2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, 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.
Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na isii nke ọchịchị Asa, Baasha eze Izrel, busoro Juda agha, wuchie Rema igbochi onye ọbụla na-apụ apụ maọbụ onye na-abata abata nʼoke ala Asa, eze Juda.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Asa chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo niile dị nʼụlọakụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị dị nʼụlọeze ya, zigara Ben-Hadad, eze Aram, onye na-achị na Damaskọs, sị,
3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”
“Biko, ka anyị gbaa ndụ dịka nna m na nna gị mere. Lee, ana m ezitere gị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo. Ugbu a, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti gị na Baasha, bụ eze Izrel, ka o si nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya.”
4 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadad kwenyere eze Asa, zipụ ndị ọchịagha ndị agha ya ka ha gaa buso obodo Izrel niile agha. Ha lụgburu Ijon, Dan, Ebel-Maim na obodo niile a na-achịkọbata ihe dị na Naftalị.
5 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Mgbe Baasha nụrụ nke a, ọ kwụsịrị iwu Rema, hapụkwa ọrụ ya.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Asa chịịrị ndị ikom niile nke Juda. Ha bịara bupusịa nkume na osisi niile dị na Rema, nke Baasha ji na-ewu ihe. O ji ihe ndị a wulie Geba na Mizpa.
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 Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
Nʼoge ahụ Hanani, bụ onye ọhụ ụzọ bịakwutere Asa, bụ eze Juda sị ya, “Ebe ọ bụ na ị hapụrụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, tụkwasị eze Aram obi, lee na usuu ndị agha Siria esitela nʼaka gị wezuga onwe ha.
8 Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
Ndị Kush na ndị Libịa, ha abụghị usuu ndị agha ji ọtụtụ ụgbọ agha, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya? Ma mgbe ị dabeere na Onyenwe anyị, o nyefere ha nʼaka gị.
9 For the LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
Nʼihi na anya Onyenwe anyị na-agazu ụwa niile, ịgba ha ume bụ ndị obi ha zuruoke nʼebe ọ nọ. I meela omume nzuzu na nke a, site ugbu a gaa nʼihu ị ga na-enwe agha.”
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.
Iwe were Asa megide onye ọhụ ụzọ a nʼihi nke a; iwe were ya nke ukwuu nke mere na ọ tụnyere Hanani nʼụlọ mkpọrọ. Sitekwa nʼoge ahụ, Asa bidoro imekpa ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ya ahụ.
11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ihe banyere ihe ọzọ niile nʼoge ọchịchị Asa, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ ka e dere nʼime akwụkwọ ndị eze Juda na Izrel.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just the physicians.
Nʼime iri afọ atọ na itoolu nke ọchịchị ya, eze Asa rịara ọrịa nke metụtara ụkwụ ya abụọ. Ọ bụ ezie na ọrịa a siri nọọ ike ma nʼime ọnọdụ ya ọ chọghị enyemaka site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị kama ọ bụ naanị ndị dibịa ka o jekwuru.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Asa nwụrụ nʼiri afọ anọ na otu nke ọchịchị eze ya, sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ.
14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
Ha liri ya nʼili nke ọ waara onwe ya nʼobodo Devid. Ha dobere ya nʼelu ihe ịdọba ozu nke jupụtara na ụda dị iche iche, na mmanụ na-esi isi ụtọ nke a gwọkọtara nke ọma, surekwara ya ihe nsure ọkụ nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu iji kwanyere ya ugwu.
