2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, invaded Judah. He fortified Ramah to stop anyone coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
A shekara ta talatin da shida ta mulkin Asa, Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila ya haura don yă yaƙi Yahuda da Rama mai katanga, don kuma yă hana wani daga fita ko shiga yankin Asa sarkin Yahuda.
2 Asa took the silver and gold from the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and the king's palace and sent them to Ben-hadad, king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, with a message that said:
Sai Asa ya ɗauki azurfa da zinariya daga ma’ajin haikalin Ubangiji da kuma na fadansa ya aika wa Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram, wanda yake mulki a Damaskus.
3 “Make an alliance between me and you like the one between my father and your father. Look at the silver and gold I've sent you. Go ahead and break your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will leave me and go home.”
Ya ce, “Bari yarjejjeniya ta kasance tsakani na da kai kamar yadda ya kasance tsakanin mahaifina da mahaifinka. Dubi ina aika maka azurfa da zinariya. Yanzu ka yanke yarjejjeniya da Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila domin yă janye daga gare ni.”
4 King Ben-hadad did as Asa had asked, and he sent his armies and their commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the storehouse towns of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadad ya yarda da Sarki Asa ya kuma aika da manyan hafsoshin mayaƙansa a kan garuruwan Isra’ila. Suka ci Iyon, Dan, Abel-Mayim da kuma dukan biranen ajiya na Naftali.
5 When Baasha heard about it, he stopped fortifying Ramah and gave up his project.
Da Ba’asha ya ji wannan, ya daina ginin Rama ya yashe aikinsa.
6 So King Asa went with all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building, and with them he built up Geba and Mizpah.
Sa’an nan Sarki Asa ya kawo dukan mutanen Yahuda, suka kuma kwashe duwatsu da katako daga Rama waɗanda Ba’asha yake amfani da su. Da su ne Asa ya gina Geba da Mizfa.
7 But right then Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and told him, “Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram and have not put your trust in the Lord your God, your opportunity to destroy the army of the king of Aram has gone.
A lokacin Hanani mai duba ya zo wurin Asa sarkin Yahuda ya ce masa, “Don ka dogara ga sarkin Aram, ba kuwa ga Ubangiji Allahnka ba ne mayaƙan sarkin Aram sun kuɓuce daga hannunka.
8 Didn't the Ethiopians and Libyans have a huge army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you trusted in the Lord, he made you victorious over them.
Ai, Kushawa da Libiyawa rundunar sojoji ne masu yawan gaske, suna kuma da kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai masu yawa ƙwarai. Amma duk da haka, saboda ka dogara ga Ubangiji, ya kuwa ba da su cikin hannunka.
9 For the Lord looks all over the earth for the opportunity to show his power on behalf of those who are completely and sincerely devoted to him. You have acted stupidly in doing this. So from now on you will always be at war.”
Gama gaban Ubangiji yana ko’ina a duniya don yă ƙarfafa waɗanda zukatansu suke binsa cikin aminci. Ka yi wauta, daga yanzu nan gaba za ka yi ta yaƙi.”
10 Asa was angry with the seer. He was so angry with him over this that he put him in prison. At this same time Asa started to mistreat some of the people.
Sai Asa ya yi fushi sosai da mai duban saboda wannan; ya yi fushi ƙwarai har ya sa aka jefa shi a kurkuku. A lokaci guda kuma Asa ya fara gwada wa mutane azaba.
11 The rest of what Asa did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Ayyukan mulkin Asa, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, suna a rubuce a littafin sarakunan Yahuda da Isra’ila.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa had trouble with disease in his feet, which only became worse and worse. Yet even in his sickness he did not turn to the Lord, but only the physicians.
A shekara ta talatin da tara ta mulkinsa, Asa ya kamu da wata cuta a ƙafarsa. Ko da yake cutar ta yi tsanani, duk d haka ma a cikin ciwonsa bai nemi taimako daga Ubangiji ba, sai dai daga likitoci.
13 Asa died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Sa’an nan a shekara ta arba’in da ɗaya ta mulkinsa, Asa ya mutu ya kuma huta tare da kakanninsa.
14 He was buried in the tomb that he had prepared for himself in the City of David. They placed him on a bed full of spices, perfumed oils, and fragrances. Then they made a great fire to honor him.
Suka binne shi a kabarin da ya fafe wa kansa a Birnin Dawuda. Suka sa shi a makara wadda aka rufe da kayan yaji da kuma turare dabam-dabam da aka niƙa, suka kuma ƙuna babbar wuta don girmama shi.
