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 Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to 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.
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived 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.”
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty 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.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Da Ba’asha ya ji wannan, ya daina ginin Rama ya yashe aikinsa.
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped 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.
Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
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.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has 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.
Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your 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 LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will 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.
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. 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.
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.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just the physicians.
13 Sa’an nan a shekara ta arba’in da ɗaya ta mulkinsa, Asa ya mutu ya kuma huta tare da kakanninsa.
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first 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.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
