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 Assa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Assa, and all Judah and Benjamin, The Lord is with you, while ye remain with him; and if ye seek him, he will let himself be found by you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

And when Assa heard these words, and the prophecy of 'Oded the prophet, he was strengthened, and he put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured from the mountain of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.

And they entered into the covenant to seek the Lord 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.
So that whosoever would not seek the Lord the God of Israel should be put to death, from the small even up to the great, whether it be man or woman.
14 Suka yi rantsuwa ga Ubangiji da babbar murya, da ihu da garayu da ƙahoni.
And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with [joyful] 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 because of the oath; for with all their heart had they sworn, and with their whole desire did they seek him, and he let himself be found by them: and the Lord gave them rest on every side.

But the high-places were not removed out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Assa was entire all his days.
18 Ya kawo azurfa da zinariya da kayayyaki a haikalin Allah waɗanda shi da mahaifinsa suka keɓe.
