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.
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 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,
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 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.'
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 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.
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 cometh to pass, at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and letteth 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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.'
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 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.
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 lo, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book 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 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.
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 lieth with his fathers, and dieth in the forty and 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] hath filled [with] spices, and divers kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn for him a burning — very great.
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.
