2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned hath Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah;
Bere a Yoas babarima Amasia fii ase dii ade wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi ade wɔ Israel mfe abien.
2 a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
Amasia dii ade no, na wadi mfe aduonu anum, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfe aduonu akron. Na wɔfrɛ ne na se Yehoadin a ofi Yerusalem.
3 and he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like David his father, according to all that Joash his father did he hath done,
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto nea nʼagya Dawid yɛe. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛso so.
4 only, the high places have not turned aside — yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
Nanso, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.
5 And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth 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.
6 and the sons of those smiting [him] he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is put to death.'
Nanso wɔn a wokunkum wɔn no mma de, wankum wɔn, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose Mmara Nhoma no mu no, ne sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ: Wonnkunkum agyanom, wɔn mma bɔne nti; na wonnkunkum mma, agyanom bɔne nti. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara wu wɔ ne bɔne ho.
7 He hath smitten Edom, in the valley of salt — ten thousand, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calleth its name Joktheel unto this day,
Amasia na okunkum Edomfo mpem du wɔ Nkyene Bon no mu no. Ɔno ara nso na odii Sela so nkonim, na ɔtoo hɔ din Yokteel, din a wɔde frɛ hɔ de besi nnɛ no.
8 then hath Amaziah sent messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, 'Come, we look one another in the face.'
Da bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nena anim se, “Behyia me ma yɛnko.”
9 And Jehoash 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.
10 Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and 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?”
11 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash 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 Amasia antie nti, Israelhene Yoas boaboaa nʼakofo ano ne no kɔkoe. Asraafo dɔm abien no hyiaa mu koe wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
12 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee each to his tent.
Israel asraafo dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda asraafo no bɔ hwetee, guan kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
13 And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, caught hath Jehoash king of Israel in Beth-Shemesh, and they come in to Jerusalem, and he bursteth through the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits,
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene, Yoas babarima Ahasia babarima Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes. Na Yoas bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yerusalem. Afei ɔhyɛɛ nʼakofo no ma wodwiriw Yerusalem fasu no, fi Efraim Pon no de kosii Twɔtwɔw so Pon no, a ne tenten bɛyɛ sɛ anammɔn ahansia no.
14 and hath taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back to Samaria.
Ɔfaa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne nnwinne nyinaa fii Awurade asɔredan mu ne ahemfi adekoradan mu hɔ. Ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum, na ɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
15 And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Yoas ahenni mu nsɛm nkae ne nea ne tumi kosii ne ako a ɔne Yudahene Amasia dii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
16 And Jehoash lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Jeroboam his son in his stead.
Bere a Yoas wui no, wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
17 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah liveth after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years,
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima wu akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfe dunum.
18 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Amasia ahenni mu nsɛm nkae no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
19 And 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,
Wɔpam Amasia ti so wɔ Yerusalem nti, oguan kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfo no somaa awudifo, ma wotiw no, kokum no wɔ hɔ.
20 and lift him up on the horses, and he is buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.
Wɔsan de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom.
21 And all the people of Judah take Azariah, and he [is] a son of sixteen years, and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah;
Yudafo sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfe dunsia no hene.
22 he hath built Elath, and bringeth it back to Judah, after the lying of the king with his fathers.
Nʼagya wu akyi no, Asaria san kyekyeree Elat kurow, dan maa Yuda.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, reigned hath Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel in Samaria — forty and one years,
Yudahene Yoas babarima Amasia adedi mfe dunum mu no, Israelhene Yoas babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien bedii hene wɔ Israel. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfirihyia aduanan baako.
24 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.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Na wantwe ne ho amfi abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam maa Israelfo kɔɔ mu no ho.
25 He hath brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the desert, according to the word of Jehovah, God of Israel, that He spake by the hand of His servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who [is] of Gath-Hepher,
Yeroboam a ɔto so abien gyigyee Israel nsase a ɛda Lebo Hamat ne Nkyene Po no ntam no sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn nam Amitai babarima Yona, odiyifo a ofi Gat-Hefer so, hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
26 for Jehovah hath seen the affliction of Israel — very bitter, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper to Israel;
Awurade huu sɛnea obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wonni obiara a ɔbɛboa wɔn nso.
27 and Jehovah hath not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saveth them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.
Esiane sɛ Awurade nkaa se ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no nti, ɔnam Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso so gyee wɔn nkwa.
28 And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought, and with which he brought back Damascus, and Hamath of Judah, into Israel, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Yeroboam a ɔto so abien ahenni mu nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa, nea ne tumi ano kosii, nʼakodi ne nsase a ogyigye maa Israel a Damasko ne Hamat a na ɛwɔ Yuda nsam no nyinaa ka ho no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
29 And Jeroboam lieth with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Zechariah his son in his stead.
Bere a Yeroboam wui no, wosiee no ne mpanyimfo a na wɔyɛ Israel ahemfo no nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Sakaria na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
