2 Imilando 28
1 UAhazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesithupha eJerusalema. Kodwa kenzanga okuqondileyo emehlweni eNkosi, njengoDavida uyise.
Ahas dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia. Wanyɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛnea ne tete agya Dawid yɛe no.
2 Ngoba wahamba ezindleleni zamakhosi akoIsrayeli, wasesenzela oBhali izithombe ezibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa.
Mmom, ɔyɛɛ nea Israel ahemfo yɛe no bi, yɛɛ ahoni a wɔde som Baal.
3 Yena watshisa impepha esihotsheni sendodana kaHinomu, watshisa lamadodana akhe emlilweni, njengokwamanyala ezizwe iNkosi eyazixotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔre wɔ Hinom babarima bon mu, na mpo ɔde ne mmabarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya mu. Osuaa akyiwade a abosonsom aman no yɛe a nti Awurade pam wɔn fii asase no so ansa na Israelfo rekodu hɔ no.
4 Wanikela imihlatshelo watshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo laphezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔre, hyew nnuhuam wɔ abosomfi, mmepɔw so ne dua frɔmfrɔm biara ase.
5 Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe yamnikela esandleni senkosi yeSiriya; asemtshaya, athumba kuye abathunjiweyo abanengi, abasa eDamaseko. Futhi wanikelwa esandleni senkosi yakoIsrayeli eyamtshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu.
Ɛno nti na Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn, maa Aramhene kwan na odii Ahas so nkonim, twaa ne nkurɔfo bebree asu kɔɔ Damasko. Israel asraafo bebree nso dii Ahas so nkonim, kunkum nʼakofo no bebree nso.
6 Ngoba uPheka indodana kaRemaliya wabulala koJuda abazinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili ngasuku lunye, bonke bengamadoda alamandla, ngoba babeyidelile iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Israelhene Peka, a ɔyɛ Remalia babarima de da koro kunkum Yuda asraafo no nnipa mpem ɔha aduonu, efisɛ na wɔapo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn.
7 UZikiri iqhawe lakoEfrayimi wasebulala uMahaseya indodana yenkosi loAzirikamu umphathi wendlu loElkana owesibili enkosini.
Afei, Sikri, ɔkofo kɛse a ofi Efraim, kunkum Maaseia a ɔyɛ ɔhene babarima Asrikam, a ɔyɛ ahemfi so sahene ne Elkana, a ɔyɛ ɔhene sahene abediakyiri no.
8 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethumba kubafowabo abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili, abesifazana, amadodana, lamadodakazi; baphanga lempango enengi kibo, bayiletha impango eSamariya.
Israelfo asraafo kyekyeree mmea ne Yuda mmofra mpem ahannu, faa asade bebree, de kɔɔ Samaria.
9 Kodwa kwakukhona lapho umprofethi weNkosi obizo lakhe lalinguOdedi; wasephuma phambi kwebutho elalisiza eSamariya, wathi kibo: Khangelani, ngenxa yolaka lweNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo phezu kukaJuda, ibanikele esandleni senu; libabulele-ke ngolaka olufinyelele emazulwini.
Na Awurade odiyifo a ne din de Oded wɔ Samaria hɔ bere a Israel asraafo san baa fie no. Okohyiaa wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, bo fuw Yuda, na ɔmaa mudii wɔn so nkonim. Nanso moayɛ ama aboro so dodo sɛ mode atirimɔden akunkum wɔn, ma ahaw ɔsoro nyinaa.
10 Khathesi-ke lina lithi lehlisela ngaphansi kwenu abantwana bakoJuda labeJerusalema babe yizigqili lezigqilikazi. Kodwa lina kakulamacala yini kini amelene leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu?
Na mprempren, moredwene sɛ mobɛfa saa nnipa yi a wofi Yuda ne Yerusalem nkoa. Na mo ankasa mo bɔne a moyɛ tiaa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ho asɛm te dɛn?
11 Ngakho-ke ngilalelani; libuyisele abathunjiweyo elibathumbe kubafowenu, ngoba ukuvutha kolaka lweNkosi kuphezu kwenu.
Muntie me, na munnyaa saa nneduafo a wɔwɔ mo nsam no, efisɛ wɔyɛ mo ankasa mo abusuafo. Monhwɛ no yiye, efisɛ mprempren, wɔadan Awurade abufuwhyew no aba mo so!”
12 Kwasekusukuma amadoda kunhloko zabantwana bakoEfrayimi, oAzariya indodana kaJohanani, uBerekiya indodana kaMeshilemothi, loJehizikiya indodana kaShaluma, loAmasa indodana kaHadilayi, bamelana lalabo ababengena bevela ebuthweni.
Na Israel ntuanofo bi a wɔyɛ Yehohanan babarima Asaria, Mesilemot babarima Berekia, Salum babarima Yehiskia ne Hadlai babarima Amasa penee eyi so, na wɔne mmarima a wofi akono reba no kae se,
13 Basebesithi kibo: Kaliyikungenisa abathunjiweyo lapha kube licala eNkosini limelene lathi; ngoba lina lithi lizakwengeza ezonweni zethu lemacaleni ethu, ngoba isiphambeko sethu sikhulu, lokuvutha kolaka kuphezu kukaIsrayeli.
“Mommfa nneduafo no mma ha! Yɛrentumi mfa nka yɛn bɔne ne yɛn afɔdi ho. Yɛn afɔdi so dedaw, na wɔadan Awurade abufuwhyew no aba Israel so dedaw.”
14 Ngakho abahlomileyo batshiya abathunjiweyo lempango phambi kweziphathamandla lebandla lonke.
Enti akofo no gyaee nneduafo no de asade no mae wɔ ɔmanfo no ne ntuanofo no anim.
