Forsothe in the sixe and thrittithe yeer of his rewme Baasa, the kyng of Israel, stiede in to Juda, and cumpasside Rama with a wal, that no man of the rewme of Asa myyte go out ether entre sikirli.
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:
Sotheli Asa brouyte forth gold and siluer fro the tresours of the hows of the Lord, and fro the kyngis tresouris; and sente to Benadab, kyng of Sirie, that dwellide in Damask,
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.”
and seide, Boond of pees is bitwixe me and thee, and my fadir and thi fadir hadden acordyng; wherfor Y sente to thee siluer and gold, that whanne thou hast broke the boond of pees, which thou hast with Baasa, king of Israel, thou make hym to go awei fro me.
4 Ben-Hadad penee ɔhene Asa abisade no so, na ɔsomaa nʼasraafo, kɔtow hyɛɛ Israel so. Wodii Iyon, Dan, Abel-Maim ne Naftali aduan akorae nkuropɔn nyinaa so.
And whanne this was foundun, Benadab sente princes of hise oostis to the citees of Israel, whiche smytiden Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaym, and alle the wallid citees of Neptalym.
5 Bere a Israelhene Baasa tee asɛm a asi no, ogyaee Rama bammɔ ho dwumadi no.
And whanne Baasa hadde herd this, he ceesside to bilde Rama, and left his werk.
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.
Forsothe kyng Asa took al Juda, and thei token fro Rama the stonys and trees, whiche Baasa hadde maad redi to bildyng; and he bildide of tho Gabaa, and Maspha.
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.
In that tyme Anany, the profete, cam to Asa, kyng of Juda, and seide to hym, For thou haddist trist in the kyng of Sirie, and not in `thi Lord God, herfor the oost of `the kyng of Sirie aschapide fro thin hond.
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.
Whether `Ethiopiens and Libiens weren not many mo in charis, and knyytis, and ful greet multitude; whiche whanne thou haddist bileuyd to the Lord, he bitook in to thin hondis?
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.”
For the iyen of the Lord biholden al the erthe, and yyuen strengthe to hem, that with perfit herte bileuen in to hym. Therfor thou hast do folili, and for this, yhe, in present tyme batels schulen rise ayens thee.
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.
And Asa was wrooth ayens the prophete, and comaundide hym to be sent in to stockis. Forsothe the Lord hadde indignacioun greetli on this thing, and killide ful many of the puple in that tyme.
11 Asa ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔakyerɛw agu Yuda ne Israel ahemfo nhoma no mu.
Sotheli the firste and the laste werkis of Asa ben writun in the book of kyngis of Juda and of Israel.
12 Nʼadedi mfe aduasa akron so no, ɔyare huhuuhu bi yɛɛ Asa nan. Ɔyare no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso a ɛreyɛ akum no mpo no, wanhwehwɛ Awurade mmoa akyi kwan, na mmom, ɔhwehwɛɛ ayaresafo mmoa.
Forsothe Asa was sijk ful gretli in the akynge of feet, in the nyne and thrittithe yeer of his rewme; and nether in his sikenesse he souyte the Lord, but tristide more in the craft of lechis.
13 Enti nʼadedi mfe aduanan baako so no, owui.
And Asa slepte with hise fadris, and he was deed in the oon and fourtithe yeer of his rewme.
14 Wosiee no ɔboda a ɔno ara twa maa nʼankasa ho no mu wɔ Dawid kurom. Wɔdedaa no mpa a wɔde nnuhuam ne sradehuam ho hua ahyɛ no ma, na nʼayiyɛ no mu no, nnipa no bɔɔ ogyatannaa kɛse bi de hyɛɛ no anuonyam.
And thei birieden him in his sepulcre, which he hadde maad to hym silf in the cytee of Dauid; and thei puttiden hym on his bed ful of swete smellynge spices and oynementis of hooris, that weren `maad togidere bi the craft of oynement makeris, and thei brenten on hym with ful greet cost.
