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.
Ɛberɛ a Yosia dii ɔhene wɔ Yuda no, na wadi mfirinhyia nwɔtwe, na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfeɛ aduasa baako. Na ne maame din de Yedida a ɔyɛ Adaia a ɔfiri Boskat no babaa.
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 deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani, na ɔfaa ne tete agya Dawid nhwɛsoɔ. Wammane ankɔ nifa anaa benkum.
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 mfirinhyia dunwɔtwe wɔ nʼahennie mu no, ɔsomaa Asalia babarima Safan, asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ Mesulam nana, kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
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 ɔsɔfopanin Hilkia nkyɛn, na ma ɔnkan sika a apono anohwɛfoɔ no agyegye afiri 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 nsiesie no nsa. Na wɔde atua adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔbɛsiesie 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 bɛhia sɛ wɔbɛfa nnua adwumfoɔ, adansifoɔ ne abohyehyɛfoɔ. Afei, ma wɔntɔ nnua ne aboɔ a wɔatwa a wɔde bɛsiesie 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 adansie no sohwɛfoɔ bɛbu sika a wɔn nsa bɛka no ho nkonta, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.”
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.
Ɔsɔfopanin Hilkia ka kyerɛɛ asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ Safan sɛ, “Mahunu Mmara Nwoma no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.” Na Hilkia de nwoma mmobɔeɛ no maa Safan, na ɔkenkaneeɛ.
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 sane kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, “Wo mpanimfoɔ no de sika a wɔgyegyee wɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu no ama adwumayɛfoɔ no ne sohwɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ asɔredan no ho no.”
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 sane ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Ɔsɔfoɔ Hilkia de nwoma mmobɔeɛ 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.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhene no tee nsɛm a ɛwɔ Awurade Mmara Nwoma no mu no, ɔde ahometeɛ sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ 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 ɔsɔfoɔ Hilkia, Safan babarima Ahikam ne Mikaia babarima Akbor ne asɛnniiɛ twerɛfoɔ Safan ne ɔhene fotufoɔ Asaia sɛ,
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. Mommisa no nsɛm a wɔatwerɛ agu nwoma mmobɔeɛ no a wahunu no ho asɛm. Awurade abufuhyeɛ aba yɛn so, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn agyanom anni nwoma yi mu nsɛm so. Ɛnyɛ deɛ nwoma 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, ɔsɔfoɔ Hilkia, Ahikam, Akbor, Safan ne Asaia kɔɔ Yerusalem Fa Foforɔ Misne kɔhunuu odiyifoɔ Hulda. Na ɔyɛ Tikwa babarima Salum yere, a na ɔyɛ Harhas a ɔhwɛ ntadeɛ adaka a ɛwɔ asɔredan mu so no nso nana.
15 And sche answeride to hem, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Seie ye to the man,
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn akasa. Monkɔka nkyerɛ onipa a ɔsomaa mo no sɛ,
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;
‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Mɛsɛe kuropɔn yi ne mu nnipa, sɛdeɛ matwerɛ wɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ a mokenkaneɛ 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.
Ɛfiri sɛ, me nkurɔfoɔ agya me, na wɔsom anyame huhuo, na biribiara a wɔayɛ no, ahyɛ me abufuo. Mʼabufuhyeɛ redɛre 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 no nkyɛn nkɔhwehwɛ Awurade, na monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, Sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ka fa asɛm a woate no seesei 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 ya, ma wobrɛɛ wo ho ase Awurade anim. Wode ahometeɛ sunsuanee wo ntadeɛ mu, suu wɔ mʼanim ahonu mu. Enti, nokorɛm, 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 wuo ne wosie akyi. Worenhunu amanehunu a mede bɛba kuropɔn yi so no.’” Enti, wɔsane de ne nkra no kɔmaa ɔhene no.
