2 Beresosɛm 35
1 Yosia dii Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ Yerusalem na wokum Twam guamma no wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan.
UJosiya wasesenzela iNkosi iphasika eJerusalema; basebehlaba iphasika ngolwetshumi lane lwenyanga yokuqala.
2 Yosia maa asɔfo no kɔɔ wɔn nnwuma so, na ɔhyɛɛ wɔn nkuran wɔ wɔn dwumadi mu wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.
Wasemisa abapristi kumfanelo zabo, wabaqinisela inkonzo yendlu yeNkosi.
3 Ɔhyɛɛ Lewifo a wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔnsom Awurade, na wɔyɛ akyerɛkyerɛfo wɔ Israel no se, “Esiane sɛ mprempren Apam Adaka no wɔ Salomo Asɔredan mu, na ɛho nhia sɛ mobɛsoa wɔ mo mmati so de adi akɔneaba nti, momfa mo mmere nsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn ne ne nkurɔfo Israel.
Wasesithi kumaLevi ayefundisa uIsrayeli wonke ayengcwele eNkosini: Fakani umtshokotsho ongcwele endlini uSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli ayakhayo; kakusengumthwalo kini emahlombe. Khathesi khonzani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu labantu bayo uIsrayeli.
4 Monkɔ mo nnwuma so sɛnea mo agyanom mmusua nkyekyɛmu no te, ne sɛnea Israelhene Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo ahyɛde a wɔakyerɛw no kyerɛ.
Njalo lizilungise ngokwendlu yaboyihlo ngezigaba zenu, njengombhalo kaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli lanjengombhalo kaSolomoni indodana yakhe.
5 “Munnyinagyina kronkronbea a wɔayi ama mo no, na mommoa mmusua a wɔde wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no bere a wɔde wɔn afɔre aba Asɔredan mu no.
Lime endaweni engcwele ngokwezigaba zendlu yaboyise babafowenu, abantwana besizwe, lesigaba sendlu kayise wamaLevi.
6 Munkum Twam nguamma no, na munnwira mo ho, na mommoa wɔn a wɔbɛba no. Ahyɛde biara a Awurade nam Mose so de mae no, munni so.”
Lihlabe iphasika, lizingcwelise, lilungisele abafowenu, ukwenza njengokwelizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
7 Na Yosia fii nea ɔwɔ mu, maa nguantenmma ne mmirekyimma mpem aduasa ne anantwinini mpem abiɛsa sɛ nnipa no Twam afɔrebɔde.
UJosiya wasenika abantwana babantu umhlambi wamawundlu lamazinyane embuzi, konke kungokwamaphasika, kwabo bonke abatholakalayo, ngenani eliyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, lenkunzi ezizinkulungwane ezintathu; lokhu kwakuvela empahleni yenkosi.
8 Ɔhene no mpanyimfo nso fi wɔn pɛ mu boaa ɔmanfo, asɔfo ne Lewifo no. Hilkia, Sakaria ne Yehiel a wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho mpanyimfo nso maa asɔfo no nguantenmma ne mmirekyimma mpem abien ne ahansia ne anantwinini ahaasa sɛ Twam afɔrebɔde.
Iziphathamandla zakhe zasezinika abantu, abapristi lamaLevi ngokukhululeka. OHilikhiya loZekhariya loJehiyeli, izinduna zendlu yeNkosi, banikelela amaphasika kubapristi amazinyane azinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu ayisithupha, lenkunzi ezingamakhulu amathathu.
9 Lewifo ntuanofo Kenania ne ne nuanom mmarima Semaia, Netanel, Hasabia, Yeiel ne Yosabad maa Lewifo nguantenmma ne mmirekyimma mpem anum ne anantwinini ahannum sɛ wɔn Twam afɔrebɔde.
OKonaniya loShemaya loNethaneli, abafowabo, loHashabhiya loJeyiyeli loJozabadi, izinduna zamaLevi, basebenikelela amaphasika kumaLevi amazinyane azinkulungwane ezinhlanu, lenkunzi ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
10 Bere a Twam Afahyɛ no ho ahosiesie baa awiei no, asɔfo ne Lewifo no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa sɛnea ɔhene no ahyehyɛ ama akuwakuw no.
