2 Maũndũ 16
1 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama na agĩtiganĩria wĩra wake.
And when Baasha heard it, he left building of Ramah, and let his worke cease.
6 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 Maũndũ ma wathani wa Asa kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo mbuku-inĩ ya athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
And behold, the actes of Asa first and last, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.
12 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.
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 Na mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe wa wathani wake, Asa agĩkua na akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
So Asa slept with his fathers, and dyed in the one and fourtieth yeere of his reigne.
14 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.
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.
