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.
And in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Asa, the king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so as not to allow egress or ingress to Asa king of Juda.
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.
And Asa took silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent [them] to the son of Ader king of Syria, which lived in 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.”
Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold, I have sent you gold and silver: come, and turn away from me Baasa king of Israel, and let him 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 the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his host against the cities of Israel; and struck Aeon, and Dan, and Abelmain, and all the country round Nephthali.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama na agĩtiganĩria wĩra wake.
And it came to pass when Baasa heard [it] he left off building Rama, and put a stop to his work:
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 king Asa took all Juda, and took the stones of Rama, and its timber, [with] which Baasa [had] built; and he built with them Gabae and Maspha.
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 time came Anani the prophet to Asa king of Juda, and said to him, Because you did trust on the king of Syria, and did not trust on the Lord your God, therefore the army of Syria is escaped out of your hand.
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.
Were not the Ethiopians and Libyans a great force, in courage, in horsemen, in great numbers? and did not He deliver them into your hands, because you trusted in the Lord?
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 look upon all the earth, to strengthen every heart that is perfect toward him. In this you have done foolishly; henceforth there shall be war with you.
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.
And Asa was angry with the prophet, and put him in prison, for he was angry at this: and Asa vexed some of the people at that time.
11 Maũndũ ma wathani wa Asa kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo mbuku-inĩ ya athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, the first and the last, [are] written in the book of the kings of Juda 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 was diseased [in] his feet in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, until he was very ill: but in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.
13 Na mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe wa wathani wake, Asa agĩkua na akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forties year of his reign.
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 buried him in the sepulchre which he had dug for himself in the city of David, and they laid him on a bed, and filled [it] with spices and [all] kinds of perfumes of the apothecaries; and they made for him a very great funeral.
