2 Ahemfo 20

1 Saa ɛberɛ no mu, ɔhene Hesekia yaree yarewuo, ɛnna Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔsraa no. Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ ɔhene no, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Hyɛ wo nsamanseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wobɛwu. Wo yadeɛ no rennyae.”

In tho daies Ezechie was sijk `til to the deeth; and Isaie, the prophete, sone of Amos, cam to hym, and seide to hym, The Lord God seith these thingis, Comaunde to thin hows, for thou schalt die, and thou schalt not lyue.

2 Ɛberɛ a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, ɔtwaa nʼani hwɛɛ fasuo, bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ sɛ,

Which Ezechie turnyde his face to the wal, and worschipide the Lord,

3 “Kae, Ao, Awurade, sɛdeɛ manante wʼanim nokorɛm na mede mʼakoma ayɛ deɛ ɛfata wɔ wʼanim.” Na Hesekia suu bebree.

and seide, Y biseche, Lord, haue mynde, hou Y yede bifor thee in treuthe, and in a parfit herte, and Y dide that, that was plesaunt bifor thee. Therfor Ezechie wepte bi greet wepyng.

4 Na ansa na Yesaia bɛfiri adihɔ no mfimfini no, Awurade de asɛm yi bɛsii ne so sɛ,

And bifor that Ysaie yede out half the part of the court, the word of the Lord was maad to Isaie, and seide,

5 “Sane kɔ Hesekia a ɔyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ ɔkannifoɔ no nkyɛn, na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sei na Awurade a ɔyɛ wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn seɛ: Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ no, ahunu wo nisuo no. Mɛsa wo yadeɛ, na nnansa akyi no, wobɛsɔre afiri mpa so, na woakɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu.

Turne thou ayen, and seie to Ezechie, duyk of my puple, The Lord God of Dauid, thi fadir, seith thes thingis, Y herde thi preiere, and Y siy thi teer, and, lo! Y heelide thee. In the thridde dai thou schalt stie in to the temple of the Lord,

6 Mede mfeɛ dunum bɛka wo mfeɛ ho, na mɛgye wo ne saa kuropɔn yi afiri Asiriahene nsam. Me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid enti, mɛyɛ yei, de agye mʼanimuonyam.’”

and Y schal adde fiftene yeer to thi daies; but also Y schal delyuere thee and this citee fro the hond of the kyng of Assiriens, and Y schal defende this citee for me, and for Dauid, my seruaunt.

7 Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia asomfoɔ no sɛ, “Momfa borɔdɔma nyɛ ngo, na momfa nsrasra pɔmpɔ no so.” Wɔyɛɛ saa, na Hesekia nyaa ahoɔden.

And Ysaie seide, Brynge ye to me a gobet of figis. And whanne thei hadden brouyte it, and hadde putte on `his botche, he was heelid.

8 Ansa na ɔrebɛnya ayaresa no, Hesekia bisaa Yesaia sɛ, “Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɛn na Awurade bɛyɛ, de akyerɛ sɛ ɔbɛsa me yadeɛ, na matumi akɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu nnansa so?”

Forsothe Ezechie seide to Isaie, What schal be the signe, that the Lord schal heele me, and that in the thridde dai Y schal stie in to the temple of the Lord?

9 Yesaia buaa sɛ, “Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Awurade bɛyɛ akyerɛ wo sɛ ɔbɛdi ne bɔhyɛ so. Wopɛ sɛ sunsum a ɛda sunsumma susuniwa no kɔ nʼanim anammɔntuo edu anaa ɛsane nʼakyi anammɔntuo edu?”

To whom Ysaie seide, This schal be `a signe of the Lord, that the Lord schal do the word which he spak; wolt thou, that the schadewe stie by ten lynes, ethir turne ayen bi so many degrees?

10 Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Sunsum no kɔ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara. Na mmom, ma ɛnkɔ nʼakyi.”

And Ezechie seide, It is esy that the schadewe encreesse bi ten lynes, nethir Y wole that this be doon, but that it turne ayen bacward bi ten degrees.

