< 2 Chronicles 15 >

1 And Azariah [the] son of Oded it was on him [the] spirit of God.
Na Onyankopɔn honhom baa Oded babarima Asaria so,
2 And he went out before Asa and he said to him listen to me O Asa and all Judah and Benjamin Yahweh [is] with you when are you with him and if you will seek him he will let himself be found by you and if you will forsake him he will forsake you.
na ɔpue kɔhyiaa ɔhene Asa a ɔfiri akono reba no. Ɔteaam guu Asa so sɛ, “Tie me, Asa, Yudafoɔ ne Benyaminfoɔ nyinaa montie. Mmerɛ dodoɔ a mo ne Awurade te no, ɔno nso ne mo bɛtena. Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhwehwɛ noɔ no, mobɛhunu no. Nanso sɛ mogya no a, ɔno nso bɛgya mo.
3 And days many [belonged] to Israel to not - [the] God of truth and to not a priest [who] teaches and to not [the] law.
Teteete no, na Israel nni nokorɛ Onyankopɔn, na wɔnni ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn, na wɔnni Onyankopɔn mmara nso.
4 And it turned back when it was distress to it to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they sought him and he let himself be found by them.
Nanso, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛkɔ ahohiahia mu na mobɛkɔ Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn nkyɛn, na moahwehwɛ no no, mohunu no.
5 And in the times those not peace [belonged] to the [one who] went out and to the [one who] came in for disturbances great [were] on all [the] inhabitants of the lands.
Saa esum berɛ no mu, na akwantuo yɛ hu. Na ɔhaw wɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa.
6 And they were crushed nation by nation and city by city for God he troubled them with every trouble.
Akodie baa Ɔman ne ɔman ntam, kuropɔn ne kuropɔn ntam, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade maa ɔhaw ahodoɔ bebree baa mo so.
7 And you be strong and may not they drop hands your for there [is] reward for work your.
Na afei, mo Yuda mmarima, mo ho nyɛ den, monnya akokoɔduru, na mobɛnya mo adwumayɛ so akatua.”
8 And just as heard Asa the words these and the prophecy of (Azariah [the] son of *X*) Oded the prophet he strengthened himself and he took away the detestable things from all [the] land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured from [the] hill country of Ephraim and he renewed [the] altar of Yahweh which [was] before [the] porch of Yahweh.
Ɛberɛ a Asa tee saa asɛm yi firii odiyifoɔ Oded babarima Asaria nkyɛn no, ɔnyaa akokoɔduru, yiyii ahoni a ɛwɔ Yuda asase so ne Benyamin nyinaa ne nkuro a wako afa a ɛwowɔ Efraim bepɔ nsase so no. Ɔsiesiee Awurade afɔrebukyia a na ɛsi Awurade Asɔredan ntwonoo anim no.
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those [who] sojourned with them from Ephraim and Manasseh and from Simeon for they had fallen on him from Israel to multitude when saw they that Yahweh God his [was] with him.
Afei, Asa frɛfrɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Benyamin nyinaa. Ɔfrɛɛ nnipa a wɔfiri Efraim, Manase ne Simeon a wɔabɛtena wɔn mu no nso. Bebree tutu kɔtenaa Yuda wɔ Ɔhene Asa berɛ so, ɛfiri sɛ wɔhunuu sɛ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn ka ne ho.
10 And they gathered together Jerusalem in the month third of year fif-teen of [the] reign of Asa.
Ɛrekɔ bosome a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa awieeɛ no mu a na Asa adi adeɛ mfeɛ dunum no, nnipa no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Yerusalem.
11 And they sacrificed to Yahweh on the day that some of the booty [which] they had brought ox[en] seven hundred and sheep seven thousand.

12 And they went in the covenant to seek Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their with all heart their and with all being their.
Afei, wɔfiri wɔn akoma ne wɔn kra nyinaa mu yɛɛ apam sɛ wɔbɛhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
13 And every [one] who not he will seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel he will be put to death from small and unto great from man and unto woman.
Wɔpenee so sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛpo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn no, wɔbɛkum no, sɛ ɔnnyiniiɛ anaa wanyini, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa.
14 And they swore an oath to Yahweh with a voice great and with a shout and with trumpets and with ram's horns.
Wɔhyɛnee ntotorobɛnto ne mmɛn dendeenden, de dii Awurade nokorɛdie ntam no ho adanseɛ.
15 And they rejoiced all Judah on the oath for with all heart their they had sworn and with all will their they had sought him and he let himself be found by them and he gave rest Yahweh to them from round about.
Wɔn nyinaa ani gyee saa apam yi ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔfiri wɔn akoma nyinaa mu na ɛyɛeɛ. Wɔpere hwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn, na wɔhunuu no. Na Awurade maa wɔn ahomegyeɛ firii wɔn atamfoɔ a wɔwɔ afanan nyinaa nsam.
