2 Chronicles 32
1 Aftir whiche thingis and sich treuthe, Senacherib, the kyng of Assiriens, cam and entride in to Juda; and he bisegide stronge citees, and wolde take tho.
Ɔhene Hesekia de nokorɛdie wiee saa dwumadie yi, Asiriahene Sanaherib bɛto hyɛɛ Yuda so, dii so nkonim. Ɔtuaa nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no, na ɔhyɛɛ nʼakodɔm sɛ wɔmmubu wɔn afasuo no, mmɔ nhyɛne mu.
2 And whanne Ezechie hadde herd this thing, that is, that Senacherib was comun, and that al the fersnesse of batel was turned ayens Jerusalem,
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia hunuu sɛ Sanaherib asane ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛto ahyɛ Yerusalem so no,
3 he took counsel with the princes and strongest men, that thei schulden stoppe the heedis of wellis, that weren without the citee; and whanne the sentence of alle men demyde this,
ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ ne nʼasraafoɔ mu afotufoɔ tuu agyina. Wɔsii gyinaeɛ sɛ, wɔbɛsi nsutire no kwan na antene ankɔ kuropɔn no akyi.
4 he gaderide togidere a ful greet multitude, and thei stoppiden alle the wellis, and the ryuer, that flowide in the myddis of the lond; and seiden, Lest the kyngis of Assiriens comen, and fynden abundance of watris.
Wɔboaboaa adwumayɛfoɔ ano sɛ wɔnkɔsi nsutire kwan na antene ankɔ mfuo no mu. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ Asiria ahemfo bɛba ha abɛnya nsuo bebree?”
5 Also he dide wittili, and bildide al the wal that was distride, and he bildide touris aboue, and an other wal withoutforth. And he reparilide Mello in the citee of Dauid; and made armure of al kynde, and scheldis.
Afei, Hesekia miaa ne banbɔ mu, ɔsiesiee ɔfasuo no baabiara a abubuo no, na ɔtoo ɔfasuo foforɔ kaa deɛ ɛwɔ hɔ dada no ho. Ɔsane miaa banbɔ a ɛwɔ Milo a ɛwɔ Dawid kuropɔn no mu no. Afei ɔyɛɛ akodeɛ ne akokyɛm bebree.
6 And he ordeynede princes of werriouris in the oost; and he clepide togidere alle men in the street of the yate of the citee, and spake to the herte of hem,
Ɔyii asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ, ma wɔhwɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no so, na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɛhyia no wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano adwaberem hɔ. Na Hesekia kaa nkuranhyɛsɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
7 and seide, Do ye manli, and be ye coumfortid; nyle ye drede, nether be ye aferd of the kyng of Assiriens, and of al the multitude which is with him; for many mo ben with vs than with him.
“Monyɛ den na momma mo bo nyɛ duru. Monnsuro Asiriahene anaa nʼakodɔm kɛseɛ no, na yɛwɔ tumi a ɛso wɔ yɛn afa.
8 Fleischli arm is with him; `oure Lord God is with vs, which is oure helpere, and schal fiyte for vs. And the puple was coumfortid with sich wordis of Ezechie, kyng of Juda.
Ɛwom sɛ ɔwɔ akodɔm kɛseɛ deɛ, nanso wɔyɛ nnipa kɛkɛ. Yɛwɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛboa yɛn, adi ako ama yɛn.” Saa nsɛm a Hesekia, Yudahene kaeɛ yi hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no nkuran bebree.
9 And aftir that these thingis weren doon, Sennacherib sente hise seruauntis to Jerusalem; for he `with al the oost bisegide Lachis. He sente to Ezechie, kyng of Juda, and to al the puple that was in the citee,
Ɛberɛ a Asiriahene Sanaherib gu so retua Lakis kuro no, ɔsomaa mpanimfoɔ kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔmfa saa nkra yi nkɔma Hesekia ne ne manfoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro no mu nyinaa:
10 and seide, Sennacherib, the kyng of Assiriens, seith these thingis, In whom han ye trist, and sitten bisegid in Jerusalem?
“Sɛdeɛ Asiriahene Sanaherib seɛ nie: Ɛdeɛn na mode mo ho to so, na ɛma mo susu sɛ, mobɛtumi agyina Yerusalem tua yi ano?
11 Whether Ezechie disseyueth you, that he bitake you to deeth in hungur and thirst, and affermeth, that `youre Lord God schal delyuere you fro the hond of the kyng of Assyriens?
Hesekia aka sɛ: ‘Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛgye yɛn afiri Asiriahene nsam.’ Nokorɛm, Hesekia regyegye mo, ama ɛkɔm ne sukɔm akum mo!
