2 Chronicles 31
1 Now, when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went forth unto the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars—and cut down the Sacred Stems—and threw down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin—and throughout Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had made an end, —then all the sons of Israel returned every man to his own possession, unto their own cities.
Afahyɛ no twaa mu no, Israelfo a wɔkɔɔ bi no kɔɔ Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase nkurow nyinaa so, kɔsɛee afadum kronkron no, twitwaa Asera nnua no, yiyii abosonsomfo nsɔree so ne afɔremuka no. Eyi akyi, Israelfo no san kɔɔ wɔn nkurow so ne wɔn afi mu.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests, and the Levites, over their courses, every man according to the requirements of his service, both priests and Levites, for ascending-sacrifice and for peace-offerings, —to be in attendance and to give thanks and to offer praise, in the gates of the camps of Yahweh;
Hesekia kyekyɛɛ asɔfo no ne Lewifo no mu akuwakuw, sɛ wɔmmɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre, sɛ wɔnsom, na wɔmfa aseda ne nkamfo mma Awurade wɔ Asɔredan no apon ano.
3 also the portion of the king out of his own substance, for the ascending-sacrifices, —[even] for the ascending-sacrifices of the morning and of the evening, and the ascending-sacrifices for the sabbaths, and for the new moons and for the appointed feasts, —as written in the law of Yahweh.
Ɔhene no ankasa fii nea ɔwɔ mu maa anɔpa ne anwummere, nnaawɔtwe homeda afahyɛ ne Ɔsram Foforo Afahyɛ no ne afirihyia afɔre a aka no ɔhyew afɔrebɔde, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Awurade Mmara no mu no.
4 And he bade the people who were dwelling in Jerusalem give the portion of the priests and the Levites, —to the end they might persevere in the law of Yahweh.
Ɔhyɛɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no mfa nea wonya mu kyɛfa a mmara no ka no bɛma asɔfo no ne Lewifo no, sɛnea ɛbɛma wɔde wɔn ho nyinaa ahyɛ Awurade Mmara no mu.
5 And, as soon as the thing spread abroad, the sons of Israel caused to abound the firstfruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and all the increase of the field, -yea, the tithe of all—in abundance, brought they in.
Nnipa no tiee no aso pa mu, na wofi koma pa mu de atoko, nsa foforo, ngo, ɛwo ne wɔn nnɔbae nkae mu nea edi kan nyinaa bae. Wɔde wɔn ahode biara mu ntotoso du du bae.
6 And, as for the sons of Israel and Judah who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, even they, a tithe of oxen, and sheep, and a tithe of hallowed things, which had been hallowed unto Yahweh their God, did bring in and pile up—heaps, heaps.
Nnipa a wotu fii Israel baa Yuda no ne Yudafo no ankasa de wɔn anantwi ne wɔn nguan so ntotoso du du ne nneɛma a wɔahyira so ama Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn no so ntotoso du du bae. Wɔboaa ano ma ɛyɛɛ akuw akɛseakɛse.
7 In the third month, began they the heaps, at the foundation, —and, in the seventh, they finished.
Wɔde saa ntotoso du du a edi kan no baa ɔsram a ɛto so abiɛsa no awiei mu, na nneɛma no anoboa kɔɔ so kosii ɔsram a ɛto so ason no mfiase mu.
8 And Hezekiah and the rulers came, and saw the heaps, —and blessed Yahweh, and his people Israel.
Bere a Hesekia ne ne mpanyimfo behuu nneɛma no dodow no, wɔdaa Awurade ne ne nkurɔfo Israel ase.
9 Then applied Hezekiah unto the priests and the Levites, concerning the heaps.
Hesekia bisaa asɔfo no ne Lewifo no se, “Ɛhe na eyinom nyinaa fi bae?”
10 And Azariah, the chief priest of the house of Zadok, spake unto him, —and said—From the time of beginning to bring in, the heave-offering, into the house of Yahweh—to eat and to be full, there hath still been left, even to this abundance. For, Yahweh, hath blessed his people, and, that which is left, is this great plenty.
