1 Kings 22
1 Therfor thre yeeris passiden with out batel bitwixe Sirie and Israel.
Ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam mfeɛ mmiɛnsa.
2 Forsothe in the thridde yeer Josephat, king of Juda, yede doun to the kyng of Israel.
Na mfeɛ mmiɛnsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a ɔdi adeɛ Yuda kɔɔ Israelhene Ahab nkyɛn.
3 And the kyng of Israel seide to hise seruauntis, Witen ye not, that Ramoth of Galaad is oure, and we ben necgligent to take it fro the hoond of the kyng of Sirie?
Na Ahab abisa ne mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Moahunu sɛ Aramfoɔ da so te yɛn kuro Ramot Gilead mu? Nanso, yɛnyɛɛ ho hwee!”
4 And he seide to Josaphat, Whether thou schalt come with me to fiyte in to Ramoth of Galaad?
Enti ɔbisaa Yehosafat sɛ, “Wobɛka me ho, na yɛako atia Ramot Gilead anaa?” Na Yehosafat buaa ɔhene Ahab sɛ, “Adɛn? Ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛda ne kwan mu. Wo ne me yɛ anuanom, na mʼakodɔm yɛ wo dea, sɛ wobɛka asɛm a wopɛ akyerɛ wɔn. Mpo, mʼapɔnkɔ da wo da.”
5 And Josophat seide to the kyng of Israel, As Y am, so and thou; my puple and thi puple ben oon; and my knyytis and thy knyytis `ben oon. And Josephat seide to the kyng of Israel, Y preie thee, axe thou to dai the word of the Lord.
Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho sɛ, “Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma yɛmmisa Awurade hɔ afotuo.”
6 Therfor the kyng of Israel gaderide prophetis aboute foure hundrid men, and he seide to hem, Owe Y to go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ethir to reste? Whiche answeriden, Stie thou, and the Lord schal yyue it in the hond of the kyng.
Enti, ɔhene Ahab frɛɛ nʼadiyifoɔ a wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ ahanan no nyinaa, bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Menkɔko ntia Ramot Gilead anaa mennkɔ?” Wɔn nyinaa buaa sɛ, “Kɔ so! Awurade bɛma woadi nkonim animuonyam so.”
7 Forsothe Josephat seide, Is not here ony profete of the Lord, that we axe bi hym?
Nanso, Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Enti, Awurade odiyifoɔ biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mebisa no saa asɛm korɔ no ara.”
8 And the kyng of Israel seide to Josephat, O man, Mychee, sone of Hiemla, is left, bi whom we moun axe the Lord; but Y hate hym, for he prophesieth not good to me, but yuel. To whome Josephat seide, Kyng, spek thou not so.
Ɔhene Ahab buaa sɛ, “Awurade odiyifoɔ baako da so wɔ ha, nanso metane no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔm bɔne, na ɔhyɛ fa me ho. Ne din de Mikaia a ɔyɛ Imla babarima.” Na Yehosafat kaa sɛ, “Nkasa saa. Momma yɛntie asɛm a ɔwɔ ka.”
9 Therfor the kyng of Israel clepide summe chaumburleyn, and seide to hym, Haste thou to brynge Mychee, sone of Hiemla.
Enti, Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ka wo ho kɔfa Imla babarima Mikaia bra.”
10 Forsothe the kyng of Israel, and Josephat, kyng of Juda, saten, ech in his trone, clothid with kyngis ournement, in the large hows bisidis the dore of the yate of Samarie; and alle prophetis prophecieden in the siyt of hem.
Israelhene Ahab ne Yudahene Yehosafat hyɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ntadeɛ, tenaa wɔn ahennwa mu wɔ aponnwa a ɛbɛn Samaria ɛkwan no ano. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Ahab adiyifoɔ no rehyɛ nkɔm wɔ wɔn anim.
11 Also Sedechie, sone of Chanaan, made to hym silf hornes of yrun, and seide, The Lord God seith these thingis, With these thou schalt scatere Sirye, til thou do awei it.
Wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Sedekia a ɔyɛ Kenaana babarima yɛɛ dadeɛ mmɛn bi ka too dwa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade ka nie: Mode saa mmɛn yi bɛwowɔ Aramfoɔ no akunkum wɔn.”
12 And alle prophetis prophecieden in lijk maner, and seiden, Stye thou in to Ramoth of Galaad, and go thou with prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake thin enemyes in the hond of the kyng.
Adiyifoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so, kaa sɛ, “Aane, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na monkɔdi nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”
13 Sotheli the messanger, that yede to clepe Mychee, spak to hym, and seide, Lo! the wordis of prophetis with o mouth prechen goodis to the kyng; therfor thi word be lijk hem, and speke thou goodis.
Na ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔkɔfaa Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Tie, adiyifoɔ no nyinaa hyɛ nkonimdie ho nkɔm ma ɔhene. Hwɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn adwene bɛyɛ baako, na wo nso, wobɛhyɛ nkonimdie ho nkɔm.”
14 To whom Mychee seide, The Lord lyueth, for what euer thing the Lord schal seie to me, Y schal speke this.
Nanso, Mikaia kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te aseɛ yi, deɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no na mɛka.”
15 Therfor he cam to the kyng. And the kyng seide to hym, Mychee, owen we go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ether ceesse? To which kyng he answeride, Stie thou, and go in prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake it `in to the hond of the kyng.
Ɛberɛ a Mikaia bɛduruu ahennimu no, Ahab bisaa no sɛ, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnnkɔ?” Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Monkɔ! Na Awurade bɛma ɔhene adi nkonim animuonyam so.”
16 Forsothe the kyng seide to hym, Eft and eft Y coniure thee, that thou speke not to me, not but that that is soth in the name of the Lord.
Nanso, ɔhene no sɔɔ so sɛ, “Mpɛn ahe na menka sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkasa ama Awurade no, ɛsɛ sɛ woka nokorɛ?”
17 And he seide, Y siy al Israel scaterid in the hillis, as scheep not hauynge a scheepherde; and the Lord seide, These han no lord, ech man turne ayen in to his hows in pees.
Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Anisoadehunu mu, mehunuu sɛ Israel abɔ apete mmepɔ no so, te sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ. Na Awurade kaa sɛ, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Ma wɔnkɔ efie asomdwoeɛ mu.’”
18 Therfor the kyng of Israel seide to Josaphat, Whethir Y seide not to thee, that he prophecieth not good to me, but euere yuel?
Israelhene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Manka saa ankyerɛ wo? Ɛda biara saa na ɔyɛ. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔntorɔ na ɔhyɛ fa me ho.”
19 Sotheli thilke Mychee addide, and seide, Therefore here thou the word of the Lord; Y siy the Lord sittynge on his trone, and Y siy al the oost of heuene stondynge nyy hym, on the riyt side and on the left side.
Mikaia toaa so sɛ, “Tie deɛ Awurade ka. Mehunuu Awurade sɛ ɔte nʼahennwa so a ne sorofoɔ akodɔm nyinaa atwa ne ho ahyia wɔ ne nifa ne ne benkum so.”
20 And the Lord seide, Who schal disseyue Achab, kyng of Israel, that he stye, and falle in Ramoth of Galaad? And oon seide siche wordis, and another in anothir maner.
Na Awurade bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛtumi adaadaa Ahab, ama wakɔ ɔko atia Ramot Gilead, a ɛbɛtumi aba sɛ wɔbɛkum no wɔ hɔ?” Wɔsusuu nsɛm ahodoɔ bebree ho wɔ hɔ,
21 Sotheli a spirit yede out, and stood bifor the Lord, and seide, Y schal disseyue hym. To whom the Lord spak, In what thing?
kɔsii sɛ ne korakora no, honhom bi kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛtumi ayɛ!”
22 And he seide, Y schal go out, and Y schal be a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle hise prophetis. And the Lord seide, Thou schalt disseyue, and schalt haue the maystry; go thou out, and do so.
Awurade bisaa sɛ, “Ɛkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ yei?” Na honhom no buaa sɛ, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifoɔ, ama wɔadi atorɔ.” Awurade kaa sɛ, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wobɛdi nkonim.
23 Now therfor, lo! the Lord yaf a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle prophetis that ben here; and the Lord spak yuel ayens thee.
“Enti afei, Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifoɔ anomu. Na Awurade adwene ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ ama wo.”
24 Forsothe Sedechie, sone of Canaan, neiyede, and smoot Mychee on the cheke, and seide, Whether the Spirit of the Lord forsook me, and spak to thee?
Ɛnna Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ nʼani so. Ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom firii me mu, bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”
25 And Mychee seide, Thou schalt se in that dai, whanne thou schalt go in to closet with ynne closet, that thou be hid.
Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara, wobɛhunu nokorɛ no wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛdwane akɔtɛ kɔkoam dan bi mu.”
