2 Amakhosi 14
1 Ngomnyaka wesibili kaJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli, u-Amaziya indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
Ɛberɛ a Yoas babarima Amasia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda no, na ɔhene Yehoas adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfeɛ mmienu.
2 Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu eqalisa ukubusa, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lasificamunwemunye. Unina kwakunguJehowadani, owayevela eJerusalema.
Amasia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu enum, na ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfeɛ aduonu nkron. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Yehoadin a ɔfiri Yerusalem.
3 Yena wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo, kodwa kwakungafanani lokukayise uDavida. Kukho konke ayekwenza walandela inyathelo likayise uJowashi.
Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛtene wɔ Awurade ani so, nanso anto deɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ. Ɔhwɛɛ nʼagya Yoas nhwɛsoɔ so.
4 Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela azizange zisuswe; abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo lokutshisa impepha kulezondawo.
Amasia ansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, kɔhye nnuhwam wɔ hɔ no.
5 Kuthe umbuso usuqinile ezandleni zakhe, wabulala izikhulu ezazibulele uyise owayeyinkosi.
Ɛberɛ a Amasia ase timiiɛ sɛ ɔhene no, ɔkunkumm mpanimfoɔ a wɔkumm nʼagya no nyinaa.
6 Kodwa kasabulalanga amadodana alabo ababulala uyise inkosi, njengokulotshiweyo eNcwadini yoMthetho kaMosi lapho uThixo alaya khona wathi: “Abazali abayikufela abantwababo, loba abantwana bafele abazali babo; ngulowo lalowo uzafela isono sakhe.”
Nanso, wɔn a wɔkunkumm wɔn no mma deɛ, wankum wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose Mmara Nwoma no mu no, ne sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ: Mma wɔnkunkum agyanom wɔ wɔn mma bɔne a wɔayɛ nti; na wɔnnkunkum mma wɔ wɔn agyanom bɔne a wɔayɛ enti. Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara wu wɔ ne bɔne ho.
7 Nguye owanqoba ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi, eSigodini seTswayi waze wathumba iSela empini, wayibiza ngokuthi yiJokitheli, okulibizo layo kuze kube lalamuhla.
Amasia na ɔkunkumm Edomfoɔ ɔpedu wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa no mu no. Ɔno ara nso na ɔdii Sela so nkonim, na ɔtoo hɔ edin Yokteel, edin a wɔde frɛ hɔ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no.
8 Ngakho u-Amaziya wathumela izithunywa kuJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi, indodana kaJehu, inkosi yako-Israyeli emqopha esithi, “Woza, uqondane lami ubuso ngobuso.”
Ɛda bi, Amasia ka sii Israelhene a ɔyɛ Yehoahas babarima ne Yehu nana anim sɛ, “Bɛhyia me ma yɛnko.”
9 Kodwa uJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli waphendula u-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda wathi, “Isihlahlana sameva saseLebhanoni sathumela umsedari eLebhanoni ilizwi sathi, ‘Yendisela indodakazi yakho endodaneni yami.’ Kwavela isilo eLabhanoni eseza safika sagxobagxoba isihlahlana sameva ngamasondo aso.
Na Israelhene Yoas de abasɛm buaa Yudahene Amasia sɛ, “Nkasɛɛ a ɛwɔ Lebanon mmepɔ so somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ dutan ntweneduro nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Fa wo babaa ma me babarima awadeɛ.’ Ɛhɔ ara na aboa bi firi wiram bɛtiatiaa nkasɛɛ no so sɛee no.
10 Ngempela uyinqobile i-Edomi ngakho khathesi usuziqhenya. Ziqhenye ekunqobeni kwakho, kodwa uhlale ekhaya! Kungani uzibizela uhlupho uzibangela ukulwa kwakho njalo lokukaJuda na?”
Nokorɛm, woadi Edom so nkonim, ama woayɛ ahantan. Ma wʼani nsɔ wo nkonimdie no, na tena wo fie. Adɛn enti na wopere wo ho kɔ ɔhaw a ɛde amanehunu bɛba wo ne Yudafoɔ nyinaa so yi?”
11 Loba kunjalo, u-Amaziya, kazange alalele, ngakho uJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli wahlasela. Yena waqondana lo-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda bakhangelana ubuso ngobuso eBhethi-Shemeshi koJuda.
Na Amasia antie enti, Israelhene Yoas boaboaa nʼakodɔm ano ne no kɔkoeɛ. Akodɔm mmienu no hyiaa mu koeɛ wɔ Bet-Semes a ɛwɔ Yuda.
12 UJuda wachithwa ngu-Israyeli, kwathi amadoda wonke abalekela emizini yawo.
Israel akodɔm dii Yuda so nkonim, maa Yuda akodɔm no bɔ hweteeɛ, dwane kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
13 UJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli wathumba u-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda, indodana kaJowashi, eyindodana ka-Ahaziya, eBhethi-Shemeshi. Ngakho uJowashi wasesiya eJerusalema wayadiliza umduli weJerusalema kusukela esangweni lika-Efrayimi kusiya eSangweni leJiko, isibanga esingaba yizingalo ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ubude.
Israelhene Yoas kyeree Yudahene, Yoas babarima Ahasia babarima Amasia wɔ Bet-Semes. Na Yoas bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yerusalem. Afei ɔhyɛɛ nʼakodɔm no ma wɔdwirii Yerusalem ɔfasuo no, firi Efraim Ɛpono no de kɔsii Twɛtwɛwaso Ɛpono no, a ne tenten bɛyɛ sɛ anammɔn ahansia no.
