2 Chronicles 21
1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
Bere a Yehosafat wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Yehoram dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
2 And he had brethren, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
Yehoram nuanom mmarima a na wɔyɛ Yehosafat mmabarima afoforo bi no ne Asaria, Yehiel, Sakaria, Asaria, Mikael ne Sefatia.
3 And their father had given them great gifts of silver and of gold and of precious things, besides fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, for he was the firstborn.
Wɔn agya maa wɔn mu biara akyɛde a ɛsom bo, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenne; na afei, ɔde Yuda nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban no bi kyekyɛɛ wɔn. Na esiane sɛ Yehoram yɛ abakan nti, ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene.
4 And Jehoram established himself over the kingdom of his father, and strengthened himself; and he slew all his brethren with the sword, and [certain] also of the princes of Israel.
Na bere a Yehoram ahenni timii no, okunkum ne nuabarimanom no nyinaa ne Israelfo ntuanofo bi.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Bere a Yehoram dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduasa abien. Na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia awotwe.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Na Yehoram yɛɛ sɛnea Israel ahemfo yɛe. Na ɔyɛ otirimɔdenfo te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, efisɛ na waware Ahab mmabea no mu baako. Enti Yehoram yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
7 But Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he had promised to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons.
Nanso na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Dawid ahenni nnidiso no, efisɛ na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefo bɛkɔ so adi hene afebɔɔ.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
Yehoram bere so na Edomfo sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wosii wɔn ankasa wɔn hene.
9 And Jehoram went over with his captains, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots.
Enti Yehoram de asraafo ne ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa kɔtow hyɛɛ Edom so. Edomfo twaa ɔno ne ne nteaseɛnamkafo no ho hyiae, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum mu guanee.
10 But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah the God of his fathers.
Edom ade ne ho a ɔnhyɛ Yuda ase de besi nnɛ. Saa bere koro no ara mu, Libna kurow tew atua, efisɛ na Yehoram atwe ne ho afi Awurade, nʼagyanom Nyankopɔn ho.
11 Moreover he made high places on the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah [thereto].
Na wasisi abosonsomfo nsɔree so wɔ Yuda mmepɔw asase so, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda akɔsom abosonsomfo anyame.
12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Na odiyifo Elia kyerɛw saa krataa yi kɔmaa Yehoram: “Asɛm a Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Nyankopɔn se ni: ‘Woanni wʼagya Yehosafat anaa wo nena Yudahene Asa nhwɛsopa so.
13 but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, like the fornications of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren, thy father's house who were better than thyself:
Mmom, woayɛ omumɔyɛfo sɛ Israel ahemfo. Woama Yerusalemfo ne Yudafo akɔsom ahoni te sɛnea ɔhene Ahab yɛɛ wɔ Israel no. Na mpo, woakunkum wʼankasa wo nuanom mmarima a na wodi mu sen wo.
14 behold, Jehovah will smite with a great stroke thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance,
Enti afei, Awurade de ɔhaw kɛse bɛba wo, wo nkurɔfo, wo mma, wo yerenom ne biribiara a ɛyɛ wo dea so.
15 and thyself with sore sicknesses, with a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
Wʼankasa de, wɔde nsono mu yare a ɛyɛ yaw yiye bɛto wo so akosi sɛ wʼayamude betu apue.’”
16 And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] near the Ethiopians;
Na Awurade kaa Filistifo ne Arabfo a na wɔte bɛn Etiopiafo so sɛ wɔnkɔtow nhyɛ Yehoram so.
17 and they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was no son left him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
Wɔbɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yuda so kotuaa wɔn ano, fow aboɔden nneɛma a ɛwɔ ahemfi hɔ a ne mmabarima ne ne yerenom ka ho. Ne babarima kumaa Yehoahas nko na wogyaw no.
18 And after all this, Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.
Eyi akyi na Awurade maa nsono mu yare a ano yɛ den bɔɔ Yehoram.
19 And it came to pass, from day to day, and at the time when the second year was drawing to a close, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died in cruel sufferings. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
Akyiri no, mfe abien akyi, ɔyare no maa nʼayamde puei, na owui ɔyaw mu. Ne nkurɔfo ammɔ ogyatannaa kɛse, amfa anhyɛ no anuonyam wɔ nʼayiyɛ mu sɛnea wɔyɛ maa nʼagyanom no.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being regretted. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Yehoram dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduasa abien, na odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia awotwe. Owui no, anyɛ obiara awerɛhow. Wosiee no wɔ Dawid kurom, nanso ɛnyɛ adehye asiei.
