2 Kings 10
1 Forsothe seuenti sones in Samarie weren to Achab. Therfor Hieu wroot lettris, and sente in to Samarie to the beste men of the citee, and to the gretter men in birthe, and to alle the nurschis of Achab, and seide,
Na Ahab wɔ mmabarima aduɔson a wɔtete Samaria. Na Yehu kyerɛw krataa, kyekyɛ maa kurow no mpanyimfo, ntuanofo ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ Ahab mmabarima no so no. Na krataa no ka se,
2 Anoon as ye han take these lettris, ye that han the sones of youre lord, and the charis, and horsis, and stronge citees, and armeris,
“Ɔhene mmabarima no wɔ mo nkyɛn. Ne nteaseɛnam, nʼapɔnkɔ, kurow a wɔabɔ ho ban ne akode nyinaa nso saa ara. Sɛ mo nsa ka saa krataa yi ara pɛ a,
3 chese the beste, and hym that plesith to you of the sones of youre lord, and sette ye him on the trone of his fadir, and fiyte ye for the hows of youre lord.
munyi ɔhene Ahab mmabarima no mu nea ɔfata a ɔwɔ mu no, na munsi no mo so hene, na munsiesie mo ho nko mma Ahab fi.”
4 And thei dredden greetli, and seiden, Lo! twei kyngis myyten not stonde bifor hym, and how schulen we mowe ayenstonde hym?
Nanso wɔbɔɔ huboa kae se, “Ahemfo baanu mpo antumi annyina, antia saa ɔbarima yi! Na dɛn na yebetumi ayɛ?”
5 Therfor the souereyns of the hows, and the prefect of the citee, and the grettere men in birthe, and the nurchis senten to Hieu, and seiden, We ben thi seruauntis; what euer thingis thou comaundist, we schulen do, and we schulen not make a kyng to vs; do thou what euer thing plesith thee.
Enti mpanyimfo a wɔhwɛ ahemfi hɔ ne kurow no so ne ntuanofo ahorow no ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ ɔhene mmabarima so no de saa nkra yi kɔmaa Yehu se, “Yɛyɛ wo nkoa, na biribiara a wobɛka sɛ yɛnyɛ no, yɛbɛyɛ. Yɛrensi obiara hene. Nea wususuw sɛ eye biara no, yɛ.”
6 Forsothe he wroot ayen to hem lettris the secunde tyme, and seide, If ye ben myne, and obeien to me, take ye the heedis of the sones of youre lord, and come ye to me in this same our to morewe in to Jezrael. Sotheli the sones of the kyng, seuenti men, weren nurschid at the beste men of the citee.
Yehu kyerɛw krataa a ɛto so abien de buae se, “Sɛ mowɔ mʼafa, na mubetie mʼasɛm de a, ɔkyena sesɛɛ mmere mu, momfa ɔhene no mmabarima ti mmrɛ me wɔ Yesreel.” Na Samaria ntuanofo bi na wɔhwɛ ɔhene mmabarima aduɔson no so a wɔatetew wɔn fi wɔn mmofraase pɛɛ.
7 And whanne the lettris hadden come to hem, thei token the sones of the kyng, and killiden seuenti men, and puttiden the heedis of hem in coffyns; and senten to hym in to Jezrael.
Krataa no duu ara pɛ, na ntuanofo no kunkum ɔhene no mmabarima aduɔson no nyinaa. Wɔde wɔn ti no guu nkɛntɛn mu, na wɔde kɔmaa Yehu wɔ Yesreel.
8 Forsothe a messanger cam to hym, and schewide to hym, and seide, Thei han brouyt the heedis of the sones of the king. Which answeride, Putte ye tho heedis to tweyne hepis, bisidis the entring of the yate, til the morewtid.
Ɔbɔfo kɔɔ Yehu nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wɔde ɔhene mmabarima no ti no aba.” Enti Yehu hyɛe se, “Mommoaboa ano akuw abien wɔ kurow no pon ano, na munnyaw hɔ nkosi adekyee.”
9 And whanne it was cleer dai, he yede out, and stood, and seide to al the puple, Ye ben iust men; if Y conspiride ayens my lord, and killide hym, who killide alle these?
Ade kyee no, ɔkɔkasa kyerɛɛ dɔm a wɔahyia hɔ no se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ obi bɔ mo sobo. Me na mebɔɔ pɔw, de tiaa me wura, nam so kum no. Na hena na okunkum eyinom?
10 Therfor se ye now, that noon of the wordis of the Lord felde doun in to the erthe, whiche the Lord spak on the hows of Achab; and the Lord hath do that, that he spak in the hond of his seruaunt, Elie.
Nea ɛwɔ hɔ ne sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn a wɔka faa Ahab fi ho no ba mu. Awurade nam ne somfo Elia so daa no adi sɛ eyi bɛba mu.”
11 Therfor Hieu smoot alle that weren residue of the hows of Achab in Jezrael, and alle the beste men of hym, and knowun men, and preestis, til no relikis of hym leften.
