Nanso wɔn bo fuu Yuda paa, na wɔde abufuo kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
11 Ɛnna Amasia de akokoɔduro dii ne dɔm anim kɔɔ Nkyene Bɔn no mu,+ na ɔkunkum Seir mmarima 10,000.+ 12 Na Yuda mmarima kyee wɔn mu 10,000 anikan, na wɔde wɔn kɔɔ ɔbotan atifi kɔtoo wɔn firii hɔ bɛhwehwee fam, na wɔn nyinaa mu teteeɛ. 13 Na asraafoɔ a Amasia maa wɔsan wɔn akyi a ɔne wɔn ankɔ ɛko no,+ wɔn nso kɔto hyɛɛ Yuda nkuro so, ɛfiri Samaria+ kɔsi Bet-Horon.+ Wɔkunkum emu nnipa 3,000 sesaa nneɛma bebree kɔe.
14 Berɛ a Amasia kɔkunkum Edomfoɔ wieeɛ a ɔreba no, ɔfaa Seir mmarima anyame no bae, na ɔde bɛsisii hɔ de yɛɛ n’anyame,+ na ɔfirii aseɛ kotoo wɔn hyee afɔrebɔdeɛ maa wɔn. 15 Ɛno nti Yehowa bo fuu Amasia dendeenden, na ɔsomaa odiyifoɔ bi kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Adɛn nti na woakɔdi nkurɔfoɔ no anyame akyi, anyame a wɔantumi annye wɔn ankasa nkurɔfoɔ amfiri wo nsam?”+ 16 N’ano ansi na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Wo na yɛayi wo sɛ ɔhene fotufoɔ anaa?+ Twa so!+ Adɛn nti na worebɛyɛ ama wɔaku wo?” Ɛnna odiyifoɔ no twaa so, nanso ɔkaa sɛ: “Menim sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔ ne tirim sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wo, enti na woayɛ wei na m’afotuo nso woantie no.”+
17 Yuda hene Amasia ne n’afotufoɔ tuu agyina na ɔde nkra kɔmaa Israel hene Yehu ba Yehoahas ba Yehoas sɛ: “Bra ma yɛmfa mmɔ ani.”*+ 18 Israel hene Yehoas nso de nkra kɔmaa Yuda hene Amasia sɛ: “Lebanon nkasɛɛ-nkasɛɛ soma kɔka kyerɛɛ Lebanon sida dua sɛ, ‘Fa wo babaa ma me babarima awareɛ.’ Nanso, Lebanon wuram aboa bi a ɔretwam tiatiaa nkasɛɛ-nkasɛɛ no so sɛee no pasaa. 19 Woaka sɛ, ‘Maka* Edom agu.’+ Enti w’akoma ama ne ho so rehoahoa ne ho na worepɛ animuonyam.

20 Nanso Amasia antie,+ ɛfiri sɛ Edom anyame a wɔkɔdii wɔn akyi nti,+ na nokorɛ Nyankopɔn no pɛ sɛ ɔde wɔn hyɛ atamfo nsa.+ 21 Enti Israel hene Yehoas kɔe, na ɔne Yuda hene Amasia de kɔbɔɔ ani wɔ Bet-Semes+ wɔ Yuda asaase so. 22 Yuda dii nkoguo wɔ Israel anim maa obiara dwane kɔɔ ne fie.* 23 Israel hene Yehoas kyee Yuda hene Amasia a ɔyɛ Yehoas ba a ɔno nso yɛ Yehoahas* ba no wɔ Bet-Semes.
