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 Jerusalem cause Ahaziah his youngest son to reign in his stead, (for all the elder had the troop slain that came in with the Arabians to the camp, ) and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth.
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.
A son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah 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 also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath been his counsellor to do 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.
And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.
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.
Also, in their counsel he hath walked, and goeth with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel to battle against Hazael king of Aram, in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah smite Joram;
6 Yoram sane kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsaa nʼapirakuro no, na Yudahene Ahasia kɔɔ Yesreel kɔsraa no.
and he turneth back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had smitten him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab, in Jezreel, for he [is] sick;
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 from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off 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.
And it cometh to pass, in Jehu's executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he findeth the heads of Judah and sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slayeth them.
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 seeketh Ahaziah, and they capture him, (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him in unto Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, 'He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart;' and there is none to the house of Ahaziah to retain power for the kingdom.
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.
And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath seen that her son is dead, and she riseth and destroyeth the whole seed of the kingdom of the house of Judah.
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.
And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and putteth him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of king Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she hath been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah, and she hath not put him to death.
12 Yoas hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu hɔ mfeɛ nsia wɔ ɛberɛ a na Atalia di ɔman no so no.
And he is with them in the house of God hiding himself six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
