< 2 Kings 14 >

1 In year two of Joash [the] son of Jehoahaz [the] king of Israel he became king Amaziah [the] son of Joash [the] king of Judah.
Ɛberɛ a Yoas babarima Amasia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfeɛ mmienu.
2 A son of twenty and five year[s] he was when became king he and twenty and nine year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his ([was] Jehoaddan *Q(K)*) from Jerusalem.
Amasia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu enum, na ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ aduonu nkron. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Yehoadin a ɔfiri Yerusalem.
3 And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like David ancestor his according to all that he had done Joash father his he did.
Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛtene wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto deɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛsoɔ so.
4 Only the high places not they were removed still the people [were] sacrificing and [were] making smoke at the high places.
Amasia ansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, kɔhye nnuhwam wɔ hɔ no.
5 And it was just when it was secure the kingdom in hand his and he struck down servants his who had struck down the king father his.
Ɛberɛ a Amasia ase timiiɛ sɛ ɔhene no, ɔkunkumm mpanimfoɔ a wɔkumm nʼagya no nyinaa.
6 And [the] sons of those [who] had struck down not he put to death according to [what] is written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses which he commanded Yahweh saying not they will be put to death fathers on sons and sons not they will be put to death on fathers that except each for own sin his (he will be put to death. *Q(K)*)
Nanso, wɔn a wɔkunkumm wɔn no mma deɛ, wankum wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose Mmara Nwoma no mu no, ne sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ: Mma wɔnkunkum agyanom wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ nti; na wɔnnkunkum mma wɔ wɔn agyanom bɔne a wɔayɛ enti. Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara wu wɔ ne bɔne ho.
7 He he struck down Edom in [the] Valley of (Salt *Q(K)*) ten thousand and he seized Sela in battle and he called name its Joktheel until the day this.
Amasia na ɔkunkumm Edomfoɔ ɔpedu wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa no mu no. Ɔno ara nso na ɔdii Sela so nkonim, na ɔtoo hɔ edin Yokteel, edin a wɔde frɛ hɔ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no.
8 Then he sent Amaziah messengers to Jehoash [the] son of Jehoahaz [the] son of Jehu [the] king of Israel saying come! let us look at one another faces.
Ɛda bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nana anim sɛ, “Bɛhyia me ma yɛnko.”
9 And he sent Jehoash [the] king of Israel to Amaziah [the] king of Judah saying thornbush which [was] in Lebanon it sent to cedar which [was] in Lebanon saying give! daughter your to son my to a wife and it passed by [the] animal of the field which [was] in Lebanon and it trampled the thornbush.
Na Israelhene Yoas de abasɛm buaa Yudahene Amasia sɛ, “Nkasɛɛ a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔ so somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ dutan ntweneduro nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Fa wo babaa ma me babarima awadeɛ.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi firi wiram bɛtiatiaa nkasɛɛ no so sɛee no.
10 Certainly you have struck down Edom and it has lifted you heart your be honored and remain at home your and why? will you engage in strife with harm and you will fall you and Judah with you.
Nokorɛm, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdie no, na tena wo fie. Adɛn enti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafoɔ nyinaa so yi?”
11 And not he listened Amaziah and he went up Jehoash [the] king of Israel and they looked at one another faces he and Amaziah [the] king of Judah at Beth Shemesh which [belonged] to Judah.
Na Amasia antie enti, Israelhene Yoas boaboaa nʼakodɔm ano ne no kɔkoeɛ. Akodɔm mmienu no hyiaa mu koeɛ wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
12 And it was defeated Judah before Israel and they fled everyone (to tents his. *Q(K)*)
Israel akodɔm dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda akodɔm no bɔ hweteeɛ, dwane kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
13 And Amaziah [the] king of Judah [the] son of Jehoash [the] son of Ahaziah he seized Jehoash [the] king of Israel at Beth Shemesh (and he came *Q(K)*) Jerusalem and he made a breach in [the] wall of Jerusalem at [the] gate of Ephraim to [the] gate of the corner four hundred cubit[s].