Ngokunjalo inkonzo yalungiswa; abapristi basebesima endaweni yabo, lamaLevi ngezigaba zawo, njengokomlayo wenkosi.
11 Lewifo no kunkum Twam nguamma no, na wɔde mogya no maa asɔfo no, na wɔde petee afɔremuka no so bere a na Lewifo no regua mmoa no.
Basebehlaba iphasika, abapristi bafafaza kuvela ezandleni zabo, lamaLevi ahlinza.
12 Wɔkyekyɛɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no maa ɔmanfo no sɛnea wɔn mmusua nkyekyɛmu no te, na wɔatumi de abɔ afɔre ama Awurade, sɛnea mmara a wɔakyerɛw agu Mose nhoma no mu no kyerɛ. Saa ara na wɔyɛɛ anantwinini no nso.
Basebesusa iminikelo yokutshiswa ukuyinika njengokwezigaba zendlu yaboyise kubantwana babantu ukuze banikele eNkosini, njengokubhaliweyo egwalweni lukaMozisi. Ngokunjalo langezinkunzi.
13 Wɔtotoo Twam nguamma no sɛnea wɔakyerɛ no, na wɔnoaa afɔrebɔde kronkron no wɔ nkuku, dadesɛn ne nkankyee mu de baa ntɛm so sɛnea ɔmanfo no betumi awe.
Basebesosa iphasika ngomlilo njengokwesimiso; kodwa izinto ezingcwele bazipheka ngamabhodo langezimbiza langezindengezi, bakusa masinyane kubo bonke abantwana babantu.
14 Akyiri no, Lewifo yɛɛ wɔn ne asɔfo no aduan, efisɛ na asɔfo no ayɛ adwuma fi anɔpa kosi anadwo a wɔrebɔ ɔhyew afɔre no na wɔrehyew srade no. Saa ahosiesie yi nyinaa, Lewifo no na wogye too wɔn ho so yɛe.
Lemva kwalokho basebezilungisela bona labapristi, ngoba abapristi amadodana kaAroni babesekunikeleni iminikelo yokutshiswa lamahwahwa kwaze kwaba sebusuku; ngakho amaLevi azilungisela wona labapristi amadodana kaAroni.
15 Asaf asefo nnwom ho nimdefo no nso, na wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so, sɛnea Dawid, Asaf, Heman ne Yedutun, ɔhene adehuni no kyerɛɛ wɔn no. Aponanohwɛfo no wɛn apon no a na ɛho nhia sɛ wofi wɔn nnwuma so, efisɛ na wɔn mfɛfo Lewifo no de wɔn nnuan kɔma wɔn wɔ hɔ.
Labahlabeleli amadodana kaAsafi babesendaweni yabo njengokomlayo kaDavida, loAsafi, loHemani, loJeduthuni umboni wenkosi; labagcini bamasango babesesangweni lonke; kwakungesikwabo ukusuka enkonzweni yabo, ngoba abafowabo amaLevi abalungisela.
16 Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no baa awiei da no. Wɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre no nyinaa wɔ Awurade afɔremuka no so, sɛnea ɔhene Yosia hyɛe no.
Yasilungiswa yonke inkonzo yeNkosi ngalolosuku ukwenza iphasika lokunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwelathi leNkosi, njengokomlayo wenkosi uJosiya.
17 Israelfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem de nnanson dii Twam ne Apiti Afahyɛ no.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababekhona basebesenza iphasika ngalesosikhathi, lomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo, insuku eziyisikhombisa.
18 Efi odiyifo Samuel bere so no, wonnii Twam sɛɛ da. Israel ahemfo no mu biara mpo anni Twam sɛnea Yosia yɛe a ɔmaa asɔfo, Lewifo, ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne nnipa a wofi Yuda ne Israel nyinaa bɛkaa ho.
Njalo kalenziwanga iphasika elinjengaleli koIsrayeli kusukela ensukwini zikaSamuweli umprofethi; lawo wonke amakhosi akoIsrayeli kawenzanga iphasika elinje uJosiya alenzayo, labapristi lamaLevi, loJuda loIsrayeli wonke ababekhona, labahlali beJerusalema.
