2 Beresosɛm 22
1 Afei, ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no sii Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia ɔhene a odi hɔ. Na Arabfo afowfo akuw akunkum mmabarima mpanyimfo no nyinaa. Ɛno nti, Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia na odii hene wɔ Yuda.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda reigned.
2 Bere a Ahasia dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu abien, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem afe. Na ne na a ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nena no din de Atalia.
Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri.
3 Ahasia nso yɛɛ ɔhene Ahab abusua bɔne a wɔyɛe no bi, efisɛ ne na hyɛɛ no nkuran wɔ bɔneyɛ mu.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother pushed him on to do wickedly.
4 Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so sɛnea Ahab yɛe no. Nʼagya wu akyi no, Ahab abusuafo na wɔbɛyɛɛ nʼafotufo. Wɔn na wɔde no kɔɔ ɔsɛe mu.
So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Esiane wɔn afotu bɔne nti, Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ ɔhene Yoram a ɔyɛ Israelhene Ahab babarima ho. Wotuu Aramhene Hasael so sa wɔ Ramot-Gilead. Ɔko no mu no, Aramfo no piraa Yoram.
And he walked after their counsels. And he went with Joram the son of Achab king of Israel, to fight against Hazael king of Syria, at Ramoth Galaad: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Yoram san kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsaa nʼapirakuru no, na Yudahene Ahasia kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsraa no.
And he returned to be healed in Jezrahel: for he received many wounds in the foresaid battle. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel where he lay sick.
7 Na eyi dan mfomso kɛse, efisɛ na Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛtwe Ahasia aso. Saa nsrahwɛ yi mu na Ahasia ne Yoram kohyiaa Nimsi babarima Yehu, a na Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ ontwa Ahab fi adedi ntoatoaso no so.
For it was the will of God against Ochozias that he should come to Joram: and when he was come should go out also against Jehu the son of Namsi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Achab.
8 Bere a Yehu rebu atɛn atia Ahab fi no, ohyiaa Yuda mpanyimfo ne Ahasia abusuafo bi a na wɔresom Ahasia. Enti Yehu kunkum wɔn nyinaa.
So when Jehu was rooting out the house of Achab, he found the princes of Juda, and the sons of the brethren of Ochozias, who served him, and he slew them.
9 Afei, Yehu mmarima hwehwɛɛ Ahasia, na wokohuu no sɛ wakɔtɛw Samaria kuropɔn no mu. Wɔde no brɛɛ Yehu ma okum no. Wosiee Ahasia ma ɛyɛɛ fɛ, efisɛ nnipa dii ne ho adanse se, “Ɔyɛ Yehosafat a ɔde ne koma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ Awurade no nena.” Na Ahasia abusua mu nnipa a wɔkaa akyi no mu biara amfata sɛ ɔbɛtoa ahenni no so.
And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias.
10 Bere a Yudahene Ahasia ne na Atalia tee sɛ ne babarima no awu no, ɔkekaa ne ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda adehye abusua no.
For Athalia his mother, seeing that her son was dead, rose up, and killed all the royal family of the house of Joram.
11 Nanso Ahasia nuabea Yehoseba, a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Yehoram babea, faa Ahasia babarima akokoaa Yoas fii ɔhene no mma a wɔaka a wɔrebekum wɔn no mu. Ɔde Yoas ne onipa a ɔhwɛ no no kosiee pia bi mu. Eyi ne ɔkwan a ɔsɔfo Yehoiada yere Yehoseba faa so de abofra no siei, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na Atalia rennya no nkum no.
But Josabeth the king’s daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him.
12 Yoas hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu hɔ mfe asia, bere a na Atalia di ɔman no so no.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, during which Athalia reigned over the land.
