1 Ahemfo 14
1 Saa bere no, Yeroboam babarima Abia yaree denneennen.
Ngalesosikhathi uAbhiya indodana kaJerobhowamu wagula.
2 Enti Yeroboam ka kyerɛɛ ne yere se, “Sesa wo ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara renhu wo sɛ wone ɔhemmea no. Na kɔ odiyifo Ahiya, ɔbarima a ɔka kyerɛɛ me se medi hene no nkyɛn wɔ Silo.
UJerobhowamu wasesithi kumkakhe: Akusuke uzifihle isimo ukuze bangakwazi ukuthi ungumkaJerobhowamu, uye eShilo; khangela, kukhona lapho uAhiya umprofethi owangitshela ukuthi ngizakuba yinkosi phezu kwalababantu.
3 Fa brodo mua du, ɔfam ne ɛwo tumpan kɔkyɛ no, na bisa no nea ɛbɛba abarimaa no so.”
Uthathe izinkwa ezilitshumi esandleni sakho lamaqebelengwana alukhuni lodiwo loluju, uye kuye, yena uzakutshela okuzakwenzeka kulumntwana.
4 Na Yeroboam yere no kɔɔ Ahiya fi wɔ Silo. Saa bere no na wabɔ akwakoraa a onhu ade.
UmkaJerobhowamu wasesenza njalo, wasuka waya eShilo, wafika emzini kaAhiya. Kodwa uAhiya wayengelakubona ngoba amehlo akhe ayesenqundekile ngenxa yobudala bakhe.
5 Nanso na Awurade aka akyerɛ Ahiya se, “Yeroboam yere bɛba ha, na ɔbɛhyɛ da ayɛ ne ho sɛ obi foforo. Obebisa wo ne babarima no ho asɛm, efisɛ ɔyare denneennen. Sɛ ɛba saa a, fa mmuae a mede bɛma wo no ma no.”
INkosi yasisithi kuAhiya: Khangela, umkaJerobhowamu uyeza ukubuza ulutho kuwe ngendodana yakhe, ngoba iyagula. Uzamtshela ukuthi lokuthi. Ngoba kuzakuthi ekungeneni kwakhe, uzazitshaya omunye.
6 Na Ahiya tee ne nan ase wɔ pon ano no, ɔfrɛe se, “Yeroboam yere, bra mu! Adɛn nti na woahyɛ da ayɛ wo ho sɛ obi foforo?” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mewɔ asɛmmɔne ka kyerɛ wo.
Kwasekusithi uAhiya esizwa izisinde zenyawo zakhe lapho engena emnyango wathi: Ngena mkaJerobhowamu; uzitshayelani omunye? Ngoba ngithunywe kuwe ngento enzima.
7 Fa saa nkra yi a efi Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn kɔma wo kunu Yeroboam se, ‘Mepagyaw wo fi mpapahwekwa mu, de wo besii me nkurɔfo Israel so hene.
Hamba uthi kuJerobhowamu: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Njengoba ngakuphakamisa uphakathi kwabantu, ngakwenza umbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli,
8 Mituu ahemman no ase fii Dawid fi, de maa wo. Nanso woammu wo bra te sɛ me somfo Dawid a odii mʼahyɛde so a ɔde ne koma nyinaa dii mʼakyi, na daa ɔyɛɛ biribiara a mepɛ sɛ ɔyɛ no.
ngadabula umbuso ngawususa endlini kaDavida, ngawunika wena; kodwa kawubanga njengenceku yami uDavida, owagcina imilayo yami, lowangilandela ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, ukwenza okuhle kuphela emehlweni ami;
9 Bɔne a woayɛ no dɔɔso sen wɔn a wɔtenaa ase ansa na wɔrewo wo no. Woayɛ anyame afoforo ma ɛnam so ama me bo afuw wo, wo sikakɔkɔɔ nantwi mma no nti. Na esiane sɛ woadan wʼakyi akyerɛ me nti,
kodwa wenzile ububi okwedlula bonke ababekhona phambi kwakho, kodwa uhambe wazenzela abanye onkulunkulu lezithombe ezibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, ukuze ungithukuthelise, wangilahla emva komhlana wakho.
10 mede amanehunu bɛba wo fi ahenni nnidiso so, na mekum wo mmabarima nyinaa, akoa ne nea odi ne ho so nso. Mɛhyew wʼahenni nnidiso no ase, sɛnea obi hyew wura ma ase tu koraa no.
Ngakho, khangela, ngizakwehlisela ububi endlini kaJerobhowamu, ngiqume asuke kuJerobhowamu ochamela emdulini, ovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli, ngihugule okulandelayo kwendlu kaJerobhowamu, njengomuntu ehugula umquba uze uphele.
11 Me, Awurade, meka ntam se, wo fifo a wobewuwu wɔ kurow no mu no, akraman na wɔbɛwe wɔn nam, na wɔn a wobewuwu wuram no nso, apete na wɔbɛsosɔw wɔn nam.’”
OkaJerobhowamu ofela phakathi komuzi zizamudla izinja, lofela egangeni zizamudla inyoni zamazulu; ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile.
12 Na Ahiya ka kyerɛɛ Yeroboam yere se, “Kɔ fie, na sɛ wuwura kurow no mu ara pɛ a, abofra no bewu.
Ngakho wena suka, uye endlini yakho; ekungeneni kwenyawo zakho emzini umntwana uzakufa.
13 Na Israel nyinaa besu no, na wɔasie no. Ɔno nko ne onipa a ofi mo fi a wobesie no yiye, na saa abofra no nko na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, hu no sɛ ade pa wɔ Yeroboam fifo nyinaa mu.
