2 Chronicles 25
1 A son of twenty and five years hath Amaziah reigned, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
Amasia dii hene no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum, na odii ade mfirihyia aduonu akron wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne na din de Yehoadan a ofi Yerusalem.
2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah — only, not with a perfect heart.
Amasia yɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani, nanso na emfi ne koma nyinaa mu.
3 And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong upon him, that he slayeth his servants, those smiting the king his father,
Bere a Amasia tim wɔ nʼahenni mu yiye no, okunkum mmarima a wokum nʼagya a na ɔyɛ ɔhene no.
4 and their sons he hath not put to death, but [did] as is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.'
Nanso wankunkum awudifo no mma, efisɛ otiee Awurade ahyɛde a wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose mmara nhoma no mu no se: Ɛnsɛ sɛ wokunkum awofo wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ nti, anaa wokunkum mma wɔ awofo bɔne a wɔayɛ nti. Wɔn a wɔsɛ owu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum wɔn wɔ wɔn nnebɔne nti.
5 And Amaziah gathereth Judah, and appointeth them, according to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands, and for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he inspecteth them from a son of twenty years and upward, and findeth them three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to the host, holding spear and target.
Ade foforo a Amasia yɛe ne sɛ, ɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛe foforo wɔ asraafo no mu, de ntuanofo tuatuaa Yuda ne Benyamin mmusua no mu biara ano. Afei, ɔkan wɔn huu sɛ nʼakofo a wɔadi mfe aduonu rekɔ no dodow yɛ mmarima mpem ahaasa, na wɔatetew wɔn nyinaa wɔ peawtow ne nkatabokura mu.
6 And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones of valour, with a hundred talents of silver;
Ɔsan tuaa dwetɛ tɔn 3.4 sɛ apaade maa Israel mmarima mpem ɔha a wonim akodi yiye.
7 and a man of God hath come in unto him, saying, 'O king, the host of Israel doth not go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel — all the sons of Ephraim;
Nanso Onyankopɔn nipa baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Ɔhene, ntua sika mfa asraafo mfi Israel, efisɛ Awurade nka Israel ho. Ɔremmoa saa nnipa a wofi Efraim no.
8 but if thou art going — do [it], be strong for battle, God doth cause thee to stumble before an enemy, for there is power in God to help, and to cause to stumble.'
Sɛ woma wɔkɔka wʼakofo ho kɔ ɔko, na moko sɛ dɛn ara a, wobedi mo so nkonim. Onyankopɔn betu mo agu, efisɛ ɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɔboa anaa ɔsɛe.”
9 And Amaziah saith to the man of God, 'And what — to do for the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?' And the man of God saith, 'Jehovah hath more to give to thee than this.'
Amasia bisaa Onyankopɔn nipa no se, “Na dwetɛ a mitua kɔbɔɔ Israel asraafo paa no nso menyɛ no dɛn?” Onyankopɔn nipa no buae se, “Awurade betumi ama wo nea ɛsen sɛɛ koraa.”
10 And Amaziah separateth them — for the troop that hath come in unto him from Ephraim to go to their own place, and their anger doth burn mightily against Judah, and they turn back to their place in the heat of anger.
Enti Amasia pɔn asraafo a ɔbɔɔ wɔn paa no ma wɔsan kɔɔ Efraim. Eyi maa wɔn bo fuw Yuda, na wɔsan de abufuwhyew kɔɔ fie.
11 And Amaziah hath strengthened himself, and leadeth his people, and goeth to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth the sons of Seir — ten thousand.
Na Amasia sii ne bo, dii nʼakofo anim, kɔɔ Nkyene Bon no mu. Ɛhɔ na wokum Edomfo asraafo a wofi Seir no mpem du.
12 And ten thousand alive have the sons of Judah taken captive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been broken.
Wɔkyekyeree mpem du bio de wɔn kɔɔ abotan tenten bi atifi, kosunsum wɔn ma wɔbɛhwee abotan a ɛwɔ bepɔw no ase no so, tetew pasapasa.
13 And the sons of the troop that Amaziah hath sent back from going with him to battle — they rush against cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-Horon, and smite of them three thousand, and seize much prey.
