2 Tarihi 16
1 A shekara ta talatin da shida ta mulkin Asa, Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila ya haura don yă yaƙi Yahuda da Rama mai katanga, don kuma yă hana wani daga fita ko shiga yankin Asa sarkin Yahuda.
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Sai Asa ya ɗauki azurfa da zinariya daga ma’ajin haikalin Ubangiji da kuma na fadansa ya aika wa Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram, wanda yake mulki a Damaskus.
And Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,
3 Ya ce, “Bari yarjejjeniya ta kasance tsakani na da kai kamar yadda ya kasance tsakanin mahaifina da mahaifinka. Dubi ina aika maka azurfa da zinariya. Yanzu ka yanke yarjejjeniya da Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila domin yă janye daga gare ni.”
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I send thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
4 Ben-Hadad ya yarda da Sarki Asa ya kuma aika da manyan hafsoshin mayaƙansa a kan garuruwan Isra’ila. Suka ci Iyon, Dan, Abel-Mayim da kuma dukan biranen ajiya na Naftali.
And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon and Dan and Abelmaim, and all the store-magazines of the cities of Naphtali.
5 Da Ba’asha ya ji wannan, ya daina ginin Rama ya yashe aikinsa.
And it came to pass when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Sa’an nan Sarki Asa ya kawo dukan mutanen Yahuda, suka kuma kwashe duwatsu da katako daga Rama waɗanda Ba’asha yake amfani da su. Da su ne Asa ya gina Geba da Mizfa.
And king Asa took all Judah; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building, and he built with them Geba and Mizpah.
7 A lokacin Hanani mai duba ya zo wurin Asa sarkin Yahuda ya ce masa, “Don ka dogara ga sarkin Aram, ba kuwa ga Ubangiji Allahnka ba ne mayaƙan sarkin Aram sun kuɓuce daga hannunka.
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and hast not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore has the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
8 Ai, Kushawa da Libiyawa rundunar sojoji ne masu yawan gaske, suna kuma da kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai masu yawa ƙwarai. Amma duk da haka, saboda ka dogara ga Ubangiji, ya kuwa ba da su cikin hannunka.
Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? but when thou didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy hand.
9 Gama gaban Ubangiji yana ko’ina a duniya don yă ƙarfafa waɗanda zukatansu suke binsa cikin aminci. Ka yi wauta, daga yanzu nan gaba za ka yi ta yaƙi.”
For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro through the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
10 Sai Asa ya yi fushi sosai da mai duban saboda wannan; ya yi fushi ƙwarai har ya sa aka jefa shi a kurkuku. A lokaci guda kuma Asa ya fara gwada wa mutane azaba.
And Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was enraged with him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Ayyukan mulkin Asa, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, suna a rubuce a littafin sarakunan Yahuda da Isra’ila.
And behold the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 A shekara ta talatin da tara ta mulkinsa, Asa ya kamu da wata cuta a ƙafarsa. Ko da yake cutar ta yi tsanani, duk d haka ma a cikin ciwonsa bai nemi taimako daga Ubangiji ba, sai dai daga likitoci.
And Asa in the thirty-ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was extremely great; yet in his disease he did not seek Jehovah, but the physicians.
13 Sa’an nan a shekara ta arba’in da ɗaya ta mulkinsa, Asa ya mutu ya kuma huta tare da kakanninsa.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one-and-fortieth year of his reign.
14 Suka binne shi a kabarin da ya fafe wa kansa a Birnin Dawuda. Suka sa shi a makara wadda aka rufe da kayan yaji da kuma turare dabam-dabam da aka niƙa, suka kuma ƙuna babbar wuta don girmama shi.
And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had excavated for himself in the city of David, and laid him in a bed filled with spices, a mixture of divers kinds prepared by the perfumer's art; and they made a very great burning for him.
