1 Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Peka adi ɔhene wɔ Israel mfeɛ dunson no, na Yotam babarima Ahas nso bɛdii adeɛ wɔ Yuda.
In the seuententhe yeer of Phacee, sone of Romelie, Achaz, the sone of Joathan, kyng of Juda, regnyde.
2 Ahas dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu. Na ɔdii Yerusalem nso so ɔhene mfirinhyia dunsia. Wanyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn ani, sɛdeɛ ne panin Dawid yɛeɛ no.
Achaz was of twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnyde sixtene yeer in Jerusalem; he dide not that, that was plesaunt in the siyt of his Lord God, as Dauid, his fadir dide, but he yede in the weie of the kyngis of Israel.
3 Mmom, ɔhwɛɛ Israel ahemfo nhwɛsoɔ so, na mpo ɔde ɔno ankasa ne babarima bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ogya mu. Ɔsuasuaa abosonsom aman no nneɛma a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ ma Awurade a ɛno enti ɔpamoo wɔn firii Israelfoɔ anim no.
Ferthermore and he halewide his sone, and bar thorouy the fier, bi the idols of hethene men, whiche the Lord distriede bifore the sones of Israel.
4 Ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ, hyee nnuhwam wɔ abosomfie, mmepɔ so ne dua frɔmfrɔm biara ase.
And he offride sacrifices, and brente encense in hiy placis, and in hillis, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis.
5 Afei, Aramhene Resin ne Israelhene Peka tuu sa wɔ Ahas so. Wɔkɔtuaa Yerusalem, nanso wɔanni so nkonim.
Thanne Rasyn, kyng of Sirye, and Phacee, sone of Romelie, kyng of Israel, stiede in to Jerusalem to fiyte; and whanne thei bisegide Achaz, thei miyten not ouercome hym.
6 Saa ɛberɛ no, Edomhene gyee Elat kuro maa Edom. Ɔpamoo Yudafoɔ, na ɔmaa Edomfoɔ no kɔtenaa hɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛte ɛnnɛ yi.
In that tyme Rasyn, kyng of Sirie, restoride Ahila to Sirie, and castide out Jewis fro Ahila; and Ydumeis and men of Sirie camen into Ahila, and dwelliden there til in to this dai.
7 Ɔhene Ahas somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Asiriahene Tiglat-Pileser nkyɛn, de nkra kɔmaa no sɛ, “Meyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ ne wo ba. Bra na bɛgye me firi Aram ne Israel akodɔm a wɔaka me ahyɛ no nsam.”
Forsothe Achaz sente messangeris to Teglat Phalasar, kyng of Assiriens, and seide, Y am thi seruaunt and thi sone; stie thou, and make me saaf fro the hond of the kyng of Sirie, and fro the hond of the kyng of Israel, that han rise togidere ayens me.
8 Na Ahas faa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ firii Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ, faa ahemfie hɔ sika de kyɛɛ Asiriahene no.
And whanne Achaz hadde gaderide togidere siluer and gold, that myyte be foundun in the hows of the Lord, and in the tresours of the kyng, he sente yiftis to the kyng of Assiriens;
9 Enti, Asiriafoɔ no kɔtuaa Aramfoɔ no wɔ wɔn kuropɔn Damasko mu, kyekyeree ɛhɔfoɔ no nnommum, de wɔn kɔ kɔtenaa Kir. Wɔkumm ɔhene Resin.
whiche assentide to his wille. Sotheli the kyng of Asseriens stiede in to Damask, and wastide it, and translatide the dwelleris therof to Sirenen; sotheli he killide Rasyn.
10 Ɔhene Ahas kɔɔ Damasko, kɔhyiaa Asiriahene Tiglat-Pileser. Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔhunuu afɔrebukyia sononko bi. Enti, ɔde saa afɔrebukyia no sɛso ho mfoni, kɔmaa ɔsɔfoɔ Uria.
And kyng Achaz yede in to metyng to Teglat Phalasaar, kyng of Assiriens; and whanne kyng Achaz hadde seyn the auter of Damask, he sent to Vrie, the preest, the saumpler and licnesse therof, bi al the werk therof.
