2 Chronicles 26
1 And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.
Yuda manfoɔ de Amasia babarima Usia a na wadi mfeɛ dunsia tenaa ahennwa so sɛ wɔn ɔhene foforɔ.
2 He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Usia agya wuo akyi no, ɔsane kyekyeree Elot kuro no, na ɔdane maa Yuda.
3 Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Usia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dunsia, na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum mmienu. Ne maame a ɔfiri Yerusalem no din de Yeholia.
4 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.
Na ɔtene wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Amasia teɛ no.
5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.
Sakaria berɛ so no, Usia hwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn akyiri ɛkwan, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkaa Onyankopɔn suro ho nsɛm kyerɛɛ no. Na ɛsiane sɛ ɔhene no hwehwɛɛ Awurade akyiri kwan no enti, Onyankopɔn maa no nkɔsoɔ.
6 Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.
Ɔtuu Filistifoɔ so sa, na ɔbubuu Gat, Yabne ne Asdod afasuo. Na ɔkyekyeree nkuro afoforɔ wɔ Asdod fam ne mmeammea bi a ɛwɔ Filistia.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
Ɛnyɛ ɔko a ɔne Filistifoɔ koeɛ no mu nko ara na Onyankopɔn boaa no, na mmom ɔko a ɔne Arabfoɔ a wɔwɔ Gur Baal koeɛ ne Meunifoɔ ko mu nso, ɔboaa no.
8 And the ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.
Meunifoɔ no tuaa apeatoɔ maa no, na ne din hyeta kɔduruu Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ tumi a ɛso.
9 And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.
Usia sisii ɔwɛn abantenten wɔ Yerusalem wɔ Twɛtwɛwa Ɛpono ano, Bɔnhwa Ɛpono ano ne ɔfasuo no ntwea mu no so.
10 And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.
Ɔsane sisii abankɛseɛ wɔ ɛserɛ so, tutuu nsubura bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔyɛn mmoa pii wɔ Yuda bepɔ ase hɔ. Na ɔyɛ ɔbarima a nʼani gye kua ho. Na ɔwɔ adwumayɛfoɔ bebree a wɔhwɛ ne mfuo ne ne bobefuo a ɛwɔ mmepɔ no nsianeɛ mu ne bɔnhwa nsase bereɛ no so.
11 And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, and under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king’s captains.
Na Usia wɔ asraafoɔ a wɔyɛ akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔwɔ akodie mu nteteeɛ. Na wɔyɛ akuakuo a wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko. Na Yeiel a ɔyɛ akodɔm no twerɛfoɔ ne ne ɔboafoɔ Maaseia na wɔboaboa akofoɔ kɛseɛ yi ano. Na wɔhyɛ Hanania a ɔyɛ ɔhene no mpanimfoɔ no mu baako ase.
12 And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.
Mmusua ntuanofoɔ mpenu ahansia na na wɔma saa akofoɔ abenfoɔ yi akwankyerɛ.
13 And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.
Na akodɔm no dodoɔ yɛ ɔpehasa ne nson ne ahanum a wɔn nyinaa nim de. Na wɔada wɔn ho so sɛ wɔbɛboa ɔhene no ako atia ɔtamfoɔ biara.
14 And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
Usia maa akodɔm no nyinaa akokyɛm, mpea, nnadeɛ kyɛ, nkataboɔ, bɛmma ne ahwimmoɔ aboɔ.
15 And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.
Afei, abenfoɔ bi yɛɛ mfidie de sisii Yerusalem afasuo no so a ɛto agyan ne aboɔ firi abantenten no so ne ɔfasuo twɛtwɛwa so. Nʼanimuonyam hyetaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade boaa no yie kɔsii sɛ ɔnyaa tumi kɛseɛ.
16 But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
Nanso, ɔnyaa tumi kɛseɛ no, ɔyɛɛ ahantan a ɛnam so maa ɔhwee ase. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade ne Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ ɔkɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan kronkronbea hɔ, kɔhyee nnuhwam wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
17 And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
Ɔsɔfopanin Asaria ne Awurade asɔfoɔ foforɔ aduɔwɔtwe, akokoɔdurufoɔ kɔhwehwɛɛ no.
18 Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.
Wɔka sii ɔhene Usia anim sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ wo Usia na ɛsɛ sɛ wohye nnuhwam ma Awurade. Ɛyɛ asɔfoɔ nko ara, Aaron mmammarima a, wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ ama saa dwumadie no nko ara adwuma. Firi kronkronbea ha kɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, woayɛ bɔne. Onyankopɔn renhyɛ wo animuonyam wɔ yei ho.”
19 And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.
Usia bo fuu yie, na wamfa nnuhwamhyeɛ kuruwa a na ɛkura no no ansi fam. Ɔne asɔfoɔ no gyina nnuhwam afɔrebukyia no anim wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu no, prɛko pɛ, kwata totɔɔ ne moma so.
20 And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
Ɛberɛ a Asaria ne asɔfoɔ a aka no hunuu kwata no, wɔpiapiaa no firii hɔ. Na ɔhene no ankasa pɛɛ sɛ ɔfiri hɔ ntɛm, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade na wabɔ no.
21 And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king’s house, and judged the people of the land.
Enti, kwata yɛɛ ɔhene Usia kɔsii sɛ ɔwuiɛ. Wɔpamoo no firii nnipa mu maa ɔno nko ara tenaeɛ a wankɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu. Wɔde ne babarima Yotam tenaa ahemfie hɔ ma ɔdii nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so so.
22 But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
Amos babarima Yesaia atwerɛ Usia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ firi ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ ato hɔ.
23 And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Usia wuiɛ, na ɛsiane sɛ kwata yɛɛ no enti, wɔsiee no bɛn ahemfo amusieeɛ. Na ne babarima Yotam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
