2 Berɛsosɛm 22
1 Afei, ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no sii Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia ɔhene a ɔdi hɔ. Na Arabfoɔ afomfafoɔ akuo akunkum mmammarima mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa. Ɛno enti, Yehoram babarima kumaa Ahasia na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yuda.
And the inhabitants of Ierusalem made Ahaziah his yongest sonne King in his steade: for the armie that came with the Arabians to the campe, had slayne all the eldest: therefore Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah reigned.
2 Ahasia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu mmienu, na ɔdii ɔhene afe wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame a ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nana no din de Atalia.
Two and fourtie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yeere in Ierusalem. and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 Ahasia nso yɛɛ ɔhene Ahab abusua bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ no bi, ɛfiri sɛ, ne maame hyɛɛ no nkuran wɔ bɔneyɛ mu.
He walked also in the wayes of the house of Ahab: for his mother counselled him to doe wickedly.
4 Ɔyɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so sɛdeɛ Ahab yɛeɛ no. Nʼagya wuo akyi no, Ahab abusuafoɔ na wɔbɛyɛɛ nʼafotufoɔ. Wɔn na wɔde no kɔɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu.
Wherefore he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Esiane wɔn afotubɔne enti, Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ ɔhene Yoram a ɔyɛ Israelhene Ahab babarima ho. Wɔtuu Aramhene Hasael so sa wɔ Ramot-Gilead. Ɔko no mu, Aramfoɔ no piraa Yoram.
And he walked after their counsel, and went with Iehoram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Aramites smote Ioram.
6 Yoram sane kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsaa nʼapirakuro no, na Yudahene Ahasia kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsraa no.
And he returned to be healed in Izreel, because of the woundes wherewith they had wounded him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael King of Aram. Nowe Azariah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Iehoram the sonne of Ahab at Izreel, because hee was diseased.
7 Na yei danee mfomsoɔ kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ, ɔbɛtwe Ahasia aso. Saa nsrahwɛ yi mu na Ahasia ne Yoram kɔhyiaa Nimsi babarima Yehu, a na Awurade ayi no sɛ ɔntwa Ahab fie adedie ntoatoasoɔ no so.
And the destruction of Ahaziah came of God in that he went to Ioram: for when he was come, he went forth with Iehoram against Iehu the sonne of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 Ɛberɛ a Yehu rebu atɛn atia Ahab fie no, ɔhyiaa Yuda mpanimfoɔ ne Ahasia abusuafoɔ bi a na wɔresom Ahasia. Enti, Yehu kunkumm wɔn nyinaa.
Therefore when Iehu executed iudgement vpon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Iudah and the sonnes of the brethren of Ahaziah that waited on Ahaziah, he slew them also.
9 Afei, Yehu mmarima hwehwɛɛ Ahasia, na wɔkɔhunuu no sɛ wakɔtɛ Samaria kuropɔn no mu. Wɔde no brɛɛ Yehu, na ɔkumm no. Wɔsiee Ahasia maa ɛyɛɛ fɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa dii ne ho adanseɛ sɛ, “Ɔyɛ Yehosafat a ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ Awurade no nana.” Ahasia abusua mu nnipa a wɔkaa akyire no mu biara amfata sɛ ɔdi ahennie no so.
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him where he was hid in Samaria, and brought him to Iehu, and slewe him, and buryed him, because, sayd they, he is the sonne of Iehoshaphat, which sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah was not able to reteine the kingdome.
10 Ɛberɛ a Yudahene Ahasia ne maame Atalia tee sɛ ne babarima no awuo no, ɔkekaa ne ho, pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda adehyeɛ abusua no.
Therefore when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah sawe that her sonne was dead, shee arose and destroyed all the Kings seede of the house of Iudah.
11 Nanso, Ahasia nuabaa Yehoseba, a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Yehoram babaa, faa Ahasia babarima abadomaa Yoas firii ɔhene no mma a aka a wɔrebɛkum wɔn no mu. Ɔde Yoas ne onipa a ɔhwɛ no no kɔsiee pia bi mu. Yei ne ɛkwan a ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada yere Yehoseba faa so de abɔfra no sieeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na Atalia nnya no nkum no.
But Iehoshabeath the daughter of ye King, tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes, that shoulde be slayne, and put him and his nource in the bed chamber: so Iehoshabeath the daughter of King Iehoram the wife of Iehoiada the Priest (for shee was the sister of Ahaziah) hid him from Athaliah: so she slew him not.
12 Yoas hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu hɔ mfeɛ nsia wɔ ɛberɛ a na Atalia di ɔman no so no.
And hee was with them hid in the house of God sixe yeeres, whiles Athaliah reigned ouer the land.
