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.

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.”
“Ma yɛnyɛ apam sɛdeɛ wʼagya ne mʼagya yɛɛ apam no. Mede dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ akyɛdeɛ rebrɛ wo. Twa wo ne Israelhene Baasa apam no mu, sɛdeɛ ɔremfa ne nsa nka me.”
4 Beni-Hadadi agĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro wa Mũthamaki Asa, agĩtũma anene a ikundi cia thigari ciake makahũũre matũũra ma Isiraeli. Nao magĩtooria Ijoni, na Dani, na Abeli-Maimu, na matũũra manene mothe marĩa maarĩ makũmbĩ ma kũu Nafitali.

5 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama na agĩtiganĩria wĩra wake.
Ɛberɛ a Israelhene Baasa tee deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, ɔgyaee Rama ho banbɔ dwumadie no.
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.

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.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, ɔdehunumuni Hanani baa ɔhene Asa nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Esiane sɛ wode wo ho ato Aramhene so, na woagya Awurade wo Onyankopɔn enti, worentumi nni Aramhene akodɔm so.
