2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, hath Jehoahaz son of Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria — seventeen years,
Bere a Yehu babarima Yehoahas fii ase dii hene wɔ Israel no, na ɔhene Yoas nso adi ade mfe aduonu abiɛsa wɔ Yuda. Odii ade mfe dunson wɔ Samaria.
2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin — he turned not aside from it,
Nanso ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii Nebat babarima Yeroboam nhwɛso akyi, toaa ahonisom a odii Israelfo no anim yɛe no so.
3 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.
Enti Awurade bo fuw Israelfo, na ɔmaa ɔhene Hasael a ofi Aram ne ne babarima Ben-Hadad kwan ma wodii wɔn so mfe bebree.
4 And Jehoahaz appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto him, for He hath seen the oppression of Israel, for oppressed them hath the king of Aram, —
Na Yehoahas bɔɔ Awurade mpae, srɛɛ ne mmoa. Awurade tiee ne mpaebɔ. Na Awurade huu nhyɛsotraso a Aramhene de maa Israelfo no.
5 and Jehovah giveth to Israel a saviour, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as heretofore;
Awurade yii ogyefo bi ma obegyee Israelfo no fii Aramfo nhyɛsotraso no ase. Na Israelfo no tenaa ase ahotɔ mu bio, sɛnea na wɔte kan no.
6 only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the shrine hath remained in Samaria, —
Nanso wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne, wodii Yeroboam nhwɛsobɔne no akyi. Na mpo, wosii Asera dua wɔ Samaria.
7 for he left not to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram hath destroyed them, and maketh them as dust for threshing.
Na Yehoahas asraafo no so atew abɛyɛ apɔnkɔsotefo aduonum, nteaseɛnam du ne anammɔnmufo asraafo mpem du. Na Aramhene akunkum nkae no ayɛ wɔn sɛ awiporowbere mfutuma wɔ ne nan ase.
8 And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Yehoahas ahenni mu nneɛma a esisii, dwuma a odii ne nea ne tumidi kɔpem nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
9 And Jehoahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and reign doth Joash his son in his stead.
Bere a Yehoahas wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Yehoas dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah reigned hath Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, in Samaria — sixteen years,
Yehoahas babarima Yehoas fii ase dii Israel so wɔ bere a na ɔhene Yoas adi ade wɔ Yuda ne mfe aduasa ason so. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfe dunsia.
11 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked.
Na ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfi abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israel anim ma wɔyɛɛ no ho.
12 And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Yehoas dwuma a odii no nkae wɔ nʼahenni mu ne ne mmaninyɛ nyinaa ne ne tumi a na ɔwɔ no ne ɔko a ɔne Yudahene Amasia koe no, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
13 And Joash lieth with his fathers, and Jeroboam hath sat on his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.
Bere a Yehoas wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
14 And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and weepeth on his face, and saith, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.'
Bere a owuyare bɔɔ Elisa no, Israelhene Yehoas kɔsraa no, na osuu no se, “Mʼagya! Mʼagya! Israel nteaseɛnam ne nteaseɛnamkafo!”
15 And Elisha saith to him, 'Take bow and arrows:' and he taketh unto him bow and arrows.
Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwehwɛ tadua ne bɛmma.” Na ɔhene no yɛɛ nea ɔkae no.
16 And he saith to the king of Israel, 'Place thy hand on the bow;' and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on the hands of the king,
Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Israelhene no se ɔmfa ne nsa nto tadua no so. Na Elisa de ɔno ankasa ne nsa too ɔhene no nsa so.
17 and saith, 'Open the window eastward;' and he openeth, and Elisha saith, 'Shoot,' and he shooteth; and he saith, 'An arrow of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.'
Afei, ɔhyɛe se, “Bue mfɛnsere a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no.” Na obuei. Na ɔkae se, “Tow!” Na ɔtowee. Na Elisa kae se, “Eyi ne Awurade agyan a ɛyɛ Aram so nkonimdi, efisɛ wubedi Aramfo so pasaa wɔ Afek.
18 And he saith, 'Take the arrows,' and he taketh; and he saith to the king of Israel, 'Smite to the earth;' and he smiteth three times, and stayeth.
Afei, tase bɛmma a aka no na totow wowɔ fam.” Enti ɔhene no tasee, na ɔtotow wowɔɔ fam mprɛnsa.
19 And the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, 'By smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.'
Nanso Onyankopɔn nipa no bo fuw no, kae se, “Anka ɛsɛ sɛ wototow sisi fam mpɛn anum anaa asia. Ɛno ansa a na anka wubedi Aram so, kosi sɛ wobɛtɔre wɔn ase. Enti wubedi nkonim mprɛnsa.”
20 And Elisha dieth, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come in to the land, at the coming in of the year,
Elisa wui, na wosiee no. Na Moabfo afowfo kɔfom asase no so nneɛma afe biara.
21 and it cometh to pass, they are burying a man, and lo, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goeth and cometh against the bones of Elisha, and liveth, and riseth on his feet.
Bere bi a Israelfo resie obi no, wohuu afowfo bi. Ɛno nti, wɔyɛɛ no ntɛm tow amu no kyenee Elisa ɔboda mu. Amu no kɔkaa Elisa nnompe ara pɛ na owufo no nyanee, huruw gyinaa ne nʼanan so!
22 And Hazael king of Aram hath oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,
Na Aramhene Hasael hyɛɛ Israelfo so bere a Ɔhene Yehoahas dii ade no nyinaa.
23 and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.
Nanso Awurade huu Israelfo mmɔbɔ nti, wɔn ase antɔre. Esiane apam a na ɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ayɛ no nti, ohuu wɔn mmɔbɔ. Na ebesi nnɛ, ɔmpɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛtɔre wɔn ase, anaa ɔbɛpam wɔn afi nʼanim.
24 And Hazael king of Aram dieth, and reign doth Ben-Hadad his son in his stead,
Afei, Aramhene Hasael wui, na ne babarima Ben-Hadad bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
25 and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turneth and taketh the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times hath Joash smitten him, and he bringeth back the cities of Israel.
Na Yehoahas babarima Yehoas san kogyee nkurow a Hasael gyigye fii nʼagya Yehoahas nsam no. Yehoas dii Ben-Hadad so nkonim mprɛnsa, nam so gyigyee Israel nkurow no.
