2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
Yehoiakim ahennie mu no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar bɛto hyɛɛ Yuda asase so. Yehoiakim maa ne nsa so, na ɔtuaa toɔ maa no mfeɛ mmiɛnsa, nanso ɔtee Nebukadnessar so atua.
2 YHWH sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Arameans, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Na Awurade somaa akofoɔ firi Babilonia, Aram, Moab ne Amon, kɔko tiaa Yuda, sɛee no, sɛdeɛ Awurade nam nʼadiyifoɔ so hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.
3 Surely at the commandment of YHWH this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
Saa amanehunu yi baa Yuda so, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛyi no afiri nʼanim, ɛsiane bɔne dodoɔ a Manase yɛeɛ no enti.
4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and YHWH would not pardon.
Manase kaa mogya a ɛdi bem guiɛ de hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, ɛno enti, Awurade amfa yei ankyɛ.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Yehoiakim ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Ɛberɛ a Yehoiakim wuiɛ no, ne babarima Yehoiakyin na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
7 The king of Egypt did not come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the Wadi of Egypt to the river Perath, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
Na ɛno akyi, Misraimhene ansane amma bio. Na Babiloniahene na ɔfaa asase a anka na Misraimfoɔ no agyeɛ no nyinaa, ɛfiri Misraim asuwa no so, kɔsi Asubɔnten Eufrate ho.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Yehoiakyin dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ dunwɔtwe, na ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem abosome mmiɛnsa. Na ne maame yɛ Elnatan a ɔfiri Yerusalem no babaa Nehusta.
9 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, according to all that his father had done.
Yehoiakyin yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Yehoiakyin ahennie mu no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar akodɔm mu mpanimfoɔ bɛtuaa Yerusalem.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it;
Ɔtua no mu, Nebukadnessar ankasa baa kuropɔn no mu.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his officers, and his officers. And the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
Na ɔhene Yehoiakyin ne nʼafotufoɔ, atitire, mpanimfoɔ ne ɔhemmaa de wɔn ho maa Babiloniafoɔ. Nebukadnessar dii adeɛ ne mfeɛ nwɔtwe so no, ɔkyeree Yehoiakyin, de no too afiase.
13 He carried out there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in YHWH's temple, as YHWH had said.
Sɛdeɛ Awurade aka dada no, Nebukadnessar tasee agyapadeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ no ne ahemfie hɔ nyinaa. Wɔsɛee sikakɔkɔɔ akoradeɛ a Israelhene Salomo de sisii asɔredan mu hɔ no nyinaa.
14 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the officials, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land.
Ɔhene Nebukadnessar kyekyeree nneduafoɔ ɔpedu firii Yerusalem a ahenemma nyinaa ne asraafoɔ akodifoɔ, adwumfoɔ ne atomfoɔ a wɔdi mu ka ho. Ɛno enti, ahiafoɔ nko ara na ɔgyaa wɔn wɔ asase no so.
15 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nebukadnessar faa ɔhene Yehoiakyin de no kɔɔ Babilonia sɛ odeduani a ne yerenom ne ne mpanimfoɔ, ɔhemmaa ne Yerusalem nnipa atitire ka ho.
16 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
Afei, ɔfaa akofoɔ a wɔte apɔ no mpem nson, adwumfoɔ ne atomfoɔ apem a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmarima a wɔn ho yɛ den na wɔfata akodie.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king is his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Afei, Babiloniahene de Yehoiakyin wɔfa Matania dii adeɛ sɛ ɔhene foforɔ. Ɔsesaa Matania din frɛɛ no Sedekia.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Ɛberɛ a Sedekia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu baako. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dubaako. Na ne maame din de Hamutal a ɔyɛ Yeremia a ɔfiri Libna no babaa.
19 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Na Sedekia yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ Yehoiakim yɛeɛ no.
20 For through the anger of YHWH, it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Ɛno enti, Awurade abufuo enti na yeinom nyinaa baa Yerusalem ne Yuda so, na akyire yi, ɔyii nʼani firii wɔn so. Afei, Sedekia sɔre tiaa Babiloniahene.
