2 Ahemfo 11
1 Ɛberɛ a Yudahene Ahasia, ne maame Atalia tee sɛ ne babarima no awuo no, ɔkɔeɛ sɛ ɔrekɔsɛe adehyebusua a aka no.
U-Athaliya unina ka-Ahaziya wathi ebona ukuthi indodana yakhe isifile, waqhubeka ebulala bonke abendlunkulu.
2 Nanso, Ahasia nuabaa Yehoseba a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Yehoram babaa no faa Ahasia ba abarimaa ketewa Yoas, yii no firii ɔhene no mma a anka wɔrebɛkunkum wɔn no mu. Yehoseba de Yoas ne ne bagyegyefoɔ kɔhintaa pia bi mu, sɛdeɛ Atalia renhunu no. Ɛno enti, wɔannya abɔfra no ankum no.
Kodwa uJehoshebha, indodakazi yenkosi uJehoramu njalo engudadewabo ka-Ahaziya, wathatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya wamnqenqisa emsusa phakathi kwamakhosana ayesezabulawa. Wamfihla kanye lomlizane wakhe endlini yokulala emcatshisa ukuze u-Athaliya angaze ambona; yikho kasazange abulawe.
3 Yoas ne deɛ ɔgyegye no no hintaaeɛ, wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu mfeɛ nsia, ɛberɛ a na Atalia di ɔhene wɔ asase no so no.
Wahlala ecatshisiwe yena kanye lomlizane wakhe ethempelini likaThixo okweminyaka eyisithupha yokubusa kuka-Athaliya.
4 Atalia adedie mfeɛ nson mu no, ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada soma ma wɔkɔfaa Karifoɔ asraafoɔ apaafoɔ ne awɛmfoɔ baa Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ. Ɔne wɔn yɛɛ nhyehyɛeɛ, na ɔma wɔkaa ntam sɛ wɔbɛdi nokorɛ wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ. Afei, ɔde ɔhene babarima Yoas kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada wamema abalawuli bamakhulu, amaKharithi kanye labalindi, bonke balethwa phambi kwakhe ethempelini likaThixo. Wenza isivumelwano labo wabafungisa ethempelini likaThixo. Wasebatshengisa indodana yenkosi.
5 Yehoiada ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nie. Mo mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako a moyɛ adwuma homeda no bɛwɛn ahemfie no.
Wabalaya wathi, “Nanku elizakwenza: Lina elisemaviyweni amathathu azabe elindile ngeSabatha, ingxenye yokuthathu yenu kumele ilinde isigodlo,
6 Nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako nso, nnwɛn wɔ Sur ɛpono no ano. Na nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako a aka no nso, bɛwɛn ahemfie no akyi. Saa akuo mmiɛnsa yi nyinaa bɛwɛn ahemfie no.
lengxenye yokuthathu eseSangweni laseSuri, lengxenye yokuthathu esangweni elingemuva kwabalindi, abazophisanayo ukulinda ithempeli,
7 Akuo mmienu a wɔamma adwuma homeda no nso bɛwɛn ama ɔhene no wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
lani elisemaviyweni amabili okuvame ukuthi lingasebenzi ngeSabatha, lonke lizalindela inkosi ithempeli.
8 Mobɛyɛ ɔhene ho awɛmfoɔ kuo, a mokurakura mo akodeɛ. Onipa biara a wɔmmaa no kwan a ɔbɛbɛn mo no, monkum no. Ɛberɛ biara, mommɛn ɔhene no.”
Lizalinda lizingelezele inkosi, ngulowo ehlomile ngesikhali sakhe esandleni sakhe. Loba ngubani osondela kini kumele abulawe. Hlalani liseduze kwenkosi loba ingaze iye ngaphi.”
9 Na asahene no dii biribiara a ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Asahene no faa asraafoɔ a wɔbaa adwuma homeda no ne wɔn a wɔakɔ adwuma da no no. Wɔde wɔn nyinaa baa ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada anim.
Abalawuli bekhulu benza njengokulaywa kwabo nguJehoyada umphristi. Umlawuli munye ngamunye wathatha iviyo lakhe lamadoda lawo ayesiya ekulindeni ngeSabatha lalawo ayezakuba engasebenzi eza kuJehoyada umphristi.
10 Ɔmaa wɔn mpea ne akyɛm a na berɛ bi ɛyɛ ɔhene Dawid dea a na wɔakora no Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ no.
Ngakho yena wanika abalawuli imikhonto lamahawu ayengawenkosi uDavida ayegcinwa ethempelini likaThixo.
11 Awɛmfoɔ no gyinagyinaa ɔhene no ho hyiaeɛ a wɔkurakura wɔn akodeɛ. Wɔsaa so tee firii asɔredan no anafoɔ fam, de kɔfaa atifi fam, ne afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.
Kwathi abalindi ngamunye, ephethe isikhali esandleni sakhe, bajama bephahle inkosi iseduze kwe-alithari lethempelini, kusukela ezansi kusiya enyakatho yethempeli.
