< 2 Chronicles 21 >

1 And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigneth in his stead.
Ɛberɛ a Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Yehoram dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
2 And he hath brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these [are] sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,
Yehoram nuanom mmarima a na wɔyɛ Yehosafat mmammarima foforɔ bi no ne Asaria, Yehiel, Sakaria, Asaria, Mikael ne Sefatia.
3 and their father giveth to them many gifts of silver and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah, and the kingdom he hath given to Jehoram, for He [is] the first-born.
Wɔn agya maa wɔn mu biara akyɛdeɛ a ɛsom bo, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ, na afei, ɔde Yuda nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no bi kyekyɛɛ wɔn. Na ɛsiane sɛ Yehoram yɛ abakan enti, ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene.
4 And Jehoram riseth up over the kingdom of his father, and strengtheneth himself, and slayeth all his brethren with the sword, and also — of the heads of Israel.
Na ɛberɛ a Yehoram ahennie timiiɛ no, ɔkunkumm ne nuammarima no nyinaa ne Israelfoɔ ntuanofoɔ bi.
5 A son of thirty and two years [is] Jehoram in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
Ɛberɛ a Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu. Na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe.
6 and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab hath been to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,
Na Yehoram yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Israel ahemfo yɛeɛ. Na ɔyɛ otirimuɔdenfoɔ te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, ɛfiri sɛ, na waware Ahab mmammaa no mu baako. Enti Yehoram yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
7 and Jehovah hath not been willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He had said to give to him a lamp, and to his sons — all the days.
Nanso, na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Dawid ahennie nnidisoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefoɔ bɛkɔ so adi ɔhene afebɔɔ.
8 In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and cause a king to reign over them;
Yehoram berɛ so na Edomfoɔ sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wɔsii wɔn ankasa wɔn ɔhene.
9 and Jehoram passeth over with his heads, and all the chariots with him, and it cometh to pass, he hath risen by night and smiteth the Edomites who are coming round against him, and the princes of the chariots,
Enti, Yehoram de akodɔm ne ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa kɔto hyɛɛ Edom so. Edomfoɔ twaa ɔno ne ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ho hyiaeɛ, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum mu dwaneeɛ.
10 and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah unto this day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time from under his hand, because he hath forsaken Jehovah, God of his fathers,
Edom ade ne ho a ɔnhyɛ Yuda ase de bɛsi ɛnnɛ. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, Libna kuro tee atua, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yehoram atwe ne ho afiri Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn ho.
11 also, he hath made high places in the mountains of Judah, and causeth the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom, and compelleth Judah.
Na wasisi abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ wɔ Yuda mmepɔ asase so, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda akɔsom abosonsomfoɔ anyame.
12 And there cometh in unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, Because that thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Na odiyifoɔ Elia twerɛɛ saa krataa yi kɔmaa Yehoram: “Asɛm a Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: ‘Woanni wʼagya Yehosafat anaa wo nana Yudahene Asa nhwɛsoɔpa so.
13 and thou dost walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and dost cause Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom like the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also thy brethren, the house of thy father, who are better than thyself, thou hast slain;
Mmom, woayɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sɛ Israel ahemfo. Woama Yerusalemfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ akɔsom ahoni te sɛ deɛ ɔhene Ahab yɛɛ wɔ Israel no. Na mpo, woakunkum wʼankasa wo nuanom mmarima a na wɔdi mu sene wo.
14 lo, Jehovah is smiting — a great smiting — among thy people, and among thy sons, and among thy wives, and among all thy goods —
Enti afei, Awurade de ɔhaw kɛseɛ bɛba wo, wo nkurɔfoɔ, wo mma, wo yerenom ne biribiara a ɛyɛ wo dea so.
15 and thou, with many sicknesses, with disease of thy bowels, till thy bowels come out, by the sickness, day by day.'
Wʼankasa deɛ, wɔde nsono mu yadeɛ a ɛyɛ ya yie bɛto wo so kɔsi sɛ wʼayamudeɛ bɛtu apue.’”
16 And Jehovah waketh up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] beside the Cushim,
Na Awurade kaa Filistifoɔ ne Arabfoɔ a na wɔte bɛn Etiopiafoɔ so sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yehoram so.
17 and they come up into Judah, and rend it, and take captive all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and also his sons, and his wives, and there hath not been left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
Wɔbɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yuda so, kɔbubuu ne banbɔdeɛ nyinaa, foo aboɔden nneɛma a ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ a ne mmammarima ne ne yerenom ka ho. Ne babarima kumaa Yehoahas nko na wɔgyaa no.
18 And after all this hath Jehovah plagued him in his bowels by a disease for which there is no healing,
Yei akyi na Awurade maa nsono mu yadeɛ a ano yɛ den bɔɔ Yehoram.
19 and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.
Ɛberɛ no mu ara, mfeɛ mmienu akyi, yadeɛ no maa nʼayamdeɛ pueeɛ, na ɔwuu ɔyea mu. Ne nkurɔfoɔ ammɔ ogyatannaa kɛseɛ, amfa anhyɛ no animuonyam wɔ nʼayiyɛ mu sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ maa nʼagyanom no.
20 A son of thirty and two [years] was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he goeth without desire, and they bury him in the city of David, and not in the graves of the kings.
Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu, na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe. Ɔwuiɛ no, anyɛ obiara awerɛhoɔ. Wɔsiee no Dawid kurom, nanso ɛnyɛ adehyeɛ asieeɛ.