26 And the kyng of Israel seide, Take ye Mychee, and dwelle he at Amon, prince of the citee, and at Joas, the sone of Amalech;
Israelhene Ahab hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kuro no mu amrado, na momfa no nkɔ me babarima Yoas nkyɛn.
27 and seie ye to hem, The kyng seith these thingis, Sende ye this man in to prisoun, and susteyne ye hym with breed of tribulacioun, and with watir of angwisch, til Y turne ayen in pees.
Monka saa nhyɛ a ɛfiri ɔhene nkyɛn nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Fa saa ɔbarima yi to afiase, na burodo ne nsuo nko na momfa mma no nni, kɔsi sɛ mɛsane afiri akono aba asomdwoeɛ mu.’”
28 And Mychee seide, If thou schalt turne ayen in pees, the Lord spak not in me. And he seide, Here ye, alle puplis.
Nanso, Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Sɛ wosane ba asomdwoeɛ mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade amfa me so ankasa.” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina hɔ, atwa ne ho ahyia no sɛ, “Saa asɛm a maka yi, monhyɛ no nso.”
29 Therfor the kyng of Israel stiede, and Josaphat, kyng of Juda, in to Ramoth of Galaad.
Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn akodɔm anim, kɔto hyɛɛ Ramot-Gilead so.
30 Therfor the kyng of Israel seide to Josephat, Take thou armeris, and entre thou in to batel, and be thou clothid in thi clothis, that is, noble signes of the kyng. Certis the kyng of Israel chaungide hise clothing, and entride in to batel.
Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsakyera me ho, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara renhunu me. Nanso, wo deɛ, hyɛ wʼahentadeɛ.” Enti, Ahab sakyeraa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔko no.
31 Sotheli the kyng of Sirie hadde comaundid to two and thritti princes of charis, and seide, Ye schulen not fiyte ayens ony man lesse, ethir more, no but ayens the kyng of Israel oonli.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Aramhene ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ aduasa mmienu no sɛ, “Monto nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so!”
32 Therfor whanne the princes of charis hadden seyn Josephat, thei suposiden that he was king of Israel, and bi feersnesse maad thei fouyten ayens hym.
Enti, ɛberɛ a Aramhene nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentadeɛ no, wɔtaa no. Wɔteateaam sɛ, “Israelhene no ne no.” Nanso, ɛberɛ a Yehosafat teaam no,
33 And Josephat criede; and the princis of charis vndurstoden, that it was not the king of Israel, and thei ceessiden fro hym.
nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno ne Israelhene no enti, wɔgyaa nʼakyidie.
34 Sotheli sum man bente a bowe, and dresside an arowe in to vncerteyn, and bi hap he smoot the kyng of Israel bitwixe the lunge and the stomak. And the kyng seide to his charietere, Turne thin hond, and cast me out of the oost, for Y am woundid greuousli.
Aram sraani bi de anibiannasoɔ too agyan kyerɛɛ Israel asraafoɔ no so, ma ɛkɔwɔɔ Israelhene wɔ ne nkataboɔ ahyiaeɛ so. Ahab teaam kyerɛɛ ne teaseɛnamkafoɔ no sɛ, “Fa me firi ha ntɛm, na wɔapira me pa ara.”
35 Therfor batel was ioyned in that dai, and the kyng of Israel stood in his chare ayens men of Sirie, and he was deed at euentid. Forsothe the blood of the wounde fletide doun in to the bothome of the chare.
Ɔko no kɔɔ so saa ara da mu no nyinaa, na wɔde Ahab tweree biribi wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfoɔ no. Mogya tuu no firi nʼapirakuro no mu, guu teaseɛnam no mu, na onwunu dwoeɛ no, ɔwuiɛ.
36 And a criere sownede in al the oost, before that the sunne yede doun, and seide, Ech man turne ayen in to his citee, and in to his lond.
Onwunu reyɛ adwo no, wɔteateaam faa akodɔm no nyinaa mu sɛ: “Ɔko no aba awieeɛ. Monsane nkɔ efie!”
37 Forsothe the kyng was deed, and was borun in to Samarie; and thei birieden the kyng of Samarie.
Na ɔhene no wuiɛ no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kɔsiee no wɔ hɔ.
38 And thei waischiden his chare in the cisterne of Samarie, and doggis lickiden his blood, and thei wayschiden the reynes, bi the word of the Lord whiche he hadde spoke.
