1 Yei akyi no, Moabfoɔ, Amonfoɔ ne Maonfoɔ asraafoɔ bi tuu Yehosafat so sa. 2 Abɔfoɔ bɛka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Akodɔm bebree firi Nkyene Po no akyi wɔ Edom rebɛko atia wo. Wɔaduru Hasason-Tamar” (En-Gedi din baako ne no). 3 Yehosafat tee saa asɛm yi, ne ho yeraa no enti, ɔbisaa Awurade akwankyerɛ. Ɔhyɛɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ Yuda no nni abuada. 4 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nkuro nyinaa so baa Yerusalem, bɛhwehwɛɛ Awurade.
5 Na Yehosafat sɔre gyinaa Yudafoɔ ne Yerusalemfoɔ anim wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adihɔ foforɔ hɔ. 6 Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ,
“Ao Awurade, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn, wo nko ne Onyankopɔn a wote soro. Wo na wodi ahennie a ɛwɔ asase nyinaa so. Woyɛ otumfoɔ ne ɔkɛseɛ a obiara ntumi ne wo nni asie. 7 Ao yɛn Onyankopɔn, ɛberɛ a wo nkurɔfoɔ bɛduruiɛ no, woampam wɔn a na wɔte asase yi so no anaa? Na woamfa saa asase yi amma wʼadamfo Abraham asefoɔ afebɔɔ anaa? 8 Wo nkurɔfoɔ tenaa ha sii saa Asɔredan yi maa wo. 9 Wɔkaa sɛ, ‘Sɛ ɔhaw bi te sɛ ɔko, yadeɛ anaa ɛkɔm bi to yɛn a, yɛbɛtumi aba wʼanim wɔ saa Asɔredan yi mu, baabi a wɔahyɛ wo din animuonyam no. Yɛbɛtumi asu afrɛ wo sɛ, gye yɛn nkwa, na wobɛtie yɛn, agye yɛn.’
10 “Na afei, hwɛ deɛ Amonfoɔ, Moabfoɔ ne Seir akodɔm reyɛ. Woamma yɛn agyanom anni saa aman no so nkonim wɔ ɛberɛ a Israel firii Misraim no, na mmom, wɔfaa wɔn ho a wɔansɛe wɔn. 11 Afei, hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔretua yɛn so ka. Wɔaba sɛ, wɔrebɛtu yɛn afiri wʼasase a wode maa yɛn sɛ agyapadeɛ no so. 12 Ao yɛn Onyankopɔn, worensi wɔn ano? Yɛnni ahoɔden sɛ akodɔm kɛseɛ yi a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔbɛto hyɛ yɛn so yi. Yɛnhunu deɛ yɛnyɛ, na yɛhwɛ ɛkwan sɛ wobɛboa yɛn.”
13 Ɛberɛ a Yuda mmarima nyinaa ne wɔn nkɔkoaa, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma gyina Awurade anim no,
14 Awurade Honhom baa mmarima a wɔgyinagyina hɔ no mu baako so. Na ne din de Yahasiel a ɔyɛ Sakaria babarima a ɔno nso yɛ Benaia babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Yeiel babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Lewini Matania, a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni no babarima.
15 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔhene Yehosafat, tie! Mo Yudafoɔ ne Yerusalemfoɔ nyinaa, montie! Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Monnsuro. Mommma akodɔm kɛseɛ nntu mo akoma, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔko no nnyɛ mo dea, na ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn dea. 16 Ɔkyena, montu ntene nkɔ wɔn so. Mobɛhunu sɛ wɔfiri Sis aforoeɛ a ɛwɔ bɔnhwa no fa a ɛpue Yeruel ɛserɛ no so hɔ reba. 17 Na ɛho nhia mpo sɛ mobɛko. Monnyinagyina mo afa, monyɛ dinn na monhwɛ Awurade nkonimdie. Ɔka mo ho, Yuda ne Yerusalem manfoɔ. Monnsuro, na mommma mo akoma nntu. Ɔkyena, monkɔ hɔ, na Awurade ka mo ho.”
18 Na ɔhene Yehosafat sii ne tiri ase, na Yuda ne Yerusalem manfoɔ no nyinaa nso yɛɛ saa, de somm Awurade. 19 Na Lewifoɔ a wɔfiri Kohat ne Kora mmusua mu sɔre gyinaeɛ teaam denden sɔree Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn.
20 Adeɛ kyee nʼanɔpahema no, Yuda akodɔm no kɔɔ Tekoa ɛserɛ so. Ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ no, Yehosafat gyina kaa sɛ, “Montie me, mo Yudafoɔ ne Yerusalemfoɔ nyinaa. Monnye Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nni na mobɛtumi agyina pintinn. Monnye nʼadiyifoɔ no nni, na mobɛdi nkonim.” 21 Ɔhene no ne nnipa no ntuanofoɔ dii nkutaho wieeɛ no, ɔyii nnwomtofoɔ bi sɛ wɔnni akodɔm no anim, nto dwom mma Awurade, nkamfo no wɔ nʼanimuonyam kronkron no enti. Ɛdwom no mu nsɛm nie:
“Monna Awurade ase

22 Ɛberɛ a wɔpagyaa ayɛyi dwom no, Awurade maa Amon, Moab ne bepɔ Seir asraafoɔ no twaa wɔn ho koeɛ. 23 Moab ne Amon asraafoɔ no danee wɔn ani kyerɛɛ wɔn adɔmfoɔ a wɔfiri bepɔ Seir so no, kunkumm wɔn nyinaa. Wɔwiee Seir asraafoɔ no, wɔtwaa wɔn ho koeɛ.
24 Na Yuda akodɔm no duruu baabi a wɔgyina a wɔhunu ɛserɛ no so no, wɔhunuu sɛ afunu gugu fam kɔ akyiri. Atamfoɔ no mu baako mpo antumi annwane. 25 Ɔhene Yehosafat ne nʼakodɔm kɔtasee asadeɛ. Wɔnyaa adwumayɛ nneɛma, ntadeɛ ne nneɛma a ɛsom bo a wɔntumi nsoa. Na asadeɛ no dɔɔso enti wɔde nnansa na ɛtasee ne nyinaa. 26 Nnanan so no, wɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Nhyira Bɔnhwa mu. Wɔtoo bɔnhwa no din saa da no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na nnipa no kamfoo Awurade, daa no ase. Wɔda so frɛ no Nhyira Bɔnhwa ɛnnɛ yi.
27 Afei, Yehosafat dii wɔn anim ne wɔn sane kɔɔ Yerusalem anigyeɛ so sɛ, Awurade ama wɔadi wɔn atamfoɔ so nkonim. 28 Wɔbɔɔ mmɛnta, asankuten ne ntotorobɛnto tuu nten kɔhyɛnee Yerusalem na wɔkɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu.
29 Ɛberɛ a ahennie a atwa hɔ ahyia no tee sɛ Awurade no ankasa ako atia Israel atamfoɔ no, Awurade ho suro baa wɔn so. 30 Na ɛmaa asomdwoeɛ baa Yehosafat ahennie mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ne Onyankopɔn maa no ahomegyeɛ wɔ afanan nyinaa.
Yehosafat Ahennie Tiawatwa