12 Na Yehoiada de ɔhene babarima Yoas no pueeɛ, hyɛɛ no ahenkyɛ. Ɔmaa Yoas Onyankopɔn apam no nhwɛsoɔ no bi, sii no ɔhene. Wɔsraa no, na nnipa no nyinaa bɔɔ wɔn nsam, teateaam sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
UJehoyada waseveza indodana yenkosi wayethwesa umqhele; wayiqhubela lesivumelwano sikaThixo wahle wamemezela ukuba isiyinkosi. Bayigcoba inkosi, abantu batshaya izandla bahlaba umkhosi besithi, “Mpilo ende enkosini!”
13 Atalia tee gyegyeegye no a awɛmfoɔ no ne nnipa no reyɛ no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ, kɔhwɛɛ deɛ ɛrekɔ so.
U-Athaliya uthe esizwa umkhosi wokujabula kwabalindi kanye labantu bonke, waya ebantwini ngasethempelini likaThixo.
14 Ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene foforɔ no gyina beaeɛ bi a ɛkyerɛ ne tumi wɔ afadum no ho, sɛdeɛ amanneɛ kyerɛ wɔ ahensie mu no. Na mpanimfoɔ ne totorobɛntohyɛnfoɔ atwa ne ho ahyia. Na nnipa a wɔfiri asase no so afanan nyinaa redi ahurisie rehyɛn totorobɛnto. Ɛberɛ a Atalia hunuu yeinom nyinaa no, ɔde ahometeɛ sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu teateaam sɛ, “Amammɔeɛsɛm! Amammɔeɛsɛm!”
Uthe ethi mehlo suka, wabona nansi inkosi, yayimi eduze kwensika njengomkhuba. Izikhulu labatshayi bamacilongo babesekele inkosi, abantu bonke bejabula ngokutshaya amacilongo. Ngakho u-Athaliya wadabula izembatho zakhe wamemeza esithi, “Umvukela! Umvukela!”
15 Na ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada hyɛɛ asafohene a wɔhwɛ nsraadɔm no so no sɛ, “Momfa no mfiri asɔredan mu ha, na monkum obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔgye no. Monnkum no wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu ha.”
UJehoyada waselaya abalawuli bekhulu, ababelawula amabutho wathi: “Mkhupheni limfake phakathi kwamaviyo amabutho limhlasele ngenkemba lowo ozama ukumlandela.” Ngenxa yokuthi umphristi wayethe, “Akumelanga abulawelwe ethempelini likaThixo.”
16 Enti, wɔkyeree no de no puee ɛpono no ano wɔ baabi a apɔnkɔ fa ba ahemfie hɔ no, kumm no wɔ hɔ.
Ngakho bamdumela ekufikeni kwakhe endaweni lapha okungenela khona amabhiza esigodlweni, kulapho abulawelwa khona.
17 Na Yehoiada yɛɛ apam de too Awurade ne ɔhene ne nnipa no ntam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ. Ɔsane yɛɛ apam too ɔhene no ne nnipa no ntam.
UJehoyada wasesenza isivumelwano phakathi kukaThixo lenkosi kanye labantu ukuthi bavume ukuba ngabantu bakaThixo. Wenza njalo isivumelwano phakathi kwenkosi labantu.
18 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa kɔɔ Baal abosonnan mu, kɔbubu guu fam. Wɔbubuu afɔrebukyia ne ahoni ahodoɔ nyinaa no asinasini, kumm Baal ɔbosomfoɔ Matan nso wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim. Ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada maa awɛmfoɔ wɛnee Awurade asɔredan no.
Abantu bonke belizwe baya ethempelini likaBhali bafika balidilizela phansi. Babhidliza ama-alithare lezithombe kwaba yizicucu, babulala uMathani umphristi kaBhali phambi kwama-alithare. Ngakho uJehoyada umphristi wasebeka abalindi ethempelini likaThixo.
19 Na asahene, Karifoɔ asraafoɔ apaafoɔ, awɛmfoɔ no ne nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa dii ɔhene no akyi, de no pue firii Awurade asɔredan no mu. Wɔfaa awɛmfoɔ no ɛpono no ano, kɔɔ ahemfie hɔ, na ɔhene no kɔtenaa ahennwa no so.
Wathatha abalawuli bamakhulu, amaKharithi, abalindi labantu bonke belizwe, sebendawonye behla lenkosi ethempelini likaThixo baya layo esigodlweni, bengenela esangweni labalindi. Inkosi yasithatha indawo yayo esihlalweni sobukhosi,
20 Enti, nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa dii ahurisie, na asomdwoeɛ baa kuropɔn no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔakum Atalia wɔ ahemfie.
abantu bonke belizwe baba lokujabula okukhulu. Kwaba lokuthula emzini, ngoba u-Athaliya wayesebulewe ngenkemba esigodlweni.
21 Yoas bɛdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia nson.
UJowashi waqalisa ukubusa eleminyaka eyisikhombisa.
