2 Imilando 13
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJerobhowamu uAbhiya wasesiba yinkosi phezu kukaJuda.
Bere a Yeroboam dii hene wɔ Israel no, ne mfe dunwɔtwe so, na Abia fii ase dii hene wɔ Yuda.
2 Wabusa iminyaka emithathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMikhaya indodakazi kaUriyeli weGibeya. Kwasekusiba khona impi phakathi kukaAbhiya loJerobhowamu.
Odii hene mfe abiɛsa wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne na din de Maaka a ɔyɛ Uriel a ofi Gibea no babea. Na ɔko baa Abia ne Yeroboam ntam.
3 UAbhiya wasehlela impi elebutho lamaqhawe empi, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane. UJerobhowamu wasehlela impi ukumelana laye elamadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisificaminwembili, amaqhawe alamandla.
Ɔhene Abia de akofo akɛse mpem ahannan dii Yuda anim, kohyiaa Yeroboam a ɔno nso akɔfa mmarima akofo akokodurufo mpem ahanwɔtwe afi Israel.
4 UAbhiya wasesima entabeni iZemarayimi esentabeni yakoEfrayimi wathi: Ngizwa Jerobhowamu, loIsrayeli wonke!
Bere a Yuda asraafo no duu Efraim mmepɔw nsase no so no, Abia gyinaa bepɔw Semaraim so, teɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ Yeroboam ne Israelfo asraafo no se, “Muntie me!
5 Kakusikwenu yini ukwazi ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yanika uDavida umbuso phezu kukaIsrayeli phakade, kuye lakumadodana akhe ngesivumelwano setshwayi?
Munnim sɛ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ne Dawid yɛɛ daa apam de Israel ahengua maa ɔne nʼasefo afebɔɔ ana?
6 Kodwa uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, inceku kaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, wasukuma wavukela inkosi yakhe.
Nanso Nebat babarima Yeroboam a na ɔyɛ Dawid babarima Salomo somfo teta bi no bɛyɛɛ ne wura ɔfatwafo.
7 Kwasekubuthana kuye abantu abayize, abantwana bakaBheliyali, baziqinisa ukumelana loRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, uRehobhowamu esesengumfana njalo ebuthakathaka ngenhliziyo engemelane labo.
Na ɛmaa ahuhufo dɔm kɔboaa no, bu faa Salomo babarima Rehoboam so na esiane sɛ na onnyinii, na onni osuahu biara nti, wantumi annyina ne wɔn anni asi.
8 Khathesi-ke lina lithi lizamelana lombuso weNkosi esandleni samadodana kaDavida; futhi lilixuku elikhulu, kodwa lilamathole egolide uJerobhowamu alenzela wona abe ngonkulunkulu.
“Wugye di yiye sɛ wubetumi agyina, atia Awurade ahenni a Dawid asefo tua ano no? Wʼasraafodɔm no so yiye. Nantwimma a Yeroboam de sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ no ne mo anyame.
9 Kalibaxotshanga yini abapristi beNkosi, amadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi, lazenzela abapristi njengezizwe zelizwe? Loba ngubani ozegcwalisa isandla sakhe ngejongosi, ithole lenkomo, lezinqama eziyisikhombisa uba ngumpristi wabangeyisibo onkulunkulu.
Woapam Awurade asɔfo ne Lewifo no, na woahyɛ wʼankasa asɔfo te sɛ abosomman no pɛ. Nnɛ yi, woma obiara bɛyɛ ɔsɔfo. Obiara a ɔde nantwi ba ne adwennini ason bɛba sɛ wonnyina so nhyɛ no sɔfo no, otumi bɛyɛ ɔsɔfo ma saa mo anyame no.
10 Kodwa thina, iNkosi inguNkulunkulu wethu, kasiyidelanga; labapristi abayikhonzayo iNkosi bangamadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi asemsebenzini.
“Na yɛn de, Awurade ne yɛn Nyankopɔn, na yennyaa no da. Aaron asefo nko ara na wɔsom Awurade sɛ asɔfo, na Lewifo nko ara na wotumi boa wɔn wɔ wɔn dwumadi mu.
11 Njalo bayahlabela iNkosi ikuseni ngekuseni lentambama ngentambama iminikelo yokutshiswa lempepha elephunga elimnandi; lokulungisa izinkwa etafuleni elihlambulukileyo, lokulumathisa uluthi lwesibane lwegolide lezibane zalo kusihlwa ngakusihlwa. Ngoba thina sigcina umlindo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, kodwa lina liyidelile.
