Nanso esiane Dawid nti, Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn maa nʼasefo kwan ma wɔkɔɔ so dii ade, na ɔmaa Abiyam ɔbabarima a obedi nʼade wɔ Yerusalem.

Na Dawid ayɛ nea eye wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii Awurade ahyɛde so ne nkwa nna nyinaa, gye Hetini Uria no ho asɛm no nko ara.
6 And war it was between Rehoboam and between Jeroboam all [the] days of life his.
Abiyam nkwa nna mu nyinaa, na akokoakoko da ɔno ne Yeroboam ntam.

Nsɛm a aka a esisii wɔ Abiyam ahenni mu ne nea ɔyɛe no, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana? Ɔko daa Abiyam ne Yeroboam ntam bere biara.
8 And he lay down Abijam with ancestors his and people buried him in [the] city of David and he became king Asa son his in place of him.
Na Abiyam wui no, wosiee no wɔ Dawid kuropɔn mu. Na ne babarima Asa dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.

Yeroboam dii hene wɔ Israel ne mfe aduonu so no, Asa bedii hene wɔ Yuda.
10 And forty and one year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Maacah [the] daughter of Abishalom.
Odii hene Yerusalem mfe aduanan baako. Na wɔfrɛ ne nenabea Maaka a na ɔyɛ Absalom babea.

13 And also - Maacah mother his and he removed her from queen-mother that she had made an abominable image to Asherah pole and he cut down Asa abominable image her and he burned [it] in [the] wadi of Kidron.
Na mpo, otuu ne nenabea Maaka fii ahemmeagua no so, efisɛ na wayɛ Asera ahoni dua a na ɛyɛ akyiwade. Asa twaa dua no na ɔhyew no wɔ Kidron bon mu.
14 And the high places not they were removed only [the] heart of Asa it was complete with Yahweh all days his.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔantutu abosonsom nsɔre so no nyinaa amfi Israel de, nanso Asa kɔɔ so de ne koma hyɛɛ Awurade mu nʼasetena nyinaa mu.
15 And he brought [the] holy things of father his (and [the] holy things *Q(K)*) [the] house of Yahweh silver and gold and utensils.
Ɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne nneɛma a ɔno ne nʼagya too din de maa Awurade Asɔredan no bae.
16 And war it was between Asa and between Baasha [the] king of Israel all days their.
Na akokoakoko wɔ Yudahene Asa ne Israelhene Baasa ntam.
17 And he came up Baasha [the] king of Israel on Judah and he built Ramah to not [surely] permitting [any] escaping and coming to Asa [the] king of Judah.
Israelhene Baasa kɔko tiaa Yuda, na ɔmaa Rama bammɔ sɛnea obi ntumi nni ahyɛmfiri wɔ Yudahene Asa asase so.

Asa tasee dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ no a ɛkaa wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no adekoradan mu ne nea na ɛwɔ ahemfi no adekoradan no mu. Ɔde hyɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu bi nsa, na ɔsomaa wɔn ma wɔkɔɔ Hesion babarima Tabrimon babarima Siriahene Ben-Hadad a na odi hene wɔ Damasko no nkyɛn, na ɔde saa nsɛm yi kaa ho:
19 A covenant [be] between me and between you between father my and between father your here! I send to you a gift silver and gold come break! covenant your with Baasha [the] king of Israel so he may go up from on me.
“Ma yɛnyɛ apam a na ɛda wʼagya ne mʼagya ntam no foforo. Tie, mede akyɛde a ɛyɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ resoma de abrɛ wo. Twa wo ne Israelhene Baasa apam no mu, sɛnea ɔremfa ne nsa nka me.”
20 And he listened Ben Hadad to the king Asa and he sent [the] commanders of the armies which [belonged] to him on [the] cities of Israel and he struck Ijon and Dan and Abel Beth Maacah and all Kinnereth with all [the] land of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadad penee ɔhene Asa abisade no so, na ɔsomaa nʼakofo, ma wɔkɔtow hyɛɛ Israel so. Wodii nkurow Iyon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Maaka ne Kineret a Naftali nsase nyinaa ka ho no so.
21 And it was when heard Baasha and he ceased from building Ramah and he remained in Tirzah.
Na Israelhene Baasa tee asɛm a asi no, ogyaee nʼadwuma a na ɔreyɛ de abɔ Rama ho ban no, kɔɔ Tirsa kɔtenaa hɔ.
22 And the king Asa he made proclamation to all Judah there not [was] an exempt [person] and they carried off [the] stones of Ramah and wood its which he had built Baasha and he built with them the king Asa Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.
Afei, ɔhene Asa soma kɔɔ Yuda mmaa nyinaa, kɔkaa se ɔhwehwɛ sɛ obiara bɛboa asoa adansi abo ne nnua a na Baasa de reyɛ bammɔdwuma wɔ Rama no afi hɔ. Asa de saa bammɔ nneɛma no kyekyeree kurow Geba a ɛwɔ Benyamin ne Mispa nso.

Bere a Asa wui no, wosiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kuropɔn mu. Na ne babarima Yehosafat bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
25 And Nadab [the] son of Jeroboam he became king over Israel in year two of Asa [the] king of Judah and he reigned over Israel two years.
Yeroboam babarima Nadab fii ase dii ade wɔ Israel bere a na ɔhene Asa adi ade wɔ Yuda mfe abien mu. Odii ade wɔ Israel mfe abien.
26 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in [the] way of father his and in sin his which he caused to sin Israel.
Na ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii nʼagya anammɔn akyi, toaa so yɛɛ bɔne, som abosom sɛnea na Yeroboam adi Israel anim ama wɔayɛ no.
27 And he conspired on him Baasha [the] son of Ahijah of [the] house of Issachar and he struck down him Baasha at Gibbethon which [belonged] to the Philistines and Nadab and all Israel [were] laying siege on Gibbethon.
Na Ahiya babarima Baasa a ofi Isakar abusuakuw mu no pam Nadab ti so, kum no bere a na ɔne Israel asraafo akyere nsraban, retua Filistifo kurow Gibeton ano no.
28 And he killed him Baasha in year three of Asa [the] king of Judah and he became king in place of him.
Baasa kum Nadab wɔ ɔhene Asa adedi wɔ Yuda mfe abiɛsa mu no so, na ɔbɛyɛɛ Israelhene a odi hɔ.
29 And it was when became king he he struck down all [the] house of Jeroboam not he left any breathing thing of Jeroboam until he had destroyed it according to [the] word of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of servant his Ahijah Shilonite.
Ntɛm ara, okunkum ɔhene Yeroboam asefo nyinaa a adehye abusua no mu baako koraa anka, sɛnea Awurade nam odiyifo Ahiya a ofi Silo ahyɛ bɔ afa Yeroboam ho no.

Saa asɛm yi sii, efisɛ Yeroboam di a odii Israel anim ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne no hyɛɛ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn abufuw.

Nadab ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
32 And war it was between Asa and between Baasha [the] king of Israel all days their.
Na akokoakoko wɔ Asa ne Israelhene Baasa ntam.

Ahiya ba Baasa fii ase dii Israel so wɔ ɔhene Asa adedi wɔ Yuda no mfe abiɛsa mu. Baasa dii ade fii Tirsa mfe aduonu anan.
34 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in [the] way of Jeroboam and in sin his which he caused to sin Israel.
Na ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii Yeroboam anammɔn akyi, som abosom, sɛnea Yeroboam dii Israel anim yɛe no.
