2 Berɛsosɛm 31
1 Afei, ɛberɛ a afahyɛ no twaam no, Israelfoɔ a wɔkɔɔ bi no kɔɔ Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase nkuro nyinaa so, kɔsɛee afadum kronkron no, twitwaa Asera afɔrebukyia no, yiyii abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ ne afɔrebukyia no. Yei akyi, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn nkuro so ne wɔn afie mu.
Ebyo byonna bwe byaggwa, Abayisirayiri bonna abaaliyo ne bagenda mu bibuga bya Yuda, ne baasaayasa amayinja agaasinzibwanga, ne bamenyaamenya n’empagi za Baasera. Ne basaanyizaawo ddala ebifo ebigulumivu n’ebyoto ebyali mu Yuda, ne mu Benyamini, ne mu Efulayimu ne mu Manase. Awo Abayisirayiri bwe baamala okubisaanyaawo byonna, ne baddayo mu bibuga byabwe, ku butaka bwabwe.
2 Afei, Hesekia kyekyɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no mu akuakuo, sɛ wɔmmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ, sɛ wɔnsom, na wɔmfa aseda ne nkamfo mma Awurade wɔ Asɔredan no apono ano.
Keezeekiya n’addira bakabona n’Abaleevi n’abassa mu bibinja, buli omu ng’obuweereza bwe bwali, oba kabona oba muleevi, okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe okuweerezanga, n’okwebazanga, n’okutenderezanga ku nzigi eza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
3 Ɔhene no ankasa maa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔyɛ mmoa ma anɔpa ne anwummerɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne nnawɔtwe homeda afahyɛ ne bosome Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ no ne afirinhyia afɔdeɛ a aka no, sɛdeɛ Awurade mmara kyerɛ no.
Kabaka n’awaayo ku byobugagga bwe ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eby’enkya n’eby’akawungeezi, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ebya ssabbiiti, n’eby’emyezi egyakaboneka, n’assaawo n’embaga ezaalagirwa nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu tteeka lya Mukama.
4 Ɛno akyi, ɔhwɛɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no de deɛ wɔnya mu kyɛfa a mmara no ka no bɛma asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔde wɔn ho nyinaa ahyɛ Awurade mmara no mu.
N’alagira abantu abaabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi okuwangayo omugabo nga bwe kyali kibagwanira eri bakabona n’Abaleevi, nabo beeweerengayo ddala nga bwe kyalagirwa mu tteeka lya Mukama.
5 Nnipa no tiee no aso pa mu, na wɔfiri akoma pa mu de nnɔbaeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɛyɛ atokoɔ, nsã foforɔ, ngo, ɛwoɔ ne wɔn mfudeɛ nyinaa baeɛ. Wɔde wɔn ahodeɛ biara mu ntotosoɔ dudu baeɛ.
Awo ekiragiro ekyo bwe kyabuna wonna, amangwago Abayisirayiri ne bawaayo ku bibala byabwe ebibereberye bingi eby’eŋŋaano, n’ebya wayini omusu, n’eby’amafuta, n’eby’omubisi gw’enjuki ne ku ebyo byonna ebyava mu nnimiro. Ne baleeta bingi nnyo, ekitundu eky’ekkumi ku buli kintu.
6 Nnipa a wɔtu firii Israel baa Yuda no ne Yudafoɔ no ankasa de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn nnwan so ntotosoɔ dudu ne nneɛma a wɔahyira so ama Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn no so ntotosoɔ dudu baeɛ. Wɔboaa ano ma ɛyɛɛ akuakuo akɛseakɛseɛ.
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda abaabeeranga mu bibuga bya Yuda, nabo ne baleeta ekimu eky’ekkumi ku nte n’endiga, n’ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’ebintu ebyatukuzibwa ebyayawulirwa Mukama Katonda waabwe, ne babituuma entuumo.
7 Wɔde saa ntotosoɔ dudu a ɛdi ɛkan no baa bosome a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no awieeɛ mu, na nneɛma no anoboa kɔɔ so kɔsii bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ahyɛaseɛ mu.
Baatandika okutuuma ebintu ebyo entuumo mu mwezi ogwokusatu ne bamaliriza mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu.
8 Ɛberɛ a Hesekia ne ne mpanimfoɔ bɛhunuu nneɛma dodoɔ no, wɔdaa Awurade ne ne nkurɔfoɔ Israel ase.
Awo Keezeekiya n’abakungu be, bwe bajja ne balaba entuumo ne beebaza Mukama, ne basabira n’abantu be, Isirayiri, omukisa.
9 Hesekia bisaa asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛhe na yeinom nyinaa firi baeɛ?”
Keezeekiya n’abuuza bakabona n’Abaleevi ebikwata ku ntuumu.
10 Na ɔsɔfopanin Asaria a ɔfiri Sadok abusua mu buaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔmanfoɔ firii aseɛ sɛ wɔde akyɛdeɛ reba Awurade Asɔredan mu no, yɛanya bebree a yɛbɛdi ama ebi aka, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyira ne nkurɔfoɔ.”
Azaliya kabona asinga obukulu ow’omu nnyumba ya Zadooki n’amuddamu nti, “Okuva abantu lwe baatandika okuleeta ebirabo byabwe mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, tubadde n’ebyokulya ebiwera n’ebirala ne bifikkawo, kubanga Mukama awadde abantu be omukisa, n’ebifisseewo bye bino obungi.”
11 Hesekia yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛnya adekoradan wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu, na wɔyɛeɛ.
Awo Keezeekiya n’alagira bateeketeeke amaterekero mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne bagateekateeka.
