Atalia Fa Ahennwa no

Atalia kunkum adehye abusua no, nanso wɔde abofra ketewa baako sie yɛn Agya fi mfe asia. Ɔsɔfo Yehoiada ma awɛmfo no akode, ɔhyɛ abofra no ahenkyɛw, na ɔma wokum ɔhemmaa no wɔ kronkronbea no akyi. Wɔbubu Baal asɔrefi no, na abofra a wadi mfe ason tena ahengua so.

Ti 11.

Bere a Ahasia maame Atalia huu sɛ ne ba no awu no, ɔsɔre sɛ ɔbɛsɛe adehye abusua no nyinaa. Nanso ɔhene Yoram babaa Yehoseba a ɔyɛ Ahasia nuabaa no faa Ahasia ba Yoas, wiaa no fii ɔhene mma a na wɔrebekunkum wɔn no mu. Ɔde ɔno ne ne ɔhwɛfo kɔhintaw pia bi mu, baabi a Atalia ntumi nhu no, enti wɔankum no. Ɔne no hintaw tenaa yɛn Agya fi mfe asia, bere a na Atalia di ɔman no so.

Agya no Bɔ Ɔhene a Ɔfata no Ho Ban

Afe a ɛto so ason mu no, Yehoiada soma ma wɔfrɛɛ Karifo ne awɛmfo no asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔdi ɔha ɔha so no, de wɔn baa ne nkyɛn wɔ yɛn Agya fi. Ɔne wɔn yɛɛ apam, ma wɔkaa ntam wɔ yɛn Agya fi, na ɔde ɔhene ba no kyerɛɛ wɔn. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn se, “Monyɛ eyi: mo a mobɛba adwuma so Homeda no, mo mu nkyɛmu baasa mu baako bɛwɛn ahemfi no, nkyɛmu baako awɛn Sur Ɛpono no ano, na nkyɛmu baako awɛn ɛpono a ɛwɔ awɛmfo no akyi no; monsesa mo ho nwɛn ahemfi no. Mo akuw abien a aka a mufi adwuma so Homeda no nso nwɛn yɛn Agya fi mma ɔhene no. Montwa ɔhene no ho ahyia, obiara mfa nʼakode nkura ne nsam; obiara a ɔbɛbɛn akuw no, monkum no. Mo ne ɔhene no ntena baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ.”

Asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔdi ɔha ɔha so no yɛɛ biribiara a ɔsɔfo Yehoiada hyɛɛ wɔn no. Wɔn mu biara faa ne mmarima—wɔn a wɔreba adwuma so Homeda no ne wɔn a wofi so no—na wɔbaa ɔsɔfo Yehoiada nkyɛn. Ɔsɔfo no de ɔhene Dawid mpeaw ne nkatabo a na ɛwɔ yɛn Agya fi no maa asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔdi ɔha ɔha so no. Awɛmfo no gyinagyinaa ɔhene no ho hyiaa no, obiara kura nʼakode wɔ ne nsam, efi asɔredan no anafo fam kosi atifi fam, afɔremuka no ne asɔredan no nkyɛn. Yehoiada de ɔhene ba no baa abɔnten, de ahenkyɛw no hyɛɛ no, na ɔde adansedi nhoma no maa no. Wɔbɔɔ no dawuru sɛ ɔhene, sraa no ngo, na nnipa no bɔɔ wɔn nsam teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔhene nkɔ so ntena ase!”

Bere a Atalia tee awɛmfo no ne nnipa no dede no, ɔkɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn wɔ yɛn Agya fi. Ɔhwɛe no, na ɔhene no gyina adum no ho sɛnea amanne te, na mpanyimfo ne ntorobɛnhyɛnfo no gyinagyina ne nkyɛn, na ɔman no mu nnipa nyinaa redi ahurusi rehyɛn ntorobɛnto. Atalia sunsuan nʼataade teɛɛ mu se, “Atuatew! Atuatew!”

Ɔsɔfo Yehoiada hyɛɛ asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔdi ɔha ɔha so na wɔhwɛ asraafo no so no se, “Momfa no mfa akuw no mu mfi adi; obiara a odi nʼakyi no, momfa afoa nkum no.” Na ɔsɔfo no aka sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ wokum no wɔ yɛn Agya fi. Enti wɔkyeree no, na ɔfaa apɔnkɔ kwan ano kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ, na ɛhɔ na wokum no.

Afei Yehoiada yɛɛ apam wɔ yɛn Agya ne ɔhene no ne nnipa no ntam sɛ wɔbɛyɛ yɛn Agya nkurɔfo; ɔsan yɛɛ apam wɔ ɔhene no ne nnipa no ntam. Ɔman no mu nnipa nyinaa kɔɔ Baal abosonnan no mu kɔbubuu no. Wɔbubuu nʼafɔremuka ne nʼahoni mu, na wokum Baal sɔfo Matan wɔ afɔremuka no anim. Afei ɔsɔfo no de awɛmfo sisii yɛn Agya fi hɔ. Ɔfaa asraafo mpanyimfo a wɔdi ɔha ɔha so no, Karifo no, awɛmfo no ne ɔman no mu nnipa nyinaa, na wɔde ɔhene no fii yɛn Agya fi siane faa awɛmfo pon no mu kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ, na ɛhɔ na ɔtenaa ahene ahennwa no so. Ɔman no mu nnipa nyinaa dii ahurusi, na kurow no mu yɛɛ dinn, efisɛ wɔde afoa akum Atalia wɔ ɔhene ahemfi hɔ.

Bere a Yoas bɛyɛɛ ɔhene no, na wadi mfe ason.