11 Enti, Yesaia bisaa Awurade sɛ ɔnyɛ yei, na ɔmaa sunsum no tete sane nʼakyi anammɔntuo edu wɔ Ahas sunsumma susuniwa no so.

Therfor Ysaie, the prophete, clepide inwardli the Lord, and brouyte ayen bacward bi ten degrees the schadewe bi lynes, bi whiche it hadde go doun thanne in the orologie of Achaz.

12 Yei akyi, Babiloniahene Baladan babarima Merodak-Baladan soma ma wɔkɔmaa Hesekia tirinkwa ne akyɛdeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wate sɛ yare denden bi bɔɔ Hesekia.

In that tyme Beradacbaladan, sone of Baladam, the kyng of Babiloyne, sente lettris and yiftis to Ezechie; for he hadde herd that Ezechie was sijk, and hadde couerid.

13 Hesekia gyee Babilonia ananmusifoɔ yi, kyerɛɛ wɔn biribiara a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼadekoradan mu a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhwam ne ngo a ɛyɛ hwam. Afei nso, ɔde wɔn kɔɔ nʼadekorabea, sane kyerɛɛ wɔn nʼadekoradan mu biribiara. Biribiara nni nʼahemfie hɔ anaa nʼahemman mu hɔ a Hesekia ankyerɛ wɔn.

Forsothe Ezechie was glad in the comyng of hem, and he schewide to hem the hows of spyceries, and gold, and siluer, and dyuerse pymentis, also oynementis, and the hows of hise vessels, and alle thingis whiche he myyte haue in hise tresouris; `no word was, `which Ezechie schewide not to hem in his hows, and in al his power.

14 Na odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na saa nnipa no repɛ? Na wɔfiri he na wɔbaeɛ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔfiri Babilonia akyirikyiri asase so pɛɛ.”

Sotheli Ysaie, the prophete, cam to the kyng Ezechie, and seide to hym, What seiden these men, ether fro whennus camen thei to the? To whom Ezechie seide, Thei camen to me fro a fer lond, fro Babiloyne.

15 Yesaia bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔhunuu wɔ wʼahemfie hɔ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔhunuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfie ha. Biribiara nni mʼademudeɛ mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”

And he answeride, What `sien thei in thin hows? Ezechie seide, Thei sien alle thingis, what euer thingis ben in myn hows; no thing is in my tresouris, which Y schewide not to hem.

16 Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia sɛ, “Tie saa asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn yi:

Therfor Isaie seide to Ezechie, Here thou the word of the Lord.

17 Ɛberɛ bi reba a biribiara a wowɔ no, agyapadeɛ a wʼagyanom akora no nyinaa, wɔbɛtwe akɔ Babilonia a ɛrenka hwee. Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie:

Lo! dayes comen, and alle thingis that ben in thin hows, and `whiche thingis thi fadris maden til in to this dai, schulen be takun awey into Babiloyne; `not ony thing schal dwelle, seith the Lord.

18 Wʼankasa wʼasefoɔ bi mpo, wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum. Wɔbɛyɛ apiafoɔ a wɔbɛsom wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfie.”

But also of thi sones, that schulen go out of thee, whiche thou schalt gendere, schulen be takun, and thei schulen be geldyngis in the paleis of the king of Babiloyne.

19 Na Hesekia ka kyerɛɛ Yesaia sɛ, “Saa asɛm yi a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn a woaka akyerɛ me yi yɛ asɛm papa.” Nanso, na ɔhene no redwene sɛ, “Me berɛ so deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnya asomdwoeɛ ne banbɔ.”

Ezechie seide to Isaie, The word of the Lord, `which he spak, is good; ooneli pees and treuthe be in my daies.

20 Nsɛm a ɛsisii Hesekia ahennie mu nkaeɛ no a ne tumidie ka ho, ne sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ subunu, twaa suka maa nsuo baa kuro no mu no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.

Forsothe the residue of wordis of Ezechie, and al his strengthe, and hou he made a cisterne, and a watir cundijt, and brouyte watris, `in to the citee, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Juda?

21 Ɛberɛ a Hesekia wuiɛ no, ne babarima Manase na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.

And Ezechie slepte with hise fadris, and Manasses, his sone, regnyde for hym.
