1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lantathu wokubusa kukaJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya inkosi yakoJuda, uJehowahazi indodana kaJehu waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya njalo wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa.
Bere a Yehu babarima Yehoahas fii ase dii hene wɔ Israel no, na ɔhene Yoas nso adi ade mfe aduonu abiɛsa wɔ Yuda. Odii ade mfe dunson wɔ Samaria.
2 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo ngokulandela izono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, owayebangele u-Israyeli ukuthi azenze, njalo kazange axekelane lazo.
Nanso ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii Nebat babarima Yeroboam nhwɛso akyi, toaa ahonisom a odii Israelfo no anim yɛe no so.
3 Ngakho ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ku-Israyeli, okwaze kwathi okwesikhathi eside wabayekela bengaphansi kombuso kaHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu loBheni-Hadadi indodana yakhe.
Enti Awurade bo fuw Israelfo, na ɔmaa ɔhene Hasael a ofi Aram ne ne babarima Ben-Hadad kwan ma wodii wɔn so mfe bebree.
4 UJehowahazi wacela ukuthethelelwa kuThixo. UThixo wamuzwa, ngoba wabona ukuba abako-Israyeli bancindezelwe kanganani yinkosi yase-Aramu.
Na Yehoahas bɔɔ Awurade mpae, srɛɛ ne mmoa. Awurade tiee ne mpaebɔ. Na Awurade huu nhyɛsotraso a Aramhene de maa Israelfo no.
5 UThixo wabapha umkhululi abako-Israyeli owabakhulula esandleni sama-Aramu. Ngalokho abako-Israyeli bahlala emizini yabo njengakuqala.
Awurade yii ogyefo bi ma obegyee Israelfo no fii Aramfo nhyɛsotraso no ase. Na Israelfo no tenaa ase ahotɔ mu bio, sɛnea na wɔte kan no.
6 Kodwa abatshiyananga lezono zabendlu kaJerobhowamu, lezo ayebangele abako-Israyeli ukuthi bazenze; baqhubeka ngazo, njalo lezinsika zika-Ashera zahlala zilokhu zikhona eSamariya.
Nanso wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne, wodii Yeroboam nhwɛsobɔne no akyi. Na mpo, wosii Asera dua wɔ Samaria.
7 Akusalanga lutho lwamabutho kaJehowahazi ngaphandle kwabagadi bamabhiza abangamatshumi amahlanu, lezinqola zempi ezilitshumi kanye lezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zamabutho ahamba ngezinyawo, ngoba inkosi yase-Aramu yayibhubhise bonke abanye yabenza baba njengothuli ngesikhathi sokubhula.
Na Yehoahas asraafo no so atew abɛyɛ apɔnkɔsotefo aduonum, nteaseɛnam du ne anammɔnmufo asraafo mpem du. Na Aramhene akunkum nkae no ayɛ wɔn sɛ awiporowbere mfutuma wɔ ne nan ase.
8 Mayelana lezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaJehowahazi, lakho konke akwenzayo lokuphumelela kwakhe, akulotshwanga encwadini yembali yamakhosi abako-Israyeli na?
Yehoahas ahenni mu nneɛma a esisii, dwuma a odii ne nea ne tumidi kɔpem nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
9 UJehowahazi waphumula laboyisemkhulu njalo wangcwatshwa eSamariya. Indodana yakhe uJowashi yabusa esikhundleni sakhe.
Bere a Yehoahas wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Yehoas dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
10 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda, uJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, yena-ke wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha.
Yehoahas babarima Yehoas fii ase dii Israel so wɔ bere a na ɔhene Yoas adi ade wɔ Yuda ne mfe aduasa ason so. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfe dunsia.
11 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo njalo kazange axekelane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele u-Israyeli ukuthi azenze, waqhubeka ngazo.
Na ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wantwe ne ho amfi abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israel anim ma wɔyɛɛ no ho.
12 Mayelana lezinye izehlakalo zombuso Jowashi lakho konke akwenzayo lokuphumelela kwakhe lezimpi azilwa lo-Amaziya inkosi yamaJuda akulotshwanga encwadini yembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
Yehoas dwuma a odii no nkae wɔ nʼahenni mu ne ne mmaninyɛ nyinaa ne ne tumi a na ɔwɔ no ne ɔko a ɔne Yudahene Amasia koe no, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
13 UJowashi waphumula laboyisemkhulu, ubukhosi bakhe bathathwa nguJerobhowamu. UJowashi wangcwatshwa eSamariya ndawonye lamakhosi abako-Israyeli.
Bere a Yehoas wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔto so abien dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
14 U-Elisha wayegula umkhuhlane owacina usumbulala. UJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli wahamba ukuyambona wafika wakhala wathi, “Baba! Baba! Izinqola zokulwa labagadi bamabhiza ako-Israyeli!”