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene, Yoas babarima Ahasia babarima Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes. Na Yoas bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yerusalem. Afei ɔhyɛɛ nʼakodɔm no ma wɔdwirii Yerusalem ɔfasuo no, firi Efraim Ɛpono no de kɔsii Twɛtwɛwaso Ɛpono no, a ne tenten bɛyɛ sɛ anammɔn ahansia no.
14 And he took all the gold and the silver and all the articles which were found [the] house of Yahweh and in [the] treasuries of [the] house of the king and [the] sons of the pledges and he returned Samaria towards.
Ɔfaa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne nnwinneɛ nyinaa firii Awurade asɔredan mu ne ahemfie akoradan mu hɔ. Ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum, na ɔsane kɔɔ Samaria.
15 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jehoash which he did and might his and which he waged war with Amaziah [the] king of Judah ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.
Yoas ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne deɛ ne tumi kɔsiiɛ ne ako a ɔne Yudahene Amasia diiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
16 And he lay down Jehoash with ancestors his and he was buried in Samaria with [the] kings of Israel and he became king Jeroboam son his in place of him.
Ɛberɛ a Yoas wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
17 And he lived Amaziah [the] son of Joash [the] king of Judah after [the] death of Jehoash [the] son of Jehoahaz [the] king of Israel fif-teen year[s].
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima owuo akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfeɛ dunum.
18 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Amaziah ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
Amasia ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
19 And people conspired on him a conspiracy in Jerusalem and he fled Lachish towards and they sent after him Lachish towards and they put to death him there.
Wɔpam Amasia tiri so wɔ Yerusalem enti, ɔdwane kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfoɔ no somaa awudifoɔ, ma wɔtii no, kɔkumm no wɔ hɔ.
20 And they carried him on horses and he was buried in Jerusalem with ancestors his in [the] city of David.
Wɔsane de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom.
21 And they took all [the] people of Judah Azariah and he [was] a son of six-teen year[s] and they made king him in place of father his Amaziah.
Yudafoɔ sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfeɛ dunsia no ɔhene.
22 He he built Elath and he restored it to Judah after lay down the king with ancestors his.
Nʼagya wuo akyi no, Asaria sane kyekyeree Elat kuro, dane maa Yuda.
23 In year fif-teen year of Amaziah [the] son of Joash [the] king of Judah he became king Jeroboam [the] son of Joash [the] king of Israel in Samaria forty and one year[s].
Yudahene Yoas babarima Amasia adedie mfeɛ dunum mu no, Israelhene Yoas babarima Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu bɛdii ɔhene wɔ Israel. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Samaria mfirinhyia aduanan baako.
24 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh not he turned aside from all [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so. Na wantwe ne ho amfiri abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam ma Israelfoɔ kɔɔ mu no ho.
25 He he restored [the] border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to [the] sea of the Arabah according to [the] word of Yahweh [the] God of Israel which he spoke by [the] hand of servant his Jonah [the] son of Amittai the prophet who [was] from Gath Hepher.
Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu gyegyee Israel nsase a ɛda Lebo Hamat ne Nkyene Ɛpo no ntam no sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn nam Amitai babarima Yona, odiyifoɔ a ɔfiri Gat-Hefer so, hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
26 For he saw Yahweh [the] affliction of Israel rebellious very and there not [was] shut up and there not [was] freed and there not [was] a helper for Israel.
Awurade hunuu sɛdeɛ obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wɔnni obiara a ɔbɛboa wɔn nso.
27 And not he had spoken Yahweh to wipe out [the] name of Israel from under the heavens and he delivered them by [the] hand of Jeroboam [the] son of Joash.
Esiane sɛ Awurade nkaa sɛ ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no enti, ɔnam Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso so gyee wɔn nkwa.
28 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jeroboam and all that he did and might his which he waged war and which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.
Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, deɛ ne tumi ano kɔsiiɛ, nʼakodie ne nsase a ɔgyegye maa Israel a Damasko ne Hamat a na ɛwɔ Yuda nsam no nyinaa ka ho no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
29 And he lay down Jeroboam with ancestors his with [the] kings of Israel and he became king Zechariah son his in place of him.
Ɛberɛ a Yeroboam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ a na wɔyɛ Israel ahemfo no nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Sakaria na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
