1 Bere a Yosia dii hene wɔ Yuda no, na wadi mfirihyia awotwe, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfe aduasa baako. Na ne na din de Yedida a ɔyɛ Adaia a ofi Boskat no babea.
UJosiya wayeleminyaka eyisificaminwembili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguJedida indodakazi kaAdaya weBhozikhathi.
2 Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani, yɛɛ nea ne tete agya Dawid yɛe no bi. Wamfi adetreneeyɛ ho.
Wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi, wahamba ngayo yonke indlela kaDavida uyise, kaze aphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo.
3 Ɔhene Yosia dii mfirihyia dunwɔtwe wɔ nʼahenni mu no, ɔsomaa Asalia babarima Safan, asennii kyerɛwfo Mesulam nena, kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se,
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJosiya, inkosi yathuma uShafani indodana kaAzaliya indodana kaMeshulamu, umabhalane, endlini yeNkosi, esithi:
4 “Kɔ ɔsɔfopanyin Hilkia nkyɛn, na ma ɔnkan sika a aponanohwɛfo no agyigye afi nnipa no nkyɛn wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu no.
Yenyukela kuHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu ukuthi ahlanganise imali elethwe endlini yeNkosi, abalindi bombundu womnyango ababeyiqoqe ebantwini.
5 Fa saa sika yi hyɛ nnipa a wɔayi wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ asɔredan no ho asiesie no nsa. Na wɔde atua adwumayɛfo a wobesiesie Awurade Asɔredan no ho ka.
Kabayinikele esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi abamiswe phezu kwendlu yeNkosi, kabayinike abenzi bomsebenzi osendlini yeNkosi, ukulungisa izikhala zendlu,
6 Ɛho behia sɛ wɔbɛfa nnua adwumfo, adansifo ne abohyehyɛfo. Afei, ma wɔntɔ nnua ne abo a wɔatwa a wɔde besiesie asɔredan no.
kubabazi, lakubakhi, lakubabazi bamatshe, lokuthenga amapulanka lamatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa indlu.
7 Nanso ɛho nhia sɛ adansi no sohwɛfo bebu sika a wɔn nsa bɛka no ho akontaa, efisɛ wɔyɛ nokwafo.”
Kodwa akubalelwananga labo imali eyayinikelwe esandleni sabo ngoba benza ngokuthembeka.
8 Ɔsɔfopanyin Hilkia ka kyerɛɛ asennii kyerɛwfo Safan se, “Mahu Mmara Nhoma no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ.” Na Hilkia de nhoma mmobɔwee no maa Safan, na ɔkenkanee.
UHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu wasesithi kuShafani umabhalane: Sengifice ugwalo lomlayo endlini yeNkosi. UHilikhiya wasenika uShafani ugwalo, waselufunda.
9 Safan san kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Wo mpanyimfo no de sika a wogyigyee wɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu no ahyɛ adwumayɛfo no ne sohwɛfo a wɔwɔ asɔredan no ho no nsa.”
UShafani umabhalane wasefika enkosini, wabuyisela ilizwi enkosini wathi: Izinceku zakho seziyithulule imali eficwe endlini, zayinikela esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi abamiswe phezu kwendlu yeNkosi.
10 Safan san ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ɔsɔfo Hilkia de nhoma mmobɔwee bi ama me.” Na Safan kenkan kyerɛɛ ɔhene no.
UShafani umabhalane wasebika enkosini esithi: UHilikhiya umpristi unginike ugwalo. UShafani waselufunda phambi kwenkosi.
11 Bere a ɔhene no tee nsɛm a ɛwɔ Awurade Mmara Nhoma no mu no, ɔde ahometew sunsuan ne ntade mu.
Kwasekusithi inkosi isizwile amazwi ogwalo lomlayo, yadabula izigqoko zayo.
