2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
Bere a Yoas babarima Amasia fii ase dii ade wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi ade wɔ Israel mfe abien.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
Amasia dii ade no, na wadi mfe aduonu anum, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfe aduonu akron. Na wɔfrɛ ne na se Yehoadin a ofi Yerusalem.
3 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto nea nʼagya Dawid yɛe. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛso so.
4 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
Nanso, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.
5 As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
Bere a Amasia tim wɔ nʼahenni mu yiye no, okunkum mmarima a wokum nʼagya a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no.
6 but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
Nanso wɔn a wokunkum wɔn no mma de, wankum wɔn, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose Mmara Nhoma no mu no, ne sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ: Wonnkunkum agyanom, wɔn mma bɔne nti; na wonnkunkum mma, agyanom bɔne nti. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara wu wɔ ne bɔne ho.
7 He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
Amasia na okunkum Edomfo mpem du wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu no. Ɔno ara nso na odii Sela so nkonim, na ɔtoo hɔ din Yokteel, din a wɔde frɛ hɔ de besi nnɛ no.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
Da bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nena anim se, “Behyia me ma yɛnko.”
9 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
Na Israelhene Yoas buaa Yudahene Amasia se, “Nsɔe a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔw so somaa abɔfo kɔɔ dutan sida nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Fa wo babea ma me babarima aware.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi fi wuram betiatiaa nsɔe no so sɛee no.
10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”
Nokware, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdi no, na tena wo fi. Adɛn nti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafo nyinaa so yi?”
11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Na Amasia antie nti, Israelhene Yoas boaboaa nʼakofo ano ne no kɔkoe. Asraafo dɔm abien no hyiaa mu koe wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
Israel asraafo dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda asraafo no bɔ hwetee, guan kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
13 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene, Yoas babarima Ahasia babarima Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes. Na Yoas bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yerusalem. Afei ɔhyɛɛ nʼakofo no ma wodwiriw Yerusalem fasu no, fi Efraim Pon no de kosii Twɔtwɔw so Pon no, a ne tenten bɛyɛ sɛ anammɔn ahansia no.
14 He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in Yahweh’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Ɔfaa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne nnwinne nyinaa fii Awurade asɔredan mu ne ahemfi adekoradan mu hɔ. Ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum, na ɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Yoas ahenni mu nsɛm nkae ne nea ne tumi kosii ne ako a ɔne Yudahene Amasia dii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
Bere a Yoas wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima wu akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfe dunum.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Amasia ahenni mu nsɛm nkae no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
19 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Wɔpam Amasia ti so wɔ Yerusalem nti, oguan kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfo no somaa awudifo, ma wotiw no, kokum no wɔ hɔ.
20 They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
Wɔsan de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom.
21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Yudafo sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfe dunsia no hene.
22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
Nʼagya wu akyi no, Asaria san kyekyeree Elat kurow, dan maa Yuda.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
Yudahene Yoas babarima Amasia adedi mfe dunum mu no, Israelhene Yoas babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien bedii hene wɔ Israel. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfirihyia aduanan baako.
24 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Na wantwe ne ho amfi abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam maa Israelfo kɔɔ mu no ho.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to Yahweh, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
Yeroboam a ɔto so abien gyigyee Israel nsase a ɛda Lebo Hamat ne Nkyene Po no ntam no sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn nam Amitai babarima Yona, odiyifo a ofi Gat-Hefer so, hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
26 For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
Awurade huu sɛnea obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wonni obiara a ɔbɛboa wɔn nso.
27 Yahweh didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Esiane sɛ Awurade nkaa se ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no nti, ɔnam Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso so gyee wɔn nkwa.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Yeroboam a ɔto so abien ahenni mu nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa, nea ne tumi ano kosii, nʼakodi ne nsase a ogyigye maa Israel a Damasko ne Hamat a na ɛwɔ Yuda nsam no nyinaa ka ho no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
29 Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
Bere a Yeroboam wui no, wosiee no ne mpanyimfo a na wɔyɛ Israel ahemfo no nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Sakaria na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
