1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesithupha wokubusa kukaAsa uBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyuka emelana loJuda, wakha iRama ukuze angavumeli ophumayo longenayo kuAsa inkosi yakoJuda.
Asa dii adeɛ mfeɛ aduasa nsia no, Israelhene Baasa kɔto hyɛɛ Yuda so, na ɔbɔɔ Rama ho ban, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, obi ntumi nkɔ mu anaa ɔmpue mfiri ɔhene Asa Yudaman mu.
2 UAsa wasekhupha isiliva legolide esiphaleni senotho sendlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi, wathumela kuBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya owayehlala eDamaseko, esithi:
Asa yii dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ firii Awurade Asɔredan adekoradan ne ahemfie hɔ. Ɔde kɔmaa Aramhene Ben-Hadad a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Damasko na ɔde saa nkra yi kaa ho:
3 Kulesivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe laphakathi kukababa loyihlo; khangela, ngiyakuthumela isiliva legolide; hamba, yephula isivumelwano sakho loBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli ukuze enyuke asuke kimi.
“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 UBenihadadi waseyilalela inkosi uAsa, wathuma induna zamabutho ayelawo ukuyamelana lemizi yakoIsrayeli, zasezitshaya iIjoni leDani leAbeli-Mayimi, lemizi yonke eyiziphala yakoNafithali.
Ben-Hadad penee ɔhene Asa abisadeɛ no so, na ɔsomaa nʼasraafoɔ, kɔto hyɛɛ Israel so. Wɔdii Iyon, Dan, Abel-Maim ne Naftali aduane akoraeɛ nkuropɔn nyinaa so.
5 Kwasekusithi uBahasha esizwa wayekela ukwakha iRama, wawumisa umsebenzi wakhe.
Ɛberɛ a Israelhene Baasa tee deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, ɔgyaee Rama ho banbɔ dwumadie no.
6 UAsa inkosi wasethatha uJuda wonke, bathutha amatshe eRama lezigodo zayo uBahasha ayesakha ngakho; wasesakha ngakho iGeba leMizipa.
Enti, ɔhene Asa frɛɛ ne mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa, maa wɔbɛsoaa adansie aboɔ ne nnua a na Baasa de rebɔ Rama ho ban no. Asa de saa nneɛma yi bɔɔ nkuro Geba ne Mispa ho ban.
7 Ngalesosikhathi uHanani umboni wasefika kuAsa inkosi yakoJuda, wathi kuye: Ngoba weyeme enkosini yeSiriya, ungeyamanga eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, ngalokho ibutho lenkosi yeSiriya liphunyukile esandleni sakho.
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.
8 AmaEthiyophiya lamaLibiya ayengeyisilo ibutho elikhulu, elezinqola labagadi bamabhiza abanengi kakhulu yini? Kanti lapho weyeme eNkosini, yawanikela esandleni sakho.
Wonkae deɛ ɛbaa Etiopiafoɔ no ne Libiafoɔ ne wɔn akodɔm dodoɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn apɔnkɔsotefoɔ so no? Saa ɛberɛ no, na wode wo ho to Awurade so, na ɔde wɔn nyinaa hyɛɛ wo nsa.
9 Ngoba iNkosi, amehlo ayo agijima aye le lale emhlabeni wonke ukuthi izitshengise ilamandla ngalabo abanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuyo. Wenze ngobuthutha kulokhu, ngoba kusukela khathesi kuzakuba lezimpi kuwe.
Awurade aniwa kyini fa asase so baabiara, sɛdeɛ ɔbɛhyɛ wɔn a wɔde wɔn akoma nyinaa to no so no den. Nkwaseasɛm bɛn na woadi yi! Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wobɛkɔ ɔko.”
10 UAsa wasemcunukela umboni, wamfaka entolongweni, ngoba wamthukuthelela ngalokhu. UAsa wasecindezela abanye ebantwini ngalesosikhathi.
Asa bo fuu Hanani yie sɛ wabɛka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ no, na ɔkyeree no too afiase. Saa ɛberɛ no ara na Asa ahyɛ aseɛ rehyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ no bi so.
11 Khangela-ke, izindaba zikaAsa, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoJuda lakoIsrayeli.
Asa ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, firi ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda ne Israel ahemfo nwoma no mu.
12 UAsa waba lomkhuhlane enyaweni zakhe, ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesificamunwemunye wokubusa kwakhe, umkhuhlane wakhe waze wakhula kakhulu; kanti lekuguleni kwakhe kayidinganga iNkosi, kodwa izinyanga.
Nʼadedie mfeɛ aduasa nkron so no, yadeɛ huhu bi yɛɛ Asa nan. Yadeɛ no duruu ne mpɔmpɔnsoɔ a ɛreyɛ akum no mpo no, wanhwehwɛ Awurade mmoa akyiri ɛkwan, na mmom, ɔhwehwɛɛ ayaresafoɔ mmoa.
13 UAsa waselala laboyise wafa ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane lanye wokubusa kwakhe.
Enti, nʼadedie mfeɛ aduanan baako so no, ɔwuiɛ.
14 Basebemngcwaba emangcwabeni akhe ayezigebhele wona emzini kaDavida; bambeka embhedeni ayewugcwalise amaphunga amnandi lezinhlobonhlobo zamakha, ayenziwe ngokuhlakanipha kwezingcitshi zamakha; basebembasela umlilo omkhulu, omkhulukazi.
Wɔsiee no ɔboda a ɔno ara twa maa nʼankasa ho no mu wɔ Dawid kurom. Wɔdedaa no mpa a wɔde nnuhwam ne sradehwam ho hwa ahyɛ no ma, na nʼayiyɛ no mu no, nnipa no bɔɔ gyatanaa kɛseɛ bi de hyɛɛ no animuonyam.
