1 Le Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me la, Abiyam zu Yuda fia.

And in the eighteenth yeere of King Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, reigned Abiiam ouer Iudah.

2 Eɖu fia ƒe etɔ̃ le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.

Three yeere reigned hee in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

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 hee walked in all the sinnes of his father, which hee had done before him: and his heart was not perfit with the Lord his God as the heart of Dauid his father.

4 Togbɔ be Abiyam wɔ nu vɔ̃ hã la, le Fia David ta la, Yehowa mena David ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe fiaɖuɖu nu tso o

But for Dauids sake did the Lord his God giue him a light in Ierusalem, and set vp his sonne after him, and established Ierusalem,

5 elabena David ɖo to Yehowa le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me negbe nu si wòwɔ Uria, Hititɔ la ko.

Because Dauid did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commanded him, all the dayes of his life, saue onely in the matter of Vriah the Hittite.

6 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ Israel kple Yuda dome enuenu le Abiyam ƒe fiaɖuɣi.

And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam as long as he liued.

7 Woŋlɔ Abiyam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.

The rest also of the actes of Abiiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? there was also warre betweene Abiiam, and Ieroboam.

8 Esi Abiyam ku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Asa ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.

And Abiiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade.

9 Asa zu Yuda fia le Yerusalem le Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Israel dzi ƒe ƒe blaevelia me.

And in the twentie yeere of Ieroboam King of Israel reigned Asa ouer Iudah.

10 Eɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ. Mamae nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.

He reigned in Ierusalem one and fourtie yeere, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa ɖɔ ŋu ɖo hewɔ nu si dza le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume abe ale si tɔgbuia Fia David wɔ ene.

And Asa did right in the eyes of the Lord, as did Dauid his father.

12 Ewu ŋutsu siwo nye gbolowɔlawo katã eye wòɖe legba siwo katã fofoa wɔ la ɖa.

And he tooke away the Sodomites out of the lande, and put away all the idoles that his fathers had made.

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 put downe Maachah his mother also from her estate, because shee had made an idole in a groue: and Asa destroyed her idoles, and burnt them by the brooke Kidron.

14 Togbɔ be megbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi o hã la, eƒe dzi nɔ Yehowa ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.

But they put not downe the hie places. Neuertheles Asas heart was vpright with the Lord all his dayes.

15 Egbugbɔ klosalo kple sika kple ŋudɔwɔnu siwo ŋu eya kple fofoa kɔ la va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.

Also he brought in the holy vessels of his father, and the things that he had dedicated vnto ye house of the Lord, siluer, and golde, and vessels.

16 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi ɖaa le Yuda fia Asa kple Israel fia Baasa dome.

And there was warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel all their dayes.

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.

Then Baasha king of Israel went vp against Iudah, and buylt Ramah, so that he woulde let none go out or in to Asa King of Iudah.

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,

Then Asa tooke all the siluer and the gold that was left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the kings house, and deliuered them into the handes of his seruantes, and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the sonne of Tabrimon, the sonne of Hezion king of Aram that dwelt at 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.”

There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent vnto thee a present of siluer and golde: come, breake thy couenant with Baasha King of Israel, that he may depart 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.

So Ben-hadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the hosts, which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote lion, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Esi Baasa se be woho aʋa ɖe yeƒe duwo ŋu la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu eye wòtrɔ yi Tirza.

And when Baasha heard thereof, hee left buylding of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

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.

Then king Asa assembled al Iudah, none excepted. and they tooke the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had buylt, and King Asa built with them Geba of Beniamin and Mizpah.

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 all the actes of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he buylt, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? but in his olde age he was diseased in his feete.

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 citie of Dauid his father. And Iehoshaphat his sonne reigned in his steade.

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 Nadab the sonne of Ieroboam began to reigne ouer Israel the second yere of Asa King of Iudah, and reigned ouer Israel two yeere.

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 euill in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of his father, and in his sinne wherewith he made Israel to sinne.

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 when he was King, he smote all the house of Ieroboam, he left none aliue to Ieroboam, vntill hee had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which he spake by his seruant Ahijah the Shilonite,

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.

Because of the sinnes of Ieroboam which he committed, and wherewith he made Israel to sinne, by his prouocation, wherewith he prouoked the Lord God of Israel.

31 Woŋlɔ nya bubuawo tso Baasa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋuti ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.

And the residue of the actes of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke 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 warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel, all their dayes.

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.

In the thirde yeere of Asa King of Iudah, began Baasha the sonne of Ahijah to reigne ouer all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned foure and twentie yeeres.
