2 Weche Mag Ndalo 16
1 E higa mar piero adek gabich mar loch Asa, Baasha ruodh Israel nodhi kedo kod Juda kendo nochielo Rama motegno mondo ogengʼ ni ngʼato angʼata kik wuogi kata donji e piny Asa ruodh Juda.
Then, in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he encircled Ramah with a wall, so that no one could safely depart or enter from the kingdom of Asa.
2 Eka Asa nokawo fedha gi dhahabu e kuonde keno mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi mago manokano e ode moorogi ne Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram manodak Damaski.
Therefore, Asa brought forth silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and from the treasuries of the king. And he sent to Benhadad, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:
3 Nowachone niya, “Winjruok mondo obedie kindi koda mana kaka nobedo e kind wuonwa gi wuonu. Aoroni mich mag fedha gi dhahabu, koro keth winjruok mantie e kindi gi Baasha ruodh Israel mondo mi owe kedo koda.”
“There is a pact between me and you. Also, my father and your father had an agreement. For this reason, I have sent silver and gold to you, so that you may break the pact that you have with Baasha, the king of Israel, and so that you may cause him to withdraw from me.”
4 Ben-Hadad noyie gi Ruoth Asa kendo nooro jotende mag lweny mondo omonj mier madongo mag Israel. Negiloyo Ijon, gi Dan kod Abel Maim kaachiel gi mier mag madongo mag keno mag Naftali.
And when he verified this, Benhadad sent the leaders of his armies to the cities of Israel. And they struck Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Naphtali.
5 Kane Baasha owinjo mano, nochungo gero Rama kendo nojwangʼo tije.
And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.
6 Eka Ruoth Asa nokelo jo-Juda duto kendo negikawo kite duto kod yiende mane Baasha osebedo katiyogo Rama kendo notiyo kodgi kuom gero Geba kod Mizpa.
Then king Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the wood that Baasha had prepared for the things to be built. And he built up Gibeah and Mizpah with them.
7 E ndalogo Hanani janen nobiro ir Asa ruodh Juda mowachone niya, “Nikech nigeno kuom ruodh Aram ma ok kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi, jolweny mag ruodh Aram osetony oa e lweti.
In that time, the prophet Hanani went to Asa, the king of Judah, and he said to him: “Because you have faith in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
8 Donge jo-Kush kod jo-Libya ne ni kod jolweny motegno man kod geche lweny mangʼeny kod joriemb farese? To kane igeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye, to nochiwogi e lweti.
Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceedingly great multitude? Yet when you believed in the Lord, he delivered them into your hand.
9 Nimar wenge Jehova Nyasaye ngʼiyo piny duto koni gi koni mondo ojiw joma chunygi oyie kuome chutho. Isetimo gima ofuwo omiyo chakre sani ibiro bedo gi lweny.”
For the eyes of the Lord contemplate the entire earth, and offer fortitude to those who believe in him with a perfect heart. And so, you acted foolishly. And so, because of this, from the present time wars shall rise up against you.”
10 Asa ne iye owangʼ gi janen nikech wachni, nokecho kode ahinya mokete e twech. To bende e ndalogo Asa nochako sando jomoko malit.
And Asa was angry against the seer, and he ordered him to be sent into prison. For indeed, he had been very indignant over this. And in that time, he put to death very many of the people.
11 Weche mag loch Asa kar, chakruokgi nyaka gikogi, ondikgi e kitap ruodhi mag Juda kod Israel.
But the works of Asa, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 E higa mar piero adek gochiko mar loch Asa, tuo nogoye gi e tiende, kendo kata obedo ni tuoneno ne lich to e tuoneno ne ok omanyo kony ir Jehova Nyasaye to mana kuom jothieth.
And now Asa became ill, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, with a very severe pain in his feet. And yet, in his infirmity, he did not seek the Lord. Instead, he trusted more in the skill of physicians.
13 Asa notho moyweyo kod kwerene e higa mar piero angʼwen gi achiel mar lochne,
And he slept with his fathers. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 kendo negi yike e liel mane okunyo e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Negipiele e kitanda mopongʼ kod gik mangʼwe ngʼar moruw maber kendo negiloso magenga maduongʼ ka imiyego duongʼ.
And they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the City of David. And they placed him upon his bed, full of the aromatics and ointments of courtesans, which were composed with the skill of the perfumers. And they burned these over him with very great ostentation.
