1 Le Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me la, Abiyam zu Yuda fia.
And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat, reigned hath Abijam over Judah;
2 Eɖu fia ƒe etɔ̃ le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.
three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah 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 he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David 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 David's sake hath Jehovah his God given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,
5 elabena David ɖo to Yehowa le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me negbe nu si wòwɔ Uria, Hititɔ la ko.
in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him all days of his life — only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;
6 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ Israel kple Yuda dome enuenu le Abiyam ƒe fiaɖuɣi.
and war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 Woŋlɔ Abiyam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the matters of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam and Jeroboam;
8 Esi Abiyam ku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Asa ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
and Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead.
9 Asa zu Yuda fia le Yerusalem le Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Israel dzi ƒe ƒe blaevelia me.
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Asa over Judah,
10 Eɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ. Mamae nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.
and forty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah 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 doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father,
12 Ewu ŋutsu siwo nye gbolowɔlawo katã eye wòɖe legba siwo katã fofoa wɔ la ɖa.
and removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth aside all the idols that his fathers 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 also Maachah his mother — he turneth her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron;
14 Togbɔ be megbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi o hã la, eƒe dzi nɔ Yehowa ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah 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 bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi ɖaa le Yuda fia Asa kple Israel fia Baasa dome.
And war hath been between Asa and Baasha 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 Baasha king of Israel goeth up against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, not to permit any one going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
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 taketh all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and giveth them into the hand of his servants, and king Asa sendeth them unto Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling 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.”
'A covenant [is] between me and thee, between my father and thy father; lo, I have sent to thee a reward of silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goeth up from off 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 Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath against cities of Israel, and smiteth Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides 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 it cometh to pass at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and dwelleth 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.
And king Asa hath summoned all Judah — there is none exempt — and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and king Asa buildeth with them Geba of Benjamin, 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 matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, at 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigneth 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 Nadab son of Jeroboam hath reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigneth over Israel two years,
26 ke menye fia nyui aɖeke o. Esubɔ legba geɖewo eye wòhe Israel dukɔ la de nu vɔ̃ me abe fofoa ene.
and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made 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 conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines — and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon —
28 Ale Baasa zu Israel fia ɖe Nadab teƒe le Tirza; le Yuda fia, Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me.
yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead.

And it cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant 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 sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked to anger Jehovah, God of Israel.
31 Woŋlɔ nya bubuawo tso Baasa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋuti ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the matters of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written on 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 war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel 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.
In the third year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Baasha son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
