< 2 Chronicles 22 >
1 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
Afei, ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no sii Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia ɔhene a odi hɔ. Na Arabfo afowfo akuw akunkum mmabarima mpanyimfo no nyinaa. Ɛno nti, Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia na odii hene wɔ Yuda.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Bere a Ahasia dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu abien, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem afe. Na ne na a ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nena no din de Atalia.
3 He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counsellor in acting wickedly.
Ahasia nso yɛɛ ɔhene Ahab abusua bɔne a wɔyɛe no bi, efisɛ ne na hyɛɛ no nkuran wɔ bɔneyɛ mu.
4 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so sɛnea Ahab yɛe no. Nʼagya wu akyi no, Ahab abusuafo na wɔbɛyɛɛ nʼafotufo. Wɔn na wɔde no kɔɔ ɔsɛe mu.
5 He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Esiane wɔn afotu bɔne nti, Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ ɔhene Yoram a ɔyɛ Israelhene Ahab babarima ho. Wotuu Aramhene Hasael so sa wɔ Ramot-Gilead. Ɔko no mu no, Aramfo no piraa Yoram.
6 He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Yoram san kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsaa nʼapirakuru no, na Yudahene Ahasia kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsraa no.
7 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
Na eyi dan mfomso kɛse, efisɛ na Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛtwe Ahasia aso. Saa nsrahwɛ yi mu na Ahasia ne Yoram kohyiaa Nimsi babarima Yehu, a na Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ ontwa Ahab fi adedi ntoatoaso no so.
8 When Jehu was executing judgement on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them.
Bere a Yehu rebu atɛn atia Ahab fi no, ohyiaa Yuda mpanyimfo ne Ahasia abusuafo bi a na wɔresom Ahasia. Enti Yehu kunkum wɔn nyinaa.
9 He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
Afei, Yehu mmarima hwehwɛɛ Ahasia, na wokohuu no sɛ wakɔtɛw Samaria kuropɔn no mu. Wɔde no brɛɛ Yehu ma okum no. Wosiee Ahasia ma ɛyɛɛ fɛ, efisɛ nnipa dii ne ho adanse se, “Ɔyɛ Yehosafat a ɔde ne koma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ Awurade no nena.” Na Ahasia abusua mu nnipa a wɔkaa akyi no mu biara amfata sɛ ɔbɛtoa ahenni no so.
10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
Bere a Yudahene Ahasia ne na Atalia tee sɛ ne babarima no awu no, ɔkekaa ne ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda adehye abusua no.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from amongst the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn’t kill him.
Nanso Ahasia nuabea Yehoseba, a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Yehoram babea, faa Ahasia babarima akokoaa Yoas fii ɔhene no mma a wɔaka a wɔrebekum wɔn no mu. Ɔde Yoas ne onipa a ɔhwɛ no no kosiee pia bi mu. Eyi ne ɔkwan a ɔsɔfo Yehoiada yere Yehoseba faa so de abofra no siei, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na Atalia rennya no nkum no.
12 He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Yoas hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu hɔ mfe asia, bere a na Atalia di ɔman no so no.
