7 Manase faa Asera dua a wayɛ no, de kɔsii asɔredan mu, beaeɛ korɔ no ara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo sɛ, “Wɔbɛhyɛ me din animuonyam wɔ ha daa nyinaa wɔ saa asɔredan yi mu wɔ Yerusalem. Yerusalem yɛ kuro a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo a aka no nyinaa mu.
8 Na sɛ Israelfoɔ bɛtie mʼahyɛdeɛ a menam mʼakoa Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn no a, merentwa wɔn asuo mfiri asase yi a mede maa wɔn agyanom no so.”

15 Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔayɛ bɔne kɛseɛ wɔ mʼanim, nam so ahyɛ me abufuo, firi ɛberɛ a wɔn agyanom firii Misraim no.”
16 Manase kunkumm nnipa a wɔnyɛɛ bɔne nso bebree kɔsii sɛ, mogya a ɛdi bem hyɛɛ Yerusalem ma, firi tire kɔsi tire. Yei ka bɔne a ɔmaa Yudafoɔ no yɛ de wɔn kɔɔ bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no Awurade ani so no ho.