Na asraafo a Amasia kɔbɔɔ wɔn paa a ɔma wɔsan kɔe no tow hyɛɛ Yuda nkurow bebree a ɛwɔ Samaria ne Bet-Horon ntam no so. Wokunkum nnipa mpensa, tasee asade bebree.
14 And it cometh to pass, after the coming in of Amaziah from smiting the Edomites, that he bringeth in the gods of the sons of Seir, and establisheth them to him for gods, and before them doth bow himself, and to them he maketh perfume.
Bere a ɔhene Amasia dii Edomfo so a ɔreba no, ɔde ahoni a ɔtase fii Seirfo nkyɛn kaa ne ho bae. Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ sɛ ɔno ankasa anyame, kotow wɔn anim, bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn.
15 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Amaziah, and He sendeth unto him a prophet, and he saith unto him, 'Why hast thou sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of thy hand?'
Eyi hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw yiye nti, ɔsomaa odiyifo sɛ onkobisa se, “Adɛn nti na wosom anyame a mpo wontumi nnye wɔn ankasa nkurɔfo nkwa mfi wo nsam?”
16 And it cometh to pass, in his speaking unto him, that he saith to him, 'For a counsellor to the king have we appointed thee? cease for thee; why do they smite thee?' And the prophet ceaseth, and saith, 'I have known that God hath counselled to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.'
Nanso ɔhene no amma nʼano ansi, na ɔkae se, “Da bɛn na mibisaa wo afotu? Mua wʼano na mankum wo!” Enti ansa na odiyifo no rebɛkɔ no, ɔbɔɔ saa kɔkɔ yi, “Minim sɛ esiane sɛ woayɛ saa nti, Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wo, efisɛ woantie mʼafotu.”
17 And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Akyiri a Yudahene Amasia kɔɔ nʼafotufo nkyɛn kobisaa afotu no, ɔde sii Israelhene Yoas a na ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima, na ɔyɛ Yehu nena nso anim se, “Bra na yenni ako.”
18 'Come, we look one another in the face.' And Joash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 'The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn.
Na Israelhene Yoas buaa Yudahene Amasia se, “Nsɔe a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔw so somaa abɔfo kɔɔ dutan sida nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Fa wo babea ma me babarima aware.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi fi wuram betiatiaa nsɔe no so sɛee no.
19 Thou hast said, Lo, I have smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to boast; now, abide in thy house, why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?'
Nokware woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdi no, na tena wo fi. Adɛn nti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafo nyinaa so yi?”
20 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, for from God it [is] in order to give them into hand, because they have sought the gods of Edom;
Amasia yɛɛ asoɔden, efisɛ na Onyankopɔn resiesie kwan bi afa so asɛe no, sɛ ɔsom Edom anyame no nti.
21 and go up doth Joash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's,
Na Israelhene Yoas, boaboaa nʼakofo ano kotiaa Yudahene Amasia. Asraafodɔm abien no hyiaa wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
22 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee — each to his tents.
Israel asraafo dii Yuda so nkonim ma wɔbɔɔ ahwete, guan kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
23 And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, hath Joash king of Israel caught in Beth-Shemesh, and bringeth him in to Jerusalem, and breaketh down in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits,
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes, na ɔsan de no baa Yerusalem. Afei, Yehoas hyɛɛ nʼakofo sɛ, wɔnsɛe Yerusalem fasu no anammɔn ahansia a efi Efraim Pon ano, kosi Twɔtwɔw Pon no ano.
24 and [taketh] all the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back to Samaria.
Ɔtasee sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ ne nneɛma ahorow a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu a na Obed-Edom hwɛ so no nyinaa. Afei, ɔfaa adekoradan a na ɛwɔ ahemfi hɔ mu nneɛma kaa nnommum no ho, na ɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
25 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima wu akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfe dunum.
26 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the last, lo, are they not written on the books of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Amasia ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, efi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nhoma no mu ana?
27 And from the time that Amaziah hath turned aside from after Jehovah — they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,
Amasia dan ne ho fii Awurade akyidi no, wɔpam ne ti so wɔ Yerusalem. Ɛno nti, oguan kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso nʼatamfo somaa awudifo, tiw no kokum no wɔ hɔ.
28 and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Wɔde no too ɔpɔnkɔ so baa Yerusalem besiee no kaa nʼagyanom ho wɔ Dawid kurom.