Na ɔsɔfopanyin Asaria a ofi Sadok abusua mu buae se, “Efi bere a ɔmanfo fii ase sɛ wɔde akyɛde reba Awurade Asɔredan mu no, yɛanya bebree a yebedi ama bi aka, efisɛ Awurade ahyira ne nkurɔfo.”
11 Then Hezekiah gave word to prepare chambers, in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them;
Hesekia yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ obenya adekoradan wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu, na wɔyɛe.
12 and brought in the heave-offering and the tithe and the hallowed things, faithfully, —and, over them, as chief ruler, was Cononiah the Levite, and Shimei his brother, next;
Na wodii nokware de akyɛde no ne ntotoso du du no nyinaa baa Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde hyɛɛ Lewini Kenania nsa maa ne nua Simei yɛɛ ne boafo.
13 and Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad, and Eliel and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, —overseers under the direction of Cononiah and Shemei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the chief ruler of the house of God.
Na Yehiel, Asasia, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimot, Yosabad, Eliel, Ismakia, Mahat ne Benaia yɛ wɔn a wɔhwɛ hɔ no aboafo. Ɔhene Hesekia ne Asaria a na ɔyɛ wɔn a na wɔhwɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu so panyin no na wɔkyekyɛɛ saa dibea ahorow yi.
14 And, Kore, son of Imnah the Levite, the door-keeper on the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, —to give the heave-offering of Yahweh, and the most holy things.
Lewini Yimna babarima Kore a ɔyɛ Apuei Pon ano hwɛfo no na wɔde hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔnkyekyɛ Onyankopɔn ayamye afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ akyɛde ne nneɛma a wɔde ama Awurade no.
15 And, under his direction, were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in trust to give unto their brethren by courses, as the great so the small;
Nʼaboafo nokwafo no ne Eden, Miniamin, Yesua, Semaia, Amaria ne Sekania. Na wɔkyekyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfo mmusua a wɔwɔ wɔn nkurow so sɛnea wɔn nkyekyɛmu te, na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa mmofra ne mpanyin.
16 besides registering them by males, from three years old and upward, unto every one that entered into the house of Yahweh, in the need of a day upon its day, —by their service, in their watches, according to their courses:
Na wɔkyɛɛ mmarimaa a wɔadi mfe abiɛsa rekɔ nyinaa akyɛde no bi a wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nhoma mu, na da biara wɔkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, kɔyɛ wɔn nnwuma a wɔde ahyɛ wɔn kuw no nsa no.
17 both the registering of the priests, by their ancestral houses, and the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, —in their watches, in their courses;
Na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nhoma mu ne Lewifo a wɔadi mfe aduonu ne nea ɛboro saa, a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn din sɛnea wɔn nnwuma ne wɔn nkyekyɛmu te no.
18 even to the registering of all their little ones, their wives and their sons and their daughters, unto all the convocation, —for, in their trust, they hallowed themselves in holiness;
Na wɔmaa abusuafo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ anato nhoma mu a nkokoaa, ɔyerenom ne mmabarima ne mmabea nso ka ho nnuan. Efisɛ na wɔadi nokware adwira wɔn ho.
19 also unto the sons of Aaron the priests in the fields of the pasture land of their cities, in every several city, men who were expressed by name, —to give portions to every male among the priests, and to all registered among the Levites.
Na asɔfo, Aaron asefo a na wɔtete nkuraa a atwa nkurow no ho ahyia no anaa nkurow no mu no de, woyiyii nnipa ma wɔkyɛɛ ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfo no mu ne Lewifo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din anato mu no nneɛma no bi.
20 And Hezekiah did thus, throughout all Judah, —and he did that which was good and right and faithful, before Yahweh his God.
Saa ɔkwan yi so na Hesekia fa kyɛɛ nneɛma wɔ Yudaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔyɛɛ nea ɛfata na ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn ani.
21 And, in all the work which he began in the service of the house of God—and in the law—and in the commandment, to seek unto his God, with all his heart, he wrought, and prospered.
Nea Hesekia yɛɛ nyinaa de som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, ne mmɔden a ɔbɔɔ sɛ obedi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so no, ɔde ne koma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ ne Nyankopɔn. Ne saa nti, ɛma onyaa nkɔso bebree.
