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.
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 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 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 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.”
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 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 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 Da Ba’asha ya ji wannan, ya daina ginin Rama ya yashe aikinsa.
And it came to pass when Baasa heard [it] he left off building Rama, and put a stop to his work:
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ayyukan mulkin Asa, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, suna a rubuce a littafin sarakunan Yahuda da Isra’ila.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, the first and the last, [are] written in the book of the kings of Juda 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 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 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 forties 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 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.