19 Wodii saa Twam Afahyɛ yi wɔ Yosia ahenni mfirihyia dunwɔtwe so.
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wokubusa kukaJosiya iphasika leli lenziwa.
20 Yosia siesiee Asɔredan no wiei no, Misraimhene Neko dii nʼakofo anim fii Misraim, sɛ wɔrebɛko wɔ Karkemis wɔ asu Eufrate ano. Na Yosia ne nʼakofo nso sii mu sɛ wɔne no rekɔko.
Emva kwakho konke lokho, uJosiya eseyilungisile indlu, uNeko inkosi yeGibhithe wenyuka ukuyakulwa leKarikemeshi eYufrathi; loJosiya waphuma ukuyamelana laye.
21 Nanso ɔhene Neko tuu abɔfo de nkra yi kɔmaa Yosia: “Dɛn na wo Yudahene hwehwɛ afi me nkyɛn? Me ne wo nni akasakasa nnɛ! Nea mehwehwɛ ne sɛ, me ne ɔman a matu ne so sa no bɛko. Na Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ me se, menyɛ no ntɛm. Ntwintwan Onyankopɔn a ɔka me ho no anan mu, anyɛ saa a ɔbɛsɛe wo.”
Kodwa wathuma izithunywa kuye esithi: Ngilani lawe, nkosi yakoJuda? Kangenyukelanga ukumelana lawe wena lamuhla, kodwa ngimelene lendlu elwa lami. Ngoba uNkulunkulu uthe ngiphangise; yekela wena ukuphikisana loNkulunkulu, olami, ukuze angakubhubhisi.
22 Nanso Yosia antie Neko a Onyankopɔn akasa akyerɛ no ampa ara no, annan nʼani. Mmom, odii nʼakofo anim kɔkoo wɔ Megido tataw so. Ɔworɔw nʼahentade no guu nkyɛn baabi sɛnea atamfo no renhu no.
Kodwa uJosiya kaphendulanga ubuso bakhe kuye, kodwa wazifihla isimo ukuze alwe laye; njalo kawalalelanga amazwi kaNeko avela emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa weza ukulwa esihotsheni seMegido.
23 Nanso atamfo agyantowfo no tow bɛmma ma ɛwɔɔ ɔhene Yosia, piraa no. Ɔteɛɛ mu frɛɛ ne mmarima se, “Momfa me mfi akono ha, efisɛ mapira pira bɔne.”
Abatshoki bemitshoko basebemciba uJosiya; inkosi yasisithi encekwini zayo: Ngisusani ngoba ngizwa ubuhlungu obukhulu.
24 Enti woyii Yosia fii ne teaseɛnam mu, de no too teaseɛnam foforo mu. Na wɔde no kɔɔ Yerusalem, na ɛhɔ na owui. Wosiee no hɔ wɔ adehye amusiei. Na Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa yɛɛ no ayi.
Inceku zakhe zasezimkhupha enqoleni, zamgadisa enqoleni yesibili ayelayo, zamletha eJerusalema. Wasesifa, wangcwatshelwa emangcwabeni aboyise; wonke uJuda leJerusalema basebemlilela uJosiya.
25 Odiyifo Yeremia too kwadwom maa Yosia, na ebesi nnɛ yi, nnwontofo to saa kwadwom a ɛfa ne wu no ho no. Saa kwadwom yi abɛyɛ amanne a wɔakyerɛw ahyɛ Kwadwom Nhoma mu.
LoJeremiya wenza isililo ngoJosiya. Labo bonke abahlabeleli labahlabelelikazi bakhuluma ngoJosiya ezililweni zabo kuze kube lamuhla. Bazenza zaba yisimiso koIsrayeli; khangela-ke, zibhaliwe ezililweni.
26 Yosia ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne nʼahofama sɛnea Awurade mmara te no,
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJosiya, lezisa zakhe njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni weNkosi,
27 fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo Nhoma mu.
izindaba zakhe-ke, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda.