12 Na wɔdii nokorɛ de akyɛdeɛ no ne ntotosoɔ dudu no nyinaa baa Asɔredan no mu. Wɔde hyɛɛ Lewini Kenania nsa maa ne nua Simei yɛɛ ne ɔboafoɔ.
Ne balyoka baleeta ebirabo, ebintu eby’ekimu eky’ekkumi, n’ebintu ebyatukuzibwa. Konaniya Omuleevi ye yavunaanyizibwanga ebintu ebyo, ate nga Simeeyi muganda we ye mumyuka we.
13 Sohwɛfoɔ a na wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no ne Yehiel, Asasia, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimot, Yosabad, Eliel, Ismakia, Mahat ne Benaia. Ɔhene Hesekia ne Asaria a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu sohwɛfoɔ panin no na wɔkyekyɛɛ saa dibea ahodoɔ yi.
Yekyeri, ne Azaziya, ne Nakasi, ne Asakeri, ne Yerimosi, Yozabadi, ne Eryeri, ne Isumakiya, ne Makasi ne Benaya be baabayambangako. Konaniya ne Simeeyi muganda we, baalondebwa Kabaka Keezeekiya ne Azaliya omukungu omukulu eyavunaanyizibwanga yeekaalu ya Katonda.
14 Lewini Yimna babarima Kore a ɔyɛ Apueeɛ Ɛpono ano hwɛfoɔ no na wɔde hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛ, ɔnkyekyɛ Onyankopɔn ayamyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ ne nneɛma a wɔde ama Awurade no.
Kole mutabani wa Imuna Omuleevi, omuggazi w’omulyango ogw’ebuvanjuba, ye yavunaanyizibwanga ebyo bye baawangayo eri Katonda ku bwabwe awatali kuwalirizibwa, ng’agabanyamu ebyatonebwanga eri Mukama, n’ebirabo ebyayawulibwanga.
15 Nʼaboafoɔ nokwafoɔ no ne Eden, Miniamin, Yesua, Semaia, Amaria ne Sekania. Na wɔkyekyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfoɔ mmusua a wɔwɔ wɔn nkuro so sɛdeɛ wɔn nkyekyɛmu teɛ, na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa mmɔfra ne mpanin.
Edene, ne Miniyamini, ne Yesuwa, ne Semaaya, ne Amaliya ne Sekaniya, be baamuyambangako n’obwesigwa mu bibuga bya bakabona okugabiranga bakabona bannaabwe ng’ebibinja byabwe bwe byali, abakulu n’abato.
16 Na wɔkyɛɛ mmarimaa a wɔadi mfeɛ mmiɛnsa rekɔ nyinaa akyɛdeɛ no bi a wɔn din wɔ wɔn abusuadua nwoma mu, a nso da biara wɔkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu, kɔyɛ wɔn nnwuma a wɔde ahyɛ wɔn ekuo no nsa.
Ate era baagabiranga n’abalenzi ab’emyaka esatu n’okukirawo abaali babalibbwa ng’okuzaalibwa kwe mbala bwe kwalinga, abo bonna abayingiranga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama okutuukirizanga emirimu gyabwe nga bwe kyabagwaniranga, mu bibinja byabwe.
17 Na wɔkyɛɛ nneɛma no maa asɔfoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn abusuadua nwoma mu ne Lewifoɔ a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne deɛ ɛboro saa, a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn din sɛdeɛ wɔn nnwuma ne wɔn nkyekyɛmu teɛ.
Ne bagabiranga ne bakabona abaabalibwa ng’enzaalwa mu kubala okw’okuzaalibwa kwabwe bwe kwali, n’Abaleevi abaali ab’emyaka amakumi abiri n’okukirawo ne babagabira ng’eby’obuvunaanyizibwa bwabwe mu bibinja byabwe bwe byali.
18 Na wɔmaa mmusuafoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ abusuadua nwoma mu a mmadoma, ɔyerenom ne mmammarima ne mmammaa nso ka ho nnuane, sɛ wɔn kyɛfa. Ɛfiri sɛ na wɔadi nokorɛ adwira wɔn ho.
Omwo mwe mwali abaana abato, n’abakyala, ne batabani baabwe, ne bawala baabwe ng’ebitundu byabwe bwe byali biwandiikiddwa mu byafaayo eby’okuzaalibwa. Ne babeera beesigwa mu kwekuuma nga batukuvu.
19 Na asɔfoɔ, Aaron asefoɔ a na wɔtete nkuraa a atwa nkuro no ho ahyia no, wɔyiyii nnipa ma wɔkyɛɛ ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfoɔ no mu ne Lewifoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ abusuadua mu no nneɛma no bi.
Bazzukulu ba Alooni, bakabona abaabeeranga ku ttaka okwalimibwanga, eryabanga ery’ebibuga byabwe, mu buli kibuga, buli musajja mu bo yaweebwa omugabo, n’abo bonna abaali bawandiikiddwa mu byafaayo eby’okuzaalibwa kw’Abaleevi, nabo ne bagabana.
20 Saa ɛkwan yi so na Hesekia fa kyɛɛ nneɛma wɔ Yudaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛfata na ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn ani.
Bw’atyo Keezeekiya bwe yakola ne mu Yuda yonna, n’akola ebirungi era ebituufu n’obwesigwa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we.
21 Deɛ Hesekia yɛeɛ nyinaa de som wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, ne mmɔden a ɔbɔɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so no, ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa hwehwɛɛ ne Onyankopɔn. Ne saa enti, ɛmaa ɔnyaa nkɔsoɔ bebree.
Buli mulimu gwe yatandika mu buweereza mu yeekaalu ya Katonda, ng’agoberera amateeka n’ebiragiro, yanoonyanga Katonda we, era n’akolanga n’omutima gwe gwonna, n’alaba omukisa.
