1 Le Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me la, Abiyam zu Yuda fia.
And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.
2 Eɖu fia ƒe etɔ̃ le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.
And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.
3 Abiyam nye nu vɔ̃ wɔla gã aɖe abe fofoa ene eye eƒe dzi menɔ Yehowa, eƒe Mawu ŋu abe Fia David ene o.
And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].
4 Togbɔ be Abiyam wɔ nu vɔ̃ hã la, le Fia David ta la, Yehowa mena David ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe fiaɖuɖu nu tso o
Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.
5 elabena David ɖo to Yehowa le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me negbe nu si wòwɔ Uria, Hititɔ la ko.
Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.
6 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ Israel kple Yuda dome enuenu le Abiyam ƒe fiaɖuɣi.
7 Woŋlɔ Abiyam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.
8 Esi Abiyam ku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Asa ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.
9 Asa zu Yuda fia le Yerusalem le Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Israel dzi ƒe ƒe blaevelia me.
In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.
10 Eɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ. Mamae nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.
And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.
11 Asa ɖɔ ŋu ɖo hewɔ nu si dza le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume abe ale si tɔgbuia Fia David wɔ ene.
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
12 Ewu ŋutsu siwo nye gbolowɔlawo katã eye wòɖe legba siwo katã fofoa wɔ la ɖa.
And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.
13 Fia Asa ɖe mamaa Maaka ɖa be maganye fianyɔnu o elabena etu aƒeli si nye ŋunyɔnu. Asa lã ati la ƒu anyi, flii, hetɔ dzoe le Kidron bali la me.
And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.
14 Togbɔ be megbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi o hã la, eƒe dzi nɔ Yehowa ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.
15 Egbugbɔ klosalo kple sika kple ŋudɔwɔnu siwo ŋu eya kple fofoa kɔ la va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.
And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.
16 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi ɖaa le Yuda fia Asa kple Israel fia Baasa dome.
And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
17 Baasa, Israel fia ho aʋa ɖe Yuda ŋu. Eɖo gli sesẽ ƒo xlã Rama, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu age ɖe Yuda fia Asa ƒe nuto me alo ado tso eme o.
And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.
18 Ale Asa tsɔ klosalo kple sika siwo katã susɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒe kple nu xɔasi siwo katã nɔ fiasã la me la na eŋumewo. Ena be woatsɔ wo aɖana Siria fia Ben Hadad, si nye Hezion vi Tabrimon ƒe vi le Damasko eye woagblɔ nɛ bena,
And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying,
19 “Na míagbugbɔ míaƒe dedinɔnɔ ƒe nubabla si nɔ fofowò kple fofonye dome la awɔ yeyee. Kpɔ ɖa, xɔ klosalo kple sika sia ale be nàtu nubabla si le wò kple Israel fia, Baasa dome ale be wòadzudzɔ aʋawɔwɔ kplim.”
Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold! I have sent forth to you gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break your league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
20 Ben Hadad lɔ̃ ɖe Fia Asa ƒe nya la dzi heƒo eƒe aʋakɔ nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ƒe duwo ŋu. Egbã Iyɔn, Dan, Abel Bet Maka kple Kineret blibo la hekpe ɖe Naftalinyigba blibo la ŋu.
And the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they struck Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
21 Esi Baasa se be woho aʋa ɖe yeƒe duwo ŋu la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu eye wòtrɔ yi Tirza.
And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.
22 Fia Asa ɖe gbeƒã le Yudanyigba blibo la dzi be ŋutsu lãmesesẽtɔ ɖe sia ɖe nava na kpekpeɖeŋu yewoagbã Rama eye yewoalɔ xɔtukpewo kple xɔtutiwo katã adzoe. Fia Asa wɔ xɔtunu siawo ŋu dɔ tsɔ tu Geba du le Benyamin kple Mizpa du la.
And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
23 Woŋlɔ Asa ƒe agbemeŋutinya mamlɛa, dukɔ siwo dzi wòɖu, eƒe nuwɔwɔwo kple du siwo wòtso la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me. Dɔléle va dze eƒe afɔwo dzi le eƒe tsitsime.
And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe fiawo ɖiƒe le Yerusalem. Via Yehosafat zu Yuda fia ɖe eyome.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.
25 Le ɣeyiɣi siawo me la, Nadab, Yeroboam ƒe vi zu fia le Israel, le Yuda fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me. Eɖu fia ƒe eve,
And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.
26 ke menye fia nyui aɖeke o. Esubɔ legba geɖewo eye wòhe Israel dukɔ la de nu vɔ̃ me abe fofoa ene.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
27 Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi si tso Isaka ƒe to la me ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wòwui esime wònɔ Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la me eye wòɖe to ɖe Gibeton, si nye Filistitɔwo ƒe du.
And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and struck him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.
28 Ale Baasa zu Israel fia ɖe Nadab teƒe le Tirza; le Yuda fia, Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me.
And Baasa killed him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.

And it came to pass when he reigned, that he struck the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,
30 Esia va eme esi Yeroboam do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la to eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ kple Israelviwo kpɔkplɔ de nu vɔ̃ me la ta.
for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.
31 Woŋlɔ nya bubuawo tso Baasa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋuti ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi le Yuda fia Asa kple Israel fia Baasa dome le woƒe fiaɖuɣiwo me.
[And there was a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in all their days. ]
33 Le Asa, Yuda fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi zu Israel fia le Tirza. Eɖu fia ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ene.
And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.
34 Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, eto Yeroboam ƒe afɔtoƒe eye wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo Yeroboam na Israel wɔ le eƒe fiaɖuɣi.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