Na Yehu kunkum Ahab abusuafo a wɔtete Yesreel no ne ne mpanyimfo atitiriw ne nnamfonom ne nʼakɔmfo nyinaa. Enti anka Ahab aseni biara.
12 And he roos, and cam in to Samarie; and whanne he hadde come to the chaumbir of schepherdis in the weie,
Na Yehu fii hɔ kɔɔ Samaria. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔkɔdaa Bet-Eked nguanhwɛfo ahɔhodan mu.
13 he foond the britheren of Ocozie, kyng of Juda; and he seide to hem, Who ben ye? And thei answeriden, We ben the britheren of Ocozie, and we comen doun to grete the sones of the kyng and the sones of the queen.
Ohyiaa Yudahene Ahasia abusuafo bi. Obisae se, “Moyɛ hefo?” Wobuae se, “Yɛyɛ ɔhene Ahasia abusuafo. Yɛrekɔsra ɔhene Ahab mmabarima ne ɔhemmea no.”
14 Which Hieu seide, Take ye hem quyke. And whanne thei hadden take hem quyke, thei strangliden hem in the cisterne, bisidis the chaumbre, two and fourti men; and he lefte not ony of hem.
Yehu teɛɛ mu, ka kyerɛɛ ne mmarima se, “Monkyere wɔn anikann.” Na wɔkyekyeree nnipa aduanan abien no nyinaa kunkum wɔn wɔ Bet-Eked abura so. Wannyaw wɔn mu biara.
15 And whanne he hadde go fro thennus, he foond Jonadab, the sone of Rechab, in to meetyng of hym; and he blesside hym. And Hieu seide to hym, Whether thin herte is riytful with myn herte, as myn herte is with thin herte? And Jonadab seide, It is. Hieu seide, If `it is, yyue thin hond. Which yaf his hond to hym; and he reiside hym to hym silf in to the chare.
Bere a Yehu fii hɔ no, ohyiaa Rekab babarima Yehonadab a na ɔrebehyia no. Wokyiakyiaa wɔn ho wiei no, Yehu bisaa no se, “Wowɔ me ho adwene pa, sɛnea mewɔ wo ho adwene pa no ana?” Yehonadab buae se, “Yiw.” Yehu toaa so se, “Sɛ ɛte saa de a, kyia me.” Yehonadab teɛɛ ne nsa ma Yehu kyiaa no, de no tenaa teaseɛnam no mu.
16 And he seide to hym, Come thou with me, and se my feruent loue for the Lord.
Na Yehu kae se, “Afei, wo ne me nkɔ, na hu sɛnea mede me ho ama Awurade no.” Enti Yehonadab ne no tenaa teaseɛnam no mu kɔe.
17 And he ledde hym, put in hys chare, in to Samarie. And he killide alle men that weren residue of Achab in Samarie `til to oon, bi the word of the Lord, which he spak bi Elie.
Bere a Yehu duu Samaria no, okunkum Ahab fifo a wɔaka wɔ hɔ no nyinaa, sɛnea Awurade nam Elia so hyɛe no.
18 Therfor Hieu gaderide to gidere alle the puple, and seide to hem, Achab worschipide Baal a litil, but Y schal worschipe hym more.
Na Yehu frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no nyinaa nhyiamu, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ahab som Baal kakra; Yehu bɛsom no yiye.
19 Now therfor clepe ye to me alle the prophetis of Baal, and alle hise seruauntis, and alle hise preestis; `noon be that come not, for grete sacrifice is of me to Baal; who euer schal faile, he schal not lyue. Forsothe Hieu dide this bi tresoun, that he schulde distrie alle the worschipers of Baal.
Momfrɛ Baal adiyifo, asomfo ne nʼakɔmfo nyinaa mmra. Monhwɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara bɛba, efisɛ merebɛbɔ Baal afɔre kɛse. Obiara a ɔsom Baal a wamma no, wobekum no.” Na Yehu redaadaa wɔn, sɛnea ɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsom Baal no nyinaa.
20 And he seide, Halewe ye a solempne day to Baal.
Afei, Yehu hyɛe se, “Munhyia, mmɔ gua anibere so, na monsɔre Baal!” Enti wɔyɛɛ saa.
21 And he clepide, and sente in to alle the termes of Israel; and alle the seruauntis of Baal camen, `noon was residue, and sotheli `not oon was that cam not. And thei entriden in to the temple of Baal; and the hows of Baal was fillid, fro oon ende `til to `the tothir.
Ɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ Israel mmaa nyinaa, kɔfrɛɛ wɔn a wɔsom Baal no nyinaa. Wɔn nyinaa ba bɛhyɛɛ Baal abosomfi hɔ ma tɔ, fi ti kosi ti.
22 And he seide to hem that weren souereyns ouer the clothis, Bringe ye forth clothis to alle the seruauntis of Baal; and thei brouyten forth clothis to hem.
Na Yehu hyɛɛ nea ɔhwɛ ntadedaka no so no se, “Hwɛ ma obiara a ɔsom Baal no nhyɛ batakari yi baako.” Enti wɔkyekyɛɛ batakari maa wɔn.
