1 Ahemfo 20 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

20 ¹Aram hene Ben-Hadad boaboaa nʼakodɔm nyinaa ano. Ahemfo aduasa abien ka ne ho, ne apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam nso. Ɔforoo kɔtwaa Samaria ho hyiae, na ɔko tiaa no. ²Ɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ Israel hene Ahab nkyɛn wɔ kuropɔn no mu se, “Sɛɛ na Ben-Hadad se: ³‘Wo dwetɛ ne wo sika kɔkɔɔ yɛ me dea, na wo yerenom ne wo mma a wɔyɛ papa sen biara no nso yɛ me dea.’”

⁴Israel hene buae se, “Sɛnea woaka no, me wura ɔhene: meyɛ wo dea, me ne nea mewɔ nyinaa.”

⁵Abɔfo no san baa bɛkae se, “Sɛɛ na Ben-Hadad se: ‘Mesomaa obi bɛka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ, fa wo dwetɛ ne wo sika kɔkɔɔ, wo yerenom ne wo mma ma me. ⁶Nanso ɔkyena saa bere yi, mɛsoma me nkoa ma wɔabɛhwehwɛ wʼahemfi ne wo nkoa afi mu, na wɔbɛfa biribiara a ɛsom bo ma wo no de akɔ.’”

⁷Israel hene frɛɛ ɔman no mpanyimfo nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ yiye nhu sɛ saa ɔbarima yi rehwehwɛ ɔhaw. Ɔsomaa sɛ mimfa me yerenom, me mma, me dwetɛ ne me sika kɔkɔɔ mma no, na mampo no.”

⁸Mpanyimfo no nyinaa ne nkurɔfo no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ntie no, na mpene so.”

⁹Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ Ben-Hadad abɔfo no se, “Monka nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene se, ‘Nea wodii kan bisaa wo akoa no nyinaa, mɛyɛ; nanso saa ade a woabisa yi de, merentumi nyɛ.’” Abɔfo no kɔe, na wɔde ne mmuae no san kɔmaa wɔn wura.

¹⁰Afei Ben-Hadad somaa nkra se, “Sɛ mfutuma a ɛbɛka Samaria no bɛdɔɔso ama me nkurɔfo no mu biara anya bi nsambɔ ma a, anyame ntwe mʼaso denneennen.”

¹¹Israel hene buae se, “Monka nkyerɛ no se: ‘Mma obi a ɔrehyɛ nʼakotade nhoahoa ne ho sɛ obi a oyi nʼakotade no.’”

¹²Bere a Ben-Hadad ne ahemfo no renom nsa wɔ wɔn ntamadan mu no, ɔtee saa asɛm yi, na ɔhyɛɛ ne mmarima se, “Monkɔgyina mo akodibea,” na wɔsiesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔbɛko atia kuropɔn no.

Agya No De Nkonim Ma Ahab

¹³Odiyifo bi baa Israel hene Ahab nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Wuhu saa akodɔm kɛse yi? Nnɛ mede no bɛhyɛ wo nsa, na wobɛhu sɛ mene wʼAgya.”

¹⁴Ahab bisae se, “Hena na ɔbɛyɛ?” Odiyifo no buae se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Amantam so atumfo no mmerante asraafo na wɔbɛyɛ.” Ahab bisae se, “Hena na ɔbɛhyɛ ɔko no ase?” Ɔbuae se, “Wo ara.”

¹⁵Enti Ahab frɛɛ amantam so atumfo no mmerante asraafo no; na wɔyɛ ahanu aduasa abien. Afei ɔfrɛɛ nkae no, Israelfo no nyinaa; wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem ason. ¹⁶Wɔpuee owigyinae, bere a Ben-Hadad ne ahemfo aduasa abien a wɔka ne ho no renom nsa aboro wɔ wɔn ntamadan mu no. ¹⁷Amantam so atumfo no mmerante asraafo no dii kan puei. Ben-Hadad somaa ahwɛfo, na wɔbɛbɔɔ no amanneɛ se, “Mmarima bi refi Samaria aba.”

¹⁸Ɔkae se, “Sɛ wɔapue asomdwoe nti a, monkyere wɔn nkwa mu; sɛ wɔapue ɔko nti a, monkyere wɔn nkwa mu.”

¹⁹Amantam so atumfo no mmerante asraafo no fii kuropɔn no mu puei, na akodɔm no di wɔn akyi. ²⁰Obiara kum ɔtamfo a ɔne no hyiae no. Aramfo no guanee, na Israel taa wɔn, nanso Aram hene Ben-Hadad tenaa ɔpɔnkɔ so ne apɔnkɔsotefo bi guanee. ²¹Israel hene kɔɔ anim, na ɔdii apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam no so, kunkum Aramfo no pii. ²²Akyiri yi odiyifo no baa Israel hene nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Hyɛ wo ho den, na dwene nea ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ ho yiye, efisɛ afe foforo mu no, Aram hene bɛba abɛko atia wo bio.”

²³Saa bere no ara mu, Aram hene mpanyimfo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wɔn anyame yɛ mmepɔ so anyame; ɛno nti na wodii yɛn so. Ko tia wɔn wɔ asase tamaa so, na yebedi wɔn so ampa. ²⁴Yɛ eyi: yi ahemfo no nyinaa fi wɔn dibea, na fa asahene foforo si wɔn anan mu. ²⁵Boaboa akodɔm ano sɛ nea wohweree no, ɔpɔnkɔ si ɔpɔnkɔ anan mu, nteaseɛnam si nteaseɛnam anan mu, na ko tia Israel wɔ tataw no so. Afei yɛbɛyɛ den asen wɔn ampa.” Ɔtiee wɔn, na ɔyɛɛ saa.

