1 Sai Ruhun Allah ya sauko a kan Azariya ɗan Oded.
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
2 Ya fita ya je ya sadu da Asa ya kuma faɗa masa, “Ka saurare ni, Asa da kuma dukan Yahuda da Benyamin. Ubangiji yana tare da ku sa’ad da kuke tare da shi. In kuka neme shi, za ku same shi, amma in kuka yashe shi, zai yashe ku.
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. Jehovah is with you while ye are with him. And if ye seek him, he will be found of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Tun da daɗewa Isra’ila ba su da Allah na gaskiya, babu firist da zai koyar, kuma babu doka.
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 Amma cikin wahalarsu suka juya ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, suka kuma neme shi, suka kuwa same shi.
But when in their distress they turned to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 A waɗancan kwanaki akwai hatsari a yin tafiye-tafiye, gama dukan mazaunan ƙasashe suna cikin babbar damuwa.
And in those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Wata ƙasa takan murƙushe wata, wani birni kuma yakan murƙushe wani, domin Allah ya wahalshe su da kowace irin damuwa.
And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city. For God vexed them with all adversity.
7 Amma game da ku, ku ƙarfafa kada ku fid da zuciya, gama za a ba ku ladan aikinku.”
But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack. For your work shall be rewarded.
8 Sa’ad da Asa ya ji waɗannan kalmomin da annabcin Azariya ɗan Oded annabi ya faɗa, sai ya sami ƙarfi hali. Ya kawar da gumaka masu banƙyama daga dukan ƙasar Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma daga garuruwan da ya ci da yaƙi a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim. Ya gyaggyara bagaden Ubangiji da yake a gaban shirayin haikalin Ubangiji.
And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim. And he renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah.
9 Sa’an nan ya tattara dukan Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma mutane daga Efraim, Manasse da Simeyon waɗanda suke zaune a cikinsu, gama jama’a mai girma ta zo wurinsa daga Isra’ila sa’ad da suka ga cewa Ubangiji Allahnsa yana tare da shi.
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon, for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him.
10 Suka taru a Urushalima a wata na uku na shekara ta goma sha biyar ta mulkin Asa.
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 A lokacin suka miƙa hadaya bijimai ɗari bakwai da tumaki da kuma awaki dubu bakwai ga Ubangiji daga ganimar da suka dawo da ita.
And they sacrificed to Jehovah in that day of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 Suka yi alkawari don su nemi Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, da dukan zuciyarsu da kuma dukan ransu.
And they entered into the covenant to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul.
13 Aka kashe dukan waɗanda ba su nemi Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ba, ko ƙarami ko babba, namiji ko ta mace.
And that whoever would not seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Suka yi rantsuwa ga Ubangiji da babbar murya, da ihu da garayu da ƙahoni.
And they swore to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Dukan Yahuda suka yi farin ciki game da rantsuwar domin sun yi rantsuwar gabagadi. Suka nemi Allah da gaske, suka kuma same shi. Saboda haka Ubangiji ya ba su hutu a kowane gefe.
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath. For they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them. And Jehovah gave them rest round about.
16 Sarki Asa ya tuɓe mahaifiyar mahaifiyarsa daga matsayinta na mahaifiyar sarauniya, domin ta gina ginshiƙin banƙyama na Ashera. Asa ya rurrushe shi, ya farfasa shi ya kuma ƙone shi a Kwarin Kidron.
And also he removed Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. And Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
17 Ko da yake bai kawar da masujadan kan tudu daga Isra’ila ba, zuciyar Asa ta cika da bin Ubangiji dukan kwanakinsa.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Ya kawo azurfa da zinariya da kayayyaki a haikalin Allah waɗanda shi da mahaifinsa suka keɓe.
And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Ba a ƙara yin yaƙi ba sai a shekara ta talatin da biyar ta mulkin Asa.
And there was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
