2 Imilando 12
1 Kwasekusithi uRehobhowamu eseqinise umbuso, eseziqinisile, watshiya umlayo weNkosi, loIsrayeli wonke laye.
Rehoboam ahenni timii, na ɔyɛɛ den no, ɔne Israel nyinaa gyaw Awurade mmara.
2 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wenkosi uRehobhowamu, uShishaki inkosi yeGibhithe wenyuka wamelana leJerusalema, ngoba babephambukile eNkosini,
Esiane sɛ na wonni Awurade nokware no nti, afe a ɛto so anum wɔ ɔhene Rehoboam adedi mu no, Misraimhene Sisak kɔtow hyɛɛ Yerusalem so.
3 elezinqola ezingamakhulu alitshumi lambili labagadi bamabhiza abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisithupha; labantu babengelakubalwa abeza laye bephuma eGibhithe, amaLibiya, amaSukhi, lamaEthiyophiya.
Ɔde nteaseɛnam apem ahannu, apɔnkɔsotefo mpem aduosia ne anammɔnmufo asraafo a wontumi nkan wɔn dodow a Libiafo, Sukifo ne Etiopiafo ka ho na wɔbae.
4 Wasethumba imizi ebiyelweyo eyayingeyakoJuda weza eJerusalema.
Sisak dii Yudafo nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban no so nkonim, na otu teɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔtow ahyɛ Yerusalem so nso.
5 UShemaya umprofethi wasefika kuRehobhowamu lezikhulu zakoJuda ezazibuthene eJerusalema ngenxa kaShishaki, wathi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lina lingilahlile, ngakho lami ngililahlele esandleni sikaShishaki.
Odiyifo Semaia hyiaa Rehoboam ne Yuda mpanyimfo a Sisak nti, wɔaguan aba Yerusalem. Semaia ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni! Moagyaw me nti, me nso meregyaw mo ama Sisak.”
6 Iziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli kanye lenkosi basebezithoba bathi: INkosi ilungile.
Ɔhene no ne Israel mpanyimfo brɛɛ wɔn ho ase, kae se, “Awurade di bem sɛ ɔyɛɛ yɛn saa!”
7 INkosi isibona ukuthi bazithobile, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuShemaya lisithi: Bazithobile; kangiyikubabhubhisa, kodwa ngizabanika isilinganiso sokukhululwa, lolaka lwami kaluyikuthululelwa eJerusalema ngesandla sikaShishaki.
Awurade huu sɛ wɔanu wɔn ho no, ɔde saa nkra yi somaa Semaia: “Esiane sɛ nnipa no abrɛ wɔn ho ase nti, merensɛe wɔn korakora na ɛrenkyɛ, mɛma wɔn ahomegye. Meremfa Sisak so nna mʼabufuw adi wɔ Yerusalem so.
8 Kodwa bazakuba zinceku zakhe ukuze bazi inkonzo yami lenkonzo yemibuso yamazwe.
Nanso wɔbɛyɛ nʼasomfo sɛnea ɛbɛkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom me sen sɛ wɔbɛsom wiase ahemfo.”
9 Ngakho uShishaki inkosi yeGibhithe wenyukela eJerusalema, wathatha okuligugu kwendlu kaJehova lokuligugu kwendlu yenkosi, wathatha konke; wathatha lezihlangu zegolide uSolomoni ayezenzile.
Enti Misraimhene Sisak baa Yerusalem bɛsesaw agyapade a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu ne ahemfi hɔ nneɛma a Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo no nyinaa ka ho.
10 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasisenza izihlangu zethusi endaweni yazo, yazinikela ngaphansi kwesandla senduna zabalindi ababegcina umnyango wendlu yenkosi.
Akyiri no, ɔhene Rehoboam de kɔbere akyɛm de sii anan, na ɔde hyɛɛ ahemfi awɛmfo nsa sɛ wɔnhwɛ so.
11 Kwasekusithi lapho inkosi ingena endlini kaJehova bafika abalindi bezithwele, bazibuyisela ekamelweni labalindi.
Bere biara a ɔhene no bɛkɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu no, awɛmfo no soa kɔ hɔ bi, na sɛ owie na ɔreba a, wɔsan de begu awɛmfo dan no mu.
12 Isizithobile, ulaka lweNkosi lwaphenduka lwasuka kuyo ukuze ingayibhubhisi ngokuphelelelyo; futhi lakoJuda kwakulezinto ezinhle.
Esiane sɛ Rehoboam brɛɛ ne ho ase nti, Awurade abufuw no fii ne so, nti wansɛe no korakora. Ɛmaa yiyedi kɔɔ so wɔ Yuda asase so.
13 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasiziqinisa eJerusalema, yabusa. Ngoba uRehobhowamu wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa eJerusalema, umuzi iNkosi eyayiwukhethile phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, ukubeka ibizo layo khona. Lebizo likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.
Ɔhene Rehoboam timii wɔ Yerusalem, na ɔtoaa so dii hene. Bere a odii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduanan baako. Na odii ade mfirihyia dunson wɔ Yerusalem, kuropɔn a Awurade ayi afi Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa mu sɛ ɛhɔ na wɔbɛhyɛ ne din anuonyam no. Na Rehoboam na din de Naama a ofi Amon.
14 Wasesenza okubi ngoba engalungisanga inhliziyo yakhe ukudinga iNkosi.
Na ɔyɛ ɔhene bɔne, efisɛ wamfa ne koma nyinaa anhwehwɛ Awurade akyi kwan.
15 Lendaba zikaRehobhowamu, ezokuqala lezokucina, kazibhalwanga yini ezindabeni zikaShemaya umprofethi lezikaIdo umboni mayelana lemibhalo yosendo, lezimpi zikaRehobhowamu loJerobhowamu zonke izinsuku?
Wɔankyerɛw Rehoboam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae no a efi mfiase kosi awiei no wɔ odiyifo Semaia nhoma ne nhumuni Ido nhoma a ɛyɛ awo ntoatoaso nhoma no fa bi mu ana? Bere biara, na akokoakoko wɔ Rehoboam ne Yeroboam ntam.
16 URehobhowamu waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa emzini kaDavida. UAbhiya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Bere a Rehoboam wui no, wosiee no wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Abia dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