15 Lamadoda abizwa ngamabizo asukuma, abamba abathunjiweyo, agqokisa bonke ababenqunu babo ngokuvela empangweni; yebo abagqokisa, abafaka amanyathela, abanika ukudla, abanathisa, abagcoba, athwala bonke ababuthakathaka ngabobabhemi, abasa eJeriko, umuzi wamalala, duze labafowabo; basebebuyela eSamariya.
Afei, nnipa baanan a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din no baa anim, bɛkyekyɛɛ ntade a ɛwɔ asade no mu no maa nneduafo a wɔda adagyaw no. Wɔmaa wɔn ntade ne mpaboa sɛ wɔnhyɛ ne nnuan pii ne nsu, de ngo guguu wɔn apirakuru mu. Wɔde wɔn a wɔayɛ mmerɛw no tenatenaa mfurum so, de nneduafo no nyinaa san baa wɔn asase Yeriko, mmɛkurow, no so. Afei, wɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
16 Ngalesosikhathi inkosi uAhazi yathuma emakhosini eAsiriya ukumncedisa.
Saa bere no mu, Yudahene Ahas kɔsrɛɛ Asiriahene sɛ ɔmmɛboa no na ɔnkɔko ntia nʼatamfo.
17 Ngoba amaEdoma ayesebuye atshaya uJuda, athumba abathunjwa.
Bio, na Edom asraafo adi Yuda so nkonim, akyekyere ebinom nnommum.
18 LamaFilisti ayehlasele imizi yesihotsha leningizimu yakoJuda, athumba iBeti-Shemeshi, leAjaloni, leGederothi, leSoko lemizana yayo, leTimina lemizana yayo, leGimizo lemizana yayo; ahlala khona.
Na Filistifo atow ahyɛ nkurow a ɛwɔ Yuda mmepɔw no ase ne Negeb so. Na wɔako afa Bet-Semes, Ayalon, Gederot ne Soko ne wɔn nkurow ne Timna ne Gimso ne wɔn nkurow no. Na Filistifo no tenatenaa saa nkurow yi so.
19 Ngoba iNkosi yamthobisa uJuda ngenxa kaAhazi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, ngoba wamenza ze uJuda, wasephambuka kakhulu eNkosini.
Na Awurade rebrɛ Yuda ase, esiane Yudahene Ahas nti, efisɛ na ɔboa ne nkurɔfo ma wɔyɛ bɔne, na na onni Awurade nokware korakora nso.
20 Ngakho uTiligathi-Pileseri inkosi yeAsiriya wafika kuye, wamhlupha, kodwa kamqinisanga.
Enti bere a Asiriahene Tilgat-Pilneser bedui no a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔboa ɔhene Ahas no, ɔhaw no mmom.
21 Ngoba uAhazi wathatha isabelo sendlu kaJehova lesendlu yenkosi leseziphathamandla, wasipha inkosi yeAsiriya; kodwa kayimsizanga.
Ahas tasee nneɛma a ɛsom bo fii Awurade asɔredan no mu, ahemfi hɔ ne ne mpanyimfo afi mu, de kɔmaa Asiriahene sɛ ne tow. Nanso eyi mpo, ammoa no.
22 Ngesikhathi sohlupho lwakhe wengeza-ke ekuphambekeni emelene loJehova. Le yinkosi uAhazi.
Na sɛ ɔhaw bi ba ɔhene Ahas so mpo a, ɔkɔ so yɛ asoɔden wɔ Awurade so.
23 Ngoba wahlabela onkulunkulu beDamaseko ababemtshayile, wathi: Ngoba onkulunkulu bamakhosi eSiriya bayawasiza, ngizahlabela bona ukuze bangisize. Kodwa bona baba yimbangela yokuwa kwakhe, kuye lakuIsrayeli wonke.
Ɔbɔɔ afɔre maa Damasko anyame a wodii ne so nkonim no, na ɔkae se, “Saa anyame yi na wɔboaa Aram ahemfo nti, sɛ mebɔ afɔre ma wɔn a, wɔbɛboa me nso.” Nanso wɔmaa no sɛee, maa Israel nyinaa sɛee.
24 UAhazi waseqoqa izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu, waziquma iziqa izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu, wavala iminyango yendlu yeNkosi, wazenzela amalathi kuyo yonke ingonsi eJerusalema.
Ɔhene no tasee nneɛma ahorow a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu nyinaa bubuu mu asinasin. Ɔtotoo Awurade asɔredan no apon mu, sɛnea obiara ntumi nkɔsom wɔ hɔ. Osisii afɔremuka maa abosonsom anyame wɔ Yerusalem twɔtwɔw so baabiara.
25 Lakuwo wonke umuzi ngomuzi wakoJuda wenza indawo eziphakemeyo zokutshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, wayithukuthelisa iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Ɔyɛɛ abosonsom nsɔree so wɔ Yuda nkurow nyinaa so a wɔbɔ afɔre wɔ hɔ ma anyame foforo no. Ɔnam saa ɔkwan yi so, hyɛɛ Awurade, nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn, abufuw.
26 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zakhe lazo zonke indlela zakhe, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoJuda lawakoIsrayeli.
Ahas ahenni ho nsɛm nkae no fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Yuda ahemfo ne Israel ahemfo nhoma mu.
27 UAhazi waselala laboyise, basebemngcwabela emzini, eJerusalema; kodwa kabamlethanga emangcwabeni amakhosi akoIsrayeli. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Ɔhene Ahas wui no, wosiee no Yerusalem, nanso wɔansie no wɔ adehye amusiei. Ne babarima Hesekia na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
