He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Yahweh is with you, while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you 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 period, Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without the 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 Yahweh, 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.
In those times there was no peace for him who traveled away, nor for him who traveled to here; instead, great troubles were on 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.
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city, for God troubled them with all kinds of suffering.
7 Amma game da ku, ku ƙarfafa kada ku fid da zuciya, gama za a ba ku ladan aikinku.”
But be strong, and do not let your hands be weak, for your work will be rewarded.”

Ya gyaggyara bagaden Ubangiji da yake a gaban shirayin haikalin Ubangiji.
When Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage and drove away the disgusting things from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities that he had captured from the hill country of Ephraim, and he rebuilt Yahweh's altar, which was in front of the portico of Yahweh's house.
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.
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who stayed with them—people from of Ephraim and Manasseh, and from Simeon. For they came from Israel to him in great numbers, when they saw that Yahweh 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 together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa's reign.
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.
They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day some of the plunder that they had brought: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep and goats.
12 Suka yi alkawari don su nemi Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, da dukan zuciyarsu da kuma dukan ransu.
They entered into a covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, 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.
They agreed that whoever refused to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether the person was small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Suka yi rantsuwa ga Ubangiji da babbar murya, da ihu da garayu da ƙahoni.
They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, and with trumpets and horns.
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.
All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart, and they sought God with their whole desire, and he was found by them. Yahweh gave them peace all around them.
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.
He also removed Maacah, his grandmother, from being queen, because she had made a disgusting figure out of an Asherah pole. Asa cut down the disgusting figure, ground it to dust and burned 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 out of Israel. Nevertheless, Asa's heart was completely devoted all his days.
18 Ya kawo azurfa da zinariya da kayayyaki a haikalin Allah waɗanda shi da mahaifinsa suka keɓe.
He brought into the house of God the silver and gold and the utensils that he and his father had dedicated for that purpose.
19 Ba a ƙara yin yaƙi ba sai a shekara ta talatin da biyar ta mulkin Asa.
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
