Kronika 2 28
1 Ahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem, ke mewɔ nu si dzɔ le Yehowa ŋkume abe tɔgbuia David ene o.
Twenty years old was Achaz when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem; and he did not what is right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father;
2 Edze fia siwo nɔ Israel la ƒe kpɔɖeŋuwo yome eye wòsubɔ Baal ƒe legbawo.
But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Be'alim.
3 Edea Ben Hinom ƒe Balime gɔ̃ hã, menye be yeado dzudzɔ na legbawo ko o, ke boŋ etsɔ eya ŋutɔ viawo sa vɔe le dzo me abe ale si trɔ̃subɔla siwo Yehowa nya le anyigba la dzi be Israel nakpɔ teƒe la wɔna ene.
And he also burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his sons in the fire, after the abominable acts of the nations that the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
4 Esa vɔ eye wòdoa dzudzɔ hã le nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi kple le vɔsamlekpui geɖe siwo le atiwo te la dzi.
And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Nu sia ta Yehowa Mawu tsɔe de asi na Aram fia eye wosii heɖe aboyo eƒe ame geɖewo yi Damasko. Wotsɔe de asi na Israel fia hã, ame si sii vevie ŋutɔ.
Wherefore the Lord his God gave him up into the hand of the king of Syria; and they defeated his people, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And also into the hand of the king of Israel was he given up, and he defeated his people with a great slaughter.
6 Le ŋkeke ɖeka pɛ aɖe dzi la, Peka, Remalia ƒe vi, wu Yudatɔwo ƒe aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve sɔŋ elabena wotrɔ le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, yome.
And Pekach the son of Remalyahu slew in Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all being valiant men; because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers.
7 Emegbe la, Zikri, aʋawɔla sesẽ aɖe, tso Efraim, wu fiavi, Maaseya kple fia la ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Azrikam kple Elkana, ame si nye ŋusẽtɔ evelia kplɔ fia la ɖo.
And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Ma'asseyahu the king's son, and 'Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second in rank to the king.
8 Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔwo ɖe aboyo Yudatɔwo ƒe nyɔnu kple ɖevi akpe alafa eve eye woha afunyinu geɖewo tsɔ yi Samaria.
And the children of Israel led away captive from their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and also much booty did they plunder from them, and they brought the booty to Samaria.
9 Ke Obed, Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖe nɔ afi ma le Samaria. Èɖado go aʋakɔ si trɔ gbɔna aƒe eye wòdo ɣli be, “Kpɔ ɖa! Yehowa, mia fofowo ƒe Mawu, do dɔmedzoe ɖe Yuda ŋu eye wòna miesi eƒe amewo eye miewu wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe. Nu sia medze dziƒo blibo la ŋu o.
But there was a prophet of the Lord, 'Oded was his name; and he went out to meet the host that was coming to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because of the fury of the Lord the God of your fathers against Judah, hath he given them up into your hand, and ye have slain among them in a rage that reacheth as far as the heavens.
10 Azɔ la, ɖe miele nana ge Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo siaa nazu kluviwoa? Mieɖo ŋku miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogbo siwo miewɔ ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu ŋuti dzi oa?
And now ye think to force the children of Judah and Jerusalem to become bond-men and bond-women unto you; but surely are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against the Lord your God?
11 Miɖo tom eye miagbugbɔ miaƒe ƒometɔwo ayi wo dewoe kpoo elabena azɔ la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe le bibim sesĩe ɖe mia ŋu.”
And now hear me, and restore the captives, whom ye have taken captive from your brethren; for the fierce wrath of the Lord is over you.
12 Efraim ƒe kplɔlawo ƒe amegã aɖewo hã ƒo nu tsi tsitre ɖe nuwɔna sia ŋu. Ame siawoe nye Azaria, Yehohanan ƒe vi kple Berekia, Mesilemɔt ƒe vi kple Yehizkiya, Salum ƒe vi kple Amasa, Hadlai ƒe vi.
Then arose certain men of the heads of the children of Ephraim, 'Azaryahu the son of Jehochanan, Berechyahu the son of Meshillemoth, and Jechizkiyahu the son of Shallum, and 'Amassa the son of Chadlai, against those that were come from the army.
13 Wogblɔ be, “Miekpɔ mɔ akplɔ aboyomeawo va afi sia o. Ne miekplɔ wo vɛ la, Yehowa ado dɔmedzoe eye nu vɔ̃ sia akpe ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃ bubu geɖeawo ŋu. Dɔmedzoe si Mawu do ɖe mía ŋu la, sɔ gbɔ xoxo.”
