Kronika 2 16
1 Le Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adelia me la, Baasa, Israel fia, ho aʋa ɖe Yuda ŋu. Eɖo gli sesẽ ƒo xlã Rama ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu age ɖe Yuda fia, Asa, ƒe nuto me alo ado tso eme o.
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.
2 Ale Asa tsɔ klosalo kple sika tso Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me ɖo ɖe Siria fia, Ben Hadad, le Damasko eye wòɖo du ɖee bena,
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,
3 “Na míagbugbɔ míaƒe dedinɔnɔ ƒe nubabla si nɔ fofowò kple fofonye dome la awɔ yeyee. Kpɔ ɖa, xɔ klosalo kple sika sia ale be nàtu nubabla si le wò kple Israel fia, Baasa dome ale be wòadzudzɔ aʋawɔwɔ kplim.”
“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.”
4 Ben Hadad lɔ̃ ɖe Fia Asa ƒe nya la dzi heƒo eƒe aʋakɔ nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ƒe duwo ŋu. Wogbã du siawo: Iyɔn, Dan kple Abel Maim kple nudzraɖoƒe duwo katã le Naftali.
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.
5 Esi Baasa se nya si dzɔ ko la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu kple eƒe dɔ la.
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Fia Asa kplɔ Yuda blibo la yi Rama eye wolɔ Fia Baasa ƒe xɔtukpewo kple xɔtutiwo tso afi ma ɖatu Geba kple Mizpa.
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.
7 Nyagblɔɖila Hanani yi Fia Asa gbɔ ɣe ma ɣi eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Esi nèɖo ŋu ɖe Siria fia ŋu eye menye ɖe Yehowa, wò Mawu ŋu o ta la, Siria fia ƒe aʋakɔ si dzo le gbɔwò.
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.
8 Mèɖo ŋku nu si dzɔ ɖe Kustɔwo kple Libiatɔwo kple woƒe aʋakɔ gã la kple woƒe tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo katã dzi oa? Èɖo ŋu ɖe Yehowa ŋu ɣe ma ɣi eye wòtsɔ wo katã de asi na wò
Were not 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.
9 elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋku kpɔa nu yia megbe kple ŋgɔgbe siaa to xexe blibo la me eye wòdia ame siwo nɔa eyome kple dzi blibo ale be yeate ŋu aɖe yeƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la afia to kpekpeɖeŋunana wo me. Èwɔ bometsinu eya ta tso azɔ dzi yina la, ànɔ aʋawɔwɔ dzi.”
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 toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
10 Asa do dɔmedzoe ɖe nyagblɔɖila la ŋu le nya si wògblɔ nɛ la ta eye wòdee gaxɔ me. Asa te ameawo katã ɖe anyi ɣe ma ɣi.
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.
11 Woŋlɔ Asa ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Le Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekelia me la, dɔléle sesẽ aɖe va dze eƒe afɔ dzi. Metsɔ dɔléle sia ɖo Yehowa ŋkume o, ke boŋ eyi atikewɔlawo gbɔ.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but just the physicians.
13 Asa ku le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛlia me eye woɖii ɖe fofoawo gbɔ.
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 Woɖii ɖe yɔdo si eya ŋutɔ ɖe na eɖokui la me le David ƒe du la me. Wotsɔe mlɔ aba, si dzi wotsɔ atike ʋeʋĩ vovovo siwo atikeɖala veviwo tɔtɔ da ɖo la dzi, eye wodo dzo gã aɖe nɛ eteƒe mekɔ o.
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 odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