Njalo uIsrayeli wonke uzamlilela amngcwabe; ngoba nguye kuphela koJerobhowamu ozakuza engcwabeni, ngoba kutholakala kuye into elungileyo ngaseNkosini uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli endlini kaJerobhowamu.
14 Na Awurade bɛpagyaw ne hene a obedi Israel so. Ɔno na ɔbɛtɔre Yeroboam fifo ase. Saa asɛm no besi nnɛ yi ara, saa dɔnhwerew yi ara mu.
Futhi uJehova uzazivusela inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, ezaquma indlu kaJerobhowamu ngalolosuku. Kodwa kuyini? Lakhathesi.
15 Na Awurade bɛwosow Israel te sɛ sibiri a ehinhim wɔ asuwa ani. Obetutu Israelfo ase afi saa asase pa a ɔde maa wɔn agyanom no so. Na ɔbɛbɔ wɔn apete, atra Asubɔnten Eufrate, efisɛ wɔnam som a wɔsom Asera nnua no so ahyɛ Awurade abufuw.
Njalo iNkosi izamtshaya uIsrayeli njengomhlanga uzunguzeka emanzini, iquphule uIsrayeli elizweni leli elihle, eyalinika oyise, ibachithachithe ngaphetsheya komfula, ngenxa yokuthi bazenzela izixuku, bayithukuthelisa iNkosi.
16 Ɔbɛto Israel asaworam, efisɛ Yeroboam yɛɛ bɔne, nam so maa Israel nyinaa ne no yɛɛ bɔne.”
Njalo izanikela uIsrayeli ngenxa yezono zikaJerobhowamu, owonayo, wenza uIsrayeli one.
17 Na Yeroboam yere san kɔɔ Tirsa. Na bere a owuraa ne fi no, abofra no wui.
UmkaJerobhowamu wasesuka wahamba, wafika eTiriza. Lapho efika embundwini wendlu, umfana wafa.
18 Bere a Israelfo siee no no, wosuu no sɛnea Awurade nam odiyifo Ahiya so hyɛe no.
Basebemngcwaba; loIsrayeli wonke wamlilela, njengokwelizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma ngesandla senceku yayo uAhiya umprofethi.
19 Yeroboam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, nʼakodi nyinaa ne ɔkwan a ɔfaa so buu ɔman no nyinaa no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma Mu.
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJerobhowamu, ukuthi walwa njani, lokuthi wabusa njani, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoIsrayeli.
20 Yeroboam dii ade wɔ Israel mfe aduonu abien. Owui no, ne babarima Nadab na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
Lensuku uJerobhowamu abusa ngazo zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili, walala laboyise, njalo uNadabi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
21 Na Salomo babarima Rehoboam na na odi hene wɔ Yuda. Bere a odii ade no, na wadi mfe aduanan baako, na odii ade mfe dunson wɔ Yerusalem, kurow a na Awurade ayi wɔ Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu, sɛ ɔde rehyɛ ne din anuonyam no. Na Rehoboam ne na din de Naama a ɔyɛ Amonni.
URehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni wabusa-ke koJuda. URehobhowamu wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa eJerusalema, umuzi iNkosi eyayiwukhethile kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, ukubeka khona ibizo layo. Lebizo likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.
22 Bere a na Rehoboam di ade no, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda no yɛɛ bɔne Awurade anim, maa ne bo fuw wɔ wɔn bɔne no ho. Na saa bɔne no sen nea wɔn agyanom no yɛe mpo.
UJuda wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi; bayivusa ubukhwele, ngezono zabo abazonayo, okwedlula konke oyise ababekwenzile, ngezono zabo abazonayo.
23 Wosisii abosomfi, gyinaa dannua a wɔatew ho ne Asera nnua wɔ bepɔw biara so ne dutan frɔmfrɔm biara ase.
Ngoba labo bazakhela izindawo eziphakemeyo, lezinsika eziyizithombe, lezixuku, phezu kwalo lonke uqaqa oluphakemeyo, langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza.
24 Mpo, na abosomfi mmarima nguamanfo wɔ asase no so mmaa nyinaa. Nnipa no suasuaa akyiwade ahorow a amanaman a wɔsom abosom no yɛe nti a Awurade pam wɔn fii asase no so maa Israelfo no.
Kwakukhona-ke elizweni lezinkotshana. Benza njengokwezinengiso zezizwe iNkosi eyayizixotshile elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
25 Rehoboam dii ade ne mfe anum so no, Misraimhene Sisak bɛtow hyɛɛ Yerusalem so.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wenkosi uRehobhowamu uShishaki inkosi yeGibhithe wenyuka wamelana leJerusalema.
26 Ɔbɔ wuraa Awurade Asɔredan no mu ne ahemfi hɔ baabiara, wiaa biribiara a sikakɔkɔɔ akyɛm a Salomo yɛe no ka ho.
Wathatha amagugu endlu kaJehova lamagugu endlu yenkosi, yebo wakuthatha konke, wathatha zonke izihlangu zegolide uSolomoni ayezenzile.
27 Akyiri no, Rehoboam yɛɛ kɔbere akyɛm de sii anan, na ɔde hyɛɛ ahemfi awɛmfo no nsa sɛ wɔnhwɛ so.
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasisenza endaweni yazo izihlangu zethusi, yazinikela esandleni senduna yabalindi ababegcina umnyango wendlu yenkosi.
28 Bere biara a ɔhene no kɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ no, awɛmfo no soa kɔ hɔ bi, na sɛ owie na ɔreba a, wɔsan de begu awɛmfo dan no mu.
Njalo kwakusithi lapho inkosi ingena endlini kaJehova abalindi babezithwala, bazibuyisele endlini yabalindi.
29 Na Rehoboam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae no ne dwuma a odii no de, wɔankyerɛw ne nyinaa wɔ Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaRehobhowamu, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
