15 (A)Awo Omwoyo wa Katonda n’akka ku Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi, 2 (B)n’agenda n’asisinkana Asa n’amugamba nti, “Mumpulirize, mmwe Asa, ne Yuda ne Benyamini mwenna, Mukama ali nammwe bwe muba mu ye. Bwe munaamunoonyanga, munaamulabanga, naye bwe munaamulekuliranga naye anaabalekuliranga. 3 (C)Isirayiri yamala ebbanga ddene nga tegondera Katonda ow’amazima, nga tebalina kabona abayigiriza, wadde okuba n’amateeka. 4 (D)Naye wakati mu nnaku yaabwe ne bakyukira Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, ne bamunoonya, era ne bamulaba. 5 (E)Mu biro ebyo tewaali mirembe abantu okutambula nga bwe baayagalanga, kubanga baali mu kweraliikirira kungi nnyo. 6 (F)Amawanga n’amawanga gaalwanagananga, n’ebibuga ne birumbagananga kubanga Katonda yabaleetako ebizibu bingi nnyo. 7 (G)Naye mmwe mugume omwoyo! Temuganya mikono gyammwe kunafuwa kubanga omulimu gwammwe guliko empeera.”
8 (H)Awo Asa bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo, n’ebyobunnabbi bwa Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi, n’aguma omwoyo, n’aggyawo ebifaananyi ebyole okuva mu nsi yonna eya Yuda ne Benyamini, n’okuva mu bibuga bye yali awambye mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu. N’addaabiriza ekyoto kya Mukama ekyali mu maaso g’ekisasi ekya yeekaalu ya Mukama. 9 (I)N’akuŋŋaanya aba Yuda n’aba Benyamini bonna, n’abantu b’e Efulayimu, n’e Manase, n’e Simyoni abaabeeranga nabo, kubanga bangi basenga gyali okuva mu Isirayiri bwe baalaba nga Mukama Katonda ali wamu naye.
10 Ne bakuŋŋaanira e Yerusaalemi mu mwezi ogwokusatu mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ettaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa. 11 (J)Ku lunaku olwo ne bawaayo eri Mukama ebimu ku by’omunyago: ente lusanvu, n’endiga n’embuzi zonna kasanvu. 12 (K)Ne beeyama okunoonyanga Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe, n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, n’emmeeme yaabwe yonna. 13 (L)Era abo bonna abatanoonyanga Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri battibwanga, oba bato oba bakulu, oba bakazi oba basajja. 14 Ne balayirira Mukama mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, wamu n’okufuuwa amakondeere n’eŋŋombe. 15 (M)Yuda yonna ne basanyukira ekirayiro ekyo, kubanga baali balayidde n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, era nga bamunoonyezza n’okwagala kwabwe kwonna, ne bamulaba. Era Mukama n’abawa emirembe enjuuyi zonna.
16 (N)Kabaka Asa n’agoba jjajjaawe Maaka ku bwannamasole kubanga yali akoze ekifaananyi ekyole ekya Asera. Asa n’akitemaatema n’akimenyaamenya, n’akyokera mu kagga Kidulooni. 17 Newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo ebigulumivu mu Isirayiri, Asa yamalirira mu mutima gwe okunywerera ku Mukama ennaku ze zonna. 18 Mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’aleetamu effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ye ne kitaawe bye baawonga.
19 Ne wataba ntalo nate okumala emyaka amakumi asatu mu etaano egy’obufuzi bwa Asa.

Asa’s Reform(A)
15 The Spirit of God came on(B) Azariah son of Oded. 2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you(C) when you are with him.(D) If you seek(E) him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.(F) 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach(G) and without the law.(H) 4 But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him,(I) and he was found by them. 5 In those days it was not safe to travel about,(J) for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 6 One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another,(K) because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. 7 But as for you, be strong(L) and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”(M)
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of[a] Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols(N) from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured(O) in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar(P) of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.
9 Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers(Q) had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month(R) of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder(S) they had brought back. 12 They entered into a covenant(T) to seek the Lord,(U) the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. 13 All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death,(V) whether small or great, man or woman. 14 They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God(W) eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest(X) on every side.
16 King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah(Y) from her position as queen mother,(Z) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah.(AA) Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.(AB) 17 Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life. 18 He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(AC)
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
