Then the Spirite of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Obed.

2 eye wòɖakpe Fia Asa esi wòtrɔ gbɔna tso aʋa. Azaria do ɣli be, “Asa, ɖo tom! Yuda kple Benyamin ƒe aʋakɔwo, miɖo to! Yehowa anɔ kpli mi ŋkeke ale si mianɔ eyome! Ɣe sia ɣi si miadii ko la, miakpɔe gake ne miegbugbɔ le eyome la, eya hã agbugbɔ le mia yome.

And he went out to meete Asa, and said vnto him, O Asa, and all Iudah, and Beniamin, heare ye me. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seeke him, he wil be founde of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

3 Hena ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe le Israel la, nyateƒe Mawu la subɔsubɔ meganɔ anyi o eye nunɔla aɖeke hã meganɔ anyi afia nu ameawo o. Nenema ke se la hã meganɔ anyi o

Nowe for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without Priest to teach and without Lawe.

4 gake ɣe sia ɣi si wogatrɔ va Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gbɔ le woƒe fukpeɣiwo me eye wodii la, egakpena ɖe wo ŋu.

But whosoeuer returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was founde of them.

5 Ŋutifafa aɖeke menɔ anyi esime wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ŋu o. Nuwo kpeke wo le go ɖe sia ɖe me eye nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ nɔ agbɔ sɔm ɖe edzi le afi sia afi.

And in that time there was no peace to him, that did goe out and goe in: but great troubles were to all the inhabitants of the earth.

6 Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi yim le woawo kple dukɔ bubuwo dome eye aʋawɔwɔ ganɔ Israel duwo ɖeɖe hã dome elabena Mawu nɔ fukpekpe ƒomevi vovovowo dam ɖe wo dzi.

For nation was destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God troubled them with all aduersitie.

7 Ke mi Yuda ƒe viwo la, milé dɔ nyui si wɔm miele la me ɖe asi eye migana dzi naɖe le mia ƒo o elabena fetu li na mi.”

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your handes be weake: for your worke shall haue a rewarde.

8 Esi Fia Asa se nya sia tso Mawu gbɔ la, dzi ɖo eƒo eye wògbã legbawo katã le Yuda kple Benyamin kple du siwo wòxɔ le Efraim ƒe tonyigba dzi la me. Egbugbɔ Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la tu ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ.

And when Asa heard these wordes, and the prophesie of Obed the Prophet, he was encouraged, and tooke away the abominations out of all the lande of Iudah, and Beniamin, and out of the cities which he had taken of mount Ephraim, and he renued the altar of the Lord, that was before the porche of the Lord.

11 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, wotsɔ nyi alafa adre, gbɔ̃ kple alẽ akpe adre tso afunyinu siwo woha gbɔe la me, sa vɔe na Yehowa.

And they offred vnto the Lord the same time of the spoyle, which they had brought, euen seuen hundreth bullockes, and seuen thousande sheepe.

16 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.

17 Togbɔ be megbã nuxeƒewo ɖa le Israel o hã la, Asa ƒe dzi nɔ Yehowa ŋu blibo le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.

But the hie places were not taken away out of Israel: yet the heart of Asa was perfit all his dayes.