Na wɔhoroo ne teaseɛnam no ho wɔ asubura bi a ɛwɔ Samaria a adwamanfoɔ dware hɔ, na nkraman bɛtaferee ɔhene no mogya no, sɛdeɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
39 Sotheli the residue of wordis of Achab, and alle thingis whiche he dide, and the hows of yuer which he bildide, and of alle citees whiche he bildide, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Israel?
Nsɛm a ɛfa Ahab ahennie ho ne asonse ahemfie ho asɛm ne nkuro a ɔkyekyeree nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
40 Therfor Achab slepte with hise fadris, and Ocozie, his sone, regnede for hym.
Ɛberɛ a Ahab wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
41 Forsothe Josephat, sone of Asa, bigan to regne on Juda in the fourthe yeer of Achab, kyng of Israel.
Asa babarima Yehosafat bɛdii Yuda so ɛberɛ a na Ahab adi adeɛ wɔ Israel ne mfeɛ ɛnan so no.
42 Josephat was of fyue and thretti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede fyue and twenti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Azuba, douyter of Salai.
Ɔdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduasa enum, na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonu enum. Na ne maame din de Asuba a ɔyɛ Silhi babaa.
43 And he yede in al the weye of Asa, his fadir, and bowide not fro it; and he dide that, that was riytful in the siyt of the Lord. Netheles he dide not awey hiy thingis, for yit the puple made sacrifice, and brente encense in hiy places.
Na Yehosafat yɛ ɔhene papa a ɔdii nʼagya Asa anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ adeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Nanso, nʼahennie mu no, wantumi ammubu abosonnan enti, nnipa kɔɔ so bɔɔ afɔdeɛ, hyee aduhwam wɔ hɔ.
44 And Josephat hadde pees with the king of Israel.
Yehosafat ne Israelhene tenaa ase asomdwoeɛ mu.
45 Sotheli the residue of wordis of Josephat, and the werkis and batels, whiche he dide, whethir these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Juda?
Nsɛm a ɛfa Yehosafat ahennie ho nkaeɛ no, faako a ne tumi kɔduruiɛ ne ako a ɔdiiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
46 But also he took awey fro the loond the relikis of men turned in to wymmens condiciouns, that leften in the daies of Aza, his fadir.
Ɔpamoo abosomfie so adwamanfoɔ a na wɔgu so bɔ adwaman, firi nʼagya Asa berɛ so no nyinaa.
47 Nethir a kyng was ordeyned thanne in Edom.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na ɔhene nni Edom gye kuro no sohwɛfoɔ nko.
48 Forsothe king Josephat made schippis in the see, that schulden seile in to Ophir for gold, and tho myyten not go, for thei weren brokun in Asiongaber.
Yehosafat yɛɛ adwadihyɛn bebree sɛ ɛnkɔ Ofir nkɔpɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Nanso, ahyɛn no antumi anyɛ adwuma, ɛsɛee wɔ Esion-Geber.
49 Thanne Ocozie, sone of Achab, seide to Josephat, My seruauntis go with thine in schippis.
Saa ɛberɛ no, Ahab babarima Ahasia susuu ho kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Ma me mmarima ne wo mmarima nkɔ ɛpo so akwan nsrahwɛ.” Nanso, Yehosafat ampene so.
50 And Josephat nolde. And Josephat slepte with hise fadris, and was biried with hem in the citee of Dauid, his fadir; and Joram, his sone, regnede for hym.
Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
51 Forsothe Ocozie, sone of Achab, bigan to regne on Israel, in Samarie, in the seuenetenthe yeer of Josephat, kyng of Juda; and Ocozie regnede on Israel twei yeer.
Ahab babarima Ahasia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israel so ɛberɛ a na Yehosafat adi adeɛ mfeɛ dunson wɔ Yuda. Ɔdii adeɛ Samaria mfeɛ mmienu.
52 And he dide yuel in the siyt of the Lord, and yede in the wey of his fadir, and of his modir, and in the weie of Jeroboam, sone of Nabath, that made Israel to do synne.
Na ɔfaa nʼagya ne ne maame ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam anammɔn so, somm ahoni, yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
53 And he seruyde Baal, and worschipide hym, and wraththide the Lord God of Israel, bi alle thingis whiche his fadir hadde do.
Ɔsomm Baal, sɔree no, nam so fuu Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, bo sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛeɛ no.
