2 Imilando 23
1 Njalo ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada waziqinisa, wathatha induna zamakhulu ndawonye laye esivumelwaneni, oAzariya indodana kaJerohamu, loIshmayeli indodana kaJehohanani, loAzariya indodana kaObedi, loMahaseya indodana kaAdaya, loElishafati indodana kaZikiri.
Atalia dii ade mfe ason no, ɔsɔfo Yehoiada kyerɛɛ no tumi. Osii ne bo ne asraafodɔm ɔha so asahene baanum, a wɔne Yeroham babarima Asaria, Yehohanan babarima Ismael, Obed babarima Asaria, Adaia babarima Maaseia ne Sikri babarima Elisafat yɛɛ apam.
2 Basebebhodabhoda koJuda, baqoqa amaLevi kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda lenhloko zaboyise bakoIsrayeli, beza eJerusalema.
Saa mmarima yi faa sum ase, kyinii Yuda nyinaa, frɛfrɛɛ Lewifo ne mmusua ntuanofo a wɔwɔ Yuda nkurow so sɛ, wɔmmra Yerusalem.
3 Ibandla lonke laselisenza isivumelwano lenkosi endlini kaNkulunkulu. Wasesithi kubo: Khangelani indodana yenkosi izabusa njengokutsho kweNkosi mayelana lamadodana kaDavida.
Wɔn nyinaa hyiaa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu ne ɔhenberante Yoas yɛɛ apam. Yehoiada ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Bere adu sɛ ɔhene babarima di ade. Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, Dawid aseni na ɔbɛyɛ yɛn hene.
4 Yilolu ulutho elizalwenza; ingxenye yesithathu yenu elingena ngesabatha, kubapristi lakumaLevi, bazakuba ngabalindi bemibundu;
Nea ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ ni. Sɛ asɔfo ne Lewifo ba adwuma Homeda a, wɔn mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako na wɔbɛyɛ apon ano ahwɛfo.
5 lengxenye yesithathu izakuba sendlini yenkosi, lengxenye yesithathu esangweni lesisekelo; labo bonke abantu bazakuba semagumeni endlu kaJehova.
Nkyemu abiɛsa mu baako nso bɛkɔ ahemfi, na nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako a wɔaka no akɔ Fapem Pon no ano. Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔaka no nyinaa tenatena Awurade Asɔredan adiwo ahorow hɔ.
6 Kodwa kakungangeni muntu endlini yeNkosi ngaphandle kwabapristi lalabo abasebenzayo bamaLevi; bona bazangena ngoba bengcwele, kodwa bonke abantu bazagcina umlindo weNkosi.
Monkae sɛ, asɔfo ne Lewifo a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛn Awurade Asɔredan no mu, efisɛ wɔn na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔaka no di Awurade mmara so, na wɔtenatena afikyiri.
7 LamaLevi azaphahla inkosi inhlangothi zonke, ngulowo lalowo elezikhali zakhe esandleni sakhe; lalowo ongenayo endlini uzabulawa. Kodwa yibani lenkosi ekungeneni kwayo lekuphumeni kwayo.
Mo Lewifo na mobɛyɛ ɔhene ho awɛmfo kuw, a mukurakura mo akode. Onipa biara a wɔmmaa no kwan a ɔbɛbɛn mo no, munkum no. Bere biara, mommɛn ɔhene no.”
8 Ngakho amaLevi loJuda wonke benza njengakho konke uJehoyada umpristi ayekulayile. Zasezithatha, yileyo laleyo amadoda ayo angena ngesabatha kanye lalawo aphuma ngesabatha; ngoba uJehoyada umpristi wayengazikhululanga izigaba.
Enti Lewifo no ne nnipa no yɛɛ biribiara a ɔsɔfo Yehoiada hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Asahene no hwɛɛ wɔn a wɔkɔ adwuma saa Homeda no ne wɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ wogye wɔn ahome da no so. Ɔsɔfo Yehoiada amma obiara ankɔ fie.
9 UJehoyada umpristi wasenika izinduna zamakhulu imikhonto lezihlangu ezinkulu lezihlangu ezazingezenkosi uDavida ezazisendlini kaNkulunkulu.
Na Yehoiada de mpeaw ne nkatabo a na ɛyɛ Ɔhene Dawid de, na wɔkoraa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no maa asahene no.
10 Wasemisa bonke abantu, langulowo elesikhali sakhe esandleni sakhe, kusukela kucele langakwesokunene lendlu kusiya kucele langakwesokhohlo lendlu, ngaselathini langasendlini, enkosini inhlangothi zonke.
Ɔde awɛmfo no twaa ɔhene no ho hyiae a wɔayɛ wɔn akode krado. Wogyinagyinaa saa wɔ Asɔredan no anafo fam, twaa hɔ kɔɔ atifi fam, twaa afɔremuka no ho nyinaa hyiae.
11 Basebekhuphela phandle indodana yenkosi, bayithwalisa umqhele, bayipha ubufakazi, bayibeka yaba yinkosi. UJehoyada lamadodana akhe basebeyigcoba bathi: Kayiphile inkosi!