14 Wathatha lonke igolide lesiliva lazozonke ezinye impahla ezatholakala zisethempelini likaThixo lasezindlini zenotho esigodlweni waphinda wathumba labantu wahamba labo eSamariya.
Ɔfaa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne nnwinneɛ nyinaa firii Awurade asɔredan mu ne ahemfie akoradan mu hɔ. Ɔfaa nnipa no nnommum, na ɔsane kɔɔ Samaria.
15 Mayelana lezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaJowashi, lakho konke lokuphumelela kwakhe, lempi ayilwa lo-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda, lokhu akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
Yoas ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne deɛ ne tumi kɔsiiɛ ne ako a ɔne Yudahene Amasia diiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
16 UJowashi waphumula laboyise, njalo wembelwa eSamariya lamakhosi ako-Israyeli. UJerobhowamu indodana yakhe wabusa esikhundleni sakhe.
Ɛberɛ a Yoas wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
17 U-Amaziya indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda waphila okweminyaka elitshumi lemihlanu ngemva kokufa kukaJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli.
Israelhene Yoas, Yehoahas babarima owuo akyi no, Yudahene Amasia tenaa ase mfeɛ dunum.
18 Mayelana lezinye izehlakalo zombuso ka-Amaziya azilotshwanga na egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda?
Amasia ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
19 Bamenzela icebo eJerusalema, wasebalekela eLakhishi, kodwa bathumela amadoda amlandela ayambulalela khonale.
Wɔpam Amasia tiri so wɔ Yerusalem enti, ɔdwane kɔɔ Lakis. Nanso, nʼatamfoɔ no somaa awudifoɔ, ma wɔtii no, kɔkumm no wɔ hɔ.
20 Bamthwala ngebhiza bamletha eJerusalema lapha angcwatshwa khona labokhokho bakhe, eMzini kaDavida.
Wɔsane de no too ɔpɔnkɔ so, baa Yerusalem, na wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom.
21 Ngakho abantu bonke koJuda bathatha u-Azariya, owayeleminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa yokuzalwa bamgcoba ubukhosi bukayise u-Amaziya.
Yudafoɔ sii Amasia babarima Asaria a na wadi mfeɛ dunsia no ɔhene.
22 Nguye owakha kutsha i-Elathi walibuyisela koJuda ngemva kokuphumula kukayise labokhokho bakhe.
Nʼagya wuo akyi no, Asaria sane kyekyeree Elat kuro, dane maa Yuda.
23 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu ka-Amaziya indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda, uJerobhowamu indodana kaJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli waba yinkosi eSamariya, njalo wabusa okweminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye.
Yudahene Yoas babarima Amasia adedie mfeɛ dunum mu no, Israelhene Yoas babarima Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu bɛdii ɔhene wɔ Israel. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Samaria mfirinhyia aduanan baako.
24 Wenza ububi phambi kukaThixo njalo kazange atshiye lasinye sezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, lezo abangela u-Israyeli ukuthi azenze.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so. Na wantwe ne ho amfiri abosonsom a Nebat babarima Yeroboam ma Israelfoɔ kɔɔ mu no ho.
25 Nguye owabuyisela imingcele yako-Israyeli kusukela eLebho Hamathi kusiya eLwandle lwase-Arabha, njengelizwi likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, alikhuluma ngenceku yakhe uJona indodana ka-Amithayi, umphrofethi owayevela eGathi-Heferi.
Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu gyegyee Israel nsase a ɛda Lebo Hamat ne Nkyene Ɛpo no ntam no sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn nam Amitai babarima Yona, odiyifoɔ a ɔfiri Gat-Hefer so, hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
26 UThixo wayekubonile ukuthi kwakubuhlungu kanganani kubo bonke abako-Israyeli, izigqili loba ababekhululekile, ukuhlupheka ababekukho; kungekho labani owayengabasiza.
Awurade hunuu sɛdeɛ obiara a ɔwɔ Israel no reteetee, na wɔnni obiara a ɔbɛboa wɔn nso.
27 Kanti njengoba uThixo wayengatshongo ukuthi uzakwesula ibizo lika-Israyeli ngaphansi kwamazulu, wabahlenga ngesandla sikaJerobhowamu indodana kaJowashi.
Esiane sɛ Awurade nkaa sɛ ɔbɛpepa Israel din koraa no enti, ɔnam Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso so gyee wɔn nkwa.
28 Mayelana lezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaJerobhowamu, konke akwenzayo, kanye lokuphumelela kwakhe empini, lokuthi wathumba njani wabuyisela embusweni ka-Israyeli iDamaseko leHamathi, ayengawe Juda, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
Yeroboam a ɔtɔ so mmienu ahennie mu nsɛm nkaeɛ ne dwuma a ɔdiiɛ nyinaa, deɛ ne tumi ano kɔsiiɛ, nʼakodie ne nsase a ɔgyegye maa Israel a Damasko ne Hamat a na ɛwɔ Yuda nsam no nyinaa ka ho no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
29 UJerobhowamu waphumula laboyise, amakhosi ako-Israyeli. UZakhariya indodana yakhe wabusa esikhundleni sakhe.
Ɛberɛ a Yeroboam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ a na wɔyɛ Israel ahemfo no nkyɛn. Na ne babarima Sakaria na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
