< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa, come up hath Baasha king of Israel, against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtandatũ wa wathani wa Asa, Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩambatire akarũe na Juda, na akĩirigĩra Rama na rũthingo rwa hinya nĩguo arigĩrĩrie gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkuuma kana atoonye bũrũri wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
2 And Asa bringeth out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king, and sendeth unto Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
Nake Asa akĩoya betha na thahabu kuuma igĩĩna-inĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova o na kuuma nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na agĩcitũmĩra Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata ũrĩa wathamakaga Dameski.
3 'A covenant [is] between me and thee, and between my father and thy father, lo, I have sent to thee silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he doth go up from off me.'
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke hakorwo harĩ na kĩrĩĩko giitũ nawe o ta ũrĩa haarĩ kĩrĩĩko gatagatĩ ka baba na thoguo. Ta kĩone, nĩndagũtũmĩra betha na thahabu. Rĩu tharia kĩrĩĩko kĩanyu na Baasha, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atigane na niĩ.”
4 And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath unto cities of Israel, and they smite Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
Beni-Hadadi agĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro wa Mũthamaki Asa, agĩtũma anene a ikundi cia thigari ciake makahũũre matũũra ma Isiraeli. Nao magĩtooria Ijoni, na Dani, na Abeli-Maimu, na matũũra manene mothe marĩa maarĩ makũmbĩ ma kũu Nafitali.
5 And it cometh to pass, at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and letteth his work rest;
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama na agĩtiganĩria wĩra wake.
6 and Asa the king hath taken all Judah, and they bear away the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and he buildeth with them Geba and Mizpah.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Asa akĩrehe andũ othe a Juda, nao magĩkuua mahiga na mbaũ kuuma Rama iria Baasha aatũmagĩra gwaka. Indo icio nĩcio Asa aatũmĩrire gwaka Geba na Mizipa.
7 And at that time hath Hanani the seer come in unto Asa king of Judah, and saith unto him, 'Because of thy leaning on the king of Aram, and thou hast not leaned on Jehovah thy God, therefore hath the force of the king of Aram escaped from thy hand.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hanani ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ agĩũka kũrĩ Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩwehokire mũthamaki wa Suriata ũkĩaga kwĩhoka Jehova Ngai waku, mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩciũrĩte ikoima moko-inĩ maku.
8 Did not the Cushim and the Lubim become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? and in thy leaning on Jehovah He gave them into thy hand,
Githĩ Akushi na Alubi, matiarĩ mbũtũ nene ya ita, na makagĩa na ngaari cia ita nyingĩ na andũ arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi? No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa wehokire Jehova, nĩamaneanire moko-inĩ maku.
9 for Jehovah — His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect towards Him; thou hast been foolish concerning this, because — henceforth there are with thee wars.'
Nĩgũkorwo maitho ma Jehova morũũraga thĩ yothe gwĩkĩra hinya arĩa maheanĩte ngoro ciao biũ kũrĩ we. Nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ wa ũrimũ, na kuuma rĩu nĩũgũcooka kũgĩa na mbaara.”
10 And Asa is angry at the seer, and giveth him to the house of torture, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresseth [some] of the people at that time.
Asa akĩrakarĩra Hanani ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio; akĩmũrakarĩra mũno o nginya akĩmũikia njeera. O hĩndĩ ĩyo, Asa akĩambĩrĩria kũhinyĩrĩria andũ amwe atarĩ na tha.
11 And lo, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Maũndũ ma wathani wa Asa kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo mbuku-inĩ ya athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
12 And Asa is diseased — in the thirty and ninth year of his reign — in his feet, till his disease is excessive, and also in his disease he hath not sought Jehovah, but among physicians.
Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa wathani wake, Asa nĩarũarire magũrũ. O na gũtuĩka mũrimũ ũcio nĩwamũhatĩrĩirie mũno, o na ndwari-inĩ yake-rĩ, ndaigana kũmaatha ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no aacaririe ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ mandagĩtarĩ.
13 And Asa lieth with his fathers, and dieth in the forty and first year of his reign,
Na mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe wa wathani wake, Asa agĩkua na akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
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] hath filled [with] spices, and divers kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn for him a burning — very great.
Nao makĩmũthika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa eethondekeire o kũu Itũũra inene rĩa Daudi, makĩmũigĩrĩra gĩtanda-inĩ gĩa kũmũtwara mbĩrĩra kĩhumbĩrĩtwo na mahuti manungi wega na maguta mĩtukanio mĩingĩ marĩa manungi wega, nao magĩakia mwaki mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũtĩĩa.
