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 sixe and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa came Baasha king of Israel vp against Iudah, and built Ramah to let none passe out or goe in to Asa king of Iudah.

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 siluer and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the Kings house, and sent to Benhadad King of Aram that dwelt 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.”

There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent thee siluer and golde: come, breake thy league with Baasha King of Israel that hee 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.

And Benhadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the armies which hee had, against the cities of Israel. And they smote Iion, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.

5 Esi Baasa se nya si dzɔ ko la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu kple eƒe dɔ la.

And when Baasha heard it, he left building of Ramah, and let his worke 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 tooke all Iudah, and caryed away the stones of Ramah and the tymber thereof, wherewith Baasha did builde, and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

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.

And at that same time Hanani the Seer came to Asa King of Iudah, and saide vnto him, Because thou hast rested vpon the king of Aram, and not rested in the Lord thy God, therefore is the hoste of the King of Aram escaped out of thine hande.

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

The Ethiopians and the Lubims, were they not a great hoste with charets and horsemen, exceeding many? yet because thou diddest rest vpon the Lord, he deliuered them into thine had.

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 eyes of the Lord beholde all the earth to shewe him selfe strong with them that are of perfite heart towarde him: thou hast then done foolishly in this: therefore from henceforth thou shalt haue warres.

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 wroth with the Seer, and put him into a prison: for he was displeased with him, because of this thing. And Asa oppressed certaine of the people at the same time.

11 Woŋlɔ Asa ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.

And behold, the actes of Asa first and last, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah 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.

And Asa in the nine and thirtieth yeere of his reigne was diseased in his feete, and his disease was extreme: yet he sought not the Lord in his disease, but to the Phisicions.

13 Asa ku le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛlia me eye woɖii ɖe fofoawo gbɔ.

So Asa slept with his fathers, and dyed in the one and fourtieth yeere of his reigne.

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.

And they buryed him in one of his sepulchres, which he had made for him selfe in the citie of Dauid, and layed him in the bed, which they had filled with sweete odours and diuers kindes of spices made by the arte of the apoticarie: and they burnt odours for him with an exceeding great fire.
