2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Amasia dii hene no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum, na odii ade mfirihyia aduonu akron wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne na din de Yehoadan a ofi Yerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
Amasia yɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani, nanso na emfi ne koma nyinaa mu.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants which had killed the king his father.
Bere a Amasia tim wɔ nʼahenni mu yiye no, okunkum mmarima a wokum nʼagya a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no.
4 But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.
Nanso wankunkum awudifo no mma, efisɛ otiee Awurade ahyɛde a wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose mmara nhoma no mu no se: Ɛnsɛ sɛ wokunkum awofo wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ nti, anaa wokunkum mma wɔ awofo bɔne a wɔayɛ nti. Wɔn a wɔsɛ owu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum wɔn wɔ wɔn nnebɔne nti.
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
Ade foforo a Amasia yɛe ne sɛ, ɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛe foforo wɔ asraafo no mu, de ntuanofo tuatuaa Yuda ne Benyamin mmusua no mu biara ano. Afei, ɔkan wɔn huu sɛ nʼakofo a wɔadi mfe aduonu rekɔ no dodow yɛ mmarima mpem ahaasa, na wɔatetew wɔn nyinaa wɔ peawtow ne nkatabokura mu.
6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
Ɔsan tuaa dwetɛ tɔn 3.4 sɛ apaade maa Israel mmarima mpem ɔha a wonim akodi yiye.
7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, [to wit], with all the children of Ephraim.
Nanso Onyankopɔn nipa baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Ɔhene, ntua sika mfa asraafo mfi Israel, efisɛ Awurade nka Israel ho. Ɔremmoa saa nnipa a wofi Efraim no.
8 But if thou wilt go, do [valiantly], be strong for the battle: God shall cast thee down before the enemy; for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
Sɛ woma wɔkɔka wʼakofo ho kɔ ɔko, na moko sɛ dɛn ara a, wobedi mo so nkonim. Onyankopɔn betu mo agu, efisɛ ɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɔboa anaa ɔsɛe.”
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
Amasia bisaa Onyankopɔn nipa no se, “Na dwetɛ a mitua kɔbɔɔ Israel asraafo paa no nso menyɛ no dɛn?” Onyankopɔn nipa no buae se, “Awurade betumi ama wo nea ɛsen sɛɛ koraa.”
10 Then Amaziah separated them, [to wit], the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
Enti Amasia pɔn asraafo a ɔbɔɔ wɔn paa no ma wɔsan kɔɔ Efraim. Eyi maa wɔn bo fuw Yuda, na wɔsan de abufuwhyew kɔɔ fie.
11 And Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
Na Amasia sii ne bo, dii nʼakofo anim, kɔɔ Nkyene Bon no mu. Ɛhɔ na wokum Edomfo asraafo a wofi Seir no mpem du.
12 And [other] ten thousand did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
Wɔkyekyeree mpem du bio de wɔn kɔɔ abotan tenten bi atifi, kosunsum wɔn ma wɔbɛhwee abotan a ɛwɔ bepɔw no ase no so, tetew pasapasa.
13 But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote of them three thousand, and took much spoil.
Na asraafo a Amasia kɔbɔɔ wɔn paa a ɔma wɔsan kɔe no tow hyɛɛ Yuda nkurow bebree a ɛwɔ Samaria ne Bet-Horon ntam no so. Wokunkum nnipa mpensa, tasee asade bebree.
14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
Bere a ɔhene Amasia dii Edomfo so a ɔreba no, ɔde ahoni a ɔtase fii Seirfo nkyɛn kaa ne ho bae. Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ sɛ ɔno ankasa anyame, kotow wɔn anim, bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn.
15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of thine hand?
Eyi hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw yiye nti, ɔsomaa odiyifo sɛ onkobisa se, “Adɛn nti na wosom anyame a mpo wontumi nnye wɔn ankasa nkurɔfo nkwa mfi wo nsam?”
16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the king] said unto him, Have we made thee of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
Nanso ɔhene no amma nʼano ansi, na ɔkae se, “Da bɛn na mibisaa wo afotu? Mua wʼano na mankum wo!” Enti ansa na odiyifo no rebɛkɔ no, ɔbɔɔ saa kɔkɔ yi, “Minim sɛ esiane sɛ woayɛ saa nti, Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wo, efisɛ woantie mʼafotu.”
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
Akyiri a Yudahene Amasia kɔɔ nʼafotufo nkyɛn kobisaa afotu no, ɔde sii Israelhene Yoas a na ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima, na ɔyɛ Yehu nena nso anim se, “Bra na yenni ako.”
18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon; and trode down the thistle.
Na Israelhene Yoas buaa Yudahene Amasia se, “Nsɔe a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔw so somaa abɔfo kɔɔ dutan sida nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Fa wo babea ma me babarima aware.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi fi wuram betiatiaa nsɔe no so sɛee no.
19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
Nokware woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdi no, na tena wo fi. Adɛn nti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafo nyinaa so yi?”
20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
Amasia yɛɛ asoɔden, efisɛ na Onyankopɔn resiesie kwan bi afa so asɛe no, sɛ ɔsom Edom anyame no nti.
21 So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
Na Israelhene Yoas, boaboaa nʼakofo ano kotiaa Yudahene Amasia. Asraafodɔm abien no hyiaa wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
Israel asraafo dii Yuda so nkonim ma wɔbɔɔ ahwete, guan kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
23 And Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes, na ɔsan de no baa Yerusalem. Afei, Yehoas hyɛɛ nʼakofo sɛ, wɔnsɛe Yerusalem fasu no anammɔn ahansia a efi Efraim Pon ano, kosi Twɔtwɔw Pon no ano.
24 And [he took] all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Ɔtasee sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ ne nneɛma ahorow a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu a na Obed-Edom hwɛ so no nyinaa. Afei, ɔfaa adekoradan a na ɛwɔ ahemfi hɔ mu nneɛma kaa nnommum no ho, na ɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima wu akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfe dunum.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Amasia ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, efi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nhoma no mu ana?
27 Now from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
Amasia dan ne ho fii Awurade akyidi no, wɔpam ne ti so wɔ Yerusalem. Ɛno nti, oguan kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso nʼatamfo somaa awudifo, tiw no kokum no wɔ hɔ.
28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Wɔde no too ɔpɔnkɔ so baa Yerusalem besiee no kaa nʼagyanom ho wɔ Dawid kurom.
