1 Josias was of eiyte yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnyde oon and thritti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Ydida, the douytir of Phadaia of Besechath.
Bere a Yosia dii hene wɔ Yuda no, na wadi mfirihyia awotwe, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfe aduasa baako. Na ne na din de Yedida a ɔyɛ Adaia a ofi Boskat no babea.
2 And he dide that, that was plesaunt bifor the Lord, and he yede be alle the wayes of Dauid, his fadir; he bowide not, nethir to the riytside, nethir of the leftside.
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani, yɛɛ nea ne tete agya Dawid yɛe no bi. Wamfi adetreneeyɛ ho.
3 Forsothe in the eiytenthe yeer of kyng Josias, the kyng sente Saphan, sone of Asua, the sone of Mesulam, scryueyn, ethir doctour, of the temple of the Lord,
Ɔhene Yosia dii mfirihyia dunwɔtwe wɔ nʼahenni mu no, ɔsomaa Asalia babarima Safan, asennii kyerɛwfo Mesulam nena, kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se,
4 and seide to him, Go thou to Elchie, the grete preest, that the money, which is borun in to the temple of the Lord, be spendid, which money the porteris of the temple han gaderid of the puple;
“Kɔ ɔsɔfopanyin Hilkia nkyɛn, na ma ɔnkan sika a aponanohwɛfo no agyigye afi nnipa no nkyɛn wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu no.
5 and that it be youun to crafti men bi the souereyns of the hows of the Lord; which also departide that money to hem that worchen in the temple of the Lord, to reparele the rooues of the temple of the Lord,
Fa saa sika yi hyɛ nnipa a wɔayi wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ asɔredan no ho asiesie no nsa. Na wɔde atua adwumayɛfo a wobesiesie Awurade Asɔredan no ho ka.
6 that is, to carpenteris, and to masouns, and to hem that maken brokun thingis, and that trees and stoonus of quarieris be bouyt, to reparele the temple of the Lord;
Ɛho behia sɛ wɔbɛfa nnua adwumfo, adansifo ne abohyehyɛfo. Afei, ma wɔntɔ nnua ne abo a wɔatwa a wɔde besiesie asɔredan no.
7 netheles siluer, which thei taken, be not rekynyd to hem, but haue thei in power, and in feith.
Nanso ɛho nhia sɛ adansi no sohwɛfo bebu sika a wɔn nsa bɛka no ho akontaa, efisɛ wɔyɛ nokwafo.”
8 Forsothe Helchie, the bischop, seide to Saphan, the scryuen, Y haue founde the book of the lawe in the hows of the Lord. And Elchie yaf the book to Saphan, the scryuen, which also redde it.
Ɔsɔfopanyin Hilkia ka kyerɛɛ asennii kyerɛwfo Safan se, “Mahu Mmara Nhoma no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.” Na Hilkia de nhoma mmobɔwee no maa Safan, na ɔkenkanee.
9 Also Saphan, the scryuen, cam to the kyng, and telde to hym tho thingis, whiche Elchie hadde comaundid, and he seide, Thi seruauntis han spendid the monei, which was foundun in the hows of the Lord, and yauen, that it schulde be departid to crafti men of the souereyns of werkis of the temple of the Lord.
Safan san kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Wo mpanyimfo no de sika a wogyigyee wɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu no ahyɛ adwumayɛfo no ne sohwɛfo a wɔwɔ asɔredan no ho no nsa.”
10 Also Saphan, the scriueyn, telde to the kyng, and seide, Helchie, the preest of God, yaf to me a book; and whanne Saphan hadde red that book bifor the kyng,
Safan san ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ɔsɔfo Hilkia de nhoma mmobɔwee bi ama me.” Na Safan kenkan kyerɛɛ ɔhene no.
11 and the kyng hadde herd the wordis of the book of the lawe of the Lord, he to-rente hise clothis.
Bere a ɔhene no tee nsɛm a ɛwɔ Awurade Mmara Nhoma no mu no, ɔde ahometew sunsuan ne ntade mu.
