2 Beresosɛm 33
1 Bere a Manase dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia dumien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonum anum.
Manasseh was twelue yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned fiue and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem:
2 Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, suasuaa abosonsomfo aman nneyɛe a ɛyɛ akyiwade a Awurade apam afi asase a ɛda Israel anim no so no.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the heathen, who the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Ɔsan sisii nsɔree a nʼagya Hesekia sɛee no no. Osii afɔremuka maa Baal ahoni, sisii Asera nnua. Ɔsan kotow nsoromma a ɛwɔ wim no nyinaa, som wɔn.
For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had broken downe: and he set vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoste of the heauen, and serued them.
4 Mpo, osisii abosonsom afɔremuka wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, baabi a Awurade aka se, ɛhɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi ne din ni afebɔɔ no.
Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had saide, In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer.
5 Osisii saa afɔremuka no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adiwo abien hɔ, de maa wim nsoromma no.
And he built altars for all the hoste of the heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
6 Manase de ɔno ankasa mmabarima bɔɔ afɔre wɔ ogya so wɔ Hinom Babarima Bon mu. Ɔde ne ho hyɛɛ asumansɛm mu, kɔɔ abisa, yɛɛ abayisɛm, kɔɔ samanfrɛfo ne adunsifo nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ nneɛma pii a ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, maa Awurade bo fuwii.
And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom: he gaue him selfe to witchcraft and to charming and to sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits, and soothsayers: hee did very much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
7 Na Manase faa ohoni a wasen, de kosii Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu. Ɔde kosii beae koro no ara a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo se, “Wobedi me din ni wɔ ha afebɔɔ, asɔredan yi mu ne Yerusalem, kuropɔn a mayi afi mmusuakuw a ɛwɔ Israel no nyinaa mu no.
He put also the carued image, which he had made, in the house of God: whereof God had said to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer,
8 Sɛ Israelfo di mʼahyɛde nyinaa so, me mmara a wɔnam Mose so mae no nyinaa so a, merentwa wɔn asu mfi asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”
Neither will I make the foote of Israel to remooue any more out of the lande which I haue appointed for your fathers, so that they take heede, and do all that I haue commanded them, according to the Lawe and statutes and iudgements by the hande of Moses.
9 Nanso Manase dii ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem anim maa wɔyɛɛ bɔnetraso sen abosonsom aman a Awurade sɛee wɔn, bere a Israelfo kɔɔ asase no so no.
So Manasseh made Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whome the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Manase ne ne nkurɔfo no, nanso wɔantie ne kɔkɔbɔ no mu biara.
And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde.
11 Enti Awurade maa Asiriafo asraafo bɛfaa Manase yɛɛ no odeduani. Wɔde darewa hyɛɛ ne hwene mu, de kɔbere mfrafrae nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree no, de no kɔɔ Babilonia.
Wherefore the Lord brought vpon them the captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur, which tooke Manasseh and put him in fetters, and bound him in chaines, and caryed him to Babel.
12 Na bere a Manase wɔ ahokyere a emu yɛ den mu no, ɔpɛɛ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn akyi kwan, na ɔde ahobrɛase su frɛɛ nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn.
And when he was in tribulation, he prayed to the Lord his God, and humbled him selfe greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 Na bere a ɔbɔɔ mpae no, Awurade tiee no, na ne sufrɛ no kaa ne koma. Enti Awurade maa Manase san kɔɔ Yerusalem wɔ nʼahenni mu. Afei, Manase tee ase sɛ Awurade nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.
And prayed vnto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome: then Manasseh knewe that the Lord was God.
14 Eyi akyi no, Manase san sisii Dawid kuropɔn abɔnten afasu; efi Gihon asuti atɔe fam a ɛwɔ Kidron bon mu, de kɔ Apataa Pon ano, kosi Ofel bepɔw so a wosi ma ɛkɔɔ soro yiye no. Na oduaa nʼasraafo mpanyimfo no wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no nyinaa mu.
Nowe after this he built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon in the valley, euen at the entrie of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it very hie, and put captaines of warre in all the strong cities of Iudah.
15 Manase san tutuu ananafo anyame fii mmepɔw no so. Ɔsan tutuu anyame ne ahoni no fii Awurade Asɔredan mu. Obubuu afɔremuka a wasisi wɔ bepɔw so, faako a Asɔredan no si, ne afɔremuka a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa, na ɔkɔtow guu kuropɔn no mfikyiri.
And he tooke away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie.
16 Na ɔsan sii Awurade afɔremuka no, bɔɔ asomdwoe afɔre ne aseda afɔre wɔ so. Afei, ɔhyɛɛ Yuda manfo no nkuran sɛ, wɔnsom Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no.
Also he prepared the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and of thankes, and commanded Iudah to serue the Lord God of Israel.
17 Nanso na ɔmanfo no da so bɔ afɔre wɔ abosonsom nsɔree so, a na wɔbɔ ma Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn no ara.
Neuerthelesse the people did sacrifice stil in the hie places, but vnto the Lord their God.
18 Manase adedi ho nsɛm nkae, ne mpae a ɔbɔɔ srɛɛ Onyankopɔn ne nsɛm a adehufo ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn din mu no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ahemfo nhoma mu.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and his prayer vnto his God, and the words of the Seers, that spake to him in ye Name of the Lord God of Israel, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel.
19 Manase mpae, ɔkwan a Onyankopɔn faa so buaa no, ne ne bɔne ne atoro a odii nyinaa ho nsɛm, wɔakyerɛw agu adehufo nhoma mu. Faako a osii abosonsom nsɔree so, sisii Asera nnua ne ahoni ansa na ɔrenu ne ho no nso ka ho.
And his prayer and how God was intreated of him, and all his sinne, and his trespasse, and the places wherein he built hie places, and set groues and images (before he was humbled) behold, they are written in the booke of the Seers.
20 Bere a Manase wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼahemfi. Na ne babarima Amon na ɔyɛɛ ɔhene a odi hɔ.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his owne house: and Amon his sonne reigned in his stead.
21 Bere a Amon dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu abien. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe abien.
Amon was two and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned two yeere in Ierusalem.
22 Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya Manase yɛe no. Ɔsom ahoni a nʼagya yɛe no nyinaa, bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn.
But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the images, which Manasseh his father had made, and serued them,
23 Nanso wansɛ nʼagya Manase, efisɛ wammrɛ ne ho ase amma Awurade. Mmom, Amon yɛɛ bɔne maa ɛtraa so.
And he humbled not him selfe before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himselfe: but this Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Akyiri no, Amon no ara mpanyimfo pam ne ti so, kum no wɔ nʼahemfi.
And his seruants conspired against him, and slewe him in his owne house.
25 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kunkum nnipa a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene Amon ho pɔw no, na wɔde ne babarima Yosia dii ade sɛ ɔhene.
But the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon: and the people of the land made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