²⁶Afe a edi so no mu, Ben-Hadad boaboaa Aramfo no ano, na ɔforoo kɔɔ Afek sɛ ɔne Israel rekɔko. ²⁷Bere a wɔboaboaa Israelfo ano na wɔmaa wɔn aduan no, wofii adi kɔhyiaa wɔn. Israelfo no tenaa wɔn anim sɛ mmirekyi nkuw nketewa abien, bere a Aramfo no hyɛɛ asase no so ma.

²⁸Onyankopɔn nipa no baa Israel hene nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Esiane sɛ Aramfo no susuw sɛ Awurade yɛ nkoko so onyame, na ɔnyɛ bɔnhwa mu onyame nti, mede saa akodɔm kɛse yi nyinaa bɛhyɛ wo nsa, na wobɛhu sɛ mene wʼAgya.”

²⁹Nnanson na wɔtenaa ase hwɛɛ wɔn ho anim; da a ɛto so ason no, ɔko no fii ase. Da koro pɛ mu, Israelfo kunkum Aram nammɔfo asraafo mpem ɔha. ³⁰Nkae no guan kɔɔ Afek, na ɔfasu no bubuu guu wɔn mu mpem aduonu ason so. Ben-Hadad guan kɔɔ kuropɔn no mu kɔhintaw dan bi a ɛwɔ mu hɔ mu.

³¹Ne nkoa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛate sɛ Israel ahemfie ahemfo yɛ mmɔborɔhunufo. Ma yɛmfa awerɛhow ntade mmɔ yɛn asen, na yɛmfa ahama ngu yɛn ti so, na yɛnkɔ Israel hene nkyɛn; ebia obegyaw wo nkwa.”

³²Enti wɔde atweaatam bɔɔ wɔn asen, de ahama guu wɔn ti so, baa Israel hene nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ no se, “Wo akoa Ben-Hadad se, ‘Mesrɛ wo, ma me ntena nkwa mu.’” Ɔbuae se, “Ɔda so te ase? Ɔne me nua.”

³³Mmarima no huu no sɛ ɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne pa, enti wɔyɛɛ ntɛm sɔɔ nʼasɛm no mu. Wɔkae se, “Yiw, wo nua Ben-Hadad!” Ɔhene no kae se, “Monkɔ nkɔfa no mmra.” Enti Ben-Hadad fii adi baa, na Ahab maa ɔforoo baa nteaseɛnam no mu.

³⁴Ben-Hadad kae se, “Mɛsan de nkurow a mʼagya gye fii wʼagya nsam no ama wo, na wubetumi asi wo ankasa gua wɔ Damasko, sɛnea mʼagya yɛɛ wɔ Samaria no.” Ahab kae se, “Saa nhyehyɛe yi so na mɛgyaw wo.” Enti ɔne no yɛɛ apam, na ɔgyaa no kwan.

Odiyifo Bi Kasa Tia Ɔhene No

³⁵Yɛn Agya asɛm nti, adiyifo mma no mu baako ka kyerɛɛ ne yɔnko se, “Mesrɛ wo, bɔ me.” Nanso ɔbarima no ampene so sɛ ɔbɛbɔ no.

³⁶Odiyifo no kae se, “Esiane sɛ wontiee yɛn Agya nne nti, bere a wobɛfi me nkyɛn ara pɛ no, gyata bi bekum wo.” Bere a ɔbarima no fii hɔ no, gyata bi hyiaa no kum no.

³⁷Odiyifo no hyiaa ɔbarima foforo bi ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, bɔ me.” Enti ɔbarima no bɔɔ no pirapiraa no.

³⁸Afei odiyifo no kɔgyinaa ɔkwan ho twɛnee ɔhene no, na ɔde ntoma kyekyeree nʼani so de sesaa ne ho. ³⁹Bere a ɔhene no retwam no, odiyifo no teɛɛm se, “Wo akoa kɔɔ ɔko no mfinimfini, na ɔbarima bi twe ne ho fii hɔ de odeduani bi brɛɛ me kae se, ‘Hwɛ saa ɔbarima yi so. Sɛ ɔyera a, wo nkwa bɛsi ne nkwa anan mu, anaasɛ wubetua dwetɛ pɔn aduɔson enum.’ ⁴⁰Bere a wo akoa redi dwuma wɔ ha ne hɔ no, ɔbarima no dwanee.” Israel hene kae se, “Ɛno ne wʼatemmu; wo ara na woabu.”

⁴¹Odiyifo no yɛɛ ntɛm yii ntoma no fii nʼani so, na Israel hene huu sɛ ɔyɛ adiyifo no mu baako.

⁴²Ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Esiane sɛ woagyaw ɔbarima a mahyɛ sɛ wɔnsɛe no no nti, wo nkwa besi ne nkwa anan mu, na wo nkurɔfo asi ne nkurɔfo anan mu.”

⁴³Israel hene de werɛhow ne abufuw kɔɔ ne fi, na ɔsan kɔɔ Samaria.
