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 ɔhene no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii adeɛ mfirinhyia aduonu nkron wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame din de Yehoadan a ɔfiri Yerusalem.
2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah — only, not with a perfect heart.
Amasia yɛɛ deɛ ɛtene wɔ Awurade ani, nanso na ɛmfiri nʼakoma 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,
Ɛberɛ a Amasia timiiɛ wɔ nʼahennie mu yie no, ɔkunkumm mmarima a wɔkumm nʼagya 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 awudifoɔ no mma, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔtiee Awurade ahyɛdeɛ a wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose mmara nwoma no mu no sɛ: Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkunkum awofoɔ wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ enti, anaa wɔkunkum mma wɔ awofoɔ bɔne a wɔayɛ enti. Wɔn a wɔsɛ owuo no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum wɔn wɔ wɔn nnebɔne enti.
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 foforɔ a Amasia yɛeɛ ne sɛ, ɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛeɛ foforɔ wɔ akodɔm no mu, de ntuanofoɔ tuatuaa Yuda ne Benyamin mmusua no mu biara ano. Afei, ɔkanee wɔn hunuu sɛ nʼakodɔm no dodoɔ ano si mmarima ɔpehasa a ɛyɛ wɔn a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ, na wɔatete wɔn nyinaa wɔ peatoɔ ne nkataboɔkura mu.
6 And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones of valour, with a hundred talents of silver;
Ɔsane tuaa dwetɛ tɔno 3.4 sɛ apaabɔdeɛ maa Israel mmarima ɔpeha a wɔnim akodie yie.
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 onipa baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Ao ɔhene, ntua sika mfa akodɔm mfiri Israel, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nka Israel ho. Ɔremmoa saa nnipa a wɔfiri 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 wʼakodɔm ho kɔ ɔko, na moko sɛ ɛdeɛn ara a, wɔbɛdi mo so nkonim. Onyankopɔn bɛtu mo agu, ɛfiri sɛ, 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 onipa no sɛ, “Na dwetɛ a metua kɔbɔɔ Israel akodɔm paa no nso menyɛ no ɛdeɛn?” Onyankopɔn onipa no buaa sɛ, “Awurade bɛtumi ama wo deɛ ɛsene sei 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 pɔnn akodɔm a ɔbɔɔ wɔn paa no, maa wɔsane kɔɔ Efraim. Yei maa wɔn bo fuu Yuda, na wɔsane de abufuhyeɛ kɔɔ efie.
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 nʼakodɔm anim, kɔɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa no mu. Ɛhɔ na wɔkumm Edomfoɔ akodɔm a wɔfiri Seir no ɔpedu.
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 ɔpedu bio de wɔn kɔɔ abotan tenten bi atifi, kɔsunsumm wɔn ma wɔbɛhwee abotan a ɛwɔ bepɔ no ase no so, tetee 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 akodɔm a Amasia kɔbɔɔ wɔn paa a ɔma wɔsane kɔeɛ no tohyɛɛ Yuda nkuro bebree a ɛwɔ Samaria ne Bet-Horon ntam no so. Wɔkunkumm nnipa mpensa, tasee asadeɛ 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.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Amasia dii Edomfoɔ so a ɔreba no, ɔde ahoni a ɔtase firii Seirfoɔ nkyɛn kaa ne ho baeɛ. Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ sɛ ɔno ankasa anyame, kotoo wɔn anim, bɔɔ afɔdeɛ 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?'
Yei hyɛɛ Awurade abufuo yie enti, ɔsomaa odiyifoɔ sɛ ɔnkɔbisa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wosom anyame a mpo wɔntumi nnye wɔn ankasa nkurɔfoɔ nkwa mfiri wɔn 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 ɔkaa sɛ, “Da bɛn na mebisaa wo afotuo? Mua wʼano na mankum wo!” Enti, ansa na odiyifoɔ no rebɛkɔ no, ɔbɔɔ saa kɔkɔ yi, “Menim sɛ ɛsiane sɛ woayɛ saa enti, Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wo, ɛfiri sɛ, woantie mʼafotuo.”
17 And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Akyire a Yudahene Amasia kɔɔ nʼafotufoɔ nkyɛn kɔbisaa afotuo no, ɔde sii Israelhene Yoas a na ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima, na ɔyɛ Yehu nana nso anim sɛ, “Bra na yɛnni 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 de abasɛm buaa Yudahene Amasia sɛ, “Nkasɛɛ a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔ so somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ dutan ntweneduro nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Fa wo babaa ma me babarima awadeɛ.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi firi wiram bɛtiatiaa nkasɛɛ 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?'
Nokorɛm, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdie no, na tena wo fie. Adɛn enti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafoɔ 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, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn resiesie ɛkwan bi afa so asɛe no, sɛ ɔsomm Edom anyame no enti.
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 nʼakodɔm ano kɔtiaa Yudahene Amasia. Akodɔm mmienu no hyiaa wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
22 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee — each to his tents.
Israel akodɔm dii Yuda so nkonim, maa wɔbɔɔ ahweteɛ, dwane 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 ɔsane de no baa Yerusalem. Afei, Yehoas hyɛɛ nʼakodɔm sɛ, wɔnsɛe Yerusalem ɔfasuo no anammɔn ahansia a ɛfiri Efraim ɛpono ano, kɔsi Twɛtwɛwa Ɛpono 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 ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu a na Obed-Edom hwɛ so no nyinaa. Afei, ɔfaa adekoradan a na ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ mu nneɛma kaa nnommumfoɔ no ho, na ɔsane 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 owuo akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfirinhyia 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 ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ a ɛfiri ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nwoma mu.
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 danee ne ho firii Awurade akyi no, wɔpamm ne tiri so wɔ Yerusalem. Ɛno enti, ɔdwane kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfoɔ somaa awudifoɔ, tii no kɔkumm 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 bɛsiee no kaa nʼagyanom ho wɔ Dawid kurom.
