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.
Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, as his father David,
2 Edze fia siwo nɔ Israel la ƒe kpɔɖeŋuwo yome eye wòsubɔ Baal ƒe legbawo.
and walks in the ways of the kings of Israel, and has also made molten images for Ba‘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 has made incense himself in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burns his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons 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 sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, 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.
And his God YHWH gives him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they strike him, and take captive a great captivity from him, and bring [them] to Damascus, and he has also been given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he strikes him [with] a great striking.
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 Pekah son of Remaliah slays one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day (the whole [are] sons of valor), because of their forsaking YHWH, 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 one of Ephraim, slays Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second 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 sons of Israel take captive of their brothers: two hundred thousand wives, sons, and daughters; and they have also seized much spoil from them, and they bring in the spoil 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.
And there has been a prophet of YHWH there (Oded [is] his name), and he goes out before the host that has come to Samaria, and says to them, “Behold, in the fury of YHWH, God of your fathers, against Judah, He has given them into your hand, and you slay among them in rage—it has come to 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 you are saying to subdue sons of Judah and Jerusalem for menservants and for maidservants for yourselves; but are there not causes of guilt with you before your God YHWH?
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 send back the captives whom you have taken captive of your brothers, for the heat of the anger of YHWH [is] on 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.
And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
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 say to them, “You do not bring in the captives here, for guilt against YHWH [is already] on us, you are saying to add to our sin and to our guilt. For abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on 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.
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads 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 the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and they have clothed all their naked ones from the spoil, indeed, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on donkeys, even every feeble one, and bring them to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brothers, and 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 King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 Edomtɔwo gava dze Yuda dzi eye woɖe aboyo ameawo
and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
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 have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell 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 YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
20 Ke esi Asiria fia Tilgat Pilneser va ɖo la, eɖe fu na Fia Ahaz le esime wòakpe ɖe eŋu teƒe.
And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
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.
though Ahaz has taken a portion [out] of the house of YHWH, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gives to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
22 Fia Ahaz ŋlɔ Mawu be le eƒe xaxaɣi sia me.
And in the time of his distress—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this King Ahaz),
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 sacrifices to the gods of Damascus [which were] those striking him, and says, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I sacrifice to them, and they help me,” and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to 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 Ahaz gathers the vessels of the house of God, and cuts in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shuts the doors of the house of YHWH, and makes altars for himself in every corner in 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 he has made high places to make incense to other gods, and provokes YHWH, 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 matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll 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 Ahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him to the graves of the kings of Israel, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