Afei, Yehoiada ne ne mmabarima yii ɔhene babarima Yoas bae, na wɔde ahenkyɛw no hyɛɛ no. Wɔmaa Yoas Onyankopɔn mmara nhoma no bi daa no adi sɛ ɔhene. Wɔsraa no ngo, maa obiara teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
12 UAthaliya esizwa ilizwi labantu begijima bedumisa inkosi, weza ebantwini endlini kaJehova.
Bere a Atalia tee gyegyeegye a ɔmanfo reyɛ, na wɔretutu mmirika, na wɔrekamfo ɔhene no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ, kɔhwɛɛ asɛm ko a asi.
13 Wasebona, khangela-ke, inkosi yayimi ngasensikeni yayo engenelweni, lezinduna, lezimpondo ngasenkosini; labo bonke abantu belizwe bathokoza bavuthela izimpondo, labahlabeleli belezinto zokuhlabelela labafundisa ukudumisa. UAthaliya wasedabula izigqoko zakhe, wathi: Umvukela! Umvukela!
Na ohuu sɛ ɔhene foforo no gyina nʼafa baabi wɔ afadum no ho wɔ Asɔredan no kwan ano a ɛkyerɛ ne tumi. Na mpanyimfo ne torobɛntohyɛnfo atwa ne ho ahyia, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa regye wɔn ani, rehyɛn ntorobɛnto. Nnwontofo a wɔnam nnwontode so bɔɔ nnwom de dii ɔmanfo no anim ahokeka so. Bere a Atalia huu eyi no, ɔde ahometew sunsuan ne ntade mu teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Amammɔsɛm! Amammɔsɛm!”
14 UJehoyada umpristi wasekhupha izinduna zamakhulu ezazibekwe phezu kwebutho, wathi kuzo: Mkhupheni limsuse phakathi kwamaviyo; lomlandelayo uzabulawa ngenkemba. Ngoba umpristi wayethe: Lingambulaleli endlini kaJehova.
Na ɔsɔfo Yehoiada hyɛɛ asafohene a wɔhwɛ asraafo no so no se, “Montwe no mfi Asɔredan mu ha, na obiara a ɔbɛyɛ sɛ ɔregye no no, munkum no. Nanso munnkum no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu ha.”
15 Zasezimbamba ngezandla, wasesiya engenelweni lesango lamabhiza endlini yenkosi, zambulalela khona.
Enti wɔtwee no de no kɔɔ ɔkwan a apɔnkɔ fa so ba ahemfi hɔ no so, kum no wɔ hɔ.
16 UJehoyada wasesenza isivumelwano phakathi kwakhe labantu bonke lenkosi ukuthi babe ngabantu bakaJehova.
Na Yehoiada ne ɔhene no ne ɔmanfo no yɛɛ apam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ Awurade nkurɔfo.
17 Bonke abantu basebesiya endlini kaBhali, bayidiliza, baphahlaza lamalathi akhe lezithombe zakhe, babulala uMathani umpristi kaBhali phambi kwamalathi.
Na nnipa no nyinaa kɔɔ Baal asɔredan no mu, kobubu gui. Wɔsɛee afɔremuka no, dwerɛw ohoni no, kum Baal sɔfo Matan wɔ afɔremuka no anim.
18 UJehoyada wasemisa izikhundla zendlu yeNkosi ngesandla sabapristi, amaLevi, uDavida ayebahlukanisile endlini yeNkosi ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa yeNkosi, njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni kaMozisi, ngenjabulo langokuhlabela, njengokumisa kukaDavida.
Yehoiada nam ahyɛde a Dawid ka too hɔ so, de Lewifo asɔfo sisii Awurade Asɔredan no dwumadi ahorow no ano. Ɔhyɛɛ nso sɛ, wɔmmɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma Awurade, sɛnea Mose mmara kyerɛ no, na wɔnto nnwom nsɛpɛw wɔn ho, sɛnea Dawid ahyɛ no.
19 Wasebeka abalindi bamasango emasangweni endlu yeNkosi ukuze kungangeni muntu ongcolileyo ngolutho loba luphi.
Ɔde apon ano ahwɛfo no sisii Awurade Asɔredan apon ano, sɛnea wɔremma wɔn a wɔn ho ntew no nkɔ mu.
20 Wasethatha izinduna zamakhulu leziphathamandla lababusi phakathi kwabantu labo bonke abantu belizwe, wayehlisa inkosi isuka endlini kaJehova; basebengena endlini yenkosi ngaphakathi kwesango elingaphezulu, bayihlalisa inkosi esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso.
Afei, asahene, atitiriw, ntuanofo ne ɔmanfo nyinaa dii ɔhene no akyi, de no pue fii Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ. Wɔfaa atifi fam pon no ano, wuraa ahemfi hɔ, de ɔhene no kɔtenaa adehye ahengua no so.
21 Labo bonke abantu belizwe bathokoza; lomuzi waba lokuthula sebembulele uAthaliya ngenkemba.
Enti nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa dii ahurusi, na asomdwoe baa ɔman no mu, efisɛ na wɔde afoa akum Atalia.
