1 Abiya ku eye woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me. Via ŋutsu, Asa, zu fia ɖe eteƒe eye le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ŋkekewo me la, ŋutifafa nɔ dukɔ la me ƒe ewo sɔŋ
Forsothe Abia slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden hym in the citee of Dauid; and Asa, his sone, regnede for hym. In whos daies the lond restide ten yeer.
2 elabena Asa wɔ nu si dza le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkume.
And Asa dide that, that was good and plesaunt in the siyt of his God, and he destriede the auteris of straunge worschipyng, and `he destriede hiy places,
3 Egbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpui siwo nɔ togbɛawo dzi kple woƒe aƒeliwo, emu Aserim legbawo ƒu anyi
and brak ymagis, and kittide doun woodis;
4 eye wòɖe gbe be, dukɔ blibo la nawɔ Yehowa, wo tɔgbuiwo ƒe Mawu la ƒe sewo dzi.
and he comaundide Juda to seke the Lord God of her fadris, and to do the lawe and alle comaundementis.
5 Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, eɖe ɣelegbawo ɖa le togbɛawo dzi kple dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo ɖa le Yuda duwo me. Esia ta Mawu na ŋutifafa nɔ eƒe fiaduƒe me.
And he took awei fro alle the citees of Juda auteris and templis of idols, and he regnede in pees.
6 Nu sia na wòte ŋu tso duwo eye wòɖo gli ƒo xlã wo le Yudanyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa.
And he bildide stronge cytees in Juda; for he was in reste, and no batels risiden in his tymes, for the Lord yaf pees.
7 Fia Asa gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Esi Yehowa yra mí eye ŋutifafa le míaƒe anyigba dzi le esi míeɖo toe ta la, mina míatso duwo fifia eye míaglã wo kple gliwo, xɔ tsralawo, agbowo kple gamedetiwo.” Ale wowɔ nu siawo eye nu sia nu dze edzi nyuie.
Forsothe he seide to Juda, Bilde we these cytees, and cumpasse we with wallis, and strengthe we with touris and yatis and lockis, as longe as alle thingis ben restful fro batel; for we han souyte the Lord God of oure fadris, and he hath youe to vs pees bi cumpas. Therfor thei bildiden, and no lettyng was in bildyng.
8 Aʋawɔla akpe alafa etɔ̃ tso Yuda ƒe viwo dome nɔ Fia Asa ƒe aʋakɔ me. Akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔwo kple akplɔwo nɔ wo si. Ame akpe alafa eve blaenyi tso Benyamin ƒe viwo dome nɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la me eye akpoxɔnu gãtɔwo kple datiwo kple aŋutrɔwo nɔ wo si. Wohe aʋawɔlawo katã tso to eveawo me eye wonye kalẽtɔwo.
Sotheli Asa hadde in his oost thre hundrid thousynde of men of Juda berynge scheldis and speris, sotheli of Beniamyn he hadde two hundrid thousynde and fourscoore thousynde of scheeld beeris and of archeris; alle these weren ful stronge men.
9 Zera, Kusitɔ, ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe kple tasiaɖam alafa etɔ̃ eye wova ɖo keke Maresa.
Forsothe Zara of Ethiop yede out ayens hem with his oost ten `sithis an hundrid thousynde, and with thre hundrid charis, and cam `til to Masera.
10 Asa do go yi be yeakpee eye eƒe amewo dze aʋa ɖi ɖe Zefata bali la me te ɖe Maresa ŋu.
Certis Aza yede ayens hem, and araiede scheltrun to batel in the valei Sephata, which is bisidis Masera. And he inwardli clepide the Lord God,
11 Fia Asa do ɣli na Mawu be, “Oo Yehowa, ame bubu aɖeke mate ŋu akpe ɖe mía ŋu o! Míate ŋu anɔ te ɖe aʋakɔ gã sesẽ sia nu o. Oo, xɔ na mí, Yehowa míaƒe Mawu elabena wò ɖeka ko ŋue míeɖo ŋu ɖo be, àxɔ na mí eye le wò ŋkɔ mee míele aʋa kpem kple futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gã sia. Mègana amegbetɔ siwo mele ɖeke me o la, naɖu dziwò o!”
and seide, Lord, no dyuersitee is anentis thee, whether thou helpe in fewe, ethir in manye; oure Lord God, helpe thou vs, for we han trist in thee and in thi name, and camen ayens this multitude; Lord, thou art oure God, a man haue not the maistrye ayens thee.
12 Yehowa na Asa kple Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Kustɔwo dzi eye Kustɔwo si.
Therfor the Lord made aferd Ethiopens bifor Asa and Juda, and Ethiopens fledden; and Asa and his puple,
13 Asa ƒe amewo nya wo yi keke Gerar ke eye wofiti Kustɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ale gbegbe be, ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o elabena Yehowa kple eƒe aʋakɔ la tsrɔ̃ wo katã. Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ha aboyonu geɖewo ŋutɔ.
that was with hym, pursuede hem `til to Gerare. And Ethiopens felden doun `til to deeth, for thei weren al to-brokun bi the Lord sleynge, and bi his oost fiytynge. Therfor thei token many spuylis,

and smitiden alle the citees `bi the cumpas of Gerare; for greet drede hadde assailid alle men. And thei rifliden cytees, and baren a weye myche prey;
15 Womeha nuwo ɖeɖe ko le duawo me o, ke boŋ wogbã lãhawo ƒe agbadɔwo hã eye wokplɔ ale kple kposɔ geɖewo dzoe va Yerusalem.
but also thei destrieden the fooldis of scheep, and token multitude without noumbre of scheep and of camels, and turneden ayen in to Jerusalem.
