2 Chronicles 16
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Le Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adelia me la, Baasa, Israel fia, ho aʋa ɖe Yuda ŋu. Eɖo gli sesẽ ƒo xlã Rama ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu age ɖe Yuda fia, Asa, ƒe nuto me alo ado tso eme o.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Ale Asa tsɔ klosalo kple sika tso Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me ɖo ɖe Siria fia, Ben Hadad, le Damasko eye wòɖo du ɖee bena,
3 [There is] a league between me and thee, as [there was] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
“Na míagbugbɔ míaƒe dedinɔnɔ ƒe nubabla si nɔ fofowò kple fofonye dome la awɔ yeyee. Kpɔ ɖa, xɔ klosalo kple sika sia ale be nàtu nubabla si le wò kple Israel fia, Baasa dome ale be wòadzudzɔ aʋawɔwɔ kplim.”
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
Ben Hadad lɔ̃ ɖe Fia Asa ƒe nya la dzi heƒo eƒe aʋakɔ nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ƒe duwo ŋu. Wogbã du siawo: Iyɔn, Dan kple Abel Maim kple nudzraɖoƒe duwo katã le Naftali.
5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
Esi Baasa se nya si dzɔ ko la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu kple eƒe dɔ la.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Fia Asa kplɔ Yuda blibo la yi Rama eye wolɔ Fia Baasa ƒe xɔtukpewo kple xɔtutiwo tso afi ma ɖatu Geba kple Mizpa.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
Nyagblɔɖila Hanani yi Fia Asa gbɔ ɣe ma ɣi eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Esi nèɖo ŋu ɖe Siria fia ŋu eye menye ɖe Yehowa, wò Mawu ŋu o ta la, Siria fia ƒe aʋakɔ si dzo le gbɔwò.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
Mèɖo ŋku nu si dzɔ ɖe Kustɔwo kple Libiatɔwo kple woƒe aʋakɔ gã la kple woƒe tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo katã dzi oa? Èɖo ŋu ɖe Yehowa ŋu ɣe ma ɣi eye wòtsɔ wo katã de asi na wò
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋku kpɔa nu yia megbe kple ŋgɔgbe siaa to xexe blibo la me eye wòdia ame siwo nɔa eyome kple dzi blibo ale be yeate ŋu aɖe yeƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la afia to kpekpeɖeŋunana wo me. Èwɔ bometsinu eya ta tso azɔ dzi yina la, ànɔ aʋawɔwɔ dzi.”
10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this [thing]. And Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same time.
Asa do dɔmedzoe ɖe nyagblɔɖila la ŋu le nya si wògblɔ nɛ la ta eye wòdee gaxɔ me. Asa te ameawo katã ɖe anyi ɣe ma ɣi.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Woŋlɔ Asa ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceeding [great: ] yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
Le Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekelia me la, dɔléle sesẽ aɖe va dze eƒe afɔ dzi. Metsɔ dɔléle sia ɖo Yehowa ŋkume o, ke boŋ eyi atikewɔlawo gbɔ.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Asa ku le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛlia me eye woɖii ɖe fofoawo gbɔ.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries’ art: and they made a very great burning for him.
Woɖii ɖe yɔdo si eya ŋutɔ ɖe na eɖokui la me le David ƒe du la me. Wotsɔe mlɔ aba, si dzi wotsɔ atike ʋeʋĩ vovovo siwo atikeɖala veviwo tɔtɔ da ɖo la dzi, eye wodo dzo gã aɖe nɛ eteƒe mekɔ o.