Wɔde ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ne ɔhyew aduhuam brɛ Awurade daa anɔpa ne anwummere. Wɔde Daa Daa Brodo no to ɔpon kronkron no so, na daa anwummere, wɔsɔ sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua no. Yɛredi Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, nkyerɛkyerɛ so, nanso moagyaw no.
12 Ngakho khangelani, uNkulunkulu ulathi eyinhloko, labapristi bakhe belempondo zokukhalisa ukuhlaba umkhosi bemelene lani. Bantwana bakoIsrayeli, lingalwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, ngoba kaliyikuphumelela.
Enti ɛsɛ sɛ mote ase sɛ Onyankopɔn ka yɛn ho. Ɔno ne yɛn kannifo. Nʼasɔfo hyɛn wɔn torobɛnto, di yɛn anim, de yɛn kɔ ɔko tia mo. Israelfo, monnko ntia Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn no, na morenni nkonim.”
13 Kodwa uJerobhowamu wayebhodise abacathameli ukuthi beze bengasemva kwabo. Ngakho babephambi kukaJuda, labacathameli bengemva kwabo.
Nanso na Yeroboam ayɛ nwaa ama nʼakofo a wɔwɔ hɔ no bi afa Yuda mmarima akyi akɔtetɛw wɔn.
14 Lapho uJuda ephenduka, khangela-ke, impi yayimelene labo ngaphambili langemuva; basebekhala eNkosini, labapristi bakhalisa izimpondo,
Bere a Yuda huu sɛ wofi wɔn anim ne wɔn akyi atow ahyɛ wɔn so no, wosu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn. Na asɔfo no hyɛn ntorobɛnto,
15 labantu bakoJuda bamemeza; kwasekusithi ekumemezeni kwabantu bakoJuda uNkulunkulu watshaya oJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke phambi kukaAbhiya loJuda.
na Yuda mmarima no fii ase teɛteɛɛ mu. Wɔn ko no mu nteɛteɛmu no mu no, Onyankopɔn kaa Yeroboam ne Israel asraafo no gui, wɔ Abia ne Yuda asraafodɔm anim.
16 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebaleka phambi kobuso bukaJuda, uNkulunkulu wasebanikela esandleni sabo.
Israel asraafo no guan fii Yuda, na Onyankopɔn maa Yuda dii nkonim.
17 UAbhiya labantu bakhe basebebatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu; kwasekusiwa ababuleweyo koIsrayeli, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
Abia ne nʼakofo kunkum Israel asraafo no bebree. Da no, wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ Israel asraafo a wodi mu mu no yɛ mpem ahannum.
18 Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bathotshiswa ngalesosikhathi, labantwana bakoJuda baba lamandla ngoba beyama eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Na Yuda dii Israel so nkonim, efisɛ wɔde wɔn ho too Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn no so.
19 UAbhiya wasexotshana loJerobhowamu, wathumba imizi kuye, iBhetheli lemizana yayo, leJeshana lemizana yayo, leEfroni lemizana yayo.
Abia ne nʼakofo kɔɔ so taa Yeroboam asraafo no, faa wɔn nkurow no bi te sɛ Bet-El, Yesana ne Efron ne ɛho nkurow.
20 UJerobhowamu akabe esaba lamandla ensukwini zikaAbhiya. INkosi yasimtshaya, wafa.
Enti bere a Abia te ase no de, Yeroboam a ɔyɛ Israelhene annya tumi biara, na akyiri no, Awurade bɔɔ no ma owui.
21 Kodwa uAbhiya waziqinisa, wazithathela abafazi abalitshumi lane, wazala amadodana angamatshumi amabili lambili, lamadodakazi alitshumi lesithupha.
Yudahene Abia kɔɔ so nyaa tumi. Ɔwaree yerenom dunan. Ɔwoo mmabarima aduonu abien ne mmea dunsia.
22 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAbhiya, lezindlela zakhe, lamazwi akhe, kubhaliwe ezindabeni zomprofethi uIdo.
Abia ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne ne nsɛm ne dwuma a odii no, wɔakyerɛw agu Odiyifo Ido Nkyeremu Nhoma no mu.