12 Whether not this is Ezechie, that distriede hiy places, and auteris of hym, and comaundide to Juda and to Jerusalem, and seide, Ye schulen worschipe bifor oon auter, and therynne ye schulen brenne encense?
Nokorɛm, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ ne sɛ, Hesekia no ara na ɔbubuu Awurade asɔreeɛ ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa. Ɔhyɛɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem sɛ wɔnsom wɔ afɔrebukyia baako pɛ a ɛwɔ Asɔredan no mu no so, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ wɔ ɛno nko ara so.
13 Whether ye witen not what thingis Y haue do, and my fadir, to alle the puplis of londis? Whether the goddis of folkis and of alle londis myyten delyuere her cuntrei fro myn hond?
“Nokorɛm, ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu deɛ me ne Asiria ahemfo a aka no ayɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so. Anyame a na wɔwɔ saa aman no so no tumi gyee wɔn nkurɔfoɔ firii me tumi ase?
14 Who is of alle goddis of folkis, whiche my fadris distrieden, that myyte delyuere his puple fro myn hond, that also youre God may delyuere you fro this hond?
Ma nhwɛsoɔ baako kyerɛ onyame bi a ɔwɔ baabi a ɔtumi gyee ne nkurɔfoɔ firii me nsam! Ɛdeɛn na ɛma wodwene sɛ, wo Onyankopɔn bɛtumi ayɛ ade pa bi?
15 Therfor Ezechie disseyue not you, nether scorne bi veyn counselyng, nethir bileue ye to hym; for if no god of alle folkis and cuntreis myyte delyuere his puple fro myn hond, and fro the hond of my fadris, suyngli nether youre God schal mowe delyuere you fro this myn hond.
Mommma Hesekia mmu mo kwasea. Mommma ɔnnaadaa mo saa! Meti mu, ka bio sɛ, ɔman biara nyame ntumi nnyee ne nkurɔfoɔ mfirii me anaa mʼagyanom nsam da. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mo Onyankopɔn agye mo afiri me tumi ase!”
16 But also hise seruauntis spaken many othir thingis ayenus the Lord God, and ayens Ezechie, his seruaunte.
Na Sanaherib mpanimfoɔ kɔɔ so dii Awurade Onyankopɔn ne ne ɔsomfoɔ Hesekia ho fɛw, twaa no adapaa.
17 Also he wroot epistlis ful of blasfemye ayens the Lord God of Israel, and he spak ayens God, As the goddis of othere folkis myyten not delyuere her puple fro myn hond, so and the God of Ezechie may not delyuere his puple fro myn hond.
Ɔhene no sane twerɛɛ nkrataa de buu Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn animtiaa. Ɔtwerɛɛ sɛ: “Sɛdeɛ anyame a wɔwɔ aman ahodoɔ so antumi annye wɔn nkurɔfoɔ amfiri me tumi ase no, saa ara, na Hesekia Onyankopɔn nso bɛdi nkoguo.”
18 Ferthermore and with greet cry in the langage of Jewis he sownede ayens the puple, that sat on the wallis of Jerusalem, to make hem aferd, and to take the citee.
Asiria mpanimfoɔ a wɔde krataa no baeɛ no teateaam de Hebri kasa kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ kuro no ɔfasuo fasin so, de hunahunaa wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi afa kuropɔn no a wɔmmerɛ ho.
19 And he spake ayens God of Israel, as ayens the goddis of the puplis of erthe, the werkis of mennus hondis.
Saa mpanimfoɔ yi kasa faa Yerusalem Onyankopɔn yi ho te sɛ abosonsomfoɔ anyame no mu baako a wɔde nnipa nsa na ɛyɛeɛ no.
20 Therfor Ezechie, the kyng, and Ysaie, the profete, the sone of Amos, preieden ayens this blasfemye, and crieden til in to heuene.
Afei, ɔhene Hesekia ne Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia bɔɔ mpaeɛ denden, frɛɛ ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn no.
21 And the Lord sente his aungel, that killide ech strong man and werriour, and the prince of the oost of the kyng of Assiriens; and he turnede ayen with schenship `in to his lond. And whanne he hadde entrid in to the hows of his god, the sones, that yeden out of his wombe, killiden hym with swerd.
Na Awurade somaa ɔbɔfoɔ, bɛsɛee Asiria akodɔm ne wɔn asahene ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ nyinaa. Na Sanaherib de aniwuo sane kɔɔ ne kurom. Na ɔwuraa ne nyame abosonnan mu no, ɔno ankasa mmammarima no mu baako twee ne so akofena, kumm no.
22 And the Lord sauyde Ezechie, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem, fro the hond of Senacherib, kyng of Assiriens, and fro the hond of alle men; and yaf to hem reste bi cumpas.
