1UMoya kaThixo wamfikela uAzariya, unyana kaOdede. 2Waphuma, esiya kukhawulela uAsa, wathi kuye, Ndiphulaphuleni, Asa, nani nonke maYuda namaBhenjamin; uYehova unáni ekubeni ninaye; ukuba nithe namquqela, nomfumana; ukuba nithe namshiya, wonishiya nani. 3AmaSirayeli ayenemihla emininzi engenaThixo wenyaniso, engenambingeleli uyalayo, engenamthetho. 4Ke athi ekubandezelekeni kwawo, akubuyela kuYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuba amquqele, amfumana. 5Ngaloo maxesha kwakungekho luxolo kophumayo nakongenayo, zaba ziziphithiphithi ezikhulu kubemi bonke bamazwe. 6Uhlanga lwaqotywa luhlanga, umzi ngumzi; ngokuba uThixo wabadubaduba ngeembandezelo zonke. 7Ke nina yomelelani; mazingawi izandla zenu; ngokuba umsebenzi wenu unomvuzo.
8Wathi uAsa, akuweva loo mazwi nesiprofeto sikaOdede umprofeti, womelela, wazikhwelelisa zonke izinto ezinezothe ezweni lonke lakwaYuda nelakwaBhenjamin, nasemizini abeyithimbile kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim; wasihlaziya isibingelelo sikaYehova, esiphambi kwevaranda• kaYehova. 9Wawahlanganisa onke amaYuda namaBhenjamin nabasemzini ababekuwo, bakwaEfrayim, nabakwaManase, nabakwaSimon; ngokuba bagalela kuye abakwaSirayeli babaninzi, bakubona ukuba uYehova uThixo wakhe unaye.
10Babuthelana ke eYerusalem ngenyanga yesithathu, ngomnyaka weshumi elinesihlanu wobukumkani buka-Asa, 11babingelela kuYehova ngaloo mhla, bethabatha kumaxhoba ababeze nawo: amakhulu asixhenxe eenkomo, namawaka asixhenxe empahla emfutshane. 12Benza umnqophiso wokumquqela uYehova, uThixo wooyise, ngentliziyo yabo yonke, nangomphefumlo wabo wonke; bathi, 13Bonke abasukuba bengamquqeli uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, mababulawe, kuthabathele komncinane kuse komkhulu; kuthabathele kwindoda kuse kwinkazana. 14Bafunga kuYehova ngezwi elikhulu, nangokuduma, nangamaxilongo, nangezigodlo. 15Asivuyela onke amaYuda isifungo eso; ngokuba afunga ngentliziyo yawo yonke, amquqela ngemvume yawo yonke, amfumana; uYehova wawaphumza ngeenxa zonke.
16Kananjalo ukumkani wamguzula uMahaka unina, ukuba angabi saba yinkosikazi; ngokokuba wayemenzele uAshera• isithixo esilisikizi. Waza uAsa wasixhaxha isithixo sakhe, wasithi vithivithi, wasitshisa emlanjaneni oyiKidron. 17Ke izigánga àzisuswanga kwaSirayeli; kodwa yona intliziyo ka-Asa yabe igqibelele yonke imihla yakhe. 18Wazingenisa izinto ezingcwele zikayise, nezinto zakhe ezingcwele, endlwini kaThixo, isilivere, negolide, nempahla.
19Akwaba sabakho mfazwe, kwada kwaba ngumnyaka wamashumi amathathu anesihlanu wobukumkani buka-Asa.
