2 Ndipo Asa anatenga siliva ndi golide ku malo osungirako a mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndi ku nyumba yake yaufumu ndi kuzitumiza kwa Beni-Hadadi mfumu ya Aramu imene inkakhala mu Damasiko.

5 Baasa atamva izi, anasiya kumanga Rama ndipo anayimitsa ntchito yakeyo.
Bere a Israelhene Baasa tee asɛm a asi no, ogyaee Rama bammɔ ho dwumadi no.
6 Ndipo mfumu Asa anabwera ndi Ayuda onse, ndipo anachotsa miyala ndi matabwa ku Rama amene Baasa amagwiritsa ntchito. Ndi zimenezi Asa ankamangira Geba ndi Mizipa.
Enti ɔhene Asa frɛɛ ne mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa ma wɔbɛsoaa adansi abo ne nnua a na Baasa de rebɔ Rama ho ban no. Asa de saa nneɛma yi bɔɔ nkurow Geba ne Mispa ho ban.
7 Nthawi imeneyi mlosi Hanani anabwera kwa Asa mfumu ya Yuda ndipo anati kwa iye, “Chifukwa chakuti munadalira mfumu ya Aramu osati Yehova Mulungu wanu, gulu la ankhondo la mfumu ya ku Aramu lapulumuka mʼmanja mwanu.
Saa bere no mu no, ɔdehufo Hanani baa ɔhene Asa nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Esiane sɛ wode wo ho ato Aramhene so, na woagyaw Awurade wo Nyankopɔn nti, worentumi nni Aramhene asraafo no so.
8 Kodi Akusi ndi Alibiya sanali gulu lankhondo lamphamvu lokhala ndi magaleta ochuluka ndi okwera magaleta ake? Koma pamene inu munadalira Yehova, Iye anawapereka mʼdzanja lanu.
Wonkae nea ɛbaa Etiopiafo no ne Libiafo ne wɔn asraafodɔm dodow ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn apɔnkɔsotefo so no? Saa bere no, na wode wo ho to Awurade so, na ɔde wɔn nyinaa hyɛɛ wo nsa.

10 Asa anamupsera mtima mlosi uja chifukwa cha izi mwakuti anakwiya kwambiri namuyika mʼndende. Pa nthawi yomweyonso Asa anazunza mwankhanza anthu ena.
Asa bo fuw Hanani yiye sɛ wabɛka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ no, na ɔkyeree no too afiase. Saa bere no ara na Asa afi ase rehyɛ ne nkurɔfo no bi so.
11 Ntchito zina za mfumu Asa, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumapeto zalembedwa mʼbuku la mafumu a Yuda ndi Israeli.
Asa ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Yuda ne Israel ahemfo nhoma no mu.
12 Mʼchaka cha 39 cha ufumu wake, Asa anayamba kudwala nthenda ya mapazi. Ngakhale nthendayo inali yaululu kwambiri, komabe iye sanafunefune Yehova, koma anafuna thandizo kwa asingʼanga.
Nʼadedi mfe aduasa akron so no, ɔyare huhuuhu bi yɛɛ Asa nan. Ɔyare no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso a ɛreyɛ akum no mpo no, wanhwehwɛ Awurade mmoa akyi kwan, na mmom, ɔhwehwɛɛ ayaresafo mmoa.
