Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Yehosafat duruu ne fie wɔ Yerusalem asomdwoeɛ mu no,
2 UJehu indodana kaHanani umboni wasephuma ukumhlangabeza, wathi enkosini uJehoshafathi: Unganceda yini omubi, uthande labo abazonda iNkosi? Ngenxa yalokhu-ke kulolaka phezu kwakho oluvela ebusweni beNkosi.
Hanani babarima Yehu, ɔdehunumuni no kɔhyiaa no. Ɔbisaa ɔhene Yehosafat sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woboa amumuyɛfoɔ, na wodɔ wɔn a wɔkyiri Awurade? Deɛ woayɛ yi de Awurade abufuo aba wo so.
3 Loba kunjalo izinto ezinhle zitholwe kuwe, ngoba ususile izixuku elizweni, walungisa inhliziyo yakho ukumdinga uNkulunkulu.
Nanso, ade pa bi wɔ wo mu ɛfiri sɛ woatutu Asera afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ asase no so nyinaa, na woatu wo ho asi hɔ sɛ wobɛhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn.”
4 UJehoshafathi wasehlala eJerusalema; wabuya waphuma wahamba phakathi kwabantu, kusukela eBherishebha kusiya entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wababuyisela eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.

Ɔyiyii atemmufoɔ wɔ nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban wɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa,
6 Wasesithi kubahluleli: Bonani elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleleli umuntu kodwa iNkosi, elani endabeni yokwahlulela.

7 Ngakho-ke uvalo ngeNkosi kalube phezu kwenu, linanzelele likwenze, ngoba eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu kakulabubi lokukhangela ubuso lokwemukela izivalamlomo.
Monsuro Awurade, na mommu atɛntenenee, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, kyiri ntɛnkyea, animhwɛ ne kɛtɛasehyɛ.”
8 Futhi leJerusalema uJehoshafathi wasemisa abanye kumaLevi labapristi lakunhloko zaboyise zakoIsrayeli kusahlulelo seNkosi lakumibango, sebebuyele eJerusalema.
Na Yehosafat yii Lewifoɔ, asɔfoɔ ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Israel no ma wɔsomm sɛ atemmufoɔ wɔ Yerusalem. Na wɔdi Awurade mmara mu nsɛm ne efie ntawantawa nsɛm nso.
9 Wasebalaya esithi: Lizakwenza njalo ekuyesabeni iNkosi, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo.
Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Daa, momfa Awurade nyamesuro, nokorɛdie ne adwene pa nyɛ mo adwuma.
10 Lawuphi umbango oza kini ovela kubafowenu abahlala emizini yabo, phakathi kwegazi legazi, phakathi komthetho lomlayo, izimiso lezahlulelo, lizabaxwayisa ukuze bangabi lecala eNkosini, lolaka lwehlele phezu kwenu laphezu kwabafowenu. Lizakwenza njalo, futhi lingabi lacala.
