< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Anno autem trigesimo sexto regni eius, ascendit Baasa rex Israel in Iudam, et muro circumdabat Rama, ut nullus tute posset egredi et ingredi de regno Asa.
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 Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Protulit ergo Asa argentum et aurum de thesauris domus Domini, et de thesauris regis, misitque ad Benadad regem Syriae, qui habitabat in Damasco, dicens:
3 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
Foedus inter me et te est, pater quoque meus et pater tuus habuere concordiam: quam ob rem misi tibi argentum et aurum, ut rupto foedere, quod habes cum Baasa rege Israel, facias eum a me recedere.
4 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
Quo comperto, Benadad misit principes exercituum suorum ad urbes Israel: qui percusserunt Ahion, et Dan, et Abelmaim, et universas urbes Nephthali muratas.
5 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Quod cum audisset Baasa desiit aedificare Rama, et intermisit opus suum.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Porro Asa rex assumpsit universum Iudam, et tulerunt lapides de Rama, et ligna quae aedificationi praeparaverat Baasa, aedificavitque ex eis Gabaa, et Maspha.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the army of the king of Aram escaped out of your hand.
In tempore illo venit Hanani propheta ad Asam regem Iuda, et dixit ei: Quia habuisti fiduciam in rege Syriae, et non in Domino Deo tuo, idcirco evasit Syriae regis exercitus de manu tua.
8 Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
Nonne Aethiopes, et Libyes multo plures erant quadrigis, et equitibus, et multitudine nimia: quos, cum in Domino credidisses, tradidit in manu tua?
9 For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from now on you shall have wars."
Oculi enim Domini contemplantur universam terram, et praebent fortitudinem his, qui corde perfecto credunt in eum. Stulte igitur egisti, et propter hoc ex praesenti tempore adversum te bella consurgent.
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
Iratusque Asa adversus Videntem, iussit eum mitti in nervum: valde quippe super hoc fuerat indignatus: et interfecit de populo in tempore illo plurimos.
11 Look, the acts of Asa, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Opera autem Asa prima et novissima scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but to the physicians.
Aegrotavit etiam Asa anno trigesimo nono regni sui, dolore pedum vehementissimo, et nec in infirmitate sua quaesivit Dominum, sed magis in medicorum arte confisus est.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Dormivitque cum patribus suis: et mortuus est anno quadragesimo primo regni sui.
14 They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.
Et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo quod foderat sibi in Civitate David: posueruntque eum super lectum suum plenum aromatibus et unguentibus meretriciis, quae erant pigmentariorum arte confecta, et combusserunt super eum ambitione nimia.
