomm Edom anyame no enti.
21 and Joash king of Israel goes up, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah’s,
Na Israelhene Yoas, boaboaa nʼakodɔm ano kɔtiaa Yudahene Amasia. Akodɔm mmienu no hyiaa wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
22 and Judah is struck before Israel, and they flee—each to his tents.
Israel akodɔm dii Yuda so nkonim, maa wɔbɔɔ ahweteɛ, dwane kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
23 And Joash king of Israel has caught Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, in Beth-Shemesh, and brings him to Jerusalem, and breaks down in the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate—four hundred cubits,
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes, na ɔsane de no baa Yerusalem. Afei, Yehoas hyɛɛ nʼakodɔm sɛ, wɔnsɛe Yerusalem ɔfasuo no anammɔn ahansia a ɛfiri Efraim ɛpono ano, kɔsi Twɛtwɛwa Ɛpono no ano.
24 and [takes] all the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turns back to Samaria.
Ɔtasee sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ ne nneɛma ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu a na Obed-Edom hwɛ so no nyinaa. Afei, ɔfaa adekoradan a na ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ mu nneɛma kaa nnommumfoɔ no ho, na ɔsane kɔɔ Samaria.
25 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lives after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;
Israelhene Yoas owuo akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfirinhyia dunum.
26 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the last, behold, are they not written on the scrolls of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Amasia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ a ɛfiri ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nwoma mu.
27 And from the time that Amaziah has turned aside from after YHWH—they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he flees to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,
Amasia danee ne ho firii Awurade akyi no, wɔpamm ne tiri so wɔ Yerusalem. Ɛno enti, ɔdwane kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfoɔ somaa awudifoɔ, tii no kɔkumm no wɔ hɔ.
28 and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Wɔde no too ɔpɔnkɔ so baa Yerusalem bɛsiee no kaa nʼagyanom ho wɔ Dawid kurom.
