2 Kings 12
1 Joas regnede in the seuenthe yeer of Hieu; Joas regnede fourti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Sebia of Bersabee.
Ɔhene Yehu adedie wɔ Israel no mfeɛ nson so, na Yoas nso dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ aduanan. Na ne maame Sibia firi Beer-Seba.
2 And Joas dide riytfulnesse bifor the Lord in alle the daies, in whiche Joiada, the preest, tauyte hym.
Yoas asetena mu nyinaa, ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada kyerɛkyerɛ no.
3 Netheles he dide noyt awey hiy thingis; for yit the puple made sacrifice, and brente encense in hiye thingis.
Na Yoas 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.
4 And Joas seide to the preestis, `Preestis bi her ordre take al that money of hooli thingis, which is brouyt of men passyng forth in to the temple of the Lord, `which money is offrid for the prijs of soule, and `which money thei bryngen wilfuli, and bi the fredom of her herte, in to the temple of the Lord.
Ɛda bi, ɔhene Yoas ka kyerɛɛ asɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Mommoaboa sika a wɔde ba Awurade asɔredan mu sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no, sɛ ɛyɛ daa daa toɔ tua, aboadeɛ anaa akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri ɔpɛ mu no.
5 And `the preestis reparele the hilyngis of the hows, if thei seen ony thing nedeful in reparelyng.
Momma asɔfoɔ no mfa sika no bi nkɔtua asɔredan no nsiesie ho ka biara.”
6 Therfor the preestis repareliden not the hilyngis of the temple, `til to the thre and twentithe yeer of kyng Joas.
Nanso, ɔhene Yoas dii adeɛ mfeɛ aduonu mmiɛnsa no, na asɔfoɔ no nsiesiee Asɔredan no.
7 And Joas, the kyng, clepide Joiada, the bischop, and the prestis, and seide to hem, Whi han ye not reparelid the hilyngis of the temple? Therfor nyle ye more take money bi youre ordre, but yelde it to the reparacioun of the temple.
Enti, ɔhene Yoas soma kɔfrɛɛ Yehoiada ne asɔfoɔ a aka no, bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na monsiesiee asɔredan no? Mommfa akyɛdeɛ no nhyɛ mo ho bio. Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekɔ, ɛsɛ sɛ mode ne nyinaa siesie asɔredan no.”
8 And the prestis weren forbodun to take more the money of the puple, and to reparele the hilyngis of the hows.
Enti, asɔfoɔ no penee so sɛ wɔrennyegye sika mfiri nnipa no nkyɛn bio. Wɔpenee so nso sɛ, wɔn ankasa rensiesie Asɔredan no.
9 And Joiada, the bischop, took a cofere of tresorie, and openyde an hole aboue, and settide it bisidis the auter, at the riytside of men entrynge in to the hows of the Lord; and preestis, that kepten the doris, senten in it al the money that was brouyt to the temple of the Lord.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada tuu tokuro wɔ adaka kɛseɛ bi atifi, de sii afɔrebukyia no nifa so wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no kwan ano. Asɔfoɔ a wɔwɛn ɛkwan no ano no de nnipa no ntoboa nyinaa guu adaka no mu.
10 And whanne thei sien that ful myche money was in the tresorie, the scryuen of the kyng and the bischop stieden, and schedden it out, and thei noumbriden the money that was founden in the hous of the Lord.
Ɛberɛ biara a adaka no bɛyɛ ma no, asɔre twerɛfoɔ ne ɔsɔfopanin no kan sika a wɔde aba Awurade Asɔredan no mu no nyinaa, de gu nkotokuo mu.
11 And thei yauen it bi noumbre and mesure in the hond of hem, that weren souereyns to the masouns of the hows of the Lord, whiche `spendiden that money in `crafti men of trees, and in these masouns, that wrouyten in the hous of the Lord,
Afei, wɔde sika no ma dwumadie hwɛsofoɔ no, ma wɔde tua nnipa a wɔresiesie Awurade Asɔredan no ka, nnua adwumfoɔ, adansifoɔ,
12 and maden the hilyngis, and in these men that hewiden stoonys; and that thei schulden bie trees and stoonys, that weren hewid doun; so that the reparacioun of the hows of the Lord was fillid in alle thingis, that nediden cost to make strong the hows.
abohyehyɛfoɔ ne abotwafoɔ. Wɔde sika no bi nso tɔ nnua ne aboɔ a wɔatwa, a wɔde bɛsiesie Awurade asɔredan no. Na ɛka biara a ɛba Asɔredan no nsiesie ho no, wɔtua.