Bere a owuyare bɔɔ Elisa no, Israelhene Yehoas kɔsraa no, na osuu no se, “Mʼagya! Mʼagya! Israel nteaseɛnam ne nteaseɛnamkafo!”
15 U-Elisha wathi, “Thatha idandili lemitshoko.” Wakwenza lokho.
Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwehwɛ tadua ne bɛmma.” Na ɔhene no yɛɛ nea ɔkae no.
16 Wathi enkosini yako-Israyeli, “Phatha idandili lelo ngezandla.” Yathi isiliphethe, u-Elisha wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zenkosi.
Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Israelhene no se ɔmfa ne nsa nto tadua no so. Na Elisa de ɔno ankasa ne nsa too ɔhene no nsa so.
17 U-Elisha wasesithi, “Vula iwindi elisempumalanga.” Yalivula, u-Elisha wathi, “Tshoka!” Yatshoka. U-Elisha wasememeza eqonqosela wathi, “Umtshoko wokunqoba kaThixo, umtshoko wokunqoba ele-Aramu! Uzabhubhisa ama-Aramu e-Afekhi.”
Afei, ɔhyɛe se, “Bue mfɛnsere a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no.” Na obuei. Na ɔkae se, “Tow!” Na ɔtowee. Na Elisa kae se, “Eyi ne Awurade agyan a ɛyɛ Aram so nkonimdi, efisɛ wubedi Aramfo so pasaa wɔ Afek.
18 Wasesithi enkosini, “Thatha imitshoko yakho,” inkosi yayithatha. U-Elisha wasesithi kuyo, “Tshaya iphansi leli,” inkosi yatshaya iphansi kwaze kwaba kathathu yasisima.
Afei, tase bɛmma a aka no na totow wowɔ fam.” Enti ɔhene no tasee, na ɔtotow wowɔɔ fam mprɛnsa.
19 Umuntu kaNkulunkulu kwamzondisa lokho wasesithi kuyo inkosi, “Bekufanele ukuthi utshaye iphansi kahlanu loba kasithupha; ngalokho kade uzabe unqobe ele-Aramu njalo walibhubhisa. Kodwa khathesi usuzalinqoba kathathu kuphela.”
Nanso Onyankopɔn nipa no bo fuw no, kae se, “Anka ɛsɛ sɛ wototow sisi fam mpɛn anum anaa asia. Ɛno ansa a na anka wubedi Aram so, kosi sɛ wobɛtɔre wɔn ase. Enti wubedi nkonim mprɛnsa.”
20 U-Elisha wafa wangcwatshwa. Abahlaseli bamaMowabi babejayele ukungena elizweni entwasa.
Elisa wui, na wosiee no. Na Moabfo afowfo kɔfom asase no so nneɛma afe biara.
21 Kwathi kwesinye isikhathi abako-Israyeli bengcwaba indoda ethile, babona nampa abahlaseli; basebelahlela isidumbu leso ethuneni lika-Elisha. Kuthe isidumbu leso sithinta amathambo ka-Elisha, indoda leyo yavuka yasukuma yama ngezinyawo zayo.
Bere bi a Israelfo resie obi no, wohuu afowfo bi. Ɛno nti, wɔyɛɛ no ntɛm tow amu no kyenee Elisa ɔboda mu. Amu no kɔkaa Elisa nnompe ara pɛ na owufo no nyanee, huruw gyinaa ne nʼanan so!
22 UHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu wancindezela abako-Israyeli ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaJehowahazi.
Na Aramhene Hasael hyɛɛ Israelfo so bere a Ɔhene Yehoahas dii ade no nyinaa.
23 Kodwa uThixo waba lomusa kubo waba lozwelo watshengisela ukubakhathalela ngenxa yesivumelwano sakhe lo-Abhrahama, u-Isaka loJakhobe. Kuze kube lamuhla kathandi ukubabhubhisa loba ukubalahla basuke phambi kwakhe.
Nanso Awurade huu Israelfo mmɔbɔ nti, wɔn ase antɔre. Esiane apam a na ɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ayɛ no nti, ohuu wɔn mmɔbɔ. Na ebesi nnɛ, ɔmpɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛtɔre wɔn ase, anaa ɔbɛpam wɔn afi nʼanim.
24 UHazayeli inkosi yama-Aramu wafa, uBheni-Hadadi indodana yakhe wabusa esikhundleni sakhe.
Afei, Aramhene Hasael wui, na ne babarima Ben-Hadad bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
25 Ngakho uJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi wabuya wathumba njalo amadolobho embusweni kaBheni-Hadadi indodana kaHazayeli ayethunjwe empini kayise uJehowahazi. UJowashi wamnqoba kathathu, ngakho wawabuyisa amadolobho abako-Israyeli.
Na Yehoahas babarima Yehoas san kogyee nkurow a Hasael gyigye fii nʼagya Yehoahas nsam no. Yehoas dii Ben-Hadad so nkonim mprɛnsa, nam so gyigyee Israel nkurow no.
