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.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, acted aggressively against Judah and built up Ramah, so that he might not allow anyone to leave or enter into the land of Asa, king of Judah.
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.
Then Asa brought the silver and gold out of the storerooms in the house of Yahweh and of the king's house, and sent it to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus. He said,
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.”
“Let there be a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you silver and gold. Break your covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may leave me alone.”
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.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Kane Baasha owinjo mano, nochungo gero Rama kendo nojwangʼo tije.
It came about that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building up Ramah, and let his work cease.
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 Asa the king took all Judah with him. They carried away the stones and timbers of Ramah with which Baasha had been building up the city. Then King Asa used that building material to build up Geba and Mizpah.
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.
At that time Hanani the seer went to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of 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 Cushites and the Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he gave you victory over them.
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 Yahweh run everywhere throughout the whole earth, so that he might show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect toward him. But you have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, you will have war.”
10 Asa ne iye owangʼ gi janen nikech wachni, nokecho kode ahinya mokete e twech. To bende e ndalogo Asa nochako sando jomoko malit.
Then Asa was angry with the seer; he put him into prison, for he was angry with him over this matter. At the same time, Asa oppressed some of the people.
11 Weche mag loch Asa kar, chakruokgi nyaka gikogi, ondikgi e kitap ruodhi mag Juda kod Israel.
Behold, the deeds of Asa, from first to last, behold, they are 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.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was very severe, he did not seek help from Yahweh, but only from the physicians.
13 Asa notho moyweyo kod kwerene e higa mar piero angʼwen gi achiel mar lochne,
So Asa slept with his ancestors, dying 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.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier that was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by skilled perfumers. Then they made a very great fire in his honor.
