2 Imilando 17
1 UJehoshafathi indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe; waziqinisa ukumelana loIsrayeli.
Na Asa babarima Yehosafat bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene. Ɔhyɛɛ Yuda den, sɛnea obetumi agyina Israel ɔfow biara ano.
2 Wasebeka amabutho kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakoJuda; wabeka lamabutho enqaba elizweni lakoJuda, lemizini yakoEfrayimi uyise uAsa ayeyithumbile.
Oduaduaa asraafodɔm wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no nyinaa mu. Ɔde asraafodɔm kumaa bi kɔɔ Yuda asase so ne Efraim nkurow a nʼagya Asa ako agye no so.
3 INkosi yasisiba loJehoshafathi, ngoba wahamba ngendlela zakuqala zikaDavida uyise, kabadinganga oBhali;
Na Awurade ka Yehosafat ho, efisɛ ɔyɛɛ sɛnea nʼagya Asa yɛe wɔ ne mfe a edi kan no mu, na wansom Baal ahoni no.
4 kodwa wadinga kuNkulunkulu kayise, wahamba ngemilayo yakhe, njalo kungenjengokwenza kukaIsrayeli.
Ɔhwehwɛɛ nʼagya Nyankopɔn, na odii nʼahyɛde so a wanni Israel ahenni mu nneyɛe no akyi.
5 Ngakho iNkosi yawuqinisa umbuso esandleni sakhe, loJuda wonke waletha izipho kuJehoshafathi; wasesiba lenotho lodumo ngobunengi.
Enti Awurade maa Yehosafat Yudaman so ahenni no timii. Nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa brɛɛ Yehosafat akyɛde, ma ɔyɛɛ ɔdefo, na wɔde nidi maa no.
6 Inhliziyo yakhe yasiphakama ezindleleni zeNkosi; futhi-ke wasusa indawo eziphakemeyo lezixuku koJuda.
Ofi ne koma nyinaa mu nantew Awurade akwan so. Obubuu abosonsomfo nsɔree so, na ɔsɛee Asera nnua no.
7 Langomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe wathuma kuziphathamandla zakhe, kuBeni-Hayili lakuObhadiya lakuZekhariya lakuNethaneli lakuMikhaya, ukufundisa emizini yakoJuda.
Yehosafat ahenni mfe abiɛsa so no, ɔsomaa ne mpanyimfo ma wɔkɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ Yuda nkurow nyinaa so. Ne mpanyimfo no ne Ben-Hail, Obadia, Sakaria, Netanel ne Mikaia.
8 Kanye lazo-ke amaLevi, oShemaya loNethaniya loZebhadiya loAsaheli loShemiramothi loJehonathani loAdonija loTobija loTobi-Adonija, amaLevi; kanye labo-ke oElishama loJehoramu, abapristi.
Ɔsomaa Lewifo a wɔn din didi so yi kaa wɔn ho: Semaia, Netania, Sebadia, Asahel, Semiramot, Yehonatan, Adoniya, Tobia ne Tob-Adoniya. Ɔsomaa asɔfo Elisama ne Yehoram nso.
9 Basebefundisa koJuda, belogwalo lomlayo weNkosi; babhoda kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda, bafundisa abantu.
Wɔfaa Awurade mmara a wɔatintim nhoma no de kyinii Yuda nkurow nyinaa so, kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no.
10 Kwasekusiba lokuyesaba iNkosi phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe ayehanqe uJuda, okokuthi kayilwanga loJehoshafathi.
Na afei, ɛmaa Awurade ho suro tɔɔ ahenni a atwa ahyia no nyinaa so, nti obiara amfa ɔko ankɔ Yehosafat so.
11 Labanye bamaFilisti bamlethela uJehoshafathi izipho, lesiliva lokuthela; amaArabhiya lawo amlethela imihlambi, inqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu ayisikhombisa, lezimpongo eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu ayisikhombisa.
Filistifo no bi brɛɛ no akyɛde ne dwetɛ sɛ sonkahiri, na Arabfo brɛɛ no adwennini mpem ason ne ahanson ne mpapo mpem ason ne ahanson.
12 UJehoshafathi wayelokhu ekhula njalo, waze waba sengqongeni. Wasesakha koJuda izinqaba lemizi yeziphala.
Ɛmaa Yehosafat tumi mu yɛɛ den, na ɛkɔɔ so yɛɛ den ara ma osisii aban ne nnuan adekoradan wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn nyinaa so.
13 Wayelomsebenzi omnengi emizini yakoJuda, lamadoda empi, amaqhawe alamandla, eJerusalema.
Ɔkoraa nneɛma bebree wɔ Yuda nkurow mu, na ɔmaa asraafo a wɔyɛ den tenaa Yerusalem.
14 Lala ngamanani awo ngezindlu zaboyise: KoJuda, induna zezinkulungwane, uAdina engumphathi, njalo kanye laye amaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu;
Wogyinaa agyanom mmusuakuw so gyee asraafo. Yuda abusua mu, na asraafodɔm no dodow yɛ mpem ahaasa a wɔakyekyɛ wɔn mu akuwakuw apem. Adna na na ɔyɛ wɔn so sahene.
15 leceleni kwakhe uJohanani umphathi, njalo kanye laye izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili;
Onipa a na odi ne so ne Yehohanan a na odi asraafodɔm mpem ahannu aduɔwɔtwe so.
16 leceleni kwakhe uAmasiya indodana kaZikiri, owazinikela ngesihle eNkosini, njalo kanye laye amaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili.
Nea odi hɔ ne Sikri babarima Amasia, a ɔde ne ho bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade adwuma a na odi asraafodɔm mpem ahannu so sahene.
17 LakoBhenjamini: UEliyada iqhawe elilamandla, njalo kanye laye izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili, ezihlome ngedandili langesihlangu;
Benyamin abusua asraafodɔm no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem ahannu a wɔwɔ agyan ne nkatabo. Na wɔn sahene ne Eliada, ɔsraani a wadi ako akyɛ.
18 leceleni kwakhe uJehozabadi, njalo kanye laye izinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, abahlomele impi.
Nea odi hɔ ne Yehosabad a otua asraafo mpem ɔha aduɔwɔtwe a wɔada wɔn ho so ama akodi no ano.
19 Laba babesebenzela inkosi ngaphandle kwalabo inkosi eyayibabeke emizini ebiyelweyo kuye wonke uJuda.
Eyinom ne asraafodɔm a wɔtenaa Yerusalem som ɔhene, ne wɔn a Yehosafat de wɔn duaduaa nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban wɔ Yudaman mu no.