11 Uria nam ɔhene no asɛm so yɛɛ saa afɔrebukyia no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ, na ɛberɛ a ɔfiri Damasko baeɛ no, na wɔayɛ awie.
And Vrie, the preest, bildide an auter bi alle thingis whiche king Achaz hadde comaundid fro Damask, so dide the preest Vrie, til kyng Achaz cam fro Damask.
12 Ɔhene no firi Damasko baeɛ no, ɔhwɛɛ afɔrebukyia no ho hyiaeɛ, bɔɔ so afɔdeɛ.
And whanne the king cam fro Damask, he siy the auter, and worschipide it; and he stiede, and offride brent sacrifices, and his sacrifice;
13 Ɔhene no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne atokoɔ afɔdeɛ, hwiee nsã afɔdeɛ guu so, na ɔpetee asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ho mogya guu so.
and he offride moist sacrifices, and he schedde the blood of pesible thingis, which he hadde offrid on the auter.
14 Na ɔhene Ahas yii kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a na ɛsi ɛkwan no ano ne afɔrebukyia foforɔ yi ntam no, firii Awurade Asɔredan no anim, de kɔsii afɔrebukyia foforɔ no atifi fam.
Forsothe he dide awei the brasun auter, that was bifor the Lord, fro the face of the temple, and fro the place of the auter, and fro the place of the temple of the Lord; and settide it on the side of the auter `at the north.
15 Ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Uria sɛ, “Bɔ anɔpa afɔdeɛ nyinaa a ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, anwummerɛ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ no, ɔhene ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ne nnipa no nyinaa afɔdeɛ a wɔn nsa afɔdeɛ ka ho wɔ so. Mogya a ɛfiri ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no nyinaa mu no, wɔmfa mpete afɔrebukyia foforɔ no so. Me nko ara na mede kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia dada no bɛdi dwuma.”
Also kyng Achaz comaundide to Vrie, the preest, and seide, Offre thou on the more auter the brent sacrifice of the morewtid, and the sacrifice of euentid, and the brent sacrifice of the king, and the sacrifice of hym, and the brent sacrifice of al the puple of the lond, and the sacrifices of hem, and the moist sacrifices of hem; and thou schalt schede out on that al the blood of brent sacrifice, and al the blood of slayn sacrifice; sotheli the brasun auter schal be redi at my wille.
16 Na ɔsɔfoɔ Uria yɛɛ deɛ ɔhene Ahas ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Therfor Vrie, the preest, dide bi alle thingis whiche kyng Achaz hadde comaundid to hym.
17 Na afei, ɔhene no tutuu afasuo no nkatanimu nnua ne nsuhina nso firi nsuo teaseɛnam no so. Afei ɔyii Po no firii kɔbere mfrafraeɛ anantwie no akyi de sii aboɔ nsameeɛ no so.
Forsothe kyng Achaz took the peyntid foundementis, and the waischyng vessel, that was aboue, and he puttide doun the see, that is, the waischung vessel `for preestis, fro the brasun oxis, that susteyneden it, and he settide on the pawment araied with stoon.
18 Na anidie a ɔde ma Asiriahene no enti, ɔyii kyiniiɛ bi a na wɔayɛ wɔ ahemfie no mu a na wɔde di dwuma homeda no ne ɔhene no abɔntenkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu no firii hɔ.
Also he turnede the tresorie of sabat, which he hadde bildid in the temple, and `he turnede the entryng of the kyng with outforth, in to the temple of the Lord for the kyng of Assiriens.
19 Ahas ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ no ne dwuma ahodoɔ a ɔdiiɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
Forsothe the residue of wordis of Achaz, and alle thingis whiche he dide, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Juda?
20 Ɛberɛ a Ahas wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuro mu. Na ne babarima Hesekia bɛdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
And Achaz slepte with hise fadris, and was biried with hem in the citee of Dauid; and Ezechie, his sone, regnede for hym.
