2 Kings 21
1 [was] a son of Two [plus] ten year[s] Manasseh when became king he and fifty and five year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Hephzi-bah.
Bere a Manase dii hene no, na wadi mfe dumien, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonum anum. Na ne na din de Hefsibah.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to [the] abominations of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfo aman nneyɛe a ɛyɛ akyiwade a Awurade apam afi asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
3 And he returned and he built the high places which he had destroyed Hezekiah father his and he set up altars to Baal and he made an Asherah pole just as he had done Ahab [the] king of Israel and he bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and he served them.
Ɔsan sisii abosonsomfo abosonnan a nʼagya Hesekia bubu gui no. Ɔyɛɛ afɔremuka pii maa Baal, na osii Asera dua, sɛnea Israelhene Ahab yɛe ara pɛ. Afei, ɔkotow sɔree wim atumfo.
4 And he built altars in [the] house of Yahweh which he had said Yahweh in Jerusalem I will put name my.
Na mpo, osisii abosom afɔremuka pii wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu; baabi a Awurade aka sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne din anuonyam no.
5 And he built altars to all [the] host of the heavens in [the] two [the] courtyards of [the] house of Yahweh.
Osisii saa afɔremuka no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adiwo abien hɔ, de maa wim nsoromma no.
6 And he made pass son his in the fire and he practiced soothsaying and he practiced divination and he dealt with necromancer and soothsayers he increased to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke [him] to anger.
Na mpo, Manase de ɔno ankasa babarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya mu. Na ɔyɛ abayisɛm, kɔ abisa. Ɔkɔɔ samanfrɛfo hɔ ne asumanfo so. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree Awurade ani so, ma ɛhyɛɛ no abufuw.
7 And he put [the] image of Asherah which he had made in the house which he had said Yahweh to David and to Solomon son his in the house this and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all [the] tribes of Israel I will put name my for ever.
Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no de kosii asɔredan mu, beae koro no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo se, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din anuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kurow a mayi afi Israel mmusuakuw a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 And not I will repeat to make wander [the] foot of Israel from the ground which I gave to ancestors their only - if they will take care to do according to all that I have commanded them and to all the law which he commanded them servant my Moses.
Na sɛ Israelfo betie mʼahyɛde a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asu mfi asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 And not they listened and he misled them Manasseh to do evil more than the nations which he had destroyed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
Nanso nnipa no antie. Manase dii wɔn anim ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne bebree a ɛsen abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee no bere a Israelfo kɔɔ saa asase no so no mpo.
10 And he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of servants his the prophets saying.
Awurade nam nʼasomfo a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifo so kae se,
11 Because that he has done Manasseh [the] king of Judah the abominations these he has done evil more than all that they did the Amorite[s] who [was] before him and he has caused to sin also Judah with idols his.
“Yudahene Manase ayɛ akyiwade bebree. Na mpo, ɔyɛ omumɔyɛfo sen Amorifo a wɔbɛtenaa asase yi so ansa na Israel reba no. Wadi Yudafo anim de wɔn akɔ ahonisom mu.
12 Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to bring calamity on Jerusalem and Judah which every ([one who] hears of it *Q(K)*) they will tingle [the] two ears his.
Enti sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Mede ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bɛto Yerusalem ne Yuda so ama aso a ɛbɛte saa nsɛm no mu ayɛ no yonn.
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem [the] measuring-line of Samaria and [the] leveling tool of [the] house of Ahab and I will wipe clean Jerusalem just as someone wipes clean the bowl he wipes [it] clean and he turns [it] over on face its.
Mɛfa ɔkwan a menam so buu Samaria ne Ahab abusua atɛn no so abu Yerusalem atɛn. Mɛpepa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, te sɛnea obi hohoro asanka mu, na ɔdan butuw no.
14 And I will abandon [the] remnant of inheritance my and I will give them in [the] hand of enemies their and they will become spoil and plunder to all enemies their.
Na mpo, mɛpo me nkurɔfo kakra a wɔaka no, na mede wɔn bɛma wɔn atamfo sɛ asade.
15 Because that they have done the evil in view my and they have been provoking to anger me since the day when they came out ancestors their from Egypt and until the day this.
Efisɛ wɔayɛ bɔne kɛse wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuw, fi bere a wɔn agyanom fii Misraim no.”
16 And also blood innocent he shed Manasseh much very until that he had filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth apart from sin his which he caused to sin Judah to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Manase kunkum nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kosii sɛ, mogya a edi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, fi ti kosi ti. Eyi ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafo no yɛ de wɔn kɔɔ bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no Awurade ani so no ho.
17 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Manasseh and all that he did and sin his which he sinned ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
Manase ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa ne bɔne a ɔyɛe no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
18 And he lay down Manasseh with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] garden of house his in [the] garden of Uzzah and he became king Amon son his in place of him.
Manase wui no, wosiee no wɔ ahemfi no turo a na ɛyɛ Usa dea no mu. Na ne babarima Amon na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
19 [was] a son of Twenty and two year[s] Amon when became king he and two years he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Meshullemeth [the] daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
Amon dii hene no, na wadi mfe aduonu abien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe abien. Na wɔfrɛ ne na Mesulemet a na ɔyɛ Harus a ofi Yolba no babea.
20 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh just as he had done Manasseh father his.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya Manase yɛe no ara pɛ.
21 And he walked in all the way which he had walked father his and he served the idols which he had served father his and he bowed down to them.
Ɔfaa nʼagya nhwɛso so, som ahoni koro no ara a na nʼagya som wɔn no.
22 And he forsook Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his and not he walked in [the] way of Yahweh.
Ogyaw Awurade, nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn no na wampɛ sɛ ɔbɛfa Awurade akwan so.
23 And they conspired [the] servants of Amon on him and they killed the king in own house his.
Na Amon no ankasa asomfo bɔɔ ne ho pɔw, kum no wɔ nʼahemfi.
24 And it struck down [the] people of the land all those [who] had conspired on the king Amon and they made king [the] people of the land Josiah son his in place of him.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kunkum nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔw no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii ade sɛ ɔhene.
25 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Amon which he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
Amon ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
26 (And someone buried *LB(ah)*) him in grave his in [the] garden of Uzzah and he became king Josiah son his in place of him.
Wosiee no wɔ ne boda a ɛwɔ Usa turo mu hɔ no mu. Na ne babarima Yosia dii ade sɛ ɔhene.
