8 N’ahennie afe a ɛtɔ so 18 mu no, na wate asaase no ne asɔrefie* no ho awie, na ɔsomaa Asalia ba Safan,+ amrado Maaseia, ne ɔhene krakye Yoahas ba Yoa sɛ wɔnkɔsiesie ne Nyankopɔn Yehowa fie hɔ.+ 9 Wɔbaa ɔsɔfo panin Hilkia nkyɛn, na sika a wɔde aba Onyankopɔn fie hɔ a na Lewifoɔ a wɔyɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no aboaboa ano no, wɔde ne nyinaa kɔmaa no. Wɔnya firii Manase, Efraim, ne Israelfoɔ a aka nyinaa,+ ne Yuda, Benyamin, ne Yerusalemfoɔ hɔ. 10 Ɛnna wɔde hyɛɛ wɔn a wɔdeda adwuma no ano wɔ Yehowa fie hɔ no nsa, na adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yehowa fie hɔ no nso de siesiee efie no miamiaa mu. 11 Wɔde maa adwumfoɔ ne adansifoɔ sɛ wɔmfa ntɔ aboɔ a wɔapae ne nnua a wɔde bɛsosɔ dan no mu, na wɔmfa ntaaboɔ nsisi adan a Yuda ahemfo ahwɛ ama no asɛe no.+

14 Berɛ a wɔreyi sika a wɔde aba Yehowa fie hɔ+ no, ɔsɔfoɔ Hilkia huu Yehowa Mmara nwoma+ a ɔnam Mose so* de maeɛ no.+ 15 Enti Hilkia ka kyerɛɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ Safan sɛ: “Mmara nwoma no, makɔhu no Yehowa fie hɔ.” Ɛnna Hilkia de nwoma no maa Safan. 16 Na Safan de nwoma no baa ɔhene anim, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Deɛ wode ahyɛ wo nkoa nsa nyinaa, wɔreyɛ. 17 Sika a ɛwɔ Yehowa fie hɔ no, wɔahwie de ahyɛ wɔn a wɔdeda adwuma ano ne adwumayɛfoɔ no nsa.” 18 Afei nso, ɔtwerɛfoɔ Safan ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene sɛ: “Ɔsɔfoɔ Hilkia de nwoma bi ama me.”+ Ɛnna Safan firii aseɛ kenkan no ɔhene anim.+

19 Berɛ a ɔhene tee Mmara no mu nsɛm ara pɛ, ɔsuan n’ataadeɛ mu.+ 20 Ɛnna ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ Hilkia, Safan ba Ahikam,+ Mika ba Abdon, ɔtwerɛfoɔ Safan, ne ɔhene akoa Asaia sɛ: 21 “Nwoma a wɔahunu yi mu nsɛm nti, monkɔbisa Yehowa anom asɛm mma me ne Israelfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ a aka nyinaa, na Yehowa abufuo a ɛreba yɛn so no so, ɛfiri sɛ yɛn agyanom anni Yehowa asɛm so anyɛ deɛ wɔatwerɛ no nwoma yi mu no nyinaa.”+

22 Ɛnna Hilkia ne wɔn a ɔhene somaa wɔn no kɔɔ odiyifoɔbaa Hulda nkyɛn.+ Ná ɔyɛ ntaadeɛ sohwɛfoɔ Harhas ba Tikwa ba Salum yere.
