Nyirakuru yitwaga Maka+ akaba yari umwuzukuru wa Abishalomu. 11 Asa yakoze ibyo Yehova ashaka+ nk’uko sekuruza Dawidi yabigenje. 12 Yirukanye mu gihugu abagabo b’indaya bo mu rusengero,+ akuraho n’ibigirwamana byose biteye iseseme* byari byarakozwe na ba sekuruza.+ 13 Ndetse yakuye nyirakuru Maka+ ku mwanya yari afite wo kuba umugabekazi,* kuko yari yarakoze igishushanyo giteye iseseme cyakoreshwaga mu gusenga inkingi y’igiti.* Hanyuma Asa atema icyo gishushanyo giteye iseseme+ agitwikira mu kibaya cya Kidironi.+ 14 Ariko ahantu hirengeye ho gusengera ntihavuyeho.+ Icyakora Asa yakoreye Yehova n’umutima we wose,* igihe cyose yari akiriho. 15 Nuko azana ibintu byose we na papa we bari bareguriye Imana, abishyira mu nzu ya Yehova, ni ukuvuga ifeza, zahabu n’ibindi bikoresho.+
16 Hahoraga haba intambara hagati y’igihugu cya Asa n’icya Basha+ umwami wa Isirayeli. 17 Nuko Basha umwami wa Isirayeli atera u Buyuda maze atangira kubaka* Rama,+ kugira ngo abantu bajya kwa Asa umwami w’u Buyuda cyangwa abavayo* batabona aho banyura.+ 18 Asa abibonye afata ifeza na zahabu byose byari bibitse mu nzu ya Yehova no mu nzu* y’umwami, abiha abagaragu be. Umwami Asa abatuma kwa Beni-hadadi umuhungu wa Taburimoni, umuhungu wa Heziyoni, umwami wa Siriya+ wari utuye i Damasiko, aramubwira ati: 19 “Njye nawe twagiranye amasezerano kandi papa na papa wawe na bo bari barayagiranye. Dore nkoherereje impano z’ifeza na zahabu. None reka amasezerano wagiranye na Basha umwami wa Isirayeli, kugira ngo andeke.” 20 Beni-hadadi yemera ibyo Umwami Asa amusabye, yohereza abakuru b’ingabo be batera imijyi ya Isirayeli, batsinda Iyoni,+ Dani,+ Abeli-beti-maka, i Kinereti hose n’igihugu cy’abakomoka kuri Nafutali cyose. 21 Basha akimara kubyumva ahagarika kubaka Rama, akomeza gutura i Tirusa.+ 22 Umwami Asa atumiza Abayuda bose, ntihagira n’umwe usigara. Bazanye amabuye n’ibiti Basha yubakishaga Rama, Umwami Asa abyubakisha* Geba+ yo mu karere k’abakomoka kuri Benyamini na Misipa.+

Ariko Asa amaze gusaza yarwaye ibirenge.+ 24 Nuko Asa arapfa* bamushyingura hamwe na ba sekuruza, mu mujyi wa sekuruza Dawidi. Umuhungu we Yehoshafati+ aramusimbura aba umwami.
25 Nadabu+ umuhungu wa Yerobowamu yabaye umwami muri Isirayeli mu mwaka wa kabiri w’ubutegetsi bwa Asa, umwami w’u Buyuda. Nadabu yamaze imyaka ibiri ari umwami wa Isirayeli. 26 Yakomeje gukora ibyo Yehova yanga, yigana papa we,+ akora ibyaha nk’ibyo yakoze n’ibyo yatumye Abisirayeli bakora.+ 27 Basha umuhungu wa Ahiya wo mu muryango wa Isakari aramugambanira, amwicira i Gibetoni,+ umujyi w’Abafilisitiya, igihe Nadabu n’Abisirayeli bose bari bagose Gibetoni. 28 Basha yishe Nadabu mu mwaka wa gatatu w’ubutegetsi bwa Asa umwami w’u Buyuda, aramusimbura aba umwami. 29 Akimara kuba umwami yishe abo mu muryango wa Yerobowamu bose. Nta muntu n’umwe ukomoka kuri Yerobowamu yasize agihumeka. Yarabishe bose arabamara, nk’uko Yehova yari yarabivuze, akoresheje umugaragu we Ahiya w’i Shilo.+ 30 Ibyo byose byatewe n’ibyaha Yerobowamu we ubwe yakoze n’ibyo yatumye Abisirayeli bakora no kuba yari yararakaje cyane Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli. 31 Andi mateka ya Nadabu, ni ukuvuga ibintu byose yakoze, byanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami ba Isirayeli. 32 Hahoraga intambara hagati y’igihugu cya Asa n’icya Basha umwami wa Isirayeli.+
