2 Imilando 28
1 U-Ahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili ubudala nyakana esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha. Kenzanga njengoyise uDavida, kazange enze okulungileyo emehlweni kaThixo.
Ahas dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia. Wanyɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛnea ne tete agya Dawid yɛe no.
2 Wahamba ngezindlela zamakhosi ako-Israyeli njalo wabaza izithombe zokukhonza oBhali.
Mmom, ɔyɛɛ nea Israel ahemfo yɛe no bi, yɛɛ ahoni a wɔde som Baal.
3 Watshisa imihlatshelo eSigodini saseBheni-Hinomu wanikela amadodana akhe emlilweni, elandela izindlela ezenyanyekayo zezizwe uThixo ayezixotshe mandulo kokufika kwabako-Israyeli.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔre wɔ Hinom babarima bon mu, na mpo ɔde ne mmabarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya mu. Osuaa akyiwade a abosonsom aman no yɛe a nti Awurade pam wɔn fii asase no so ansa na Israelfo rekodu hɔ no.
4 Wanikela imihlatshelo njalo watshisa impepha ezindaweni zokukhonzela phezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwazo zonke izihlahla eziyizithingithingi.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔre, hyew nnuhuam wɔ abosomfi, mmepɔw so ne dua frɔmfrɔm biara ase.
5 Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe wamnikela enkosini yama-Aramu. Ama-Aramu amnqoba athumba abantu bakhe abanengi abaletha eDamaseko. Yena njalo wanikelwa ezandleni zenkosi yako-Israyeli, yona eyambulalela abantu abanengi kakhulu.
Ɛno nti na Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn, maa Aramhene kwan na odii Ahas so nkonim, twaa ne nkurɔfo bebree asu kɔɔ Damasko. Israel asraafo bebree nso dii Ahas so nkonim, kunkum nʼakofo no bebree nso.
6 Kwathi ngelanga elilodwa uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya wabulala amabutho azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili koJuda ngoba abakoJuda babemfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Israelhene Peka, a ɔyɛ Remalia babarima de da koro kunkum Yuda asraafo no nnipa mpem ɔha aduonu, efisɛ na wɔapo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn.
7 UZikhiri ibutho lako-Efrayimi, wabulala uMaseya indodana yenkosi, lo-Azirikhamu isikhulu somndlunkulu, kanye lo-Elikhana, owayengumsekeli wenkosi.
Afei, Sikri, ɔkofo kɛse a ofi Efraim, kunkum Maaseia a ɔyɛ ɔhene babarima Asrikam, a ɔyɛ ahemfi so sahene ne Elkana, a ɔyɛ ɔhene sahene abediakyiri no.
8 Abako-Israyeli bathumba ezihlotsheni zabo zakoJuda omkabo, lamadodana lamadodakazi abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili. Babutha njalo impango enengi kakhulu, abayithwala babuyela layo eSamariya.
Israelfo asraafo kyekyeree mmea ne Yuda mmofra mpem ahannu, faa asade bebree, de kɔɔ Samaria.
9 Kodwa umphrofethi wenkosi okwakuthiwa ngu-Odedi wayekhonale, ngakho waphuma ukuyahlangabeza ibutho ekuphendukeni kwalo eSamariya. Wathi kulo, “Ngenxa yokuthi uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo wayethukuthelele abakoJuda, wabanikela ezandleni zenu. Kodwa lina selibabhubhise ngolaka oluze lwayathinta ezulwini.
Na Awurade odiyifo a ne din de Oded wɔ Samaria hɔ bere a Israel asraafo san baa fie no. Okohyiaa wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, bo fuw Yuda, na ɔmaa mudii wɔn so nkonim. Nanso moayɛ ama aboro so dodo sɛ mode atirimɔden akunkum wɔn, ma ahaw ɔsoro nyinaa.
