2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
Bere a Manase dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia dumien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonum anum.
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children 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 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ɔsan sisii nsɔree a nʼagya Hesekia sɛee no no. Osii afɔremuka maa Baal ahoni, sisii Asera nnua. Ɔsan kotow nsoromma a ɛwɔ wim no nyinaa, som wɔn.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
Mpo, osisii abosonsom afɔremuka wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, baabi a Awurade aka se, ɛhɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi ne din ni afebɔɔ no.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
Osisii saa afɔremuka no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adiwo abien hɔ, de maa wim nsoromma no.
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a medium, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Manase de ɔno ankasa mmabarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya so wɔ Hinom Babarima Bon mu. Ɔde ne ho hyɛɛ asumansɛm mu, kɔɔ abisa, yɛɛ abayisɛm, kɔɔ samanfrɛfo ne adunsifo nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ nneɛma pii a ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, maa Awurade bo fuwii.
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Na Manase faa ohoni a wasen, de kosii Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu. Ɔde kosii beae koro no ara a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo se, “Wobedi me din ni wɔ ha afebɔɔ, asɔredan yi mu ne Yerusalem, kuropɔn a mayi afi mmusuakuw a ɛwɔ Israel no nyinaa mu no.
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
Sɛ Israelfo di mʼahyɛde nyinaa so, me mmara a wɔnam Mose so mae no nyinaa so a, merentwa wɔn asu mfi asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Nanso Manase dii ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem anim maa wɔyɛɛ bɔnetraso sen abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee wɔn, bere a Israelfo kɔɔ asase no so no.
10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Manase ne ne nkurɔfo no, nanso wɔantie ne kɔkɔbɔ no mu biara.
11 Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Enti Awurade maa Asiriafo asraafo bɛfaa Manase yɛɛ no odeduani. Wɔde darewa hyɛɛ ne hwene mu, de kɔbere mfrafrae nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree no, de no kɔɔ Babilonia.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
Na bere a Manase wɔ ahokyere a emu yɛ den mu no, ɔpɛɛ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn akyi kwan, na ɔde ahobrɛase su frɛɛ nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn.
13 And prayed to him: and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he is God.
Na bere a ɔbɔɔ mpae no, Awurade tiee no, na ne sufrɛ no kaa ne koma. Enti Awurade maa Manase san kɔɔ Yerusalem wɔ nʼahenni mu. Afei, Manase tee ase sɛ Awurade nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.
14 Now after this he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate, and surrounded Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Eyi akyi no, Manase san sisii Dawid kuropɔn abɔnten afasu; efi Gihon asuti atɔe fam a ɛwɔ Kidron bon mu, de kɔ Apataa Pon ano, kosi Ofel bepɔw so a wosi ma ɛkɔɔ soro yiye no. Na oduaa nʼasraafo mpanyimfo no wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no nyinaa mu.
15 And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
Manase san tutuu ananafo anyame fii mmepɔw no so. Ɔsan tutuu anyame ne ahoni no fii Awurade Asɔredan mu. Obubuu afɔremuka a wasisi wɔ bepɔw so, faako a Asɔredan no si, ne afɔremuka a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, na ɔkɔtow guu kuropɔn no mfikyiri.
16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
Na ɔsan sii Awurade afɔremuka no, bɔɔ asomdwoe afɔre ne aseda afɔre wɔ so. Afei, ɔhyɛɛ Yuda manfo no nkuran sɛ, wɔnsom Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no.
17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, yet to the LORD their God only.
Nanso na ɔmanfo no da so bɔ afɔre wɔ abosonsom nsɔree so, a na wɔbɔ ma Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn no ara.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
Manase adedi ho nsɛm nkae, ne mpae a ɔbɔɔ srɛɛ Onyankopɔn ne nsɛm a adehufo ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn din mu no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ahemfo nhoma mu.
19 His prayer also, and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
Manase mpae, ɔkwan a Onyankopɔn faa so buaa no, ne ne bɔne ne atoro a odii nyinaa ho nsɛm, wɔakyerɛw agu adehufo nhoma mu. Faako a osii abosonsom nsɔree so, sisii Asera nnua ne ahoni ansa na ɔrenu ne ho no nso ka ho.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Bere a Manase wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼahemfi. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔyɛɛ ɔhene a odi hɔ.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Bere a Amon dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu abien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe abien.
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya Manase yɛe no. Ɔsom ahoni a nʼagya yɛe no nyinaa, bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn.
23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
Nanso wansɛ nʼagya Manase, efisɛ wammrɛ ne ho ase amma Awurade. Mmom, Amon yɛɛ bɔne maa ɛtraa so.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
Akyiri no, Amon no ara mpanyimfo pam ne ti so, kum no wɔ nʼahemfi.
25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
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.
