2 Berɛsosɛm 15
1 Na Onyankopɔn honhom baa Oded babarima Asaria so,
Mzimu wa Mulungu unabwera pa Azariya mwana wa Odedi.
2 na ɔpue kɔhyiaa ɔhene Asa a ɔfiri akono reba no. Ɔteaam guu Asa so sɛ, “Tie me, Asa, Yudafoɔ ne Benyaminfoɔ nyinaa montie. Mmerɛ dodoɔ a mo ne Awurade te no, ɔno nso ne mo bɛtena. Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhwehwɛ noɔ no, mobɛhunu no. Nanso sɛ mogya no a, ɔno nso bɛgya mo.
Iye anapita kukakumana ndi Asa ndipo anati kwa iye, “Tandimverani, inu Asa ndi Ayuda onse ndi Benjamini. Yehova ali ndi inu, inunso mukakhala naye. Ngati inu mumufunafuna Iye mudzamupeza, koma ngati mumusiya, Iye adzakusiyani.
3 Teteete no, na Israel nni nokorɛ Onyankopɔn, na wɔnni ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn, na wɔnni Onyankopɔn mmara nso.
Kwa nthawi yayitali Israeli anali wopanda Mulungu weniweni, wopanda wansembe wophunzitsa ndi wopanda malamulo.
4 Nanso, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛkɔ ahohiahia mu na mobɛkɔ Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn nkyɛn, na moahwehwɛ no no, mohunu no.
Koma pamene anali pa mavuto anatembenukira kwa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli ndi kufunafuna Iye, ndipo anamupeza.
5 Saa esum berɛ no mu, na akwantuo yɛ hu. Na ɔhaw wɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa.
Masiku amenewo sikunali kwabwino kuyenda ulendo, pakuti anthu onse okhala mʼdziko anali pa mavuto aakulu.
6 Akodie baa Ɔman ne ɔman ntam, kuropɔn ne kuropɔn ntam, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade maa ɔhaw ahodoɔ bebree baa mo so.
Mtundu umodzi umakanthidwa ndi mtundu wina ndipo mzinda wina umakanthidwa ndi mzinda wina, pakuti Mulungu amawasautsa ndi mazunzo a mtundu uliwonse.
7 Na afei, mo Yuda mmarima, mo ho nyɛ den, monnya akokoɔduru, na mobɛnya mo adwumayɛ so akatua.”
Koma inu, khalani amphamvu ndipo musataye mtima, pakuti mudzalandira mphotho ya ntchito yanu.”
8 Ɛberɛ a Asa tee saa asɛm yi firii odiyifoɔ Oded babarima Asaria nkyɛn no, ɔnyaa akokoɔduru, yiyii ahoni a ɛwɔ Yuda asase so ne Benyamin nyinaa ne nkuro a wako afa a ɛwowɔ Efraim bepɔ nsase so no. Ɔsiesiee Awurade afɔrebukyia a na ɛsi Awurade Asɔredan ntwonoo anim no.
Asa atamva mawu awa ndiponso uneneri wa Azariya mwana wa Odedi, analimba mtima. Iye anachotsa mafano onse onyansa mʼdziko lonse la Yuda ndi Benjamini ndi mʼmizinda yonse imene analanda a ku mapiri a Efereimu. Iye anakonzetsa guwa lansembe la Yehova limene linali kutsogolo kwa khonde la Nyumba ya Mulungu.
9 Afei, Asa frɛfrɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Benyamin nyinaa. Ɔfrɛɛ nnipa a wɔfiri Efraim, Manase ne Simeon a wɔabɛtena wɔn mu no nso. Bebree tutu kɔtenaa Yuda wɔ Ɔhene Asa berɛ so, ɛfiri sɛ wɔhunuu sɛ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn ka ne ho.
