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.
A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not done that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, as David his father,
2 Edze fia siwo nɔ Israel la ƒe kpɔɖeŋuwo yome eye wòsubɔ Baal ƒe legbawo.
and walketh in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also, molten images hath made for Baalim,
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 himself hath made perfume in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burneth his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah 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 sacrificeth and maketh perfume 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 Jehovah his God giveth him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they smite him, and take captive from him a great captivity, and bring [them] in to Damascus, and also into the hand of the king of Israel he hath been given, and he smiteth him — a great smiting.
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 slayeth in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day (the whole [are] sons of valour), because of their forsaking Jehovah, 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, slayeth 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 brethren, two hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, and also much spoil they have seized 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 hath been there a prophet of Jehovah (Oded [is] his name), and he goeth out before the host that hath come in to Samaria, and saith to them, 'Lo, in the fury of Jehovah God of your fathers against Judah, He hath given them into your hand, and ye slay among them in rage — unto the heavens it hath come;
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, sons of Judah and Jerusalem ye are saying to subdue for men-servants and for maid-servants to you; but are there not with you causes of guilt before Jehovah 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 send back the captives whom ye have taken captive of your brethren, for the heat of the anger of Jehovah [is] upon 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, 'Ye do not bring in the captives hither, for, to guilt against Jehovah on us, ye are saying to add unto our sin and unto 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 all their naked ones they have clothed from the spoil, yea, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on asses, even every feeble one, and bring them in to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brethren, and turn back 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 hath king Ahaz sent unto 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 smite 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 Jehovah hath humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against Jehovah.
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 cometh in unto him, and doth distress him, and hath 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 hath taken a portion [out] of the house of Jehovah, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and giveth 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 addeth to trespass against Jehovah, (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 sacrificeth to the gods of Damascus — those smiting him, and saith, 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, to them I sacrifice, 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 gathereth the vessels of the house of God, and cutteth in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shutteth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and maketh to himself altars 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 every city and city of Judah he hath made high places to make perfume to other gods, and provoketh Jehovah, 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, lo, they are written on 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 Ahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him in to the graves of the kings of Israel, and reign doth Hezekiah his son in his stead.
