2 Chronicles 33
1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, —and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Manase dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dumienu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum enum.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, -according to the abominable ways of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfoɔ aman nneyɛeɛ a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ. Ɔsuaa deɛ ɛnam so maa Awurade pamoo abosonsomfoɔ no firii asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
3 And he again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had thrown down, —and set up altars to the Baalim, and made Sacred Stems, and bowed in prostration unto all the army of the heavens, and served them;
Ɔsane sisii asɔreeɛ a nʼagya Hesekia sɛee no no. Ɔsii afɔrebukyia maa Baal ahoni, sisii Asera afɔrebukyia. Ɔsane kotoo nsoromma a ɛwɔ ewiem no nyinaa, somm wɔn.
4 and built altars in the house of Yahweh, —as to which Yahweh had said, In Jerusalem, shall be my Name, unto times age-abiding.
Mpo, ɔsisii abosonsom afɔrebukyia wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, baabi a Awurade aka sɛ, ɛhɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi ne din ni afebɔɔ no.
5 Yea he built altars unto all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
Ɔsisii saa afɔrebukyia no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adihɔ mmienu hɔ, de maa ewiem nsoromma no.
6 And, he, caused his sons to pass through the fire, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and practised sorcery, and appointed a necromancer, and a wizard, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger;
Manase de ɔno ankasa mmammarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya so wɔ Hinom Babarima Bɔnhwa mu. Ɔde ne ho hyɛɛ asumansɛm mu, kɔɔ abisa, yɛɛ abayisɛm, kɔɔ asamanfrɛfoɔ ne adunsifoɔ nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ nneɛma pii a ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, maa Awurade bo fuiɛ.
7 and he set a resemblance-image which he had made, —in the house of God, as to which God had said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, In this house and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name, unto times age-abiding.
Na Manase faa ohoni a wasene, de kɔsii Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu. Ɔde kɔsii baabi korɔ no ara a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo sɛ, “Wɔbɛdi me din ni wɔ ha afebɔɔ, asɔredan yi mu ne Yerusalem, kuropɔn a mayi afiri mmusuakuo a ɛwɔ Israel no nyinaa mu no.
8 So will I not again remove the foot of Israel away from the soil which I appointed for their fathers. Only they must observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the regulations, by the hand of Moses.
Sɛ Israelfoɔ di mʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so, me mmara a wɔnam Mose so maeɛ no nyinaa so a, merentwa wɔn asuo mfiri asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 And so Manasseh led astray Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —to commit wickedness beyond the nations which Yahweh had destroyed from before the sons of Israel.
Nanso, Manase dii ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem anim, ma wɔyɛɛ bɔnetrasoɔ sene abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee wɔn wɔ ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ kɔɔ asase no so no.
10 And Yahweh spake unto Manasseh and unto his people, but they did not give ear.
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Manase ne ne nkurɔfoɔ no, nanso wɔantie ne kɔkɔbɔ no mu biara.
11 So Yahweh brought in upon them, the captains of the army that belonged to the king of Assyria, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, —and bound him captive with a pair of bronze fetters, and took him away to Babylon.
Enti, Awurade maa Asiriafoɔ akodɔm bɛfaa Manase yɛɛ no ɔdeduani. Wɔde darewa hyɛɛ ne hwene mu, de kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree no, de no kɔɔ Babilonia.
12 But, in his distress, he appeased the face of Yahweh his God, —and humbled himself greatly, before the God of his fathers;
Na ɛberɛ a Manase wɔ ahokyere a emu yɛ den mu no, ɔpɛɛ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn akyiri kwan, na ɔde ahobrɛaseɛ su frɛɛ nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn.
13 and, when he prayed unto him, then was he entreated of him, and hearkened unto his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem, unto his own kingdom, and so Manasseh came to know, that, Yahweh, is God.