And they said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; for in addition to the guiltiness against the Lord [resting] on us, ye think to add unto our sins and unto our guiltiness; for great is the guiltiness [resting] on us, and there is fierce wrath over Israel.
14 Ale asrafomegãwo tsɔ aboyomeawo kple afunyinuawo de asi na dukɔa kplɔlawo be woabu ta me tso nu si woawɔ kple wo la ŋu.
So the armed men abandoned the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly.
15 Ame ene siwo woyɔ va yi la, ma awuwo tso afunyinuawo me na nyɔnu kple ɖevi siwo hiã awuwo eye wotsɔ afɔkpawo, nuɖuɖu kple wain na wo. Wotsɔ dɔnɔwo kple ame tsitsiwo ɖe tedziwo dzi, gbugbɔ wo yi na woƒe ƒometɔwo le Yeriko, Detiwo Ƒe Du me eye ame siwo kplɔ wo yi la trɔ va Samaria.
And then arose the men who have been expressed by name, and took hold of the captives, and all that were naked among them they clothed from the booty; and they gave them garments and shoes, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm-trees, near their brethren; and then did they return to Samaria.
16 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, fia Ahaz dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Asiria fiawo be woava xɔ na ye.
At that time sent king Achaz unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Edomtɔwo gava dze Yuda dzi eye woɖe aboyo ameawo
Moreover the Edomites came again and defeated [the men of] Judah, and carried away captives.
18 le esime Filistitɔwo va ha du siwo nɔ togbeawo dzi kple esiwo nɔ Negev le Yuda. Woxɔ du siawo: Bet Semes, Aiyalon kple Gederot Timna, Soko kple Gimzo kpakple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã wo eye wonɔ wo me.
And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowlands, and of the south of Judah, and captured Beth-shemesh, and Ayalon, and Gederoth, and Socho with its villages, and Thimnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they dwelt there.
19 Esia va eme elabena Yehowa bɔbɔ Yuda ɖe anyi le Yuda fia, Ahaz ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ ta elabena egblẽ Yudatɔwo ƒe gbɔgbɔmegbenɔnɔ me eye menɔ Yehowa yome o.
For the Lord humbled Judah on account of Achaz the king of Israel; for he made Judah unruly, and acted very faithlessly against the Lord.
20 Ke esi Asiria fia Tilgat Pilneser va ɖo la, eɖe fu na Fia Ahaz le esime wòakpe ɖe eŋu teƒe.
Then came against him Tilgath-pilneesser the king of Assyria, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
21 Ale, Ahaz tsɔ nu siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me ƒe akpa aɖewo kpakple dɔnunɔlawo tɔ hetsɔ na Asiria fia la gake egbe kpekpe ɖe eŋu.
Although Achaz took away a portion [out] of the house of the Lord, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: he yet gave him no assistance.
22 Fia Ahaz ŋlɔ Mawu be le eƒe xaxaɣi sia me.
And in the time that he distressed him, became he yet more faithless against the Lord, —yea, he, king Achaz;
23 Esa vɔ na Damaskotɔ siwo ɖu edzi le aʋa me la ƒe mawuwo elabena ebu be, mawu siawoe kpe ɖe Siria fia ŋu eya ta woakpe ɖe ye hã ŋu ne yesa vɔ na wo. Ke mawu mawo boŋue he dzɔgbevɔ̃e va eya ŋutɔ kple Israel katã dzi.
And he sacrificed unto the gods of [the people of] Damascus, who had smitten him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria do help them, [therefore] will I sacrifice unto them, that they may help me. But they only became to him a stumbling-block for him and for all Israel.
24 Fia la tsɔ sikatreawo tso gbedoxɔ la me eye wògbã wo kakɛkakɛ. Etu gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtruwo ale be ame aɖeke magasubɔ Mawu le afi ma o eye wòɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe Yerusalem ƒe dzogoe ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
And Achaz gathered up the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and locked up the doors of the house of the Lord, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 Gawu la, ewɔ nu ma ke le Yuda ƒe du ɖe sia ɖe me eye wòto esia me do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu.
And in each and every city of Judah made he high-places to burn incense unto other gods; and he provoked to anger the Lord the God of his fathers.
26 Woŋlɔ nu tso Fia Ahazia ƒe agbenɔnɔ kple nuwɔwɔ bubuawo tso gɔmedzedzea va se nuwuwu ŋu ɖe Yuda fiawo kple Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
And the rest of his acts and of all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Esi Fia Ahaz ku la, woɖii ɖe Yerusalem du la me, ke menye ɖe fiawo ƒe ɖiƒe o, eye via Hezekia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son became king in his stead.
