2 Asa yii dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ fii Awurade Asɔredan adekoradan ne ahemfi hɔ. Ɔde kɔmaa Aramhene Ben-Hadad a na odi hene wɔ Damasko na ɔde saa nkra yi kaa ho:
Ndipo Asa anatenga siliva ndi golide ku malo osungirako a mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndi ku nyumba yake yaufumu ndi kuzitumiza kwa Beni-Hadadi mfumu ya Aramu imene inkakhala mu Damasiko.
3 “Ma yɛnyɛ apam a na ɛda wʼagya ne mʼagya ntam no foforo. Tie, mede akyɛde a ɛyɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ resoma de abrɛ wo. Twa wo ne Israelhene Baasa apam no mu, sɛnea ɔmmfa ne nsa nka me.”

5 Bere a Israelhene Baasa tee asɛm a asi no, ogyaee Rama bammɔ ho dwumadi no.

6 Enti ɔhene Asa frɛɛ ne mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa ma wɔbɛsoaa adansi abo ne nnua a na Baasa de rebɔ Rama ho ban no. Asa de saa nneɛma yi bɔɔ nkurow Geba ne Mispa ho ban.
Ndipo mfumu Asa anabwera ndi Ayuda onse, ndipo anachotsa miyala ndi matabwa ku Rama amene Baasa amagwiritsa ntchito. Ndi zimenezi Asa ankamangira Geba ndi Mizipa.
7 Saa bere no mu no, ɔdehufo Hanani baa ɔhene Asa nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Esiane sɛ wode wo ho ato Aramhene so, na woagyaw Awurade wo Nyankopɔn nti, worentumi nni Aramhene asraafo no so.
Nthawi imeneyi mlosi Hanani anabwera kwa Asa mfumu ya Yuda ndipo anati kwa iye, “Chifukwa chakuti munadalira mfumu ya Aramu osati Yehova Mulungu wanu, gulu la ankhondo la mfumu ya ku Aramu lapulumuka mʼmanja mwanu.
8 Wonkae nea ɛbaa Etiopiafo no ne Libiafo ne wɔn asraafodɔm dodow ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn apɔnkɔsotefo so no? Saa bere no, na wode wo ho to Awurade so, na ɔde wɔn nyinaa hyɛɛ wo nsa.
Kodi Akusi ndi Alibiya sanali gulu lankhondo lamphamvu lokhala ndi magaleta ochuluka ndi okwera magaleta ake? Koma pamene inu munadalira Yehova, Iye anawapereka mʼdzanja lanu.
9 Awurade aniwa kyin fa asase so baabiara, sɛnea ɔbɛhyɛ wɔn a wɔde wɔn koma nyinaa to no so no den. Nkwaseasɛm bɛn na woadi yi! Efi nnɛ, wobɛkɔ ɔko.”
Pakuti Yehova amayangʼana uku ndi uku pa dziko lonse lapansi kuti alimbikitse iwo amene mitima yawo ayipereka kwathunthu kwa Iye. Inu mwachita chinthu chopusa ndipo kuyambira lero mudzakhala pa nkhondo.”
10 Asa bo fuw Hanani yiye sɛ wabɛka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ no, na ɔkyeree no too afiase. Saa bere no ara na Asa afi ase rehyɛ ne nkurɔfo no bi so.
Asa anamupsera mtima mlosi uja chifukwa cha izi mwakuti anakwiya kwambiri namuyika mʼndende. Pa nthawi yomweyonso Asa anazunza mwankhanza anthu ena.
11 Asa ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Yuda ne Israel ahemfo nhoma no mu.
