2 Chronicles 36
1 And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
Afei, nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no sii Yosia babarima Yehoahas ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem.
2 A son of three and twenty years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
Ɛberɛ a Yehoahas dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmiɛnsa nanso, ɔdii adeɛ abosome mmiɛnsa pɛ.
3 and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and fineth the land a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;
Misraimhene Neko a na ɔhwehwɛ apeatoɔ a ɛyɛ dwetɛ tɔno mmiɛnsa ne fa ne sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduasa ɛnan afiri Yuda no na ɔtuu no adeɛ so.
4 and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in to Egypt.
Misraimhene yii Yehoahas nuabarima Eliakim sɛ ɔhene foforɔ a ɔbɛdi Yuda ne Yerusalem so, na ɔsesaa Eliakim din yɛɛ no Yehoiakim. Na Neko faa Yehoahas sɛ ɔdeduani de no kɔɔ Misraim.
5 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God;
Yehoiakim dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii ɔhene Yerusalem mfirinhyia dubaako. Nanso, ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn ani so.
6 against him hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon.
Afei, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar kɔɔ Yerusalem, kɔko faeɛ. Ɔde nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guu Yehoiakim de no kɔɔ Babilonia.
7 And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in Babylon.
Nebukadnessar faa ademudeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu bi, de kɔguu nʼahemfie wɔ Babilonia.
8 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead.
Yehoiakim ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, bɔne ahodoɔ a ɔyɛeɛ ne biribiara a wɔhunu tiaa no no wɔatwerɛ, agu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo Nwoma mu. Na ne babarima Yehoiakyin bɛdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
9 A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
Yehoiakyin bɛdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dunwɔtwe, nanso ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem abosome mmiɛnsa ne dadu pɛ. Yehoiakyin yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
10 and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.
Afe a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan mu no, ɔhene Nebukadnessar frɛɛ Yehoiakyin sɛ ɔmmra Babilonia. Wɔfaa ademudeɛ bebree firii Awurade Asɔredan no mu de kɔɔ Babilonia saa ɛberɛ no. Na Nebukadnessar yii Yehoiakyin wɔfa Sedekia, sɛ ɔnni ɔhene wɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem.
11 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
Ɛberɛ a Sedekia bɛdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu baako, na ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dubaako.
12 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah;
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn ani so, na wammrɛ ne ho ase wɔ odiyifoɔ Yeremia a na ɔkasa ma Awurade no anim.
13 and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, God of Israel.
Afei, ɔsɔre tiaa ɔhene Nebukadnessar wɔ ɛberɛ a na waka ntam adi nse wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu sɛ, ɔbɛdi no nokorɛ. Na Sedekia yɛ kyenkyenee ne asoɔden, na wampɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho bɛbata Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ho.
14 Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem.
Asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ nyinaa ne ɔmanfoɔ no kɔɔ so yɛɛ mmaratofoɔ. Wɔyɛɛ abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ aman a atwa ahyia hɔ no nneyɛeɛ no bi, na wɔguu Awurade Asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ho fi.
15 And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers — rising early and sending — for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,
Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn, somaa nʼadiyifoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ wɔn kɔkɔ mpɛn bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma ne nkurɔfoɔ ne nʼAsɔredan no.
16 and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people — till there is no healing.
Nanso, nnipa no dii saa Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ no ho fɛ, amfa wɔn nsɛm no anyɛ hwee. Wɔdii adiyifoɔ no ho fɛ ara kɔsii sɛ Awurade abufuhyeɛ turiiɛ a biribiara antumi annwodwo ano.
17 And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged — the whole He hath given into his hand.
Enti, Awurade de Babiloniahene ba bɛko tiaa wɔn. Babiloniafoɔ no kunkumm Yuda mmabunu maa mpo, wɔtaa wɔn kɔɔ Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔannya ahummɔborɔ amma nnipa no. Wɔkunkumm mmɔfra ne mpanin, mmarima ne mmaa, ahoɔdenfoɔ ne ayarefoɔ. Onyankopɔn de wɔn nyinaa maa Nebukadnessar.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes — the whole he hath brought in to Babylon.
Ɔhene no sane sesaa nneɛma no nyinaa, akɛseɛ ne nketewa a na wɔde som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu, ne ademudeɛ a na ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu ne ahemfie hɔ nyinaa de kɔɔ Babilonia. Ɔde mmapɔmma nyinaa nso kɔeɛ.
19 And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels — to destruction.
Afei, nʼakodɔm no too Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu ogya, bubuu Yerusalem afasuo no, hyee ahemfie no nyinaa, sɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ boɔ no.
20 And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,
Nnipa kakra a wɔkaeɛ no, wɔsoaa wɔn kɔɔ Babilonia, maa wɔkɔyɛɛ ɔhene no ne ne mmammarima asomfoɔ kɔsii sɛ Persia ahennie bɛdii tumi.
21 to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath — to the fulness of seventy years.
Enti, Awurade asɛm a wɔfaa Yeremia so kaeɛ no baa mu. Afei, asase no nso nyaa nʼahomegyeɛ, ɛdaa mpan mfirinhyia aduɔson sɛdeɛ odiyifoɔ no kaeɛ no.
22 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
Persiahene Kores adedie afe a ɛdi ɛkan mu no, Awurade maa odiyifoɔ Yeremia nkɔmhyɛ baa mu. Ɔkaa Kores akoma ma ɔtwerɛ bɔɔ no dawuro wɔ nʼahennie nyinaa mu sɛ,
23 'Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God [is] with him, and he doth go up.'
“Sɛdeɛ Persiahene Kores ka nie: “‘Awurade, ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn de ahennie a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ama me. Wayi me sɛ mensi asɔredan mma no wɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda asase so. Mo a moyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa, monsane nkɔ Israel nkɔdi saa dwuma yi. Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn nka mo ho.’”
