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.
Ní ọdún kẹrìndínlógójì ìjọba Asa, Baaṣa ọba Israẹli gòkè wá sí Juda ó sì kọlu Rama, láti ma bá a jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni lè jáde tàbí wọlé tọ Asa ọba Juda lọ.
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:
Nígbà náà ni Asa mú wúrà àti fàdákà jáde nínú ilé ìṣúra ilé Olúwa àti ààfin ọba ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Beni-Hadadi ọba Siria, ẹni tí ń gbé ní Damasku, ó wí pé,
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.”
“Májẹ̀mú kan wà láàrín èmi àti ìrẹ, bí ó ti wà láàrín baba mi àti baba rẹ. Ẹ wò ó, mo fi wúrà àti fàdákà ránṣẹ́ sí ọ; lọ, ba májẹ̀mú tí o bá Baaṣa ọba Israẹli dá jẹ́, kí ó lè lọ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
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.
Beni-Hadadi sì gbọ́ ti Asa ọba, ó sì rán àwọn olórí ogun rẹ̀ lọ sí àwọn ìlú Israẹli, wọ́n sì kọlu Ijoni, Dani, Abeli-Maimu, àti gbogbo ìlú ìṣúra Naftali.
5 When Baasha heard about it, he stopped fortifying Ramah and gave up his project.
Nígbà tí Baaṣa gbọ́ èyí, ó sì dá kíkọ́ Rama dúró, ó sì dá iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró.
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.
Nígbà náà ní ọba Asa kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda jọ, wọ́n sì kó òkúta àti igi Rama lọ èyí ti Baaṣa ń fi kọ́lé; ó sì fi kọ́ Geba àti Mispa.
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.
Ní àkókò náà wòlíì Hanani wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Asa ọba Juda, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Nítorí tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọba Siria, ìwọ kò sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, nítorí náà ni ogún ọba Siria ṣe bọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ.
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.
Àwa kì í ṣe ará Etiopia àti àwọn ará Libia àwọn alágbára ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin? Síbẹ̀ nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa yóò sì fi wọ́n lé ọwọ́ rẹ.
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.”
Nítorí ojú Olúwa yí gbogbo ayé ká láti fi agbára fún àwọn ẹni tí ó ní ọkàn pípé sí i. Ìwọ ti ṣe ohun aṣiwèrè, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ìwọ yóò wà lójú ogun.”
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.
Asa sì bínú pẹ̀lú sí wòlíì nítorí èyí, ó sì mú un bínú gidigidi tí ó sì fi mú un sínú túbú. Ní àkókò náà Asa sì ni díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ènìyàn náà lára.
11 The rest of what Asa did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Àwọn iṣẹ́ ìjọba Asa, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ni akọ sínú ìwé ọba Juda àti Israẹli.
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.
Ní ọdún kọkàndínlógójì ìjọba rẹ̀, Asa sì ṣe àìsàn pẹ̀lú ààrùn nínú ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀. Bi ó tilẹ̀ jẹ pé ààrùn rẹ̀ lágbára, síbẹ̀ kódà nínú àìsàn rẹ̀ kò wá ìrànlọ́wọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n lọ́dọ̀ àwọn oníṣègùn nìkan.
13 Asa died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Nígbà náà tí ó pé ọdún kọ́kànlélógójì rẹ̀, Asa kú, ó sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjọba baba rẹ̀,
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.
wọ́n sì sin ín sínú isà òkú tí ó ti gbẹ́ jáde fún ara rẹ̀ ní ìlú Dafidi. Wọ́n sì tẹ sí orí àkéte tí ó fi òórùn dídùn kún, àti onírúurú tùràrí tí a fi ọgbọ́n pèsè, wọ́n sì da iná ńlá nítorí rẹ̀.
