2 Berɛsosɛm 21
1 Ɛberɛ a Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Yehoram dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
Forsothe Josaphat slepte with hise fadris, and was biried with hem in the citee of Dauid; and Joram, his sone, regnede for hym.
2 Yehoram nuanom mmarima a na wɔyɛ Yehosafat mmammarima foforɔ bi no ne Asaria, Yehiel, Sakaria, Asaria, Mikael ne Sefatia.
And he hadde britheren, the sones of Josaphat, Azarie, Jahiel, and Zacarie, Anany, and Mychael, and Saphatie; alle these weren the sones of Josaphat, kyng of Juda.
3 Wɔn agya maa wɔn mu biara akyɛdeɛ a ɛsom bo, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ, na afei, ɔde Yuda nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no bi kyekyɛɛ wɔn. Na ɛsiane sɛ Yehoram yɛ abakan enti, ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene.
And her fadir yaf to hem many yiftis of gold and of siluer, and rentis, with strongeste citees in Juda; but he yaf the rewme to Joram, for he was the firste gendrid.
4 Na ɛberɛ a Yehoram ahennie timiiɛ no, ɔkunkumm ne nuammarima no nyinaa ne Israelfoɔ ntuanofoɔ bi.
Forsothe Joram roos on the rewme of his fadir; and whanne he hadde confermyd hym silf, he killide alle hise britheren bi swerd, and summe of the princes of Juda.
5 Ɛberɛ a Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu. Na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe.
Joram was of two and thritti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne; and he regnede eiyte yeer in Jerusalem.
6 Na Yehoram yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Israel ahemfo yɛeɛ. Na ɔyɛ otirimuɔdenfoɔ te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, ɛfiri sɛ, na waware Ahab mmammaa no mu baako. Enti Yehoram yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
And he yede in the weies of the kyngis of Israel, as the hows of Achab hadde do, for the douyter of Achab was his wijf; and he dide yuel in the siyt of the Lord.
7 Nanso, na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Dawid ahennie nnidisoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefoɔ bɛkɔ so adi ɔhene afebɔɔ.
But the Lord nolde distrie the hows of Dauid, for the couenaunt which he `hadde maad with Dauid, and for he `hadde bihiyte to yyue to hym a lanterne, and to hise sones in al tyme.
8 Yehoram berɛ so na Edomfoɔ sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wɔsii wɔn ankasa wɔn ɔhene.
In tho daies Edom rebellide, that it was not suget to Juda, and it ordeynede a kyng to it silf.
9 Enti, Yehoram de akodɔm ne ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa kɔto hyɛɛ Edom so. Edomfoɔ twaa ɔno ne ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ho hyiaeɛ, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum mu dwaneeɛ.
And whanne Joram hadde passide with hise princes, and al the multitude of knyytis, that was with hym, he roos bi niyt, and smoot Edom, that cumpasside him, and alle hise duykis of his multitude of knyytis.
10 Edom ade ne ho a ɔnhyɛ Yuda ase de bɛsi ɛnnɛ. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, Libna kuro tee atua, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yehoram atwe ne ho afiri Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn ho.
Netheles Edom rebellide, that it was not vndir the lordschip of Juda `til to this dai. In that tyme also Lobna yede awei, that it was not vndur the hond of hym; for he hadde forsake the Lord God of hise fadris.
11 Na wasisi abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ wɔ Yuda mmepɔ asase so, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda akɔsom abosonsomfoɔ anyame.
Ferthermore he made hiye places in the citees of Juda, and made the dwelleris of Jerusalem to do fornycacioun, `that is, idolatrie, and Juda to breke the lawe.
12 Na odiyifoɔ Elia twerɛɛ saa krataa yi kɔmaa Yehoram: “Asɛm a Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: ‘Woanni wʼagya Yehosafat anaa wo nana Yudahene Asa nhwɛsoɔpa so.
Forsothe lettris weren brouyt to hym fro Elie, the prophete, in whiche it was writun, The Lord God of Dauid,
13 Mmom, woayɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sɛ Israel ahemfo. Woama Yerusalemfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ akɔsom ahoni te sɛ deɛ ɔhene Ahab yɛɛ wɔ Israel no. Na mpo, woakunkum wʼankasa wo nuanom mmarima a na wɔdi mu sene wo.
thi fadir, seith these thingis, For thou `yedist not in the weies of Josaphat, thi fadir, and in the weie of Asa, kyng of Juda, but thou yedist bi the weie of the kyngis of Israel, and madist Juda and the dwelleris of Jerusalem to do fornicacioun, and suedist the fornicacioun of the hows of Achab; ferthermore and thou hast slayn thi britheren and the hows of thi fadir, `that weren betere than thou; lo!
14 Enti afei, Awurade de ɔhaw kɛseɛ bɛba wo, wo nkurɔfoɔ, wo mma, wo yerenom ne biribiara a ɛyɛ wo dea so.
the Lord schal smyte thee with a greet veniaunce, and thi puple, and thi sones, and wyues, and al thi catel;
15 Wʼankasa deɛ, wɔde nsono mu yadeɛ a ɛyɛ ya yie bɛto wo so kɔsi sɛ wʼayamudeɛ bɛtu apue.’”
sotheli thou schalt be sijk `with the worste sorewe of wombe, til thin entrailis go out litil and litil bi ech dai.
16 Na Awurade kaa Filistifoɔ ne Arabfoɔ a na wɔte bɛn Etiopiafoɔ so sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yehoram so.
Therfor the Lord reiside ayens Joram the spirit of Filisteis and Arabeis, that marchen with Ethiopiens; and thei stieden in to the lond of Juda,
17 Wɔbɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yuda so, kɔbubuu ne banbɔdeɛ nyinaa, foo aboɔden nneɛma a ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ a ne mmammarima ne ne yerenom ka ho. Ne babarima kumaa Yehoahas nko na wɔgyaa no.
and wastiden it, and thei token awei al the catel, that was foundun in the hows of the kyng, ferthermore and hise sones, and wyues; and no sone was left to hym, no but Joachaz, that was the leeste in birthe.
18 Yei akyi na Awurade maa nsono mu yadeɛ a ano yɛ den bɔɔ Yehoram.
And ouer alle these thingis the Lord smoot hym with vncurable sorewe of the wombe.
19 Ɛberɛ no mu ara, mfeɛ mmienu akyi, yadeɛ no maa nʼayamdeɛ pueeɛ, na ɔwuu ɔyea mu. Ne nkurɔfoɔ ammɔ ogyatannaa kɛseɛ, amfa anhyɛ no animuonyam wɔ nʼayiyɛ mu sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ maa nʼagyanom no.
And whanne dai cam aftir a dai, and the spaces of tymes weren turned aboute, the cours of twey yeer was fillid; and so he was wastid `bi long rot, so that he castide out also his entrailis, and so he wantide sorewe and liyf togidere, and he was deed in the werste sikenesse. And the puple dide not to hym seruyce of deed men bi the custom of brennyng, as it hadde do to hise grettere, `ether auncetris.
20 Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu, na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe. Ɔwuiɛ no, anyɛ obiara awerɛhoɔ. Wɔsiee no Dawid kurom, nanso ɛnyɛ adehyeɛ asieeɛ.
He was of two and thritti yeer whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede eiyte yeer in Jerusalem, and he yede not riytfuli; and thei birieden hym in the citee of Dauid, netheles not in the sepulcre of kingis.