23 And Hieu entride, and Jonadab, the sone of Rechab, in to the temple of Baal. And Hieu seide to the worschiperis of Baal, Enquere ye, and se, lest perauenture ony of the seruauntis of the Lord be with you; but that the seruauntis be aloone of Baal.
Na Yehu ne Rekab babarima Yehonadab kɔɔ Baal abosomfi hɔ. Yehu ka kyerɛɛ Baal asomfo no se, “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ Baal asomfo no nko ara na wɔwɔ ha. Mommma obiara a ɔsom Awurade no mma mu.”
24 Therfor thei entriden, to make slayn sacrifices, and brent sacrifices. Sotheli Hieu hadde maad redi to hym with outforth foure scoore men, and hadde seid to hem, Who euer schal fle of alle these, whiche Y schal brynge in to youre hondis, the lijf of hym schal be for the lijf of hym that ascapith.
Enti na wɔn nyinaa wɔ abosomfi hɔ rekɔbɔ afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre. Yehu de nʼasraafo aduɔwɔtwe twaa ɔdan no ho hyiae, hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ moma obi guan a, mo ara mode mo nkwa betwa so.”
25 Forsothe it was don, whanne the brent sacrifice was fillid, Hieu comaundide to hise knyytis and duykis, Entre ye, and sle hem, that noon ascape. And the knyytis and duykis smytiden `hem bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and castiden forth. And `thei yeden into the citee of the temple of Baal,
Yehu wiee ɔhyew afɔre no bɔ ara pɛ, ɔhyɛɛ nʼawɛmfo ne ne mpanyimfo no se, “Munkokunkum wɔn nyinaa. Mommma ɔbaako koraa nguan!” Enti wɔde wɔn afoa kunkum wɔn nyinaa. Na awɛmfo no ne mpanyimfo no twee wɔn amu no beguu abɔnten. Yehu asraafo no kɔɔ Baal abosomfi no aban mu.
26 and thei brouyten forth the ymage fro the temple of Baal,
Wɔtwee Baal adum no a na wɔde som no no, sɛee no.
27 and brenten it, and al to braken it. Also thei destrieden the hows of Baal, and maden priuyes for it `til in to this dai.
Wobubuu Baal adum no, sɛee nʼabosomfi no pasaa, de hɔ yɛɛ ɔmanfo agyananbea. Na ɛda so yɛ agyananbea de besi nnɛ.
28 Therfor Hieu dide awei Baal fro Israel;
Yehu nam saa ɔkwan yi so, de tɔree Baalsom ase korakora wɔ Israelman mu.
29 netheles he yede not awei fro the synnes of Jeroboam, sone of Nabath, that made Israel to do synne, nether he forsook the goldun caluys, that weren in Bethel and in Dan.
Nanso Yehu ansɛe sika nantwimma a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Dan no; wantwe ne ho amfi bɔne kɛse a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israelfo anim ma wɔyɛe no ho.
30 Forsothe the Lord seide to Hieu, For thou didist bisili that that was riytful, and pleside in myn yyen, and hast do ayens the hows of Achab alle thingis that weren in myn herte, thi sones `til to the fourthe generacioun schulen sitte on the trone of Israel.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yehu se, “Woayɛ ade sɛ wutiee mʼasɛm, nam so sɛee Ahab fifo. Ne saa nti, mɛma wʼasefo adi ahene wɔ Israel, akosi awo ntoatoaso anan so.”
31 Forsothe Hieu kepte not, that he yede in the lawe of the Lord God of Israel in al his herte; for he yede not awei fro the synnes of Jeroboam, that made Israel to do synne.
Nanso Yehu amfa ne koma anni Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn mmara no so. Wantwe ne ho amfi ahonisom a Yeroboam dii Israelfo anim, ma wɔyɛɛ no ho.
32 In tho daies the Lord bigan to be anoyed on Israel; and Asahel smoot hem in alle the coostis of Israel,
Saa mmere no, Awurade fii ase tew Israel asase no kɛse so. Ɔhene Hasael dii ɔman no afaafa bebree so
33 fro Jordan ayens the eest coost, al the lond of Galaad, and of Gad, and of Ruben, and of Manasses, fro Aroer which is on the stronde of Arnon, and Galaad, and Baasan.
wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam wɔ Gilead nyinaa, a Gad, Ruben ne Manase ka ho. Odii asase a efi Aroer kurow a ɛda Arnon Subon ho, de kosi atifi fam wɔ Gilead ne Basan.
34 Forsothe the residue of wordis of Hieu, and alle thingis whiche he dide, and his strengthe, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Israel?
Na Yehu ahenni mu nsɛm a esisii, ne dwuma ahorow a odii ne nea otumi yɛe no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
35 And Hieu slepte with hise fadris; and thei birieden hym in Samarie; and Joachaz, his sone, regnyde for hym.
Bere a Yehu wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yehoahas na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
36 Forsothe the daies, in whiche Hieu regnede on Israel in Samarie, ben eiyte and twenti yeer.
Nna a Yehu de dii Israel so wɔ Samaria no yɛ mfe aduonu awotwe.
