2 Beresosɛm 17
1 Na Asa babarima Yehosafat bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene. Ɔhyɛɛ Yuda den, sɛnea obetumi agyina Israel ɔfow biara ano.
UJehoshafathi indodana ka-Asa waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe; wazilungisela ukumelana lo-Israyeli empini.
2 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.
Wabeka amabutho emizini ebiyelweyo yakoJuda wafaka amaviyo koJuda kanye lasemizini yako-Efrayimi eyayithunjwe nguyise u-Asa.
3 Na Awurade ka Yehosafat ho, efisɛ ɔyɛɛ sɛnea nʼagya Asa yɛe wɔ ne mfe a edi kan no mu, na wansom Baal ahoni no.
UThixo wayelaye uJehoshafathi ngoba ngeminyaka yakuqala wayehamba ngezindlela ezalandelwa nguyise uDavida. Kabadinganga oBhali,
4 Ɔhwehwɛɛ nʼagya Nyankopɔn, na odii nʼahyɛde so a wanni Israel ahenni mu nneyɛe no akyi.
kodwa wadinga uNkulunkulu kayise njalo walalela imilayo yakhe kazange alingisele okwakusenziwa ngabako-Israyeli.
5 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.
UThixo wawuqinisa umbuso wakhe, bonke abakoJuda baletha izipho kuJehoshafathi, ngakho wanotha kakhulu njalo wahlonitshwa kakhulu.
6 Ofi ne koma nyinaa mu nantew Awurade akwan so. Obubuu abosonsomfo nsɔree so, na ɔsɛee Asera nnua no.
Inhliziyo yakhe yayi kuThixo ngokuzinikela okukhulu ezindleleni zakhe; njalo wasusa zonke izindawo zokukhonzela wadiliza lezinsika zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera koJuda.
7 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.
Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe wathuma izikhulu zakhe oBheni-Hali, lo-Obhadaya, loZakhariya, loNethaneli kanye loMikhaya ukuba ziyefundisa emizini yakoJuda.
8 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.
Ndawonye lazo kwakulabanye abaLevi uShemaya loNethaniya, loZebhadiya, lo-Asaheli, loShemiramothi, loJehonathani, lo-Adonija, loThobhija kanye loThobhi-Adonija lo-Elishama loJehoramu abaphristi.
9 Wɔfaa Awurade mmara a wɔatintim nhoma no de kyinii Yuda nkurow nyinaa so, kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no.
Bafundisa kulolonke elakoJuda, bethwele uGwalo lwemiThetho kaThixo; babhoda yonke imizi yakoJuda befundisa abantu.
10 Na afei, ɛmaa Awurade ho suro tɔɔ ahenni a atwa ahyia no nyinaa so, nti obiara amfa ɔko ankɔ Yehosafat so.
Ukumesaba uThixo kwagcwala kuyo yonke imibuso yamazwe akhelane loJuda, ngakho abasayanga empini loJehoshafathi.
11 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.
Amanye amaFilistiya alethela uJehoshafathi izipho lesiliva njengomthelo, lama-Arabhu aletha imihlambi yezimvu: izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu ayisikhombisa enqama, lembuzi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu ayisikhombisa.
12 Ɛmaa Yehosafat tumi mu yɛɛ den, na ɛkɔɔ so yɛɛ den ara ma osisii aban ne nnuan adekoradan wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn nyinaa so.
UJehoshafathi waba lamandla amakhulu angezelelweyo, wakha izinqaba lamadolobho eziphala koJuda
13 Ɔkoraa nneɛma bebree wɔ Yuda nkurow mu, na ɔmaa asraafo a wɔyɛ den tenaa Yerusalem.
njalo wayelokudla okunengi emizini yakoJuda. Wayelamabutho akwaziyo ukulwa ayehlala eJerusalema.
14 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.
Wona ayemi kanje ngezimuli: KwabakoJuda, abalawuli bamaviyo enkulungwane babeyilaba: u-Adina umlawuli wayelamaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu;
15 Onipa a na odi ne so ne Yehohanan a na odi asraafodɔm mpem ahannu aduɔwɔtwe so.
kulandele uJehohanani umlawuli, elamabutho azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili;
16 Nea odi hɔ ne Sikri babarima Amasia, a ɔde ne ho bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade adwuma a na odi asraafodɔm mpem ahannu so sahene.
kulandele u-Amasiya indodana kaZikhiri, owazinikela ukusebenzela uThixo elamaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili.
17 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.
KwabakoBhenjamini: kwakungu-Eliyada, indoda eliqhawe, elamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili ayehlome ngamadandili lezihlangu;
18 Nea odi hɔ ne Yehosabad a otua asraafo mpem ɔha aduɔwɔtwe a wɔada wɔn ho so ama akodi no ano.
kulandele uJehozabhadi elamadoda azinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ayehlomele ukulwa impi.
19 Eyinom ne asraafodɔm a wɔtenaa Yerusalem som ɔhene, ne wɔn a Yehosafat de wɔn duaduaa nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban wɔ Yudaman mu no.
Yiwo la amadoda ayesebenzela inkosi, ngaphandle kwalawo ayesemzini ebiyelweyo kulolonke elakoJuda.
