13 ¹Bere a Yeroboam gyina afɔremuka no ho rehyew aduhuam no, yɛn Agya nipa bi fii Yuda baa Betel, ɛnam yɛn Agya asɛm so.

²Ɔnam yɛn Agya asɛm so teɛɛm tiaa afɔremuka no se, “Afɔremuka, afɔremuka, yɛn Agya se: Wɔbɛwo ɔbabarima bi wɔ Dawid fi, ne din de Yosia. Ɔbɛbɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea asɔfo a wɔhyew aduhuam wɔ wo so no afɔre wɔ wo so, na wɔbɛhyew nnipa nnompe wɔ wo so.”

³Da no ara ɔde nsɛnkyerɛnne bi mae se, “Nsɛnkyerɛnne a yɛn Agya aka ni: Afɔremuka no bɛpaapae, na nsõ a ɛwɔ so no bɛhwie agu.”

⁴Bere a ɔhene Yeroboam tee sɛ yɛn Agya nipa no reteam atia afɔremuka a ɛwɔ Betel no, ɔtenee ne nsa fii afɔremuka no ho kae se, “Monkyere no!” Nanso ne nsa a ɔteɛ tiaa no no wosee, na wantumi antwe amma ne ho bio. ⁵Afɔremuka no paapaee, na ne nsõ hwie guu, sɛnea yɛn Agya nipa no de nsɛnkyerɛnne no mae ɛnam yɛn Agya asɛm so no. ⁶Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya nipa no se, “Srɛ wo Nyankopɔn adom; bɔ mpae ma me, na me nsa nsan nyɛ yie.” Ɔsrɛɛ yɛn Agya, na ɔhene no nsa sanee yɛɛ sɛ kan no.

⁷Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya nipa no se, “Bra fie, bɛdidi ka me ho, na mede akyɛde bi bɛma wo.”

⁸Yɛn Agya nipa no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Sɛ wode wo fi fa ma me mpo a, merenka wo ho nkɔ, na merenni aduan, na merennom nsu wɔ ha.

⁹Saa na yɛn Agya asɛm hyɛɛ me se, ‘Nni aduan, nnom nsu, na nnsan mfa ɔkwan a wofaa so bae no so.’”

¹⁰Enti ɔfaa ɔkwan foforo so kɔe, na wamfa ɔkwan a ɔfaa so baa Betel no so ansan.

¹¹Odiyifo akwakoraa bi tenaa Betel. Ne mmabarima baa bɛkaa nneɛma a yɛn Agya nipa no yɛɛ wɔ Betel da no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Wɔsan ka nsɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no kyerɛɛ wɔn agya.

¹²Wɔn agya bisaa wɔn se, “Ɔkwan bɛn so na ɔfaa kɔe?” Ne mmabarima kyerɛɛ no ɔkwan a yɛn Agya nipa a ofi Yuda no faa so no. ¹³Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmabarima se, “Monhyɛ afurum no ate mma me.” Wɔhyɛɛ afurum no ate maa no, na ɔtenaa so. ¹⁴Ɔdii yɛn Agya nipa no akyi, kohuu no sɛ ɔte odum bi ase, na obisaa no se, “Wone yɛn Agya nipa a ofi Yuda bae no?” Ɔkae se, “Mene no.”

¹⁵Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka me ho bra fie na bedi aduan kakra.”

¹⁶Nanso ɔkae se, “Merentumi ne wo nsan nkɔ, na merentumi ne wo nkɔ wo fie, na merenka wo ho nni aduan anaa nnom nsu wɔ ha. ¹⁷Efisɛ yɛn Agya nam nʼasɛm so ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Nni aduan, nnom nsu wɔ hɔ, na nnsan mfa ɔkwan a wofaa so kɔe no so.’”

¹⁸Ɔkae se, “Me nso meyɛ odiyifo te sɛ wo; ɔbɔfo bi nam Onyankopɔn asɛm so ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘San fa no bra wo fie na ommedi aduan na ɔnnom nsu.’” Nanso ɔtwaa nkontompo kyerɛɛ no.

¹⁹Enti yɛn Agya nipa no ne no sane kɔe, kodii aduan wɔ ne fie, na ɔnomee nsu. ²⁰Bere a wɔte didipon ho no, yɛn Agya asɛm baa odiyifo a ɔde no sanee bae no nkyɛn.

²¹Ɔteɛɛm frɛɛ yɛn Agya nipa a ofi Yuda no se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Esiane sɛ woabu nʼasɛm so, na woammu ahyɛde a wʼAgya de maa wo no nti, ²²na mmom wosan baa ha bɛdii aduan, nomee nsu wɔ beae a ɔka kyerɛɛ wo se, ‘Nni aduan, nnom nsu’ no—wo funu renkɔ wʼagyanom ada mu.”

²³Bere a yɛn Agya nipa no didi nomee wiee no, odiyifo akwakoraa no hyɛɛ afurum no ate maa no, odiyifo a ɔde no sanee bae no. ²⁴Bere a ɔrekɔ ne kwan so no, gyata bi hyiaa no ɔkwan so kum no. Ne funu dedaa ɔkwan so, na afurum no gyina ho, na gyata no nso gyina funu no ho. ²⁵Nnipa a wɔretwam hɔ huu funu a wɔato agu ɔkwan so no ne gyata no sɛ ogyina ho, na wɔbaa kurow a odiyifo akwakoraa no te mu no mu bɛkaa ho asɛm. ²⁶Bere a odiyifo a ɔdan no fii ɔkwan so no tee eyi no, ɔkae se, “Ɔno ne yɛn Agya nipa a obuu yɛn Agya asɛm so no; enti ɔde no maa gyata no, na ɛbubuu no kum no, sɛnea ɔka kyerɛɛ no no.” ²⁷Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmabarima se, “Monhyɛ afurum no ate mma me.” Na wɔhyɛɛ no ate. ²⁸Ɔkɔe kohuu funu no sɛ wɔato agu ɔkwan so, na afurum no ne gyata no gyina ho; gyata no anni funu no, na ɛantete afurum no. ²⁹Odiyifo no pagyaw yɛn Agya nipa no funu no, de too afurum no so, de no sanee bae, na ɔbaa kurow no mu sɛ ɔbɛsu no na wasie no. ³⁰Ɔde funu no too ɔno ankasa ne da mu, na wosuu no se, “Due, me nua!”

³¹Ɔsiee no wiee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmabarima se, “Sɛ miwu a, monsie me wɔ da a wɔsiee yɛn Agya nipa no wɔ mu no mu; momfa me nnompe nto ne nnompe nkyɛn. ³²Asɛm a ɔnam yɛn Agya asɛm so teɛɛm tiaa afɔremuka a ɛwɔ Betel no ne sorɔnsorɔmmea abosonnan a ɛwɔ Samaria nkurow mu nyinaa no bɛba mu ampa.”

³³Eyi akyi no, Yeroboam annan amfi nʼakwan bɔne so; ɔsan yii asɔfo fii nkurɔfo no nyinaa mu maa sorɔnsorɔmmea no—obiara a ɔpɛe no, ɔhyɛɛ no asɔfo, na wɔbɛyɛɛ sorɔnsorɔmmea asɔfo. ³⁴Eyi bɛyɛɛ bɔne maa Yeroboam fi, na ɛtwaa wɔn fii hɔ, sɛee wɔn fii asase ani.
