2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah he became king a son of twenty and five year[s] and twenty and nine year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Abijah [the] daughter of Zechariah.
Hesekia dii ɔhene wɔ Yuda no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu enum. Na ɔdii adeɛ mfeɛ aduonu nkron wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame yɛ Sakaria babaa a ne din de Abia.
2 And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that he had done David ancestor his.
Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛfata wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ ne tete agya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
3 He in the year first of reigning his in the month first he opened [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and he repaired them.
Afe a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ nʼahennie mu wɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no, Hesekia buebuee Awurade Asɔredan apono no, siesieeɛ.
4 And he brought the priests and the Levites and he gathered them to [the] open place of the east.
Ɔfrɛfrɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no sɛ, wɔmmɛhyia no wɔ Asɔredan no adihɔ a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam hɔ.
5 And he said to them listen to me O Levites now consecrate yourselves and consecrate [the] house of Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your and bring out the impurity from the holy place.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Lewifoɔ, montie me! Monnwira mo ho, na monnwira Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no nso. Monyiyi biribiara a efi aka no mfiri kronkronbea hɔ.
6 For they acted unfaithfully fathers our and they did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God our and they forsook him and they turned faces their away from [the] tabernacle of Yahweh and they gave a back.
Yɛn agyanom anni nokorɛ, na wɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn anim. Wɔgyaa Awurade ne nʼAsɔredan no; wɔdanee wɔn akyi kyerɛɛ no.
7 Also they shut [the] doors of the porch and they extinguished the lamps and incense not they made smoke and burnt offering[s] not they offered up in the holy place to [the] God of Israel.
Afei, wɔtotoo Asɔredan no abankua apono mu, dundumm nkanea no. Wɔgyaee nnuhwamhyeɛ, gyaee ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ba Israel Onyankopɔn, kronkronbea hɔ no.
8 And it was [the] wrath of Yahweh towards Judah and Jerusalem and he has made them (into a terror *Q(K)*) into a horror and into a hissing just as you [are] seeing with own eyes your.
Ɛno enti na Awurade abufuo aba Yuda ne Yerusalem so no. Wama yɛadane ahufoɔ, ayamhyehyefoɔ ne aseredeɛ, sɛdeɛ mohunu no pefee no.
9 And there! they have fallen fathers our by the sword and sons our and daughters our and wives our [are] in captivity on this.
Wɔakunkum yɛn agyanom wɔ ɔko mu, na wɔakyekyere yɛn mmammarima, yɛn mmammaa ne yɛn yerenom sɛ nneduafoɔ.
10 Now [is] with heart my to make a covenant to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and it may turn back from us [the] burning of anger his.
Nanso, seesei, me ne Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn bɛyɛ apam sɛdeɛ nʼabufuhyeɛ no bɛfiri yɛn so.
11 O sons my now may not you be negligent for you he has chosen Yahweh to stand before him to serve him and to be of him servants and makers of smoke.
Mʼadɔfonom Lewifoɔ, monnnyae mo nnwuma mu bio. Awurade ayi mo sɛ monnyina nʼanim nsom no, na monni ɔmanfoɔ anim nsom no, mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma no.”
12 And they arose the Levites Mahath [the] son of Amasai and Joel [the] son of Azariah of [the] descendants of the Kohathite[s] and of [the] descendants of Merari Kish [the] son of Abdi and Azariah [the] son of Jehallelel and of the Gershonite[s] Joah [the] son of Zimmah and Eden [the] son of Joah.
Afei saa Lewifoɔ yi hyɛɛ dwumadie no ase. Wɔn a wɔfiri Kohat abusua mu no ne: Amasai babarima Mahat ne Asaria babarima Yoɛl. Wɔn a wɔfiri Merari abusua mu no ne: Abdi babarima Kis ne Yehalelel babarima Asaria. Wɔn a wɔfiri Gerson abusua mu ne: Sima babarima Yoa ne Yoa babarima Eden;
13 And of [the] descendants of Elizaphan Shimri (and Jeiel *Q(K)*) and of [the] descendants of Asaph Zechariah and Mattaniah.
Wɔn a wɔfiri Elisafan abusua mu ne: Simri ne Yeiel. Wɔn a wɔfiri Asaf abusua mu ne: Sakaria ne Matania.
14 And of [the] descendants of Heman (Jehiel *Q(K)*) and Shimei. And of [the] descendants of Jeduthun Shemaiah and Uzziel.
Wɔn a wɔfiri Heman abusua mu ne: Yehiel ne Simei. Wɔn a wɔfiri Yedutun abusua mu ne: Semaia ne Usiel.
15 And they gathered relatives their and they consecrated themselves and they went according to [the] command of the king by [the] words of Yahweh to cleanse [the] house of Yahweh.