10 Khathesi selifuna ukuthi amadoda labesifazane bakoJuda laseJerusalema babe yizigqili zenu. Kodwa lina ngokwenu kalonanga yini kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu na?
Na mprempren, moredwene sɛ mobɛfa saa nnipa yi a wofi Yuda ne Yerusalem nkoa. Na mo ankasa mo bɔne a moyɛ tiaa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ho asɛm te dɛn?
11 Lalelani kimi! Buyiselani amadoda akini eliwenze izibotshwa, ngoba ulaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo luphezu kwenu.”
Muntie me, na munnyaa saa nneduafo a wɔwɔ mo nsam no, efisɛ wɔyɛ mo ankasa mo abusuafo. Monhwɛ no yiye, efisɛ mprempren, wɔadan Awurade abufuwhyew no aba mo so!”
12 Abanye babakhokheli bako-Efrayimi u-Azariya indodana kaJehohanani, loBherekhiya indodana kaMeshilemothi, loJehizikhiya indodana kaShalumi, kanye lo-Amasa indodana kaHadilayi bamelana lalabo ababevela empini bathi kubo,
Na Israel ntuanofo bi a wɔyɛ Yehohanan babarima Asaria, Mesilemot babarima Berekia, Salum babarima Yehiskia ne Hadlai babarima Amasa penee eyi so, na wɔne mmarima a wofi akono reba no kae se,
13 “Lingalethi lezozibotshwa lapha, ngoba kungenzeka sibe lecala phambi kukaThixo. Selidinga ukuthi lengezelele lelocala phezu kwesono sethu na? Ngoba icala lethu livele likhulu, njalo lentukuthelo yakhe eyesabekayo iphezu kwabako-Israyeli.”
“Mommfa nneduafo no mma ha! Yɛrentumi mfa nka yɛn bɔne ne yɛn afɔdi ho. Yɛn afɔdi so dedaw, na wɔadan Awurade abufuwhyew no aba Israel so dedaw.”
14 Ngakho amabutho akhulula ababebotshiwe asebuyisela lempahla ezaziyimpango phambi kwezikhulu laphambi kwebandla.
Enti akofo no gyaee nneduafo no de asade no mae wɔ ɔmanfo no ne ntuanofo no anim.
15 Amadoda ayeqanjwe ngamabizo abuyisela izibotshwa ezimpahleni zempango bagqokisa ababenqunu. Babanika izigqoko lamanyathelo, ukudla lokunathwayo, kanye lomuthi wokwelapha. Bonke ababuthakathaka babagadisa obabhemi. Ngakho babathatha bababuyisela kwabanye babo eJerikho, iDolobho lamaLala, basebebuyela eSamariya.
Afei, nnipa baanan a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din no baa anim, bɛkyekyɛɛ ntade a ɛwɔ asade no mu no maa nneduafo a wɔda adagyaw no. Wɔmaa wɔn ntade ne mpaboa sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne nnuan pii ne nsu, de ngo guguu wɔn apirakuru mu. Wɔde wɔn a wɔayɛ mmerɛw no tenatenaa mfurum so, de nneduafo no nyinaa san baa wɔn asase Yeriko, mmɛkurow, no so. Afei, wɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
16 Ngalesosikhathi inkosi u-Ahazi yacela uncedo enkosini yase-Asiriya.
Saa bere no mu, Yudahene Ahas kɔsrɛɛ Asiriahene sɛ ɔmmɛboa no na ɔnkɔko ntia nʼatamfo.
17 Ama-Edomi ayesephendukile ezohlasela abakoJuda njalo asuka eqhuba izibotshwa,
Bio, na Edom asraafo adi Yuda so nkonim, akyekyere ebinom nnommum.
18 kanti amaFilistiya lawo ngapha ayesehlasele amadolobho angaphansi kwamaqaqa kanye laseNegebi yakoJuda. Bathumba basebehlala khona eBhethi-Shemeshi, le-Ayijaloni leGederothi, kanye laseSokho, leThimina leGimizo lemizana eyayiseduze lalapho.
