Mugore ramakumi matatu namatanhatu rokutonga kwaAsa, Bhaasha mambo weIsraeri akamukira Judha akandovakira Rama masvingo kuti arege kutendera munhu kubuda kana kupinda munyika yaAsa mambo weJudha.
2 Nake Asa akĩoya betha na thahabu kuuma igĩĩna-inĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova o na kuuma nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na agĩcitũmĩra Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata ũrĩa wathamakaga Dameski.
Ipapo Asa akatora sirivha negoridhe kubva mumatura epfuma yetemberi yaJehovha nokubva mumuzinda wake akazvitumira kuna Bheni-Hadhadhi mambo weAramu, uyo aitonga kuDhamasiko.
3 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke hakorwo harĩ na kĩrĩĩko giitũ nawe o ta ũrĩa haarĩ kĩrĩĩko gatagatĩ ka baba na thoguo. Ta kĩone, nĩndagũtũmĩra betha na thahabu. Rĩu tharia kĩrĩĩko kĩanyu na Baasha, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atigane na niĩ.”

Bheni-Hadhadhi akatenderana namambo Asa uye akatumira vakuru vehondo yake kundorwisa maguta eIsraeri. Vakakunda Ijoni, Dhani, Abheri Maimi namaguta ose amatura eNafutari.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama na agĩtiganĩria wĩra wake.
Bhaasha paakanzwa izvi, akasiya kuvaka Rama akaregedza basa rake.
6 Ningĩ Mũthamaki Asa akĩrehe andũ othe a Juda, nao magĩkuua mahiga na mbaũ kuuma Rama iria Baasha aatũmagĩra gwaka. Indo icio nĩcio Asa aatũmĩrire gwaka Geba na Mizipa.
Ipapo Mambo Asa akauyisa varume vose veJudha, uye vakatakura kubva kuRama matombo ose namatanda aishandiswa naBhaasha. Akavaka Gebha neMizipa nazvo.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hanani ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ agĩũka kũrĩ Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩwehokire mũthamaki wa Suriata ũkĩaga kwĩhoka Jehova Ngai waku, mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩciũrĩte ikoima moko-inĩ maku.
Panguva iyoyo Hanani muoni akauya kuna Asa mambo weJudha akati kwaari, “Nokuti wakavimba namambo weAramu, kwete naJehovha Mwari wako, hondo yamambo weAramu yapunyuka kubva mumaoko ako.
8 Githĩ Akushi na Alubi, matiarĩ mbũtũ nene ya ita, na makagĩa na ngaari cia ita nyingĩ na andũ arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi? No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa wehokire Jehova, nĩamaneanire moko-inĩ maku.
Ko, vaEtiopia navaRibhiya vakanga vasiri hondo huru nengoro zhinji navatasvi vamabhiza vazhinji here? Asi pamakavimba naJehovha, akavaisa mumaoko enyu.
9 Nĩgũkorwo maitho ma Jehova morũũraga thĩ yothe gwĩkĩra hinya arĩa maheanĩte ngoro ciao biũ kũrĩ we. Nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ wa ũrimũ, na kuuma rĩu nĩũgũcooka kũgĩa na mbaara.”
Nokuti meso aJehovha anosvika panyika yose kwaari, wakaita chinhu choupenzi uye kubva zvino zvichienda mberi ucharwa hondo.”
10 Asa akĩrakarĩra Hanani ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio; akĩmũrakarĩra mũno o nginya akĩmũikia njeera. O hĩndĩ ĩyo, Asa akĩambĩrĩria kũhinyĩrĩria andũ amwe atarĩ na tha.

11 Maũndũ ma wathani wa Asa kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo mbuku-inĩ ya athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
Mamwe mabasa okutonga kwaAsa, kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira akanyorwa mubhuku ramadzimambo aJudha neIsraeri.
12 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa wathani wake, Asa nĩarũarire magũrũ. O na gũtuĩka mũrimũ ũcio nĩwamũhatĩrĩirie mũno, o na ndwari-inĩ yake-rĩ, ndaigana kũmaatha ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no aacaririe ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ mandagĩtarĩ.
