3 Nĩekire mehia marĩa mothe ithe eekĩte mbere yake; ndeyamũrĩire Jehova Ngai wake na ngoro yake yothe, ta ũrĩa ngoro ya ithe Daudi yatariĩ.
Wasehamba ezonweni zonke zikayise ayezenze phambi kwakhe, lenhliziyo yakhe yayingaphelelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengenhliziyo kaDavida uyise.

Kodwa ngenxa kaDavida iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe yamnika isibane eJerusalema, ngokubeka indodana yakhe emva kwakhe, langokuqinisa iJerusalema.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Daudi nĩekĩte ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaagire kũrũmia watho o na ũmwe wa Jehova matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wake, tiga ũhoro-inĩ wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti.
Ngoba uDavida wenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi, kaphambukanga kukho konke eyamlaya khona insuku zonke zempilo yakhe, ngaphandle kwedabeni lukaUriya umHethi.
6 Na rĩrĩ, gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe Abija aarĩ muoyo.
Kwakukhona-ke impi phakathi kukaRehobhowamu loJerobhowamu zonke izinsuku zempilo yakhe.

8 Nake Abija akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
UAbhiyamu waselala laboyise, bamngcwabela emzini kaDavida. UAsa indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
9 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, nĩguo Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,

10 nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe. Cũwe wake eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
Wasebusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMahaka indodakazi kaAbishalomu.
11 Asa nĩekire ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
UAsa wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengoDavida uyise.
12 Nĩaingatire maraya ma arũme ma mahooero-inĩ moime bũrũri ũcio, na akĩeheria mĩhianano yothe ya kũhooyagwo ĩrĩa maithe make maathondekete.
Wasusa izinkotshana elizweni, wasusa zonke izithombe oyise ababezenzile.
13 O na nĩeheririe cũwe wake Maaka atige gũtuĩka mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja, tondũ nĩathondekete gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi mũno. Asa agĩkĩmomora, agĩgĩcinĩra kĩanda-inĩ gĩa Kidironi.
Laye-ke uMahaka unina wamsusa ekubeni yindlovukazi, ngoba wayenze into enengekayo ibe yiAshera; uAsa waseyigamula into yakhe enengekayo, wayitshisela esifuleni iKidroni.
14 O na gũtuĩka ndaathengirie mahooero marĩa maarĩ kũndũ gũtũũgĩru-rĩ, ngoro ya Asa nĩyerutĩire Jehova mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake wothe.
Kanti indawo eziphakemeyo kazisuswanga; lanxa kunjalo inhliziyo kaAsa yayiphelele kuJehova insuku zakhe zonke.
15 Nĩarehire kũu hekarũ ya Jehova betha, na thahabu, na indo iria ciothe we mwene hamwe na ithe maamũrĩte.
Wasengenisa izinto ezehlukanisiweyo zikayise kanye lezakhe izinto ezehlukanisiweyo endlini yeNkosi, isiliva legolide lezitsha.
16 Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
Kwakukhona-ke impi phakathi kukaAsa loBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli zonke izinsuku zabo.
17 Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩambatire agĩũkĩrĩra Juda na agĩaka rũthingo rwa hinya kũu Rama, nĩgeetha agirĩrĩrie andũ matikoime kana matoonye bũrũri wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
UBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli wasesenyuka wamelana loJuda, wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuphuma lokungena kuAsa inkosi yakoJuda.
18 Ningĩ Asa akĩruta betha na thahabu ciothe iria ciatigarĩte kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova na kĩa nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki. Nake agĩciĩhokera anene ake macitwarĩre Beni-Hadadi mũrũ wa Taburimoni, mũrũ wa Hezioni, mũthamaki wa Suriata, ũrĩa waathanaga Dameski.
UAsa wasethatha sonke isiliva legolide okwakusele emagugwini endlu kaJehova lamagugu endlu yenkosi, wakunikela esandleni senceku zakhe; inkosi uAsa yakuthumela kuBenihadadi indodana kaTabirimoni indodana kaHeziyoni, inkosi yeSiriya, owayehlala eDamaseko, esithi:

21 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama, agĩthiĩ gũikara Tiriza.
