He took down the foreign altars and high places, smashed their sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles.

6 Ya gina biranen katanga na Yahuda, da yake ƙasar tana zaman lafiya. Babu wanda yake yaƙi da shi a waɗannan shekaru, gama Ubangiji ya ba shi hutu.
Because the country was at peace he was able to rebuild the fortified towns of Judah. There were no wars during these years because the Lord had granted him peace.

Asa told the people of Judah, “Let us build up these towns and surround them with walls and towers and barred gates. The land is still ours, because we continue to worship the Lord our God. We worship him, and he has given us peace from all our enemies.” So they began the building projects, and completed them successfully.

Asa had an army made up of three hundred thousand men from Judah who carried large shields and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand men from Benjamin who carried regular shields and bows. All of them were brave warriors.

Zerah the Ethiopian attacked them with an army of a thousand times a thousand men and three hundred chariots, advancing as far as Mareshah.
10 Asa ya fita don yă ƙara da shi, suka ja dāgā yaƙi a Kwarin Zefata kusa da Maresha.
Asa went out to confront him, lining up for battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 Sai Asa ya kira ga Ubangiji Allahnsa ya ce, “Ubangiji, babu wani kamar ka da zai taimaki marar ƙarfi a kan mai ƙarfi. Ka taimake mu, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, gama mun dogara a gare ka, kuma a cikin sunanka muka fito don mu yaƙi wannan babbar runduna. Ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allahnmu; kada ka bar mutum yă yi nasara a kanka.”
Asa called out for help to the Lord his God: “Lord, there is no one apart from you who can help the powerless against the powerful. Please help us, Lord our God, for we trust in you. We have come against this horde because we stand for you, Lord. You are our God. Do not let a mere human being beat you.”
12 Ubangiji fa ya bugi mutanen Kush a gaban Asa da Yahuda. Mutanen Kush suka gudu,
The Lord struck the Ethiopians in front of Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians ran away.
13 Asa kuwa da mayaƙansa suka bi su har Gerar. Mutanen Kush suka mutu a ranan nan har ba a iya ƙidaya, aka buge su a gaban Ubangiji da rundunansa. Mutanen Yahuda suka kwashi ganima sosai.
Asa and his army chased them as far as Gerar. The Ethiopians were killed—there were none who survived, for they were caught between the Lord and his army. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder.
14 Suka hallaka dukan ƙauyukan kewaye da Gerar, gama tsoron Ubangiji ya kama su. Suka kwashi ganima na dukan ƙauyukan nan, da yake akwai ganima sosai a can.
They also attacked all the towns around Gerar, because the inhabitants were terrified of the Lord. The men of Judah took a large amount of plunder from all the towns.
15 Suka kuma yaƙi sansanin makiyaya suka kwashe tumaki da awaki da raƙuma. Suka koma Urushalima.
Then they attacked the camps of the herdsmen and took many sheep and camels. Then they went back to Jerusalem.