13 Netheles water pottis of the temple of the Lord weren not maad of the same money, and fleischokis, and censeris, and trumpis; ech vessel of gold and of siluer weren not maad of the money, that was brouyt in to the temple of the Lord.
Na wɔamfa sika a wɔde bɛba Asɔredan mu hɔ no anyɛ dwetɛ nkuruwa, nkanea akapɛ, nkyɛnsee akɛseɛ, ntotorobɛnto anaa nneɛma a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ anaa dwetɛ yɛ ma Awurade Asɔredan no.
14 For it was youun to hem that maden werk, that the temple of the Lord schulde be reparelid.
Na wɔde tuaa adwumayɛfoɔ no ka, ma wɔde siesiee asɔredan no.
15 And rekenyng was not maad to these men that token monei, that thei schulden deele it to crafti men; but thei tretiden it in feith.
Na adwuma no hwɛfoɔ akontabuo biara ho anhia, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔyɛ adwumayɛfoɔ nokwafoɔ.
16 Sotheli thei brouyten not in to the temple of the Lord the money for trespas, and the money for synnes, for it was the preestis.
Nanso, afɔdie ne bɔneyɛ ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no deɛ, na wɔmfa nkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ. Na wɔde ma asɔfoɔ no sɛ wɔn kyɛfa.
17 Thanne Asael, kyng of Sirie, stiede, and fauyte ayen Geth; and he took it, and dresside his face, that he schulde stie in to Jerusalem.
Ɛbɛyɛ saa ɛberɛ yi, Aramhene Hasael kɔko tiaa Gat faeɛ. Afei, ɔdanee ne ho kɔto hyɛɛ Yerusalem so.
18 Wherfor Joas, kyng of Juda, took alle `thingis halewid, whiche Josephat hadde halewid, and Joram, and Ocozie, fadris of hym, kyngis of Juda, and whiche thingis he hadde offrid, and al the siluer, that myyte be foundun in the tresours of the temple of the Lord, and in the paleis of the kyng.
Ɔhene Yoas boaboaa akronkronneɛ a Yehosafat, Yehoram ne Ahasia a na wɔyɛ Yuda ahemfo a wɔatwam no ato edin ama Awurade ne deɛ ɔno ankasa nso ato edin ama Awurade no nyinaa ano. Ɔde ne nyinaa a sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛwɔ akoraeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ ne ahemfie no ka ho no kɔmaa Aramhene Hasael. Enti, ɛmaa Hasael gyaee to a anka ɔrekɔto ahyɛ Yerusalem soɔ no.
19 And he sente to Asael, kyng of Sirie; and he yede awei fro Jerusalem. Sotheli the residue of wordis of Joas, and alle thingis whiche he dide, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Juda?
Nsɛm a ɛsisii wɔ Yoas ahennie mu ne deɛ ɔyɛeɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
20 Forsothe hise seruauntis risiden, and sworen togidere bitwixe hem silf, and smytiden Joas in the hows Mello, and in the goyng doun of Sela.
Nanso, ne mpanimfoɔ pam ne tiri so, kumm no wɔ Bet-Milo ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Sila no so.
21 For Jozachat, sone of Semath, and Joiadath, sone of Soomer, hise seruauntis, smytiden him, and he was deed; and thei birieden hym with hise fadris in the citee of Dauid; and Amasie, his sone, regnyde for hym.
Awudifoɔ no yɛ Simeat babarima Yosabad ne Somer babarima Yehosabad a na wɔn nyinaa yɛ afotufoɔ nokwafoɔ. Wɔsiee Yoas wɔ nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Amasia na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene foforɔ.
