2 Kings 15
1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah 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 Jecoliah 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 He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
Na ɔtene wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Amasia teɛ no.
4 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Wammubu abosonnan no enti, na ne nkurɔfoɔ no kɔ hɔ kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, hye nnuhwam.
5 Jehovah struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham 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 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Na Asaria adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
7 Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
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-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as his fathers had done: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he 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 Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him and struck him down at Ibleam and put him to death, and reigned in his place.
Na Yabes babarima Salum bɔɔ pɔ, de tiaa Sakaria, kumm no wɔ badwam, dii akonnwa no.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, look, 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 Jehovah which he spoke to Jehu, saying, "Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel." So it came to pass.
Enti, Awurade asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ, Yehu sɛ, “Wʼasefoɔ na wɔbɛyɛ Israel ahemfo akɔsi awontoatoasoɔ a ɛtɔ so ɛnan” mu no, baa mu.
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned for a 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 Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him, and reigned in his place.
Afei, Gadi babarima Menahem firii Tirsa kɔɔ Samaria. Ɔkɔto hyɛɛ Yabes babarima Salum so kumm no, na ɔtenaa akonnwa no so.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, look, 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 Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were in it, and its borders, from Tirzah: because they did not open to him, therefore he struck it; and all the women in it who were with child he ripped up.
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 nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.
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 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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 There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
Afei, Asiriahene Pul bɛdii asase no so. Na Menahem tuaa dwetɛ nkariboɔ tɔno aduasa nson no sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtaa nʼakyi ama nʼahennie no atim.
20 Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and did not stay 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 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren't they 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 Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.
Ɛberɛ a Menahem wuiɛ no, ne babarima Pekahia na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years.
Menahem babarima Pekahia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israelhene wɔ Yudahene Usia ahennie ne mfeɛ aduonum so. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Samaria mfeɛ mmienu.
24 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he 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 Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria, in the citadel of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his place.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, look, 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 two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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 Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel Beth Maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.
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 Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, look, they 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 Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
Usia babarima Yotam dii ɔhene wɔ Yuda ɛberɛ a na ɔhene Peka adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfirinhyia mmienu.
33 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.
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 He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
Yotam yɛɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Usia yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
35 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of Jehovah.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Yotam ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne deɛ ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
37 In those days Jehovah began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
Saa mmerɛ no mu, Awurade hyɛɛ aseɛ somaa Aramhene Resin ne Israelhene Peka, sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yuda so.
38 Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Ɛberɛ a Yotam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuro mu. Na ne babarima Ahas bɛdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
