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 the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel has come up against Judah, and builds Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming 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,
And Asa brings out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in 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.”
“A covenant [is] between me and you, and between my father and your father, behold, I have sent silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off 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 Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has to cities of Israel, and they strike Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
5 Esi Baasa se nya si dzɔ ko la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu kple eƒe dɔ la.
And it comes to pass, at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and lets his work rest;
6 Fia Asa kplɔ Yuda blibo la yi Rama eye wolɔ Fia Baasa ƒe xɔtukpewo kple xɔtutiwo tso afi ma ɖatu Geba kple Mizpa.
and Asa the king has taken all Judah, and they carry away the stones of Ramah and its wood that Baasha has built [with], and he builds 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.
And at that time Hanani the seer has come to Asa king of Judah and says to him, “Because of your leaning on the king of Aram, and you have not leaned on your God YHWH, therefore the force of the king of Aram has escaped from 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
Did the Cushim and the Lubim not become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? And in your leaning on YHWH He gave 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 YHWH—His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect toward Him; you have been foolish concerning this, because from now on there are wars with you.”
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.
And Asa is angry at the seer, and puts him [in] the house of stocks, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresses [some] of the people at that time.
11 Woŋlɔ Asa ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
And behold, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll 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.
And Asa is diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, until his disease is excessive; and also in his disease he has not sought YHWH, but among physicians.
13 Asa ku le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛlia me eye woɖii ɖe fofoawo gbɔ.
And Asa lies with his fathers, and dies 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.
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] has filled [with] spices, and various kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn a very great burning for him.