12 Na ɔhyɛɛ ɔsɔfo Hilkia, Safan babarima Ahikam ne Mikaia babarima Akbor ne asennii kyerɛwfo Safan ne ɔhene fotufo Asaia se,
Inkosi yasilaya uHilikhiya umpristi loAhikhamu indodana kaShafani loAkhibhori indodana kaMikhaya loShafani umabhalane loAsaya inceku yenkosi, isithi:
13 “Monkɔ asɔredan no mu, na monkɔkasa nkyerɛ Awurade mma me, mma nnipa no ne Yuda nyinaa. Mummisa no nsɛm a wɔakyerɛw agu nhoma mmobɔwee no a wahu no ho asɛm. Awurade abufuwhyew aba yɛn so, efisɛ yɛn agyanom anni nhoma yi mu nsɛm so. Ɛnyɛ nea nhoma yi ka sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.”
Hambani liyengibuzela eNkosini mina labantu loJuda wonke mayelana lamazwi alolugwalo oluficiweyo; ngoba yinkulu intukuthelo yeNkosi esesiyibaselwe, ngoba obaba kabawalalelanga amazwi alolugwalo, ukwenza konke okubhaliweyo mayelana lathi.
14 Enti ɔsɔfo Hilkia, Ahikam, Akbor, Safan ne Asaia kɔɔ Yerusalem Fa Foforo Misne kohuu odiyifo Hulda. Na ɔyɛ Tikwa babarima Salum yere, a na ɔyɛ Harhas a ɔhwɛ ntade adaka a ɛwɔ asɔredan mu so no nso nena.
Ngakho uHilikhiya umpristi loAhikhamu loAkhibhori loShafani loAsaya baya kuHulida umprofethikazi umkaShaluma indodana kaTikiva indodana kaHarihasi, umgcini wezigqoko. Wayehlala-ke eJerusalema esiGabeni seSibili. Basebekhuluma laye.
15 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn akasa. Monkɔka nkyerɛ onipa a ɔsomaa mo no se,
Wasesithi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mtsheleni lowomuntu olithume kimi:
16 ‘Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Mɛsɛe kuropɔn yi ne mu nnipa, sɛnea makyerɛw wɔ nhoma mmobɔwee a mokenkan no mu no.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizakwehlisela okubi kulindawo laphezu kwabakhileyo bayo, wonke amazwi ogwalo inkosi yakoJuda elufundileyo.
17 Efisɛ me nkurɔfo agyaw me, na wɔsom anyame huhuw, na biribiara a wɔayɛ no, ahyɛ me abufuw. Mʼabufuwhyew redɛw wɔ ha, na ɛrennum.’
Ngenxa yokuthi bangidelile, batshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, ukuze bangithukuthelise ngawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo. Ngakho intukuthelo yami izavutha imelene lale indawo, ingacitshwa.
18 Na monkɔ Yudahene a ɔsomaa mo sɛ monkɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nkyɛn, na monka nkyerɛ no se, Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka fa asɛm a motee mprempren no ho.
Kodwa enkosini yakoJuda elithumileyo ukubuza eNkosini, lizakutsho njalo kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mayelana lamazwi eliwezwileyo:
19 Wotee asɛm a meka de tiaa kuropɔn no ne emu nnipa no sɛ, wɔbɛdome saa asase yi na ada mpan no, ɛyɛɛ wo yaw, ma wobrɛɛ wo ho ase Awurade anim. Wode ahometew sunsuan wo ntade mu, suu wɔ mʼanim ahonu mu. Enti nokware, Awurade se, ‘mate wo sufrɛ.
Ngoba inhliziyo yakho ibithambile, wazithoba phambi kweNkosi, lapho usizwa engikukhulume ngimelene lalindawo labakhileyo bayo, ukuthi bazakuba yincithakalo lesiqalekiso, wadabula izigqoko zakho, wakhala inyembezi phambi kwami, lami-ke ngizwile, kutsho iNkosi.
20 Amanehunu a mehyɛɛ ho bɔ de tiaa kuropɔn yi no bɛba wo wu ne wusie akyi. Worenhu amane a mede bɛba kuropɔn yi so no.’” Enti wɔsan de ne nkra no kɔmaa ɔhene no.
Ngakho, khangela, ngizakubuthela kuboyihlo, njalo uzabuthelwa engcwabeni lakho ngokuthula, lamehlo akho kawayikubona bonke ububi engizabehlisela phezu kwalindawo. Basebebuyisela ilizwi enkosini.