Saa ɛkwan yi na Awurade faa so de gyee Hesekia ne Yerusalem manfoɔ nkwa, firii Asiriahene Sanaherib ne wɔn a wɔhunahuna wɔn no nyinaa nsam. Enti, ɛmaa asomdwoeɛ baa asase no so nyinaa.
23 Also many men brouyten offryngis and sacrifices to the Lord in to Jerusalem, and yiftis to Ezechie, kyng of Juda; which was enhaunsid aftir these thingis bifor alle folkis.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, aman a atwa wɔn ho ahyia no de obuo ne anidie a ɛnni kabea maa ɔhene Hesekia, na wɔde akyɛdeɛ bebree a ɛyɛ Awurade dea kɔɔ Yerusalem, na wɔde nneɛma a ɛsom bo kɔmaa Ɔhene Hesekia nso.
24 In tho daies Ezechie was sijk `til to the deth, and he preiede the Lord; and he herde hym, and yaf to hym a signe;
Ɛberɛ no mu, Hesekia yaree yarewuo. Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ frɛɛ Awurade, maa ɔsaa no yadeɛ daa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ bi adi kyerɛɛ no.
25 but he yeldide not bi the benefices whiche he hadde take, for his herte was reisid; and ire was maad ayens hym, and ayens Juda, and ayens Jerusalem.
Nanso, Hesekia anyɛ adɔeɛ a wɔyɛ kyerɛɛ no no so adeɛ, na mmom, ɔbɛyɛɛ ahantan. Enti, Awurade abufuo baa ɔno, Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa so.
26 And he was mekid aftirward, for his herte was reisid; bothe he was mekid, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem; and therfor the ire of the Lord cam not on hem in the daies of Ezechie.
Enti, Hesekia nuu ne ho wɔ nʼahantansu no ho, na ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no nso brɛɛ wɔn ho ase. Ɛno enti, Hesekia nkwanna mu no, Awurade abufuo amma wɔn so.
27 Forsothe Ezechie was riche, and ful noble, and gaderide to hym silf ful many tresours of siluer, of gold, and of preciouse stoon, of swete smellynge spices, and of armuris of al kynde, and of vessels of greet prijs.
Hesekia nyaa ne ho, na wɔbuu no yie. Ɔsisii adekoradan sononko bi a ɔkoraa ne dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ, nnuhwam, nʼakyɛm ne ne nneɛma a ɛsom bo pii no wɔ mu.
28 Also he bildide large housis of wheete, of wyn, and of oile, and cratchis of alle beestis,
Afei nso, ɔsisii adekoradan de nʼatokoɔ, ne nsã ne ne ngo guu mu; ɔsisii buo bebree maa nʼanantwie ne ne nnwan ne ne mpɔnkye.
29 and fooldis to scheep, and sixe citees. For he hadde vnnoumbrable flockis of scheep and of grete beestis; for the Lord hadde youe to hym ful myche catel.
Ɔkyekyeree nkuro pii, pɛɛ nnwan ne anantwie bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn maa no ahonya bebree.
30 Thilke is Ezechie, that stoppide the hiyere welle of the watris of Gion, and turnede tho awei vndur the erthe at the west of the citee of Dauid; in alle hise werkis he dide `bi prosperite, what euer thing he wolde.
Ɔsii asutire a na ɛwɔ Gihon atifi fam no, na ɔde nsuo no faa dorobɛn mu kɔɔ Dawid kuropɔn atɔeɛ fam. Na biribiara a ɔyɛeɛ no nso, ɛyɛɛ yie.
31 Netheles in the message of the princes of Babiloyne, that weren sent to hym for to axe of the grete wondir, that bifelde on the lond, God forsook hym, that he were temptid, and that alle thingis weren knowun that weren in his herte.
Ɛberɛ a Babilonia ananmusifoɔ bɛbisaa nneɛma titire a asisi wɔ asase no so no, Onyankopɔn twee ne ho firi Hesekia ho, de sɔɔ no hwɛeɛ, pɛɛ sɛ ɔhunu deɛ ɛwɔ nʼakoma mu.
32 Sotheli the residue of wordis of Ezechie, and of hise mercies, ben writun in the profesie of Ysaie, the profete, sone of Amos, and in the book of kyngis of Juda and of Israel.
Hesekia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne nʼahofama no, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia anisoadehunu a ɛka Yuda ne Israel ahemfo nwoma ho no mu.
33 And Ezechie slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden hym aboue the sepulcris of the sones of Dauid. And al Juda and alle the dwelleris of Jerusalem maden solempne the seruyces of his biriyng; and Manasses, his sone, regnide for him.
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ adehyeɛ amusieeɛ no atifi fam, na Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa hyɛɛ no animuonyam ne wuo mu. Afei, ne babarima Manase, dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