Saa mmarima yi frɛfrɛɛ wɔn mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ, na wɔdwiraa wɔn ho. Na afei, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwiraa Awurade Asɔredan no sɛdeɛ ɔhene no hyɛeɛ no. Wɔyɛɛ ahwɛyie, dii Awurade ahyɛdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn dwumadie no mu.
16 And they went the priests to within [the] house of Yahweh to cleanse [it] and they brought out all the uncleanness which they found in [the] temple of Yahweh to [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh and they received [it] the Levites to bring [it] out to [the] wadi of Kidron [the] outside towards.
Asɔfoɔ no kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan kronkronbea hɔ, kɔdwiraa hɔ, na wɔfaa biribiara a ɛho agu fi a wɔhunuiɛ no firii hɔ de baa Asɔredan no adihɔ. Lewifoɔ no twee ne nyinaa firii hɔ, kɔto guu Kidron Bɔnhwa mu.
17 And they began on [day] one of the month first to consecrate and on day eight of the month they came to [the] porch of Yahweh and they consecrated [the] house of Yahweh for days eight and on day six-teen of the month first they finished.
Wɔhyɛɛ dwumadie no ase wɔ da bi a ɛwɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no mu. Na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, na wɔaduru Awurade Asɔredan no abankua mu hɔ. Na wɔde nnafua nwɔtwe bio dwiraa Awurade Asɔredan no ankasa. Enti wɔde nnafua dunsia na ɛwiee dwumadie no nyinaa.
18 And they went within to Hezekiah the king and they said we have cleansed all [the] house of Yahweh [the] altar of the burnt offering and all utensils its and [the] table of the row and all utensils its.
Na Lewifoɔ no kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kɔkaa sɛdeɛ dwumadie no akɔsi kyerɛɛ no. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛadwira Awurade Asɔredan no, ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ afɔrebukyia no a nneɛma ahodoɔ ka ho ne Hyiadan mu Burodo no ɛpono no ne ɛho nneɛma ho.
19 And all the utensils which he had rejected the king Ahaz in reign his in unfaithfulness his we have prepared and we have consecrated and there they [are] before [the] altar of Yahweh.
Afei, nso, nneɛma a ɔhene Ahas tasee wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔyɛ asoɔden, na ɔtoo asɔredan no mu no nso, yɛakɔgye ne nyinaa. Ne nyinaa gu Awurade afɔrebukyia no anim a wɔadwira ho na wɔbɛtumi de adi dwuma biara.”
20 And he rose early Hezekiah the king and he gathered [the] officials of the city and he went up [the] house of Yahweh.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpahema no, ɔhene Hesekia boaboaa kuro no mpanimfoɔ ano ne wɔn kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu.
21 And they brought young bulls seven and rams seven and lambs seven and he-goats of goats seven to a sin offering on the kingdom and on the sanctuary and on Judah and he said to [the] descendants of Aaron the priests to offer up on [the] altar of Yahweh.
Wɔde anantwinini nson, nnwennini nson, nnwammaa nson ne mpapo nson baa sɛ, ahennie, asɔredan no ne Yuda bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɔhene no hyɛɛ asɔfoɔ no a wɔyɛ Aaron asefoɔ sɛ, wɔmfa mmoa no mmɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade afɔrebukyia no so.
22 And they slaughtered the cattle and they took the priests the blood and they sprinkled [it] the altar towards and they slaughtered the rams and they sprinkled the blood the altar towards and they slaughtered the lambs and they sprinkled the blood the altar towards.
Na wɔkunkum anantwinini no, na asɔfoɔ de mogya no petee afɔrebukyia no so. Afei, wɔkunkumm nnwennini no de wɔn mogya petee afɔrebukyia no so. Na awieeɛ no, wɔde nnwammaa no yɛɛ saa ara.
23 And they brought near [the] goats of the sin offering before the king and the assembly and they laid hands their on them.
Mpapo a wɔde rebɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no, wɔde baa ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ no anim, ma wɔde wɔn nsa guu wɔn so.
24 And they slaughtered them the priests and they made a sin offering blood their the altar towards to make atonement on all Israel for for all Israel he had said the king the burnt offering and the sin offering.
Afei, asɔfoɔ no kunkumm mpapo no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔ, de wɔn mogya petee afɔrebukyia no so, sɛ bɔne ho mpatadeɛ maa Israel nyinaa. Ɔhene no sii so dua sɛ, saa ɔhyeɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ no, wɔmmɔ mma Israel nyinaa.
25 And he stationed the Levites [the] house of Yahweh with cymbals with lyres and with harps by [the] command of David and Gad [the] seer of the king and Nathan the prophet for [was] by [the] hand of Yahweh the commandment by [the] hand of prophets his.