Kenaka anasonkhanitsa anthu onse a ku Yuda ndi Benjamini ndiponso anthu ochokera ku Efereimu, Manase ndi Simeoni amene ankakhala pakati pawo, pakuti gulu lalikulu linabwera kwa iye kuchokera ku Israeli litaona kuti anali ndi Yehova Mulungu wake.
10 Ɛrekɔ bosome a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa awieeɛ no mu a na Asa adi adeɛ mfeɛ dunum no, nnipa no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Yerusalem.
Iwo anasonkhana mu Yerusalemu mwezi wachitatu wa chaka cha 15 cha ulamuliro wa Asa.
11 Saa ɛda no, wɔde mmoa a wɔkyekyeree wɔn ɔko mu no bi bɔɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ. Na mmoa no dodoɔ yɛ anantwie ahanson a nnwan ne mpɔnkye nso dodoɔ yɛ mpem nson.
Pa nthawi imeneyi anapereka nsembe kwa Yehova, ngʼombe 700 ndiponso nkhosa ndi mbuzi 7,000 zochokera pa zolanda ku nkhondo zimene anabweretsa.
12 Afei, wɔfiri wɔn akoma ne wɔn kra nyinaa mu yɛɛ apam sɛ wɔbɛhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
Iwo anachita pangano loti azifunafuna Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo, ndi mtima ndi moyo wawo wonse.
13 Wɔpenee so sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛpo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn no, wɔbɛkum no, sɛ ɔnnyiniiɛ anaa wanyini, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa.
Aliyense wosafunafuna Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli aziphedwa, kaya ndi wamngʼono kapena wamkulu, mwamuna kapena mkazi.
14 Wɔhyɛnee ntotorobɛnto ne mmɛn dendeenden, de dii Awurade nokorɛdie ntam no ho adanseɛ.
Iwo analumbira kwa Yehova, mokweza mawu, akuyimba malipenga ndi mbetete.
15 Wɔn nyinaa ani gyee saa apam yi ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔfiri wɔn akoma nyinaa mu na ɛyɛeɛ. Wɔpere hwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn, na wɔhunuu no. Na Awurade maa wɔn ahomegyeɛ firii wɔn atamfoɔ a wɔwɔ afanan nyinaa nsam.
Anthu onse a ku Yuda anakondwera pa kulumbirako chifukwa analumbira ndi mtima wawo wonse. Iwo anafunafuna Mulungu mwachidwi, ndipo anamupeza Iye. Kotero Yehova anawapatsa mpumulo mbali zonse.
16 Mpo ɔhene Asa tuu ne nanabaa Maaka firii ahemaadwa no so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsii Asera afɔrebukyia a ɛyɛ atantanneɛ. Ɔtwaa dua no, bubuu mu, hyee no wɔ Kidron bɔnhwa mu.
Mfumu Asa anachotsanso Maaka agogo ake pa udindo wa amayi a mfumu chifukwa anapanga fano lonyansa la Asera. Asa anagwetsa fanolo, naliswa ndipo kenaka anakaliwotcha ku chigwa cha Kidroni.
17 Ɛwom sɛ wɔantutu abosonsom asɔreeɛ no nyinaa amfiri Israel deɛ, nanso Asa de ne ho nyinaa maa Awurade ne nkwa nna nyinaa.
Ngakhale kuti sanachotse malo opembedzerako mafano mu Israeli, mtima wa Asa unali wodzipereka kwathunthu kwa Yehova, masiku onse a moyo wake.
18 Ɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ne nneɛma ahodoɔ a ɔne nʼagya de maa Awurade no baa Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu.
Iye anabweretsanso mʼNyumba ya Mulungu zipangizo zasiliva, golide ndi ziwiya zina zimene iyeyo ndi abambo ake anazipatula.
19 Enti, ɔko ansi bio kɔsii Asa adedie afe a ɛtɔ so aduasa enum no so.
Panalibenso nkhondo mpaka chaka cha 35 cha ufumu wa Asa.
