2 Chronicles 36
1 And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
Afei, nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no sii Yosia babarima Yehoahas ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem,
Ɛberɛ a Yehoahas dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmiɛnsa nanso, ɔdii adeɛ abosome mmiɛnsa pɛ.
3 and the king of Egypt turns him aside in Jerusalem, and fines the land one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;
Misraimhene Neko a na ɔhwehwɛ apeatoɔ a ɛyɛ dwetɛ tɔno mmiɛnsa ne fa ne sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduasa ɛnan afiri Yuda no na ɔtuu no adeɛ so.
4 and the king of Egypt causes his brother Eliakim to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turns his name to Jehoiakim; and Necho has taken his brother Jehoahaz and brings him to Egypt.
Misraimhene yii Yehoahas nuabarima Eliakim sɛ ɔhene foforɔ a ɔbɛdi Yuda ne Yerusalem so, na ɔsesaa Eliakim din yɛɛ no Yehoiakim. Na Neko faa Yehoahas sɛ ɔdeduani de no kɔɔ Misraim.
5 Jehoiakim [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH;
Yehoiakim dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfirinhyia dubaako. Nanso, ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn ani so.
6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up against him, and binds him in bronze chains to take him away to Babylon.
Afei, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar kɔɔ Yerusalem, kɔko faeɛ. Ɔde nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guu Yehoiakim de no kɔɔ Babilonia.
7 And Nebuchadnezzar has brought from the vessels of the house of YHWH to Babylon, and puts them in his temple in Babylon.
Nebukadnessar faa ademudeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu bi, de kɔguu nʼahemfie wɔ Babilonia.
8 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he has done, and that which is found against him, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah, and his son Jehoiachin reigns in his stead.
Yehoiakim ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, bɔne ahodoɔ a ɔyɛeɛ ne biribiara a wɔhunu tiaa no no wɔatwerɛ, agu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo Nwoma mu. Na ne babarima Yehoiakyin bɛdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
9 Jehoiachin [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH;
Yehoiakyin bɛdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dunwɔtwe, nanso ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem abosome mmiɛnsa ne dadu pɛ. Yehoiakyin yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
10 and at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar has sent and brings him to Babylon with the desirable vessels of the house of YHWH, and causes his brother Zedekiah to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.
Afe a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan mu no, ɔhene Nebukadnessar frɛɛ Yehoiakyin sɛ ɔmmra Babilonia. Wɔfaa ademudeɛ bebree firii Awurade Asɔredan no mu de kɔɔ Babilonia saa ɛberɛ no. Na Nebukadnessar yii Yehoiakyin wɔfa Sedekia, sɛ ɔnni ɔhene wɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem.
11 Zedekiah [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem;
Ɛberɛ a Sedekia bɛdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu baako, na ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dubaako.
12 and he does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH, he has not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of YHWH;
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn ani so, na wammrɛ ne ho ase wɔ odiyifoɔ Yeremia a na ɔkasa ma Awurade no anim.
13 and he has also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardens his neck and strengthens his heart against turning back to YHWH, God of Israel.
Afei, ɔsɔre tiaa ɔhene Nebukadnessar wɔ ɛberɛ a na waka ntam adi nse wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu sɛ, ɔbɛdi no nokorɛ. Na Sedekia yɛ kyenkyenee ne asoɔden, na wampɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho bɛbata Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ho.
14 Also, all the heads of the priests and the people have multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of YHWH that He has sanctified in Jerusalem.
Asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ nyinaa ne ɔmanfoɔ no kɔɔ so yɛɛ mmaratofoɔ. Wɔyɛɛ abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ aman a atwa ahyia hɔ no nneyɛeɛ no bi, na wɔguu Awurade Asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ho fi.
15 And YHWH, God of their fathers, sends to them by the hand of His messengers—rising early and sending—for He has had pity on His people and on His habitation,
Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn, somaa nʼadiyifoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ wɔn kɔkɔ mpɛn bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma ne nkurɔfoɔ ne nʼAsɔredan no.
16 but they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, until the going up of the fury of YHWH against His people—until there is no healing.
Nanso, nnipa no dii saa Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ no ho fɛ, amfa wɔn nsɛm no anyɛ hwee. Wɔdii adiyifoɔ no ho fɛ ara kɔsii sɛ Awurade abufuhyeɛ turiiɛ a biribiara antumi annwodwo ano.
17 And He causes the king of the Chaldeans to go up against them, and he slays their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and has had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged—He has given the whole into his hand.
Enti, Awurade de Babiloniahene ba bɛko tiaa wɔn. Babiloniafoɔ no kunkumm Yuda mmabunu maa mpo, wɔtaa wɔn kɔɔ Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔannya ahummɔborɔ amma nnipa no. Wɔkunkumm mmɔfra ne mpanin, mmarima ne mmaa, ahoɔdenfoɔ ne ayarefoɔ. Onyankopɔn de wɔn nyinaa maa Nebukadnessar.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king and of his princes—he has brought the whole to Babylon.
Ɔhene no sane sesaa nneɛma no nyinaa, akɛseɛ ne nketewa a na wɔde som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu, ne ademudeɛ a na ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu ne ahemfie hɔ nyinaa de kɔɔ Babilonia. Ɔde mmapɔmma nyinaa nso kɔeɛ.
19 And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and they have burned all its palaces with fire, and all its desirable vessels—to destruction.
Afei, nʼakodɔm no too Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu ogya, bubuu Yerusalem afasuo no, hyee ahemfie no nyinaa, sɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ boɔ no.
20 And he removes those left of the sword to Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, until the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,
Nnipa kakra a wɔkaeɛ no, wɔsoaa wɔn kɔɔ Babilonia, maa wɔkɔyɛɛ ɔhene no ne ne mmammarima asomfoɔ kɔsii sɛ Persia ahennie bɛdii tumi.
21 to fulfill the word of YHWH in the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land has enjoyed its Sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept Sabbath—to the fullness of seventy years.
Enti, Awurade asɛm a wɔfaa Yeremia so kaeɛ no baa mu. Afei, asase no nso nyaa nʼahomegyeɛ, ɛdaa mpan mfirinhyia aduɔson sɛdeɛ odiyifoɔ no kaeɛ no.
22 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of YHWH in the mouth of Jeremiah, YHWH has awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
Persiahene Kores adedie afe a ɛdi ɛkan mu no, Awurade maa odiyifoɔ Yeremia nkɔmhyɛ baa mu. Ɔkaa Kores akoma ma ɔtwerɛ bɔɔ no dawuro wɔ nʼahennie nyinaa mu sɛ,
23 “Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem which [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? His God YHWH [is] with him, and he goes up!”
“Sɛdeɛ Persiahene Kores ka nie: “‘Awurade, ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn de ahennie a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ama me. Wayi me sɛ mensi asɔredan mma no wɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda asase so. Mo a moyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa, monsane nkɔ Israel nkɔdi saa dwuma yi. Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn nka mo ho.’”