Afei, ɔhene Hesekia de Lewifoɔ no gyinagyinaa Awurade Asɔredan no mu. Ɔde kyankyan, mmɛnta ne asankuten maa wɔn. Ɔdii ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade nam Gad, a ɔyɛ ɔhene nhunumuni ne odiyifoɔ Natan so de maa Dawid no so.
26 And they stood the Levites with [the] instruments of David and the priests with trumpets.
Afei, Lewifoɔ no faa Dawid nnwontodeɛ no kɔgyinagyinaa wɔn gyinaberɛ wɔ Asɔredan no ho. Saa ara nso na asɔfoɔ no faa wɔn ntotorobɛnto kɔgyinagyinaa wɔn afa.
27 And he said Hezekiah to offer up the burnt offering to the altar and at [the] time [when] it began the burnt offering it began [the] song of Yahweh and the trumpets and on [the] hands of [the] instruments of David [the] king of Israel.
Afei, ɔhene Hesekia hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no nsi afɔrebukyia no so. Ɛberɛ a wɔde ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no reba no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ too ayɛyie nnwom maa Awurade, na wɔde ntotorobɛnto ne Israelhene Dawid nnwontodeɛ no gyegyee ho.
28 And all the assembly [were] bowing down and the song [was] singing and the trumpets ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) everything until was complete the burnt offering.
Badwa no sɔree Awurade wɔ ɛberɛ a na nnwomtofoɔ no reto nnwom, na wɔrehyɛn ntotorobɛnto no ara kɔsii sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no nyinaa saeɛ.
29 And just as finished to offer up they bowed down the king and all those [who] were found with him and they bowed down.
Na ɔhene no ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa koto someeɛ.
30 And he said Hezekiah the king and the officials to the Levites to praise Yahweh with [the] words of David and Asaph the seer and they praised to to joy and they bowed low and they bowed down.
Ɔhene Hesekia ne ne mpanimfoɔ hyɛɛ Lewifoɔ no sɛ, wɔmfa Dawid nnwom ne nhunumuni Asaf deɛ, nkamfo Awurade. Enti, wɔde anigyeɛ kamfoo Awurade, na wɔkoto sɔreeɛ.
31 And he answered Hezekiah and he said now you have filled hand your to Yahweh draw near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings to [the] house of Yahweh and they brought the assembly sacrifices and thank-offerings and every [person] willing of heart burnt offerings.
Afei, Hesekia de too dwa sɛ, “Ɔsom no aba awieeɛ. Momfa mo afɔrebɔdeɛ ne mo aseda mmra Awurade Asɔredan mu.” Enti, ɔmanfoɔ no de wɔn afɔrebɔdeɛ ne wɔn aseda afɔrebɔdeɛ baeɛ, na wɔn a wɔpɛ no de ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ nso kaa ho.
32 And it was [the] number of the burnt offering[s] which they brought the assembly cattle seventy rams one hundred lambs two hundred [were] for a burnt offering to Yahweh all these.
Ɔmanfoɔ no de anantwinini aduɔson, nnwennini ɔha ne nnwammaa ahanu sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ brɛɛ Awurade.
33 And the holy offerings [were] cattle six hundred and sheep three thousand.
Wɔsane de anantwinini ahansia ne nnwan mpem mmiɛnsa baa sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
34 Only the priests they were to fewness and not they were able to skin all the burnt offerings and they helped them relatives their the Levites until was complete the work and until they had consecrated themselves the priests for the Levites [were] upright of heart to consecrate themselves more than the priests.
Nanso, na asɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no sua sɛ wɔbɛtumi asiesie ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no nyinaa enti, wɔn abusuafoɔ Lewifoɔ no boaa wɔn, kɔsii sɛ dwumadie no baa awieeɛ. Wɔtee asɔfoɔ no pii ho ansa na wɔreboa dwumadie no, ɛfiri sɛ, na Lewifoɔ no adwene wɔ wɔn ahoteɛ so sene asɔfoɔ no.
35 And also burnt offering[s] to abundance with [the] fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings of the burnt offering and it was arranged [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh.
Na ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne daa nsa afɔdeɛ no buu so. Saa ara nso na asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ sradeɛ nso yɛɛ bebree. Enti, wɔsiesiee Awurade Asɔredan no maa ɔsom no.
36 And he rejoiced Hezekiah and all the people on what he had prepared God for the people for in suddenness it had happened the thing.
Na Hesekia ne ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa gyee wɔn ani wɔ deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama nnipa no, ɛfiri sɛ wɔwiee biribiara ntɛm.
