2 Chronicles 16
1 When Asa had been ruling [Judah] for almost 36 years, King Baasha of Israel went [with his army] to attack Judah. They [captured the town of] Ramah [north of Jerusalem] and started to build a wall around [it], in order to prevent any people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa [because the only road into Judah from Israel went through Ramah].
Iti maika-36 a tawen a panagturay ni Asa, rinaut ni Baasa nga ari ti Israel ti Juda, ket rinugianna a sinarikedkedan ti Rama tapno saanna a palubosan ti siasinoman a pumanaw wenno sumrek iti daga ni Asa, nga ari ti Juda.
2 So Asa told his workers to take all the silver and gold that was in the storerooms of the temple and in his own palace, and take and give it to Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, who was ruling in Damascus. [He sent him a message, ] saying
Ket inruar ni Asa dagiti pirak ken balitok manipud kadagiti pagiduldulinan iti balay ni Yahweh ken iti balay ti ari, ket impatulodna dagitoy kenni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram, nga agnanaed idiay Damasco. Kinunana,
3 “I want there to be a peace treaty between me and you, like there was between my father and your father. Look, I am sending you [a lot of] silver and gold. So please cancel the treaty that you have made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
“Adda koma katulagan iti nagbaetanta, a kas iti katulagan iti nagbaetan ti amak ken ti amam. Kitaem, nangipatulodak kenka iti pirak ken balitok. Waswasem ti nagtulaganyo kenni Baasa, nga ari ti Israel, tapno saannakon a rauten.”
4 Ben-Hadad agreed to do what King Asa [suggested]. He sent the commanders of his armies [with their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah and all the cities in the area belonging to the tribe of Naphtali where supplies were kept.
Dimngeg ni Ben Hadad kenni Ari Asa ket imbaonna dagiti armadana a mangraut kadagiti siudad ti Israel. Rinautda ti Ijon, Dan, Abelmaim, ken dagiti amin a pagiduldulinan iti siudad ti Neftali.
5 When Baasha heard about that, he [commanded his troops to] stop fortifying Ramah and doing other work there.
Ket napasamak nga idi nangngeg ni Baasa daytoy, insardengna ti panangsarikedkedna iti Rama ket saannan nga intuloy ti trabaho.
6 Then King Asa gathered all the men of Judah, and they took away from Ramah all the stones and timber that Baasha’s men had been using [to build the wall around that town]. They took those materials to [the town of] Geba and [the city of] Mizpah [north of Jerusalem] and built walls around them.
Ket intugot ni Asa nga ari ti entero a Juda. Binunagda dagiti bato ken tarikayo idiay Rama nga us-usaren ni Baasa iti pannakasarikedked ti siudad. Ket inusar ni Ari Asa dagitoy a pinangsarikedked iti Geba ken Mizpa.
7 At that time the prophet Hanani went to King Asa and said to him, “Because you relied on the king of Syria and not on Yahweh our God, you missed your opportunity to destroy the army of the king of Syria.
Iti dayta a tiempo napan ni Hanani a profeta kenni Asa, nga ari ti Juda, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Gapu ta nagtalekka iti ari ti Aram, ket saanka a nagtalek kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, nakalibas ti armada ti ari ti Aram kadagiti imam.
8 The huge armies from Ethiopia and Libya with all their chariots and soldiers [riding] on horses [were certainly very powerful. But] when you relied on Yahweh, he enabled your army to defeat them.
Saan kadi a dakkel nga armada dagiti taga-Etiopia ken dagiti taga-Libya, ken addaanda iti nakaad-adu a karwahe ken nakakabalio a mannakigubat? Ngem, gapu ta nagtalekka kenni Yahweh, pinagballiginaka kadakuada.
9 That happened because Yahweh sees [what is happening] all over the earth, and he strengthens those who completely trust him. You have done a very foolish thing, so from now on other armies will be fighting your army.”
Ta sikikita dagiti mata ni Yahweh iti sadinoman, iti entero a daga, tapno maipakitana a napigsa isuna para kadagiti sipupuso a sumursurot kenkuana. Ngem nagtignayka a simamaag maipapan iti daytoy a banag. Manipud ita, kanayonto ti pannakigubatmo.”
10 Asa was very angry with the prophet because of what the prophet had said. So he [commanded his officials to] put Hanani in prison. At that same time, he started to treat some of his people very cruelly.
Ket nakapungtot ni Asa iti profeta; impaibaludna, ta nakapungtot isuna kenkuana maipanggep iti daytoy a banag. Iti dayta met laeng a tiempo, pinarigat ni Asa dagiti dadduma a tattao.
11 All the things that Asa did while he was ruling, from the time he started to rule until he died, are written in the scroll containing the record of the [activities of the] kings of Judah and Israel.
Adtoy, dagiti aramid ni Asa, manipud iti umuna agingga iti maudi, naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Ar-ari ti Juda ken Israel.
12 When Asa had been ruling for almost 39 years, he was afflicted with a disease in his feet. The disease was very severe, but in spite of that, he did not request help from Yahweh. Instead he sought help only from doctors.
Iti maika-39 a tawen ti panagturayna, adda sakit a kimpet iti sakana; nakaru unay ti sakitna; Uray no kasta, saan latta isuna a dimmawat iti tulong kenni Yahweh no di ket kadagiti mangngagas laeng.
13 When he had been ruling for almost 40 years, he died.
Pimmusay ni Asa; natay isuna idi maika-41 a tawen ti panagturayna.
14 He was buried in the tomb that his workers had made for him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. They laid his corpse on a bed covered with spices and various perfumes that had been mixed together. They also lit a huge fire to honor him.
Intabonda isuna iti bukodna a tanem, a kinalina para kenkuana iti siudad ni David. Impaiddada isuna iti pagiddaan dagiti natay a napno kadagiti pabanglo ken nadumaduma a rekado nga insagana dagiti nalalaing nga agar-aramid iti pabanglo. Ket nagpasgedda iti dakkel nga apuy a kas panangipakitada iti panangraemda kenkuana.