12 And he comaundide to Elchie, the preest, and to Aicham, sone of Saphan, and to Achabor, sone of Mycha, and to Saphan, the scryuen, and to Achia, seruaunt of the kyng,
Na ɔhyɛɛ ɔsɔfo Hilkia, Safan babarima Ahikam ne Mikaia babarima Akbor ne asennii kyerɛwfo Safan ne ɔhene fotufo Asaia se,
13 and seide, Go ye, and `counsele ye the Lord on me, and on the puple, and on al Juda, of the wordis of this book, which is foundun; for greet ire of the Lord is kyndlid ayens vs, for oure fadris herden not the wordis of this book, to do al thing which is writun to vs.
“Monkɔ asɔredan no mu, na monkɔkasa nkyerɛ Awurade mma me, mma nnipa no ne Yuda nyinaa. Mummisa no nsɛm a wɔakyerɛw agu nhoma mmobɔwee no a wahu no ho asɛm. Awurade abufuwhyew aba yɛn so, efisɛ yɛn agyanom anni nhoma yi mu nsɛm so. Ɛnyɛ nea nhoma yi ka sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.”
14 Therfor Helchie, the preest, and Aicham, and Achabor, and Saphan, and Asia, yeden to Olda, the prophetesse, the wijf of Sellum, sone of Thecue, sone of Aras, kepere of the clothis, which Olda dwellide in Jerusalem, in the secounde dwellyng; and thei spaken to hir.
Enti ɔsɔfo Hilkia, Ahikam, Akbor, Safan ne Asaia kɔɔ Yerusalem Fa Foforo Misne kohuu odiyifo Hulda. Na ɔyɛ Tikwa babarima Salum yere, a na ɔyɛ Harhas a ɔhwɛ ntade adaka a ɛwɔ asɔredan mu so no nso nena.
15 And sche answeride to hem, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Seie ye to the man,
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn akasa. Monkɔka nkyerɛ onipa a ɔsomaa mo no se,
16 that sente you to me, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal brynge yuelis on this place, and on the dwelleris therof, alle the wordis `of the lawe, whiche the kyng of Juda redde;
‘Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Mɛsɛe kuropɔn yi ne mu nnipa, sɛnea makyerɛw wɔ nhoma mmobɔwee a mokenkan no mu no.
17 for thei forsoken me, and maden sacrifice to alien goddis, and terriden me to ire in alle the werkis of her hondis; and myn indignacioun schal be kyndlid in this place, and schal not be quenchid.
Efisɛ me nkurɔfo agyaw me, na wɔsom anyame huhuw, na biribiara a wɔayɛ no, ahyɛ me abufuw. Mʼabufuwhyew redɛw wɔ ha, na ɛrennum.’
18 Sotheli to the kyng of Juda, that sente you, that ye schulen `counsele the Lord, ye schulen seie thus, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, For thou herdist the wordis of the book,
Na monkɔ Yudahene a ɔsomaa mo sɛ monkɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nkyɛn, na monka nkyerɛ no se, Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka fa asɛm a motee mprempren no ho.
19 and thin herte was aferd, and thou were maad meke bifor the Lord, whanne the wordis weren herd ayens this place and ayens the dwelleris therof, that is, that thei schulden be maad in to wondryng, and in to cursyng, and thou to-rentist thi clothis, and weptist bifor me, and Y herde, seith the Lord;
Wotee asɛm a meka de tiaa kuropɔn no ne emu nnipa no sɛ, wɔbɛdome saa asase yi na ada mpan no, ɛyɛɛ wo yaw, ma wobrɛɛ wo ho ase Awurade anim. Wode ahometew sunsuan wo ntade mu, suu wɔ mʼanim ahonu mu. Enti nokware, Awurade se, ‘mate wo sufrɛ.
20 herfor Y schal gadere thee to thi fadris, and thou schalt be gaderid to thi sepulcre in pees; that thin iyen se not alle the yuelis, whiche Y schal brynge yn on this place.
Amanehunu a mehyɛɛ ho bɔ de tiaa kuropɔn yi no bɛba wo wu ne wusie akyi. Worenhu amane a mede bɛba kuropɔn yi so no.’” Enti wɔsan de ne nkra no kɔmaa ɔhene no.
