2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel has come up against Judah, and builds Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
I te toru tekau ma ono o nga tau o te kingitanga o Aha ka haere mai a Paaha kingi o Iharaira ki a Hura, a hanga ana a Rama e ia, kia kaua ai tetahi e tukua kia haere atu ranei, kia haere mai ranei ki a Aha kingi o Hura.
2 And Asa brings out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
Katahi ka tangohia katoatia e Aha te hiriwa me te koura i roto i nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, o te whare ano o te kingi, a hoatu ana kia kawea ki a Peneharara kingi o Hiria, i Ramahiku hoki ia e noho ana; i mea ia,
3 “A covenant [is] between me and you, and between my father and your father, behold, I have sent silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
He kawenata ta taua, he pera me ta toku papa raua ko tou papa: nana, te hiriwa, te koura i hoatu na e ahau kia kawea atu ki a koe. Haere, whakataka tau kawenata ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira, kia haere atu ai ia i toku taha.
4 And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has to cities of Israel, and they strike Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
Na rongo tonu a Peneharara ki a Kingi Aha, a tonoa ana e ia nga rangatira o ana ope ki nga pa o Iharaira; patua iho e ratou a Iiono, a Rana, a Aperemaima, me nga pa taonga katoa o Napatari.
5 And it comes to pass, at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and lets his work rest;
A, no te rongonga o Paaha, ka mutu tana hanga i Rama, a kore ake tona mahinga.
6 and Asa the king has taken all Judah, and they carry away the stones of Ramah and its wood that Baasha has built [with], and he builds Geba and Mizpah with them.
Na ka tikina e Kingi Aha a Hura katoa; a taria atu ana e ratou nga kohatu o Rama, me nga rakau o reira i hanga nei e Paaha; a hangaia ana e ia ki aua mea a Kepa me Mihipa.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer has come to Asa king of Judah and says to him, “Because of your leaning on the king of Aram, and you have not leaned on your God YHWH, therefore the force of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
I taua wa ka haere a Hanani matakite ki a Aha kingi o Hura, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua okioki na koe ki te kingi o Hiria, a kihai hoki koe i okioki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, mo reira ka mawhiti atu te ope o te kingi o Hiria i tou ringa.
8 Did the Cushim and the Lubim not become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? And in your leaning on YHWH He gave them into your hand,
Ko nga Etiopiana, ko nga Rupimi, he teka ianei he ope tino nui ratou, he maha noa atu hoki a ratou hariata, a ratou kaieke hoiho? heoi, i tou okiokinga ki a Ihowa, homai ana ratou e ia ki tou ringa.
9 for YHWH—His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect toward Him; you have been foolish concerning this, because from now on there are wars with you.”
E kopikopiko ana hoki nga kanohi o Ihowa i te whenua katoa, hei whakaatu i te kaha o tana awhina i te hunga e tapatahi ana o ratou ngakau ki a ia. He mahi kuware tenei nau; na ka whai pakanga koe i nga wa e takoto ake nei.
10 And Asa is angry at the seer, and puts him [in] the house of stocks, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresses [some] of the people at that time.
Katahi ka riri a Aha ki taua matakite, a hoatu ana e ia ki te whare herehere; he pukuriri hoki nona ki a ia mo tenei mea. I tukinotia ano e Aha etahi o te iwi i taua wa.
11 And behold, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Na, ko nga meatanga a Aha, o te timatanga, o muri, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura, o Iharaira.
12 And Asa is diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, until his disease is excessive; and also in his disease he has not sought YHWH, but among physicians.
Na i te toru tekau ma iwa o nga tau o tona kingitanga ka mate a Aha i ona waewae; a he tino nui tona mate; otiia i tona matenga kihai ia i rapu i ta Ihowa, engari i ta nga rata.
13 And Asa lies with his fathers, and dies in the forty-first year of his reign,
Na kua moe a Aha ki ona matua; i mate hoki i te wha tekau ma tahi o nga tau o tona kingitanga.
14 and they bury him in [one of] his graves that he had prepared for himself in the City of David, and they cause him to lie on a bed that [one] has filled [with] spices, and various kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn a very great burning for him.
A tanumia iho ia ki nga urupa i keria e ia mona ki te pa o Rawiri, whakatakotoria iho ki tetahi takotoranga e ki tonu ana i nga mea kakara, i nga tini mea whakaranu, he mea hanga na te kaiwhakaranu; a nui atu te tahunga i tahuna mona.