Na Filistifo atow ahyɛ nkurow a ɛwɔ Yuda mmepɔw no ase ne Negeb so. Na wɔako afa Bet-Semes, Ayalon, Gederot ne Soko ne wɔn nkurow ne Timna ne Gimso ne wɔn nkurow no. Na Filistifo no tenatenaa saa nkurow yi so.
19 UThixo wabatshaya abakoJuda ngoba u-Ahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli wayekhuthaze ukona kwabakoJuda watshengisela ukungathembeki okukhulu kuThixo.
Na Awurade rebrɛ Yuda ase, esiane Yudahene Ahas nti, efisɛ na ɔboa ne nkurɔfo ma wɔyɛ bɔne, na na onni Awurade nokware korakora nso.
20 UThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya esikhundleni sokumsiza laye wafika wengezelela uhlupho.
Enti bere a Asiriahene Tilgat-Pilneser bedui no a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔboa ɔhene Ahas no, ɔhaw no mmom.
21 U-Ahazi wathatha ezinye zezimpahla zasethempelini likaThixo lezinye azithatha endlini yomndlunkulu esigodlweni waze wathatha lezamakhosana wayaziqhubela inkosi yase-Asiriya, kodwa lakho lokhu akumncedanga.
Ahas tasee nneɛma a ɛsom bo fii Awurade asɔredan no mu, ahemfi hɔ ne ne mpanyimfo afi mu, de kɔmaa Asiriahene sɛ ne tow. Nanso eyi mpo, ammoa no.
22 Kwathi lanxa inkosi u-Ahazi iphakathi kobunzima, yandisa ukona kwayo kuThixo.
Na sɛ ɔhaw bi ba ɔhene Ahas so mpo a, ɔkɔ so yɛ asoɔden wɔ Awurade so.
23 Yanikela imihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu baseDamaseko, ababeyehlule, ngoba yakhumbula yathi, “Njengoba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ama-Aramu bewancedile, ngizanikela imihlatshelo kubo ukuze bangisize lami.” Kodwa-ke kwahle kwaba yikuwa kwayo lokuchitheka kwabako-Israyeli.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔre maa Damasko anyame a wodii ne so nkonim no, na ɔkae se, “Saa anyame yi na wɔboaa Aram ahemfo nti, sɛ mebɔ afɔre ma wɔn a, wɔbɛboa me nso.” Nanso wɔmaa no sɛee, maa Israel nyinaa sɛee.
24 U-Ahazi wabutha zonke izitsha ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wazisusa. Wavala iminyango yethempeli likaThixo wasesakha ama-alithare kuwo wonke amajiko eJerusalema.
Ɔhene no tasee nneɛma ahorow a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu nyinaa bubuu mu asinasin. Ɔtotoo Awurade asɔredan no apon mu, sɛnea obiara ntumi nkɔsom wɔ hɔ. Osisii afɔremuka maa abosonsom anyame wɔ Yerusalem twɔtwɔw so baabiara.
25 Wakha izindawo zokukhonzela kuwo wonke amadolobho akoJuda ukuze atshisele onkulunkulu imihlatshelo; wathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
Ɔyɛɛ abosonsom nsɔree so wɔ Yuda nkurow nyinaa so a wɔbɔ afɔre wɔ hɔ ma anyame foforo no. Ɔnam saa ɔkwan yi so, hyɛɛ Awurade, nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn, abufuw.
26 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso wakhe lezindlela zakhe zonke, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, zilotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda lako-Israyeli.
Ahas ahenni ho nsɛm nkae no fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nhoma mu.
27 U-Ahazi waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa labo emzini waseJerusalema, kodwa kabekwanga emathuneni amakhosi ako-Israyeli. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla waba yinkosi.
Ɔhene Ahas wui no, wosiee no Yerusalem, nanso wɔansie no wɔ adehye amusiei. Ne babarima Hesekia na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