Na ɛberɛ a ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ no, Awurade tiee no, na nʼabisadeɛ no kaa nʼakoma. Enti, Awurade maa Manase sane kɔɔ Yerusalem wɔ nʼahennie mu. Afei, Manase tee aseɛ sɛ, Awurade nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.
14 And, after this, he built an outer wall to the city of David on the west of the Gihon in the ravine, even to the entering in through the fish-gate, and went round to Ophel, and carried it up very high, —and put captains of valour in all the fortified cities, throughout Judah.
Yei akyi, Manase sane sisii Dawid kuropɔn abɔntene afasuo; ɛfiri Gihon asutire atɔeɛ fam a ɛwɔ Kidron bɔnhwa mu, de kɔ Apataa Ɛpono ano, kɔsi Ofel bepɔ so a wɔsi maa ɛkɔɔ soro yie no. Na ɔduaa nʼasraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no nyinaa mu.
15 And he removed the gods of the foreigner and the image, out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, —and he cast them forth outside the city.
Manase sane tutuu amamfrafoɔ anyame fifirii mmepɔ no so. Ɔsane tutuu anyame ne ahoni no firii Awurade Asɔredan mu. Ɔbubuu afɔrebukyia a wasisi wɔ bepɔ so, baabi a Asɔredan no si, ne afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, na ɔkɔto guu kuropɔn no mfikyire.
16 And he built the altar of Yahweh, and sacrificed thereon peace-offerings, and thanksgiving sacrifices, -and gave word to Judah to serve Yahweh, God of Israel.
Na ɔsane sii Awurade afɔrebukyia no, bɔɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aseda afɔdeɛ wɔ so. Afei, ɔhyɛɛ Yuda manfoɔ no nkuran sɛ, wɔnsom Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no.
17 Howbeit, still were, the people, sacrificing in the high places, —only unto Yahweh their God.
Nanso, na ɔmanfoɔ no gu so bɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ abosonsom asɔreeɛ so. Nanso, na wɔbɔ ma Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn ara.
18 But, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the story of the seers who spake unto him in the name of Yahweh God of Israel, there they are, in the story of the kings of Israel:
Manase adedie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, ne mpaeɛ a ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn ne nsɛm a adehunumufoɔ ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn din mu no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel ahemfo nwoma mu.
19 both his prayer and how [God] was entreated of him—and all his sin and his treacherous act, and the sites whereon he built high places, and set up the Sacred Stems and the images, before he humbled himself, there they are, written in the story of the seers.
Manase mpaeɛ ne ɛkwan a Onyankopɔn faa so buaa no, ne ne bɔne ne atorɔ a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa ho nsɛm no, wɔatwerɛ agu adehunumufoɔ nwoma mu. Baabi a ɔsii abosonsom asɔreeɛ, sisii Asera afɔrebukyia ne ahoni ansa na ɔrenu ne ho no nso ka ho.
20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden off his own house, —and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Ɛberɛ a Manase wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼahemfie. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔyɛɛ ɔhene a ɔdi hɔ.
21 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, —and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Amon dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmienu. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ mmienu.
22 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done, —and, unto all the images which Manasseh his father had made, Amon offered sacrifice, and did serve them.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Manase yɛeɛ no. Ɔsomm ahoni a nʼagya yɛeɛ no nyinaa, bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa wɔn.
23 But he did not humble himself before Yahweh as Manasseh his father humbled himself, —for, he, Amon, made guilt abound.
Nanso, wansɛ nʼagya Manase, ɛfiri sɛ, wammrɛ ne ho ase amma Awurade. Mmom, Amon yɛɛ bɔne maa ɛtraa so.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death, in his own house.
Akyire yi, Amon no ara mpanimfoɔ pamm ne tiri so, kumm no wɔ nʼahemfie.
25 But the people of the land smote all the conspirators against King Amon, —and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Nanso, ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so kunkumm wɔn a wɔbɔɔ pɔ tiaa ɔhene Amon no, na wɔsii ne babarima Yosia ɔhene, sii nʼanan mu.
