1 Na Onyankopɔn honhom baa Oded babarima Asaria so,
UMoya kaNkulunkulu wasesehlela phezu kukaAzariya indodana kaOdedi.
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.
Wasephuma ukuhlangabezana loAsa, wathi kuye: Ngilalela, Asa loJuda wonke loBhenjamini; iNkosi ilani liselayo. Uba-ke liyidinga, izafunyanwa yini; kodwa uba liyilahla, izalilahla.
3 Teteete no, na Israel nni nokorɛ Onyankopɔn, na wɔnni ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn, na wɔnni Onyankopɔn mmara nso.
Okwensuku ezinengi uIsrayeli wayengelaye uNkulunkulu weqiniso, njalo engelaye umpristi ofundisayo, njalo engelawo umlayo.
4 Nanso, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛkɔ ahohiahia mu na mobɛkɔ Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn nkyɛn, na moahwehwɛ no no, mohunu no.
Kodwa ekubandezelweni kwakhe waphendukela eNkosini, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, basebemdinga, wasefunyanwa yibo.
5 Saa esum berɛ no mu, na akwantuo yɛ hu. Na ɔhaw wɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa.
Langalezozikhathi kwakungelakuthula kophumayo lakongenayo, ngoba inhlupheko ezinengi zaziphezu kwabo bonke abakhi bamazwe.
6 Akodie baa Ɔman ne ɔman ntam, kuropɔn ne kuropɔn ntam, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade maa ɔhaw ahodoɔ bebree baa mo so.
Basebephahlazwa, isizwe ngesizwe, lomuzi ngomuzi, ngoba uNkulunkulu wabahlupha ngayo yonke imbandezelo.
7 Na afei, mo Yuda mmarima, mo ho nyɛ den, monnya akokoɔduru, na mobɛnya mo adwumayɛ so akatua.”
Ngakho lina qinani, zingadangali izandla zenu, ngoba kulomvuzo ngomsebenzi wenu.
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.
Lapho uAsa esizwa lamazwi lesiprofetho sikaOdedi umprofethi, waziqinisa, wasusa izinengiso elizweni lonke lakoJuda loBhenjamini lemizini ayeyithumbile entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wavuselela ilathi leNkosi elalingaphambi kwekhulusi leNkosi.
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.
Wasebuthanisa wonke uJuda loBhenjamini labemzini labo ababevela koEfrayimi loManase lakoSimeyoni; ngoba bawelela kuye bevela koIsrayeli ngobunengi lapho bebona ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe yayilaye.
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.
Basebebuthana eJerusalema ngenyanga yesithathu ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kukaAsa.
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.
Basebehlabela iNkosi ngalolosuku okwempango ababeyilethile, inkabi ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa lezimvu ezizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa.
12 Afei, wɔfiri wɔn akoma ne wɔn kra nyinaa mu yɛɛ apam sɛ wɔbɛhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
Basebengena esivumelwaneni sokudinga iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, ngenhliziyo yabo yonke langomphefumulo wabo wonke.
13 Wɔpenee so sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛpo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn no, wɔbɛkum no, sɛ ɔnnyiniiɛ anaa wanyini, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa.
Njalo wonke ongadingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli uzabulawa, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu, kusukela kowesilisa kusiya kowesifazana.
14 Wɔhyɛnee ntotorobɛnto ne mmɛn dendeenden, de dii Awurade nokorɛdie ntam no ho adanseɛ.
Basebefunga eNkosini ngelizwi elikhulu langokumemeza langezimpondo langempondo zezinqama.
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.
AbakoJuda bonke bathokoza-ke ngesifungo, ngoba babefungile ngenhliziyo yabo yonke, beyidingile ngaso sonke isifiso sabo, yasifunyanwa yibo; ngakho iNkosi yabaphumuza inhlangothi zonke.
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.
Njalo mayelana loMahaka unina kaAsa inkosi, yamsusa ekubeni yindlovukazi, ngoba wayenzele isixuku into enengekayo. UAsa wasegamula into yakhe enengekayo, wayichola, wayitshisela esifuleni iKidroni.
17 Ɛwom sɛ wɔantutu abosonsom asɔreeɛ no nyinaa amfiri Israel deɛ, nanso Asa de ne ho nyinaa maa Awurade ne nkwa nna nyinaa.
Kanti indawo eziphakemeyo kazisuswanga koIsrayeli; lanxa kunjalo inhliziyo kaAsa yayiphelele insuku zakhe zonke.
18 Ɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ne nneɛma ahodoɔ a ɔne nʼagya de maa Awurade no baa Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu.
Wasengenisa endlini kaNkulunkulu izinto ezingcwele zikayise, lezinto zakhe ezingcwele, isiliva legolide lezitsha.
19 Enti, ɔko ansi bio kɔsii Asa adedie afe a ɛtɔ so aduasa enum no so.
Kakusabanga khona impi kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu wokubusa kukaAsa.
